$0.80 per share ("Timber Stock") in exchange for all of the outstanding shares
of each of the Spincos by issuing one unit (a "Unit"), consisting of one share
of common stock of each Spinco, for each share of Timber Stock then outstanding
and (ii) each of the Spincos will merge with and into Plum Creek, with Plum

Creek special voting common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Plum Creek
Special Voting Common Stock"), respectively, representing, in the aggregate,

share of Plum Creek Special Voting Common Stock is converted into Plum Creek
Common Stock), have agreed, pursuant to a Voting Agreement and Consent dated as
of July 18, 2000 by and among Plum Creek, Georgia-Pacific and the
Securityholders (the "Voting Agreement"), subject to the terms and conditions
contained therein, to vote to
