acquiring corporation will perform the obligations of the applicable Reorganized
Debtor pursuant to the Plan to pay or otherwise satisfy the Allowed Claims

Debtors shall have no further interests therein or rights or obligations with
respect thereto other than the right of the Reorganized Debtors to recover the
Litigation Trust Reimbursement Obligation as set forth in SECTION 5.8(e) hereof.
57

(c) THE LITIGATION TRUST
(i) Without any further action of the directors or
shareholders of the Debtors, on the Effective Date,
the Litigation Trust Agreement in the form of
EXHIBIT C, to be filed no later than five (5)
Business Days prior to the Disclosure Statement
Hearing, as it may be amended up to ten (10)
Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline,
shall become effective. The Litigation Trustee
shall accept the Litigation Trust and sign the
Litigation Trust Agreement as of the Effective Date
and the Litigation Trust will then be deemed
created and effective.
(ii) The Litigation Trustee shall have full authority to
take any steps necessary to administer the
Litigation Trust Agreement, including, without
limitation, the duty and obligation to liquidate
Litigation Trust Assets, to make distributions
therefrom to the holders of Allowed Claims in
Classes 4, 5, 6A, 6B, and 7 and to pursue and
settle any of the rights and claims with respect to
the Litigation Trust Assets.
(iii) All costs and expenses associated with the
administration of the Litigation Trust, including
those rights, obligations and duties described in
this SECTION 5.8, shall be the responsibility of
and paid by the Litigation Trust. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall make
available to the Litigation Trustee and to
representatives of the Litigation Trust reasonable
access during normal business hours, upon
reasonable notice, personnel and books and records
of the Reorganized Debtors to enable the Litigation
Trustee to perform the Litigation Trustee's tasks
under the Litigation Trust Agreement and the Plan;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Reorganized Debtors
shall not be required to make expenditures in
response to such requests determined by them in
good faith to be unreasonable.
(iv) The Litigation Trustee may retain such law firms,
accounting firms, experts, advisors, consultants,
investigators, appraisers, auctioneers or other
professionals as it may deem necessary, in its sole
discretion, to aid in the performance of its
responsibilities pursuant to the terms of the Plan
including, without limitation, the liquidation and
distribution of Litigation Trust Assets.
(v) For federal income tax purposes, it is intended
that the Litigation Trust be classified as a
liquidating trust under Section 301.7701-4 of the
Treasury Regulations and that such trust is owned
by its beneficiaries. Accordingly, for federal
income tax purposes, it is intended that the
beneficiaries be treated as if they had received a
58
<Page>
distribution of an undivided interest in the
Litigation Trust Assets and then contributed such
interests to the Litigation Trust.
(vi) The Litigation Trustee shall be responsible for
filing all federal, state and local tax returns for
the Litigation Trust.
(vii) The Litigation Trustee may invest the corpus of the
Litigation Trust in prudent investments in addition
to those described in Section 345 of the Bankruptcy
Code.
(viii) The Litigation Trustee may be removed by the
Bankruptcy Court for cause shown. In the event of
the resignation or removal of the Litigation
Trustee, the Bankruptcy Court shall designate a
person to serve as successor Litigation Trustee.
(d) FUNDING OF THE LITIGATION TRUST
The Debtors shall deliver the Litigation Trust Initial Deposit to the
Litigation Trustee on the Effective Date. The Litigation Trustee shall use the
Litigation Trust Initial Deposit consistent with the purpose of the Litigation
Trust and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Litigation
Trust Agreement.
(e) DISTRIBUTIONS OF LITIGATION TRUST ASSETS
The Litigation Trustee shall make distributions of Litigation Trust
Recoveries in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement. The Litigation
Trust Agreement shall provide for distributions to be made as soon as
practicable after receipt of Litigation Trust Recoveries as follows: (i) first,
to pay the Litigation Trust Expenses; (ii) second, to repay the Litigation Trust
Reimbursement Obligation until such time as the Litigation Trust Reimbursement
Obligation is paid in full; and (iii) third, to (a) holders of Allowed Claims in
each of Classes 4, 5, 6A and 6B (and reserving for holders of Disputed Claims in
each of such Classes) in accordance with SECTIONS 3.3(b), 3.3(c), 3.3(d) and
3.3(e) of the Plan, and, (b) the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust for distribution
in accordance with SECTION 3.3(f) of the Plan.
5.9 Revesting of Assets
Pursuant to Section 1141(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property of the
respective Estate of each Debtor, together with any property of each Debtor that
is not property of its Estate and that is not specifically disposed of pursuant
to the Plan, shall revest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor on the Effective
Date. Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors may operate their businesses and may
use, acquire and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Bankruptcy Court. As of the Effective Date,
all property of each Reorganized Debtor shall be free and clear of all
Encumbrances, Claims and Interests, except as specifically provided in the Plan
or the Confirmation Order. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Reorganized Debtor may, without application to or approval by the
Bankruptcy Court, pay fees that it incurs after the Effective Date for
professional services and expenses.

5.10 Rights of Action
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or in
any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement entered into in
connection with the Plan, in accordance with Section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce, sue on, settle or
compromise (or decline to do any of the foregoing) all rights, claims, causes of
action, suits or proceedings accruing to the Debtors or the Estates pursuant to
the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any statute or legal theory, including,
without limitation, any avoidance or recovery actions under Sections 544, 545,
547, 548, 549, 550, 551 and 553 of the Bankruptcy Code and any suits or
proceedings for recovery under any policies of insurance issued to or on behalf
of the Debtors. Except to the extent such rights, title and interest in the
Litigation Trust Assets are transferred and assigned to the Litigation Trust,
the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed the appointed representative to, and may
pursue, litigate, compromise and settle any such rights, claims, causes of
action, suits or proceedings as appropriate, in accordance with the best
interests of the Reorganized Debtors or their respective successors who hold
such rights. The Reorganized Debtors will transfer and assign, or cause to be
transferred and assigned, all their right, title and interest in and to the
Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust in accordance with SECTION 5.8,
or, if deemed necessary, any right, title and interest in and to Litigation
Trust Assets shall be pursued in the name of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors for the benefit of the Litigation Trust. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, the Debtors, upon such transfer and assignment, shall
forgo any interest they may have in the Litigation Trust Assets, except with
respect to the Litigation Trust Reimbursement Obligation.
5.11 Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions
The chairman of the OCD Board of Directors, the chief executive officer,
chief restructuring officer, president, chief financial officer or any other
appropriate officer of OCD or any applicable Debtor, as the case may be, shall
be authorized to execute, deliver, file or record such contracts, instruments,
releases, indentures and other agreements or documents, and take such actions as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and
conditions herein. The secretary or assistant secretary of OCD or any applicable
Debtor, as the case may be, shall be authorized to certify or attest to any of
the foregoing actions.
5.12 Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes
Pursuant to Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers in the
United States from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or any other Person or
entity pursuant to the Plan shall not be subject to any document recording tax,
stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act,
real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax or other similar tax or
governmental assessment, and the Confirmation Order shall direct the appropriate
state or local governmental officials or agents to forego the collection of any
such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any
of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such
tax or governmental assessment.

compensation and benefit programs of the Debtors as amended or modified,
including programs subject to Sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy
Code, entered into before or after the Petition Date and not since terminated,
shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, executory
contracts that are assumed except for (i) executory contracts or plans
specifically rejected pursuant to the Plan, and (ii) executory contracts or
plans as have previously been rejected, are the subject of a motion to reject or

ARTICLE VI
SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION FOR PURPOSES OF TREATING IMPAIRED CLAIMS
AND PROCESS FOR RESOLUTION OF KEY ISSUES
6.1 Substantive Consolidation
(a) The Debtors (but not the Fibreboard Insurance Settlement Trust)
all shall be substantively consolidated for the purposes of voting, determining
which Claims and Interests will be entitled to vote to accept or reject the
Plan, confirmation of the Plan and the resultant discharge of and cancellation
of Claims and Interests and distribution of assets, interests and other property
under the terms herein. Subject to SECTION 5.6, substantive consolidation under
the Plan will not result in the merger of or the transfer or commingling of any
assets of any of the Debtors or Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, and, subject to SECTION
5.6, all assets (whether tangible or intangible) will continue to be owned by
the respective Debtors or Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, as the case may be. In that
regard, OC intends to implement a restructuring plan which would reorganize OCD
and its Subsidiaries along OC's major business lines. The planning for this
restructuring is in a preliminary stage. The Restructuring Transactions are
summarized in Appendix G to the Disclosure Statement and may be amended up to
ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline. The Debtors will file a
summary of the corporate actions necessary to accomplish the Restructuring
Transactions at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline.
(b) On the Effective Date and for purposes set forth in Subsection
(a), (i) all assets and liabilities of each Subsidiary Debtor (excluding the
Fibreboard Insurance Settlement Trust) will be treated as though they were
merged into and with the assets and liabilities of OCD; (ii) except as otherwise
provided in the Plan, no distributions will be made under the Plan on account of
Intercompany Claims among any of the Debtors; (iii) all guarantees of the
Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor will be deemed eliminated, so
that any claim against any such Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any
other such Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of such Debtors will
be deemed to be one obligation of the Debtors with respect to the consolidated
estate. Such substantive consolidation will not (other than for purposes of the
Plan) affect (i) the legal and corporate structures of the Reorganized Debtors,
subject to the right of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to effect
Restructuring Transactions as provided in SECTION 5.6, (ii) Intercompany Claims,
(iii) Subsidiary Interests or (iv) pre- and post-Petition Date guarantees that
are required to be maintained in connection with executory contracts or
unexpired leases that have been or will be assumed pursuant to the Plan.
65

ARTICLE VII
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS
AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
7.1 Assumed Contracts and Leases
(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract,
instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in
connection with the Plan, as of the Effective Date, each Debtor shall be deemed
to have assumed each executory contract and unexpired lease to which it is a
party, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by
such Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms,
(iii) is the subject of a motion pending before the Bankruptcy Court as of the
Confirmation Date to assume or reject such contract or lease or (iv) is listed
on SCHEDULE IV, to be filed at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
Objection Deadline, as being an executory contract or unexpired lease to be
rejected; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Plan Proponents reserve the right, at any
time prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend SCHEDULE IV to add or delete any
unexpired lease or executory contract. The Confirmation Order shall constitute
an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code
approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the
Effective Date.
(b) Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed and
relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property shall
include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other
agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument or other
document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease
and (ii) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the
premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges,
immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs,
reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or
franchises and any other interests in real estate or rights IN REM related to
such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant
to an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
7.2 Payments Related to Assumption of Contracts and Leases
Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease
to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default will be satisfied, under
Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtors or the
assignee of a Debtor assuming such contract or lease, by Cure. If there is a
dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of a
Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future
performance" (within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under
the contract or lease to be assumed or (iii) any other matter pertaining to
assumption, Cure will occur following the entry of a Final Order of the
Bankruptcy Court resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or
assumption and assignment, as the case may be. The Confirmation Order shall
contain provisions for notices of proposed assumptions and proposed Cure amounts
to be sent to applicable third parties and for procedures for objecting thereto
and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. If no proposed Cure amount
is proposed by the Debtors, it shall be presumed
66
<Page>
that the Debtors are asserting that no Cure amount is required to be paid under
Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
7.3 Rejected Contracts and Leases
On the Effective Date, each executory contract and unexpired lease that is
listed on SCHEDULE IV, shall be rejected pursuant to Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code. Each contract or lease listed on SCHEDULE IV shall be rejected
only to the extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory
contract or unexpired lease. The Plan Proponents reserve their right, at any
time prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend SCHEDULE IV to delete any
unexpired lease or executory contract therefrom or add any unexpired lease or
executory contract thereto. To the extent that an executory contract or
unexpired lease (i) is not listed on SCHEDULE IV, (ii) has not been previously
rejected or (iii) is not subject to a motion to reject at the time of the
Confirmation Date, such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed
assumed. Listing a contract or lease on SCHEDULE IV shall not constitute an
admission by a Debtor nor a Reorganized Debtor that such contract or lease is an
executory contract or unexpired lease or that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor
has any liability thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, any agreement
entered into prior to the Petition Date by or on behalf of the Debtors with a
holder of an Asbestos Personal Injury Claim with respect to the settlement of
any OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claim or FB Asbestos Personal Injury Claim shall
be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date to the extent such settlement
agreement is deemed to be an executory contract within the meaning of Section
365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order
of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections as of the Effective Date,
pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
7.4 Rejection Damages Bar Date
If the rejection by a Debtor, pursuant to the Plan, of an executory
contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim, then such Claim shall be forever
barred and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or
the properties of any of them, unless a Proof of Claim is filed and served upon
counsel to the Debtors, counsel to the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and
counsel to the Asbestos Claimants' Committee, within thirty (30) days after
service of the notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been
rejected.
7.5 Indemnification Obligations
Indemnification Obligations shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as
though they are, executory contracts that are assumed pursuant to Section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code under the Plan and such obligations shall survive
confirmation of the Plan, remain unaffected by the Plan and shall not be
discharged or impaired by the Plan, irrespective of whether indemnification or
reimbursement obligation is owed in connection with an event occurring before,
on or after the Petition Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise
provided in this Plan, indemnification obligations that are not Indemnification
Obligations within the meaning of SECTION 1.123 hereof shall be deemed to be,
and shall be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are rejected
pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.
67
<Page>
7.6 Insurance Policies and Agreements
(a) ASSUMED INSURANCE POLICIES AND AGREEMENTS. The Debtors do
not believe that the insurance policies issued to, or insurance agreements
entered into by, the Debtors prior to the Petition Date constitute executory
contracts. To the extent that such insurance policies or agreements are
considered to be executory contracts, then, notwithstanding anything contained
in SECTION 7.1 or 7.3 of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall constitute a
motion to assume such insurance policies and agreements, and, subject to the
occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall
constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to Section 365(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption
is in the best interest of each Debtor, its Estate, and all parties in interest
in the Chapter 11 Cases. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court
pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the
Effective Date, no payments are required to cure any defaults of the Debtors
existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy
or agreement. To the extent that the Bankruptcy Court determines otherwise as to
any such insurance policy or agreement, the Debtors reserve the right to seek
rejection of such insurance policy or agreement or other available relief. In
accordance with SECTIONS 10.3 AND 11.3 of the Plan, the rights under the
insurance policies and agreements constituting (i) the OC Asbestos Personal
Injury Liability Insurance Assets shall, to the extent necessary, be deemed
assigned to the OC Sub-Account of the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust as of the
Effective Date and (ii) the FB Asbestos Property Damage Insurance Assets shall,
to the extent necessary, be deemed assigned to the FB Asbestos Property Damage
Trust as of the Effective Date, and, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Debtors shall have no further liability thereunder from and after June
18, 2001.
(b) REJECTED INSURANCE POLICIES AND AGREEMENTS
To the extent that any or all of the insurance policies and
agreements set forth on SCHEDULE XI, to be filed no later than ten (10) Business
days prior to the Objection Deadline, are considered to be executory contracts,
then, notwithstanding anything contained in SECTION 7.1 or 7.3 of the Plan to
the contrary, the Plan shall constitute a motion to reject the insurance
policies and agreements set forth on SCHEDULE XI, and the entry of the
Confirmation Order by the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute
approval of such rejection pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and
a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such rejected insurance policy or
agreement set forth on SCHEDULE XI is burdensome and that the rejection thereof
is in the best interest of each Debtor, its estate, and all parties in interest
in the Chapter 11 Cases.
(c) RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
Nothing contained in the Plan, including this SECTION 7.6, shall
constitute a waiver of any claim, right, or cause of action that the Debtors,
the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust, or
the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, may hold against the insurer under
any policy of insurance or insurance agreement.

8.1 Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Initial Distribution
Date
Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court,
distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the
Initial Distribution Date shall be made on, or as soon as practicable after, the
Initial Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
distributions on account of Administrative Claims that are Allowed Claims as of
the Effective Date shall be made on, or as soon as practicable after, the
Effective Date, with no action to enforce a right to such payment until at least
thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, distributions on account of (i) Class 7 and 8 Claims shall be made
in accordance with the terms or conditions of the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust
Agreement and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures, and
(ii) Class 9 Claims shall be made in accordance with the terms or conditions of
the FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust Agreement and the FB Asbestos Property
Damage Trust Distribution Procedures. Distributions on account of Claims that
first become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to
SECTION 9.4 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the date on which any distribution of
New OCD Securities is actually made to a holder of a Claim that is an Allowed
Claim on the Initial Distribution Date, as of the date of the distribution such
holder shall be deemed to have the rights of a holder of such securities
distributed as of the Initial Distribution Date.
8.2 Interest on Claims
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation
Order, or the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures, or
required by applicable bankruptcy law, post-petition interest shall not accrue
or be paid on Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest
accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim. Interest shall not accrue
or be paid upon any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Petition
Date to the date a final distribution is made thereon if and after such Disputed
Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
8.3 Distributions under the Plan
(a) The Disbursing Agent or, in the case of the Bondholders Claims,
the appropriate Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, shall make all distributions
required under the Plan, except to holders of Asbestos Personal Injury Claims
and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims. Asbestos Personal Injury Claims shall be
satisfied in accordance with the distribution procedures described in the
Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Agreement and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust
Distribution Procedures. FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims shall be satisfied
in accordance with the distribution procedures described in the FB Asbestos
Property Damage Trust Agreement and the FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust
Distribution Procedures.
(b) If the Disbursing Agent is an independent third party
designated by the Reorganized Debtors to serve in such capacity, such Disbursing
Agent will be entitled to receive,
69
<Page>
without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for
distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan as well as reimbursement of
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with rendering such
services from the Reorganized Debtors on terms acceptable to the Reorganized
Debtors. No Disbursing Agent will be required to give any bond or surety or
other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the
Bankruptcy Court.
8.4 Record Date for Distributions to Holders of Bank Holders Claims and
Bondholders Claims
At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer
records for the Bank Holders Claims and Bondholders Claims will be closed, and
there shall be no further changes in the record holders of Bank Holders Claims
or Bondholders Claims. None of the Reorganized Debtors, the Disbursing Agent, if
any, CSFB, as agent for the Bank Holders nor the applicable Pre-petition
Indenture Trustee under the Pre-petition Bond Indenture for the Bondholders will
have any obligation to recognize any transfer of Allowed Bank Holders Claims or
Allowed Bondholders Claims, as applicable, occurring after the Distribution
Record Date, and they will be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all
purposes hereunder with only those record holders as of the close of business on
the Distribution Record Date.
Distributions to holders of Bondholder Claims administered by the
Pre-petition Indenture Trustees will be made by means of book-entry exchange
through the facilities of the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") in accordance
with the customary practices of the DTC, as and to the extent practicable. In
connection with such book-entry exchange, each Pre-petition Indenture Trustee
will deliver instructions to the DTC directing the DTC to effect distributions
(net of Pre-petition Indenture Trustee fees and expenses) on a PRO RATA basis as
provided under the Plan with respect to the Bondholder Claims upon which such
Indenture Trustee acts as trustee.
8.5 Means of Cash Payment
Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in United States funds by
means agreed to by the payor and the payee, including by check or wire transfer,
or, in the absence of an agreement, such commercially reasonable manner as the
payor shall determine in its sole discretion.
8.6 Fractional New OCD Common Stock; Other Distributions
(a) No fractional shares of New OCD Common Stock will be issued or
distributed under the Plan. If any distribution pursuant to the Plan would
otherwise result in the issuance of New OCD Common Stock that is not a whole
number, the actual distribution of shares of such stock shall be rounded to the
next higher or lower whole number as follows: (i) fractions of greater than
one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next higher whole number, and (ii)
fractions of one-half (1/2) or less shall be rounded to the next lower whole
number. The total number of shares of New OCD Common Stock and the Senior Notes
to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to account
for the rounding provided for herein.
(b) No consideration shall be provided in lieu of fractional shares
that are rounded down. The Senior Notes will only be issued with a principal
amount in multiples of $1,000 or
70
<Page>
integral multiples thereof. The principal amount of the Senior Notes that would
have been distributed in amounts of other than $1,000 shall be rounded as
follows: (i) amounts equal to or less than $500 shall be reduced to $0.00 and
(ii) amounts greater than $500 shall be increased to $1,000.
(c) In addition, the payment of fractions of dollars shall not be
made. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would
otherwise be called for, the actual payment made shall reflect a rounding of the
fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up and down), with half dollars rounded
down.
(d) The Disbursing Agent, or any agent or servicer, as the case may
be, shall not make any payment of less than thirty dollars ($30.00) with respect
to any Claim.
8.7 Delivery of Distributions
Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4, 5,
6A and 6B shall be made by the Disbursing Agent or the applicable Pre-petition
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. If any holder's distribution is returned
as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made until
the Disbursing Agent (or Pre-petition Indenture Trustee as applicable) is
notified of such holder's then current address, at which time all missed
distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. Amounts in respect
of undeliverable distributions made by the Disbursing Agent (or the Pre-petition
Indenture Trustee as applicable) shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors
until such distributions are claimed. All the claims for undeliverable
distributions made by the Disbursing Agent or the Pre-petition Indenture
Trustee, as the case may be, must be made on or before the first (1st)
anniversary of the Effective Date, after which date all unclaimed property shall
revert to the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and the claim
of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property shall be
discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws
to the contrary. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Debtors,
Reorganized Debtors, any Disbursing Agent, the Administrative Agent for the Bank
Holders or any Pre-petition Indenture Trustee to attempt to locate any holder of
an Allowed Claim after the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date.
8.8 Surrender of Pre-petition Bonds
(a) PRE-PETITION BONDS
Except as provided in SECTION 8.8(b) hereof in connection with lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroyed Pre-petition Bonds, each holder of an Allowed
Claim evidenced by a Pre-petition Bond shall tender such Pre-petition Bond to
the respective Pre-petition Indenture Trustee in accordance with written
instructions to be provided in a letter of transmittal to such holders by the
Pre-petition Indenture Trustee as promptly as practicable following the
Effective Date. Such letter of transmittal shall specify that delivery of such
Pre-petition Bonds will be effected, and risk of loss and title thereto will
pass, only upon the proper delivery of such Pre-petition Bonds with the letter
of transmittal in accordance with such instructions. Such letter of transmittal
shall also include, among other provisions, customary provisions with respect to
the authority of the holder of the applicable note or Pre-petition Bonds to act
and the authenticity of any signatures
71
<Page>
required on the letter of transmittal. All surrendered Pre-petition Bonds shall
be marked as cancelled and delivered by the respective Pre-petition Indenture
Trustee to the Reorganized Debtors.
(b) LOST, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED PRE-PETITION BONDS
In addition to any requirements under the applicable certificate or
articles of incorporation or bylaws of the applicable Debtor, any holder of
indebtedness or obligation of a Debtor evidenced by a Pre-petition Bond that has
been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering the
Pre-petition Bond, deliver to the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee (i) evidence
satisfactory to the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee of the loss, theft,
mutilation or destruction; and (ii) such indemnity as may be required by the
Pre-petition Indenture Trustee to hold the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee
harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such
individual as a holder of a Pre-petition Bond.
(c) FAILURE TO SURRENDER CANCELLED PRE-PETITION BONDS
Any holder of a Pre-petition Bond that fails to surrender or be deemed to
have surrendered such Pre-petition Bond before the first (1st) anniversary of
the Effective Date shall have its Claim for a distribution on account of such
Pre-petition Bond discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such
Claim against any Reorganized Debtor or their respective property.
(d) DISTRIBUTIONS UPON RECEIPT OF PRE-PETITION BONDS
No distribution of property under the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of
any such holders unless and until such Pre-petition Bond is received by the
appropriate Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, or the unavailability of such
Pre-petition Bond is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the
appropriate Pre-petition Indenture Trustee or such requirement is waived by the
Reorganized Debtors.
8.9 Withholding and Reporting Requirements
In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, the
Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax
withholding and backup withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any
federal, state, provincial, local or foreign taxing authority, and all
distributions thereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting
requirements. The Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to take any and all
actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and
reporting requirements.
8.10 Setoffs
The Reorganized Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off against
any Claim and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the
Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors
or Reorganized Debtors may have against the holder of such Claim; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim
hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtors of any
such claim that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may have against such holder.

ARTICLE IX
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED,
CONTINGENT AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS AND DISPUTED INTERESTS
9.1 Prosecution of Objections to Certain Claims
(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, only the
Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent shall have the
authority to file objections to settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate
objections to Claims, other than with respect to (i) the applications for the
allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses of professionals under
Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, and
(iii) FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims.
(b) From and after the Confirmation Date, the Reorganized Debtors
or the Disbursing Agent may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
(c) All objections to Claims, other than Asbestos Personal Injury
Claims and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims, must be filed and served on the
holders of such Claims by the Claims Objection Deadline. Nothing contained
herein, however, shall limit the Debtors' or Reorganized Debtors' right to
object to any Claims, other than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and FB Asbestos
Property Damage Claims filed or amended after the Claims Objection Deadline. If
an objection has not been filed to a Proof of Claim or a scheduled Claim, other
than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims, by
the Claims Objection Deadline, the Claim to which the Proof of Claim or
scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has
not been Allowed earlier.
9.2 No Distributions Pending Allowance
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no payments or
distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed
Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled
or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order, and the Disputed Claim, or
some portion thereof, has become an Allowed Claim.
9.3 Disputed Distribution Reserve
(a) The Disbursing Agent shall establish appropriate reserves for
Disputed Claims by withholding the lesser of (i) 100% of distributions to which
holders of Disputed Claims would be entitled under the Plan if such Disputed
Claims were Allowed Claims, or (ii) such other amount as may be approved by the
Bankruptcy Court.
(b) On, or as soon as practicable after, the Initial Distribution
Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall transmit to the Disbursing Agent, and the
Disbursing Agent shall reserve for the account of each holder of a Disputed
Claim, (i) Cash, Senior Notes, New OCD Common Stock, or such other property
which would otherwise be distributable to such holder on such date in accordance
with the Plan were such Disputed Claim an Allowed Claim on such date, in the
Face Amount thereof, or (ii) Cash, Senior Notes, New OCD Common Stock, or such
other
73
<Page>
property of a lesser value as such holder and the Reorganized Debtors may agree.
Cash, Senior Notes, New OCD Common Stock, or such other property reserved under
this SECTION 9.3(b) shall be set aside and segregated by Class of Claims and, in
the case of Cash, Cash dividends or Cash payments in respect thereof, to the
extent practicable, held by the Disbursing Agent in an interest bearing escrow
fund (which may be a single account for each Class, PROVIDED, that separate book
entries for each Claim are maintained by the Disbursing Agent) to be established
and maintained by the Disbursing Agent pending resolution of such Disputed
Claims.
9.4 Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims Once They are Allowed
On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make
payments and distributions from the reserve established for Disputed Claims to
each holder of a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim during the
preceding calendar quarter. After the date that the order or judgment of the
Bankruptcy Court allowing such Claim becomes a Final Order, the Reorganized
Debtors shall distribute to the holder of such Claim any property in the reserve
established for Disputed Claims that would have been distributed to the holder
of such claim had such Claim been an Allowed Claim. Such distributions will be
made pursuant to the provisions of Article III governing the applicable Class.
Holders of such Claims that are ultimately Allowed will also be entitled to
receive, on the basis of the amount ultimately Allowed, the amount of any
dividends or other distributions received on account of the property in reserve
between the Effective Date and the date such distribution is made to such holder
of Claim.

enforceable and will be based on the following general findings of the
Bankruptcy Court, each of which will be contained in the Confirmation Order in
form and substance acceptable to the Plan Proponents:
(a) The Asbestos Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction is
to be implemented in connection with the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust and the
Plan.
(b) At the time of the order for relief with respect to OC and
Fibreboard, OC and Fibreboard had been named as defendants in personal injury,
wrongful death or property damage actions seeking recovery for damages allegedly
caused by the presence of, or exposure to, asbestos or asbestos-containing
products.
(c) The Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, as of the Effective Date,
will assume the liabilities of all of the OC Persons with respect to OC Asbestos
Personal Injury Claims, and upon such assumption, the Reorganized Debtors and
the OC Persons shall have no liability for any OC Asbestos Personal Injury
Claims.
(d) The Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, as of the Effective Date,
will assume the liabilities of all of the FB Persons with respect to FB Asbestos
Personal Injury Claims, and, upon such assumption, the Reorganized Debtors and
the FB Persons shall have no liability for any FB Asbestos Personal Injury
Claims.
(e) The OC Sub-Account of the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust is to
be funded in whole or in part with Cash, Senior Notes, New OCD Common Stock, the
OCD Insurance Escrow, the OC Asbestos Personal Injury Liability Insurance
Assets, distributable proceeds of the Litigation Trust Assets, and by the
obligation of Reorganized OCD to make future payments, including dividends.
80
<Page>
(f) The FB Sub-Account is to be funded in whole or in part with the
Existing Fibreboard Insurance Settlement Trust Assets, the FB Reversions, the
Committed Claims Account, and the FB-Sub-Account Settlement Payment.
(g) The Asbestos Personal Injury Trust is to own, upon the Initial
Distribution Date, a majority of the voting shares of Reorganized OCD.
(h) In light of the benefits provided, or to be provided, to the
Asbestos Personal Injury Trust on behalf of each Protected Party, the Asbestos
Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction is fair and equitable with
respect to the persons that might subsequently assert Asbestos Personal Injury
Claims against any Protected Party.
(i) Reorganized OCD and Reorganized Fibreboard are likely to be
subject to substantial Demands for payment arising out of the same or similar
conduct or events that gave rise to (a) OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and
(b) FB Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, respectively, that are addressed by the
Asbestos Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction.
(j) The actual amounts, numbers, and timing of such Demands cannot
be determined.
(k) Pursuit of such Demands outside the procedures prescribed by
the Plan is likely to threaten the Plan's purpose to deal equitably with Claims
and Demands.
(l) The terms of the Asbestos Personal Injury Permanent Channeling
Injunction, including any provisions barring actions against the Protected
Parties pursuant to Section 524(g)(4)(A), are set forth in the Plan and in any
disclosure statement supporting the Plan.
(m) The Plan establishes, in Classes 7 and 8, separate Classes of
claimants whose Claims are to be addressed by the Asbestos Personal Injury
Trust.
(n) Class 7 and Class 8 claimants have each voted, by at least 75
percent (75%) of those voting, in favor of the Plan.
(o) Pursuant to court orders or otherwise, the Asbestos Personal
Injury Trust will operate through mechanisms such as structured, periodic or
supplemental payments, PRO RATA distributions, matrices or periodic review of
estimates of the numbers and values of present Claims and Demands, or other
comparable mechanisms, that provide reasonable assurance that the Asbestos
Personal Injury Trust will value, and be in a financial position to pay, present
Claims and Demands that involve similar Claims in substantially the same manner.
(p) The Future Claimants' Representative was appointed as part of
the proceedings leading to the issuance of the Asbestos Personal Injury
Permanent Channeling Injunction for the purpose of protecting the rights of
persons that might subsequently assert Demands of the kind that are addressed in
the Asbestos Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction and channeled to
and assumed by the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust. The Future
81
<Page>
Claimants' Representative has in all respects fulfilled his duties,
responsibilities, and obligations as the future representative in accordance
with Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(q) Identifying or describing each Protected Party in the Asbestos
Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction is fair and equitable with
respect to persons that might subsequently assert Demands against each such
Protected Party, in light of the benefits provided, or to be provided, to the
Asbestos Personal Injury Trust by or on behalf of any such Protected Party.
(r) The Plan complies in all respects with Section 524(g) of the
Bankruptcy Code.
(s) The Asbestos Personal Injury Trust is to use its assets and
income to pay Asbestos Personal Injury Claims.
(t) The Plan and its Exhibits constitute a fair, equitable, and
reasonable resolution of the liabilities of the Debtors for FB Asbestos Property
Damage Claims.
(u) The Plan and its Exhibits constitute a fair, equitable, and
reasonable resolution of the liabilities of the Debtors for Asbestos Personal
Injury Claims.
(v) The confirmation and consummation of the Plan, including the
discharge of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan and the issuance of the injunction
channeling all FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims to the FB Asbestos Property
Damage Trust pursuant to Section 3.3(h) of the Plan, shall not provide the
insurers a defense to liability for insurance coverage based upon the alleged
elimination of the liability of the insured(s).
(w) The confirmation and consummation of the Plan, including the
discharge of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan and the issuance of Asbestos
Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction, shall not provide the insurers
a defense to liability for insurance coverage based upon the alleged elimination
of the liability of the insured(s).
(x) The duties and obligations of the insurers that issued policies
and their successors and assigns, or, with respect to any insolvent insurers,
their liquidators and/or the state insurance guaranty funds that bear
responsibility with respect to such rights under such policies which constitute
the FB Asbestos Property Damage Insurance Assets are not eliminated or
diminished by (i) the discharge, release and extinguishment of all the
liabilities of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan in
respect to the FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims; (ii) the assumption of
liability for the FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims by the FB Asbestos Property
Damage Trust; or (iii) the transfer pursuant to the Plan of the Debtors' rights
to the FB Asbestos Property Damage Insurance Assets to the extent determined and
permitted under applicable bankruptcy law.
(y) The duties and obligations of the insurers that issued policies
and their successors and assigns, or, with respect to any insolvent insurers,
their liquidators and/or the state insurance guaranty funds that bear
responsibility with respect to such rights under such policies which constitute
the OC Asbestos Personal Injury Liability Insurance Assets are not eliminated or

Injury Claims by the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust; or (iii) the transfer
pursuant to the Plan of the Debtors' rights to the OC Asbestos Personal Injury
Liability Insurance Assets to the extent determined and permitted under
applicable bankruptcy law.
(z) All insurers of the Debtors affording insurance coverage that
is the subject of the OC Asbestos Personal Injury Insurance Assets and all
insurers of the Debtors whose policies provide coverage for the FB Asbestos
Property Damage Claims have been given notice and an opportunity to be heard on
matters relating to the Plan and its Exhibits.

Assets, (c) the Existing Fibreboard Insurance Settlement Trust Assets, (d) the
FB Reversions and (e) the Committed Claims Account.

Trustee shall receive compensation of $[_____] per month. The fee payable for
the month in which the Effective Date occurs shall be payable on the first day
of the month following the Effective Date, and shall be prorated based on a
$[_____] monthly fee and calculated for the actual number of days during the
month that the Litigation Trustee has served. In all other cases, the fee will
be payable on the first business day of the month (being the first day on which
banking institutions in the [State of New York] are not authorized or required
by law or regulation to be closed) following the month for which service has
been rendered. Six months following the Effective Date, and annually thereafter,
the Board of Directors and the Litigation Trustee shall negotiate the amount and
payment terms of the compensation to the Litigation Trustee for the following
one-year period. If no agreement is reached, the parties may seek the
determination of the Bankruptcy Court (or the District Court in the event that
the District Court modifies the Reference Order to retain jurisdiction over the
Litigation Trust) as to reasonable compensation.] The compensation and
reimbursement of expenses of the Litigation Trustee shall be paid out of
Litigation Trust Assets.
(b) On or before the last day of each month following the month for
which compensation is sought, each of the Litigation Trustee's Professionals
seeking compensation shall serve a monthly statement on the Litigation Trustee,
and the Board of Directors. The Litigation Trustee, and the Board of Directors
will have fifteen (15) days from the date such statement is received to review
the statement and object to such statement by serving an objection setting forth

Professional. At the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period, the Litigation
Trust shall promptly pay 100% of the amounts requested, except for the portion
of such fees and disbursements to which an objection has been made. The parties
shall attempt to consensually resolve objections, if any, to any monthly
statement. If the parties are unable to reach a consensual resolution of any
such objection, the party who received an objection to its fees may seek payment
of such fees by filing a motion with the Bankruptcy Court (or the District Court
in the event that the District Court modifies the Reference Order to retain
jurisdiction over the Litigation Trust) and providing notice to the Litigation
Trustee. Any professional who fails to submit a monthly statement shall be
ineligible to receive further payment of fees and expenses as provided in this
Litigation Trust Agreement until the monthly statement is submitted.

security for the performance of any of its duties, unless otherwise ordered by

party or parties or, in the case of facsimile transmissions, to have been sent

SECTION 1
AGREEMENT OF TRUST
1.1 CREATION AND NAME. OC as Settlor hereby creates a trust known as the
Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust or PI Trust, which is provided for and
referred to in the Plan. The Trustees of the PI Trust may transact the business
and affairs of the PI Trust in the name of the PI Trust.
1.2 PURPOSE. The purpose of the PI Trust is to assume the liabilities of
OC and Fibreboard, their predecessors and successors in interest, for all PI
Trust Claims (as defined in the Plan), and to use the PI Trust Assets and income
to pay the holders of all PI Trust Claims in accordance with this PI Trust
Agreement and the TDP in such a way that such holders of PI Trust Claims are
treated fairly, equitably and reasonably in light of the limited assets
available to satisfy such claims, and to otherwise comply in all respects with
the requirements of a trust set forth in Section 524(g)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy
Code.
1.3 TRANSFER OF ASSETS. Pursuant to the Plan, the PI Trust Share (as
defined in the Plan) has been transferred and assigned to the PI Trust to settle
and discharge all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. Pursuant to the Plan, OC, its
successors in interest thereto, from and after the Effective Date ("Reorganized
OC") and others may also transfer and assign additional assets to the PI Trust
from time to time (the "PI Trust Assets"). In all events, the PI Trust Assets
will be transferred to the PI Trust free and clear of any liens or other claims
by OC, Reorganized OC, any creditor, or other entity. OC, Reorganized OC, and
any other transferors shall also execute and deliver such documents to the PI
Trust as the Trustees reasonably request to transfer and assign the PI Trust
Assets to the PI Trust.

behalf of the PI Trust, expressly assume all liability for all Asbestos Personal

recoupments, as well as rights of indemnification, contribution, subrogation,
and similar rights, regarding such claims that OC and Reorganized OC have or
would have had under applicable law. Regardless of the foregoing, however, a
claimant must meet otherwise applicable federal, state and foreign statutes of
limitations and repose, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(a)(2) of the
TDP.
(c) No provision herein or in the TDP shall be construed to mandate
distributions on any claims or other actions that would contravene the PI
Trust's compliance with the requirements of a qualified settlement fund within
the meaning of section 1.468B-1 ET SEQ. of the Treasury Regulations promulgated
under section 468B of the IRC.
(d) OC and Reorganized OC shall be entitled to indemnification from
the PI Trust for any expenses, costs, and fees (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs, but excluding any such expenses, costs, and fees incurred prior
to the Effective Date), judgments, settlements, or other liabilities arising
from or incurred in connection with any action related to OC and Fibreboard
Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, including, but not limited to, indemnification
or contribution for such claims prosecuted against Reorganized OC
5
<Page>
(e) Nothing in this PI Trust Agreement shall be construed in any way
to limit the scope, enforceability, or effectiveness of the Section 524(g)
injunction issued in connection with the Plan or the PI Trust's assumption of
all liability for PI Trust Claims, subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(b)
above.

Trust Agreement except, in the case of the PI Trust and the Trustees, as
contemplated by Section 2.1 above.
7.8 LIMITATION ON CLAIM INTERESTS FOR SECURITIES LAWS PURPOSES. PI Trust

relating to the subject matter of this PI Trust Agreement is contained herein
and in the documents referred to herein, and this PI Trust Agreement and such
documents supersede any prior oral or written agreements concerning the subject
matter hereof. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or

OWENS CORNING/FIBREBOARD
ASBESTOS PERSONAL INJURY TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES
The Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures ("TDP")
contained herein provide for resolving all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims for
which Owens Corning ("OC ") and/or its wholly owned subsidiary, Fibreboard
Corporation ("Fibreboard"), and their predecessors, successors, and assigns have
legal responsibility (respectively, OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claims ("OC
Claims") and Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Claims ("Fibreboard Claims"),
which terms are defined in the Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization for Owens
Corning and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession ("Plan")
(hereinafter collectively referred to in this TDP as "PI Trust Claims")). The
Plan and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Agreement ("PI Trust Agreement")
establish the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust (the "PI Trust"). The Trustees of
the PI Trust ("Trustees") shall implement and administer this TDP in accordance
with the PI Trust Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the PI Trust
Agreement.
SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE. This TDP has been adopted pursuant to the PI Trust Agreement.
It is designed to provide fair, equitable, and substantially similar treatment
for all PI Trust Claims that may presently exist or may arise in the future.
1.2 INTERPRETATION. Nothing in this TDP shall be deemed to create a
substantive right for any claimant.
SECTION II
OVERVIEW
<Page>
2.1 PI TRUST GOALS. The goal of the PI Trust is to treat all holders of PI
Trust Claims equitably and in accordance with the requirements of Section 524(g)
of the Bankruptcy Code. To achieve that goal, the PI Trust consists of two
separate Sub-Accounts, an OC Sub-Account for payment of OC Claims and a
Fibreboard Sub-Account for payment of Fibreboard Claims (together the "PI Trust
Sub-Accounts").
A claimant may assert separate claims against the OC Sub-Account and the
Fibreboard Sub-Account based on separate exposures to asbestos or
asbestos-containing products manufactured or distributed by OC and Fibreboard,
respectively ("Multiple Exposure Claims"); however, all such Multiple Exposure
Claims must be filed by the claimant at the same time. To the extent that the OC
Sub-Account and the Fibreboard Sub-Account each has separate liability to a
claimant based on Multiple Exposure Claims, each Sub-Account shall pay the
claimant the liquidated value of the separate claim for which it is liable,
subject to applicable Payment Percentage, Maximum Annual Payment, Maximum
Available Payment and Claims Payment Ratio limitations set forth below.
This TDP sets forth procedures for processing and paying all PI Trust
Claims from the two Sub-Accounts on an impartial, first-in-first-out ("FIFO")
basis, with the intention of paying all claimants over time as equivalent a
share as possible of the value of their claims based on historical values for
substantially similar claims in the tort system.(1) This TDP also establishes a
single schedule of eight asbestos-related diseases ("Disease Levels"), seven of
which have presumptive medical and exposure requirements ("Medical/Exposure
Criteria") that are applicable to both OC and Fibreboard Claims, as well as two
separate schedules with
- ----------
(1) As used in this TDP, the phrase "in the tort system" shall include only
claims asserted by way of litigation and not claims asserted against a trust
established pursuant to section 524(g) and/or section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code
or any other applicable law.
- 2 -
<Page>
liquidated values ("Scheduled Values"), anticipated average values ("Average
Values"), and caps on liquidated values ("Maximum Values") that are applicable
to OC Claims and Fibreboard Claims, respectively.
These Disease Levels, Medical/Exposure Criteria, Scheduled Values, Average
Values and Maximum Values, which are set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 below,
have all been selected and derived with the intention of achieving a fair
allocation of the assets held by the separate OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts as
among their respective claimants suffering from different disease processes in
light of the best available information considering the settlement histories of
OC and Fibreboard, and the rights that OC and Fibreboard claimants would have in
the tort system absent the bankruptcy.
2.2 CLAIMS LIQUIDATION PROCEDURES. PI Trust Claims shall be processed
based on their place in separate FIFO Processing Queues to be established for
each of the two PI Trust Sub-Accounts pursuant to Section 5.1(a) below. The PI
Trust shall take all reasonable steps to resolve OC and Fibreboard Claims as
efficiently and expeditiously as possible at each stage of claims processing and
arbitration. To this end, the PI Trust, in its sole discretion, may conduct
settlement discussions with claimants' representatives with respect to more than
one claim at a time, provided that the claimants' respective positions in the
FIFO Processing Queues are maintained, and each claim is individually evaluated
pursuant to the valuation factors set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) below. The PI
Trust shall also make every effort to resolve each year at least that number of
PI Trust Claims required to exhaust the Maximum Annual Payment and the Maximum
Available Payment for Category A and Category B claims, as those terms are
defined below.
- 3 -
<Page>
The PI Trust shall liquidate all OC and Fibreboard Claims except foreign
claims that meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria of Disease Levels I -
V, VII and VIII under the Expedited Review Process described in Section 5.3(a)
below. PI Trust Claims involving Disease Levels I - V, VII and VIII that do not
meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level
may undergo the PI Trust's Individual Review Process described in Section 5.3(b)
below. In such a case, notwithstanding that the claim does not meet the
presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level, the PI
Trust can offer the claimant an amount up to the Scheduled Value of that Disease
Level if the PI Trust is satisfied that the claimant has presented a claim that
would be cognizable and valid in the tort system.
OC and Fibreboard claimants holding PI Trust Claims involving Disease
Levels II - VIII may in addition or alternatively seek to establish liquidated
values for their claims that are greater than their Scheduled Values by electing
the PI Trust's Individual Review Process. However, the liquidated values of PI
Trust Claims that undergo the Individual Review Process for valuation purposes
may be determined to be less than the Scheduled Values, and in any event shall
not exceed the respective Maximum Values for the Disease Levels set forth for OC
and Fibreboard Claims in Section 5.3(b)(4) below, unless the claims qualify as
Extraordinary Claims as defined in Section 5.4(a) below, in which case their
liquidated value cannot exceed the Maximum Values specified in that provision
for such claims. OC and Fibreboard Level VI (Lung Cancer 2) Claims and all
foreign claims may be liquidated only pursuant to the PI Trust's Individual
Review Process.
Based upon OC 's and Fibreboard's claims settlement history in light of
applicable tort law, and current projections of present and future unliquidated
claims, the Scheduled Values
- 4 -
<Page>
and Maximum Values set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4) for OC and Fibreboard Claims,
respectively, have been established for each of the Disease Levels that are
eligible for Individual Review of their liquidated values, with the expectation
that the combination of settlements at the Scheduled Values and those resulting
from the Individual Review Process will result in the Average Values also set
forth in that provision.
All unresolved disputes over a claimant's medical condition, exposure
history and/or the liquidated value of the claim shall be subject to binding or
non-binding arbitration pursuant to Section 5.10 below, at the election of the
claimant, under the ADR Procedures that are provided in Attachment A hereto. PI
Trust Claims that are the subject of a dispute with the PI Trust that cannot be
resolved by non-binding arbitration may enter the tort system as provided in
Sections 5.11 and 7.6 below. However, if and when an OC or Fibreboard claimant
obtains a judgment in the tort system, the judgment will be payable (subject to
the Payment Percentage, Maximum Available Payment, and Claims Payment Ratio
provisions set forth below) as provided in Section 7.7 below.
2.3 APPLICATION OF THE PAYMENT PERCENTAGE. After the liquidated value of
an OC or Fibreboard Claim other than a claim involving Other Asbestos Disease
(Disease Level I - Cash Discount Payment), as defined in Section 5.3(a)(3)
below, is determined pursuant to the procedures set forth herein for Expedited
Review, Individual Review, arbitration, or litigation in the tort system, the
claimant will ultimately receive a pro-rata share of that value based on the
Payment Percentages separately set for OC and Fibreboard Claims pursuant to
Section 4.2 below. These Payment Percentages shall also apply to all
Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims as provided in Section 5.2 below.
- 5 -
<Page>
The Initial Payment Percentage for the OC Sub-Account has been set at
21.4 %, and the Initial Payment Percentage for the Fibreboard Sub-Account has
been set at 23.5 %. These Initial Payment Percentages shall apply to all OC and
Fibreboard PI Trust Voting Claims accepted as valid by the PI Trust, unless
adjusted by the PI Trust pursuant to the consent of the PI Trust Advisory
Committee ("TAC") and the Legal Representative for Future Asbestos Claimants
("Future Claimants' Representative") (who are described in Section 3.1 below)
pursuant to Section 4.2 below.
The term "PI Trust Voting Claims" includes (i) Pre-Petition Liquidated
Claims as provided in Section 5.2 below; (ii) OC and Fibreboard Claims filed
against OC and/or Fibreboard in the tort system or actually submitted to OC
and/or Fibreboard pursuant to an administrative settlement agreement prior to
the Petition Date of October 5, 2000; and (iii) all OC and Fibreboard Claims
filed against another defendant in the tort system prior to the date the Plan
was first filed with the Bankruptcy Court (January 17, 2003 (the "Plan Filing
Date")), provided, however, that the holder of a claim described in subsection
(i), (ii) or (iii) above, or his or her authorized agent, actually voted to
accept or reject the Plan pursuant to the voting procedures established by the
Bankruptcy Court, and provided further that the claim was subsequently filed
with the PI Trust pursuant to Section 6.1 below by the Initial Claims Filing
Date as defined in Section 5.1(a) below.
The Initial Payment Percentages for the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts set
forth above have been calculated on the assumption that the Average Values set
forth in Section 5.3(b)(4) below will be achieved with respect to existing
present claims and projected future claims involving Disease Levels II - VIII.
However, either or both of these Payment Percentages may be adjusted upwards or
downwards from time to time pursuant to Section 4.2 below by the PI
- 6 -
<Page>
Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative to
reflect then-current estimates of the assets and liabilities allocable to OC and
Fibreboard Claims, respectively, as well as the then-estimated value of pending
and future OC and Fibreboard Claims. If the Payment Percentage for either the OC
or Fibreboard Sub-Account is increased over time, claimants whose OC or
Fibreboard Claims were liquidated and paid in prior periods under the TDP will
not receive additional payments. Because there is uncertainty in the prediction
of both the number and severity of future claims, and the amount of the PI
Trust's assets, no guarantee can be made of any Payment Percentage for either OC
or Fibreboard Claims.
2.4 DETERMINATION OF THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL PAYMENT AND MAXIMUM AVAILABLE
PAYMENT. For each of the OC and the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, the PI Trust shall
estimate or model the amount of cash flow anticipated to be necessary over the
entire life of the Sub-Account to ensure that amounts will be available to treat
all holders of OC and/or Fibreboard Claims as similarly as possible, given the
assets and liabilities allocable to each of the two Sub-Accounts. In each year,
for each Sub-Account, the PI Trust will be empowered to pay out all of the
interest earned during the year by the Sub-Account, together with a portion of
the Sub-Account's principal, calculated so that the application of the
Sub-Account's assets over its life shall correspond with the needs created by
the anticipated flow of claims to the Sub-Account (the "Maximum Annual
Payment"), taking into account the Payment Percentage provisions set forth in
Sections 2.3 above and 4.2 below. The PI Trust's distributions from each
Sub-Account to all holders of claims against the Sub-Account for that year shall
not exceed the Maximum Annual Payment determined for that year.
- 7 -
<Page>
In distributing the Maximum Annual Payment from each Sub-Account, the PI
Trust shall first allocate the amount in question to outstanding Pre-Petition
Liquidated Claims against the Sub-Account, and to liquidated claims against the
Sub-Account involving Disease Level I (Cash Discount Payment), in proportion to
the aggregate value of each group of claims. The remaining portion of the
Maximum Annual Payment (the "Maximum Available Payment"), if any, shall then be
allocated and used to satisfy all other previously liquidated PI Trust Claims
against the Sub-Account, subject to the Claims Payment Ratio for the Sub-Account
set forth in Section 2.5 below.
In the event there are insufficient amounts in any year to pay the total
number of outstanding Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims and/or previously
liquidated Disease Level I Claims against the Sub-Account, the available amounts
allocated to that group of claims shall be paid to the maximum extent to
claimants in the particular group based on their place in their Sub-Account's
FIFO Payment Queue. Claims in either group for which there are insufficient
amounts in the Sub-Account shall be carried over to the next year and placed at
the head of the FIFO Payment Queue for that Sub-Account.
2.5 CLAIMS PAYMENT RATIO. Based upon OC 's and Fibreboard's claims
settlement history and analysis of present and future claims, a single Claims
Payment Ratio has been determined for both Sub-Accounts, which, as of the
Effective Date, has been set at 60% for Category A claims, which consist of PI
Trust Claims against OC and/or Fibreboard involving severe asbestosis and
malignancies (Disease Levels IV - VIII) that were unliquidated as of the
Petition Date, and at 40% for Category B claims, which are PI Trust Claims
against OC and/or Fibreboard involving non-malignant Asbestosis or Pleural
Disease (Disease Levels II and III) that were similarly unliquidated as of the
Petition Date. However, the Claims Payment Ratio
- 8 -
<Page>
shall not apply to any Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims or to any claims for Other
Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I - Cash Discount Payment) payable from either
OC or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts.
In each year, after the determination of the Maximum Available Payment
described in Section 2.4 above, 60% of that amount will be available to pay
Category A claims and 40% will be available to pay Category B claims that have
been liquidated since the Petition Date. In the event there are insufficient
amounts in either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts in any year to pay the
liquidated claims within either or both of the Categories, the available amounts
allocated to the particular Category within the Sub-Account shall be paid to the
maximum extent to claimants in that Category based on their place in the
Sub-Account's FIFO Payment Queue described in Section 5.1(c) below, which will
be based upon the date of claim liquidation.
Claims for which there are insufficient amounts allocated to the relevant
Category within a Sub-Account shall be carried over to the next year where they
will be placed at the head of the Sub-Account's FIFO Payment Queue. If there are
excess amounts in either or both Categories within a Sub-Account, because there
is an insufficient amount of liquidated claims to exhaust the respective
Sub-Account's Maximum Available Payment amount for that Category, then the
excess amounts for either or both Categories will be rolled over and remain
dedicated to the respective Category to which they were originally allocated.
The 60%/40% Claims Payment Ratio and its rollover provision shall apply to
all OC and Fibreboard PI Trust Voting Claims as defined in Section 2.3 above
(except Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims and Other Asbestos Claims (Disease Level
I - Cash Discount Payment)), and shall not be amended until the fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Sub-Account's Claims Payment
Ratio and its rollover provision shall be continued absent
- 9 -
<Page>
circumstances, such as a significant change in law or medicine, necessitating
amendment to avoid a manifest injustice. However, the accumulation, rollover and
subsequent delay of claims against one or both Sub-Accounts resulting from the
application of the Claims Payment Ratio, shall not, in and of itself, constitute
such circumstances. Nor may an increase in the numbers of Category B claims
against a Sub-Account beyond those predicted or expected be considered as a
factor in deciding whether to reduce the percentage allocated to Category A
claims.
In considering whether to make any amendments to the Claims Payment Ratio
and/or its rollover provisions for either Sub-Account, the Trustees should also
consider the reasons for which the Claims Payment Ratio and its rollover
provisions were adopted, the settlement histories of OC and Fibreboard that gave
rise to its calculation, and the foreseeability or lack of the foreseeability of
the reasons why there would be any need to make an amendment. In that regard,
the Trustees should keep in mind the interplay between the Payment Percentage
and the Claims Payment Ratio as it affects the net cash actually paid to
claimants from either Sub-Account.
In any event, no amendment to the Claims Payment Ratio for either
Sub-Account may be made without the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants'
Representative pursuant to the consent process set forth in Sections 5.7(b) and
6.6(b) of the PI Trust Agreement. However, the Trustees, with the consent of the
TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative, may offer the option of a reduced
Payment Percentage to holders of claims in either Category A or Category B
against either Sub-Account in return for prompter payment by the Sub-Account
(the "Reduced Payment Option").
2.6 INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION CLAIMS. As set forth in Section 5.6
- 10 -
<Page>
below, PI Trust Claims for indemnity and contribution (defined in the Plan as OC
Indirect Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and Fibreboard Indirect Asbestos
Personal Injury Claims, and hereinafter referred to as "Indirect PI Trust
Claims") against either the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, if any, will be
subject to the same categorization, evaluation, and payment provisions of this
TDP as all other OC and Fibreboard Claims.
SECTION III
TDP ADMINISTRATION
3.1 PI TRUST ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND FUTURE CLAIMANTS' REPRESENTATIVE.
Pursuant to the Plan and the PI Trust Agreement, the PI Trust and this TDP shall
be administered by the Trustees in consultation with the TAC, which represents
the interests of holders of present PI Trust Claims against OC and Fibreboard,
and the Future Claimants' Representative, who represents the interests of
holders of PI Trust Claims against OC and/or Fibreboard that will be asserted in
the future. The Trustees shall obtain the consent of the TAC and the Future
Claimants' Representative on any amendments to these Procedures pursuant to
Section 8.1 below, and on such other matters as are otherwise required below and
in Section 2.2(f) of the PI Trust Agreement. The Trustees shall also consult
with the TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative on such matters as are
provided below and in Section 2.2(e) of the PI Trust Agreement. The initial
members of the TAC and the initial Future Claimants' Representative are
identified in the PI Trust Agreement.
3.2 CONSENT AND CONSULTATION PROCEDURES. In those circumstances in which
consultation or consent is required, the Trustees will provide written notice to
the TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative of the specific amendment or
other action that is proposed. The Trustees will not implement such amendment
nor take such action unless and until the
- 11 -
<Page>
parties have engaged in the Consultation Process described in Sections 5.7(a)
and 6.6(a), or the Consent Process described in Sections 5.7(b) and 6.6(b) of
the PI Trust Agreement, respectively.
SECTION IV
PAYMENT PERCENTAGE; PERIODIC ESTIMATES
4.1 UNCERTAINTY OF OC 'S AND FIBREBOARD'S TOTAL PERSONAL INJURY ASBESTOS
LIABILITIES. As discussed above, there is inherent uncertainty regarding OC 's
and Fibreboard's total asbestos-related tort liabilities, as well as the total
value of the assets available to the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts to pay PI
Trust Claims asserted against each Sub-Account. Consequently, there is inherent
uncertainty regarding the amounts that holders of PI Trust Claims will receive.
To seek to ensure substantially similar treatment of all present and future
claims against either the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, the Trustees must
determine from time to time the percentage of full liquidated value that holders
of claims against the Sub-Account will be likely to receive, I.E, the "Payment
Percentage" described in Section 2.3 above and Section 4.2 below.
4.2 COMPUTATION OF PAYMENT PERCENTAGE. As provided in Section 2.3 above,
the Initial Payment Percentage for claims against the OC Sub-Account shall be
21.4 %, and for claims against the Fibreboard Sub-Account 23.5 %. These
percentages shall apply to all OC and Fibreboard PI Trust Voting Claims as
defined in Section 2.3 above, unless the Trustees, with the consent of the TAC
and the Future Claimants' Representative, determine that the Initial Payment
Percentage for one or both Sub-Accounts should be changed to assure that the PI
Trust will be in a financial position to pay holders of unliquidated and/or
unpaid PI Trust Voting Claims and present and future PI Trust Claims against the
OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, respectively, in substantially the same manner.
In making any such adjustment, the Trustees, the TAC and the
- 12 -
<Page>
Future Claimants' Representative shall take into account the fact that the
holders of PI Trust Voting Claims voted on the Plan relying on the findings of
experts that the Initial Payment Percentage for each Sub-Account represented a
reasonably reliable estimate of the PI Trust's total assets and liabilities over
its life based on the best information available at the time, and shall thus
give due consideration to the expectations of PI Trust Voting Claimants that the
Initial Payment Percentage would be applied to their PI Trust Claims.
Except with respect to PI Trust Voting Claims to which the Initial Payment
Percentage applies, the Payment Percentage for either the OC or the Fibreboard
Sub-Accounts shall be subject to change pursuant to the terms of this TDP and
the PI Trust Agreement if the Trustees determine that an adjustment is required.
No less frequently than once every three years, commencing with the first day of
January occurring after the Plan is consummated, the Trustees shall reconsider
the then applicable Payment Percentage for each of the OC and Fibreboard
Sub-Accounts to assure that the respective percentage is based on accurate,
current information and may, after such reconsideration, change the Payment
Percentage for either Sub-Account if necessary with the consent of the TAC and
the Future Claimants' Representative.
The Trustees shall also reconsider the then applicable Payment Percentages
for either or both Sub-Accounts at shorter intervals if they deem such
reconsideration to be appropriate or if requested to do so by the TAC or the
Future Claimants' Representative. The Trustees must base their determination of
the Payment Percentage on current estimates of the number, types, and values of
present and future PI Trust Claims against the respective Sub-Accounts, the
value of the assets then available to the respective Sub-Accounts for their
payment, all anticipated administrative and legal expenses of the respective
Sub-Accounts, and any other material matters that are reasonably likely to
affect the sufficiency of the respective Sub-Accounts' assets to pay a
- 13 -
<Page>
comparable percentage of full value to all holders of claims against the
Sub-Accounts. When making these determinations, the Trustees shall exercise
common sense and flexibly evaluate all relevant factors. The Payment Percentage
applicable to Category A or Category B claims against the respective
Sub-Accounts may not be reduced to alleviate delays in payments of claims in the
other Category; both Categories will receive the same Payment Percentage, but
the payment from either or both Sub-Accounts may be deferred as needed pursuant
to Section 7.3 below, and a Reduced Payment Option may be instituted for either
Sub-Account as described in Section 2.5 above.
4.3 APPLICABILITY OF THE PAYMENT PERCENTAGE. No holder of a PI Trust
Voting Claim other than a PI Trust Voting Claim for Other Asbestos Disease
(Disease Level I - Cash Discount Payment) as defined in Section 5.3(a)(3) below
shall receive a payment that exceeds the PI Trust's determination of the Initial
Payment Percentage for the relevant Sub-Account of the liquidated value of the
claim. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(c) below for PI Trust Claims
involving deceased or incompetent claimants for which court or probate approval
of the PI Trust's offer is required, no holder of any other PI Trust Claim shall
receive a payment that exceeds the Payment Percentage for the respective
Sub-Account in effect at the time of payment. PI Trust Claims involving Other
Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I - Cash Discount Payment) shall not be subject
to such Sub-Account's Payment Percentage, but shall instead be paid the full
amount of their Scheduled Value as set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) below.
If a redetermination of the respective Sub-Account's Payment Percentage has
been proposed in writing by the Trustees to the TAC and the Future Claimants'
Representative but has not yet been adopted, the claimant shall receive the
lower of such Sub-Account's current Payment Percentage or the proposed Payment
Percentage. However, if the proposed Payment
- 14 -
<Page>
Percentage for such Sub-Account was the lower amount but was not subsequently
adopted, the claimant shall thereafter receive the difference between the lower
proposed amount and the higher current amount. Conversely, if the proposed
Payment Percentage for such Sub-Account was the higher amount and was
subsequently adopted, the claimant shall thereafter receive the difference
between the lower current amount and the higher adopted amount.
SECTION V
RESOLUTION OF PI TRUST CLAIMS.
5.1 ORDERING, PROCESSING AND PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.
5.1(a) ORDERING OF CLAIMS.
5.1(a)(1) ESTABLISHMENT OF FIFO PROCESSING QUEUES. The PI
Trust will order separately all OC and Fibreboard Claims that are sufficiently
complete to be reviewed for processing purposes on a FIFO basis except as
otherwise provided herein (the "FIFO Processing Queues"). For all claims filed
on or before the date six months after the Effective Date (the "Initial Claims
Filing Date"), a claimant's position in either FIFO Processing Queue shall be
determined as of the earlier of (i) the date prior to the Petition Date (if any)
that the specific claim was either filed against OC or Fibreboard in the tort
system or was actually submitted to OC or Fibreboard pursuant to an
administrative settlement agreement; (ii) the date before the Petition Date that
the claim was filed against another defendant in the tort system if at the time
the claim was subject to a tolling agreement with OC or Fibreboard; (iii) the
date after the Petition Date but before the Effective Date that the claim was
filed against another defendant in the tort system; (iv) the date after the
Petition Date the claimant filed a proof of claim form in OC's and/or
Fibreboard's Chapter 11 proceeding; (v) the date after the Petition Date the
claimant submitted a ballot in OC's Chapter 11 proceeding for purposes of voting
on the Plan pursuant to
- 15 -
<Page>
the voting procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court; or (vi) the date after
the Effective Date but on or before the Initial Claims Filing Date that the
claim was filed with the PI Trust.
Following the Initial Claims Filing Date, the claimant's position in one of
the two FIFO Processing Queues shall be determined by the date the claim was
filed with the PI Trust. If any claims are filed on the same date, the
claimant's position in the FIFO Processing Queue shall be determined by date of
the claimant's diagnosis of asbestos-related disease. If any claims are filed
and diagnosed on the same date, the claimant's position in the FIFO Processing
Queue shall be determined by the date of the claimant's birth, with older
claimants given priority over younger claimants.
5.1(a)(2) EFFECT OF STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS AND REPOSE. To
be eligible for a place in either the OC or Fibreboard FIFO Processing Queues,
(i) claims first filed in the tort system against OC or Fibreboard, respectively
prior to the Petition Date must meet the applicable federal, state and foreign
statute of limitation and repose that was in effect at the time of the filing of
the claim in the tort system, and (ii) claims that were not filed against either
OC or Fibreboard in the tort system prior to the Petition Date must meet the
applicable federal, state or foreign statute of limitation that was in effect at
the time of the filing with the PI Trust.
However, the running of the relevant statute of limitation shall be tolled
as of the earliest of (A) the actual filing of the claim against OC or
Fibreboard prior to the Petition Date, whether in the tort system or by
submission of the claim to OC or Fibreboard pursuant to an administrative
settlement agreement; (B) the filing of the claim against another defendant in
the tort system prior to the Petition Date if the claim was tolled against OC or
Fibreboard at the time by an agreement or otherwise; (C) the filing of a claim
after the Petition Date but prior to the Effective Date against another
defendant in the tort system; (D) the submission by the claimant
- 16 -
<Page>
of a ballot in OC's and or Fibreboard's Chapter 11 proceeding for purposes of
voting on the Plan pursuant to the voting procedures approved by the Bankruptcy
Court; or (E) the filing of a proof of claim with the requisite supporting
documentation with the PI Trust after the Effective Date.
If a PI Trust Claim meets any of the tolling provisions described in the
preceding sentence and the claim was not barred by the applicable federal, state
or foreign statute of limitation at the time of the tolling event, it will be
treated as timely filed if it is actually filed with the PI Trust within three
(3) years after the Effective Date. In addition, any claims that were first
diagnosed after the Petition Date, irrespective of the application of any
relevant federal, state or foreign statute of limitation or repose, may be filed
with the PI Trust within three (3) years after the date of diagnosis or within
three (3) years after the Effective Date, whichever occurs later. However, the
processing of any PI Trust Claim by the PI Trust may be deferred at the election
of the claimant pursuant to Section 6.3 below.
5.1(b) PROCESSING OF CLAIMS. As a general practice, the PI Trust
will review its claims files on a regular basis and notify all claimants whose
claims are likely to come up in either the OC or Fibreboard FIFO Processing
Queue in the near future. However, claims that were not filed (i) against OC or
Fibreboard in the tort system or actually submitted to OC or Fibreboard pursuant
to an administrative settlement agreement prior to the Petition Date, or (ii)
against another defendant in the tort system prior to the Plan Filing Date,
shall not be processed until after the Initial Claims Filing Date.
5.1(c) PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. PI Trust Claims against the OC and/or
Fibreboard Sub-Accounts that have been liquidated under the provisions of this
TDP by the Expedited Review Process as provided in Section 5.3(a) below, by the
Individual Review Process as provided in Section 5.3(b) below, by arbitration as
provided in Section 5.10 below, or by
- 17 -
<Page>
litigation in the tort system provided in Section 5.11 below, shall be paid in
FIFO order from the relevant Sub-Account based on the date their liquidation
became final (the "FIFO Payment Queue"), all such payments being subject to the
applicable Payment Percentage, the Maximum Annual Payment, the Maximum Available
Payment, and the Claims Payment Ratio, except as otherwise provided herein.
Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims, as defined in Section 5.2 below, shall be
subject to the Maximum Annual Payment and Payment Percentage limitations, but
not to the Maximum Available Payment and Claims Payment Ratio provisions set
forth above.
Where the claimant is deceased or incompetent, and the settlement and
payment of his or her claim must be approved by a court of competent
jurisdiction or through a probate process prior to acceptance of the claim by
the claimant's representative, an offer made by the PI Trust on the claim shall
remain open so long as proceedings before that court or in that probate process
remain pending, provided that the PI Trust has been furnished with evidence that
the settlement offer has been submitted to such court or probate process for
approval. If the offer is ultimately approved by the court or through the
probate process and accepted by the claimant's representative, the PI Trust
shall pay the claim from the relevant Sub-Account in the amount so offered,
multiplied by the Payment Percentage in effect for such Sub-Account at the time
the offer was first made.
If any claims are liquidated on the same date, the claimant's position in a
Sub-Account's FIFO Payment Queue shall be determined by the date of the
diagnosis of the claimant's asbestos-related disease. If any claims are
liquidated on the same date and the respective holders' asbestos-related
diseases were diagnosed on the same date, those claimants' positions in the
Sub-Account's FIFO Payment Queue shall be determined by the PI Trust based on
the dates of the claimants' birth, with older claimants given priority over
younger claimants.
- 18 -
<Page>
5.2 RESOLUTION OF PRE-PETITION LIQUIDATED PI TRUST CLAIMS.
5.2(a) PROCESSING AND PAYMENT. As soon as practicable after the
Effective Date, the PI Trust shall pay, upon submission by the claimant of the
applicable PI Trust proof of claim form (included in Attachment B) together with
all documentation required thereunder, all PI Trust Claims that were liquidated
by (i) a binding settlement agreement for the particular claim entered into
prior to the Petition Date that is judicially enforceable by the claimant, (ii)
a jury verdict in the tort system obtained prior to the Petition Date, or (iii)
by a final or non-final judgment prior to the Petition Date (collectively
"Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims").
The liquidated value of a Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim shall be the unpaid
amount of the claim, including interest, if any, that has accrued on that amount
in accordance with the terms of a binding settlement agreement, if any, or under
applicable state law for settlements or judgments as of the Petition Date;
however, pursuant to Section 7.4 below, the liquidated value of a Pre-Petition
Liquidated Claim shall not include any punitive or exemplary damages. In
addition, the amounts payable with respect to such claims shall not be subject
to or taken into account in consideration of the Claims Payment Ratio and the
Maximum Available Payment limitations, but shall be subject to the Maximum
Annual Payment and Payment Percentage provisions. In the absence of a Final
Order of the Bankruptcy Court determining whether a settlement agreement is
binding and judicially enforceable, a dispute between a claimant and the PI
Trust over this issue shall be resolved pursuant to the same procedures in this
TDP that are provided for resolving the validity and/or liquidated value of a PI
Trust Claim (I.E., arbitration and litigation in the tort system as set forth in
Sections 5.10 and 5.11 below).
Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims shall be processed and paid from the OC
and/or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts in accordance with their order in separate FIFO
queues to be
- 19 -
<Page>
established for each Sub-Account by the PI Trust based on the date the PI Trust
received a completed proof of claim form with all required documentation for the
particular claim. If any Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims are filed with the PI
Trust on the same date, the claimant's position in the Sub-Account's FIFO queue
for such claims shall be determined by the date on which the claim was
liquidated. If any Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims are both filed with the PI
Trust and liquidated by a Sub-Account on the same dates, those claimants'
positions in the FIFO queue shall be determined by the dates of the claimants'
birth, with older claimants given priority over younger claimants.
5.2(b) MARSHALLING OF SECURITY. Holders of Pre-Petition Liquidated
Claims that are secured by letters of credit, appeal bonds, or other security or
sureties shall first exhaust their rights against any applicable security or
surety before making a claim against the PI Trust. Only in the event that such
security or surety is insufficient to pay the Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim in
full shall the deficiency be processed and paid as a Pre-Petition Liquidated
Claim.
5.3 RESOLUTION OF UNLIQUIDATED PI TRUST CLAIMS. Within six months after
the establishment of the PI Trust, the Trustees with the consent of the TAC and
the Future Claimants' Representative shall adopt procedures for reviewing and
liquidating all unliquidated PI Trust Claims, which shall include deadlines for
processing such claims. Such procedures shall also require claimants seeking
resolution of unliquidated PI Trust claims to first file a proof of claim form,
together with the required supporting documentation, in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 below. It is anticipated that the PI Trust
shall provide an initial response to the claimant within six months of receiving
the proof of claim form.
The proof of claim form shall require the claimant to assert his or her OC
and/or Fibreboard Claim for the highest Disease Level for which the claim
qualifies at the time of filing.
- 20 -
<Page>
Irrespective of the Disease Level alleged on the proof of claim form, each OC
and/or Fibreboard Claims shall be deemed to be a claim for the highest Disease
Level for which the claim qualifies at the time of filing, and all lower Disease
Levels for which the claim may also qualify at the time of filing or in the
future shall be treated as subsumed into the higher Disease Level for both
processing and payment purposes.
Upon filing of a valid proof of claim form with the required supporting
documentation, the claim shall be placed in the relevant OC and/or Fibreboard
FIFO Processing Queue in accordance with the ordering criteria described in
Section 5.1(a) above. The PI Trust shall provide the claimant with six-months
notice of the date by which it expects to reach the claim in the FIFO Queue,
following which the claimant shall promptly (i) advise the PI Trust whether the
claim should be liquidated under the PI Trust's Expedited Review Process
described in Section 5.3(a) below or, in certain circumstances, under the PI
Trust's Individual Review Process described in Section 5.3(b) below; (ii)
provide the PI Trust with any additional medical and/or exposure evidence that
was not provided with the original claim submission; and (iii) advise the PI
Trust of any change in the claimant's Disease Level. If a claimant fails to
respond to the PI Trust's notice prior to the reaching of the claim in the FIFO
Queue, the PI Trust will process and liquidate the claim under the Expedited
Review Process based upon the medical/exposure evidence previously submitted by
the claimant, although the claimant shall retain the right to request Individual
Review as described in Section 5.3(b) below.
5.3(a) EXPEDITED REVIEW PROCESS.
5.3(a)(1) IN GENERAL. The PI Trust's Expedited Review
Process is designed primarily to provide an expeditious, efficient and
inexpensive method for liquidating all OC and Fibreboard Claims (except those
involving Lung Cancer 2 - Disease Level VI and all
- 21 -
<Page>
foreign claims, which must be liquidated pursuant to the PI Trust's Individual
Review Process) where the claim can easily be verified by the PI Trust as
meeting the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease
Level. Expedited Review thus provides claimants with a substantially less
burdensome process for pursuing PI Trust Claims than does the Individual Review
Process described in Section 5.3(b) below. Expedited Review is also intended to
provide qualifying claimants a fixed and certain claims payment.
Thus, claims that undergo Expedited Review and meet the presumptive
Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level shall be paid the
Scheduled Value (or Values in the case of Multiple Exposure Claims) for such
Disease Level set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) below. However, except for claims
involving Other Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I), all claims liquidated by
Expedited Review shall be subject to the applicable Payment Percentage, the
Maximum Annual Payment, the Maximum Available Payment, and the Claims Payment
Ratio limitations set forth above. Claimants holding OC and/or Fibreboard Claims
that cannot be liquidated by Expedited Review because they do not meet the
presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level may elect
the PI Trust's Individual Review Process set forth in Section 5.3(b) below.
5.3(a)(2) CLAIMS PROCESSING UNDER EXPEDITED REVIEW. All
claimants seeking liquidation of an OC and/or Fibreboard Claim pursuant to
Expedited Review shall file the PI Trust's proof of claim forms provided in
Attachment B hereto. As a proof of claim form is reached in the OC or Fibreboard
FIFO Processing Queue, the PI Trust shall determine whether the claim described
therein meets the Medical/Exposure Criteria for one of the seven Disease Levels
eligible for Expedited Review, and shall advise the claimant of its
determination. If a Disease Level is determined, the PI Trust shall tender to
the claimant an offer of payment from
- 22 -
<Page>
the relevant OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account of the Scheduled Value for the
relevant Disease Level multiplied by the applicable Payment Percentage, together
with a form of release approved by the PI Trust. If the claimant accepts the
Scheduled Value and returns the release properly executed, the claim shall be
placed in the Sub-Account's FIFO Payment Queue, following which the PI Trust
shall disburse payment subject to the limitations of the Maximum Available
Payment and Claims Payment Ratio, if any.
5.3(a)(3) DISEASE LEVELS, SCHEDULED VALUES AND
MEDICAL/EXPOSURE CRITERIA. The eight Disease Levels covered by this TDP,
together with the Medical/Exposure Criteria for each, and the separate OC and
Fibreboard Scheduled Values for the seven Disease Levels eligible for Expedited
Review, are set forth below. These Disease Levels, Scheduled Values, and
Medical/Exposure Criteria shall apply to all PI Trust Voting Claims (other than
Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims) filed with the PI Trust on or before the Initial
Claims Filing Date provided in Section 5.1 above for which the claimant elects
the Expedited Review Process. Thereafter, for purposes of administering the
Expedited Review Process and with the consent of the TAC and the Future
Claimants' Representative, the Trustees may add to, change or eliminate Disease
Levels, Scheduled Values, or Medical/Exposure Criteria; develop subcategories of
Disease Levels, Scheduled Values or Medical/Exposure Criteria; or determine that
a novel or exceptional asbestos personal injury claim is compensable even though
it does not meet the Medical/Exposure Criteria for any of the then current
Disease Levels.

Mesothelioma (Level VIII) $215,000/$135,000 (1) Diagnosis(2) of mesothelioma; and (2)
credible evidence of OC or Fibreboard
Exposure (as defined in Section 5.7(b)(3)
below)
Lung Cancer 1 (Level VII) $ 40,000/$19,000 (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer plus
evidence of an underlying Bilateral
Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease(3), (2)
six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to
December 31, 1982, (3) Significant
Occupational Exposure to asbestos,(4) and (4)
supporting medical documentation establishing
asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in
causing the lung cancer in question.
Lung Cancer 2 (Level VI) None (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer; (2)
OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December
31, 1982, and (3) supporting medical
documentation establishing asbestos exposure
as a contributing factor in causing the lung
cancer in question.
</Table>
- ----------
(2) The requirements for a diagnosis of an asbestos-related disease that may be
compensated under the provisions of this TDP are set forth in Section 5.7 below.
(3) Evidence of "Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease" for purposes
of meeting the criteria for establishing Disease Levels I, II, III, V, and VII,
means either (i) a chest X-ray read by a qualified B reader of 1/0 or higher on
the ILO scale or (ii)(x) a chest X-ray read by a qualified B reader, (y) a CT
scan read by a qualified physician, or (z) pathology, in each case showing
either bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques, bilateral
pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification. Solely for claims filed
against OC or Fibreboard or another asbestos defendant in the tort system prior
to the Petition Date, if an ILO reading is not available, either (i) a chest
X-ray or a CT scan read by a qualified physician, or (ii) pathology, in each
case showing either bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques,
bilateral pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification, consistent
with or compatible with a diagnosis of asbestos-related disease, shall be
evidence of a "Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease" for purposes of
meeting the presumptive medical requirements of Disease Levels I, II, III, V and
VII. Pathological evidence of asbestosis may be based on the pathological
grading system for asbestosis described in the Special Issue of the Archives of
Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, "Asbestos-associated Diseases," Vol. 106, No.
11, App. 3 (October 8, 1982).
(4) "Significant Occupational Exposure" is defined in Section 5.7 below.
- 24 -
<Page>
<Table>
Lung Cancer 2 (Level VI) claims are claims
that do not meet the more stringent medical
and/or exposure requirements of Lung Cancer
(Level VII) claims. All claims in this
Disease Level will be individually evaluated.
The estimated likely Average Value of the
individual evaluation awards for this
category for OC Claims is $20,000 and for
Fibreboard Claims is $12,000, with such
awards capped at a Maximum Value of $50,000
for OC Claims and $30,000 for Fibreboard
Claims, unless the claim qualifies for
Extraordinary Claim treatment (discussed in
Section 5.4 below).
Level VI claims that show no evidence of
either an underlying Bilateral
Asbestos-Related Non-malignant Disease or
Significant Occupational Exposure may be
individually evaluated, although it is not
expected that such claims will be treated as
having any significant value, especially if
the claimant is also a Smoker.(5) In any
event, no presumption of validity will be
available for any claims in this category.
</Table>
- ----------
(5) There is no distinction between Non-Smokers and Smokers for either Lung
Cancer (Level VII) or Lung Cancer (Level VI), although a claimant who meets the
more stringent requirements of Lung Cancer (Level VII) (evidence of an
underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease plus Significant
Occupational Exposure), and who is also a Non-Smoker, may wish to have his or
her claim individually evaluated by the PI Trust. In such a case, absent
circumstances that would otherwise reduce the value of the claim, it is
anticipated that the liquidated value of the claim might well exceed the
Scheduled Values for Lung Cancer (Level VII) claims against OC and Fibreboard,
respectively, shown above. "Non-Smoker" means a claimant who either (a) never
smoked or (b) has not smoked during any portion of the twelve (12) years
immediately prior to the diagnosis of the lung cancer.

Disease, (2) six months OC or Fibreboard
Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3)
Significant Occupational Exposure to
asbestos, and (4) supporting medical
documentation establishing asbestos exposure
as a contributing factor in causing the other
cancer in question.
Severe Asbestosis (Level IV) $ 42,000/$29,000 (1) Diagnosis of asbestosis with ILO of 2/1

</Table>
5.3(b) INDIVIDUAL REVIEW PROCESS
5.3(b)(1) IN GENERAL. Subject to the provisions set forth
below, an OC or Fibreboard Claimant may elect to have his or her PI Trust Claim
reviewed for purposes of determining whether the claim would be compensable in
the tort system even though it does not meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure
Criteria for any of the Disease Levels set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) above. In
addition or alternatively, an OC or Fibreboard claimant may elect to have a
claim undergo the Individual Review Process for purposes of determining whether
the liquidated value of the claim exceeds the Scheduled Value for the relevant
Disease Level also set forth in said provision. However, until such time as the
PI Trust has made an offer on a claim pursuant to Individual Review, the
claimant may change his or her Individual Review election and have the claim
liquidated pursuant to the PI Trust's Expedited Review Process. In the event of
such a change in the processing election, the claimant shall nevertheless retain
his or her place in the FIFO Processing Queue.
The liquidated value of all foreign claims shall be established pursuant to
the PI Trust's Individual Review Process. In reviewing foreign claims, the PI
Trust shall take into account all
- 27 -
<Page>
relevant procedural and substantive legal rules to which the claims would be
subject in the Claimant's Jurisdiction as defined in Section 5.3(b)(2) below.
The PI Trust shall determine the liquidated value of foreign claims based on
historical settlements and verdicts in the Claimant's Jurisdiction as well as
the other valuation factors set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) below.
For purposes of the Individual Review Process, the Trustees, with the
consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative, may develop
separate Medical/Exposure Criteria and standards, as well as separate
requirements for physician and other professional qualifications, which shall be
applicable to foreign claims; however, such criteria, standards or requirements
shall not effectuate substantive changes to the claims eligibility requirements
under this TDP, but rather shall be made only for the purpose of adapting those
requirements to the particular licensing provisions and/or medical customs or
practices of the foreign country in question.
At such time as the PI Trust has sufficient historical settlement,
verdict and other valuation data for claims from a particular foreign
jurisdiction, the Trustees, with the consent of the TAC and the Future
Claimants' Representative, may also establish a separate valuation matrix for
such claims based on that data.
5.3(b)(1)(A) REVIEW OF MEDICAL/EXPOSURE CRITERIA. The PI
Trust's Individual Review Process provides an OC or Fibreboard claimant with an
opportunity for individual consideration and evaluation of a PI Trust Claim that
fails to meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for Disease Levels I -
V, and VII-VIII. In such a case, the PI Trust shall either deny the claim, or,
if the PI Trust is satisfied that the claimant has presented a claim that would
be cognizable and valid in the tort system, the PI Trust can offer the claimant
a liquidated value amount up to the Scheduled Value for that Disease Level,
unless the
- 28 -
<Page>
claim qualifies as an Extraordinary Claim as defined in Section 5.4(a) below, in
which case its liquidated value cannot exceed the Maximum Value for such a
claim.
5.3(b)(1)(B) REVIEW OF LIQUIDATED VALUE. Claimants holding
claims involving Disease Levels II - VIII shall also be eligible to seek
Individual Review of the liquidated value of their OC and Fibreboard Claims, as
well as of their medical/exposure evidence. The Individual Review Process is
intended to result in payments from the OC and/or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts equal
to the full liquidated value for each claim multiplied by the Payment
Percentage; however, the liquidated value of any OC or Fibreboard Claim that
undergoes Individual Review may be determined to be less than the Scheduled
Value the claimant would have received under Expedited Review. Moreover, the
liquidated value for a claim involving Disease Levels II - VIII shall not exceed
the Maximum Value for the relevant Disease Level set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4)
below, unless the claim meets the requirements of an Extraordinary Claim
described in Section 5.4(a) below, in which case its liquidated value cannot
exceed the Maximum Value set forth in that provision for such claims. Because
the detailed examination and valuation process pursuant to Individual Review
requires substantial time and effort, claimants electing to undergo the
Individual Review Process will ordinarily be paid the liquidated value of their
PI Trust Claims later than would have been the case had the claimant elected the
Expedited Review Process.
5.3(b)(2) VALUATION FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN INDIVIDUAL REVIEW. The
PI Trust shall liquidate the value of each OC and Fibreboard Claim that
undergoes Individual Review based on the historic liquidated values of other
similarly situated claims in the tort system for the same Disease Level. The PI
Trust will thus take into consideration all of the factors that affect the
severity of damages and values within the tort system including, but not
- 29 -
<Page>
limited to (i) the degree to which the characteristics of a claim differ from
the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the Disease Level in question;
(ii) factors such as the claimant's age, disability, employment status,
disruption of household, family or recreational activities, dependencies,
special damages, and pain and suffering; (iii) evidence that the claimant's
damages were (or were not) caused by asbestos exposure to an asbestos-containing
product prior to December 31, 1982 for which OC or Fibreboard has legal
responsibility (for example, alternative causes, and the strength of
documentation of injuries); (iv) the industry of exposure; and (v) settlements,
verdicts, and the claimant's and other law firms' experience in the Claimant's
Jurisdiction for similarly situated claims.
For these purposes, the "Claimant's Jurisdiction" is the jurisdiction in
which the claim was filed (if at all) against OC or Fibreboard in the tort
system prior to the Petition Date. If the claim was not filed against OC or
Fibreboard in the tort system prior to the Petition Date, the claimant may elect
as the Claimant's Jurisdiction either (i) the jurisdiction in which the claimant
resides at the time of diagnosis or when the claim is filed with the PI Trust;
or (ii) a jurisdiction in which the claimant experienced exposure to an
asbestos-containing product for which OC or Fibreboard has legal responsibility.
5.3(b)(3) PROCESSING AND PAYMENT LIMITATIONS FOR CLAIMS INVOLVING
DISEASE LEVELS III AND II. The PI Trust shall administer Individual Review for
Disease Levels III and II so that Individual Review does not reduce payments to
claimants electing the Scheduled Value for such PI Trust Claims under Expedited
Review. As one means of implementing this requirement, the following shall apply
for Disease Levels III and II claims:
- 30 -
<Page>
5.3(b)(3)(A) DISEASE LEVEL III CLAIMS. No more than 13% or
9% of Disease Level III claims paid in any year from either the OC or the
Fibreboard Sub-Account, respectively, shall be PI Trust Claims allowed under
Individual Review, and the total payments to such Disease Level III claims
allowed under Individual Review shall be no more than 17% or 13% of payments to
all Disease Level III claimants from either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account,
respectively, during any year.
5.3(b)(3)(B) DISEASE LEVEL II CLAIMS. No more than 15% or
20% of Disease Level II claims paid in any year from either the OC or the
Fibreboard Sub-Account, respectively, shall be PI Trust Claims allowed under
Individual Review, and the total payments to such Disease Level II claims
allowed under Individual Review shall be no more than 24% or 33% of payments to
all Disease Level II claimants from either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account,
respectively, during any year.
5.3(b)(4) SCHEDULED, AVERAGE AND MAXIMUM VALUES. The Scheduled,
Average and Maximum Values for the Disease Levels compensable under this TDP
from the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts are the following:

These OC and Fibreboard Scheduled Values, Average Values and Maximum Values
shall apply to all PI Trust Voting Claims other than Pre-Petition Liquidated
Claims filed with the PI Trust on or before the Initial Claims Filing Date as
provided in Section 5.1 above. Thereafter, the PI Trust, with the consent of the
TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative pursuant to Sections 5.7(b) and
6.6(b) of the PI Trust Agreement, may change these valuation amounts for good
cause and consistent with other restrictions on the amendment power.
5.4 CATEGORIZING CLAIMS AS EXTRAORDINARY AND/OR EXIGENT HARDSHIP
- 32 -
<Page>
5.4(a) EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS. "Extraordinary Claim" means a PI Trust
Claim that otherwise satisfies the Medical Criteria for Disease Levels II -
VIII, and that is held by a claimant whose exposure to asbestos (i) occurred
predominately as the result of working in a manufacturing facility of OC or
Fibreboard during a period in which OC or Fibreboard was manufacturing
asbestos-containing products at that facility, or (ii) was at least 75% the
result of exposure to an asbestos-containing product for which OC or Fibreboard
has legal responsibility, and in either case there is little likelihood of a
substantial recovery elsewhere. All such Extraordinary Claims shall be presented
for Individual Review and, if valid, shall be entitled to an award of up to a
Maximum Value of five (5) times the Scheduled Value for claims qualifying for
Disease Levels II - V, VII and VIII, and five (5) times the Average Value for
claims in Disease Level VI, multiplied by the applicable Payment Percentage.
Any dispute as to Extraordinary Claim status shall be submitted to a
special Extraordinary Claims Panel to be established by the PI Trust with the
consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative. All decisions of
the Extraordinary Claims Panel shall be final and not subject to any further
administrative or judicial review. An Extraordinary Claim, following its
liquidation, shall be placed in the Trust's FIFO Queue ahead of all other PI
Trust Claims except Exigent Hardship Claims, which shall be first in said Queue,
based on its date of liquidation and shall be subject to the Maximum Available
Payment and Claims Payment Ratio described above.
5.4(b) EXIGENT HARDSHIP CLAIMS. At any time the PI Trust may
liquidate and pay PI Trust Claims that qualify as Exigent Hardship Claims as
defined below. Such claims may be considered separately no matter what the order
of processing otherwise would have been under this TDP. An Exigent Hardship
Claim, following its liquidation, shall be placed first in
- 33 -
<Page>
the relevant Sub-Account's FIFO Payment Queue ahead of all other liquidated
claims, and shall be subject to the Maximum Available Payment and Claims Payment
Ratio described above. A PI Trust Claim qualifies for payment as an Exigent
Hardship Claim if the claim meets the Medical/Exposure Criteria for Severe
Asbestosis (Disease Level IV) or an asbestos-related malignancy (Disease Levels
V-VIII), and the PI Trust, in its sole discretion, determines (i) that the
claimant needs financial assistance on an immediate basis based on the
claimant's expenses and all sources of available income, and (ii) that there is
a causal connection between the claimant's dire financial condition and the
claimant's asbestos-related disease.
5.5 SECONDARY EXPOSURE CLAIMS. If a claimant alleges an asbestos-related
disease resulting solely from exposure to an occupationally exposed person, such
as a family member, the claimant is entitled to seek Individual Review of his or
her OC and/or Fibreboard Claim pursuant to Section 5.3(b) above. In such a case,
the claimant must establish that the occupationally exposed person would have
met the exposure requirements under this TDP that would have been applicable had
that person filed a direct claim against the PI Trust. In addition, the claimant
with secondary exposure must establish that he or she is suffering from one of
the eight Disease Levels described in Section 5.3(a)(3) above or an
asbestos-related disease otherwise valid and cognizable in the tort system, that
his or her own exposure to the occupationally exposed person occurred within the
same time frame as the occupationally exposed person was exposed to asbestos
products produced by OC or Fibreboard, and that such secondary exposure to OC or
Fibreboard products was a cause of the claimed disease. The proof of claim form
included in Attachment B hereto contains an additional section for Secondary
Exposure Claims. All other liquidation and payment rights and limitations under
this TDP shall be applicable to such claims.
- 34 -
<Page>
5.6 INDIRECT PI TRUST CLAIMS. Indirect PI Trust Claims asserted against
either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts based upon theories of contribution or
indemnification under applicable law, shall be treated as presumptively valid
and paid by the PI Trust subject to the applicable Payment Percentage if (a)
such claim satisfied the requirements of the Bar Date for such claims
established by the Bankruptcy Court, if applicable, and is not otherwise
disallowed by Section 502(e) of the Code or subordinated under Section 509(c) of
the Code, and (b) the holder of such claim (the "Indirect Claimant") establishes
to the satisfaction of the Trustees that (i) the Indirect Claimant has paid in
full the liability and obligation of the Trust to the individual claimant to
whom the PI Trust would otherwise have had a liability or obligation under these
Procedures (the "Direct Claimant"), (ii) the Direct Claimant and the Indirect
Claimant have forever and fully released the Trust from all liability to the
Direct Claimant, and (iii) the claim is not otherwise barred by a statute of
limitation or repose or by other applicable law. In no event shall any Indirect
Claimant have any rights against the PI Trust superior to the rights of the
related Direct Claimant against the PI Trust, including any rights with respect
to the timing, amount or manner of payment. In addition, no Indirect Claim may
be liquidated and paid in an amount that exceeds what the Indirect Claimant has
actually paid the related Direct Claimant.
To establish a presumptively valid Indirect PI Trust Claim, The Indirect
Claimant's aggregate liability for the Direct Claimant's claim must also have
been fixed, liquidated and paid fully by the Indirect Claimant by settlement
(with an appropriate full release in favor of the PI Trust) or a Final Order (as
defined in the Plan) provided that such claim is valid under the applicable
state law. In any case where the Indirect Claimant has satisfied the claim of a
Direct Claimant against the PI Trust under applicable law by way of a
settlement, the Indirect Claimant
- 35 -
<Page>
shall obtain for the benefit of the PI Trust a release in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustees.
If an Indirect Claimant cannot meet the presumptive requirements set forth
above, including the requirement that the Indirect Claimant provide the PI Trust
with a full release of the Direct Claimant's claim, the Indirect Claimant may
request that the PI Trust review the Indirect PI Trust Claim individually to
determine whether the Indirect Claimant can establish under applicable state law
that the Indirect Claimant has paid a liability or obligation that the PI Trust
would otherwise have to the Direct Claimant. If the Indirect Claimant can show
that it has satisfied such a liability or obligation, the PI Trust shall
reimburse the Indirect Claimant the amount of the liability or obligation so
satisfied, times the then applicable Payment Percentage. However, in no event
shall such reimbursement to the Indirect Claimant be greater than the amount to
which the Direct Claimant would have otherwise been entitled. Further, the
liquidated value of any Indirect PI Trust Claim paid by the PI Trust to an
Indirect Claimant shall be treated as an offset to or reduction of the full
liquidated value of any PI Trust Claim that might be subsequently asserted by
the Direct Claimant against the PI Trust.
Any dispute between the PI Trust and an Indirect Claimant over whether the
Indirect Claimant has a right to reimbursement for any amount paid to a Direct
Claimant shall be subject to the ADR procedures provided in Section 5.10 below
and set forth in Attachment A hereto. If such dispute is not resolved by said
ADR procedures, the Indirect Claimant may litigate the dispute in the tort
system pursuant to Sections 5.11 above and 7.6 below.
The Trustees may develop and approve a separate proof of claim form for
Indirect PI Trust Claims. Indirect PI Trust Claims that have not been
disallowed, discharged, or otherwise resolved by prior order of the Bankruptcy
Court shall be processed in accordance with
- 36 -
<Page>
procedures to be developed and implemented by the Trustees consistent with the
provisions of this Section 5.6, which procedures (a) shall determine the
validity, allowability and enforceability of such claims; and (b) shall
otherwise provide the same liquidation and payment procedures and rights to the
holders of such claims as the PI Trust would have afforded the holders of the
underlying valid PI Trust Claims. Nothing in this TDP is intended to preclude a
trust to which asbestos-related liabilities are channeled from asserting an
Indirect PI Trust Claim against the PI Trust subject to the requirements set
forth herein.
5.7 EVIDENTIARY REQUIREMENTS
5.7(a) MEDICAL EVIDENCE.
5.7(a)(1) IN GENERAL. All diagnoses of a Disease Level
shall be accompanied by either (i) a statement by the physician providing the
diagnosis that at least 10 years have elapsed between the date of first exposure
to asbestos or asbestos-containing products and the diagnosis, or (ii) a history
of the claimant's exposure sufficient to establish a 10-year latency period. A
finding by a physician after the Petition Date that a claimant's disease is
"consistent with" or "compatible with" asbestosis will not alone be treated by
the PI Trust as a diagnosis.
5.7(a)(1)(A). DISEASE LEVELS I-IV. Except for claims filed
against OC, Fibreboard or another asbestos defendant in the tort system prior to
the Petition Date, all diagnoses of a non-malignant asbestos-related disease
(Disease Levels I-IV) shall be based in the case of a claimant who was living at
the time the claim was filed, upon a physical examination of the claimant by the
physician providing the diagnosis of the asbestos-related disease. In addition,
all living claimants must provide (i) for Disease Levels I-III, evidence of
Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease (as defined in Footnote 3
above); (ii)for
- 37 -
<Page>
Disease Level IV, an ILO reading of 2/1 or greater or pathological evidence of
asbestosis, and (iii) for Disease Levels III and IV, pulmonary function testing.
In the case of a claimant who was deceased at the time the claim was
filed, all diagnoses of a non-malignant asbestos-related disease (Disease Levels
I-IV) shall be based upon either (i) a physical examination of the claimant by
the physician providing the diagnosis of the asbestos-related disease; or
(ii)pathological evidence of the non-malignant asbestos-related disease; or
(iii) in the case of Disease Levels I-III, evidence of Bilateral
Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease (as defined in Footnote 3 above), and for
Disease Level IV, either an ILO reading of 2/1 or greater or pathological
evidence of asbestosis; and (iv) for either Disease Level III or IV, pulmonary
function testing.
5.7(a)(1)(B). DISEASE LEVELS V - VIII. All diagnoses of an
asbestos-related malignancy (Disease Levels V - VIII) shall be based upon either
(i) a physical examination of the claimant by the physician providing the
diagnosis of the asbestos-related disease, or (ii) on a diagnosis of such a
malignant Disease Level by a board-certified pathologist.
5.7(a)(1)(C). EXCEPTION TO THE EXCEPTION FOR CERTAIN
PRE-PETITION CLAIMS. If the holder of a PI Trust Claim that was filed against
OC, Fibreboard or another defendant in the tort system prior to the Petition
Date has not provided the PI Trust with a diagnosis of the asbestos-related
disease by a physician who conducted a physical examination of the holder as
described in Section 5.7(a)(1)(A), but the holder has available such a diagnosis
by an examining physician engaged by the holder, or the holder has filed such
diagnosis with another asbestos-related personal injury settlement trust that
requires such evidence, the holder
- 38 -
<Page>
shall provide such diagnosis to the PI Trust notwithstanding the exception in
Section 5.7(a)(1)(A).
5.7(a)(2) CREDIBILITY OF MEDICAL EVIDENCE. Before making
any payment to a claimant, the PI Trust must have reasonable confidence that the
medical evidence provided in support of the claim is credible and consistent
with recognized medical standards. The PI Trust may require the submission of
X-rays, CT scans, detailed results of pulmonary function tests, laboratory
tests, tissue samples, results of medical examination or reviews of other
medical evidence, and may require that medical evidence submitted comply with
recognized medical standards regarding equipment, testing methods and procedure
to assure that such evidence is reliable. Medical evidence (i) that is of a kind
shown to have been received in evidence by a state or federal judge at trial,
(ii) that is consistent with evidence submitted to OC to settle for payment
similar disease cases prior to OC 's bankruptcy, or (iii) a diagnosis by a
physician shown to have previously qualified as a medical expert with respect to
the asbestos-related disease in question before a state or federal judge, is
presumptively reliable, although the PI Trust may seek to rebut the presumption.
In addition, claimants who otherwise meet the requirements of this TDP for
payment of a PI Trust Claim shall be paid irrespective of the results in any
litigation at anytime between the claimant and any other defendant in the tort
system. However, any relevant evidence submitted in a proceeding in the tort
system involving another defendant, other than any findings of fact, a verdict,
or a judgment, may be introduced by either the claimant or the PI Trust in any
Individual Review proceeding conducted pursuant to 5.3(b) or any Extraordinary
Claim proceeding conducted pursuant to 5.4(a).
- 39 -
<Page>
5.7(b) EXPOSURE EVIDENCE
5.7(b)(1) IN GENERAL. As set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) above, to
qualify for any Disease Level, the claimant must demonstrate a minimum exposure
to an asbestos-containing product manufactured or distributed by OC or
Fibreboard. Claims based on conspiracy theories that involve no exposure to an
asbestos-containing product produced by OC or Fibreboard are not compensable
under this TDP. To meet the presumptive exposure requirements of Expedited
Review set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) above, the claimant must show (i) for all
Disease Levels, OC or Fibreboard Exposure as defined in Section 5.7(b)(3) below
prior to December 31, 1982; (ii) for Asbestos/Pleural Disease Level II, six
months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, plus five years
cumulative occupational asbestos exposure; and (iii) for Asbestosis/Pleural
Disease (Disease Level III), Severe Asbestosis (Disease Level IV), Other Cancer
(Disease Level V) or Lung Cancer 1 (Disease Level VII), the claimant must show
six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, plus
Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos as defined below. If the claimant
cannot meet the relevant presumptive exposure requirements for a Disease Level
eligible for Expedited Review, the claimant may seek Individual Review pursuant
to Section 5.3(b) above of his or her exposure to an asbestos-containing product
for which by OC or Fibreboard has legal responsibility.
5.7(b)(2) SIGNIFICANT OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE. "Significant Occupational
Exposure" means employment for a cumulative period of at least five years, with
a minimum of two years prior to December 31, 1982 in an industry and an
occupation in which the claimant (a) handled raw asbestos fibers on a regular
basis; (b) fabricated asbestos-containing products so that the claimant in the
fabrication process was exposed on a regular basis to raw asbestos fibers; (c)
altered, repaired or otherwise worked with an asbestos-containing product
- 40 -
<Page>
such that the claimant was exposed on a regular basis to asbestos fibers; or (d)
was employed in an industry and occupation such that the claimant worked on a
regular basis in close proximity to workers engaged in the activities described
in (a), (b) and/or (c).
5.7(b)(3) OC OR FIBREBOARD EXPOSURE. All PI Trust claimants must
demonstrate meaningful and credible exposure, which occurred prior to December
31, 1982, to asbestos or asbestos-containing products supplied, specified,
manufactured, installed, maintained, or repaired by either OC or Fibreboard,
and/or any entity, including an OC or Fibreboard contracting unit, for which OC
or Fibreboard has legal liability. That meaningful and credible exposure
evidence may be established by an affidavit of the claimant, by an affidavit of
a co-worker or the affidavit of a family member in the case of a deceased
claimant (providing the PI Trust finds such evidence reasonably reliable), by
invoices, employment, construction or similar records, or by other credible
evidence. The specific exposure information required by the PI Trust to process
a claim under either Expedited or Individual Review is set forth on the proof of
claim form to be used by the PI Trust, which is attached as Attachment B hereto.
The PI Trust can also require submission of other or additional evidence of
exposure when it deems such to be necessary.
5.8 CLAIMS AUDIT PROGRAM. The PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the
Future Claimants' Representative may develop methods for auditing the
reliability of medical evidence, including additional reading of X-rays, CT
scans and verification of pulmonary function tests, as well as the reliability
of evidence of exposure to asbestos, including exposure to asbestos-containing
products manufactured or distributed by OC or Fibreboard prior to December 31,
1982. In the event that the PI Trust reasonably determines that any individual
or
- 41 -
<Page>
entity has engaged in a pattern or practice of providing unreliable medical
evidence to the Trust, it may decline to accept additional evidence from such
provider in the future.
Further, in the event that an audit reveals that fraudulent information has
been provided to the PI Trust, the PI Trust may penalize any claimant or
claimant's attorney by disallowing the PI Trust Claim and/or by other means
including, but not limited to, requiring the source of the fraudulent
information to pay the costs associated with the audit and any future audit or
audits, reordering the priority of payment of all affected claimants' PI Trust
Claims, raising the level of scrutiny of additional information submitted from
the same source or sources, refusing to accept additional evidence from the same
source or sources, seeking the prosecution of the claimant or claimant's
attorney for presenting a fraudulent claim in violation of 18 U.S.C. Section
152, and seeking sanctions from the Bankruptcy Court.
5.9 SECOND DISEASE (MALIGNANCY) CLAIMS. The holder of a PI Trust Claim
involving a non-malignant asbestos-related disease (Disease Levels I through IV)
may file a new PI Trust Claim against the PI Trust for a malignant disease
(Disease Levels V - VIII) that is subsequently diagnosed. Any additional
payments to which such claimant may be entitled with respect to such malignant
asbestos-related disease shall not be reduced by the amount paid for the
non-malignant asbestos-related disease, provided that the malignant disease had
not been diagnosed at the time the claimant was paid with respect to his or her
original claim involving the non-malignant disease.
5.10 ARBITRATION.
5.10(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF ADR PROCEDURES. The PI Trust, with the
consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants' Representative, shall institute
binding and non-binding arbitration procedures in accordance with the ADR
Procedures included in Attachment A hereto
- 42 -
<Page>
for resolving disputes concerning whether a Pre-Petition settlement agreement
with OC or Fibreboard is binding and judicially enforceable in the absence of a
Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court determining the issue, whether the PI
Trust's outright rejection or denial of a claim was proper, or whether the
claimant's medical condition or exposure history meets the requirements of this
TDP for purposes of categorizing a claim involving Disease Levels I - VIII.
Binding and non-binding arbitration shall also be available for resolving
disputes over the liquidated value of a claim involving Disease Levels II -
VIII.
In all arbitrations, the arbitrator shall consider the same medical and
exposure evidentiary requirements that are set forth in Section 5.7 above. In
the case of an arbitration involving the liquidated value of a claim involving
Disease Levels II - VIII, the arbitrator shall consider the same valuation
factors that are set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) above. With respect to all
claims eligible for arbitration, the claimant, but not the PI Trust, may elect
either non-binding or binding arbitration. The ADR Procedures set forth in
Attachment A hereto may be modified by the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC
and the Future Claimants' Representative.
5.10(b) CLAIMS ELIGIBLE FOR ARBITRATION. In order to be eligible for
arbitration, the claimant must first complete the Individual Review Process set
forth in Section 5.3(b) above, as well as either the Pro-Bono Evaluation or the
Mediation processes set forth in the ADR Procedures included in Attachment A,
with respect to the disputed issue. Individual Review will be treated as
completed for these purposes when the claim has been individually reviewed by
the PI Trust, the PI Trust has made an offer on the claim, the claimant has
rejected the liquidated value resulting from the Individual Review, and the
claimant has notified the PI Trust of the rejection in writing. Individual
Review will also be treated as completed if the PI Trust has rejected the claim.
- 43 -
<Page>
5.10(c) LIMITATIONS ON AND PAYMENT OF ARBITRATION AWARDS. In the
case of a non-Extraordinary Claim involving Disease Levels II - VIII, the
arbitrator shall not return an award in excess of the Maximum Value for the
appropriate Disease Level as set forth in Section 5.3(a)(4) above, and for an
Extraordinary Claim involving one of those Disease Levels, the arbitrator shall
not return an award greater than the Maximum Extraordinary Value for such a
claim as set forth in Section 5.4(a) above. A claimant who submits to
arbitration and who accepts the arbitral award will receive payments in the same
manner as one who accepts the PI Trust's original valuation of the claim.
5.11 LITIGATION. Claimants who elect non-binding arbitration and then
reject their arbitral awards retain the right to institute a lawsuit in the tort
system against the PI Trust pursuant to Section 7.6 below. However, a claimant
shall be eligible for payment of a judgment for monetary damages obtained in the
tort system from the PI Trust's available cash only as provided in Section 7.7
below.
SECTION VI
CLAIMS MATERIALS
6.1 CLAIMS MATERIALS. The PI Trust shall prepare suitable and efficient
claims materials ("Claims Materials") for all PI Trust Claims, and shall provide
such Claims Materials upon a written request for such materials to the PI Trust.
The proof of claim form to be submitted to the PI Trust shall require the
claimant to assert the highest Disease Level for which the claim qualifies at
the time of filing, and shall include a certification by the claimant or his or
her
- 44 -
<Page>
attorney sufficient to meet the requirements of Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure. In developing its claim filing procedures, the PI Trust
shall make every reasonable effort to provide claimants with the opportunity to
utilize currently available technology at their discretion, including filing
claims and supporting documentation over the internet and electronically by disk
or CD-rom. A copy of the proof of claim forms to be used by the PI Trust for OC
and Fibreboard Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims and unliquidated PI Trust Claims
is included in Attachment B hereto. The proof of claim forms may be changed by
the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants'
Representative.
6.2 CONTENT OF CLAIMS MATERIALS. The Claims Materials shall include a copy
of this TDP, such instructions as the Trustees shall approve, and a detailed
proof of claim form. If feasible, the forms used by the PI Trust to obtain
claims information shall be the same or substantially similar to those used by
other asbestos claims resolution organizations. Instead of collecting some or
all of the claims information from a claimant or the claimant's attorney, the PI
Trust may also obtain such information from electronic data bases maintained by
any other asbestos claims resolution organization. However, the PI Trust shall
inform the claimant that it plans to obtain information as available from such
other organizations and may do so unless the claimant objects in writing or
provides such information directly to the PI Trust. If requested by the
claimant, the PI Trust shall accept information provided electronically. The
claimant may, but will not be required to, provide the PI Trust with evidence of
recovery from other asbestos defendants and claims resolution organizations.
6.3 WITHDRAWAL OR DEFERRAL OF CLAIMS. A claimant can withdraw a PI Trust
Claim at any time upon written notice to the PI Trust and file another claim
subsequently without affecting the status of the claim for statute of
limitations purposes, but any such claim filed after
- 45 -
<Page>
withdrawal shall be given a place in the FIFO Processing Queue based the date of
such subsequent filing. A claimant can also request that the processing of his
or her PI Trust Claim by the PI Trust be deferred for a period not to exceed
three (3) years without affecting the status of the claim for statute of
limitation purposes, in which case the claimant shall also retain his or her
original place in the FIFO Processing Queue. Except for PI Trust Claims held by
representatives of deceased or incompetent claimants for which court or probate
approval of the PI Trust's offer is required, or a PI Trust Claim for which
deferral status has been granted, a claim will be deemed to have been withdrawn
if the claimant neither accepts, rejects, nor initiates arbitration within six
months of the PI Trust's written offer of payment or rejection of the claim.
Upon written request and good cause, the PI Trust may extend either the deferral
or withdrawal period for an additional six months.
6.4 FILING REQUIREMENTS AND FEES. The Trustees shall have the discretion
to determine, with the consent of the TAC and the Futures Representative, (a)
whether a claimant must have previously filed the PI Trust Claim in the tort
system to be eligible to file the claim with the PI Trust and (b) whether a
filing fee should be required for any PI Trust claims.
SECTION VII
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR LIQUIDATING AND PAYING CLAIMS
7.1 SHOWING REQUIRED. To establish a valid PI Trust Claim, a claimant must
meet the requirements set forth in this TDP. The PI Trust may require the
submission of X-rays, CT scans, laboratory tests, medical examinations or
reviews, other medical evidence, or any other evidence to support or verify the
PI Trust Claim, and may further require that medical evidence submitted comply
with recognized medical standards regarding equipment, testing methods, and
procedures to assure that such evidence is reliable.
- 46 -

7.2 COSTS CONSIDERED. Notwithstanding any provisions of this TDP to the
contrary, the Trustees shall always give appropriate consideration to the cost
of investigating and uncovering invalid PI Trust Claims so that the payment of
valid PI Trust Claims is not further impaired by such processes with respect to
issues related to the validity of the medical evidence supporting a PI Trust
Claim. The Trustees shall also have the latitude to make judgments regarding the
amount of transaction costs to be expended by the PI Trust so that valid PI
Trust Claims are not unduly further impaired by the costs of additional
investigation. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustees, in appropriate
circumstances, from contesting the validity of any claim against the PI Trust
whatever the costs, or declining to accept medical evidence from sources that
the Trustees have determined to be unreliable pursuant to the Claims Audit
Program described in Section 5.7 above.
7.3 DISCRETION TO VARY THE ORDER AND AMOUNTS OF PAYMENTS IN EVENT OF
LIMITED LIQUIDITY. Consistent with the provisions hereof and subject to the FIFO
Processing and Liquidation Queues, the Maximum Annual Payment, the Maximum
Available Payment and the Claims Payment Ratio requirements set forth above, the
Trustees shall proceed as quickly as possible to liquidate valid PI Trust
Claims, and shall make payments to holders of such claims in accordance with
this TDP from the OC and/or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts promptly as monies become
available and as claims are liquidated, while maintaining sufficient assets
within each Sub-Account to pay future valid claims in substantially the same
manner.
Because the PI Trust's income over time remains uncertain, and decisions
about payments must be based on estimates that cannot be done precisely, they
may have to be revised in light of experiences over time, and there can be no
guarantee of any specific level of payment for claims against either
Sub-Account. However, the Trustees shall use their best efforts to treat
- 47 -
<Page>
similar claims in substantially the same manner, consistent with their duties as
Trustees, the purposes of the PI Trust, the established allocation of monies to
claims in Categories A and B, and the practical limitations imposed by the
inability to predict the future with precision. In the event that either or both
of the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts face temporary periods of limited
liquidity, the Trustees may, with the consent of the TAC and the Future
Claimants' Representative, suspend the normal order of payment from such
Sub-Account, may temporarily limit or suspend payments from such Sub-Account
altogether, and may offer a Reduced Payment Option for the Sub-Account as
described in Section 2.5 above.
7.4 PUNITIVE DAMAGES. In determining the value of any liquidated or
unliquidated PI Trust Claim, punitive or exemplary damages, i.e., damages other
than compensatory damages, shall not be considered or allowed, notwithstanding
their availability in the tort system.
7.5 INTEREST.
7.5(a) IN GENERAL. Except for PI Trust Claims involving Other
Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I - Cash Discount Payment) and subject to the
limitations set forth below, interest shall be paid on all PI Trust Claims with
respect to which the claimant has had to wait a year or more for payment,
provided, however, that no claimant shall receive interest for a period in
excess of seven (7) years. The applicable interest rate shall be six percent
(6%) simple interest per annum for each of the first five (5) years after the
Effective Date; thereafter, the PI Trust shall have the discretion to change the
annual interest rate with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants'
Representative.
7.5(b) UNLIQUIDATED PI TRUST CLAIMS. Interest shall be payable on
the Scheduled Value of any unliquidated PI Trust Claim that meets the
requirements of Disease Levels II - V, VII and VIII, whether the claim is
liquidated under Expedited Review, Individual
- 48 -
<Page>
Review, or by arbitration. No interest shall be paid on any claim liquidated in
the tort system pursuant to section 5.11 above and 7.6 below. Interest on an
unliquidated PI Trust Claim that meets the requirements of Disease Level VI
shall be based on the Average Value of such a claim. Interest on all such
unliquidated claims shall be measured from the date of payment back to the
earliest of the date that is one year after the date on which (a) the claim was
filed against OC or Fibreboard prior to the Petition Date; (b) the claim was
filed against another defendant in the tort system on or after the Petition Date
but before the Effective Date; or (c) the claim was filed with the PI Trust
after the Effective Date.
7.5(c) INTEREST ON LIQUIDATED PRE-PETITION CLAIMS. Interest shall
also be payable on the liquidated value of all Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims
described in Section 5.2(a) above. In the case of Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims
liquidated by verdict or judgment, interest shall be measured from the date of
payment back to the date that is one year after the date that the verdict or
judgment was entered. In the case of Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims liquidated
by a binding, judicially enforceable settlement, interest shall be measured from
the date of payment back to the date that is one year after the Petition Date.
7.6 SUITS IN THE TORT SYSTEM. If the holder of a disputed claim disagrees
with the PI Trust's determination regarding the Disease Level of the claim, the
claimant's exposure history or the liquidated value of the claim, and if the
holder has first submitted the claim to non-binding arbitration as provided in
Section 5.10 above, the holder may file a lawsuit in the Claimant's Jurisdiction
as defined in Section 5.3(b)(2) above. Any such lawsuit must be filed by the
claimant in her or her own right and name and not as a member or representative
of a class, and no such lawsuit may be consolidated with any other lawsuit. All
defenses (including, with respect to the PI Trust, all defenses which could have
been asserted by OC or Fibreboard) shall
- 49 -
<Page>
be available to both sides at trial; however, the PI Trust may waive any defense
and/or concede any issue of fact or law. If the claimant was alive at the time
the initial pre-petition complaint was filed or on the date the proof of claim
was filed with the PI Trust, the case will be treated as a personal injury case
with all personal injury damages to be considered even if the claimant has died
during the pendency of the claim.
7.7 PAYMENT OF JUDGMENTS FOR MONEY DAMAGES. If and when an OC or
Fibreboard claimant obtains a judgment in the tort system, the claim shall be
placed in the relevant FIFO Payment Queue based on the date on which the
judgment became final. Thereafter, the claimant shall receive from the OC or
Fibreboard Sub-Account an initial payment (subject to the applicable Payment
Percentage, the Maximum Available Payment, and the Claims Payment Ratio
provisions set forth above) of an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of
the greater of (i) the PI Trust's last offer to the claimant or (ii) the award
that the claimant declined in non-binding arbitration. The claimant shall
receive the balance of the judgment, if any, in five equal installments in years
six (6) through ten (10) following the year of the initial payment (also subject
to the applicable Payment Percentage, the Maximum Available Payment and the
Claims Payment Ratio provisions set forth above).
In the case of non-Extraordinary claims involving Disease Levels II - VIII,
the total amounts paid with respect to such claims shall not exceed the Maximum
Values for such Disease Levels set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4). In the case of
Extraordinary Claims, the total amounts paid with respect to such claims shall
not exceed the Maximum Value for such claims set forth in Section 5.4(a) above.
Under no circumstances shall interest be paid pursuant to Section 7.5 or under
any statute on any judgments obtained in the tort system pursuant to Sections
5.11 and 7.6 above.
- 50 -
<Page>
7.8 RELEASES. The Trustees shall have the discretion to determine the form
and substance of the releases to be provided to the PI Trust in order to
maximize recovery for claimants against other tortfeasors without increasing the
risk or amount of claims for indemnification or contribution from the PI Trust.
As a condition to making any payment to a claimant, the PI Trust shall obtain a
general, partial, or limited release as appropriate in accordance with the
applicable state or other law. If allowed by state law, the endorsing of a check
or draft for payment by or on behalf of a claimant shall constitute such a
release.
7.9 THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. Nothing in this TDP shall preclude the PI Trust
from contracting with another asbestos claims resolution organization to provide
services to the PI Trust so long as decisions about the categorization and
liquidated value of PI Trust Claims are based on the relevant provisions of this
TDP, including the Disease Levels, Scheduled Values, Average Values, Maximum
Values, and Medical/Exposure Criteria set forth above.
7.10 PI TRUST DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Periodically, but not less often
than once a year, the PI Trust shall make available to claimants and other
interested parties, the number of claims by disease levels that have been
resolved both by the Individual Review Process and by arbitration as well as by
litigation in the tort system, indicating the amounts of the awards and the
averages of the awards by jurisdiction.
SECTION VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 AMENDMENTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustees may
amend, modify, delete, or add to any provisions of this TDP (including, without
limitation, amendments to conform this TDP to advances in scientific or medical
knowledge or other changes in circumstances), provided they first obtain the
consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants'
- 51 -
<Page>
Representative pursuant to the Consent Process set forth in Sections 5.7(b) and
6.6(b) of the PI Trust Agreement, except that the right to amend the Claims
Payment Ratio is governed by the restrictions in Section 2.5 above, and the
right to adjust the Payment Percentage is governed by Section 4.2 above.
8.2 SEVERABILITY. Should any provision contained in this TDP be determined
to be unenforceable, such determination shall in no way limit or affect the
enforceability and operative effect of any and all other provisions of this TDP.
Should any provision contained in this TDP be determined to be inconsistent with
or contrary to OC's or Fibreboard's obligations to any insurance company
providing insurance coverage to OC and/or Fibreboard in respect of claims for
personal injury based on exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured
or produced by OC or Fibreboard, the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and
the Future Claimants' Representative may amend this TDP and/or the PI Trust
Agreement to make the provision of either or both documents consistent with the
duties and obligations of OC or Fibreboard to said insurance company.
8.3 GOVERNING LAW. Except for purposes of determining the liquidated value
of any PI Trust Claim, administration of this TDP shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. The law
governing the liquidation of PI Trust Claims in the case of Individual Review,
arbitration or litigation in the tort system shall be the law of the Claimant's
Jurisdiction as described in Section 5.3(b)(2) above.

ATTACHMENT A
OWENS CORNING/FIBREBOARD
ASBESTOS PERSONAL INJURY TRUST
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES
<Page>
OWENS CORNING/FIBREBOARD PI TRUST
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES
Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Owens Corning/Fibreboard PI Trust Distribution
Procedures (the "TDP"), the Owens Corning/Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury
Trust ("PI Trust") hereby establishes the following alternative dispute
resolution ("ADR") procedures. All capitalized terms herein shall be as defined
and/or referenced within the TDP.
I. OVERVIEW
The PI Trust shall appoint a Private Adjudication Center, at the cost of
the PI Trust, to administer the ADR proceedings. If the claimant chooses
not to submit supplemental information or rejects the PI Trust's final
claim evaluation based upon its analysis of such supplemental information,
then the claimant may request ADR. To initiate these procedures, the
claimant must make a written request to the PI Trust. Within twenty (20)
days of a claimant's request for ADR, the PI Trust will send the claimant
an ADR packet containing the documents necessary to pursue the ADR process.
The ADR procedures shall not be construed as imparting to any claimant any
substantive or procedural rights beyond those conferred by the TDP.
The ADR process available to the claimant includes both non-binding and
binding elements. In addition, there are mandatory as well as voluntary
options that can/will be utilized by the claimant and the PI Trust in
proceeding toward settlement. The ADR procedures must be pursued by
claimants on an individual basis. Claims of different claimants cannot be
grouped together even if the claimants are represented by the same counsel,
unless the PI Trust, in its sole discretion, decides it would be
expeditious to conduct ADR proceedings with respect to more than one claim
involving differently exposed claimants with those claimants'
representative. In such a case, however, the arbitrator, mediator or other
neutral must individually value each such claim using the valuation factors
set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) of the TDP, and the claimants' positions in
the PI Trust's FIFO Processing and Payment Queues must be separately
maintained.. The requisite steps in the process are as follows, in order:
MANDATORY ADR PROCEEDINGS (TWO STAGES)
STAGE ONE (CLAIMANT MUST SELECT ONE):
1. Pro Bono Evaluation
2. Mediation
STAGE TWO: ARBITRATION (BINDING OR NON-BINDING)
<Page>
INITIATION OF ADR
Within twenty (20) days of a claimant's request for ADR, the PI Trust will
send the claimant an ADR packet containing a copy of these procedures and
the following:
1. A Summary Outline of the ADR procedures with the time limits
identified;
2. Form Affidavit of Completeness;
3. Election Form for Pro Bono Evaluation;
4. Request for Mediation Form;
5. Election Form and Agreement to submit to Binding Arbitration; and
6. Election Form and Agreement to submit to Non-binding Arbitration.
A claimant who wishes to proceed through the ADR process must engage in one
of the two ADR options (pro bono evaluation or mediation) before any form
of arbitration. Only after either party rejects a non-binding arbitration
award, may a claimant proceed to then commence a lawsuit in the tort
system. It is the claimant's responsibility to comply with the ADR time
deadlines. Although the deadlines may be extended by agreement or for cause
shown, failure to comply with a deadline without obtaining an extension may
result in withdrawal of the claim. Promptly after a claimant fails to
comply with a specified deadline without obtaining an extension, the PI
Trust shall send the claimant written notice of the failure to comply. If
the claimant does not take any action on the claim, then thirty (30) days
thereafter the claim will be deemed withdrawn under Section 6.4 of the TDP.
If the claimant requests arbitration, either binding or non-binding, then
the PI Trust shall execute the appropriate election form and agreement. If
both parties agree to binding arbitration, then the claimant and the PI
Trust waive their respective rights to seek a jury trial as set forth in
the TDP.
If either party rejects a non-binding arbitration award, and the claimant
has otherwise complied with the requirements of these ADR/Arbitration
procedures and the Plan, then the claimant may commence a lawsuit against
the PI Trust in an appropriate jurisdiction.
II. ADR PROCEEDINGS SUMMARY
A. SHOWING REQUIRED
As set forth in the TDP, in order to establish a valid Asbestos
Personal Injury Claim, a claimant must among other things make a
demonstration of exposure to OC and/or Fibreboard asbestos-containing
products.
B. PRO BONO EVALUATION
This ADR alternative consists of an evaluation of the claim by an
evaluator selected from a pro bono panel. The panel shall be comprised
of asbestos litigation attorneys as mutually agreed upon between the
PI Trust Advisory Committee (the "TAC") and the PI Trustees. The TAC
will be provided, on a
<Page>
quarterly basis, with a list of the pro bono panelists. Each
evaluation will have a pro bono evaluator randomly selected by the
Private Adjudication Center from the list of pro bono panelists.
Within fifteen (15) days of the claimant's request for the pro bono
evaluation, the individual pro bono evaluator shall be randomly chosen
from the approved panel.
A pro bono evaluation will be done by document submission. The
identity of the pro bono evaluator will not be disclosed to the
claimant and the claimant's attorney. The PI Trust encourages
identification of and not anonymity as to the alleged injured party so
that medical records can be transmitted in their original form. The
Private Adjudication Center will communicate to the parties the pro
bono evaluator's written evaluation. The parties will communicate
their respective rejection or acceptance of settlement upon the terms
of the written evaluation. If either or both parties reject settlement
upon those terms, then the claimant may submit an Election Form and
Agreement for Binding or Non-binding Arbitration.
C. MEDIATION
The claimant may request telephone mediation as an ADR alternative.
This process will require detailed written submissions to familiarize
the mediator with the respective positions. The PI Trust shall
establish and maintain a list of qualified regional mediators
compensated by the PI Trust. The Private Adjudication Center shall
select a qualified mediator from the list based upon location of
claimant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Request for
Mediation Form signed by the claimant and the PI Trust.
Claims shall be handled by each mediator in the order received by him
or her, to the extent practicable. Any party may be represented by
legal counsel. The mediator shall review the claim and the positions
of the parties, such information as the parties may wish to submit as
to a fair and equitable settlement, and all documents and medical
reports relevant to the claim as submitted by the parties. At least
five (5) days prior to the mediation conference, claimant and the PI
Trust shall each submit to the mediator a detailed written submission
consisting of a confidential statement outlining the claimant's
medical condition, exposure to OC and/or Fibreboard products and each
party's detailed position on overall claim value.
The mediator shall confer with the parties and/or their legal
representatives, individually and jointly. Such conference shall be
conducted by telephone unless both parties agree otherwise. A
representative of the PI Trust with settlement authority must
participate in the conference. The mediator may request, but not
require, that the claimant personally participate in the conference.
Such conference shall be in the nature of a settlement conference. The
mediator shall work with both sides toward reaching an acceptable,
reasonable settlement. The
<Page>
mediator does not have the authority to impose a settlement on the
parties. Ten (10) days after the conclusion of the mediation, if the
parties have not settled the matter, the claimant may submit to the PI
Trust an Election Form and Agreement for Binding or Non-binding
Arbitration.
D. BINDING AND NON-BINDING ARBITRATION PROCEDURES
Upon completion of either pro bono evaluation or mediation, the
claimant may request non-binding and/or binding arbitration. Binding
arbitration will be conducted in the "final offer" format also known
as "baseball style" arbitration. If the claim is arbitrated in either
the binding or non-binding format, then the arbitrator shall return an
award no greater than the Maximum Value for the category in which the
claim properly falls in the Tables set forth in the TDP, unless the
Extraordinary Claims Review Panel has previously determined that the
claim should receive extraordinary claim treatment.
If the claimant requests arbitration, either binding or non-binding,
then the PI Trust shall execute the appropriate Election Form and
Agreement. The PI Trust may not decline the claimant's election of
either binding or non-binding arbitration, but reserves all rights to
reject any award in a non-binding arbitration proceeding. If the
parties agree to engage in binding arbitration, then the claimant and
the PI Trust waive their respective rights to seek a jury trial as set
forth in the TDP.
III. RULES GOVERNING PRO BONO EVALUATION AND MEDIATION
Within ninety (90) days of a claimant's receipt of the ADR packet from
the PI Trust, the claimant must elect one of the two ADR procedures
and return the appropriate form to the PI Trust along with an executed
Affidavit of Completeness.
A. RULES GOVERNING PRO BONO EVALUATION
1. ELECTION AND TIME LIMITS
a. If the claimant chooses pro bono evaluation, then within
ninety (90) days of claimant's receipt of the ADR packet,
the claimant must send the PI Trust the Election Form for
Pro Bono Evaluation. (See Attachment A). The claimant or
his/her attorney shall personally sign the Election Form for
Pro Bono Evaluation.
b. The claimant must also sign an Affidavit of Completeness
(See Attachment B) and return it to the PI Trust with a copy
to the Private Adjudication Center within ninety (90) days
of receipt of the ADR packet. The claim will not proceed
until the PI Trust has received a completed election form
and Affidavit of Completeness from the claimant. The
Affidavit of Completeness shall verify that
<Page>
all information to be considered in the ADR process has been
provided to the PI Trust while the claim was under review by
the PI Trust.
c. After receiving the signed election form and Affidavit of
Completeness, the PI Trust shall review and sign the
election form within five (5) days of receipt.
d. Within fifteen (15) days from the date the PI Trust notifies
the claimant's counsel of the PI Trust's consent to the
election form, the PI Trust shall send a copy of the signed
election form, the Affidavit of Completeness together with
complete copies of all materials submitted to the PI Trust
by the claimant and factual information in the PI Trust
file, if any, gathered by the PI Trust from other sources,
and a completed Affidavit of Accuracy to the claimant's
counsel and the Private Adjudication Center who will forward
the materials to the selected pro bono evaluator at the time
the evaluator is selected. The PI Trust may not send the
Private Adjudication Center any materials in the PI Trust
file that have not previously been provided to the claimant.
2. SELECTION OF THE PRO BONO EVALUATOR
Within fifteen (15) days of the date the Private Adjudication
Center received the claimant's election agreement, the Private
Adjudication Center shall randomly select the pro bono evaluator
from the list of pro bono panelists and notify the parties that
the evaluator has been designated without disclosing the identity
of the evaluator. The pro bono evaluator shall be selected from a
panel of asbestos litigation plaintiff attorneys who have
volunteered to serve the PI Trust at the request of the TAC. Pro
bono assignments will be made on a rotating basis.
The identity of the pro bono evaluator shall not be disclosed to
the claimant and the claimant's attorney. The injured party
should not be anonymous so that medical records can be
transmitted in their original form.
3. SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN ARGUMENTS
Fifteen (15) days after the PI Trust sends the complete file
materials to the Private Adjudication Center, the claimant and
the PI Trust shall simultaneously exchange and submit written
arguments to the Private Adjudication Center. The Private
Adjudication Center will immediately forward the written
arguments to the pro bono evaluator. The written arguments shall
comply with the following rules:
<Page>
a. The argument shall not exceed ten (10) double spaced
typewritten pages. In order to preserve anonymity in a pro
bono evaluation, the name of counsel should not be
mentioned. The argument may not introduce factual matter not
contained in the documents in the PI Trust's file. The
evaluator shall disregard any argument that does not comply
with this rule.
b. When a party fails to submit the written argument within the
fifteen (15) days, the party waives written argument and the
pro bono evaluator shall disregard any argument received
after that time.
4. EVALUATION OF DOCUMENTS
The pro bono evaluation is only a document review with complete
anonymity preserved between claimant's counsel and the pro bono
evaluator. The documents that the pro bono evaluator may consider
shall be limited to the following:
a. The documents in PI Trust's file forwarded to the pro bono
evaluator.
b. The claimant's Affidavit of Completeness and the PI Trust's
Affidavit of Accuracy.
c. The written arguments of the claimant and the PI Trust that
comply with the rules for written arguments set forth above.
d. Before the Private Adjudication Center forwards any
documents to the pro bono evaluator it will redact all
references to claimant's counsel.
5. WRITTEN EVALUATION AND PROCEDURE FOR ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION
Within fifteen (15) days after the submission of written
arguments, the pro bono evaluator shall submit a written
evaluation of the claim to the Private Adjudication Center who
will promptly mail it to the parties.
Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the pro bono
evaluator's written evaluation, the claimant and the PI Trust
will each communicate in writing to the Private Adjudication
Center whether they will accept the amount of the pro bono
evaluator's written evaluation to settle the claim. If both
parties accept, then the Private Adjudication Center will
immediately inform both parties that they have achieved a
settlement and the PI Trust shall pay the claim pursuant to the
TDP. If either or both parties reject the pro bono evaluator's
written evaluation, then within five (5) days of
<Page>
receipt of both parties' written communication, the Private
Adjudication Center shall send each party a notice of rejection
of pro bono evaluator's written evaluation that will not indicate
whether the opposing party has accepted or rejected the pro bono
evaluator's written evaluation amount.
6. ARBITRATION MAY PROCEED AFTER REJECTION OF PRO BONO EVALUATOR'S
WRITTEN EVALUATION
Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice of rejection
of pro bono evaluator's written evaluation, the claimant may
request arbitration by returning to the PI Trust a signed
Election Form and Agreement for either Binding or Non-binding
Arbitration.
B. RULES GOVERNING MEDIATION
1. ELECTION
If the claimant chooses mediation, then the claimant shall submit
to the PI Trust a signed Request for Mediation Form (Attachment
C) along with an executed Affidavit of Completeness within ninety
(90) days of claimant's receipt of the ADR packet. Within five
(5) days of the PI Trust's receipt of the signed Request for
Mediation Form, the PI Trust shall review and sign the form and
forward a signed copy along with an executed Affidavit of
Accuracy to the claimant and the Private Adjudication Center.
2. SELECTION OF MEDIATOR
Within fifteen (15) days of the signed Request for Mediation
Form, the Private Adjudication Center shall retain a mediator
from the approved list of mediators. The Private Adjudication
Center shall select the mediator based upon the region in which
the claimant is located. The mediator shall be compensated by the
PI Trust. The Private Adjudication Center shall schedule a
mediation conference within sixty (60) days after receipt of the
signed request for mediation form. The mediation will be
conducted by telephone conference unless the parties agree
otherwise. Scheduling of the conference shall be coordinated with
the mediator and the conferences shall take place in the order
received by the mediator, to the extent practicable.
3. SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS TO MEDIATOR
At least five (5) days prior to the mediation conference, the
claimant and the PI Trust shall each submit to the mediator a
confidential statement outlining the claimant's medical
condition, exposure to OC and/or Fibreboard products, and each
party's position on overall claim value. The parties may also
submit to the mediator documents and medical reports
<Page>
that they believe are relevant to the claim. The mediator shall
review the claim and the positions of the parties and the other
information that the parties submit prior to the mediation
conference. The mediation briefs shall comply with the following
rules:
a. The confidential statement should not exceed ten (10) double
spaced typewritten pages exclusive of attachments.
b. The submission may not introduce factual matter not
contained in the documents in the PI Trust's file as
certified by the Affidavit of Completeness.
4. MEDIATION CONFERENCE
Any party may be represented by legal counsel at the mediation
conference. The mediator shall confer with the parties' legal
representatives and, if the claimant is present and consents,
with the claimant. A representative of the PI Trust with
settlement authority must participate in the conference. The
mediator may request, but not require, that the claimant
personally participate in the conference.
5. NEGOTIATIONS AT THE MEDIATION CONFERENCE
The mediator may facilitate settlement in any manner the mediator
believes is appropriate. The mediator will help the parties focus
on their underlying interests, explore resolution alternatives
and develop settlement options. The mediator will decide when to
hold joint conferences, and when to confer separately with each
party.
The parties are expected to initiate and convey to the mediator
proposals for settlement. Each party shall provide a rationale
for any settlement terms proposed. Finally, if the parties fail
to develop mutually acceptable settlement terms, before
terminating the procedure, and only with the consent of the
parties, (a) the mediator may submit to the parties a final
settlement proposal; and (b) if the mediator believes he/she is
qualified to do so, the mediator may give the parties an
evaluation (which if all parties choose, and the mediator agrees,
may be in writing) of the likely outcome of the case if it were
tried to final judgment, subject to any limitations under the
Plan, the TDP and ethical codes.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY OF MEDIATION
The entire mediation process is confidential. Unless agreed among
all the parties or required to do so by law, the parties and the
mediator shall not disclose to any person who is not associated
with participants in the process, including any judicial officer,
any information regarding the
<Page>
process (including pre-process exchanges and agreements),
contents (including written and oral information), settlement
terms or outcome of the proceeding.
Under this procedure, the entire process is a compromise
negotiation subject to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and all state
counterparts, together with any applicable statute protecting the
confidentiality of mediation. All offers, promises, conduct and
statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the
proceeding by any of the parties, their agents, employees,
experts and attorneys, and by the mediator are confidential.
Such offers, promises, conduct and statements are privileged
under any applicable mediation privilege and are inadmissible and
not discoverable for any purpose, including impeachment, in
litigation between the parties. However, any written or oral
information or other materials submitted to the mediator by
either the PI Trust or the claimant may be submitted by either
party to the arbitrator in an arbitration that takes place under
these ADR procedures.
In addition, evidence that is otherwise admissible or
discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or
non-discoverable solely as a result of its presentation or use
during the mediation. The exchange of any tangible material shall
be without prejudice to any claim that such material is
privileged or protected as work-product within the meaning of
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 and all state and local
counterparts.
The mediator and any documents and information in the mediator's
possession will not be subpoenaed in any such investigation,
action or proceeding, and all parties will oppose any effort to
have the mediator or documents subpoenaed. The mediator will
promptly advise the parties of any attempt to compel him/her to
divulge information received in mediation.
7. SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN OFFERS AFTER MEDIATION
At the conclusion of the mediation, the mediator shall require
the parties to exchange written settlement offers that shall
remain open for ten (10) days. If after the expiration of that
ten (10) day period neither party accepts the other's written
offer or the parties do not otherwise settle the matter, then the
claimant may request binding or non-binding arbitration by
sending to the PI Trust the appropriate signed Election Form and
Agreement for either Binding or Non-binding Arbitration.
IV. RULES GOVERNING NON-BINDING AND BINDING ARBITRATION
<Page>
A. ELECTION BY THE PI TRUST
The PI Trust shall review the Election Form and Agreement for Binding
or Non-binding Arbitration (Attachments D and E) and within five (5)
days of receipt the PI Trust shall sign the Agreement and shall
immediately send a fully signed Arbitration Agreement to the Private
Adjudication Center.
B. SELECTION OF THE ARBITRATOR
1. As soon as reasonably possible after the receipt of the signed
Arbitration Agreement, but no more than fifteen (15) days after
the receipt of the signed arbitration agreement, the Private
Adjudication Center shall select three potential arbitrators from
a rotating list kept by the Private Adjudication Center.
Assignments of arbitrators will be made on a rotating basis
nationally, by the Private Adjudication Center. The Private
Adjudication Center shall promptly notify the arbitrator and the
parties of the potential arbitrators' selection. If a potential
arbitrator is unable or unwilling to serve, then a replacement
selection will be made prior to notifying the PI Trust and the
claimant of the potential arbitrators selected.
2. Within seven (7) days of receipt of the list of potential
arbitrators, the PI Trust may select, and identify to the Private
Adjudication Center, one potential arbitrator to be stricken from
the list. The Private Adjudication Center shall then promptly
notify the claimant of the PI Trust's selection, whereupon,
within seven (7) days of the receipt of such notification, the
claimant may select, and identify to the Private Adjudication
Center, a second potential arbitrator to be stricken from the
list. The Private Adjudication Center shall then notify all
parties which potential arbitrator remains and will conduct the
arbitration. If either the PI Trust or the claimant, or both,
fails to exercise the right to strike an arbitrator from the list
of potential arbitrators, the Private Adjudication Center shall
appoint from those potential arbitrators remaining the arbitrator
next in rotation on the PI Trust's rotating list.
3. Any appointed arbitrator shall disclose to the Private
Adjudication Center any circumstances likely to affect
impartiality, including any bias or any financial or personal
interest in the result of the arbitration or any past or present
relationship with the parties or representatives. Upon receipt of
such information from the arbitrator or another source, the
Private Adjudication Center shall communicate the information to
the parties and, if the administrator deems necessary, to the
arbitrator and others. Upon objection of a party to the continued
service, the Private Adjudication Center shall determine whether
the arbitrator should be disqualified and shall inform the
parties of the decision, which shall be final.
<Page>
C. EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS AND THOSE REVIEWED BY THE EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS
REVIEW PANEL
In the event that the Extraordinary Claims Review Panel has deemed the
claim worthy of extraordinary treatment, the Private Adjudication
Center shall forward to the arbitrator the written decision of the
Extraordinary Claims Review Panel, and the parties may submit a final
request that exceeds the values ascribed to the type of injury in the
TDP. In such circumstances, the arbitrator may issue an award in
accordance with such a final offer/request.
In the event that the Extraordinary Claims Review Panel declined to
give extraordinary treatment to the claim, the arbitrator shall not be
informed of the extraordinary claims review panel's decision, and the
claimant must confine his/her award to the values ascribed to the type
of injury in the TDP because the arbitrator may not award an amount in
excess of the Maximum Value assigned to the appropriate category for
the injury in the TDP. The PI Trust will not engage in non-binding or
binding arbitration, and reserves the unilateral right to withdraw
from a signed non-binding or binding arbitration agreement at any
time, where the claimant's final offer and award demand exceeds the
Maximum Value assigned to the type of injury in the TDP and the
Extraordinary Claims Review Panel has declined to give extraordinary
treatment to the claim.
D. FINAL OFFER OR "BASEBALL STYLE" BINDING ARBITRATION
All binding arbitration shall be conducted in the "final offer" format
also known as "baseball style" arbitration. In the course of
submitting the arbitration materials, as explained in these rules, the
parties shall submit their final offer of settlement which shall also
serve as the party's demand for arbitration award. The arbitrator must
choose from one of these two demands in determining the amount of the
arbitration award.
E. SUBMISSION OF PRE-HEARING STATEMENTS
Within twenty (20) days of the appointment of an arbitrator each party
shall submit to the opposing party and to the arbitrator a written
statement (not to exceed ten (10) double spaced pages) containing that
party's positions and arguments. Each party may then submit a
supplement to its written statement (not to exceed five (5)
double-spaced pages) following the initial pre-hearing conference to
respond to the opposing party's positions and arguments and addressing
issues raised at the initial pre-hearing conference. Supplements must
be sent to the opposing party and to the arbitrator within ten (10)
days after the date of the pre-hearing conference.
The Private Adjudication Center will provide the arbitrator with a
complete schedule of categories of injuries and Scheduled and Maximum
Values therefor in the TDP.
<Page>
F. INITIAL PRE-HEARING CONFERENCE, SCHEDULING HEARING DATE, OPTIONAL
VIDEO CONFERENCE FOR ARBITRATION HEARING
1. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the receipt of both party's
briefs, the Private Adjudication Center shall contact the
claimant, the arbitrator, and the PI Trust to schedule the
initial pre-hearing conference. The pre-hearing conference shall
be presided over by the arbitrator and held by telephone
conference call.
2. During the initial pre-hearing conference, the arbitrator shall
schedule the date and select the location of the arbitration
hearing either at the location of the arbitrator or a location
mutually agreeable by the parties. The arbitration hearing should
be scheduled not less than forty-five (45) days, and not more
than sixty (60) days, from the date of the initial pre-hearing
conference. The Private Adjudication Center will mail a
confirmation notice of this date to the claimant and the PI
Trust.
3. At the election of the claimant, the arbitration hearing may be
conducted by video conference. If the claimant so elects, then
the claimant must state that election in writing prior to the
initial pre-hearing conference. The Private Adjudication Center
will make appropriate arrangements for the PI Trust and the
arbitrator to participate by video conference. The PI Trust shall
pay for its and the arbitrator's cost for use of video conference
equipment and facilities. The claimant shall only be responsible
for his/her costs (including participation by claimant's
counsel).
4. During the initial pre-trial conference, the arbitrator shall
seek to achieve agreement between the parties on:
a. narrowing the issues (through methods including but not
limited to stipulation of facts);
b. whether the claimant will appear at the hearing (at the
claimant's sole discretion);
c. any legal issues;
d. and any other matters that will expedite the arbitration
proceedings.
If appropriate or if the parties do not agree on these issues,
then the arbitrator must issue orders governing the process.
G. NO DISCOVERY WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS
There shall be no discovery except as specifically provided below. The
purpose of the arbitration is to resolve differences between the PI
Trust and the claimant based only on the documents that have been
previously submitted to the PI Trust
<Page>
by the claimant and any other documents relied upon by the PI Trust to
make a settlement offer to the claimant or to disallow the claim.
However, if the PI Trust commissions an independent medical
examination or a third-party medical review upon which the PI Trust
relies in evaluating the claimant's claim, then the claimant may
depose the medical professional conducting the review or examination
after having a reasonable opportunity to study any report or written
opinion generated by the medical professional.
H. NO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS UNLESS REQUESTED BY ARBITRATOR
There will be no record or transcript of the proceedings unless and
except the arbitrator requests a transcript to assist him/her in
reviewing the evidence or otherwise to aid in the decision making
process. In the event an arbitrator requests a transcript prior to the
arbitration, then the PI Trust shall arrange for a court reporter and
shall pay all expenses associated with the preparation of the
transcript. In no event, however, will the transcript be made
available to the parties, nor shall any time required for preparation
of the transcript affect the time for the arbitrator to render a
decision.
I. POSTPONEMENT OF HEARING
The arbitrator for good cause may postpone any hearing upon the
request of a party or upon the arbitrator's own initiative, and shall
also grant such postponement when all of the parties agree.
J. DURATION OF HEARINGS
The arbitrator shall complete the hearing in one day except for good
cause shown. The arbitrator shall set time limits on the respective
presentations, and shall enforce those set limits. The parties shall
request no more than three hours apiece for presentation of their
cases.
K. PROCEDURE AT ARBITRATION HEARING
1. TESTIMONY UNDER OATH OR AFFIRMATION
If the claimant or any other witness testifies, such testimony
shall be under oath or affirmation administered by the
arbitrator.
2. CONDUCT OF HEARING
At the opening of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall
make a written record of the time, place, and date of the
hearing, and the presence of the parties and counsel.
<Page>
3. EVIDENCE
a. RULES OF EVIDENCE: The arbitrator is not required to apply
the rules of evidence used in judicial proceedings,
provided, however that the arbitrator shall apply the
attorney-client privilege and the work product privilege.
The arbitrator shall determine the applicability of any
privilege or immunity and the admissibility, relevance,
materiality and weight of the evidence offered.
b. ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE: The evidence that the arbitrator may
consider shall be limited to the following:
(i) The documents supplied to the PI Trust prior to the
execution of the Affidavit of Completeness;
(ii) Non-binding or binding arbitration election
agreement;
(iii) Testimony of the claimant. The claimant may offer
evidence regarding the nature and extent of
compensable damages, including physical injuries,
and/or the market share of OC and/or Fibreboard
products, if there is a claim of greater than
average market share. The PI Trust may cross-examine
on these issues. At the claimant's option, a
claimant's deposition, including videotaped
testimony, shall be admissible into evidence in lieu
of live testimony.
(iv) Any additional deposition testimony taken by the PI
Trust or the claimant, and provided to both sides,
prior to the initiation of ADR.
(v) Any evidence submitted in mediation.
(vi) Closing arguments of the claimant and the PI Trust.
The arguments shall be limited to the evidence
contained and the issues raised in the documents or
testimony referred to above and shall be limited to
1/2 hour for each party. The arbitrator shall
disregard any effort to introduce further evidence
or issues in argument.
L. ARBITRATION IN THE ABSENCE OF A PARTY OR REPRESENTATIVE
The claimant may choose whether or not to attend the arbitration in
person in his/her sole discretion. The arbitration may proceed in the
absence of any party or representative who, after due notice, chooses
not to be present, fails to be present or falls to obtain a
postponement if he/she desires to be present but cannot. An award
shall not be made against a party solely for the failure to appear.
The
<Page>
arbitrator shall require the party who is present to submit such
evidence as the arbitrator may require for the making of an award.
M. CONCLUSION OF HEARING AND SUBMISSION OF POST-HEARING BRIEFS
When the parties state that they have no further evidence or witnesses
to offer, and after the parties have made their closing arguments, if
any, the arbitrator shall declare the hearing closed. Post-hearing
briefs will be permitted only upon order of the arbitrator and shall
be served upon the arbitrator no later than ten (10) ten days after
the hearing is closed. Such briefs shall be no longer than five (5)
double spaced pages. The time limit within which the arbitrator is
required to make the award shall commence to run upon the closing of
the hearing or the submission of post-hearing briefs, whichever is
later.
N. OPTION TO WAIVE ORAL HEARINGS
The parties may request a waiver of oral hearings. Oral hearings will
only be waived if all parties consent.
O. ARBITRATION DECISION
1. The arbitrator shall issue a decision no later than fifteen (15)
calendar days after the date of the close of the hearing or
submission of post-hearing briefs, whichever is later.
2. The decision shall state the amount of the award, if any, only.
The decision shall not state reasons for the award. An arbitrator
shall not be permitted to award punitive, exemplary, trebled or
other like damages or attorneys' fees, and prejudgment and
post-judgment interest and costs shall not be sought or allowed.
The award shall dispose of all monetary claims presented to the
arbitrator and shall determine fully the only issue to be decided
pursuant to the arbitration agreement: the amount, if any, at
which the claim value should be fixed. To assist the arbitrator,
the Private Adjudication Center will provide the arbitrator with
a schedule setting forth the Disease Levels and the Scheduled,
Average and Maximum Values associated with each category. Unless
the Extraordinary Claims Review Panel has determined that a claim
is entitled to extraordinary treatment during the claims review
process, the arbitrator's award SHALL NOT exceed the Maximum
Value amount for the appropriate Category in the TDP.
P. PAYMENT OF AWARD
Pursuant to the terms of the arbitration agreement, the PI Trust will
promptly send to the claimant the appropriate IRC or DCP Release. The
PI Trust will then pay
<Page>
the claim based upon the binding or, if accepted by both parties, the
non-binding award, in accordance with the TDP in effect at that time.
Q. REJECTION OF NON-BINDING AWARD
1. A party in a non-binding arbitration proceeding that wishes to
reject the award must notify the other party within thirty (30)
days from the date a non-binding award is issued. If no rejection
is received or sent by the PI Trust, then the decision will stand
and the award will be deemed accepted by both parties and the PI
Trust will promptly send to the claimant the appropriate IRC or
DCP Release. The PI Trust will then pay the claim in accordance
with the Claim Resolution Procedures in effect at that time.
2. PROCEDURE FOR REJECTED AWARD
a. REJECTION BY CLAIMANT
If claimant has sent the PI Trust timely notification of
rejection of a non-binding award and wishes to pursue the
claim, then the claimant must notify the PI Trust through
correspondence postmarked no later than sixty (60) days from
the date of the non-binding award. If notification is
received within the sixty (60) day deadline and claimant
wishes to pursue the claim, then the PI Trust will within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of this notification send the
claimant an authorization to commence litigation.
b. REJECTION BY PI TRUST
If the PI Trust rejects the non-binding award, then claimant
may elect binding arbitration or request that the PI Trust
forward the authorization to commence litigation.
V. GENERAL ADR PROCEDURES GOVERNING PRO BONO EVALUATION, MEDIATION,
NON-BINDING ARBITRATION, AND BINDING ARBITRATION
A. ADR SUBMISSIONS
The claimant's submissions (with the exception of the binding
arbitration's written argument) will be reviewed by the ADR
administrator before they are submitted to the pro bono evaluator,
mediator or arbitrator. If they contain materials not previously
submitted in support of the claim, then the PI Trust claims department
will review the additional information and determine the effect, if
any, it would have on the PI Trust's evaluation of the claim. In
appropriate situations, a new offer may be made to the claimant.
<Page>
If an attorney or other agent represents the claimant, both the
attorney AND the claimant must also sign the Election and Agreement
for Binding Arbitration. The attorney or agent may not sign in place
of, or for, the claimant unless the claimant is incapacitated,
incompetent or deceased and the attorney or agent has been designated
legally to act on the claimant's behalf. Documentation of this legal
designation will be required.
B. NO GROUPING OR BUNDLING OF CLAIMS
There shall be no grouping or bundling of claims by separate claimants
at any stage of the ADR or arbitrations even if the claims are related
and/or the claimants have the same counsel. Each claimant must proceed
individually through the ADR and arbitration processes with all claims
that claimant may have or represent. This provision is intended to
separate claims of different exposed persons and has no effect upon
multiple claims brought by a claimant's representative, such as heirs
of a deceased worker. However, the PI Trust, in its sole discretion,
may decide that it would be expeditious to allow the conduct of
arbitration proceeding with respect to more than one claim of
different exposed persons, provided that the arbitrator individually
values each such claim in accordance with the valuation factors set
forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) of the TDP, and the respective claimants'
separate positions in the PI Trust's FIFO Processing and Payment
Queues are maintained.
C. NO EX PARTE COMMUNICATION
There shall be no ex parte communication between the arbitrator or pro
bono evaluator and any counsel or party in any matter. All
correspondence between the arbitrator or pro bono evaluator and the
parties will be facilitated by the Private Adjudication Center.
D. CLAIMS AND DEFENSES
All available claims and defenses which exist under the law subject to
the claimant's election under the TDP shall be available to both
sides.
E. COSTS OF ADR
1. ADR EXPENSES
The PI Trust will pay the arbitrator's fee for non-binding or
binding arbitration up to two thousand dollars ($2000.00) per
claim depending on the length of the hearing. The pro bono
evaluator is a volunteer and thus no fee will be incurred. The PI
Trust will assume costs of meeting and hearing facilities for
arbitration. Claimants will pay their costs and attorney fees,
including any expenses incurred should the claimant testify.
<Page>
2. FILING FEE
No filing fee is required of the claimant for any ADR selection,
unless the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future
Claimants' Representative decide that it would be in the best
interests of the PI Trust and its beneficiaries to adopt such a
fee.
F. WAIVER OF OBJECTION TO RULES INFRACTION
Either party who continues with the pro bono evaluation, mediation,
non-binding arbitration, or binding arbitration proceeding after
knowing that any provision or requirement of the applicable rules has
not been complied with, and who fails to state a timely objection in
writing to the arbitrator, mediator or pro bono evaluator, shall be
deemed to have waived the right to object. A timely objection by a
claimant must be stated in writing and mailed to the PI Trust with
instructions to forward the objection to the Private Adjudication
Center and to the arbitrator, mediator or pro bono evaluator. A timely
objection by the PI Trust will be mailed to the claimant and to the
Private Adjudication Center with instructions to forward to the
arbitrator, mediator or pro bono evaluator.
G. SERVING OF NOTICES AND OTHER PAPERS
Each party to the ADR and arbitration agreements shall be deemed to
have consented that any papers, notices, or processes necessary or
proper for the initiation or continuation of ADR and Arbitration
proceedings under these rules may be served upon such party as
follows:
1. By regular U.S. mail or overnight courier addressed to such party
or their attorneys at their last known address;
2. By facsimile, transmission, if a copy of the transmitted papers
is mailed addressed to the party or their attorney at their last
known address within twenty-four (24) hours of the facsimile
transmission; or,
3. By personal service, within or without the state where the pro
bono evaluation, mediation or arbitration is to be held, whether
the party is within or without the United States of America.
H. TIME LIMITS TRIGGERED UPON RECEIPT
1. Documents sent by U.S. mail under these rules shall be deemed
received three (3) business days after the date of postmark.
Documents sent via overnight mail shall be deemed received on the
next business day after mailing.
2. Documents sent via facsimile transmission shall be deemed
received on the business day that the transmission is received.
<Page>
I. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY
Neither the Private Adjudication Center nor the mediator, nor the
arbitrator nor pro bono evaluator shall be liable to any party for any
act or omission in connection with any evaluation conducted under
these rules.
J. RELATIONSHIP OF RULES TO ELECTION FORM FOR PRO BONO EVALUATION,
REQUEST FOR MEDIATION, NON-BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT OR BINDING
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
These Rules shall be deemed a part of, and incorporated by reference
in, every duly executed ADR agreement or arbitration agreement and
shall be binding on all parties.
K. ARBITRATOR/PRO BONO EVALUATOR IMMUNITY
Arbitrators or pro bono evaluators who serve pursuant to these rules
shall have the same immunity as judges for their official acts.
L. JURISDICTION
Any dispute under these rules shall be subject to the jurisdiction of
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
M. STATEMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY
1. All ADR and arbitration proceedings and information relating to
the proceeding will be confidential. Neither party shall disclose
the information obtained during the proceedings, nor the
valuation placed on the case by an arbitrator or pro bono
evaluator, to anyone or use such information or valuation in any
further proceeding except as necessary to maintain the PI Trust's
obligation to report to the Bankruptcy Court and to provide
ongoing evaluation by the PI Trust and TAC. Except for documents
prepared by a non-party which are introduced as evidence before
an arbitrator or pro bono evaluator, any document prepared by
another party, attorney or other participant in anticipation of
the ADR is privileged and shall not be disclosed to any court or
arbitrator/pro bono evaluator or construed for any purpose as an
admission against interest.
2. All ADR and arbitration proceedings shall be deemed a settlement
conference pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence.
Except by agreement of the parties, the parties will not
introduce into evidence in any other proceedings the fact that
there was an arbitration, the nature or amount of the award, and
written submissions may not be used for purposes of showing
accord and satisfaction or res judicata. In binding arbitration,
the decision of the arbitrator may be admissible in the event
<Page>
the claimant improperly seeks to litigate the claim. The binding
arbitration award shall be admissible in support of a motion to
enjoin such litigation. No arbitrator or pro bono evaluator will
ever be subpoenaed or otherwise required by any party or any
third party, to testify or produce records, notes or work product
in any future proceedings.
N. AMENDMENTS
Except as otherwise ruled by the Bankruptcy Court, these rules, as
they may from time to time be amended by the PI Trustees, will be
binding on all parties in the form in which they are in force on the
date the claimant signs the election agreement.
O. TIME LIMITS
The time limits included in these procedures are to be strictly
enforced. Any time limit set forth herein may be extended by agreement
of the parties or for cause shown to the neutral party presiding over
the particular ADR or arbitration proceeding. Any request for
extension, however, shall first be made to the opposing party and then
if the parties cannot agree, shall be submitted to the Private
Adjudication Center who will request a ruling from the pro bono
evaluator, mediator, or arbitrator as the case may be.
Although the deadlines may be extended by agreement or for cause
shown, failure to comply with a deadline without obtaining an
extension may result in withdrawal of the claim. Promptly after a
claimant fails to comply with a specified deadline without obtaining
an extension, the PI Trust shall send the claimant written notice of
the failure to comply. If the claimant does not take any action on the
claim, then thirty (30) days thereafter the claim will be deemed
withdrawn under Section 7.13 of the TDP.

OC/FIBREBOARD TDP
PRESUMPTIVE MEDICAL/EXPOSURE CRITERIA
Mesothelioma (Level VIII) (1) Diagnosis(1) of mesothelioma; and (2) credible
evidence of OC or Fibreboard Exposure as defined in
Section 5.7(b)(3).
Lung Cancer 1 (Level VII) (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer plus
evidence of an underlying Bilateral
Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease(2), (2) six
months OC and/or Fibreboard Exposure prior to
December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational
Exposure(3) to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical
documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a
contributing factor in causing the lung cancer in
question.
Lung Cancer 2 (Level VI) (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer; (2) OC
and/or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31,
1982, and (3) supporting medical documentation
establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing
factor in causing the lung cancer in question.
Lung Cancer 2 (Level VI) claims are claims that do
not meet the more stringent medical and/or exposure
requirements of Lung Cancer (Level VII) claims. All
claims in this Disease
- ----------
(1) The requirements for a diagnosis of an asbestos-related disease that may be
compensated under the provisions of this TDP are set forth in Section 5.7.
(2) Evidence of "Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease" for purposes
of meeting the criteria for establishing Disease Levels I, II, III, V, and VII,
means a report submitted by a qualified physician stating that the claimant has
or had either (i) a chest X-ray read by a qualified B reader of 1/0 or higher on
the ILO scale or (ii)(x) a chest X-ray read by a qualified B reader, (y) a CT
scan read by a qualified physician, or (z) pathology, in each case showing
either bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques, bilateral
pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification. Solely for claims filed
against OC or Fibreboard or another asbestos defendant in the tort system prior
to the Petition Date, if an ILO reading is not available, either (i) a chest
X-ray or a CT scan read by a qualified physician, or (ii) pathology, in each
case showing bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques,
bilateral pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification consistent with
or compatible with a diagnosis of asbestos-related disease, shall be evidence of
a Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease for purposes of meeting the
presumptive medical requirements of Disease Levels I, II, III, V and VII.
Pathological evidence of asbestosis may be based on the pathological grading
system for asbestosis described in the Special Issue of the Archives of
Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, "Asbestos-associated Diseases," Vol. 106,
No. 11, App. 3 (October 8, 1982).
(3) The term "Significant Occupational Exposure" is defined in Section 5.7(b)
of the TDP.
<Page>
Level will be individually evaluated. The estimated
likely average of the individual evaluation awards
for this category is $20,000 for OC and $12,000 for
Fibreboard, with such awards capped at $50,000 for
OC and $30,000 for Fibreboard, unless the claim
qualifies for Extraordinary Claim treatment (as
defined in Section 5.4(a) of the TDP.
Level VI claims that show no evidence of either an
underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant
Disease or Significant Occupational Exposure may be
individually evaluated, although it is not expected
that such claims will be treated as having any
significant value, especially if the claimant is
also a Smoker.(4) In any event, no presumption of
validity will be available for any claims in this
category.
Other Cancer (Level V) (1) Diagnosis of a primary colo-rectal, laryngeal,
esophageal, pharyngeal, or stomach cancer, plus
evidence of an underlying Bilateral
Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease, (2) six
months OC and/or Fibreboard Exposure prior to
December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational
Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical
documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a
contributing factor in causing the other cancer in
question.
Severe Asbestosis (Level IV) (1) Diagnosis of asbestosis with ILO of 2/1 or
greater, or asbestosis determined by pathological
evidence, plus (a) TLC less than 65%, or (b) FVC
less than 65% and FEV1/FVC ratio greater than 65%,
(2) six months OC and/or Fibreboard Exposure prior
to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational
Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical
documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a
contributing factor in causing the pulmonary
disease in question.
- ----------
(4) There is no distinction between Non-Smokers and Smokers for either Lung
Cancer (Level VII) or Lung Cancer (Level VI), although a claimant who meets the
more stringent requirements of Lung Cancer (Level VII) (evidence of an
underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease plus Significant
Occupational Exposure), and who is also a Non-Smoker, may wish to have his or
her claim individually evaluated by the PI Trust. In such a case, absent
circumstances that would otherwise reduce the value of the claim, it is
anticipated that the liquidated value of the claim might well exceed the
Scheduled Value for Lung Cancer (Level VII). "Non-Smoker" means a claimant who
either (a) never smoked or (b) has not smoked during any portion of the twelve
(12) years immediately prior to the diagnosis of the lung cancer.
<Page>
Asbestosis/
Pleural Disease (Level III) Diagnosis of Bilateral Asbestos-Related
Nonmalignant Disease, plus (a) TLC less than 80%,
or (b) FVC less than 80% and FEV1/FVC ratio greater
than or equal to 65%, and (2) six months OC and/or
Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3)
Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos, and
(4) supporting medical documentation establishing
asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in
causing the pulmonary disease in question.
Asbestosis/
Pleural Disease (Level II) (1) Diagnosis of a Bilateral Asbestos-Related
Nonmalignant Disease, and (2) six months OC and/or
Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, and
(3) five years cumulative occupational exposure to
asbestos.
Other Asbestos Disease
(Level I -Cash Discount
Payment) (1) Diagnosis of a Bilateral Asbestos- Related
Nonmalignant Disease or an asbestos-related
malignancy other than mesothelioma, and (2) OC
and/or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31,
1982.

--------------------------

payment to holders of valid FB Property Damage Claims and to provide a low
transaction cost method of effectuating the resolution of such Claims.
2.2 Interpretation. Nothing in these FB Property Damage Claims

Without limiting the foregoing, these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures
specifically shall not create any substantive right for any claimant to be
afforded now, or in the future, a discounted cash payment election, as
described in Section 4.3(b) herein, in any amount. These FB Property Damage
Claims Procedures are procedural, and they may be amended, deleted, or added
to pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the terms of these FB
Property Damage Claims Procedures.

ARTICLE 3

shall participate and consult with the PD Advisory Committee on all major
policy and administrative decisions affecting, and the interpretation and
implementation of, the FB Property Damage Claims Procedures. Where
consultation is required under the Trust Agreement or these FB Property Damage
Claims Procedures, the Trustee need only seek advice and counsel from the PD
Advisory Committee and are independent and free to accept or reject any
recommendation of the PD Advisory Committee. In addition to any provisions in
the Trust Agreement that may require the consent of the PD Advisory Committee,
the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the PD Advisory Committee regarding
(i) participation or merger with another claim resolution organization or
contracting the operation of the FB Property Damage Trust (as defined herein)
to another claim resolution organization; (ii) material changes other than any
changes related to specific amounts to be paid or percentages to be paid in
these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures in respect of Allowed Asbestos
Property Damage Claims; (iii) the designation of approved laboratories; and
(iv) the approval of a Cost Model for Past and Future Abatement Costs (as
defined herein) under these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures.
ARTICLE 4
Claims Categories
-----------------
4.1 Categories of Asbestos Property Damage Claims. All FB Asbestos
Property Damage Claims shall be divided into two categories:
(a) Category 1 Claims. Category 1 Claims shall include those Claims
for Individual Review which are filed within twelve months of the Effective
Date.
(b) Category 2 Claims. Category 2 Claims shall include those Claims
for Discounted Payable Costs which are filed within twelve months of the
Effective Date.
(c) No Claimant may file a Claim in more than one category.
4.2 Allowed Asbestos Property Damage Claims. For a Category 1 Claim
or a Category 2 Claim to be Allowed, the Claimant must provide Convincing
Evidence of each of the following:
(a) The asbestos containing product for which the Claim is submitted
is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product; and
(b) A legally viable cause of action; and
(c) A Category 1 Claim, only, must also provide Convincing Evidence
of compensable injury and damages.
-4-
4.3 Allowed Amounts.
(a) Category 1 Claims shall be Allowed in the amount of the Allowed
Costs, as adjusted to take into account the historical difficulty of proving
such claims in the tort system and in no event shall the Allowed amount be
greater than 50% of the Allowed Costs.
(b) Category 2 Claims shall be Allowed in the amount of their
Discounted Payable Costs as provided in Exhibit 1.
4.4 Disallowed Asbestos Property Damage Claims. The Property Damage
Facility will disallow any Asbestos Property Damage Claim:
(a) for which the Claimant did not file a timely Proof of Claim
within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules, such
determination shall be made consistent with Section 3.3(c) of the Trust
Agreement requiring the Trustee to enforce the Bankruptcy Court's bar date
orders;
(b) for which the Claimant did not file a Property Damage Claim Form
within twelve months of the Effective Date;
(c) where there has been a prior judicial determination or
stipulation that the asbestos containing product for which the Asbestos
Property Damage Claim was filed is not a Fibreboard asbestos-containing
product;
(d) by any Claimant where there is Convincing Evidence that
Fibreboard would have been able to obtain summary judgment on the ground that
the claim would have been barred as a matter of law or factually time-barred
under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction if considered on the Petition
Date, unless such claim has been revived or reinstated by reason of
legislative enactment in the applicable jurisdiction; provided, however, there
is a presumption that Pre-Existing Claims are not factually time-barred; or
(e) where there has been a prior adjudication by Final Order (as
defined in the Plan) that an Asbestos Property Damage Claim has been
time-barred and may not be brought in any other jurisdiction or otherwise
revived by the holder of such Claim.
4.5 Fibreboard Indirect Asbestos Property Damage Claim. Fibreboard
Indirect Asbestos Property Damage Claims asserted against the FB Property
Damage Trust that fall within the Plan's definition of Fibreboard Indirect
Asbestos Property Damage Claims, and which have not been disallowed,
discharged, or otherwise resolved, shall be processed, allowed or disallowed,
liquidated, paid, and satisfied in accordance with procedures to be developed
and implemented by the Trustee, which procedures (a) shall determine the
validity and allowance of such claims consistent with Section 502(e) of the
Bankruptcy Code, (b) shall require binding arbitration for the resolution of
all disputes and thereby foreclose resort to the tort system for dispute
resolution, and (c) shall otherwise provide the same processing and payment to
the holders of such claims that are allowed as the FB Property Damage Trust
would have afforded the holders of any underlying valid Fibreboard Asbestos
Property Damage Claims under this Section IV.
-5-
ARTICLE 5
Processing and Review of Asbestos Property Damage Claims.
---------------------------------------------------------
5.1 Submission of Asbestos Property Damage Claims. All Asbestos
Property Damage Claims shall be submitted on the Property Damage Claim Form
within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, and shall include all of the
documentation (as set forth in Section VI below) required to substantiate the
Claim.
The Property Damage Facility may establish procedures designed to
reduce administrative costs, which do not prejudice the Claimants' substantive
rights. The Property Damage Facility also may establish guidelines to prevent
abuse of the Property Damage Facility's objective of providing for
cost-effective and reasonable methods of Abatement which do not prejudice the
Claimants' substantive rights and which are not inconsistent with these FB
Property Damage Claims Procedures. The Property Damage Facility may negotiate
and compromise Claims in the best interests of the Category 1 and Category 2
Claims pursuant to these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures.
5.2 Review of Asbestos Property Damage Claims. Upon receipt of a
Property Damage Claim Form, the Property Damage Facility shall review the
Property Damage Claim Form to determine whether the necessary documentation
(as set forth in Section VI) has been submitted. If additional documentation
is required in order to evaluate the Claim, the Property Damage Facility shall
notify the Claimant in writing within 90 days of receipt of such Property
Damage Claim Form by the Facility. Any Claim requiring additional
documentation as to which no such further documentation is provided within 60
days from the date of such notification, or such reasonable extension as may
be granted by the Trustee (but which, in no event, shall exceed an additional
30 days), shall be a Disallowed Claim, provided that the Claimant shall have
the right to request reconsideration and binding dispute resolution pursuant
to the procedures set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 below.
Once all of the necessary documentation pertinent to a Claim is
received, the Property Damage Facility will determine whether the Claim will
be Allowed. The Property Damage Facility shall notify the Claimant in writing
by mail of its determination within 120 days of receipt of all necessary
documentation.
Where Product Identification evidence under Section 6.2(c) is
submitted, the Property Damage Facility shall have the right, upon reasonable
notice to the Claimant, to inspect Claimant's building(s) or structure(s) and
conduct non-invasive or non-destructive tests reasonably necessary for the
evaluation of the Claim. Such inspection and/or testing shall be limited to
visual inspection, photography, bulk sample collection and constituent
analysis by an approved laboratory under these FB Property Damage Claims
Procedures, and other such reasonable tests, and shall be done at times
reasonably convenient to the Claimant and in accordance with all applicable
federal, state and local rules or regulations regarding safe practices and the
Claimant's operations and maintenance program, if any. Unless otherwise
agreed, inspection or testing shall not extend the time for making a
determination with respect to a Claim. For the purposes of this Section, the
requirement that any testing by the Property Damage Facility be non-invasive
or non-destructive shall not preclude securing bulk samples, provided,
however, that the sampling shall be conducted in accordance with
-6-
all applicable federal, state and local rules or regulations regarding safe
practices and the Claimant's operations and maintenance program, if any, and
further that the Property Damage Facility shall repair, including
cosmetically, the material from which the sample is taken.
The Property Damage Facility's official determination of a Claim
shall include the dollar amount of Abatement Costs. If the Property Damage
Facility determines that the claim amount for Abatement Costs of a Claim, as
filed, is greater than the reasonable and customary costs of the allowable
action undertaken under the circumstances, it shall allow only such reasonable
and customary costs. If the dollar amount allowed is less than the total
amount of the Claim filed by the Claimant for any reason, the Property Damage
Facility's notification shall include the reason for its determination, a
response to any contention previously raised by the Claimant in support of its
Claim, copies of all reports of any inspection and/or testing, and a full
disclosure of the Claimant's rights to request reconsideration and binding
dispute resolution. If the Claimant accepts the determination of the Property
Damage Facility as to the amount of such Claimant's Allowed Claim, that
decision will be final and binding on both parties and may not be reopened.
5.3 Reconsideration of Asbestos Property Damage Claim. A Claimant
shall have 60 days from the date of receipt of the Property Damage Facility's
notice of its official determination to file with the Property Damage Facility
a written request for reconsideration of that determination. The Claimant must
state in writing the reason(s) for seeking reconsideration and include any
additional materials not theretofore submitted which the Claimant wishes to be
considered in connection with the reconsideration.
Once the Property Damage Facility has received a request for
reconsideration, it shall review the Asbestos Property Damage Claim, the
supporting documentation, Claimant's reason for seeking reconsideration and
arguments in support thereof, any newly submitted material, the notice of
determination and reasons therefor, and any other relevant material. The
review shall be conducted de novo by a panel consisting of two Property Damage
Facility claims analysts and one otherwise disinterested member of the PD
Advisory Committee. The claims analyst who made the original determination
shall not sit on the reconsideration panel. Neither the Property Damage
Facility nor the panel members may raise or rely on any reasons not stated in
the Notice of Determination as a basis for denying the request for
reconsideration. The panel shall have 90 days from the date of receipt of
Claimant's request for reconsideration to issue a final determination. If no
final determination is issued within said 90-day time period, the Asbestos
Property Damage Claim shall be Allowed as originally submitted.
The reconsideration panel shall issue its final determination in
writing to the Claimant. The Allowed Amount shall include the amount of the
Abatement Costs, if any. If the amount allowed is less that the Claim as filed
by the Claimant for any reason or the Claim is disallowed in whole or in part,
the final determination shall include a detailed, written statement supporting
the panel's finding, including a response to any contention previously raised
by the Claimant in support of its Claim, as well as a full disclosure of
Claimant's right to request binding dispute resolution.
5.4 Binding Dispute Resolution. A final determination upon
reconsideration by the panel which denies either in full or in part a Claim
may be submitted to an arbitrator for binding dispute resolution. A Claimant
shall have 60 days from the date of receipt of the Property Damage Facility's
-7-
final determination upon reconsideration to file with the Property Damage
Facility a written request for binding dispute resolution.
The Property Damage Facility shall maintain a list of a minimum of 15
independent arbitrators who are available to hear disputes between the
Property Damage Facility and Claimants. Once a request for Binding Dispute
Resolution is received by the Property Damage Facility, the Property Damage
Facility shall, within 10 days of receipt of such request, send to the
Claimant the names and addresses of 10 independent arbitrators which shall
have been selected by a random process. Claimant shall have 30 days from the
date the list is received to strike five arbitrators, and to return that
information to the Property Damage Facility.
The Property Damage Facility, once it has received Claimant's
choices, shall select one of the five potential arbitrators not stricken by
the Claimant and then arrange a mutually acceptable date and location for the
binding dispute resolution to take place. The binding dispute resolution shall
be commenced within 90 days of receipt by the Property Damage Facility of
Claimant's choices of arbitrators. Upon confirmation of the date that binding
dispute resolution is to commence, the Property Damage Facility shall notify
the Claimant in writing of the identity of the arbitrator and the date and
location of commencement of the binding dispute resolution. Telephone
arbitrations may be conducted by the Property Damage Facility, where requested
by the Claimant.
The arbitrator shall review the Claim de novo pursuant to the
standards set forth in these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures. In no event
shall the arbitrator's determination be an amount lower than the amount of the
final determination by the Property Damage Facility upon reconsideration,
unless the arbitrator determines that the Claim is a Disallowed Claim. The
Property Damage Facility shall pay the arbitrators' fees, provided, however,
that, in the event a Claimant fails to obtain an award in an amount equal to
or greater than 125% of the Property Damage Facility's final determination of
its Claim, such fees shall be borne by the Claimant.
ARTICLE 6

Asbestos Property Damage Claim shall be Allowed unless the following
documentation is submitted to the Property Damage Facility in support of the
Asbestos Property Damage Claim. All documentation provided by a Claimant must
be sufficient to constitute Convincing Evidence as required by these FB
Property Damage Claims Procedures. The absence of one or more of the
categories of documents set forth below shall not prejudice the allowance of,
or constitute the basis for the disallowance of, a Claim if the Claimant
certifies that, despite reasonable efforts, the required material could not be
located. In such case, alternative documents or testimony that provides
Convincing Evidence of the necessary facts to support the Claim shall be
accepted. Claimants may also use evidence submitted and determinations made by
the claims processing facilities in other asbestos bankruptcies to constitute
Convincing Evidence, as appropriate, of the quantity of asbestos-containing
product in their buildings or structures and/or their costs of Abatement.
6.2 Category 1 Claims. The following documentation must be supplied:
-8-
(a) A completed PD Claim Form, describing the location, type and
quantity of asbestos-containing product and the installation date thereof,
including a certification of the information contained therein; and
(b) Copies of all bulk sample analysis results and/or records thereof
(existing as of the Effective Date) showing that abated material contained
asbestos. The bulk sample analysis technique must be polarized light
microscopy or another generally acceptable method, including those acceptable
to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. A minimum of one sample
from each Homogeneous Area for which Abatement Costs are claimed must have
been analyzed; and
(c) Convincing Evidence that the asbestos-containing product that is
the subject of the Claim is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product, which
the Trustee may confirm by any method and which confirmation shall be at the
expense of the Claimant. Identification of Fibreboard asbestos-containing
product may be established by any of the following, among others:
(i) constituent analysis of representative bulk sample(s)
showing that the asbestos-containing product that is the subject of the
Claim is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product; or
(ii) a sworn affidavit of an individual with personal knowledge
that Fibreboard asbestos-containing product was used in the building or
structure for which the Claim is made, setting forth the individual's
conclusion that Fibreboard is the designer, manufacturer, supplier,
distributer or seller of the asbestos-containing product and the factual
basis for that conclusion; or
(iii) documentation evidencing that Fibreboard
asbestos-containing product was used in the building or structure for
which the Claim is made including, without limitation, sales invoices;
purchase orders; architectural specifications and records; bid documents;
contracts and subcontracts; change orders; material approvals;
maintenance, repair and renovation records; complaints to contractors;
installation records; advertisements; insurance claims; supplier records;
documents from discovery in lawsuits; and Fibreboard records. For this
purpose, a specification without some additional substantiating proof
that Fibreboard asbestos-containing product was used shall not sustain a
Claim; or
(iv) A prior judicial determination or stipulation entered into
by Fibreboard that the asbestos-containing product that is the subject of
the Claim is Fibreboard asbestos-containing product; and
(d) Convincing Evidence supporting a Claim for Abatement Costs
including one or more of the following:
(i) a copy of a report from a Qualified Person or Asbestos
Coordinator describing the type, location, and quantity of
asbestos-containing product, and type and scope of Abatement which was
performed; or
(ii) copies of receipted bills, or vouchers or other proof of
all Abatement Costs; or
-9-
(iii) copies of bid specifications and contracts for all
Abatement work performed by persons other than the Claimant's employees;
or
(iv) copies of all special insurance policies purchased directly
by Claimant to cover risks resulting from Abatement or copies of
receipted bills, vouchers, or other proof of special insurance; or
(v) with respect to costs attributable to Abatement performed by
Claimant's employees, copies of personnel contracts or other proof of the
salary of Claimant's employees and the number of hours spent by them on
Abatement, including a breakdown of those activities. Such proof shall
include a sworn statement by Claimant setting forth the basis for
attributing such employee costs to and/or Abatement and the job
description and qualifications of each such employee; and
(e) Claimants submitting a Claim for Future Abatement Costs must
supply a copy of the report of a Qualified Person or an Asbestos Coordinator
detailing information sufficient for the Trustee to apply the Cost Model based
on the type, location and quantity of Fibreboard or asbestos-containing
product and type and scope of Abatement to be performed.
6.3 Category 2 Claims. The following documentation must be provided:
(a) A completed Property Damage Claim Form, describing the location,
type and quantity of asbestos-containing product and the installation date
thereof, including a certification of the information contained therein; and
(b) Convincing Evidence that the asbestos-containing product that is
the subject of the Claim is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product, which
the Trustee may confirm by any method and which confirmation shall be at the
expense of the Claimant.
ARTICLE 7
Payment of Asbestos Property Damage Claims
------------------------------------------
7.1 Payment Procedures.
(a) To the extent that Claims, as a part of a voluntary procedure,
have not already been liquidated during the these Reorganization Cases, or are
not in the process of being liquidated, the Trustee shall use these procedures
to process all Claims as quickly as practicable after the Effective Date.
Claims shall be processed on a first-in-first-out ("FIFO") order.
(b) As soon as all Claims submitted to the FB Property Damage Trust
according to these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures have been finally
determined to be Allowed Claims or Disallowed Claims, the Trustee, in
consultation with the PD Advisory Committee, shall calculate the total Allowed
Amount of all Allowed Category 1 Claims and the total Allowed Amount of all
Allowed Category 2 Claims.
(c) The FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust is funded with Assets
primarily consisting of rights to insurance recoveries (the "Recoveries")
under liability insurance policies issued to
-10-
Fibreboard for FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims and identified in
Schedule XVI to the Plan. The Trust shall use the Recoveries to pay holders of
Allowed Claims pursuant to these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures.
(d) Upon receiving all of the Recoveries from the Assets, or 5 years
from the Effective Date, whichever occurs first, the Trustee shall determine
the amounts to be paid to holders of Allowed Claims based on the total amount
of Recoveries available at that time ("Available Recoveries").
(i) Allowed Category 1 Claims shall be paid based on the
following calculations: The Trustee shall subtract the total Allowed
Amount of all Allowed Category 2 Claims from the Available Recoveries to
determine the Available Recoveries remaining to compensate holders of
Allowed Category 1 Claims ("Remaining Available Recoveries"). The
Trustee, in consultation with the PD Advisory Committee, shall then
determine the Payment Percentage to be used to pay holders of Allowed
Category 1 Claims based on the Remaining Available Recoveries. Holders of
Allowed Category 1 Claims shall then receive payment calculated on the
basis of the Payment Percentage multiplied by the Allowed Amount of their
Claim.
(ii) Allowed Category 2 Claims shall be paid their Discounted
Payable Costs calculated in accordance with Exhibit 1; except that, if
the Remaining Available Recoveries are insufficient to pay holders of
Allowed Category 1 Claims at least as much as they would have received
had they submitted their Claim as a Category 2 Claim, then all of the
holders of Allowed Claims, regardless of claim category, shall receive
their pro rata share of all Available Recoveries.
(iii) Should additional recoveries ("Additional Recoveries")
from the Assets become available after payment has been made to holders
of Allowed Claims pursuant to Sub-sections 7.1(d)(i) - (ii), as soon as
practicable after they become available, the Additional Recoveries shall
be distributed to holders of Allowed Claims pursuant to Sub-sections
7.1(d)(i)-(ii); provided that holders of Allowed Category 2 Claims shall
not be entitled to receive more than their Discounted Payable Costs, such
that any Additional Recoveries that become available after all holders of
Allowed Category 2 Claims have received their total Allowed Amounts shall
be paid only to holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims based on the Payment
Percentage; provided further that holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims
shall not be entitled to receive more than their Allowed Amount.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision above, if the Claimant has
previously received payment through any other lawsuit or bankruptcy case for
damages that would qualify as Allowed Costs under these procedures for the
same asbestos-containing product for which it is now seeking payment from the
Trust, the amount actually received from the Trust attributable to that
asbestos-containing product shall be adjusted. The payment that would
otherwise have been received from the Trust shall be reduced to the extent
necessary to ensure that the amount received herein, when combined with the
payment received in the prior lawsuit or bankruptcy, will not allow the
Claimant to receive more than 100% of its Allowed Costs for said
asbestos-containing product.
-11-
7.2 Timing of Payments. Payments to holders of Allowed Claims shall
be made as soon as practicable after Available Recoveries or Additional
Recoveries become available.
-12-
1. Except as otherwise may be the case pursuant to sections 2 and 3,
below, Claimants who elect Category 2 treatment for their claims shall receive
Discounted Payable Costs based upon the quantity of asbestos-containing
product identified in the building(s) or structure(s) specified in their
respective Property Damage Claim Forms. Any such Claim must be supported by
the documentation required in Section 6.3 and shall be reviewed and approved
by the Property Damage Facility using the procedures set forth in Section V.
One-hundred percent (100%) of the quantity of asbestos-containing product
approved by the Property Damage Facility shall be used in computing a
Claimant's Allowed Claim where Past Abatement Costs have been incurred for the
relevant asbestos-containing product; sixty-five percent (65%) of the quantity
of approved asbestos-containing product shall be used in computing a
Claimant's Allowed Claim where such Past Abatement Costs have not been
incurred.
2. After determining the aggregate allowed amounts of the quantity of
asbestos-containing product as provided in paragraph 1, hereof, and subject to
the provisions of paragraph 3, below, the Trustee shall Allow each Category 2
Claimant Discounted Payable Costs in the amount of $1.00 times each linear
and/or square foot of asbestos-containing product. If there are not sufficient
funds to pay all Discounted Payable Costs in full, the available funds will be
distributed, pro rata, among the holders of the Category 2 Claims.
3. To further encourage the efficient and consensual resolution of
Claims, a Claimant may propose to the Trustee, within six months of the
Effective Date, that, in lieu of the provisions of paragraph 1, that its
Discounted Payable Cost be determined on the basis of a lump-sum settlement,
based on either evidence of a relevant settlement history, an extrapolation of
the quantity of asbestos-containing product for the type or types of
asbestos-containing product for which it seeks payment, or a combination of
the two methods. The following procedures then shall apply:
(a) The Claimant's proposal must be accompanied by supporting
information, including, at a minimum:
(i) the relevant history of prior settlements in the tort
system (whether or not this is the basis for Claimant's proposal); and
(ii) amounts the Claimant has received in connection with
other asbestos bankruptcies and the basis upon which those payments were made.
The Claimant may, but need not, include a specific amount it proposes for
settlement.
(b) Upon receiving a proposal to settle for a lump-sum, the
Trustee may either accept the initial specific amount proposed by the Claimant
or enter into good-faith negotiations with the Claimant to determine such a
lump-sum settlement amount. The Trustee's initial response to the proposal
must be made to the Claimant within two months after receiving the Claimant's
proposal.
(c) If within two months after the Trustee's initial response
they have not agreed with the Claimant upon a lump-sum settlement, the Trustee
may, but need not, declare an impasse, in which case, the parties may continue
to negotiate until such time as the Trustee declares an impasse. Thereafter,
the Claimant will be given a minimum of an additional four months to file a
Category 2 Claim, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1, above.
(d) In their negotiations with the Claimant, the Trustee shall
take into account all matters they deem relevant including, but not limited
to, prior settlements reached by the Claimant in the tort system; amounts the
Claimant has received in connection with other asbestos bankruptcies and the
basis upon which those payments were made; the amount of Past Abatement Costs
incurred by the Claimant versus the Future Abatement Costs to be incurred by
the priority accorded to Past Abatement Costs herein; the total quantity of
asbestos-containing product present in the Claimant's buildings or structures
as determined by extrapolation or other means as compared with the aggregate
quantity submitted by all other Category 2 Claimants; the limitation of total
payments per square or linear foot of asbestos-containing product set forth in
paragraph 2 above; and the Discounted Payable Costs being sought by the other
Category 2 Claimants.
(e) The Trustee's offer to the Claimant of a lump sum settlement
may be expressed in terms of an allowed amount of Discounted Payable Costs
and/or an actual cash payment the Claimant may expect to receive.
(f) If the Trustee and the Claimant agree upon an Allowed Amount
based upon Discounted Payable Costs, that amount will be included in the
aggregate amount of Discounted Payable Costs described in paragraph 2, above,
and the Claimant will receive its appropriate pro rata share from the funds
available.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Trustee has
the discretion to defer making any settlement offer for an actual cash payment
until he or she has processed and determined the aggregate quantity of
asbestos-containing product used in computing all other Claims submitted by
the Category 2 Claimants.
EXHIBIT F
MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING SUMMARY OF
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The Plan Proponents have negotiated the principal terms and
conditions of certain incentive plans to be made available to employees
generally and to certain management employees in connection with the emergence
of the Reorganized Debtors from reorganization under Chapter 11. These plans
include a broad-based Employee Stock Ownership Program and a Management
Incentive Program. A summary of the terms of these programs is set forth
below. The summaries set forth below are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the terms of the plan documents, which will be filed up to ten
(10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline, and to the terms of any
individual agreements that may be entered into pursuant to those plan
documents.
Employee Stock Ownership Program. All full-time employees and
regular part-time employees of OCD as of the Emergence Date will be eligible
to receive a grant of 100 restricted shares of New OCD Common Stock (the
"Shares") pursuant to OCD's Employee Stock Ownership Program (the "ESOP"),
except that no employee who participates in the Management Plan (as defined
and discussed below) on the Emergence Date shall be eligible to participate in
the ESOP. OCD has reserved 1,750,000 shares of New OCD Common Stock for
issuance under the ESOP (assuming 17,500 eligible employees worldwide). Each
award of 100 shares of New OCD Common Stock under the ESOP will vest in its
entirety on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to
accelerated vesting for OCD-approved retirements or in the event that OCD
terminates the employee's employment without cause. The 1,750,000 shares of
New OCD Common Stock to be issued under the ESOP represent 2.19% of the
primary number of shares of New OCD Common Stock to be outstanding immediately
after the Effective Date (assuming issuance of 80,000,000 shares on the
Effective Date).
Management Incentive Program. Certain executive officers and
members of management (i.e., employees in Band 1-4) will be eligible to
receive awards under OCD's Management Incentive Program (the "Management
Plan"). Awards granted under the Management Plan (each, an "Award") will
consist of restricted shares of New OCD Common Stock (the "Restricted Shares")
and options to purchase shares of New OCD Common Stock (the "Options") and
will be allocated such that 25% of each Award will be in the form of
Restricted Shares and 75% of each Award will be in the form of Options.
Total Shares Reserved For Issuance of Awards Under the Management
Plan. Approximately 1,038,961 shares of Restricted Shares and 3,116,883
Options of New OCD will be reserved for awards to employees of OCD. The
Restricted Shares to be awarded represent 1.30% of the primary number of
shares of New OCD Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after the
Effective Date (assuming issuance of 80,000,000 shares on the Effective Date),
and 1.25% of the fully diluted number of shares of OCD Common Stock, assuming
exercise of the Options. The Options to be awarded
represent 3.75% of the fully diluted number of shares of New OCD Common Stock
(assuming 83,116,883 shares on a fully diluted basis).
Initial Awards. It is expected that Approximately 654,000
Restricted Shares and 1,962,000 Options will be awarded to eligible employees
on the Effective Date. Of the 654,000 Restricted Shares reserved for initial
awards, an aggregate of 206,000 Restricted Shares will be awarded to Messrs.
Brown, Thaman, Johns and Kiemle, an aggregate of 388,000 Restricted Shares
will be awarded to 44 senior officers and an aggregate of 60,000 Restricted
Shares will be awarded to up to 120 key leaders. Of the 1,962,000 Shares of
Options reserved for initial awards, an aggregate of 618,000 Options will be
awarded to Messrs. Brown, Thaman, Johns and Kiemle, an aggregate of 1,164,000
Options will be awarded to 44 senior officers and an aggregate of 180,000
Options will be awarded to up to 120 key leaders. If OCD continues its current
compensation programs and practices (including maintaining the Long-Term
Incentive Plan and the Corporate Incentive Plan) with respect to senior
management, the senior management has agreed not to request any additional
equity awards with respect to fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Restricted Shares. Each Award of Restricted Shares will vest in
its entirety on the third anniversary of the date of grant, with certain
exceptions for retiring employees and OCD-initiated terminations, other than
for "cause" (as defined in an applicable individual restricted stock agreement
or, if there is none applicable, the Management Plan). Restricted Shares will
be held by Reorganized OCD and will be released and delivered to the employee
upon vesting. However, all Restricted Shares, whether or not vested, will be
entitled to receive dividends if declared and paid, and, if declared and paid,
dividends on the Restricted Shares will be paid to the employee at the same
time as dividends are paid to other stockholders of Reorganized OCD.
Stock Options. Each Award of an Option will vest in its entirety
on the third anniversary of the date of grant, with certain exceptions for
retiring employees and terminations initiated by OCD, other than terminations
for "cause" (as defined in an applicable individual option agreement or, if
there is none applicable, the Management Plan). Each Option will have a term
of ten years and will be granted with an exercise price equal to $25 per share
with respect to Options granted on the Effective Date or the fair market value
per share of New OCD Common Stock on the date of grant with respect to Options
granted thereafter. All shares of New OCD Common Stock underlying Options will
be entitled to dividend equivalents regardless of whether such Option is
vested. Dividend equivalents on shares of New OCD Common Stock underlying
unvested Options will be held in trust on behalf of the grantee until the time
of vesting, but any dividend equivalents on shares underlying vested Options
will be payable to the grantee at the same time as dividend equivalents are
paid to other stockholders of Reorganized OCD.
Shares Reserved for Future Issuance. In addition to the shares of
New OCD Common Stock that will be issued or reserved under the Management Plan
in respect of grants made as of the Effective Date, 384,961 shares of New OCD
Common
2
Stock will be reserved for future issuance of Restricted Shares and
1,154,883 Shares will be reserved for future issuance of Options. The issuance
of such additional Restricted Shares or Options, however, will be at the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors of Reorganized OCD and the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, provided that management will have the
right to award up to 75,00 shares of New OCD restricted Common Stock and
225,000 stock options to key employees who did not receive an "initial" award
under the Management Incentive Program.
