conditions of any Award at any time or from time to time pursuant to this Plan,
to grant waivers of the restrictions set forth in this Plan and to adopt, alter
and repeal such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as
it may deem necessary or proper, all of which powers shall be exercised in the
best interests of the Company and in keeping with the objectives of this Plan.
The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent the
Committee deems necessary or desirable to carry it into effect. Any decision of
the Committee in the interpretation and administration of this Plan shall lie
within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final conclusive and
binding on all parties concerned. No member of the Committee or officer of the
Company to whom it has delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 6 of this Plan shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done
by him or her, by any member of the Committee or by any officer of the Company
in connection with the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his
or her own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute.

     6. Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate to the Chief
Executive Officer and to other senior officers of the Company its duties under
this Plan pursuant to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may
establish, except that the Committee may not delegate to any person the
authority to grant Awards to, or take other action with respect to, Participants
who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

     7. Awards. The Committee shall determine the type or types of Awards to be
made to each Participant under this Plan. Each Award made hereunder shall be
embodied in an Award Agreement, which shad contain such terms, conditions and
limitations as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and
shall be signed by the Participant and by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief
Operating Officer, or any Vice President of the Company for and on behalf of the
Company. Awards may consist of those listed in this Paragraph 7 and may be
granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards may also be made in
combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, grants
or rights under this Plan or any other employee plan of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, including the plan of any acquired entity. An Award may
provide for the granting or issuance of additional replacement or alternative
Awards upon the occurrence of specified events, including the exercise of the
original Award.

          (a) Stock Option. An Award may consist of a right to purchase a
specified number of shares of Common Stock at a specified price that is not less
than the par value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. A
stock option may be in the form of an incentive stock option ("ISO") which, in
addition to being subject to applicable terms, conditions and limitations
established by the Committee, complies with Section 422 of the Code. A stock
option shad not be treated as an ISO unless the Award Agreement so states.

          (b) Stock Appreciation Right. An Award may consist of a right to
receive a payment, in cash or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair
Market Value or other specified

                                        3

<PAGE>   4

valuation of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date the stock
appreciation right ("SAR") is exercised over a specified strike price as set
forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

          (c) Stock Award. An Award may consist of Common Stock or may be
denominated in units of Common Stock. All or part of any stock award may be
subject to conditions established by the Committee, and set forth in the Award
Agreement, which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with
the Company and its Subsidiaries, achievement of specific business objectives,
increases in specified indices, attaining specified growth rates and other
comparable measurements of performance. Such Awards may be based on Fair Market
Value or other specified valuations. The certificates evidencing shares of
Common Stock issued in connection with a stock award shall contain appropriate
legends and restrictions describing the terms and conditions of the restrictions
applicable thereto.

          (d) Cash Award. An Award may be denominated in cash with the amount of
the eventual payment subject to future service and such other restrictions and
conditions as may be established by the Committee, and set forth in the Award
Agreement, including, but not limited to, continuous service with the Company
and its Subsidiaries, achievement of specific business objectives, increases in
specified indices, attaining specified growth rates and other comparable
measurements of performance.

     8. Payment of Awards.

          (a) General. Payment of Awards may be made in the form of cash or
Common Stock or combinations thereof and may include such restrictions as the
Committee shall determine, including in the case of Common Stock, restrictions
on transfer and forfeiture provisions. As used herein, "Restricted Stock" means
Common Stock that is restricted or subject to forfeiture provisions.

          (b) Deferral. With the approval of the Committee, payments may be
deferred, either in the form of installments or a future lump sum payment. The
Committee may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payments of some or
all types of Awards in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.
Any deferred payment, whether elected by the Participant or specified by the
Award Agreement or by the Committee, may be forfeited if and to the extent that
the Award Agreement so provides.

          (c) Dividends and Interest. Dividends or dividend equivalent rights
may be extended to and made part of any Award denominated in Common Stock or
units of Common Stock, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the
Committee may establish. The Committee may also establish rules and procedures
for the crediting of interest on deferred cash payments and dividend equivalents
for deferred payment denominated in Common Stock or units of Common Stock.

                                        4

<PAGE>   5

          (d) Substitution of Awards. At the discretion of the Committee, a
Participant may be offered an election to substitute an Award for another Award
or Awards of the same or different type.

     9. Stock Option Exercise. The price at which shares of Common Stock may be
purchased under a stock option shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in
cash or, if permitted by the Committee, by means of tendering Common Stock or
surrendering another Award, including Restricted Stock, valued at Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise, or any combination thereof. The Committee shall
determine acceptable methods for tendering Common Stock or other Awards to
exercise a stock option as it deems appropriate. The Committee may provide for
loans from the Company to permit the exercise or purchase of Awards and may
provide for procedures to permit the exercise or purchase of Awards by use of
the proceeds to be received from the sale of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
an Award. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the
event shares of Restricted Stock are tendered as consideration for the exercise
of a stock option, a number of the shares issued upon the exercise of the stock
option, equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration
therefor, shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock so
submitted as well as any additional restrictions that may be imposed by the
Committee.

     10. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable
taxes from any Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of
cash or shares of Common Stock under this Plan, an appropriate amount of cash or
number of shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof for payment of taxes
required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion
of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The
Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the
Company of shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Award
with respect to which withholding is required. If shares of Common Stock are
used to satisfy tax withholding, such shares shall be valued based on the Fair
Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made.

     11. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board may
amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or
addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted
by law except that (i) no amendment or alteration that would impair the rights
of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall
be made without such Participant's consent and (ii) no amendment or alteration
shall be effective prior to approval by the Company's stockholders to the extent
such approval is then required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 in order to preserve the
applicability of any exemption provided by such rule to any Award then
outstanding (unless the holder of such Award consents) or to the extent
stockholder approval is otherwise required by applicable legal requirements.

     12. Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of employment by a
Participant, any unexercised, deferred or unpaid Awards shall be treated as
provided in the specific Award Agreement evidencing the Award. In the event of
such a termination, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide for the
extension of the exercisability of an Award, accelerate the vesting of an

                                        5

<PAGE>   6

Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions contained in an Award
or otherwise amend or modify the Award in any manner not adverse to such
Participant.

     13. Assignability. No Award or any other benefit under this Plan
constituting a derivative security within the meaning of Rule 16a-l(c) under the
Exchange Act shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, or the rules thereunder. The Committee may prescribe and include
in applicable Award Agreements other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted
assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this
Paragraph 13 shall be null and void.

     14. Adjustments.

          (a) The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any manner
the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any
or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the
capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of
the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference
stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the
Common Stock) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or
transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate
act or proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of
the acts or proceedings enumerated above.

          (b) In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding
shares of Common Stock or declaration of a dividend or distribution payable in
shares of Common Stock or capital reorganization or reclassification or other
transaction involving an increase or reduction in the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Committee may adjust proportionally (i) the number
of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan and covered by outstanding
Awards denominated in Common Stock or units of Common Stock; (ii) the exercise
or other price in respect of such Awards; and (iii) the appropriate Fair Market
Value and other price determinations for such Awards. In the event of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity or the
adoption by the Company of a plan of exchange affecting the Common Stock or any
distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (other than
normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Common Stock), the Committee shall
make such adjustments or other provisions as it may deem equitable, including
adjustments to avoid fractional shares, to give proper effect to such event. In
the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or
stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee shall be
authorized to issue or assume stock options, regardless of whether in a
transaction to which Section 425(a) of the Code applies, by means of
substitution of new options for previously issued options or an assumption of
previously issued options, or to make provision for the acceleration of the
exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, Awards and the
termination of unexercised options in connection with such transaction.

                                        6

<PAGE>   7

          15. Restrictions. No Common Stock or other form of payment shall be
issued with respect to any Award unless the Company shall be satisfied based on
the advice of its counsel that such issuance will be in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws. It is the intent of the Company
that this Plan comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3, that any ambiguities or
inconsistencies in the construction of this Plan be interpreted to give effect
to such intention, and that if any provision of this Plan is found not to be in
compliance with Rule 16b-3, such provision shall be null and void to the extent
required to permit this Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3. Certificates evidencing
shares of Common Stock delivered under this Plan may be subject to such stop
transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under
the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any securities exchange or transaction reporting system upon which
the Common Stock is then listed and any applicable federal and state securities
law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed upon any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

          16. Unfunded Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping
accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are entitled to
cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan, any such accounts shall be
used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to
segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by cash, Common Stock
or rights thereto, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such
segregation, nor shall the Company nor the Board nor the Committee be deemed to
be a trustee of any cash, Common Stock or rights thereto to be granted under
this Plan. Any liability or obligation of the Company to any Participant with
respect to a grant of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan shall
be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by this
Plan and any Award Agreement, and no such liability or obligation of the Company
shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property
of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee shall be
required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that
may be created by this Plan.

          17. Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions
taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory
provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

          18. Effective Date of Plan. This Plan shall be effective as of the
date (the "Effective Date") it is approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company, in place immediately following its reorganization, as contemplated
under that certain Plan of Reorganization of the Company, its
debtor-subsidiaries, and the official joint committee of unsecured creditors
dated November 23, 1992. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adoption of this
Plan is expressly conditioned upon the approval by the holders of a majority of
shares of Common Stock present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a
meeting of the Company's stockholders held on or before March 31, 1993. If the
stockholders of the Company should fail so to approve this Plan prior to such
date, this Plan shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect
and all grants of Awards hereunder shall be null and void.

                         Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan")

Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel for Insilco Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Insilco"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), filed by Insilco with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect
to the registration of an additional 500,000 shares of Insilco Common Stock,
$.001 par value (the "Shares"), to be issued under the Plan.

          In connection with this opinion, we have examined such corporate
records, documents and other instruments of the registrant as we have deemed
necessary.

          Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares will,
when issued and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and entitled to the benefits of
the Plan.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            /s/ Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur
