                        OMNIBUS MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

      THIRD AMENDMENT (this "Third Amendment"), to the Omnibus Management
Incentive Plan of USG Corporation originally approved by the stockholders of the
Corporation on May 14, 1997, and last amended on June 27, 2000 (collectively,

amended as set forth below:

      1.    The penultimate sentence of Section 4 of the Plan is hereby amended
            in its entirety to read as follows:

            "Annual incentive awards may be in the form of cash payments, stock
            awards or a combination thereof, provided, however, that the
            aggregate value of an annual incentive award to an individual may
            not exceed two times such individual's base salary at the
            commencement of the relevant annual performance period".

      2.    Except as expressly amended and modified by this Third Amendment,
            the Plan is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Third Amendment to be
executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized as of the 10th day of August,
2004.
