Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Subsection (a) of Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation
Code provides that a corporation may indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify
an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director
against liability incurred in the proceeding if he acted in a manner he
believed in good faith to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  Subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851
of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a corporation may not
indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation, or in
connection with any other proceeding in which he was adjudged liable on the
basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, pursuant to Section 14-2-854 a court may order a corporation to
indemnify a director if such court determines the director is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant
circumstances, whether or not such director met the standard of conduct set
forth in subsection (a) of Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation
Code or was adjudged liable as described in subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851
of the Georgia Business Corporation Code.

         Section 14-2-852 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides
that, unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, to the
extent that a director has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of any proceeding to which he was a party, or in defense of any claim,
issue, or matter therein, because he is or was a director of the corporation,
the corporation shall indemnify the director against reasonable expenses
incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section 14-2-857 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides
that, unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, an
officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory
indemnification under Section 14-2-852 and is entitled to apply for court
ordered indemnification under Section 14-2-854, in each case to the same extent
as a director.  In addition, Section 14-2-857 provides that a corporation may
also indemnify an officer, employee or agent who is not a director to the
extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of
incorporation, bylaws, action of its board of directors or contract.

         In accordance with Article VI of the Corporation's Bylaws, every
person (and the heirs and personal representatives of such person) who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in which he
served as such at the request of the Corporation, shall be indemnified by the
Corporation against all liability and expenses (including, without limitation,
counsel fees and disbursements, and amounts of judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with or resulting from any threatened, pending or completed claim,
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative or in connection with any appeal relating thereto, in which he
may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which he may be
threatened, by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation or such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action taken or 



                                      -3-

<PAGE>   4


omitted by him in his capacity as such whether or not he continues to be such 
at the time such liability or expense shall have been incurred.  Every such 
person (and the heirs and personal representatives of such person), to the 
extent that such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise with 
respect to any such claim, action, matter, suit or proceeding is entitled to 
indemnification as of right for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually 
and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.  Except as provided in
the preceding sentence, upon receipt of a claim for indemnification under 
Article VI of the Corporation's Bylaws, the Corporation shall proceed as 
follows, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law: If the claim is made by
a director or officer of the Corporation, the board of directors, by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the 
applicable action, suit or proceeding, shall determine whether the claimant 
met the applicable standard of conduct as set forth in subparagraphs (A) and 
(B) below.  If such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum 
of disinterested directors so directs, such determination shall be made by 
independent legal counsel (who may be the regular inside or outside counsel of
the Corporation) in a written opinion.  If such determination has not been made
within 90 days after the claim is asserted, the claimant shall have the right 
to require that the determination be submitted to the shareholders at the next
regular meeting of shareholders by vote of a majority of the shares entitled 
to vote thereon.  If a claim is made by a person who is not a director or 
officer of the Corporation, the Chief Executive Officer and the general counsel
of the Corporation shall determine, subject to applicable law, the manner in 
which there shall be made the determination as to whether the claimant met the
applicable standard of conduct as set forth in subparagraphs (A) and (B) below.
In the case of each claim for indemnification, the Corporation shall pay the
claim to the extent the determination is favorable to the person making the
claim.

                 (A)      In the case of a claim, action, suit or proceeding
             other than by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
             judgment in its favor, the director, officer, employee or agent
             must have acted in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
             opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, in
             addition, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
             cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  In addition, any
             director seeking indemnification must not have been adjudged
             liable on the basis that any personal benefit was received by him.
             For the purpose of this subparagraph (A), the termination of any
             claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal or
             administrative, by judgment, order, settlement (either with or
             without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty or
             nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption
             that a director, officer, employee or agent did not meet the
             standards of conduct set forth in this subparagraph.

                 (B)      In the case of a claim, action, suit or proceeding by
             or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its
             favor, the director, officer, employee or agent must have acted in
             good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
             opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided,
             however, that no indemnification under this subparagraph (B) shall
             be made (1) with regard to any claim, issue or matter as to which
             such director, officer, employee or agent shall have been adjudged
             to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that
             the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
             that, despite the adjudication of liability but in 



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5



             view of all the circumstances of the case, such director, officer,
             employee or agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity 
             for such expenses which the court shall deem proper, or (2) for 
             amounts paid, or expenses incurred, in connection with the 
             defense or settlement of any such claim, action, suit or 
             proceeding, unless a court of competent jurisdiction has approved
             indemnification with regard to such amounts or expenses.

         Pursuant to Article VI of the Corporation's Bylaws, expenses incurred
by any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation with respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the
character described in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be
advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it
shall be ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
Indemnification and advancement of expenses pursuant to Article VI of the
Corporation's Bylaws is not exclusive of any rights to which any such director,
officer, employee or other person may otherwise be entitled by contract or by
law.

         The Corporation carries insurance policies insuring its liability to
officers and directors under the foregoing indemnity and insuring its officers
and directors against liability incurred in their capacity as such.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                 (1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales
              are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
              statement:

                 (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                 the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                 arising after the effective date of the registration statement
                 (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                 individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                 change in the information set forth in the registration
                 statement;



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7


                 (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the
                 plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                 registration statement or any material change to such
                 information in the registration statement;

                provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs
             (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be
             included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
             contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
             Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
             that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

                 (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability
             under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective
             amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
             relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
             such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
             bona fide offering thereof.

                 (3)      To remove from registration by means of a
             post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
             which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

                 (4)      That, for purposes of determining any liability under
             the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual
             report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
             Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
             filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
             Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
             incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be
             deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
             securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
             that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
             thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   May 3, 1995

To the Board of Directors of
Georgia-Pacific Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

             As Senior Vice President - Law and General Counsel of
Georgia-Pacific Corporation (the "Corporation"), I have reviewed the
proceedings relative to the authorization of the 1995 Shareholder Value
Incentive Plan (the "Plan") of the Corporation pursuant to which the
Corporation has granted and proposes to grant to certain officers and key
employees options to purchase up to 8,100,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
$.80 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

             I am of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon 
the exercise of such options pursuant to the Plan as described in the 
Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, have been duly
authorized and, when issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, will
be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  I hereby consent
to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement.

             I am a member of the bar of the State of New York and do not hold 
myself out to be an expert on the laws of any other state.  I express no 
opinion on the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the States of 
New York and Georgia and the federal laws of the United States.  In rendering 
the foregoing opinion, I have relied as to opinions expressed above, upon an 
opinion of even date herewith addressed to me by an attorney in the Law 
Department of the Corporation licensed to practice law in the State of Georgia, 
which opinion contains no qualifications or assumptions (other than those which 
limit such opinions solely to matters of Georgia law) not contained in this 
opinion.  

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ James F. Kelley
                                        James F. Kelley
                                        Senior Vice President - Law
                                        and General Counsel
