ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

                 On October 26, 1995 Manville Corporation ("Manville") 
announced that its 81.5% owned subsidiary, Riverwood International Corporation 
("Riverwood") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger 
Agreement"), dated as of October 25, 1995, with CDRO Holding Corporation 
("Parent") and CDRO Acquisition Corporation (the "Purchaser").  Based on the 
merger price of $20.25 per share of Riverwood Common Stock, Manville would 
receive gross proceeds from the merger of Manville of approximately $1.1 
billion for its Riverwood investment.

                 Manville also announced that it has entered into a Profit
Sharing Exchange Agreement, dated as of October 25, 1995, (the "Exchange
Agreement") with Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust (the "PI Trust")
pursuant to which, among other things, the PI Trust would agree to eliminate
its right to receive annually 20% of Manville's adjusted net earnings, certain
rights to receive a portion of unutilized proceeds from certain asset sales and
certain affirmative and negative covenants binding on Manville, in exchange for
(the "Exchange") the issuance by Manville to the PI Trust of shares of Manville
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Manville Common Stock") in an
amount representing 20% of the Common Stock of Manville assuming exercise of
all outstanding options and warrants and after giving effect to the Exchange.
It is contemplated that the Exchange would take place in connection with a pro
rata dividend to all stockholders of the net proceeds to Manville from the
Riverwood merger.  Under the Exchange Agreement before paying any dividend,
Manville may elect to apply a portion of the proceeds of a Riverwood
disposition to the redemption of all or part of its outstanding Cumulative
Preference Stock, Series B having an aggregate liquidation preference of
approximately $231 million plus accrued dividends and its outstanding $26
million of 9% Sinking Fund Debentures.  The closing of the transactions
contemplated under the Exchange Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of a number of conditions.  Manville's obligation to declare and pay a
dividend is also subject to a number of conditions.

                 Manville also announced that it has entered into a Voting and
Indemnification Agreement, dated as of October 25, 1995 with Parent and the
Purchaser (the "Voting and Indemnification Agreement").  Pursuant to the Voting
and Indemnification Agreement, Manville has agreed that until the earliest of
(A) the effective time of the merger under the Merger Agreement, (B) the date
on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or (C)
March 31, 1996, (i) subject to receipt of stockholder approval and certain
other conditions, Manville will vote its shares of Riverwood Common Stock in
favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger

<PAGE>   3
Agreement, and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
thereby and (ii) against certain acquisition transactions for Riverwood or
certain other proposed corporate actions of Riverwood; unless the Manville
Board of Directors determines in its good faith, reasonable judgment, after
consultation with its counsel, that voting as described above could reasonably
be expected to constitute a breach of the Board's fiduciary duties under
applicable law.  The Voting and Indemnification Agreement also provides that,
subject to certain limitations, Manville will provide certain indemnities to
Parent and the Purchaser against losses resulting from or arising out of any 
breach of or inaccuracy in certain representations or warranties of Riverwood 
set forth in the Merger Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
(i) Manville will not be required to indemnify unless and until the aggregate 
amount of all losses exceeds $20,000,000 and then only to the extent the 
losses exceed $20,000,000; (ii) the obligation to indemnify is limited to an 
amount equal to 80% of the amount of losses in excess of $20,000,000; and 
(iii) the aggregate liability of Manville for indemnification will not exceed 
$100,000,000.

                 Manville, Riverwood, Parent and the Purchaser have also
entered into a Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of October 25, 1995, relating to
certain United States federal, state and local, and foreign, taxation matters,
effective upon the effectiveness of the proposed merger.

                 The Exchange Agreement, the Voting and Indemnification
Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the press
release issued by Manville in connection therewith are filed herewith as
Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 99.1, respectively, and are incorporated
herein by reference.  The descriptions of the Exchange Agreement, the Voting
and Indemnification Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement set forth above do
not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the provisions of such agreements.  The Exchange Agreement also provides for
the execution of the Second Amended and Restated Supplemental Agreement between
Manville and the PI Trust and the Ninth Amendment to the Manville Personal
Injury Settlement Trust Agreement.  The forms of Second Amendment and the Ninth
Amendment are attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively, to the Exchange
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE III

                COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE AND PROFIT SHARING PAYMENT

                 SECTION 3.01.  Issuance of Common Stock.  On the Closing Date,
the Company shall issue the Conversion Shares to the Trust, by delivering to
the Trust one or more certificates (as requested by the Trust) representing the
Conversion Shares





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
duly registered in the name of the Trust, and the Company shall cause the
transfer agent to record the Trust as sole holder of record of the Conversion
Shares on and as of the Closing Date and shall provide the Trust with a
certificate of the transfer agent with respect to such recordation (or other
reasonably available written proof thereof) at the Closing.  Prior to the
Closing, the Company shall apply for and take all necessary steps to obtain the
approval (to the extent required) of the listing of the Conversion Shares on
any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded.

                 SECTION 3.02.  Profit Sharing Payment.  The Company shall pay
to the Trust an amount equal to 20% of the sum of Profits (or zero if Profits
is a negative number) and Government Proceeds within 30 days following the last
day of the month during which the Closing Date occurs, for the period beginning
on the first day of the Fiscal Year in which the Closing Date occurs and ending
on the day prior to the Closing Date.  Such amount shall be determined in good
faith by management of the Company based on the financial results of the
Company and reasonable assumptions and estimates, in each case determined in a
manner consistent with past practice for the determination of Profits for the
Company's Fiscal Years under the Supplemental Agreement.  When the Company
makes the payment of Profits pursuant to this Section 3.02, it shall deliver to
the Trust a certificate signed by the chief executive officer, the chief
financial officer or the controller of the Company setting forth in reasonable
detail the computation of such Profits and explaining any material assumptions
or estimates used in such computation.  If the Closing Date occurs on a day
other than the first day of a month, Profits for the period from the first day
of such month to the day prior to the Closing Date (the "Profit Period") shall
be the product of (A) Profits for such month multiplied by (B) the quotient of
(i) the number of days in the Profit Period divided by (ii) the number of days
in such month.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in the Second Amended and Restated Supplemental Agreement, the
Company shall remain obligated to make the payment required by Section 2.03(a)
of the Supplemental Agreement with respect to any Fiscal Year of the Company
which ends prior to the Fiscal Year in which the Closing Date occurs and for
which such payment has not been made as of the date of this Agreement.  The
parties agree that Profits shall be determined by not giving effect to any
Disposition or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any payment of Profits pursuant to this Section 3.02, the
issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3.01, the Dividend or any
accounting or tax effects relating to any of the foregoing.

                 SECTION 3.03.  Use of Proceeds of Disposition.

                          (a)  If the Company, directly or indirectly, sells or
otherwise disposes of all or a substantial portion of its investment in RIC (a
"Disposition"), regardless of the form of such disposition (including, without
limitation, any sale or other disposition by RIC of all or substantially all of
its assets), then within 60 days following receipt by the Company of the
proceeds of such Disposition (the "Proceeds"), the Company shall apply the net
Proceeds after payment of, or reasonable provision for, all out-of-pocket fees,
expenses, taxes and other costs paid or incurred (including reasonable reserves
for out-of-pocket fees, expenses, taxes and costs accrued but not paid at such
time) reasonably related to the effectuation of such Disposition (the "Transfer
Proceeds") as follows:  (i) first, to repayment, prepayment or redemption of
the Class 6 Interest Debentures to the extent that the Board, by vote of a
majority of the Non-Trust Directors, determines that such repayment, prepayment
or redemption would be in the best interests of the Company and authorizes and
directs that such repayment, prepayment or redemption be made, (ii) second, to
the extent of the balance of Transfer Proceeds after deduction of the amount
applied in accordance with clause (i), to the repurchase or redemption of
Series B Preference Stock to the extent that the Board, by vote of a majority
of the Non-Trust Directors, determines that such repurchase or redemption would
be in the best interests of the Company and authorizes and directs that such
repurchase or redemption be made, and (iii) third, to the extent of the balance
of Transfer Proceeds after deduction of the amount applied in accordance with
clauses (i) and (ii), subject to the fourth sentence of Section 3.03(b) and the
second sentence of Section 3.03(c), to the payment of the Dividend in the full
amount of such remaining balance.  The Company shall be deemed to have applied
Transfer Proceeds in accordance with (x) clause (i) or clause (ii) of this
Section 3.03(a) in the event that the Company shall have within 60 days of a
Disposition issued an irrevocable notice of redemption with respect to the
Class 6 Interest Debentures or the Series B Preference Stock and shall have
paid the redemption price therefor within 60 days of such notice relating to
the Class 6 Interest Debentures or within 90 days of such notice relating to
the Series B Preference Stock, and (y) clause (i) of this Section 3.03(a), in
the event that there is no June 30 or December 31 (a "Permitted Date") that is
at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, following the receipt by the
Company of the Proceeds, if the Board of Directors shall have authorized and
directed within 60 days following a Disposition that such redemption be
effected on the Permitted Date next following the thirty-first day following
the receipt by the Company of the Proceeds and the Company shall have paid the
redemption price therefor on such Permitted Date.  In the event that the
Company should fail to apply Transfer Proceeds in accordance with clause (i) or
clause (ii) of this Section 3.03(a), any amount of Trans-

fer Proceeds reserved or deducted for such purpose from the amount of the
Dividend shall promptly be declared and paid as a further dividend on, or other
payment with respect to, the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
subject to the fourth sentence of Section 3.03(b) and the second sentence of
Section 3.03(c).  The Company shall not, without the express prior written
consent of the Trust, effect any Disposition pursuant to which the Company
receives any consideration other than cash payable in full upon consummation
thereof.

                          (b)  The Company shall, subject to the fourth
sentence of this Section 3.03(b), declare the Dividend within 46 days following
the Company's receipt of the Proceeds (the date of such declaration being
referred to herein as the "Declaration Date").  On the Declaration Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Trust written notice of the declaration of the
Dividend and shall make a public announcement in accordance with applicable
law, regulations and the rules of any securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed or traded, stating that the Dividend has been declared and
announcing the Record Date and the payment date with respect to the Dividend.
The record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the Dividend
(the "Record Date") shall be not less than five days following receipt by the
Trust of written notice of the declaration but in no event more than 10 days
following the Declaration Date (or such greater minimum number of days
following the Declaration Date as may then be required pursuant to applicable
laws and regulations and the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common
Stock is listed or traded).  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company's obligation to declare the Dividend shall be subject to
the satisfaction, or the waiver by the Company, of each of the following
conditions precedent at the time of the declaration of the Dividend:

                                  (i)  the Company shall have received with
                 respect to the Dividend all necessary licenses, permits,
                 consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders
                 of Governmental Agencies (if any) becoming necessary after the
                 date hereof, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company;

                                  (ii)  the Company shall have received an
                 opinion of counsel substantially to the effect that the
                 declaration and payment of the Dividend are lawful under the
                 Delaware General Corporation Law, which opinion shall be in
                 form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board;

                                  (iii)  the Company shall be solvent and have
                 reasonably adequate capital under applicable law and if
                 requested by the Board, shall have received an opinion from
                 American Appraisal Associates, pursuant to the

                 engagement letter dated August 16, 1995 and executed by the
                 Company on August 22, 1995, which opinion shall be reasonably
                 satisfactory to the Board.

                                  (iv)  no suit, action or other proceeding by
                 any Governmental Agency shall be pending before any tribunal
                 of competent authority which challenges the validity or
                 legality of the Dividend that has a reasonable likelihood of
                 success as determined by Independent counsel selected by the
                 Company and the Trust;

                                  (v)  there shall not be any effective
                 injunction, writ, preliminary restraining order or any order
                 of any nature issued by a court of competent jurisdiction
                 directing that the payment of the Dividend not be made or
                 imposing any conditions on the payment unless the consequences
                 to the Company of failing to comply with such injunction,
                 writ, preliminary restraining order or other order or for
                 being subject to such conditions would not subject the Company
                 to substantial cost or liability and would not subject any
                 employee, officer, director or agent of the Company to any
                 civil or criminal liability (for purposes hereof,
                 "substantial" shall mean actual or probable cost, liability or
                 penalty (including any prepayment penalties) in excess of
                 $250,000 or any obligations to prepay principal in excess of
                 $20,000,000);

                                  (vi)  the Order shall be in full force and 
                 effect;

                                  (vii)  the Trust Agreement Amendment shall
                 have been executed and delivered, and shall be in full force
                 and effect; and

                                  (viii)  all conditions to the Closing set
                 forth in Sections 4.02 and 4.03 (other than Section
                 4.03(e)(ii)) shall have been satisfied, or shall have been
                 waived by the party entitled to waive such conditions;
                 provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this
                 Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not have the
                 power to waive the condition precedent set forth in this
                 paragraph (viii) without the express prior written consent of
                 the Trust.

                          (c)  The Company shall, following the occurrence of
the Declaration Date and subject to the immediately following sentence, pay the
Dividend within 4 business days after the Record Date and no later than 60 days
following the receipt by the Company of the Proceeds.  Notwithstanding Section
3.03(a) or the first sentence of this Section 3.03(c), the Company's obligation
hereunder to pay the Dividend shall be subject to the satis-





                                       9

faction, or the waiver by the Company, of the condition precedent set forth in
Section 3.03(b)(v) at the time of payment of the Dividend; it being understood
that the foregoing shall not affect any rights (other than under this
Agreement) that the Trust may have in its capacity as a stockholder of Manville
with respect to the Dividend.

                          (d)  At least 5 days prior to any date on which the
Company expects the Board to vote on the declaration of the Dividend, the
Company shall deliver to the Trust a certificate signed by the chief executive
officer, chief financial officer or controller of the Company setting forth in
reasonable detail the computation of (x) the amount of Transfer Proceeds, (y)
the amount applied (or, if intended to be so applied after the date of such
certificate, expected to be applied) in accordance with Sections 3.03(a)(i) and
(ii) and (z) the remainder of (x) minus (y), certifying that, to the best of
such person's knowledge, the computations are true and accurate in all material
respects and made in accordance with Section 3.03(a).

                          (e)  The Trust hereby consents to the application of
Transfer Proceeds as provided in Sections 3.03(a)(i) and (ii) (subject to
approval of the Board, by vote of a majority of the Non-Trust Directors, as set
forth in Section 3.03(a)) and will evidence such consent in such appropriate
instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

                 SECTION 3.04.  Computations.  In the event the Trust takes
exception to the computation by the Company of any amount under this Agreement,
the procedures set forth in Section 4.03 of the Supplemental Agreement (which
are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis) shall be followed in
resolving any dispute relating to the computation of such amount.

on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, (ii) call a special meeting of
its common stockholders for the purpose of voting upon such approval, (iii) use
efforts consistent with past practice to solicit proxies from its common
stockholders other than the Trust, and (iv) to the extent consistent with the
exercise by the Board of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, recommend
in its proxy solicitation material that stockholders vote in favor of such
approval.

                 SECTION 6.03.  Termination.  If the Closing Date shall not
have occurred on or prior to the later of (A) January 31, 1997, or (B) the
first anniversary of the date on which the Company receives the Proceeds of a
Disposition if such Disposition shall have been consummated on or prior to
January 31, 1997, then either party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the other party hereto.
If the Order is denied by the Court upon the Trust's application therefor in
accordance with Section 4.02(c), or if, on or prior to the Closing Date, the
Order is vacated, reversed, modified or amended, in whole or in part, so as to
eliminate or materially limit the Court's approval of the Trust's execution and
performance of this Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Supplemental
Agreement, the Trust Agreement Amendment or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, either party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement, by giving written notice of termination to the other party.  No
termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall in any way
relieve either party of liability for any willful breach of any of the
provisions of this Agreement prior to termination hereof.

                 SECTION 6.04.  Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement may be
modified, supplemented or amended at any time and from time to time only by a
writing signed by each party hereto.  Any waiver or consent granted in respect
of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be effective only if given in
a writing signed by the party giving same and expressly stating that it is a
waiver or consent, and any such waiver or consent shall constitute a waiver or
consent only of the specific provision(s) and for the specific purpose(s) set
forth therein.

                 SECTION 6.05.  Notices.  All notices, requests and other

be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original,
with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same

matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings,
oral and written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

                 SECTION 6.07.  Severability.  Should any provision in this
Agreement be determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such determination shall in no way limit or affect the validity or

                 SECTION 6.08.  Headings.  The headings used in this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and neither constitute a portion of this
Agreement nor in any manner affect the construction of the provisions of this
Agreement.

                 SECTION 6.09.  Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns except that neither the Company nor

obligations under this Agreement.

                 SECTION 6.10.  Survival of Representations and Warranties.
The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing Date for a period of 18 months from the Closing Date.

                 SECTION 6.11.  Expenses.  All costs and expenses incurred in
connection with this Agreement, including without limitation all brokers' fees,
investment banking fees and legal fees, shall be paid by the party incurring

any Person.

                 SECTION 6.12.  Specific Performance.  Each of the Company and
the Trust agrees that the other party would be irreparably damaged if for any

obligations under this Agreement and that such other party would not have an
adequate





                                       18
<PAGE>   19
remedy at law for money damages in such event.  Accordingly, the Company and
the Trust each agrees that the other party shall, to the maximum extent
permitted, be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other relief
to enforce the performance of this Agreement.  This provision is without
prejudice to any other rights that the Company or the Trust may have against
the other party for any failure of such other party to perform its obligations
hereunder.

                 SECTION 6.13.  Third Parties.  This Agreement constitutes an
agreement solely between the parties hereto, and is not intended to and shall
not confer any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities, legal or
equitable, on any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective
successors or assigns, or otherwise constitute any Person a third-party
beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement.

                 SECTION 6.14.  Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law principles applied in
such jurisdiction.  The Company and the Trust hereby submit to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each of the Company
and the Trust irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

                 (a)  [Reserved]

                 (b)  The Company shall pay to the Trust for each Fiscal
Year from and including the Fiscal Year in which this Agreement enters into
effect so long as the Trust exists, on or before April 30 of the next Fiscal
Year, an amount equal to the Insurance Indemnification Amount for such Fiscal
Year, provided that the payment under this Section 2.03 with respect to any
Fiscal Year shall not exceed an amount equal to 30% of Profits for such Fiscal
Year.

                 2.04.  Reimbursement Obligations.  (a)  The Trust shall
indemnify the Company in respect of all costs, expenses, losses and damages
(including, except as limited by Paragraph (c) below, fees and expenses of
counsel and other litigation and settlement costs) when and as incurred by the
Company in connection with any Trust Claim or Indemnification Liability
asserted against the Company, provided that the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause such Trust Claim or Indemnification Liability to be redirected
against the Trust, as contemplated by and in accordance with the Plan and the
Trust Agreement.

                 (b)  The Company shall indemnify the Trust in respect of all
costs, expenses, losses and damages (including, except as limited by Paragraph
(c) below, fees and expenses of counsel and other litigation and settlement
costs) when and as incurred by the Trust in connection with any obligations or
liabilities of the Debtors not assumed by the Trust pursuant to the Trust
Agreement, any obligations or liabilities imposed upon the Company by the terms

                 (c)  Each party indemnified under the provisions of this
Section 2.04, upon receipt of written notice of any claim or the service of
summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action instituted against
it, in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of any indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 2.04, shall promptly give written notice of
such claim, or the commencement of such action, or threat thereof, to the party
from whom indemnity shall be sought hereunder.  Such indemnifying party shall
be entitled at its own expense to participate in the defense of such claim or
action, or, if it shall elect, to assume such defense, in which event (i) such





                                       2
<PAGE>   26
                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party, which
counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party against whom such claim
is asserted or who is the defendant in such action, and (ii) such indemnified
party may retain additional counsel provided that such indemnified party shall
bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it.  If the
indemnifying party shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or
action, such indemnifying party will reimburse such indemnified party for the
reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by it, and shall be bound
by the results obtained by the indemnified party; provided that no such claim
or action shall be settled without the written consent of the indemnifying
party.

                 (a)  Sales Other than by Tender Offer.  Prior to any sale by
the Trust (other than pursuant to a Tender Offer or pursuant to an underwritten
public offering) of any shares of Manville Common Stock to a Person or "group"
(as defined in Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act) which, to the knowledge of
the Trust, owns, or will own as a result of such purchase, of record or
beneficially, more than 15% of the shares of Manville Common Stock then
outstanding, the Trust shall give the Company (or its designee(s)) the
opportunity to purchase such shares in the following manner:

                          (i)  The Trust shall give written notice (the
         "Offering Notice") to the Company of such proposed sale, specifying
         the number of shares proposed to be sold, the price per share, the
         identity of the purchaser and the form of the transaction.

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

                          (ii)  The Company shall have the right, exercisable
         by written notice (the "Offering Exercise Notice") to the Trust given
         within 30 Business Days after the date the Offering Notice is given,
         to purchase (or to cause its designee(s) to purchase) all, but not
         less than all, of the shares specified in such Offering Notice for
         cash at the price set forth therein.

                          (iii)  The price per share to be paid by the Company
         (or its designee(s)) (the "Purchase Price") in a purchase pursuant to
         an Offering Exercise Notice shall be the third party buyer's price, or
         shall be determined in the manner the third party buyer's price was to
         be determined.

                          (iv)  Upon delivery of the Offering Exercise Notice
         (and notwithstanding any designation by the Company of a third person
         as purchaser), the Company shall be legally obligated to consummate
         the purchase contemplated thereby, and shall be liable in damages to
         the Trust if the purchase is not consummated for any reason other than
         the fault of the Trust.  The closing of the purchase of the shares of
         Manville Common Stock pursuant to an Offering Exercise Notice shall
         take place on a date designated by the Company, which date shall not
         be later than seven Business Days after the date the Offering Exercise
         Notice is given.  At such closing, an aggregate amount equal to the
         Purchase Price times the number of shares proposed to be sold shall be
         paid by the Company to the Trust and the certificate or certificates
         representing such shares, accompanied by stock powers duly executed in
         blank or duly executed instruments of transfer and any other documents
         that are necessary to transfer good and marketable title to such
         shares, shall be delivered by the Trust to the Company (or its
         designee(s)).

                          (v)  If the Company does not timely give the Offering
         Exercise Notice hereunder, the shares as to which the Offering Notice
         was given may be sold in the transaction described in such Offering
         Notice within 30 days after the expiration of the Company's right to
         give the Offering Exercise Notice.

                 (b)  Tender Offers.  The Trust may tender shares of Manville
Common Stock into any Tender Offer provided that the Trust shall not tender
shares of Manville Common Stock prior to the date by which the Company is
required to take a position with





                                       4
<PAGE>   28
                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

respect to the Tender Offer pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act (or
any successor provision), and provided, further, that prior to any tender of
shares by the Trust pursuant to any Tender Offer which the Company has opposed
in a Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Commission and in which, to the knowledge of
the Trust, the offeror, together with any "group" (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)
under the Exchange Act) of which such offeror is a member, owns, or would own
if the offeror purchased the maximum number of shares sought pursuant to the
Tender Offer, of record or beneficially, more than 15% of the shares of
Manville Common Stock then outstanding, the Trust shall give the Company (or
its designee(s)) the opportunity to purchase such shares in the following
manner:

                          (i)  Prior to tendering any shares of Manville Common
         Stock pursuant to any such Tender Offer, the Trust shall give written
         notice (the "Tender Notice") to the Company of its intention to
         tender, specifying the number of shares proposed to be tendered (the
         "Tendered Shares").  A Tender Notice shall be deemed to relate to any
         Tender Offer outstanding at the time such Tender Notice is given,
         provided that a Tender Notice shall not be deemed to relate to a
         Tender Offer outstanding at the time the Tender Notice is given if (x)
         the Tender Notice was given less than five Business Days prior to the
         then scheduled expiration of such Tender Offer and (y) such scheduled
         expiration was not subsequently changed to a time more than five
         Business Days after the time when the Tender Notice was given.  A
         Tender Notice shall also be deemed to relate to any Tender Offer not
         outstanding at the time such Tender Notice is given if such Tender
         Offer is outstanding at any time prior to the Cutoff Time (as
         hereinafter defined) of any other Tender Offer to which the Tender
         Notice relates.  The "Cutoff Time" for any Tender Offer shall mean the
         earlier of (x) two Business Days prior to the earliest expiration of
         such Tender Offer (the term "expiration" as used herein shall not be
         deemed to include termination by the offeror prior to the scheduled
         expiration) and (y) two Business Days prior to the end of any
         proration period relating to such Tender Offer (provided that this
         Clause (y) shall only apply if the Tender Notice was given at least
         five Business Days prior to the end of such proration period).  If,
         after giving a Tender Notice, the Trust determines not to tender into
         any Tender Offer to which the Tender Notice relates (which the Trust
         may do at any time prior to receipt of a Tender Exer-





                                       5

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

         cise Notice, as hereinafter contemplated), the Trust shall promptly
         advise the Company thereof by giving written notice rescinding such
         Tender Notice.

                          (ii)  The Company shall have the right, exercisable
         by written notice to the Trust (the "Tender Exercise Notice") actually
         received by the Trust prior to the earliest Cutoff Time of any Tender
         Offer to which the Tender Notice relates (the "Tender Exercise
         Deadline"), to purchase (or to cause its designee(s) to purchase) all,
         but not less than all, of the Tendered Shares specified in such Tender
         Notice, for cash, at the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined with
         respect to this Section 3.03(b)).  No extension of the expiration date
         or proration period under any Tender Offer, which extension occurs
         subsequent to the Tender Exercise Deadline, shall be deemed to
         reinstate or extend beyond the Tender Exercise Deadline the Company's
         right to give a valid Tender Exercise Notice under this Section
         3.03(b).  The "Purchase Price" as used in this Section 3.03(b) shall
         mean the highest price per share of Manville Common Stock paid or
         payable (or if no price was paid or payable, the highest price per
         share offered) at any time by any offeror pursuant to any Tender Offer
         to which the Tender Notice relates.

                          (iii)  Upon delivery of the Tender Exercise Notice
         (and notwithstanding any designation by the Company of a third party
         as purchaser), the Company shall be legally obligated to consummate
         the purchase contemplated thereby and shall be liable in damages to
         the Trust if for any reason the purchase is not consummated.  An
         aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price times the number of
         Tendered Shares shall be paid by the Company to the Trust not more
         than ten Business Days after the earlier of the date on which (x) all
         Tender Offers to which the Tender Notice relates have expired or been
         terminated without any shares of Manville Common Stock being purchased
         thereunder and (y) shares of Manville Common Stock are first purchased
         by any offeror pursuant to a Tender Offer to which the Tender Notice
         relates.  The certificate or certificates representing the Tendered
         Shares, accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank or duly
         executed instruments of transfer and any other documents that are
         necessary to transfer good and marketable title to such Tendered
         Shares, shall promptly be delivered by the Trust to the Company (or
         its de-





                                       6

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

         signee(s)) upon the Trust's receipt of such payment.  If any Tender
         Offer to which the Tender Notice relates remains outstanding at the
         date such payment is to be made by the Company to the Trust, the
         amount of such payment shall be calculated as though each such
         outstanding Tender Offer would expire without any increase in the
         price being offered thereunder.  If at any time shares of Manville
         Common Stock are purchased by any offeror pursuant to any Tender Offer
         to which the Tender Notice relates at a price per share which exceeds
         the per share amount previously paid by the Company to the Trust with
         respect to Tendered Shares, the Company shall pay to the Trust within
         three Business Days after such higher price is paid or becomes payable
         an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of Tendered
         Shares times such excess.

                          (iv)  If the Company does not give a Tender Exercise
         Notice prior to the Tender Exercise Deadline, the Tendered Shares may
         be sold to any offeror pursuant to any Tender Offer to which the
         Tender Notice relates, provided that if such Tendered Shares are not
         tendered pursuant to any such Tender Offer, the Company shall again
         have a right of first refusal under the terms of this Section 3.03(b)
         with respect to any shares of Manville Common Stock subsequently
         proposed to be tendered by the Trust pursuant to any other Tender
         Offer.

                 (c)  Purchase Price.  For purposes of this Section 3.03, if
the consideration paid or offered by any third party consists of all cash, the
price paid or offered for purposes of determining the Purchase Price shall be
the amount of the cash paid or offered.  If the consideration paid or offered
by any third party consists in whole or in part of property (including debt
instruments) other than cash, the price paid or offered for purposes of
determining the Purchase Price shall be the amount of cash paid or offered, if
any, plus the value of the property other than cash.  If the Trust has a choice
between cash and property other than cash, the price paid or offered for
purposes of determining the Purchase Price shall be the higher of the cash or
the value of such property.  The value of any property other than cash will be
determined as promptly as practicable by agreement between a nationally
recognized investment banker selected by the Company and a nationally
recognized investment banker selected by the Trust (or if such investment
bankers have not agreed upon a value for such property within three Business





                                       7
<PAGE>   31
                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

Days after appointment, by a third nationally recognized investment banker
selected by the investment bankers for the Trust and the Company, or if such
investment bankers cannot agree on a third investment banker, by an investment
banker selected by the President of the Securities Industry Association).  If
either the Trust or the Company fails to appoint an investment banker within
two Business Days after the other's request, the investment banker appointed by
the other shall make the determinations contemplated by this Section 3.03(c) in
its sole professional judgment.  The value of any securities shall be the fair
market value of such securities determined on a fully distributed basis, and
the value of any property other than cash that does not consist of securities
shall be the fair market value of such property.  In the event a determination
of the value of property other than cash under this Section 3.03(c), is
required, the payment provided for in Section 3.03(a) or (b) shall initially be
made with respect to any cash that had been offered to the Trust and any
property to the extent to which its value has been agreed upon.  Any additional
payment due to the Trust on account of property other than cash for which a
value determination is required hereunder shall be made immediately following,
and in accordance with, such value determination.

                 3.04.  Registration Rights.

                 (a)  Shelf Registration.  Whenever, from time to time, the
Trust shall so request in writing and to the extent permitted by law, the
Company shall use its best efforts to register all shares of Manville Common
Stock held by the Trust (or a portion of such shares, if so requested by the
Trust) under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or an equivalent or successor
provision) (a "Shelf Registration") and shall keep such registration in effect
at all times that the Trust holds any shares of Manville Common Stock or until
the Trust notifies the Company in writing that the registration no longer need
remain effective. If either the Trust or the Company deems it necessary to
obtain a determination from the appropriate regulatory authorities that a Shelf
Registration is permitted by law, the Company shall use its best efforts, in
cooperation with the Trust, to obtain such a determination.

                 (b)  Registration Upon Request.  If at any time a Shelf
Registration is not in effect with respect to all shares of Manville Common
Stock issued directly to the Trust by Manville and held at such time by the
Trust, and the Trust shall request





                                       8
<PAGE>   32
                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

in writing that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of
any shares of Manville Common Stock held by it (which request shall specify the
aggregate number of shares intended to be offered and sold by the Trust, shall
describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale thereof and shall
contain an undertaking by the Trust to cooperate with the Company in order to
permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and to obtain acceleration of the
effective date of the registration statement), the Company shall, as
expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to effect the registration of
the shares which the Trust has requested it to register on an appropriate form
under the Securities Act and to keep such registration in effect for a period
of nine months or for such lesser period as shall be required to complete the
distribution of all the shares covered thereby.  The registration rights
contemplated by this Section 3.04(b) may be exercised from time to time in the
discretion of the Trust with respect to all or any part of the shares of
Manville Common Stock that the Trust is permitted under this Agreement to sell
at any such time, provided that the Company shall have no obligation to file a
registration statement in any January or earlier than two months after the date
on which any other registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) or
(b) of this Agreement ceases to be in effect.

                 (c)  Registration Procedures.  At any time that the Company is
obligated to use its best efforts to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of any shares of Manville Common Stock held by the Trust
pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) or (b), the Company shall, as expeditiously as
possible:

                          (i)  prepare and file with the Commission a
         registration statement on the appropriate form with respect to such
         shares and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement
         to become effective;

                          (ii)  before filing a registration statement or
         prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the
         Trust and its counsel (and to any Person designated by the Trust or
         such counsel) copies of all documents proposed to be filed with the
         Commission, which documents will be subject to the review and comment
         of the Trust and such counsel, and, if requested by such counsel, to
         the insertion of material that, in the judgment of such counsel,
         should be

         included (subject, however, to the reasonable approval of counsel to 
         the Company);

                          (iii)  take such action (including filing with the
         Commission amendments and supplements to the registration statement
         and the prospectus used in connection therewith) as may be necessary
         to keep such registration statement effective for the period of time
         required under Section 3.04(a) or (b);

                          (iv)  furnish to the Trust and each underwriter of
         the shares being sold such number of copies of (w) such registration
         statement (including all exhibits thereto), (x) each amendment and
         supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), (y)
         the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
         preliminary prospectus) and (z) such other documents, as the Trust and
         each such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate
         the distribution of such shares;

                          (v)  promptly deliver to the Trust, each managing
         underwriter of the shares, and their respective counsel copies of all
         correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or
         auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission
         with respect to any such registration statement;

                          (vi)  furnish, at the request of the Trust, on each
         date that such shares are delivered to underwriters for sale pursuant
         to such registration statement or, if such shares are not being sold
         through underwriters, on each date the registration statement with
         respect to such shares becomes effective (or, if the shares are
         registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration, on the date such Shelf
         Registration becomes effective and on each date a post-effective
         amendment of such Shelf Registration becomes effective) (x) an
         opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the
         purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any,
         and to the Trust, substantially to the effect that (A) the
         registration statement, related prospectus, and each amendment or
         supplement thereto (including documents incorporated by reference
         therein), complied, when declared effective with respect to
         registration statements and otherwise when filed, as to form in all
         material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the





                                       10
<PAGE>   34
                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

         Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and
         regulations of the Commission thereunder (except that such counsel
         need express no opinion as to the financial statements and other
         financial data contained therein), (B) such counsel believes that the
         registration statement (and any amendment thereto or document
         incorporated by reference therein), at the time such registration
         statement became effective (or in the case of an amendment or document
         incorporated by reference, at the time it was filed), did not contain
         any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
         fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein not misleading and that the prospectus as amended or
         supplemented, if applicable (including documents incorporated by
         reference therein), on the date of such opinion, does not contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that
         such counsel need express no belief as to the financial statements and
         other financial data contained in the registration statement or the
         prospectus), (C) all of the shares of Manville Common Stock then
         outstanding have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully
         paid and nonassessable, and (D) such other legal matters with respect
         to the registration statement and the Company as the underwriters, if
         any, or the Trust may reasonably request and (y) a letter, dated such
         date, from the Independent certified public accountants of the
         Company, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Trust,
         stating that they are "independent" certified public accountants
         within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the financial
         statements and other financial data of the Company included in the
         registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or
         supplement thereto (including, in each case, documents incorporated by
         reference therein), comply as to form in all material respects with
         the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act; such
         letter from the accountants shall additionally cover such other
         financial matters (including information as to the period ending not
         more than five Business Days prior to the date of such letter) with
         respect to the registration statement that is of the type ordinarily
         included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters as the
         underwriters, if any, or the Trust may reasonably request;

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

                          (vii)  use its best efforts to register or qualify
         the shares covered by such registration statement under the securities
         or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
         Trust shall reasonably request, considering the nature and size of the
         offering, and do any and all other acts and things which may be
         necessary or desirable to enable the Trust and any underwriter of such
         shares to consummate the public sale or other disposition in each such
         jurisdiction of such shares, provided that in connection therewith the
         Company shall not be required to file a general consent to service of
         process in any jurisdiction or to qualify to do business in any
         jurisdiction where it is not then qualified;

                          (viii)  notify the Trust and any underwriter of such
         shares, at any time when a prospectus relating to such shares is
         required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of
         any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
         registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact
         or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly
         prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
         thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus
         will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
         state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading;

                          (ix)  enter into such customary agreements (including
         an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other
         customary actions as the Trust or the underwriters of such shares
         reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
         of the shares;

                          (x)  make available, upon reasonable notice and
         during business hours, for inspection by the Trust, any underwriter
         participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration
         statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
         Trust or any such underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all
         financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
         properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records") as shall be
         reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
         responsibility, and cause the Company and its officers,





                                       12

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

         directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
         by any such Inspector, in connection with such registration statement;
         provided that none of such Records shall be photocopied by the
         Inspectors and any such inspection shall be conducted in a manner that
         does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of
         the Company.  Records which the Company determines, in good faith, to
         be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors in writing are
         confidential shall not be disclosed to the Inspectors and only may be
         reviewed by counsel for the Trust and for any underwriter;

                          (xi)  notify the Trust of any stop order issued or,
         to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission and take
         all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop
         order or to remove it if entered;

                          (xii)  otherwise use its best efforts to comply with
         all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission; and

                          (xiii) if the Trust has requested registration of
         shares pursuant to Section 3.04(b), notify the PD Trust that the Trust
         has requested a registration of shares of Manville Common Stock
         pursuant to this Agreement and give the PD Trust an opportunity to
         participate in such registration.

                 The Company may request that the Trust furnish to the Company
information regarding the Trust and the disposition of the Trust's shares, and
the Trust agrees to furnish such information to the Company and any other
information as the Company may reasonably request.

                 The Trust agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of any event of the kind described in Paragraph (viii) of this Section
3.04(c), the Trust will forthwith discontinue distribution of shares of
Manville Common Stock pursuant to the registration statement covering such
shares until the Trust's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by such Paragraph.  If the Company shall give any such
notice, the period stated in Section 3.04(b) during which the Company must keep
a registration statement in effect, if applicable, shall be extended by the
number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of
such notice

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

pursuant to Paragraph (viii) of this Section 3.04(c) to and including the date
when the Trust shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Paragraph (viii) of this Section 3.04(c).

                 If any such registration statement refers to the Trust by name
or otherwise as the holder of any shares of Manville Common Stock, then the
Trust shall have the right to require the insertion therein of language, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trust and the Company, to the effect
that the holding by the Trust of such shares is not to be construed as a
recommendation by the Trust or any of the Trustees of the investment quality of
the shares covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that the Trust
will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company.

                 (d)  Registration Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay all
costs and expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section
3.04 (whether or not any such registration shall become effective), including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of
compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky
qualifications of the shares), printing and duplicating expenses, messenger and
delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all
independent certified public accountants (including the expenses of any annual
audit, special audit or "cold comfort" letters required by or incident to such
performance), securities acts liability insurance (if the Company elects to
obtain such insurance), the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts
retained for the Company in connection with such registration and fees and
expenses of other Persons retained by the Company; provided that costs and
expenses to be paid by the Company shall not include fees and expenses of
counsel retained by the Trust and other out-of-pocket expenses of the Trust
(and any persons retained by the Trust to act as Inspectors) incurred in
connection with any registration and any underwriting discounts or commissions
attributable to the sale of the Trust's shares of Manville Common Stock.

                 (e)  Indemnification.

                      (i)  In each case of a registration of shares of
         Manville Common Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this
         Section 3.04, the Company will indemnify and hold harm-





                                       14

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

         less the Trust, each Trustee, each officer of the Trust, each
         underwriter for the Trust (as defined in the Securities Act) and each
         other Person, if any, who controls the Trust or any such underwriter
         within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and
         against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including
         the fees and expenses of counsel in connection with any governmental
         or regulatory investigation or proceeding), caused by an untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
         any registration statement under which such shares of Manville Common
         Stock were registered under the Securities Act and/or under the
         securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions in the United States,
         any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein or any
         amendment or supplement thereto (including, in each case, documents
         incorporated by reference therein), or caused by any omission or
         alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
         stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading, except that the Company shall not be liable to indemnify a
         party seeking indemnification insofar as such losses, claims, damages
         or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or
         alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating
         to the party seeking indemnification and furnished to the Company in
         writing by such party expressly for use therein; provided that the
         foregoing indemnification with respect to a preliminary prospectus as
         then amended or supplemented shall not inure to the benefit of any
         underwriter (or to the benefit of any Person controlling such
         underwriter) from whom the Person asserting any such losses, claims,
         damages or liabilities purchased shares of Manville Common Stock if a
         copy of the final prospectus as then amended or supplemented had not
         been sent or given to such Person at or prior to written confirmation
         of the sale of such shares to such Person and the untrue statement or
         omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus
         was corrected in the final prospectus as then amended or supplemented.

                      (ii)  In each case of a registration of shares of
         Manville Common Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this
         Section 3.04, the Trust will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
         its directors, its officers who sign the registration statement and
         each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
         the Securities Act or the





                                       15

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

         Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
         Company to the Trust, but only with reference to information relating
         to the Trust and furnished to the Company in writing by the Trust
         expressly for use in the registration statement, any prospectus or
         preliminary prospectus contained therein or any amendment or
         supplement thereto.  The Trust will use best efforts to cause any
         underwriters of shares of Manville Common Stock to be sold by the
         Trust to indemnify the Company on the same terms as the Trust agrees
         to indemnify the Company, but only with reference to information
         relating to such underwriters.

                      (iii)  In case any proceeding (including any
         governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person
         in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section
         3.04, such Person (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the
         Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "Indemnifying
         Party") in writing and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the
         Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
         Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others
         the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay
         the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.
         In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to
         retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
         shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (x) the
         Indemnifying Party has agreed to the retention of such counsel at its
         expense or (y) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
         impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the
         Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same
         counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
         interests between them.  It is understood that the Indemnifying Party
         shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
         the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more
         than one separate firm qualified in such jurisdiction to act as
         counsel for all such Indemnified Parties, except that, if the Company
         is the Indemnifying Party, it shall be responsible for up to two such
         firms, one for the Trust (and all of its affiliated Indemnified
         Parties) and one for all of the underwriters as a group (and all of
         their affiliated Indemnified Parties).  Such firm shall be approved as
         satisfactory in writing by the Trust in the case of parties
         indemnified pursuant to Paragraph (i) of





                                       16
<PAGE>   40
                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

         Section 3.04(e) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified
         pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of Section 3.04(e).  The Indemnifying Party
         shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
         without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if
         there be a final, nonappealable judgment for the plaintiff, the
         Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and
         against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
         judgment.

                      (iv)  The indemnification of any underwriter pursuant
         to Paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 3.04(e) shall be on such other
         terms and conditions as are at the time customary and reasonably
         required by underwriters in public offerings, including providing for
         contribution in the event indemnification provided in this Section
         3.04 is unavailable or insufficient.

contains provisions which would (A) impair or otherwise limit the right of the
Trust or any transferee of the Trust to vote its shares of Manville Common
Stock or (B) impose any penalty on the Company or, as a stockholder of the
Company, on the Trust or any transferee of the Trust, upon a change in control
of the Company.

                 (s)  Limitation on Liens.  Until the date on which the Second
Bond is paid, prepaid or repurchased in full, at which time the provisions of
this Section 4.02(s) shall automatically cease to have any force or effect, the
Company shall not secure, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to
secure, the Class 6 Interest Debentures by any mortgage, pledge, charge, lien,
security interest or other encumbrance upon any of the present or future
revenues or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries without at the same time
equally and ratably securing the Second Bond so as to rank pari passu with the
Class 6 Interest Debentures.

                 (t)  Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.  Until the
date on which the Second Bond is paid, prepaid or repurchased in full, the
Company's Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined below) at the
end of each quarterly fiscal period of each Fiscal Year shall not be less than
$150,000,000.  "Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth" of the Company, at
the end of a quarterly fiscal period of a Fiscal Year, means total
stockholders' equity of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of
such date determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, less amounts (net of applicable deferred taxes
relating to such amounts) attributable to unamortized deferred charges,
unamortized debt discount and expense, goodwill, patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights, franchises, licenses and similar rights,
organization, reorganization or developmental expenses, increases in the book
value of any assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as a
result of any revaluation of such assets (other than any such increases result-

ing from regular periodic revaluations required under generally accepted
accounting principles) and other intangible items; it being understood that (x)
deferred net tax assets to the extent determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements for such quarterly fiscal period, shall not be deducted in
determining Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth and (y) assets relating to
the Company's pension plans shall be deducted, net of applicable deferred taxes
relating to such assets, in determining Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net
Worth.

                 4.03.  Computation Dispute Resolution.  The Company's
computations of Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth made pursuant to
Section 4.02(t) shall be deemed to be accepted by the Trust and shall be
conclusive for the purposes of this Agreement and the Second Bond unless the
Trust, within 20 Business Days after the date on which the computation in
question was delivered to the Trust and the work sheets and other documents
prepared in connection therewith made available for inspection by or delivered
to the Trust, shall have delivered a written notice to the Company stating each
and every item to which it takes exception as not being computed in accordance
herewith or as having computation errors, specifying in detail the nature and
extent of any such exception.  In the event that the Trust gives written notice
within such period of any such exception to a computation made pursuant to
Section 4.02(t), then the Company and the Trust, or the Company's accountants
and the Trust's accountants, respectively, shall attempt to resolve all
differences on a mutually acceptable basis.  To the extent that such
differences are not so resolved within ten Business Days after the delivery of
the written exceptions to the disputed computation, the questions giving rise
to such differences shall be submitted as soon as practicable (and, in any
event, not later than 20 Business Days thereafter) to any nationally recognized
firm of Independent certified public accountants acceptable to both the Company
and the Trust (the "Accountants") for final determination.  The Company and the
Trust each shall pay one-half of any fees charged by the Accountants in
connection with any such determination.  Any agreement by the Company and the
Trust or by the Company's accountants and the Trust's accountants, or any
determination by the Accountants as to the proper resolution of any item shall
be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Trust for the purposes
hereof; and the computation of Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth
referred to in Section 4.02(t) as so reconciled shall be deemed to be the
computation made pursuant to

                              SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

Section 4.02(t) for all purposes of this Agreement, the Second Bond, the Plan
and any Schedule, Annex or Exhibit to any of the foregoing.  Payments due under
this Agreement, the Second Bond and the Other Agreements shall be made on the
dates required herein and therein to the extent mandated by those portions of
the computations which are undisputed on such payment dates.  Additional
payments which are mandated by the binding computations reached after dispute
resolution pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be made promptly following such
dispute resolution, with interest on such additional payments from the required
payment date to the actual payment date at a rate of 10% per annum.

other jurisdiction.

                 6.06.  Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Trust nor

                 6.07.  Entire Agreement; No Waiver.  The entire agreement of
the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Second Bond,

                 6.12.  [Reserved]

                 6.13.  Agreements of the Company and the Trust with Respect to
Certain Liens.  For the express benefit of the holders of the Class 6 Notes,
the indenture trustee for the Class 6 Notes, the Class 6 Interest Debentures,

Debt, the Company agrees that it will not grant, and the Trust agrees that it
will not accept, receive or hold any mortgage, pledge, charge, lien, security
interest or other encumbrance securing the Designated Debt to be received by
the Trust under the Plan if any instrument governing or relating to any of the
Designated Debt, the Class 6 Notes or the Class 6 Interest Debentures (i)
prohibits the granting of the same to secure such Designated Debt or (ii)(A)
requires the same to equally and ratably secure any of the Designated Debt, the
Class 6 Notes or the Class 6 Interest Debentures and (B) such requirements for
equal and ratable securing are not complied with.  The Company and the Trust
hereby acknowledge that the indenture trustee for the Class 6 Notes, the
indenture trustee for the Class 6 Interest Debentures, any holder of any Class
6 Notes, Class 6 Interest Debenture or any Designated Debt shall have standing
and power to enforce this Section 6.13.

                 6.14.  Automatic Waivers under the PD Supplemental Agreement.
To the extent the Trust has the exclusive right under Section 6.02 of the PD
Supplemental Agreement to waive compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries
with any of the covenants set forth in Article IV of the PD Supplemental
Agreement, the Trust hereby irrevocably waives such compliance to the extent

         AH Claims means (a) all Claims (under any theory of law, equity or
admiralty) for death, personal injuries or personal damages (whether physical,
emotional or otherwise) to the extent caused or allegedly caused, directly or
indirectly, by exposure to asbestos (alone or as contained in
asbestos-containing products) and arising or allegedly arising, directly or
indirectly, from acts or omissions prior to the Confirmation Date of one or
more of the Debtors or the Canadian Companies including, without limitation,
all Claims for compensatory damages (such as loss of consortium, wrongful
death, survivorship, proximate, consequential, general and special damages) and
punitive damages and (b) all warranty, guarantee, indemnification or
contribution liabilities or obligations of any of the Debtors or Canadian
Companies to any other Person to the extent that such warranties, guarantees,
indemnifications or contribution responsibilities cover claims against such
other Person that would, if such claims had been made directly against any of
the Debtors or Canadian Companies, constitute AH Claims under Clause (a) above.

         With respect to Claims for compensatory damages only, the substantive
law applicable to the settlement or trial of AH Claims against the Claims
Resolution Facility shall be the law which would have been applicable but for
the pendency of the Cases.  In determining the applicable law, it will be
assumed that the action against the Claims Resolution Facility was (1) filed or
commenced (if not actually filed or commenced against any of the Debtors) at
the same time as an action by the Beneficiary asserting a claim that would have
been an AH Claim if asserted against any of the Debtors was filed against any
other Person and (2) tried or settled at the same time as the Beneficiary's
action was tried or settled (if actually tried or settled) with substantially
all defendants thereto, so that the law applicable will be the same as the law
applicable to the action against such other defendants.  If the claim is
against any of the Debtors (or the Claims Resolution Facility) alone, it will
be assumed that the action against the Claims Resolution Facility was filed or
commenced (if not actually filed or commenced against any of the Debtors) at
the earliest time when the cause of action accrued and would have been reached
for trial when a similar action in the same venue on the same calendar would

<PAGE>   4
                                   ARTICLE I

                     Section 1.  Certain Definitions.  Capitalized terms used
but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Merger Agreement.

                     Section 2.  Representations and Warranties of the
Stockholder.  The Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent and the
Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

                     (a)  The Stockholder is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.  The

Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws as currently in effect.

                     (b)  The Stockholder has the requisite corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the

                     (c)  The execution, delivery and performance by the
Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation by the Stockholder of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Stockholder (the "Stockholder's Board") and, except for
obtaining the approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement by the Stockholder's stockholders, no other corporate
proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder and
the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or
the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement.

                     (d)  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by the Stockholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of
this Agreement by Parent and the Purchaser, is a valid and binding obligation
of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its
terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to or limited by (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect,
affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) the effect





                                       2
<PAGE>   5
of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

                     (e)  Neither the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by the Stockholder nor, assuming the receipt of the approval of
the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the
Stockholder's stockholders, the consummation by the Stockholder of the
transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate any provision of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Stockholder; (ii) assuming the
receipt of the approvals described in Schedule 2(e) to this Agreement, conflict
with, result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due
notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of
termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration or to the imposition of
any Lien (as defined in Section 2(g)) on the Shares) under any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, guarantee or
other evidence of indebtedness, lease, license, contract, agreement, plan or
other instrument or obligation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which
it or any of its assets may be bound or (iii) conflict with or violate any Laws
applicable to the Stockholder or any of its properties or assets; except in the
case of clauses (ii) or (iii) for such conflicts, violations, breaches or
defaults which would not individually or in the aggregate be reasonably
expected to prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation by the
Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                     (f)  Except as set forth in Schedule 2(f) to this
Agreement, no filing or registration with, declaration or notification to, or
order, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity or any
other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder or the consummation by the
Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, except (i) applicable
requirements under Competition Laws, (ii) applicable requirements under the
Exchange Act and (iii) such other consents, approvals, orders, authorizations,
notifications, registrations, declarations and filings the failure of which to
be obtained or made individually and in the aggregate would not materially
impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.





                                       3

Except as disclosed in Schedule 2(f) to this Agreement, no filing or
registration with, declaration or notification to, or order, authorization,
consent or approval of, Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust (the "Trust")
or Manville Property Damage Settlement Trust is required in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder or the
Merger Agreement by the Company or the consummation by the Stockholder and the
Company, respectively, of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
The Stockholder is the "ultimate parent entity" of the Company within the
meaning of the HSR Act.

                     (g)  The Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial
owner of 53,399,558 shares of Company Common Stock free and clear of any
mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, rights of others, claim, security interest,
encumbrance, title defect, title retention agreement, voting trust agreement,
interest, option, lien, charge or similar restrictions or limitations (each, a
"Lien") (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise
dispose of the Shares), except as set forth in this Agreement or Schedule 2(e)
to this Agreement.  There are no options or rights to acquire, or any
agreements to which the Stockholder is a party relating to the ownership or
voting of, the Stockholder's Shares, other than this Agreement and the
agreements set forth in Schedule 2(e) to this Agreement.  The Stockholder holds
exclusive power to vote the Shares, subject to the limitations set forth in
this Agreement or Schedule 2(e) to this Agreement.

                     (h)  All agreements, contracts, transfers of assets or
liabilities or other commitments or transactions, whether or not entered into
in the ordinary course of business, to or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Stockholder or any of its affiliates
(other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, are or
have been a party or otherwise bound or affected, that (i) are currently
pending or in effect or (ii) involve continuing liabilities and obligations
that, individually or in the aggregate, have been, are or will be material to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, have either been
disclosed in the Company SEC Reports or are set forth in Schedule 3.23(a) of
the Disclosure Schedule referred to in the Merger Agreement.





                                       4
<PAGE>   7
                     (i)  None of the information provided by the Stockholder
specifically for use in the Schedule 13E-3 will at the time the Schedule 13E-3
or any amendments thereto are filed with the SEC and/or mailed to stockholders
of the Company, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are
made, not misleading.

                     (j)  None of the information provided by the Stockholder
specifically for use in the Offer Documents and any related schedules (and any
amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), mailed to the registered
holders of the Notes of each series, as the case may be, in connection with the
Offers, at the date mailed will contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they are made, not misleading.

                     (k)  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Stockholder (the "Stockholder Common Stock") entitled to vote on the
disposition of the Stockholder Shares pursuant to the Merger at the Stockholder
Special Meeting (as defined in Section 16(b)) is the only vote of any class of
capital stock of the Stockholder that will be required to approve the Merger
and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  Except as set
forth in the preceding sentence, no vote of any class of capital stock of the
Stockholder is required to adopt this Agreement or approve the transactions
contemplated hereby.

                     (l)  Except as set forth in Section 3.16 of the Merger
Agreement, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage,
finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement based upon arrangements
made by or on behalf of the Stockholder or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), that is or will be payable by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

                     (m)  There is no Litigation pending or, to the actual
knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened, against the Stockholder or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or any of
their properties or assets which, individually or in the aggregate, if
determined adversely to the Stockholder or such Subsidiary, would reasonably be
expected to materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement; and neither the Stockholder
nor any of such Subsidiaries is subject to any settlement or similar agreement
with any Governmental Entity, or to any order, judgment, decree, injunction or
award of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator, that individually or in the
aggregate would materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.

                     (n)  The Stockholder has received a copy of a written
consent of the Selected Counsel to the Beneficiaries to the Exchange Agreement,
the Second Amended and Restated Supplemental Agreement and the Ninth Amendment
to the Trust Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby.  Such consent, if not amended, modified or revoked prior to the
Effective Time, would be sufficient to satisfy the condition set forth in
Section 4.02(b) of the Exchange Agreement.

                     (o)  The Stockholder Common Stock is the only class of
capital stock of the Stockholder that will be entitled to vote at the
Stockholder Special Meeting with respect to the disposition of the Shares
pursuant to the Merger and the matters contemplated by this Agreement.  There
are 175,000,000 shares of Stockholder Common Stock authorized, of which not
more than 123,000,000 are outstanding as of the date hereof.  All of the
outstanding shares of Stockholder Common Stock are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                     Section 3.  Representations and Warranties of Parent and
the Purchaser.  Parent and the Purchaser represent and warrant to the
Stockholder, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

                     (a)  Each of Parent and the Purchaser is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware.





                                       6
<PAGE>   9
                     (b)  Each of Parent and the Purchaser has the requisite
corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

                     (c)  The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and
the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and the
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by
the respective Boards of Directors of Parent and the Purchaser and no other
corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or the Purchaser are necessary to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent
or the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                     (d)  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by Parent and the Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder, is a valid and binding
obligation of each of Parent and the Purchaser enforceable against each of them
in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to or
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws, now or hereafter
in effect, affecting creditors' rights generally, and (ii) the effect of
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

                     (e)  Neither the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by Parent and the Purchaser nor the consummation by Parent and
the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate any
provision of the respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws of Parent
or the Purchaser; (ii) conflict with, result in a violation or breach of, or
constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or
give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration)
under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, guarantee or other evidence of indebtedness, license, lease,
contract, agreement, plan or other instrument or obligation to which Parent or
the Purchaser is a party or by which either of them or any of their assets may
be bound or (iii) conflict with or violate any Laws applicable to Parent or
Purchaser or any of their properties or assets; except in the case of clauses
(ii)





                                       7
<PAGE>   10
and (iii) for conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults which would not
individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to prevent or
materially impair or delay the consummation by Parent or the Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                     (f)  At and immediately after the Effective Time, and
after giving effect to the Merger, the Financing and any other transactions
contemplated in connection therewith (and any changes in the Surviving
Corporation's assets and liabilities as a result thereof), the Surviving
Corporation will not (i) be insolvent (either because its financial condition
is such that the sum of its debts is greater than the fair value of its assets
or because the present fair saleable value of its assets will be less than the
amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its debts as they mature),
(ii) have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business or
(iii) have incurred or plan to incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they
mature.

                     (g)  Parent and the Purchaser have been advised as of the
date hereof by representatives of the Company that the members of management of
the Company identified on Schedule 3(g) hereto, solely in their capacity as
such, have reviewed the Company's representations and warranties set forth in
Article III of the Merger Agreement.  Parent and the Purchaser have been
further advised as of the date hereof by representatives of the Company that,
based on such review by management and as of the date hereof, the Company has
no knowledge of (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or
warranty set forth in Article III of the Merger Agreement or (ii) any fact or
circumstance that it believes is reasonably likely to result in a breach of or
inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth in Article III of the
Merger Agreement which, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), would
constitute a failure to satisfy any of the closing conditions set forth in
Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(i) of the Merger Agreement.

                     (h)  None of the information supplied in writing by Parent
or the Purchaser specifically for inclusion in the Stockholder Proxy Statement
(as defined in Section 16(c)) (including any amendments or supplements thereto)
will, at the date mailed to stockholders and at the time of the Stockholder
Special Meeting, contain any untrue





                                       8
<PAGE>   11
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

                     (i)  No filing or registration with, declaration or
notification to, or order, authorization, consent or approval of, any
Governmental Entity or any other Person is required in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent or the
Purchaser or the consummation by Parent or the Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated hereby, except (i) applicable requirements under Competition Laws,
(ii) applicable requirements under the Exchange Act and (iii) such other
consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, notifications, registrations,
declarations and filings the failure of which to be obtained or made
individually and in the aggregate would not materially impair or delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                     (j)  No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to
any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement based upon
arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent and the Purchaser, that is or will
be payable by the Stockholder or, except as set forth in Section 4.8 of the
Merger Agreement following the occurrence of the Effective Time, the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries.


                                   ARTICLE II

                     Section 4.  Voting Agreement.

                     (a)  The Stockholder hereby agrees that from and after the
Approval Date (as defined in Section 8) and until the earliest of (i) the
Effective Time, (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in
accordance with its terms, or (iii) March 31, 1996 (the earliest thereof
referred to herein as the "Expiration Date"), at the Stockholder Special
Meeting, the Stockholder shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the shares of
Company Common Stock it beneficially owns at the time of such vote, including
without limitation the Shares (the "Stockholder Shares"), in favor of the
approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, and approval





                                       9
<PAGE>   12
of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby; provided,
however, that the Stockholder shall not be required to vote, or cause to be
voted, Stockholder Shares pursuant to this Section 4 if the Stockholder's Board
determines in its good faith, reasonable judgment, after consultation with its
counsel, that voting the Stockholder's Shares, as provided in this Section
4(a), could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the Stockholder's
Board's fiduciary duties under applicable law.

                     (b)  The Stockholder hereby agrees that from the date
hereof until the Expiration Date, at any special or annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment or postponement
thereof), or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of the
Company, the Stockholder shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the
Stockholder Shares against (i) any Acquisition Transaction, or (ii) any other
significant proposed corporate action of the Company requiring stockholder
approval that would materially impair or delay the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement or (iii) any
action or agreement that would result in the breach by the Company of Section
5.1 of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that the Stockholder shall be
permitted to vote, or cause to be voted, the Stockholder Shares in favor of any
such action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above if the Stockholder's
Board determines in its good faith, reasonable judgment, after consultation
with its counsel, that voting the Stockholder Shares against such actions
described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above could reasonably be expected to
constitute a breach of the Stockholder's Board's fiduciary duties under
applicable law.

                     Section 5.  Adjustments; Additional Shares.

                     (a)  In the event (i) of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of
capital stock of the Company on, of or affecting the Shares or (ii) the
Stockholder shall become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of
Company Common Stock or other securities entitling the holder thereof to vote
or give consent with respect to the matters set forth in Section 4 hereof, then
the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the shares of capital stock held by
the Stockholder immedi-





                                       10
<PAGE>   13
ately following the effectiveness of the events described in clause (i) or the
Stockholder becoming the beneficial owner thereof, as described in clause (ii),
as though they were Shares hereunder.

                     (b)  The Stockholder hereby agrees, while this Agreement
is in effect, to promptly notify Parent of the number of any new shares of the
Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder, if any, after the date
hereof.

                     Section 6.  Restrictions on Transfer, Etc.  Except as
provided for herein, the Stockholder agrees, from the date hereof until the
Expiration Date, not to (i) tender into any tender or exchange offer or
otherwise sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of,
or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with
respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Stockholder Shares (including, without limitation, through
the disposition or transfer of control of another Person) or (ii) grant any
proxies with respect to the Stockholder Shares, deposit the Stockholder Shares
into a voting trust, enter into a voting agreement with respect to any of the
Stockholder Shares or otherwise restrict the ability of the Stockholder freely
to exercise all voting rights with respect thereto, provided, however, that the
Stockholder may take any action otherwise prohibited by clause (i) or (ii)
above if the Stockholder's Board determines in its good faith, reasonable
judgment, after consultation with its counsel, that not taking any such action
could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the Stockholder's
Board's fiduciary duties under applicable law.

                     Section 7.  No Solicitation.

                     (a)  The Stockholder shall not, from the date hereof until
the Expiration Date, directly or indirectly through its officers, directors,
employees or agents or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney,
accountant or other representative retained by the Stockholder (i) initiate,
solicit or encourage the making of any Acquisition Proposal or (ii) engage in
negotiations or discussions with, or furnish any information or data to, any
third party relating to, or agree to, an Acquisition Proposal (other than the
transactions contemplated





                                       11

by the Merger Agreement).  Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, the Stockholder,
the Stockholder's Board and any of such representatives (i) may participate in
negotiations or discussions (including, as a part thereof, making any
counterproposal) with or furnish information or data to any third party if the
Stockholder's Board determines in its good faith, reasonable judgment, after
consultation with its counsel, that the failure to participate in such
discussions or negotiations or to furnish such information could reasonably be
expected to constitute a breach of the Stockholder's Board's fiduciary duties
under applicable law and (ii) shall be permitted to (x) take and disclose to
the Company's and the Stockholder's stockholders a position with respect to the
Merger or another Acquisition Proposal, or amend or withdraw such position,
pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or (y) make disclosure
to the Company's and the Stockholder's stockholders, in each case if the
Stockholder's Board determines in its good faith, reasonable judgment, after
consultation with its counsel, that the failure to take such action could
reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the Stockholder Board's
fiduciary duties under applicable law.

                     (b)  The Stockholder shall immediately advise Parent in
writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal received by the Stockholder,
and any actions undertaken pursuant to the second sentence of Section 7(a),
specifying the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and
identifying the person making such Acquisition Proposal.  If any such inquiry
or proposal is in writing, the Stockholder shall promptly deliver to Parent a
copy of such inquiry or proposal, unless the Stockholder's Board determines in
its good faith, reasonable judgment, after consultation with its counsel, that
taking such action could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of its
fiduciary duties under applicable law.  The Stockholder shall not release any
third party from its obligations under any existing standstill agreement or
arrangement relating to an Acquisition Transaction unless the Stockholder's
Board determines in its good faith, reasonable judgment, after consultation
with its counsel, that failure to so release could reasonably be expected to
constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

                     (c)  For purposes of this Section 7, the terms
"Acquisition Proposal" and "Acquisition Transaction" shall not refer to a
transaction that solely involves securities or assets of the Stockholder other
than Company Common Stock.

                     Section 8.  Conditions.  The obligation of the Stockholder
to vote the Stockholder Shares as provided in Section 4 shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions:

                     (a)  The conditions to (i) the obligation of the
Stockholder to declare the Dividend under Section 3.03(b) of the Profit Sharing
Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 1995 (the "Exchange Agreement"), a copy
of which is attached hereto as Annex A, between the Stockholder and the Trust
and (ii) the obligations of the Stockholder and the Trust under Section 4.02
and Section 4.03, respectively, of the Exchange Agreement, other than the
condition set forth in Section 4.03(e) thereof, shall have been satisfied or
waived;

                     (b)  The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of the Stockholder Common Stock shall have approved the disposition by the
Stockholder of the Stockholder Shares pursuant to the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and the Trust shall have
consented to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement under the agreements set forth in Schedule 2(e) to this Agreement;
and

                     (c)  There shall be no order or injunction (whether
temporary, preliminary or permanent) of a Governmental Entity of competent
jurisdiction in effect precluding, restraining, enjoining or prohibiting
consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement.

                     The date of the later to occur of the condition set forth
in clause (a) above and the condition set forth in clause (b) above is
sometimes referred to herein as the "Approval Date," provided that the
condition set forth in clause (c) above shall be satisfied.

                                  ARTICLE III

                     Section 9.  Indemnification.

                     (a)  The Stockholder covenants and agrees, from and after
the Effective Time, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of Parent, the
Purchaser and their respective affiliates and their respective officers,
directors and employees (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against, and
pay or reimburse the Indemnitees for, any and all actual claims, demands,
liabilities, obligations, losses, fines, costs, expenses, deficiencies or
damages (collectively, "Losses"), whether or not resulting from third party
claims, including interest and penalties recovered by a third party with
respect thereto and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys' and
accountants' fees and expenses incurred in the investigation or defense of any
of the same or in asserting, preserving or enforcing any of their respective
rights hereunder, in each case (A) resulting from or arising out of any breach
of or inaccuracy in, as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date (subject
to Section 9(f)), any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in
Sections 3.5, 3.7 and 3.14 of the Merger Agreement other than any such breach
of or inaccuracy in any such representation or warranty as it relates to
Excluded Taxes (as defined below) or (B) resulting from or arising out of any
breach of or inaccuracy in, as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date
(subject to Section 9(f)), any representation or warranty of the Company set
forth in Section 3.24 of the Merger Agreement other than any such breach of or
inaccuracy in any such representation or warranty as it relates to Excluded
Taxes (as defined below) solely to the extent that it relates specifically to
Sections 3.5, 3.7 and 3.14 of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that in
connection with clause (B) above, in determining whether a breach of or
inaccuracy in such representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.24 of
the Merger Agreement exists or has occurred, the reference to "the actual
knowledge of the Company" contained in Section 3.24 of the Merger Agreement
shall be interpreted, for purposes of this Agreement, as referring to the
actual knowledge of the Stockholder.  The term "Excluded Taxes" means Taxes,
other than (x) United States federal, state and local Taxes other than Income
Taxes (as such term is defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) and (y)
impositions in respect of





                                       14
<PAGE>   17
matters that are the subject of Section 3.14 of the Merger Agreement that are
denominated as taxes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Stockholder shall
not be required to indemnify the Indemnitees with respect to Losses unless and
until the aggregate amount of all Losses exceeds $20,000,000 and then only to
the extent the Losses therefrom exceed $20,000,000; (ii) the obligation of the
Stockholder to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees shall be limited to
an amount equal to 80% of the amount of Losses in excess of $20,000,000; and
(iii) the aggregate liability of the Stockholder for indemnification under this
Section 9 shall not in any event or circumstance exceed $100,000,000.

                     (b)  Any claim for indemnification under this Section 9
must be asserted on or prior to the date that is 30 days after the delivery of
the opinion with respect to the annual audit by the Surviving Corporation's
independent auditors of the financial statements of the Surviving Corporation
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, and in any event no later than May
31, 1997.  Such a claim may be made whether or not any Losses in respect
thereof then have accrued; provided that, to the extent reasonably practicable,
the notice of claim shall include a reasonably detailed description of the
anticipated Loss.

                     (c)  The Indemnitee shall give written notice to the
Stockholder promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any claim as
to which indemnity may be sought (which notice shall state the basis of the
claim and the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement alleged to
have been breached), and the Indemnitee, with respect to a third party claim,
shall permit the Stockholder (at the expense of the Stockholder) to assume the
defense of any claim or any Litigation resulting therefrom, provided, that
counsel for the Stockholder who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, and the
Indemnitee may participate in such defense at such Indemnitee's sole expense.
Should the Stockholder elect to assume the defense of a third party claim, it
shall notify the Indemnitee of its election and the Stockholder shall not be
liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof.  The failure of any
Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section





                                       15
<PAGE>   18
9(c) shall not relieve the Stockholder of its indemnification obligation under
this Agreement except to the extent the Stockholder is materially prejudiced as
a result of such failure to give notice by the Indemnitee.  The Indemnitee
shall promptly deliver to the Stockholder copies of all notices and documents
(including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the third party
claim.

                     (d)  If the Stockholder notifies an Indemnitee in writing
that the Stockholder does not believe that it is required to indemnify such
Indemnitee in respect of any claim asserted thereby (which notice shall state
the basis for the Stockholder's belief, such notice being referred to as the
"Non-Indemnity Notice"), the Stockholder or the Indemnitee shall, at the
request of the other, meet with the other to discuss the claim made and the
Stockholder's reason for not believing that it is required to indemnify
therefor.  The Stockholder and the Indemnitee shall use their reasonable
efforts to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute remaining following
such meeting within 150 days following the date of the Non-Indemnity Notice.
If the Stockholder and the Indemnitee are unable to resolve such claim to their
mutual satisfaction, then any Litigation seeking to enforce such claim for
indemnification must be commenced by the Indemnitee on or prior to the date
that is 180 days after the date of delivery of the Non-Indemnity Notice.

                     (e)  Except with the prior written consent of the
Indemnitee, the Stockholder, in the defense of any such claim or Litigation,
shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (x)
that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the
Indemnitee, or (y) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all
liability with respect to such claim or Litigation.  In the event that the
Indemnitee shall in good faith determine, based upon the advice of counsel,
that the Indemnitee may have available to it one or more defenses or
counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be
available to the Stockholder in respect of such claim or any Litigation
relating thereto, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the
defense thereof, in which case the Stockholder shall be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of one separate





                                       16
<PAGE>   19
counsel for all Indemnitees asserting claims for indemnification with respect
to such claim or Litigation.  In the event that the Stockholder does not accept
the defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnitee shall have the full
right to defend against any such claim or demand, and shall be entitled to
settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand.  In any event, the
Stockholder and the Purchaser shall cooperate in the defense of any claim or
litigation subject to this Section 9 and the records and relevant personnel of
each party shall be available to the other with respect to such defense.

                     (f)  In determining whether there has occurred a breach of
or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty made under the Merger Agreement
that is indemnifiable hereunder, to the extent that the Disclosure Schedule
referred to in the Merger Agreement is supplemented pursuant to Section 5.7(b)
of the Merger Agreement, such determination shall be made after giving effect
to the supplementing of such Disclosure Schedule by the Schedule Supple- ments
as set forth in Section 5.7(b) of the Merger Agreement.

                     (g)  Unless otherwise required by law, each of Parent and
the Purchaser agrees to treat and to cause their respective affiliates to
treat, for all Tax purposes, any indemnification payment made pursuant to this
Section 9 as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration paid to the Stockholder
(or, if applicable, as the satisfaction of a liability of the Company and its
Subsidiaries assumed by the Stockholder, the assumption of which was a
contribution by the Stockholder to the capital of the Company) or as a
reimbursement for or a payment of a liability that was properly an obligation
of the Stockholder, and not of Parent, the Purchaser, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.  Any payment made by the Stockholder to an Indemnitee in respect
of any claim for which indemnification is provided under this Section 9 shall
be net of any net amounts recovered by the Indemnitee under insurance policies
with respect to such claim; and if such recovery is received following the date
of payment of indemnity hereunder with respect to such claim, then the
Indemnitee shall refund a portion of the indemnity, in the net amount of such
insurance recovery, to the Stockholder.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                     Section 10.  Certain Deliveries of Parent and the
Purchaser.  Parent and the Purchaser shall provide to the Stockholder when
available, and in any event prior to the Effective Time, (i) the letter
referred to in Section 4.10(b) of the Merger Agreement, addressed to the
Stockholder, who shall be entitled to rely thereon, (ii) any other solvency
letters or similar opinions relating to the solvency and capitalization of the
Surviving Corporation that are given on behalf of Parent or the Purchaser to
any banks or lenders in connection with the Financing, (iii) any appraisal
reports referred to in any such solvency letters and (iv) a certificate of an
executive officer of Parent and an executive officer of the Purchaser, as to
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(g).

                     Section 11.  Access to Information.  From the date of this
Agreement until the Effective Time, the Stockholder shall afford to Parent and
its authorized representatives reasonable access during normal business hours
upon reasonable prior notice to all of its books and records relating primarily
to, and personnel providing services to, the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Parent and its authorized representatives will use all reasonable efforts to
conduct all such inspections in a manner which will minimize disruptions of the
business and operations of the Stockholder.  Parent and the Purchaser will hold
any such information in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality
Agreement, and will cause such information to be so held by their
Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement).  Upon a
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 23, Parent, the Purchaser and
their respective Representatives shall return or destroy (and hold
confidential) all information provided pursuant to this Section 11 pursuant to
the procedures set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.

                     Section 12.  Hart-Scott-Rodino Filing.  Each of the
Stockholder and Parent shall, as soon as practicable, file (or, in the case of
Parent, cause its "ultimate parent entity" within the meaning of the HSR Act to
file) Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act with the FTC and the
Antitrust Division, if required under applicable law, and shall use reasonable
efforts to respond as





                                       18
<PAGE>   21
promptly as practicable to all inquiries received from the FTC or the Antitrust
Division for additional information or documentation.  Each party hereto shall
use its reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary,
proper or advisable to obtain any consent, waiver, approval or authorization
relating to any Competition Law that is required for the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                     Section 13.  Insurance.

                     (a)  In the event that, after the Effective Time, the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any successor thereto) (an "Insured
Party") shall suffer any loss that would be covered by any insurance policy
maintained by the Stockholder for the benefit of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (but not any policy under which an Insured Party is entitled
directly as a named insured to present a claim) (an "Insured Claim"), the
Stockholder shall, at the expense (to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the
insurers) of the Insured Party promptly reimbursed to the Stockholder upon its
written request, present and diligently prosecute any reasonable claim for
payment under such policy in respect of such loss, and pay to such Insured
Party the proceeds of such claim under such policy as reimbursement in respect
of the amount of such loss, subject to the provisions of this Section 13.

                     (b)  The Stockholder shall not be obligated to, or to
cause any of its affiliates to, present or prosecute any claim under any such
insurance policy with respect to any Insured Claim unless (i) such Insured
Claim is based upon a condition or event that arose or occurred (as determined
under the applicable insurance policy) prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the
relevant Insured Party cooperates fully at its expense (to the extent not paid
or reimbursed by the insurers) with the Stockholder's insurers in the
investigation and handling of such Insured Claim and (in the case of any
Insured Claim arising out of a third party claim) the defense thereof.

                     (c)  With respect to any Insured Claim, the amount of
proceeds of any such insurance claim to be paid over to the Insured Party shall
be limited to the amount actually received by the Stockholder and its
affiliates





                                       19
<PAGE>   22
from its insurers with respect to such claim (net of any unpaid deductible
amount or other unpaid amount that the Stockholder is required to reimburse its
insurers under its contractual agreements with them, in each case with respect
to such claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of proceeds of any
insurance claim in respect of domestic primary liability insurance or insured
workers compensation insurance shall be paid to or on behalf of an Insured
Party on a "first-dollar" basis and such amount shall include all self-insured
retention amounts paid or required to be paid by the Stockholder.

                     (d)  Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall (i)
prevent any Insured Party from presenting a claim for payment in respect of any
loss under any insurance policy under which such Insured Party is entitled
directly as a named insured to present such a claim or (ii) prejudice in any
way the rights of any Insured Party in respect of any insurance policy
maintained by the Stockholder for the benefit of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries on a "guaranteed cost" basis.  Nothing contained in this Section
13 shall require the Stockholder or any of its affiliates to keep in force and
effect after the Closing any insurance coverage in effect prior to or at the
Effective Time.

                     Section 14.  Publicity.  Neither the Stockholder, Parent
nor any of their respective affiliates (other than the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors) shall issue or cause
the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this
Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby without prior consultation with the other party, except as may be
required by law, a court filing or by any listing agreement with a national
securities exchange if all reasonable efforts have been made to consult with
the other party.

                     Section 15.  Certain Arrangements.  The Stockholder shall
cause all accounts payable, accounts receivable, contracts, agreements, plans,
instruments, commitments, claims and other obligations pursuant to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries has made, or is obligated to make, payments
or incur expenses to or for the benefit of the Stockholder or any of its
affiliates (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to be





                                       20
<PAGE>   23
cancelled, terminated, waived and released at or prior to the Effective Time
without any consideration being paid or payable in respect thereof, pursuant to
appropriate agreements and instruments in form and substance mutually
satisfactory to Parent and the Stockholder in their reasonable judgment;
provided that the accounts payable, accounts receivable, contracts, agreements,
plans, instruments, commitments, claims and other obligations set forth in
Schedule 5.10 of the Disclosure Schedule referred to in the Merger Agreement
shall be treated in the manner expressly set forth in such Schedule.


                                   ARTICLE V

                     Section 16.  Reasonable Efforts, etc.

                     (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein
provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to
take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all
things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations or
otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Stockholder agrees after the date hereof, to (i) use its reasonable efforts to
obtain approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement by its stockholders, (ii) prepare, file and distribute to its
stockholders a proxy statement with respect to such stockholder approval, in
compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations and the rules of any
stock exchange on which the Stockholder Common Stock is listed or traded, (iii)
call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of voting upon such
approval, (iv) use efforts consistent with past practice to solicit proxies
from its stockholders, (v) to the extent consistent with the exercise by the
Board of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, recommend in its proxy
solicitation material that stockholders vote in favor of such approval, and
(vi) use reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections
3.03(b), 4.02 and 4.03 of the Exchange Agreement, including receipt of the
Order (as defined in the Exchange Agreement).

                     (b)  The Stockholder shall, in accordance with applicable
law and the Restated Certificate of Incorpora-





                                       21
<PAGE>   24
tion and the By-laws of the Stockholder, duly call, set a record date for, give
notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders as promptly
as practicable (it being understood that such meeting may be adjourned or
postponed as reasonably necessary to permit the occurrence of the Approval
Date) after the date hereof for the purpose of considering and taking action
upon this Agreement and the Merger and such other matters as may be appropriate
at such special meeting (such meeting, as so adjourned or postponed, being
referred to as the "Stockholder Special Meeting").

                     (c)  As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the
Stockholder shall prepare and file with the SEC, and Parent and the Purchaser
shall cooperate with the Stockholder in such preparation and filing, a
preliminary proxy statement relating to this Agreement and the Merger and the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement and use its best
efforts to furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in the
Stockholder Proxy Statement (as hereinafter defined) and, after consultation
with Parent, to respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect
to the preliminary proxy statement and cause a definitive proxy statement (the
"Stockholder Proxy Statement") to be mailed to its stockholders.  Subject to
the fiduciary duties of the Stockholder's Board under applicable law, the
Stockholder shall include in the Stockholder Proxy Statement the recommendation
of the Stockholder's Board that stockholders of the Stockholder approve and
adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and shall use all reasonable efforts to
solicit from stockholders of the Stockholder proxies in favor of the approval
and adoption of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement.

                     (d)  Parent agrees that it will provide the Stockholder
with all necessary information concerning Parent or the Purchaser necessary or
reasonably appropriate to be included in the Stockholder Proxy Statement.

                     (e)  The Stockholder shall cooperate with Parent and the
Purchaser in the preparation and filing of the Schedule 13E-3 and shall use all
reasonable efforts to promptly obtain and furnish the information required to
be included in the Schedule 13E-3 and to respond





                                       22
<PAGE>   25
promptly to any comments or requests made by the SEC with respect to the
Schedule 13E-3.  The Stockholder agrees to correct any information provided by
it for use in the Schedule 13E-3 which shall have become, or is, false or
misleading.

                     (f)  The Stockholder shall give prompt notice to Parent
and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Stockholder, of (i) the occurrence
or nonoccurrence of any event the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would
cause any representation or warranty of the Stockholder, or of Parent and the
Purchaser, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement to be untrue or
inaccurate in any material respect at the Effective Time and (ii) any material
failure of the Stockholder, or Parent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to
comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with
or satisfied by it hereunder.

                     (g)  If at any time prior to the Stockholder Special
Meeting any event or circumstance relating to the Stockholder or any of its
Subsidiaries or affiliates, or its or their respective officers or directors,
should be discovered by the Stockholder that is required to be set forth in a
supplement to the Stockholder Proxy Statement, the Stockholder shall promptly
inform the Parent and the Purchaser, so supplement the Stockholder Proxy
Statement and mail such supplement to its stockholders.  If at any time prior
to the Stockholder Special Meeting any event or circumstance relating to Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, or its or their respective officers
or directors, should be discovered by Parent that is required to be set forth
in a supplement to the Stockholder Proxy Statement, Parent shall promptly
inform the Stockholder; and upon receipt of such information the Stockholder
shall promptly supplement the Stockholder Proxy Statement and mail such
supplement to its stockholders.

                     (h)  From and after the date of this Agreement, Parent and

effect to the Merger and the Financing as may be reasonably requested by the
Stockholder's financial advisors for the purpose of reviewing the matters

and shall cause each of its affiliates to, from time to time, execute and
deliver such additional instruments, documents, conveyances or assurances and
take such other actions as shall be necessary, or otherwise reasonably be
requested by Parent, to confirm and assure the rights and obligations provided
for in this Agreement and render effective the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement, or otherwise to carry out the
intent and purposes of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement other than
pursuant to Article III of this Agreement.

                     Section 17.  Non-survival of Representations and

Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except by an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.  No
failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant,
duty or agreement of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach
or of any other covenant, duty or agreement, any such waiver being made only by
a written instrument executed and delivered by the waiving party.  Neither this
Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided,
that Parent or the Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Subsidiary of
Parent or the Purchaser, or to any lender to Parent or the Purchaser or any
Subsidiary or affiliate thereof as security for obligations to such lender, and
provided, further, that no assignment to any such lender shall in any way
affect Parent's or the Purchaser's obligations or liabilities under this
Agreement.  Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder of any assignment
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) permitted by the immediately
preceding sentence.

                     Section 20.  Parties in Interest.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its
successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any rights,

Closing, the Tax Sharing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be amended without the consent of Purchaser and Newco, and the
parties thereto shall make all payments required thereunder.  Any and all
existing Tax sharing agreements and arrangements (including but not limited to
the Tax Sharing Agreement) between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on
the one side, and Stockholder or any Non-Company Affiliate, on the other side
(copies of which, together with all amendments thereto through the date hereof,

Closing, and no additional payments shall be made thereunder.  After the
Closing neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Stockholder nor any
Non-Company Affiliate shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder
for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year, or a past year).

                 2.2  Tax Sharing Payments.  The provisions of this Section 2.2
shall become effective upon the Closing:

                 (a) The Company shall pay to Stockholder an amount equal to
the estimated Federal Income Taxes and estimated Combined State Taxes with
respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods,
for which Taxes Stockholder is responsible pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or
Section 3.1(b), and shall make each such payment no later than 5 business days
prior to the due date for the payment of such estimated Taxes to the applicable
Taxing Authority.  The amount of such payment in respect of such estimated
Taxes shall be calculated in accordance with past practices pursuant to the
provisions of Article III of the Tax Sharing Agreement, based on Stockholder's
reasonable estimates of the income of the Company and its Subsidiaries and
reduced by the amount of any payments on account of such Taxes previously paid
to Stockholder.

                 (b)  Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser a pro forma
Federal Income Tax Return (each a "Pro Forma Federal Return") of the Company
and its Subsidiaries (i) for the





                                       5
<PAGE>   9
period beginning January 1, 1995 and ending on December 31, 1995, which Return
shall be delivered no later than July 17, 1996, and (ii) for the period
beginning January 1, 1996 and ending at the close of business on the Closing
Date, which Return shall be delivered no later than July 17, 1997, in each case
calculated in accordance with the principles of Section 2.2(e).  Stockholder
shall deliver to Purchaser a pro forma Combined State Tax Return (each a "Pro
Forma Combined State Return") for each jurisdiction in which a Combined State
Tax Return is filed no later than 60 days prior to the due date for the
applicable Return (including all extensions thereof) for the period beginning
January 1, 1995 and ending on December 31, 1995 and for the period beginning
January 1, 1996 and ending at the close of business on the Closing Date, in
each case calculated in accordance with the principles of Section 2.2(e).
Purchaser will and will cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to furnish Tax
information to Stockholder for preparation of the Pro Forma Returns in a timely
manner.

                 (c)  Purchaser shall have the right at Purchaser's expense to
review all work papers and procedures used to prepare each of the Pro Forma
Federal Returns and the Pro Forma Combined State Returns (together, the "Pro
Forma Returns").  Unless Purchaser timely objects as specified in this Section
2.2(c), the Pro Forma Returns shall be final and binding on the parties without
further adjustment.  If Purchaser objects to any item on any Pro Forma Return,
it shall, within 30 days after delivery of such Pro Forma Return, notify
Stockholder in writing that it so objects, specifying any such item and stating
the factual or legal basis for any such objection.  If a notice of objection
shall be duly delivered, disputed items shall be resolved pursuant to the Tax
Dispute Resolution Mechanism.  Upon resolution of all disputed items, the Pro
Forma Returns shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution and shall be final
and binding on the parties without further adjustment.

                 (d)  Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay to Stockholder,
or Stockholder shall pay to the Company, as appropriate, together with interest
calculated in accordance with past practices pursuant to the provisions of the
Tax Sharing Agreement, an amount reflecting the difference between (i) the sum
of the liabilities shown on the final Pro Forma Returns for each period and
(ii) the aggregate of all amounts previously paid by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries with respect thereto.  The payment for the period beginning
January 1, 1995 and ending on December 31, 1995 shall be made at the time
Stockholder's Consolidated Group files its consolidated federal Income Tax
Return for





                                       6
<PAGE>   10
the taxable year ending December 31, 1995, and the payment for the period
beginning January 1, 1996 and ending at the close of business on the Closing
Date shall be made at the time Stockholder's Consolidated Group files its
consolidated federal Income Tax Return for the taxable year ending December 31,
1996.  If a Pro Forma Return for Federal Income Taxes or for a Combined State
Tax reflects a net operating loss, net capital loss, excess tax credit or other
similar tax attribute, then Stockholder shall pay to the Company, within 45
days after Stockholder's Consolidated Group files its consolidated federal
Income Tax Return for the relevant taxable year, together with interest
calculated in accordance with past practices pursuant to the provisions of the
Tax Sharing Agreement, an amount equal to the refund that the Company and its
Subsidiaries would have received as a result of the carryback of such attribute
to the relevant Pro Forma Return (or Pro Forma Riverwood Return, as such term
is defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement) previously prepared with respect to
Federal Income Taxes or the same Combined State Tax, as the case may be
(whether or not such attribute is actually carried back with respect to the
relevant Federal Income Tax Returns or Combined State Tax Returns).  All such
payments shall be calculated in accordance with the principles of Section
2.2(e).

                 (e)  The calculation of the amount of Tax liabilities and
attributes set forth on the Pro Forma Returns shall be made as if the Company
were filing its own consolidated, combined or unitary Income Tax Returns
including those of its Subsidiaries that are members of Stockholder's
Consolidated Group or the applicable group for which a Combined State Tax
Return is filed (with the Company as the common parent) for all Pre-Closing Tax
Periods (assuming that the Company and its Subsidiaries had not been in
existence before January 1, 1992), provided that (i) income, gains, deductions,
losses, credits and recapture of credits shall be computed, and relevant Tax
elections shall be given effect, in a manner consistent with past practices
pursuant to the provisions of Article III of the Tax Sharing Agreement
(including but not limited to the concept that the Pro Forma Returns shall not
include any deductions, losses or credits of the Company and its Subsidiaries
arising from the payment of certain expenses by Stockholder that have not been
and will not be reimbursed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and (ii)
the applicable Tax rates shall be the appropriate statutory rates in effect
during the relevant taxable period.  Stockholder and Purchaser agree that the
Pro Forma Federal Return for the period beginning January 1, 1996 and ending at
the close of business on the Closing Date will be prepared on the basis of a
closing of the books of





                                       7
<PAGE>   11
the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing
Date, as adjusted to reflect income, gains, deductions, losses, credits and
recapture of credits shown on the Company's permanent records (including work
papers) pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(i) and not on the basis
of proration pursuant to Treas.  Reg. section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii).  The
calculation of the liability for Combined State Tax set forth on each Pro Forma
Combined State Return for the period beginning January 1, 1996 and ending at
the close of business on the Closing Date shall be made in accordance with
comparable provisions under applicable law in accordance with past practices
pursuant to the provisions of Article III of the Tax Sharing Agreement.  Except
as set forth to the contrary in this Section 2.2, the Pro Forma Returns shall
be prepared consistently with the applicable Returns as originally filed with
the applicable Taxing Authority, except for such inconsistencies as are
consistent with past practices pursuant to the provisions of Article III of the
Tax Sharing Agreement, and the Pro Forma Returns shall not be amended or
otherwise reflect any changes in or audit adjustments with respect to such
applicable Returns.

                 (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the
contrary, the Pro Forma Returns shall not include any amounts arising from (i)
the restoration of gain or loss on any deferred intercompany transaction (x)
between any of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of
Stockholder or any Non-Company Affiliate, on the other hand, that has
previously been taken into account in a Pro Forma Riverwood Return (as such
term is defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement) or (y) between any of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, or the inclusion in income of any excess loss account
with respect to the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii)
any income, gains, deductions, losses, credits or recapture of credits
resulting from the deemed sale of assets and other deemed transactions arising
from the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

                 2.3  Payments and Returns with Respect to Indemnifiable
Separate Taxes.  The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall become effective upon
the Closing:

                 (a) No later than 5 business days prior to the date on which
any Indemnifiable Separate Tax will actually be paid by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to the applicable Taxing Authority, Stockholder shall pay to
the Company the amount of such Tax.  If the taxable period covered by any
Return with respect to Indemnifiable Separate Taxes shall include any period
ending after the Closing





                                       8
<PAGE>   12
Date, then such Indemnifiable Separate Taxes shall be determined as if such
taxable period ended on the Closing Date, based on a closing of the books of
the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing
Date.

                 (b) The Company shall pay to Stockholder the amount of any
actual reduction in the amount of Income Taxes paid by the Company and its
Subsidiaries for any period beginning after the Closing Date that results from
any deduction of (i) the payment or accrual of Indemnifiable Separate Taxes by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) the payment or accrual of any
amount pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), in each case other than any such
payment or accrual that increases the purchase price for the deemed sale of
assets resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections or any
Section 338 Election.  Each payment pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be
made within 5 business days after the filing of the Return for such Income
Taxes (other than a Return for estimated Taxes) that reflects such reduction
(or in the case of a refund reflecting such reduction, after the receipt of
such refund).

                 (c) Stockholder shall pay to the Company the amount of any
actual increase in the amount of Income Taxes paid by the Company and its
Subsidiaries for any period beginning after the Closing Date that results from
any inclusion in income of the receipt or accrual of any amount pursuant to
Section 2.3(a) or this Section 2.3(c) other than any such receipt or accrual
that reduces the purchase price for the deemed sale of assets resulting from
the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections or any Section 338 Election.
Each payment pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall be made within 5 business
days after the filing of the Return for such Income Taxes (other than a Return
for estimated Taxes) that reflects such increase.

                 (d) Upon the making of any payment pursuant to Section 2.3(a),
Stockholder and the Company will in good faith attempt to negotiate a single
payment covering the net amount of the payments to be made pursuant to Section
2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c) relating to the Indemnifiable Separate Taxes covered
by such payment pursuant to Section 2.3(a), taking into account the tax
position of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  If Stockholder and the Company
are able to negotiate such a single payment, then the making of such payment
shall discharge the obligations of each with respect to Section 2.3(b) and
Section 2.3(c) covered by such single payment.





                                       9
<PAGE>   13
                 (e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.3,
(i) if Purchaser shall fail to provide notice to Stockholder with respect to an
Indemnifiable Separate Tax as provided in Section 6, Stockholder shall not be
required to pay to the Company pursuant to Section 2.3(a) any portion of such
Indemnifiable Separate Tax to the extent that such failure to give notice
results in a lack of actual notice to Stockholder and Stockholder is materially
prejudiced as a result of such failure, (ii) if the Company shall file any
Return (including amended Returns) relating to an Indemnifiable Separate Tax
without complying with the provisions of Section 2.3(f), Stockholder shall not
be required to pay to the Company pursuant to Section 2.3(a) any portion of
such Indemnifiable Separate Tax to the extent that Stockholder is materially
prejudiced as a result of such failure to comply, and (iii) in any such case,
and to such extent, the provisions of Section 2.3(b), Section 2.3(c) and
Section 2.3(d) relating to such Indemnifiable Separate Tax shall not apply.

                 (f)  The Company shall not file any Return (including amended
Returns) relating to Indemnifiable Separate Taxes without first providing
Stockholder the opportunity to prepare a draft of such Return.  The Company
shall furnish Tax information to Stockholder for preparation of a draft of each
such Return in a timely manner.  Stockholder shall deliver to the Company a
draft of each such Return to be filed at any time after the Closing Date no
later than the date that is 60 days prior to date on which such Return is to be
filed.  The Company shall have the right at its expense to review all work
papers and procedures used to prepare each such draft Return.  Unless the
Company timely objects as specified in this Section 2.3(f), each such draft
Return shall be final and binding on the parties without further adjustment.
If the Company objects to any item on any such draft Return, it shall, within
30 days after delivery of such draft Return, notify Stockholder in writing that
it so objects, specifying any such item and stating the factual or legal basis
for any such objection.  If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered,
disputed items shall be resolved pursuant to the Tax Dispute Resolution
Mechanism.  Upon resolution of all disputed items, such Return shall be
adjusted to reflect such resolution and shall be final and binding on the
parties without further adjustment.  If the Company shall provide Stockholder
the opportunity to prepare a draft of any such Return and shall furnish Tax
information to Stockholder for preparation of a draft of such Return, and if
Stockholder shall fail to provide a draft of such Return, in each case as
provided in this Section 2.3(f), the Company shall prepare the Return with
respect to such Indemnifiable

Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to retain, or
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive immediate payment from Stockholder of,
any refund or credit with respect to Taxes (other than Indemnifiable Separate
Taxes for which Stockholder shall have made a payment to the Company pursuant
to Section 2.3), plus any interest received with respect thereto from the
applicable Taxing Authorities,





                                       12

relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are described as being
the responsibility of Purchaser in Section 3.2, provided that neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall carry back any item of loss,
deduction or credit from a Return described as being the responsibility of
Purchaser in Section 4.2, to a Return described as being the responsibility of
Stockholder in Section 4.1 (other than the next to last sentence thereof).
Purchaser and Stockholder shall cooperate, and shall cause the Company and its
Subsidiaries to cooperate with Stockholder, with respect to claiming any refund
or credit with respect to Taxes referred to in this Section 5.  Such
cooperation shall include providing all relevant information available to
Stockholder or Purchaser (through the Company or otherwise), as the case may
be, with respect to any such claim; filing and diligently pursuing such claim
(including by litigation, if appropriate); paying over to Stockholder or
Purchaser, as the case may be, and in accordance with this provision, any
amount received by Purchaser (or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or
Stockholder (or the Non-Company Affiliates), as the case may be, with respect
to such claim; and, in the case of the party filing such a claim, consulting
with the other party prior to agreeing to any disposition of such claim,
provided that the foregoing shall be done in a manner so as not to interfere
unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties.  The party that
is to enjoy the economic benefit of a refund under this Section 5 shall bear
the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other party incurred in seeking
such refund.  If one party is to enjoy the economic benefit of a refund under
this Section 5 but the refund involves an issue that reasonably could be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the other party, the party that
would enjoy the economic benefit shall give notice to the other party of such
issue, with respect to which the parties, each at its own expense, shall
jointly pursue such issue, and any disagreement between them as to such issue
shall be resolved pursuant to the Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanism.

                 6.  Audits.  Each of Purchaser and Stockholder shall  promptly
notify the other in writing within 10 business days from its receipt of notice
of (a) any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, as long as any taxable periods ending on or prior to
the Closing Date remain open, and (b) any pending or threatened Tax audits or
assessments of Purchaser or Stockholder, or any of the Affiliates thereof, that
reasonably could be expected to affect the Tax liabilities of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, in each case for taxable periods ending on or prior to
the Closing Date.





                                       13
<PAGE>   17
Stockholder shall have the right to represent the interests of the Company and
its Subsidiaries in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding to the
extent relating to Indemnifiable Separate Taxes or to Taxes that are described
as being the responsibility of Stockholder in Section 3.1, and to employ
counsel of its choice at its expense, provided that Stockholder shall give
notice to Purchaser, keep Purchaser reasonably informed and consult with
Purchaser with respect to any issue relating to such audit or proceeding that
reasonably could be expected to have a material adverse effect on Purchaser,
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Purchaser shall have the right to
represent the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any Tax audit or
administrative or court proceeding not described in the immediately preceding
sentence and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense.  Purchaser and
Stockholder shall cooperate, and Purchaser shall cause the Company and its
Subsidiaries to cooperate with Stockholder, with respect to any Tax audit or
administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes referred to in this
Section 6.  Such cooperation shall include providing all relevant information
available to Stockholder or Purchaser (through the Company or otherwise), as
the case may be, with respect to any such audit or proceeding and making
personnel available at and for reasonable times, including, without limitation,
to prepare responses to requests for information, provided that the foregoing
shall be done in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct
of the business of the parties.

                 7.  Conduct of Tax Affairs.  (a)  Through the Closing,
Stockholder, the Company and its Subsidiaries will conduct all Tax affairs
relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries only in the ordinary course, in
substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted and in good faith in
substantially the same manner as such affairs would have been conducted if this
Agreement had not been entered into.

                 (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Purchaser shall be responsible for, and neither Stockholder nor any of the
Non-Company Affiliates shall bear, any Taxes that arise due to the failure,
following the Closing, of Purchaser to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries
to carry on their business on the Closing Date in the ordinary course and in
substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted, taking into account the
Merger, the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the
making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

                 8.  Section 338(h)(10) Election.

                 8.1  Election.  Purchaser shall, and Stockholder shall, or
shall cause the proper Non-Company Affiliate to, join in all Section 338(h)(10)
Elections.

                 8.2  Forms.  (a)  Purchaser shall be responsible for the
preparation of all forms and schedules required to be filed in connection with
the Section 338(h)(10) Elections ("Section 338 Forms"), including IRS Form
8023-A and all attachments required to be filed therewith pursuant to
applicable Treasury Regulations ("Form 8023").  Stockholder and Purchaser shall
cooperate in drafting and making final the Section 338 Forms.  Purchaser shall
be responsible for filing the Section 338 Forms with the proper Taxing
Authorities, provided that Stockholder shall be responsible for filing any
Section 338 Form that must be filed with a Return described in Section 4.1.

                 (b)  At least 15 days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser
shall furnish Stockholder with four copies (three for Purchaser and one for
Stockholder) of Form 8023 prepared by Purchaser.  On or before the Closing
Date, Purchaser and Stockholder shall agree upon the form and content of Form
8023 to be filed on the Closing Date.  At the Closing, Stockholder shall
deliver to Purchaser three copies of such Form 8023 executed by the proper
party on behalf of Stockholder.  On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause
such Form 8023 to be executed by the proper party on behalf of Purchaser, and
shall file such Form 8023 with the IRS.

                 (c)  Purchaser shall prepare (i) any corrections, amendments
or supplements to the Form 8023 as executed by Purchaser and Stockholder
pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and (ii) any state or local reports or forms that
are necessary or appropriate for purposes of complying with the requirements
for making the Section 338(h)(10) Elections (each an "Additional Section 338
Form").  Stockholder and Purchaser shall cooperate in drafting and making final
each Additional Section 338 Form.  At least 30 days prior to the latest date
for the filing of each Additional Section 338 Form, Purchaser shall furnish
Stockholder with four copies of such Additional Section 338 Form (three for
Purchaser and one for Stockholder) prepared by Purchaser.  At least 15 days
prior to the latest date for the filing of each Additional Section 338 Form,
Purchaser and Stockholder shall agree upon the final form and content of such
Additional Section 338 Form, and Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser three
copies of such Additional Section 338 Form executed by the proper party on
behalf of Stockholder.  Purchaser shall





                                       15
<PAGE>   19
cause each Additional Section 338 Form to be executed by the proper party on
behalf of Purchaser, and shall file such Additional Section 338 Form with the
applicable Taxing Authority.

                 8.3  Allocation.  On or before the last day of the seventh
month beginning after the month that includes the Closing Date, Purchaser shall
provide to Stockholder a proposed allocation of the purchase price for the
deemed sale of assets resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10)
Elections, together with a report or reports in support of such allocation
prepared by the valuation services group of Deloitte & Touche LLP or of Coopers
& Lybrand L.L.P. or any other firm or firms of independent appraisers of
nationally recognized reputation selected by Purchaser, the fees and expenses
of which shall be borne by Purchaser, setting forth the estimated fair market
values of the assets of the Company and, to the extent relevant to such deemed
sale, its Subsidiaries.  Stockholder and Purchaser shall cooperate in
determining the amount of the purchase price for the deemed sale of assets
resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections (including the
liabilities on the Closing Date of the Company and those of its Subsidiaries to
which the Section 338(h)(10) Elections apply) and the final allocation thereof
(the "Final Allocation").  The determination of the Final Allocation (other
than the determination of such liabilities) shall be at the sole discretion of
Purchaser.  Any dispute with respect to the determination of such liabilities
shall be resolved pursuant to the Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanism.  The
liabilities on the Closing Date of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to
which the Section 338(h)(10) Elections apply and the Final Allocation shall be
reflected in an Additional Section 338 Form filed with the IRS on or before the
fifteenth day of the ninth month beginning after the month that includes the
Closing Date.

                 8.4  Modification; Revocation.  Purchaser and Stockholder
agree that none of them shall, or shall permit any of their Affiliates to, take
any action to modify the Section 338 Forms following the execution thereof, or
to modify or revoke the Section 338(h)(10) Elections following the filing of
the Section 338 Forms, without the written consent of Stockholder and
Purchaser, as the case may be.

                 8.5  Consistent Treatment.  Purchaser and Stockholder shall,
and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file all Returns in a manner
consistent with the information contained in the Section 338 Forms and the
Additional Section 338 Forms as filed and the Final Allocation.





                                       16
<PAGE>   20
                 8.6  Taxes and Expenses Resulting from Elections.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) Stockholder shall
bear all federal Income Taxes and Combined State Taxes resulting from the
making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections (including but not limited to any
effect on such Taxes of the making of a Section 338 Election with respect to
any non-United States Subsidiary of the Company), (b) the Company shall bear
all other Taxes resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections
(including but not limited to any effect on such Taxes of the making of a
Section 338 Election with respect to any non-United States Subsidiary of the
Company), (c) the Company shall bear all Taxes resulting from the making of a
Section 338 Election with respect to the Company or any United States
Subsidiary of the Company (including but not limited to any effect on such
Taxes of the making of a Section 338 Election with respect to any non-United
States Subsidiary of the Company), (d) Purchaser and its Affiliates (including
the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing), on the one side, and
Stockholder and the Non-Company Affiliates, on the other side, shall bear their
respective administrative, appraisal, legal, accounting and similar expenses
resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, and (e)
Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries
following the Closing) shall bear all administrative, appraisal, legal,
accounting and similar expenses resulting from the making of any Section 338
Elections.

                 8.7  Deemed Sale of Assets If Newco Is Survivor of Merger.
If Newco is the survivor of the merger of Newco and the Company pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, the parties hereto shall treat such merger for all Income Tax
purposes as a sale of all of the Company's assets for the sum of the Merger
Consideration and the liabilities of the Company on the Closing Date, and as a
complete liquidation of the Company to which the provisions of section 332 of
the Code apply and a distribution of the Merger Consideration to its
shareholders.  In such case, the Section 338(h)(10) Elections will be
applicable only to the applicable Subsidiaries of the Company; IRS Form 8594
with respect to such deemed sale and all comparable or corresponding forms
under applicable state and local Income Tax law relating to Combined State
Taxes shall be treated as Section 338 Forms and, as applicable, Additional
Section 338 Forms; the provisions of Sections 2.2(f)(ii), 2.3(b), 2.3(c), 8.3,
8.6(a), 8.6(b), 8.6(d) and 11(d) and the definition of the term Indemnifiable
Separate Taxes shall be applied as if such deemed sale were a part of the
deemed sale of assets resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10)
Elections if those





                                       17
<PAGE>   21
elections were applicable to the Company as well as the applicable Subsidiaries
of the Company; and the provisions of Sections 2.3(b), 2.3(c), 8.6(c) and
8.6(e) and the definition of the term Indemnifiable Separate Taxes shall be
applied as if such deemed sale were a deemed sale of assets resulting from the
making of a Section 338 Election if that election were applicable to the
Company.

                 9.  Transfer Taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and
other such Taxes and fees incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including but not limited to any New York
State Gains Tax, any New York City Transfer Tax and any similar Tax imposed in
other jurisdictions) shall be borne and paid by Purchaser, and Purchaser will,
at its own expense, file all necessary Returns and other documentation with
respect to all such Taxes and fees.

                 10.  Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanism.  Wherever in this
Agreement it shall be provided that a dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the
"Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanism," such dispute shall be resolved as follows:
(a) the parties will in good faith attempt to negotiate a prompt settlement of
the dispute; (b) if the parties are unable to negotiate a resolution of the
dispute within 30 days, the dispute will be submitted to the New York office of
a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably
satisfactory to Stockholder and Purchaser (or, if Stockholder and Purchaser do
not agree on such a firm, then a firm chosen by the Arbitration and Mediation
Committee of the New York Society of Certified Public Accountants) (the "Tax
Dispute Accountants"); (c) the parties will present their arguments and submit
the proposed amount of each item in dispute to the Tax Dispute Accountants
within 15 days after submission of the dispute to the Tax Dispute Accountants;
(d) the Tax Dispute Accountants shall resolve the dispute, in a fair and
equitable manner and in accordance with applicable Tax law and the provisions
of this Agreement, by selecting, for each item in dispute, the proposed amount
for such item submitted by one party or the other party within 30 days after
the parties have presented their arguments to the Tax Dispute Accountants,
whose decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties; (e)
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any payment to be made
as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be made, and any other action
to be taken as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be taken, on or
before the later of (i) the date on which such payment or action would
otherwise be required or (ii) the





                                       18
<PAGE>   22
third business day following the date on which the dispute is resolved (in the
case of a dispute resolved by the Tax Dispute Accountants, such date being the
date on which the parties receive written notice from the Tax Dispute
Accountants of their resolution), provided that if a dispute with respect to an
item in a Return shall not be resolved on or before the date that is three
business days prior to the latest date on which such Return may be filed under
applicable Tax law, then the party having the responsibility for filing such
Return pursuant to Section 4 shall file such Return reflecting all disputed
items that have been resolved in the manner so resolved, and reflecting all
unresolved disputed items in the manner proposed by such party, and shall, upon
the resolution of all such unresolved disputed items, file an amended Return
reflecting the resolution thereof in the manner so resolved; and (f) the fees
and expenses of the Tax Dispute Accountants in resolving a dispute will be
borne equally by Stockholder and Purchaser.

                 11.  Cooperation on Tax Matters.  (a)  Purchaser and
Stockholder agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon
request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to
books and records) relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as is
reasonably necessary for the preparation of the Pro Forma Returns, for the
filing of all other relevant Returns, for the preparation for any audit, and
for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any
proposed adjustment and any claim subject to Section 12.3.

                 (b)  The parties agree to use their reasonable good faith
efforts to cooperate in connection with the transition from the performance of
tax compliance services relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries by
Stockholder prior to the Closing to the performance of such services by the
Company after the Closing, taking into account the need to minimize both the
cost of such transition and the disruption to the ongoing business activities
of the parties.

                 (c)  Purchaser and Stockholder agree to retain or cause to be
retained all books, records, Returns, schedules, documents, work papers and
other material items of information relating to Taxes with respect to the
Company and its Subsidiaries for periods prior to or ending on the Closing Date
for the longer of (i) the seven-year period beginning on the Closing Date or
(ii) the full period of the applicable statute of limitations, including any
extension thereof, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into
with any Taxing Authority.  Purchaser and Stockholder agree to give each other
reasonable notice prior





                                       19
<PAGE>   23
to transferring, discarding or destroying any such materials relating to Taxes
with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and, if the other party so
requests, to allow the other party to take possession of such materials.

                 (d)  Purchaser and Stockholder shall cooperate, and Purchaser
shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to cooperate with Stockholder,
with respect to the preparation and filing of any Return for which the other is
responsible pursuant to Section 4 (including but not limited to providing work
papers and schedules).  Except as otherwise provided with respect to items
relating to the allocation of the purchase price for the deemed sale of assets
resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, Purchaser shall
prepare or cause the Company to prepare, in a manner and at such time or times
as is consistent with past practice, the Tax work paper preparation package or
packages necessary to enable Stockholder to prepare consolidated federal and
combined, unitary or consolidated state, local and foreign Income Tax Returns,
and to prepare drafts of Returns (including amended Returns) relating to
Indemnifiable Separate Taxes pursuant to Section 2.3(f), for all taxable
periods from January 1, 1995 through the Closing Date.

                 12.  Indemnification.

                 12.1  Indemnification by Stockholder.  Stockholder covenants
and agrees, from and after the Effective Time, to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless each of Purchaser, Newco, their respective Affiliates, the Company and
its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnitees") from and against,
and pay or reimburse the Purchaser Indemnitees for, any and all actual claims,
demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, fines, costs, expenses, deficiencies
or damages (collectively, "Losses"), whether or not resulting from third party
claims, including interest, additions and penalties with respect thereto and
out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and
expenses incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same or in
asserting, preserving or enforcing any of their respective rights under this
Agreement, in each case resulting from or arising out of any failure of
Stockholder to perform any agreement or covenant under Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3,
3.1, 4.1, 5, 6, 7(a), 8, 10, 11, 12.1, 12.3, 12.4, 13, 14 and 18 or fulfill any
other obligation in respect thereof.  Stockholder shall not have any liability
under any provision of this Agreement for any Losses to the extent that any
such Losses arise from actions taken by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates, the
Company or any of its Sub-





                                       20
<PAGE>   24
sidiaries after the Closing, or from the failure of any thereof to take any
required action, except for failure to give notice as provided in Section 12.3.
Purchaser shall take and cause its Affiliates, the Company and its Subsidiaries
to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses with respect to which
Stockholder could have an indemnification obligation under this Section 12.1
upon any of the Purchaser Indemnitees' becoming aware of any event which could
reasonably be expected to give rise thereto.

                 12.2  Indemnification by Purchaser.  Purchaser covenants and
agrees, from and after the Effective Time, to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless each of Stockholder and the Non-Company Affiliates (collectively, the
"Stockholder Indemnitees") from and against, and pay or reimburse the
Stockholder Indemnitees for, any and all Losses, in each case resulting from or
arising out of any failure of Purchaser to perform any agreement or covenant
under Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 4.2, 5, 6, 7(b), 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2, 12.3,
12.4, 13, 14 and 18 or fulfill any other obligation in respect thereof.
Purchaser shall not have any liability under any provision of this Agreement
for any Losses to the extent that any such Losses arise from actions taken by
Stockholder or any of the Non-Company Affiliates after the Closing, or from the
failure of any thereof to take any required action, except for failure to give
notice as provided in Section 12.3.  Stockholder shall take and cause its
Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses with respect to
which Purchaser could have an indemnification obligation under this Section
12.2 upon any of the Stockholder Indemnitees' becoming aware of any event which
could reasonably be expected to give rise thereto.

                 12.3  Indemnification Procedures.  In the case of any claim
asserted by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under
this Section 12 (the "Indemnified Party"), notice shall be given by the
Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the
"Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual
knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought (which notice shall
state the basis of the claim and the agreement or covenant alleged not to have
been performed), and the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party
(at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any claim
or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that (a) the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 12.3 shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this
Section 12 except to the extent that





                                       21
<PAGE>   25
such failure results in a lack of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and
such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to
give notice and (b) in the case of any such claim against any of Purchaser,
Newco, their respective Affiliates, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
relating to Taxes other than those set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section
3.1, counsel for Stockholder who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation shall be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, and Purchaser may
participate in such defense at Purchaser's expense.  The Indemnified Party
shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and
documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating
to the third party claim.  Except with the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
(i) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the
Indemnified Party, (ii) that reasonably could be expected to affect adversely
any Tax liability of any Indemnified Party with respect to which the
Indemnifying Party has no indemnification obligation under this Section 12 or
(iii) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each
claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability
with respect to such claim or litigation.  In the event that the Indemnifying
Party does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, the
Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or
demand, and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or
demand.

                 12.4  Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  Unless
otherwise required by law, each of Purchaser and Stockholder agrees to treat
and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat, for all Tax purposes, any
indemnification payment made pursuant to this Section 12 as an adjustment to
the Merger Consideration paid to Stockholder (or, if applicable, in the case of
a payment by Stockholder, as the satisfaction of a liability of the Company and
its Subsidiaries assumed by Stockholder, the assumption of which was a
contribution by Stockholder to the capital of the Company) or as a
reimbursement for or a payment of a liability that was properly an obligation
of the Indemnifying Party, and not of the Indemnified Party.

                 13.  Confidentiality.  Each of Purchaser, Newco and the
Company, on the one hand, and Stockholder, on the other hand, shall, and shall
use reasonable efforts to cause its respective Affiliates, agents, advisors and
representa-





                                       22
<PAGE>   26
tives and its and their respective officers, directors or employees (the
"Representatives," neither party being treated as a Representative of the
other) to, keep confidential and not disclose to others or use in any way
except to further the purposes of this Agreement, without the written consent
of Stockholder or the Company, respectively, all information of the other party
and their respective Affiliates that has been acquired in connection with this
Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to information that (a)
is or hereafter becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure by the party that would otherwise have an obligation of
confidentiality hereunder (the "Obligated Party") or any Representative
thereof, (b) is hereafter disclosed to the Obligated Party or any
Representative thereof by a third party who is not in default of any
confidentiality obligation to the other party, (c) is reasonably required to be
submitted by the Obligated Party or any Representative thereof to any
Governmental Entity, including in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding, (d) is provided by Stockholder under confidentiality terms and
conditions for the benefit of the Company, substantially similar to those
confidentiality arrangements set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement and
with a term of at least five years from the date hereof, (i) to third parties
for consulting, accounting, legal and similar purposes or (ii) to prospective
purchasers of Stockholder or of all or any portion of the securities or assets
of Stockholder to the extent considered reasonably necessary by Stockholder to
facilitate such purchase, (e) is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the
Obligated Party, to disclose in order to assert or defend any claim against (or
made by) any insurer or other Person, provided that prior notice of such
disclosure is provided to the other party, (f) is or was independently
developed by the Obligated Party or any Representative thereof, or (g) is
required to be disclosed by the Obligated Party or any Representative thereof
in compliance with applicable laws or regulations or order by a Governmental

                 15.  Governing Law.  Except to the extent federal, state,
local or foreign Tax laws, rules, or regulations govern the filing of Returns
or the positions taken with respect to Taxes in Returns, and regardless of the
law that might otherwise be applied under principles of conflicts of laws, this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of New York.

                 16.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in more
than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts when executed shall constitute one and the same agreement.

<PAGE>   30
                 17.  Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or
other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory
policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated.

                 18.  Assignment; Binding Effect.  Neither this Agreement nor
any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any
of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law of otherwise) without the
prior written consent of the other parties, provided that Purchaser or Newco
may assign this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Purchaser or Newco, or to any
lender to Purchaser or Newco or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as security
for obligations to such lender, and provided, further, that no such assignment
to any such lender shall in any way affect the assigning party's obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Purchaser shall promptly notify Stockholder of any assignment (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) permitted by the provisions of this Section 18.

                 19.  No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in
Section 12 with respect to indemnification of Indemnified Parties hereunder,
nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer
any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever upon any Person other
than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

                 20.  Waivers.  Any party hereto may by written notice to the
other parties (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations
or other actions of the other parties under this Agreement, (b) waive
compliance with any of the conditions or covenants of the other parties
contained in this Agreement and (c) waive or modify performance of any of the
obligations of the other parties under this Agreement.  Except as provided in
the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance
with any covenants or agreements contained herein.  The waiver by any party
hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach,





                                       27
<PAGE>   31
and no failure by a party to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be
deemed a waiver of such party's rights or privileges hereunder or shall be
deemed a waiver of such party's rights to exercise the same at any subsequent
time or times hereunder.

                 21.  Amendments.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended,
altered or supplemented except by an instrument in writing executed on behalf
of each of the parties hereto.

                 22.  Termination; Survival.  This Agreement shall be
terminated upon the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the
terms thereof.  This Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Merger
pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

                 23.  Headings.  The headings contained in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed for any purpose to
constitute a part of or to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.

                 24.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (excluding the
Merger Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement), both written and oral,
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The





                                       28

                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER


                 AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of October 25, 1995, by
and among Riverwood International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), CDRO Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and
CDRO Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser").

                 WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, the Purchaser and
the Company have each approved, and deem it advisable and in the best interests
of their respective shareholders to consummate, the acquisition of the Company
by Parent upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

                 WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, (a) the Boards of
Directors of Parent, the Purchaser and the Company have each approved this
Agreement and the merger of the Purchaser with and into the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), and (b) in order to induce Parent and the
Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the execution
and delivery hereof, Parent, the Purchaser and Manville Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Stockholder"), are entering into a Voting and Indemnification
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Voting Agreement") among such
parties, and Parent, the Purchaser, Stockholder and the Company are entering
into a Tax Matters Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Tax Matters
Agreement");

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the
respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:


                                   ARTICLE I

                                   THE MERGER

                 Section 1.1  The Merger.  Upon the terms and subject to
conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective
Time (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), (a) the Purchaser shall be merged with
and into the Company or (b) at the Purchaser's election, the Company shall be
merged with and into the Purchaser (either such
<PAGE>   9
merger, the "Merger") and the separate corporate existence of the corporation
being merged into the other corporation shall cease.  After the Merger, the
Company, in the case of clause (a) above, or the Purchaser, in the case of
clause (b) above, shall continue as the surviving corporation (sometimes
hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Corporation").  The Merger shall have
the effect as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the Merger, all the rights,
privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and the Purchaser
shall vest in the Surviving Corporation and all obligations, duties, debts and
liabilities of the Company and the Purchaser shall be the obligations, duties,
debts and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.

                 Section 1.2  Effective Time.  On or as promptly as practicable
following the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.3), the Purchaser and the
Company will cause an appropriate Certificate of Merger (the "Certificate of
Merger") to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware (the "Secretary of State") in such form and executed as provided in
the DGCL.  The Merger shall become effective on the date on which the
Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State or such
time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of
Merger, and such time is hereinafter referred to as the "Effective Time."

                 Section 1.3  Closing.  The closing of the Merger (the
"Closing") will take place at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a date to be
specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second business day
after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VI
hereof (the "Closing Date"), at the offices of Debevoise & Plimpton, 875 Third
Avenue, New York, New York 10022, unless another date or place is agreed to in
writing by the parties hereto.

                 Section 1.4  Certificate of Incorporation; By-Laws.  Pursuant
to the Merger, (x) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Purchaser, as in
effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided
by law and such Certificate of Incorporation (except that the name of the
Surviving Corporation set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation shall be
such name as may be determined by the Purchaser prior to the Effective Time)
and (y) the By-laws of the Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective





                                       2
<PAGE>   10
Time, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter
amended as provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation and such By-laws.

                 Section 1.5  Directors and Officers of the Surviving
Corporation.

                 (a)  The directors of the Purchaser immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of
the Surviving Corporation until their successors shall have been duly elected
or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal
in accordance with the Surviving Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and
By-laws.

                 (b)  The officers of the Purchaser immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and
shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and
qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.


                                   ARTICLE II

                              CONVERSION OF SHARES

                 Section 2.1  Conversion of Capital Stock.  As of the Effective
Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders
of any shares of common stock, par value $.0l per share, of the Company
(referred to herein as "Shares" or "Company Common Stock") or the common stock,
par value $.01 per share, of the Purchaser (the "Purchaser Common Stock"):

                 (a)  Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock
(other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and other
than Dissenting Shares covered by Section 2.4) shall be converted into the
right to receive $20.25 per share in cash, payable to the holder thereof,
without interest (the "Merger Consideration"), upon surrender of the
certificate formerly representing such share of Company Common Stock in the
manner provided in Section 2.2.  All such shares of Company Common Stock, when
so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be
cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a
certificate representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with
respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor
upon the surrender of such certificate in accor-





                                       3
<PAGE>   11
dance with Section 2.2.  Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) shall
be made net of applicable withholding taxes to the extent such withholding is
required by law; provided that, with respect to any such payment to be made to
any Person who (i) at any time during the shorter of the periods described in
section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder,
beneficially owned more than five percent, taking into account the constructive
ownership rules described in section 897(c)(6)(C) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, of the fair market value of any class of stock of the
Company and (ii) has not delivered to the Purchaser, prior to the time for
making such payment, a certificate, as contemplated under and meeting the
requirements of section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, to the
effect that such Person is not a foreign person within the meaning of the Code
and applicable Treasury Regulations, the Purchaser shall withhold from such
payment an amount equal to 10% thereof and pay over such amount to the Internal
Revenue Service.

                 (b)  Each issued and outstanding share of the Purchaser Common
Stock shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share
of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

                 (c)  All shares of Company Common Stock that are held by the
Company as treasury stock and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by
Parent, the Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Parent shall be cancelled and
retired and shall cease to exist and no Merger Consideration shall be delivered
in exchange therefor.

                 Section 2.2  Exchange of Certificates.

                 (a)  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate the
Company's registrar and transfer agent, or Chemical Bank (or any successor
thereto), or such other bank or trust company as may be approved in writing by
the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), to act as
paying agent for the holders of Shares in connection with the Merger, pursuant
to an agreement providing for the matters set forth in this Section 2.2 and
such other matters as may be appropriate and the terms of which shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the "Paying Agent"), to receive the
funds to which holders of Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section
2.1(a). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent will cause to be
deposited in trust with the Paying Agent for the





                                       4
<PAGE>   12
benefit of holders of Company Common Stock the funds necessary to complete the
payments contemplated by Section 2.1(a) with respect to shares of Company
Common Stock other than Stockholder Shares (as such term is defined in the
Voting Agreement (as defined below)) on a timely basis.

                 (b)  At the Effective Time, Parent will instruct the Paying
Agent to promptly, and in any event not later than three business days
following the Effective Time, mail (and to make available for collection by
hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates, which
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock (the "Certificates"), whose Shares were converted pursuant
to Section 2.1(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a
letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of
the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such
other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify) and (ii)
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange
for payment of the Merger Consideration (which shall provide that at the
election of the surrendering holder Certificates may be surrendered, and
payment therefor collected, by hand delivery).  Upon surrender of a Certificate
for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be
appointed by the Company, together with such letter of transmittal, duly
executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in
exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common
Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, to be mailed (or made available
for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within three
business days of receipt thereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall
forthwith be cancelled.  If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made
to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is
registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so
surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for
transfer and that the person requesting such payment shall have paid any
transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger
Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate
surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving
Corporation that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable.  Merger
Consideration payable in respect of Certificates representing Company Common
Stock held by Stockholder shall be paid only to the person in





                                       5
<PAGE>   13
whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered.  Until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate (other than Certificates
representing Company Common Stock held by Parent or the Purchaser, or any
subsidiary of Parent or the Purchaser, or Dissenting Shares (as defined in
Section 2.4)) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent
only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by
this Section 2.2.

                 (c)  In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person (as
defined in 3.1) claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as
determined in accordance with this Article II, provided that the Person to whom
the Merger Consideration is paid shall, as a condition precedent to the payment
thereof, give the Surviving Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct or
otherwise indemnify the Surviving Corporation in a manner satisfactory to it
against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with
respect to the Certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

                 (d)  After the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the
Company shall be closed and there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer
books of the Surviving Corporation of Shares which were outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are
presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged
for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article II.

                 (e)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.2, at
the Effective Time, (i) the Purchaser shall pay to Stockholder by wire transfer
an amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of
Stockholder Shares to the account of the Stockholder designated at least two
business days prior to the Closing Date, net of applicable withholding taxes,
and (ii) the Stockholder shall deliver to the Purchaser, free and clear of any
Liens, one or more share certificates representing all of the Stockholder
Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers or other
instruments of transfer duly executed in blank, and bearing or accompanied by
all requisite stock transfer stamps.

                 Section 2.3  Company Option Plans.  Except as Parent or the
Purchaser and the holder of an Award (as defined below) otherwise agree, the
Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that, upon the Effective
Time, (i) each outstanding restricted stock unit ("Restricted Stock Units") or
stock appreciation right (including any Premium, Option Replacement or SAR
Replacement stock appreciation right) ("SARs" and, together with the Restricted
Stock Units, the "Awards") outstanding under either of the Company's 1992
Long-Term Incentive Plan or 1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan (together, the
"Option Plans"), whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall become fully
exercisable and vested, (ii) each Award of an SAR which is then outstanding
shall be cancelled and each Award of a Restricted Stock Unit which is then
outstanding shall be repurchased and (iii) in consideration of such
cancellation or repurchase, as the case may be, the Company shall pay to the
holder of each such Award an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of
(A) the Applicable Amount, multiplied by (B) the number of units subject
thereto (such payment to be net of applicable withholding taxes); and provided
that the foregoing shall not require any action which violates the Option
Plans, the Awards or any agreement in effect in respect thereof.  The term
"Applicable Amount" shall mean (i) in the case of Awards of Restricted Stock
Units, the Merger Consideration or (ii) in the case of Awards of SARS, the
excess of (A)(1) with respect to Awards of SARS granted under the 1994 Long
Term Incentive Plan, the greater of the Merger Consideration or the highest
price of a Share (as determined by the Committee administering the 1994 Long
Term Incentive Plan) paid in a bona fide transaction during the 60 day period
preceding and including the Effective Time or (2) with respect to all Awards of
SARS other than those specified in clause (ii)(A)(1), the Merger Consideration,
over (B) the applicable grant price of each such Award.

                 Section 2.4  Dissenter's Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or
consented thereto in writing and who has delivered a written demand for
appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, if such
Section 262 provides for appraisal rights for such Shares in the Merger
("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into the right to receive the
Merger Consideration, as provided in Section 2.1(a) hereof, unless and until
such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his
right to





                                       7
<PAGE>   15
appraisal and payment under the DGCL.  If, after the Effective Time, any such
holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses his right to
appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had
been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger
consideration to which such holder is entitled, without interest or dividends

                                  ARTICLE III

                 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

                 The Company represents and warrants to Parent and the
Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, that:

                 Section 3.1  Organization.  Each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) is a corporation or other entity duly
organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, and has all requisite
corporate power and authority to own, lease, use and operate its properties and
to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.  Each of the Company and
its Subsidiaries is qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns real
property or in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such
qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so
qualified or licensed individually and in the aggregate would not have or
result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The term "Material Adverse Effect" means
a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, results of
operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
a whole.  None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any
Immaterial Subsidiary) is in breach or violation of any of its certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents.  "Immaterial
Subsidiaries" shall mean those inactive or otherwise immaterial Subsidiaries of
the Company indicated





                                       8

on Schedule 3.1 of the Disclosure Schedule.  The Company has previously
delivered to Parent a complete and correct copy of each of its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as currently in effect.  Schedule 3.1
of the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent on or prior to
the date hereof (the "Disclosure Schedule") sets forth a complete and correct
list of the Subsidiaries of the Company and their respective jurisdictions of
incorporation or organization.  "Subsidiary" shall mean with respect to any
Person, any corporation or other entity of which 50% or more of the securities
or other interests having by their terms ordinary voting power for the election
of directors or others performing similar functions with respect to such entity
is directly or indirectly owned by such Person. "Person" shall mean any natural
person, firm, individual, partnership, joint venture, business trust, trust,
association, corporation, company, unincorporated entity or Governmental Entity
(as defined in Section 3.4(b)).

                 Section 3.2  Capitalization.

                 (a)  The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
100,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 100,000,000 preferred shares,
par value $1.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock").  The number of shares of
Company Common Stock issued and outstanding is 65,675,578 shares on the date
hereof, and at the Effective Time will be 65,675,578 shares plus not more than
150,000 shares issued after the date hereof as required pursuant to the terms
of the Riverwood International Hourly Savings Plan and Riverwood International
Savings Plan, as each such plan is in effect on the date hereof.  No shares of
Company Common Stock are issued and held in the treasury of the Company, and
there are no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.  All the
outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  There is outstanding $125,000,000
principal amount of 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the
"Convertible Notes") that upon certain circumstances become convertible into
Company Common Stock and 7,126,250 shares of Company Common Stock are reserved
for issuance upon conversion of Convertible Notes.  Complete and correct copies
of the indenture and any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is
a party governing the Convertible Notes, including any and all amendments,
modifications and supplements thereto, have been made available by the Company
to Parent and the Purchaser.  Other than the Convertible Notes, and except as
set forth in Schedule 3.2(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no





                                       9

existing (i) options, warrants, calls, preemptive rights, subscriptions or
other rights, convertible securities, agreements or commitments of any
character obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer
or sell any shares of capital stock or other equity interest in, the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
shares or equity interests, (ii) contractual obligations of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any capital
stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or (iii) voting trusts or
similar agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party
with respect to the voting of the capital stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

                 (b)  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.2(b) of the Disclosure
Schedule and except for directors' qualifying shares (i) all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock (or equivalent equity interests of entities other than
corporations) of each of the Company's Subsidiaries are beneficially owned,
directly or indirectly, by the Company and (ii) neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries owns any shares of capital stock or other securities of, or
interest in, any other Person (other than any shares and interests that have a

obligated to make any capital contribution to or other investment in any other
Person.

                 Section 3.3  Authorization; Validity of Agreement.

authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and, subject to approval of its
stockholders as contemplated by Section 5.6 hereof, to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution, delivery and performance by
the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") and, other than approval and adoption of
this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock, no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company
are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company
and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by
Parent and the Purchaser, is a valid and binding obligation of the Company





                                       10
<PAGE>   18
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such
enforcement may be subject to or limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting creditors' rights
generally, and (ii) the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

                 (b)  The provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL are
inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                 Section 3.4  No Violations; Consents and Approvals.

                 (a)  Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of the

Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, (ii) except as set
forth in Schedule 3.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, conflict with, result in a
violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, amendment,
cancellation or acceleration, or to the imposition of any Lien (as defined in
Section 3.18(b))) under, or result in the acceleration or trigger of any
payment, time of payment, vesting or increase in the amount of any compensation
or benefit payable pursuant to, the terms, conditions or provisions of any
note, bond, mortgage, indenture, guarantee or other evidence of indebtedness,
lease, license, contract, agreement, plan or other instrument or obligation to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them
or any of their assets may be bound or (iii) conflict with or violate any
federal, state, local or foreign order, writ, injunction, judgment, award,
decree, statute, law, rule or regulation (collectively, "Laws") applicable to
the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets;
except in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii) for such conflicts, violations,
breaches,  defaults or Liens which individually and in the aggregate would not
have or result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially impair or delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                 (b)  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.4(b) of the Disclosure
Schedule, no filing or registration with, declaration or notification to, or
order, authorization, consent or approval of, any federal, state, local or

                 Section 3.5  SEC Reports and Financial Statements.  The
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), all
forms and documents required to be filed by it since January 1, 1992 under the
Exchange Act and has heretofore made available to Parent (i) its Annual Reports
on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 1992, December 31, 1993 and

As of their respective dates, the Company SEC Documents (a) did not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (b)
complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
Exchange Act and the





                                       12
<PAGE>   20
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), as the case may be, and the
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.  The consolidated

subject to year end adjustment and do not contain all footnote disclosures
required by GAAP) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated

the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof or for
the periods presented therein.

                 Section 3.6  Absence of Certain Changes.  Except as disclosed

                 Section 3.7  Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except (a)
as and to the extent disclosed in the Company's SEC Documents filed prior to

sheet dated as of July 1, 1995 constituting a portion of the financial
statements included therein (the "Balance Sheet") or in the notes thereto, (b)
as and to the extent disclosed in Schedules 3.7 and 3.14 of the Disclosure
Schedule or (c) for liabilities or obligations relating to environmental
matters the existence of which was not required to be disclosed pursuant to the
representation set forth in Section 3.14, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries had as of that date any liabilities or obligations (accrued,
contingent or otherwise) which (x) would be material to the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole (except for obligations under executory contracts
incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice that
have yet to be performed and that individually and in the aggregate would not
have or result in a Material Adverse Effect) or (y) would be required to be set
forth in the Balance Sheet or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP.
Except as set forth in Schedules 3.7 and 3.14 to the

Disclosure Schedule or for liabilities or obligations relating to environmental
matters the existence of which was not required to be disclosed pursuant to the
representation set forth in Section 3.14, since the date of the Balance Sheet,
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities or
obligations (accrued, contingent or otherwise) that would be required to be
reflected or reserved against in an audited consolidated balance sheet of the
Company and its Subsidiaries or the notes thereto prepared in accordance with
GAAP, or that would be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole, except for such liabilities and obligations as were incurred in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and as individually
and in the aggregate would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect and
except for liabilities and obligations resulting from the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

                 Section 3.8  Proxy Statement; Schedule 13E-3; Offer Documents.

                 Section 3.9  Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA.

program, agreement or arrangement, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by
the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or by any trade or business, whether or
not incorporated (an "ERISA Affiliate"), that together with the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries would be deemed a "single employer" within the meaning of
section 4001 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), for the benefit of any employee, former employee, director or former
director of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate or with
respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has or could reasonably
be expected to have any material liability (matured or unmatured, absolute or
contingent) (the "Plans").  Schedule 3.9(a) identifies each of the Plans that
is an "employee benefit plan," subject to ERISA (the "ERISA Plans").

                 (b)  With respect to each Plan, the Company has heretofore
delivered or made available to the Purchaser true and complete copies of each
of the following documents (including all amendments to such documents):





                                       15
<PAGE>   23
                           (i)  the Plan or a written description of any Plan 
       not in writing;

                          (ii)  the most recent annual report and actuarial 
       report if required under ERISA;

                         (iii)  the most recent Summary Plan Description with
       respect thereto if required under ERISA;

                          (iv)  if the Plan or any obligations thereunder are
       funded through a trust or any other funding vehicle, the trust or other
       funding agreement and the latest financial statements thereof;
                 
                           (v)  the most recent determination letter received
       from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to each Plan intended to
       qualify under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
       amended (the "Code"); and

                          (vi)  communications that the Company or any of its
       ERISA Affiliates or Subsidiaries has received from or sent to the PBGC,
       the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service or any comparable
       agency of any foreign governmental entity concerning any termination of,
       withdrawal from or appointment of a trustee to administer any plan or
       the failure or alleged failure to comply with any provision of ERISA,
       the Code or comparable legislation of a foreign jurisdiction with
       respect to any plan, including any existing written description of any
       such oral communication.

                 (c)  No liability under Title I or IV of ERISA, the penalty or
excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee plans or equivalent
legislation of a foreign jurisdiction has been incurred by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates that has not been satisfied in full,
and no condition exists or event has occurred that presents a material risk to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates of incurring any
such liability, other than (i) liability for contributions due in the ordinary
course and premiums due the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC")
(which contributions and premiums have been paid when due) and (ii) such
liabilities that individually and in the aggregate would not have or result in
a Material Adverse Effect.





                                       16
<PAGE>   24
                 (d)  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.9(d), no ERISA Plan is
a "multiemployer plan," as defined in section 3(37) of ERISA, nor is any ERISA
Plan a plan described in section 4063(a) of ERISA.

                 (e)  No ERISA Plan or any trust established thereunder has
incurred any "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in section 302 of
ERISA and section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived.  Each ERISA Plan
intended to be "qualified" within the meaning of section 401(a) of the Code has
been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified; timely
application has been made for an updated determination of the Internal Revenue
Service as to the continued qualification of such ERISA Plan under section
401(a) of the Code as currently in effect; no condition exists or event has
occurred since the date of such initial determination that would adversely
affect the qualified status of any such ERISA Plan; and each trust maintained
thereunder has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt
from taxation under section 501(a) of the Code.  Each Plan has been operated
and administered in all respects in accordance with its terms and applicable
Law, including but not limited to ERISA, the Code and equivalent legislation of
a foreign jurisdiction, except any such failures to so operate or administer
that individually and in the aggregate would not have or result in a Material
Adverse Effect.  There are no pending, or to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened, material claims by or on behalf of any Plan, by any employee or
beneficiary covered under any such Plan or otherwise involving any such Plan or
the assets thereof (other than routine claims for benefits).

                 (f)      Neither the Company nor any of the Company's
Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates would be liable for any amount pursuant to
section 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA if any ERISA Plan were to terminate that
individually or in the aggregate would have or result in a Material Adverse
Effect.  All contributions required to be made to each Plan under the terms of
such Plan, applicable Law or any applicable collective bargaining agreement
have been paid in full when due except where such failure individually and in
the aggregate would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole.

                 Section 3.10  Litigation; Compliance with Law.

                 (a)  Except as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents filed
prior to the date hereof or as set forth in





                                       17
<PAGE>   25
Schedule 3.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, and except for Environmental
Claims (which are the subject of Section 3.14), (i) there is no Litigation (as
defined below) pending or, to the actual knowledge of the Company, threatened,
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or
assets which, individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the
Company or such Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have or result in
a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is subject to any settlement or similar agreement with any
Governmental Entity, or to any order, judgment, decree, injunction or award of
any Governmental Entity or arbitrator, that individually or in the aggregate
would have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.  "Litigation" means any
action, claim, suit, proceeding, citation, summons, subpoena, inquiry or
investigation of any nature, civil, criminal or regulatory, in law or in
equity, by or before any Governmental Entity or arbitrator (including worker's
compensation claims).

                 (b)  Except as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents filed
prior to the date hereof, and except for violations of Environmental Laws
(which are the subject of Section 3.14), the operations of the Company and its
Subsidiaries have not been and are not being conducted, and no Real Property
is, in violation of any Law or any Permit (as defined below), except where such
violations individually and in the aggregate would not have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10(b) of the
Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has
received any notice, or has knowledge of any claim, alleging any such
violation, except for such violations that individually and in the aggregate
would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (c)  The Company and its Subsidiaries hold all licenses,
permits, variances, consents, authorizations, waivers, grants, franchises,
concessions, exemptions, orders, registrations and approvals of Governmental
Entities or other Persons necessary for the ownership, leasing, operation,
occupancy and use of the Real Property (as defined in Section 3.19(c)) and the
conduct of their respective businesses as currently conducted ("Permits"),
except for Permits under Environmental Laws (which are the subject of Section
3.14) and except where the failure to hold such Permits individually and in the
aggregate would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice





                                       18
<PAGE>   26
that any Permit will be terminated or modified or cannot be renewed in the
ordinary course of business, and the Company has no knowledge of any reasonable
basis for any such termination, modification or nonrenewal, except for such
terminations, modifications or nonrenewals as individually and in the aggregate
would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not violate any Permit, or result in any
termination, modification or nonrenewals thereof, except for such violations,
terminations,  modifications or nonrenewals thereof as individually and in the
aggregate would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                 Section 3.11  Intellectual Property.  The Company and its
Subsidiaries own, or possess sufficient and legally enforceable licenses or
other sufficient and legally enforceable rights to use, any and all United
States and foreign patents, patent applications, patent disclosures, mask
works, computer software, trademarks, trade dress, trade names, copyrights and
service marks, including applications to register and registrations for any of
the foregoing, as well as trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary rights
and information (all of the foregoing, other than trademarks, trade names and

individually and in the aggregate would not have or result in a Material
Adverse Effect.  No current use by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the Real

the absence of which individually or in the aggregate would have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

material to, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as it is
currently conducted, including, without limitation, timber deeds, cutting
rights or other timbering interests to the extent they constitute non-fee
interests in real property.  "Leased Real Property" means





                                       30
<PAGE>   38
all interests in real property pursuant to the Leases.  "Owned Real Property"
means the real property owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries necessary for
the conduct of, or otherwise material to, the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as it is currently conducted.  "Real Property" means the Owned
Real Property and the Leased Real Property.

                 (d)  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.19(d) of the Disclosure
Schedule, since January 1, 1995 the Company's timber business has been operated
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.  As of
January 1, 1995, the Company owned, leased or held cutting rights with respect
to timberlands aggregating not less than 540,000 acres of land containing not
less than 500 million board feet of pine sawlogs, 2.7 million cords of pine
pulp wood, 95 million board feet of hardwood sawlogs and one million cords of
hardwood pulp wood.

                 Section 3.20  Insurance.  Schedule 3.20 of the Disclosure
Schedule contains a complete and correct list and summary description of all
insurance policies maintained by or on behalf of any of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the date hereof.  Such policies are in full force and

Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with the terms and
provisions of such policies.  The insurance coverage provided by such policies
is believed by the Company to be suitable for the business and operations of
the Company and its Subsidiaries.

                 Section 3.21  Labor Matters, etc.  Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.21 of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company and its
Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by and none of their employees is subject
to any collective bargaining agreement relating to the terms and conditions of
employment for any group of employees (any such agreement, memorandum or
document, a "Collective Bargaining Agreement"), and there are no labor unions
or other organizations representing or, to the actual knowledge of the Company
purporting to represent, any employees employed by any of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.  No labor union is currently engaged in or, to the actual
knowledge of the Company, threatening, organizational efforts with respect to
any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  The Company and its
Subsidiaries are not in material breach of or default under any Collective
Bargaining Agreement.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.21 of the Disclosure
Schedule, since January 1, 1992, there has not occurred or





                                       31

refusal to work overtime or other similar labor activity with respect to any
employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.21 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no labor disputes currently
subject to any pending grievance procedure, arbitration or litigation and there

applicable Laws pertaining to the employment or termination of employment of
their respective employees, including, without limitation, all such Laws
relating to labor relations, equal employment opportunities, fair employment
practices, prohibited discrimination or distinction and other similar
employment activities, except for any failures so to comply that individually
and in the aggregate would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect or
any material liability or obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

                 Section 3.22  No Stockholder-Related Claims.  Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries was ever engaged in the business of mining
asbestos or manufacturing or selling asbestos-containing products.  The
Company's Subsidiary Riverwood International USA, Inc. ("RIUSA") was discharged
and released from all debts that arose before the date of confirmation of
RIUSA's plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code,
including, without limitation, claims for damages relating to personal injuries
caused by asbestos.  There is no reasonable basis for subjecting the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets to liability for any
claim relating to the mining, processing, manufacturing, distribution or sale
of asbestos or any other product containing asbestos for which Stockholder or
any of its affiliates may be liable.

                 Section 3.23  Affiliate Transactions.  Schedule 3.23 of the
Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and correct list of all agreements,
contracts, transfers of assets or liabilities or other commitments or
transactions, whether or not entered into in the ordinary course of business,
to or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and
Stockholder or any of its affiliates (other than the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries), on the other hand, are or have been a party or otherwise bound
or affected, and that (i) are currently pending or in effect or (ii) involve
continuing liabilities

and obligations that, individually or in the aggregate, have been, are or will
be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

                 Section 3.24  Disclosure; No Other Representations or
Warranties.  (a)  To the actual knowledge of the Company, this Agreement and
each certificate or other instrument required to be furnished by or on behalf
of the Company to Parent or the Purchaser pursuant hereto at or prior to the
Closing, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated herein or therein
or necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

in this Article III, neither the Company nor any other Person makes any other
express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of the Company or any
of its affiliates, and for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor any
of its affiliates makes any express or implied representation or warranty with

Merger, the Financing and any other transactions contemplated in connection
therewith (and any changes in the Surviving Corporation's assets and
liabilities as a result thereof), the Surviving Corporation will not (i) be

saleable value of its assets will be less than the amount required to pay its
probable liabilities on its debts as they mature), (ii) have unreasonably small
capital with which to engage in its business or (iii) have incurred or plan to
incur in debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature.

such Acquisition Proposal.  If any such inquiry or proposal is in writing, the
Company shall promptly deliver to Parent a copy of such inquiry or proposal,
unless the Board determines in its good faith, reasonable judgment, after
consultation with its counsel, that taking such action could reasonably be
expected to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

                 (c)  For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "Acquisition
Proposal" shall mean any inquiry or proposal made by a third party relating to,
or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction,
and (ii) "Acquisition Transaction" shall mean (other than the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) (x) a merger, consolidation or other business
combination, share exchange, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer or
exchange offer or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, (y) acquisition in any manner, directly or indirectly, of a
material interest in any voting securities of, or a material equity interest in
a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
including any single or multi-step transaction or series of





                                       42
<PAGE>   50

portion of the business or assets of the Company.

                 Section 5.3  Access to Information.

                 (a)  From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time,
the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) afford to
Parent and its authorized representatives reasonable access during normal
business hours upon reasonable prior notice to all of its premises, properties,
contracts, commitments, data, books and records and personnel; provided,
however, that any such access for purposes of any environmental review shall be
provided pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(b), and (ii) shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause its customers, suppliers, lenders and other
creditors to be available to Parent and the Purchaser.  In addition, during
such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
furnish promptly to Parent (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration
statement and other document filed or received by it during such period
pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act and (b) such other information
concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably
request.  Parent and its authorized representatives will use all reasonable
efforts to conduct all such inspections in a manner which will minimize
disruptions of the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Until the Effective Time, Parent and the Purchaser will hold any such
information in accordance with the provisions of the confidentiality agreement
between the Company, Stockholder and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., dated as

information to be so held by their Representatives (as defined in the
Confidentiality Agreement) of Parent and the Purchaser.  Upon a termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, Parent, the Purchaser and their
respective Representatives shall return or destroy (and hold confidential) all
information provided pursuant to this Section 5.3 and all other Evaluation
Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) pursuant to the
procedures set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.

                 (b)  From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time,
Parent, its authorized representatives, and Dames & Moore (the "Environmental
Consultant"), shall have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during
normal business hours, to the operations, properties, assets, books, records
and personnel of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of
conducting the Environmental Assessment (as defined below).  The scope of the

the facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, a compliance review of the

shall cause its Subsidiaries to, offer all reasonable assistance and
cooperation to Parent, its representatives and the Environmental Consultant in
connection with the Environmental Assessment.  The Environmental Consultant
shall maintain insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.  Parent and
the Purchaser shall be liable for, and shall cause the Environmental Consultant
to repair, any damage to the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries to
the extent such damage is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Environmental Consultant.  In no event shall Parent or the Purchaser be
liable for any other costs or losses incurred by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries as a result of the Environmental Assessment.  The term
"Environmental Assessment" means the evaluation and review, and related written
report thereon, prepared by the Environmental Consultant for counsel to Parent

activities and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their
respective predecessors, including as to the use or condition of properties or
assets of any of them or of any other Person and as to compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws.

                 Section 5.4  Further Action; Reasonable Efforts.

                 (a)  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein
provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to

things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including using reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the
obligations of any





                                       44
<PAGE>   52

approvals, and to effect all necessary registrations and filings and in the
case of Parent and the Purchaser to obtain the Financing and consummate the
Offers.  Each of the parties hereto will furnish to the other parties such
necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other parties may
reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and will provide the other
parties with copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental
Entity or any other information supplied by such party to a Governmental Entity
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

                 (b)  Parent, the Purchaser and the Company shall use their
respective reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be
asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under the laws,
rules, guidelines or regulations of any Governmental Entity.  Without limiting
the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall, as soon as practicable,

the HSR Act to file) Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act (as
defined below) with the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and Antitrust

documentation.  Each party hereto shall use its reasonable efforts to take or
cause to be taken all actions necessary, proper or advisable to obtain any

benefits that are substantially comparable to those provided to them under the
Plans on the date hereof.  Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of one
year following the Effective Time, Parent and the Purchaser also shall, or
shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide as follows:

                 (i)  that salaried and nonunion hourly employees shall
       generally be paid total base salary compensation or hourly rates that

       entitled to benefits under a severance policy, policies or agreements
       (including any career assistance) that are generally comparable to the
       policy, policies or agreements in effect on the date hereof for such
       employee; and

                (iv)  that any employee terminated by Parent, the Company or its
       Subsidiaries within twelve months after





                                       46
<PAGE>   54
       the Effective Time shall be l00 percent vested in any defined benefit or
       defined contribution retirement Plan in which such employee was
       participating at the time of such termination, and each such Plan shall
       be amended, effective as of the Effective Time, to provide for such
       vesting.

                 (c)  If the Effective Time occurs prior to January 1, 1996,

Purchaser shall cause to be contributed the full amount of the variable match
that would have been made thereunder in respect of the 1995 Plan year as if all
performance or similar targets specified thereunder had been achieved.  If the
Effective Time is after December 31, 1995, each such Plan shall be continued
until at least December 31, 1996 and the variable match in respect of the 1996
Plan Year shall be determined using the actual performance of the Company and
its subsidiaries for such year, but adjusted to exclude any extraordinary
charges, expenses or other adjustments which result from or arise out of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                 (d)  With respect to each incentive, bonus or profit sharing
plan, program or arrangement that may be in effect for calendar year 1995 or
1996, the awards thereunder shall be determined with respect to 1996 and, if
the Effective Time occurs prior to January 1, 1996, with respect to 1995, based
upon the actual performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such year,
but adjusted to exclude any extraordinary charges, expenses or other
adjustments which result from or arise out of the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement.  Unless otherwise required by this Agreement, payment to
participating employees under any such plan, program or arrangement shall be
made in accordance with the terms of such plan, program or arrangement.

                 (e)  Parent and the Purchaser acknowledge that for purposes of
those of the Company's Plans listed on Schedule 5.5(e) of the Disclosure
Schedule the consummation of the Merger will constitute a "Change in Control"
of the Company (as that term is defined in such plans, agreements and
arrangements).

                 (f)  To the extent required by applicable law or the terms of
any contract or agreement disclosed on Schedule 3.12(a) of the Disclosure

                 (a)  The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Parent
shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence or nonoccurrence
of any event the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would cause any

material respect at the Effective Time and (ii) any material failure of the
Company, or Parent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to comply with or
satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied
by it hereunder.  The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of the

                 (b)  The Company may supplement any of the Schedules to the

subsequent to the date of this Agreement or facts, circumstances or conditions
coming to the attention of the Company after the date hereof, and such
supplement is accompanied by an officer's certificate, signed by an officer of
the Company, so certifying, and (ii) the Closing shall have occurred.  From and
after the Closing, the Schedule Supplements shall form a part of this
Agreement, and, to the extent the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in Article III are qualified by reference to any such Schedule
Supplement, any such Schedule Supplements thereto shall have the effect of
modifying the representation and warranty so qualified as if it had been set
forth on the corresponding Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule delivered by the
Company to the Purchaser on the date hereof.

           (c)  If at any time prior to the Special Meeting any event or

                                       50
<PAGE>   58
was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and arising out of actions or omissions or alleged actions or omissions
occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.

                 (b)  For a period of six years after the Effective Time,

officers' liability insurance covering the directors and officers of the
Company and its Subsidiaries who are currently covered by the Company's

and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to maintain such insurance
pursuant to a six-year pre- paid insurance policy with a limit of liability of
$90 million in the aggregate for such six-year period (the "Prepaid Policy")
that provides for the payment of a single premium payment at the commencement

Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall provide Stockholder with 30 days
prior written notice of any reductions in the level of insurance resulting from
the proviso to the second sentence of this Section 5.8(b).

thereunder of individuals who at any time prior to the Effective Time were
directors or officers of the Company in respect of actions or omissions
occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.

                 (d)  The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended for the

                 Section 5.9  Publicity.  Neither the Company, Parent nor any
of their respective affiliates (other than the Stockholder) shall issue or
cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect

without the prior consultation of the other party, except as may be required by
law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange if all
reasonable efforts have been made to consult with the other party.

                 Section 5.10  Certain Arrangements.  The Company shall cause

incur expenses to or for the benefit of Stockholder or any of its affiliates
(other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to be canceled, terminated,
waived and released at or prior to the Effective Time without any consideration
being paid or payable in respect thereof, pursuant to appropriate agreements
and instruments in form and substance mutually satisfactory to Parent and
Stockholder in their reasonable judgment; provided that the accounts payable,
accounts receivable, contracts, agreements, plans, instruments, commitments,
claims and other obligations set forth in Schedule 5.10 of the Disclosure

and the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to make, at their expense,

and subject to conditions to be determined by Parent and the Purchaser, and the
Company shall cooperate therewith.  The Offers may be accompanied by such
solicitations of consents from the holders of the Notes as may be determined by
the Purchaser to be necessary or appropriate, relating to certain amendments
(the "Proposed Amendments") to the indentures under which each series of Notes
was issued (the "Indentures").  In the event that any registration statement is
required in connection with the Offers or such solicitations, Parent and the
Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts, at their expense, to prepare, file and
cause to become effective any such registration statement, and the Company
shall cooperate therewith as the registrant thereunder.  At the Closing
(provided that the requisite consents of Note holders necessary to effect the
Proposed





                                       52
<PAGE>   60
Amendments to any Indenture are received) the Company shall execute and deliver
a supplemental indenture (each, a "Supplemental Indenture") with the relevant
indenture trustee party to such Indenture (each, a "Trustee") to so amend the
Indenture.  The term "Notes" means the indebtedness of the Company listed in
Schedule 5.11 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule.

                 Section 5.12  Certain Information.  From and after the date of
this Agreement, Parent and the Purchaser shall at the request of the Company
advise the Company as to the status of negotiations to obtain the Financing and
shall advise the Company promptly upon becoming aware of any event,
circumstance or condition that it believes could reasonably be expected to
prevent the availability to the Purchaser of such Financing in a timely manner.
Parent and the Purchaser shall provide the Company's financial advisors with
such information regarding the financing plans and capital structure of the
Surviving Corporation after giving effect to the Merger and the Financing as
may be reasonably requested by the Company's financial advisors for the purpose
of reviewing the matters referred to in Section 4.10 and any appraisal report
referred to therein, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings by
such advisors.  At or prior to the Closing, Parent and the Purchaser shall
provide to the Company the letter referred to in Section 4.10(b).  In the event
that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, at the request
of the Company, Parent and the Purchaser shall provide to the Company a copy of
each of the Environmental Assessment and the Patent Review, but in no event

perform legal due diligence with respect to (a) the validity and enforceability
of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' Technology and (b) whether the conduct
of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries may infringe or otherwise
conflict with the Technology of any other Person, in each case as Parent shall
reasonably deem appropriate (the "Patent Review").

                 Section 5.14  Additional Consents.  (a)  In the event that the
Purchaser wishes to exercise its option to have the Company merge with and into
the Purchaser in the





                                       53
<PAGE>   61
Merger, as provided in Section 1.1(b), the Purchaser shall notify the Company
of its desire to do so not later than 45 days after the date hereof.  The
Company thereupon may propose a supplement to one or more Schedules of the
Disclosure Schedule by delivering to Parent and the Purchaser a proposed
written supplement thereto not later than 15 days after receipt of such notice
from the Purchaser and in no event more than 10 days prior to the Closing;
provided that no such supplement shall be effective unless (i) the information
contained therein (x) is necessary, in the good faith judgment of the Company,
to make the information set forth on such Schedule true and correct and (y)
relates solely to the fact that the Company will not be the Surviving
Corporation following the Merger, and such supplement is accompanied by an
officer's certificate, signed by an officer of the Company, so certifying, and
(ii) the Purchaser shall agree in its sole discretion to the contents of such
supplement.  In the event that such supplement is acceptable to the Purchaser,
the Purchaser shall so notify the Company, and the Schedules of the Disclosure
Schedule to be so supplemented shall be deemed modified by such supplement.  In
the event that such supplement is not acceptable to the Purchaser, the
Purchaser shall so notify the Company, and if the Purchaser and the Company are
not able to agree upon another form of such supplement that is acceptable to
the Purchaser within 15 days of the Company's receipt of such notice from the
Purchaser, such Schedules shall not be deemed so modified, and the Purchaser's
election pursuant to Section 1.1(b) shall accordingly be deemed rescinded.  The

rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other
time.  Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto of a breach of or a
default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any
of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of

                      MANVILLE ANNOUNCES RIVERWOOD SALE
                         AND PROFIT SHARING EXCHANGE

Denver, Colo. (October 26, 1995) -- Manville Corporation (NYSE: MVL)
announced that its 81.3 percent owned subsidiary, Riverwood International
Corporation (NYSE: RVW), has entered into a definitive merger agreement
providing for the acquisition of Riverwood by a group including funds managed
by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. and senior
management of Riverwood. Based on the merger price of $20.25 per share of
Riverwood common stock, Manville would receive gross proceeds from the merger
of approximately $1.081 billion for its Riverwood investment.

Manville and Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust also announced that
they have agreed to a transaction in which the Trust would exchange its right
to receive annually 20 percent of Manville's adjusted net earnings for Manville
common stock representing 20 percent of the common stock of Manville assuming
exercise of all outstanding options and warrants and after giving effect to the
exchange. If the exchange were to occur today, approximately 32.6 million
shares of common stock would be issued to the Trust, resulting in an
approximately $400 million pretax extraordinary loss based on yesterday's
closing price of Manville common stock. This loss will be recognized upon the
closing of the transaction.

Manville Chairman Tom Stephens said, "Our evaluation of strategic
alternatives for Riverwood has resulted in the realization of significant value
for the shareholders of Manville and Riverwood. In addition, the profit sharing
exchange removes the last unique Manville obligation resulting from our
bankruptcy. Now our balance sheet is normal, and the Trust becomes merely a
large shareholder of Manville. The Riverwood transaction will also allow us to
sharpen our focus on our remaining core building products business -- Schuller  
International."

Manville has agreed to vote its Riverwood shares for the merger, subject to,
among other things, approval by the stockholders of Manville of the disposition
of its Riverwood investment, receipt of necessary consents from Manville
Personal Injury Settlement Trust and the satisfaction of certain of the
conditions to the exchange and the dividend described below.

The merger is subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Riverwood common stock. The merger is also subject to the
receipt of all necessary financing, termination or expiration of the applicable
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, as well
as the receipt of other regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions.
The entity formed by the acquisition group to acquire Riverwood has received
commitments from The Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Private Equity Fund V Limited
Partnership and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. for $275 million of the $750
million of equity financing necessary to consummate the merger. In addition,
the acquiring entity has received commitments from Chemical Bank and Chemical
Securities Inc. to provide $1.55 billion of debt financing, and a letter from
Chemical Securities Inc. expressing a high degree of confidence in its ability
to place an additional $650 million of debt financing. It is anticipated that
an aggregate of approximately $2 billion of debt financing will be necessary to
consummate the proposed transaction.

It is contemplated that the profit sharing exchange would take place in
connection with a pro rata dividend to all stockholders of the net proceeds to
Manville from the merger. Under the exchange agreement, before paying any
dividend, Manville may elect to apply a portion of the proceeds of the merger
to the redemption of all or part of its outstanding Cumulative Preference
Stock, Series B, having an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately
$231 million plus accrued dividends, and its outstanding $26 million of Nine
Percent Sinking Fund Debentures. Approximately $261 million would be necessary
to redeem such Preference Stock and Debentures. The exchange is subject to a
number of conditions, including bankruptcy court approval and the declaration
of the dividend, and there can be no assurance that the transactions
contemplated thereby will be consummated.

Manville and Riverwood are being advised on the sale by J.P. Morgan and
Goldman, Sachs & Co.
