ARTICLE III
COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE AND PROFIT SHARING PAYMENT

the Company shall issue the Conversion Shares to the Trust, by delivering to
the Trust one or more certificates (as requested by the Trust) representing the
Conversion Shares
5
6
duly registered in the name of the Trust, and the Company shall cause the
transfer agent to record the Trust as sole holder of record of the Conversion
Shares on and as of the Closing Date and shall provide the Trust with a
certificate of the transfer agent with respect to such recordation (or other
reasonably available written proof thereof) at the Closing. Prior to the
Closing, the Company shall apply for and take all necessary steps to obtain the
approval (to the extent required) of the listing of the Conversion Shares on
any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded.
SECTION 3.02. Profit Sharing Payment. The Company shall pay
to the Trust an amount equal to 20% of the sum of Profits (or zero if Profits
is a negative number) and Government Proceeds within 30 days following the last
day of the month during which the Closing Date occurs, for the period beginning
on the first day of the Fiscal Year in which the Closing Date occurs and ending
on the day prior to the Closing Date. Such amount shall be determined in good
faith by management of the Company based on the financial results of the
Company and reasonable assumptions and estimates, in each case determined in a
manner consistent with past practice for the determination of Profits for the
Company's Fiscal Years under the Supplemental Agreement. When the Company
makes the payment of Profits pursuant to this Section 3.02, it shall deliver to
the Trust a certificate signed by the chief executive officer, the chief
financial officer or the controller of the Company setting forth in reasonable
detail the computation of such Profits and explaining any material assumptions
or estimates used in such computation. If the Closing Date occurs on a day
other than the first day of a month, Profits for the period from the first day
of such month to the day prior to the Closing Date (the "Profit Period") shall

(i) the number of days in the Profit Period divided by (ii) the number of days
in such month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in the Second Amended and Restated Supplemental Agreement, the
Company shall remain obligated to make the payment required by Section 2.03(a)
of the Supplemental Agreement with respect to any Fiscal Year of the Company
which ends prior to the Fiscal Year in which the Closing Date occurs and for
which such payment has not been made as of the date of this Agreement. The
parties agree that Profits shall be determined by not giving effect to any
Disposition or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any payment of Profits pursuant to this Section 3.02, the
issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3.01, the Dividend or any
accounting or tax effects relating to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 3.03. Use of Proceeds of Disposition.
(a) If the Company, directly or indirectly, sells or
otherwise disposes of all or a substantial portion of its investment in RIC (a
"Disposition"), regardless of the form of such disposition (including, without
limitation, any sale or other disposition by RIC of all or substantially all of
its assets), then within 60 days following receipt by the Company of the
proceeds of such Disposition (the "Proceeds"), the Company shall apply the net
Proceeds after payment of, or reasonable provision for, all out-of-pocket fees,
expenses, taxes and other costs paid or incurred (including reasonable reserves
for out-of-pocket fees, expenses, taxes and costs accrued but not paid at such
time) reasonably related to the effectuation of such Disposition (the "Transfer
Proceeds") as follows: (i) first, to repayment, prepayment or redemption of
the Class 6 Interest Debentures to the extent that the Board, by vote of a
majority of the Non-Trust Directors, determines that such repayment, prepayment
or redemption would be in the best interests of the Company and authorizes and
directs that such repayment, prepayment or redemption be made, (ii) second, to
the extent of the balance of Transfer Proceeds after deduction of the amount
applied in accordance with clause (i), to the repurchase or redemption of
Series B Preference Stock to the extent that the Board, by vote of a majority
of the Non-Trust Directors, determines that such repurchase or redemption would
be in the best interests of the Company and authorizes and directs that such
repurchase or redemption be made, and (iii) third, to the extent of the balance
of Transfer Proceeds after deduction of the amount applied in accordance with
clauses (i) and (ii), subject to the fourth sentence of Section 3.03(b) and the
second sentence of Section 3.03(c), to the payment of the Dividend in the full
amount of such remaining balance. The Company shall be deemed to have applied
Transfer Proceeds in accordance with (x) clause (i) or clause (ii) of this
Section 3.03(a) in the event that the Company shall have within 60 days of a
Disposition issued an irrevocable notice of redemption with respect to the
Class 6 Interest Debentures or the Series B Preference Stock and shall have
paid the redemption price therefor within 60 days of such notice relating to
the Class 6 Interest Debentures or within 90 days of such notice relating to
the Series B Preference Stock, and (y) clause (i) of this Section 3.03(a), in
the event that there is no June 30 or December 31 (a "Permitted Date") that is
at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, following the receipt by the
Company of the Proceeds, if the Board of Directors shall have authorized and
directed within 60 days following a Disposition that such redemption be
effected on the Permitted Date next following the thirty-first day following
the receipt by the Company of the Proceeds and the Company shall have paid the
redemption price therefor on such Permitted Date. In the event that the
Company should fail to apply Transfer Proceeds in accordance with clause (i) or
clause (ii) of this Section 3.03(a), any amount of Trans-
7
8
fer Proceeds reserved or deducted for such purpose from the amount of the
Dividend shall promptly be declared and paid as a further dividend on, or other
payment with respect to, the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
subject to the fourth sentence of Section 3.03(b) and the second sentence of
Section 3.03(c). The Company shall not, without the express prior written
consent of the Trust, effect any Disposition pursuant to which the Company
receives any consideration other than cash payable in full upon consummation
thereof.
(b) The Company shall, subject to the fourth
sentence of this Section 3.03(b), declare the Dividend within 46 days following
the Company's receipt of the Proceeds (the date of such declaration being
referred to herein as the "Declaration Date"). On the Declaration Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Trust written notice of the declaration of the
Dividend and shall make a public announcement in accordance with applicable
law, regulations and the rules of any securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed or traded, stating that the Dividend has been declared and
announcing the Record Date and the payment date with respect to the Dividend.
The record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the Dividend
(the "Record Date") shall be not less than five days following receipt by the
Trust of written notice of the declaration but in no event more than 10 days
following the Declaration Date (or such greater minimum number of days
following the Declaration Date as may then be required pursuant to applicable
laws and regulations and the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common
Stock is listed or traded). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company's obligation to declare the Dividend shall be subject to
the satisfaction, or the waiver by the Company, of each of the following
conditions precedent at the time of the declaration of the Dividend:
(i) the Company shall have received with
respect to the Dividend all necessary licenses, permits,
consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders
of Governmental Agencies (if any) becoming necessary after the
date hereof, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company;

reasonably adequate capital under applicable law and if
requested by the Board, shall have received an opinion from
American Appraisal Associates, pursuant to the
8
9
engagement letter dated August 16, 1995 and executed by the
Company on August 22, 1995, which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Board.
(iv) no suit, action or other proceeding by
any Governmental Agency shall be pending before any tribunal
of competent authority which challenges the validity or
legality of the Dividend that has a reasonable likelihood of
success as determined by Independent counsel selected by the
Company and the Trust;
(v) there shall not be any effective
injunction, writ, preliminary restraining order or any order
of any nature issued by a court of competent jurisdiction
directing that the payment of the Dividend not be made or
imposing any conditions on the payment unless the consequences
to the Company of failing to comply with such injunction,
writ, preliminary restraining order or other order or for
being subject to such conditions would not subject the Company
to substantial cost or liability and would not subject any
employee, officer, director or agent of the Company to any
civil or criminal liability (for purposes hereof,
"substantial" shall mean actual or probable cost, liability or
penalty (including any prepayment penalties) in excess of
$250,000 or any obligations to prepay principal in excess of
$20,000,000);
(vi) the Order shall be in full force and
effect;
(vii) the Trust Agreement Amendment shall
have been executed and delivered, and shall be in full force
and effect; and
(viii) all conditions to the Closing set
forth in Sections 4.02 and 4.03 (other than Section
4.03(e)(ii)) shall have been satisfied, or shall have been
waived by the party entitled to waive such conditions;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not have the
power to waive the condition precedent set forth in this
paragraph (viii) without the express prior written consent of
the Trust.
(c) The Company shall, following the occurrence of
the Declaration Date and subject to the immediately following sentence, pay the
Dividend within 4 business days after the Record Date and no later than 60 days
following the receipt by the Company of the Proceeds. Notwithstanding Section
3.03(a) or the first sentence of this Section 3.03(c), the Company's obligation
hereunder to pay the Dividend shall be subject to the satis-
9
10
faction, or the waiver by the Company, of the condition precedent set forth in
Section 3.03(b)(v) at the time of payment of the Dividend; it being understood
that the foregoing shall not affect any rights (other than under this
Agreement) that the Trust may have in its capacity as a stockholder of Manville
with respect to the Dividend.
(d) At least 5 days prior to any date on which the
Company expects the Board to vote on the declaration of the Dividend, the
Company shall deliver to the Trust a certificate signed by the chief executive
officer, chief financial officer or controller of the Company setting forth in
reasonable detail the computation of (x) the amount of Transfer Proceeds, (y)
the amount applied (or, if intended to be so applied after the date of such
certificate, expected to be applied) in accordance with Sections 3.03(a)(i) and
(ii) and (z) the remainder of (x) minus (y), certifying that, to the best of
such person's knowledge, the computations are true and accurate in all material
respects and made in accordance with Section 3.03(a).
(e) The Trust hereby consents to the application of
Transfer Proceeds as provided in Sections 3.03(a)(i) and (ii) (subject to
approval of the Board, by vote of a majority of the Non-Trust Directors, as set
forth in Section 3.03(a)) and will evidence such consent in such appropriate
instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

the Trust shall vote all of its shares of Common Stock in favor of such

with respect to any Disposition or other transaction relating to RIC or the
Company's investment in RIC.
(b) The Trust will not voluntarily take any action
that would reasonably be expected to cause a termination of the Trust other

respects with the Company to obtain as soon as reasonably possible the

writing signed by each party hereto. Any waiver or consent granted in respect

consent only of the specific provision(s) and for the specific purpose(s) set
forth therein.

SECTION 6.06. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may
be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original,
with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument. This Agreement together with its exhibits constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties hereto relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings,
oral and written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 6.07. Severability. Should any provision in this
Agreement be determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such determination shall in no way limit or affect the validity or
enforceability and operative effect of any of the provisions of this Agreement
in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.08. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and neither constitute a portion of this
Agreement nor in any manner affect the construction of the provisions of this

connection with this Agreement, including without limitation all brokers' fees,
investment banking fees and legal fees, shall be paid by the party incurring
such cost or expense. Nothing contained in this Section 6.11 shall be
construed as creating an obligation of the Company or the Trust to indemnify
any Person.
SECTION 6.12. Specific Performance. Each of the Company and
the Trust agrees that the other party would be irreparably damaged if for any
reason the Company or the Trust, as the case may be, failed to perform its
obligations under this Agreement and that such other party would not have an
adequate
18
19
remedy at law for money damages in such event. Accordingly, the Company and
the Trust each agrees that the other party shall, to the maximum extent
permitted, be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other relief
to enforce the performance of this Agreement. This provision is without
prejudice to any other rights that the Company or the Trust may have against
the other party for any failure of such other party to perform its obligations
hereunder.
SECTION 6.13. Third Parties. This Agreement constitutes an
agreement solely between the parties hereto, and is not intended to and shall
not confer any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities, legal or
equitable, on any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective
successors or assigns, or otherwise constitute any Person a third-party
beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.14. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws

such jurisdiction. The Company and the Trust hereby submit to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company
and the Trust irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(a) [Reserved]
(b) The Company shall pay to the Trust for each Fiscal
Year from and including the Fiscal Year in which this Agreement enters into

(including, except as limited by Paragraph (c) below, fees and expenses of

against the Trust, as contemplated by and in accordance with the Plan and the
Trust Agreement.
(b) The Company shall indemnify the Trust in respect of all
costs, expenses, losses and damages (including, except as limited by Paragraph

(a) Sales Other than by Tender Offer. Prior to any sale by
the Trust (other than pursuant to a Tender Offer or pursuant to an underwritten
public offering) of any shares of Manville Common Stock to a Person or "group"
(as defined in Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act) which, to the knowledge of
the Trust, owns, or will own as a result of such purchase, of record or
beneficially, more than 15% of the shares of Manville Common Stock then
outstanding, the Trust shall give the Company (or its designee(s)) the
opportunity to purchase such shares in the following manner:
(i) The Trust shall give written notice (the
"Offering Notice") to the Company of such proposed sale, specifying
the number of shares proposed to be sold, the price per share, the
identity of the purchaser and the form of the transaction.
3
27
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
(ii) The Company shall have the right, exercisable
by written notice (the "Offering Exercise Notice") to the Trust given
within 30 Business Days after the date the Offering Notice is given,
to purchase (or to cause its designee(s) to purchase) all, but not
less than all, of the shares specified in such Offering Notice for
cash at the price set forth therein.
(iii) The price per share to be paid by the Company
(or its designee(s)) (the "Purchase Price") in a purchase pursuant to
an Offering Exercise Notice shall be the third party buyer's price, or
shall be determined in the manner the third party buyer's price was to
be determined.
(iv) Upon delivery of the Offering Exercise Notice
(and notwithstanding any designation by the Company of a third person
as purchaser), the Company shall be legally obligated to consummate
the purchase contemplated thereby, and shall be liable in damages to
the Trust if the purchase is not consummated for any reason other than
the fault of the Trust. The closing of the purchase of the shares of
Manville Common Stock pursuant to an Offering Exercise Notice shall
take place on a date designated by the Company, which date shall not
be later than seven Business Days after the date the Offering Exercise
Notice is given. At such closing, an aggregate amount equal to the
Purchase Price times the number of shares proposed to be sold shall be
paid by the Company to the Trust and the certificate or certificates
representing such shares, accompanied by stock powers duly executed in
blank or duly executed instruments of transfer and any other documents
that are necessary to transfer good and marketable title to such
shares, shall be delivered by the Trust to the Company (or its
designee(s)).
(v) If the Company does not timely give the Offering
Exercise Notice hereunder, the shares as to which the Offering Notice
was given may be sold in the transaction described in such Offering
Notice within 30 days after the expiration of the Company's right to
give the Offering Exercise Notice.
(b) Tender Offers. The Trust may tender shares of Manville
Common Stock into any Tender Offer provided that the Trust shall not tender
shares of Manville Common Stock prior to the date by which the Company is
required to take a position with
4
28
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
respect to the Tender Offer pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act (or
any successor provision), and provided, further, that prior to any tender of
shares by the Trust pursuant to any Tender Offer which the Company has opposed
in a Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Commission and in which, to the knowledge of
the Trust, the offeror, together with any "group" (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)
under the Exchange Act) of which such offeror is a member, owns, or would own
if the offeror purchased the maximum number of shares sought pursuant to the
Tender Offer, of record or beneficially, more than 15% of the shares of
Manville Common Stock then outstanding, the Trust shall give the Company (or
its designee(s)) the opportunity to purchase such shares in the following
manner:
(i) Prior to tendering any shares of Manville Common
Stock pursuant to any such Tender Offer, the Trust shall give written
notice (the "Tender Notice") to the Company of its intention to
tender, specifying the number of shares proposed to be tendered (the
"Tendered Shares"). A Tender Notice shall be deemed to relate to any
Tender Offer outstanding at the time such Tender Notice is given,
provided that a Tender Notice shall not be deemed to relate to a
Tender Offer outstanding at the time the Tender Notice is given if (x)
the Tender Notice was given less than five Business Days prior to the
then scheduled expiration of such Tender Offer and (y) such scheduled
expiration was not subsequently changed to a time more than five
Business Days after the time when the Tender Notice was given. A
Tender Notice shall also be deemed to relate to any Tender Offer not
outstanding at the time such Tender Notice is given if such Tender
Offer is outstanding at any time prior to the Cutoff Time (as
hereinafter defined) of any other Tender Offer to which the Tender
Notice relates. The "Cutoff Time" for any Tender Offer shall mean the
earlier of (x) two Business Days prior to the earliest expiration of
such Tender Offer (the term "expiration" as used herein shall not be
deemed to include termination by the offeror prior to the scheduled
expiration) and (y) two Business Days prior to the end of any
proration period relating to such Tender Offer (provided that this
Clause (y) shall only apply if the Tender Notice was given at least
five Business Days prior to the end of such proration period). If,
after giving a Tender Notice, the Trust determines not to tender into
any Tender Offer to which the Tender Notice relates (which the Trust
may do at any time prior to receipt of a Tender Exer-
5
29
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
cise Notice, as hereinafter contemplated), the Trust shall promptly
advise the Company thereof by giving written notice rescinding such
Tender Notice.
(ii) The Company shall have the right, exercisable
by written notice to the Trust (the "Tender Exercise Notice") actually
received by the Trust prior to the earliest Cutoff Time of any Tender
Offer to which the Tender Notice relates (the "Tender Exercise
Deadline"), to purchase (or to cause its designee(s) to purchase) all,
but not less than all, of the Tendered Shares specified in such Tender
Notice, for cash, at the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined with
respect to this Section 3.03(b)). No extension of the expiration date
or proration period under any Tender Offer, which extension occurs
subsequent to the Tender Exercise Deadline, shall be deemed to
reinstate or extend beyond the Tender Exercise Deadline the Company's
right to give a valid Tender Exercise Notice under this Section
3.03(b). The "Purchase Price" as used in this Section 3.03(b) shall
mean the highest price per share of Manville Common Stock paid or
payable (or if no price was paid or payable, the highest price per
share offered) at any time by any offeror pursuant to any Tender Offer
to which the Tender Notice relates.
(iii) Upon delivery of the Tender Exercise Notice
(and notwithstanding any designation by the Company of a third party
as purchaser), the Company shall be legally obligated to consummate
the purchase contemplated thereby and shall be liable in damages to
the Trust if for any reason the purchase is not consummated. An
aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price times the number of
Tendered Shares shall be paid by the Company to the Trust not more
than ten Business Days after the earlier of the date on which (x) all
Tender Offers to which the Tender Notice relates have expired or been
terminated without any shares of Manville Common Stock being purchased
thereunder and (y) shares of Manville Common Stock are first purchased
by any offeror pursuant to a Tender Offer to which the Tender Notice
relates. The certificate or certificates representing the Tendered
Shares, accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank or duly
executed instruments of transfer and any other documents that are
necessary to transfer good and marketable title to such Tendered
Shares, shall promptly be delivered by the Trust to the Company (or
its de-
6
30
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
signee(s)) upon the Trust's receipt of such payment. If any Tender
Offer to which the Tender Notice relates remains outstanding at the
date such payment is to be made by the Company to the Trust, the
amount of such payment shall be calculated as though each such
outstanding Tender Offer would expire without any increase in the
price being offered thereunder. If at any time shares of Manville
Common Stock are purchased by any offeror pursuant to any Tender Offer
to which the Tender Notice relates at a price per share which exceeds
the per share amount previously paid by the Company to the Trust with
respect to Tendered Shares, the Company shall pay to the Trust within
three Business Days after such higher price is paid or becomes payable
an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of Tendered
Shares times such excess.
(iv) If the Company does not give a Tender Exercise
Notice prior to the Tender Exercise Deadline, the Tendered Shares may
be sold to any offeror pursuant to any Tender Offer to which the
Tender Notice relates, provided that if such Tendered Shares are not
tendered pursuant to any such Tender Offer, the Company shall again
have a right of first refusal under the terms of this Section 3.03(b)
with respect to any shares of Manville Common Stock subsequently
proposed to be tendered by the Trust pursuant to any other Tender
Offer.
(c) Purchase Price. For purposes of this Section 3.03, if
the consideration paid or offered by any third party consists of all cash, the
price paid or offered for purposes of determining the Purchase Price shall be
the amount of the cash paid or offered. If the consideration paid or offered
by any third party consists in whole or in part of property (including debt
instruments) other than cash, the price paid or offered for purposes of
determining the Purchase Price shall be the amount of cash paid or offered, if
any, plus the value of the property other than cash. If the Trust has a choice
between cash and property other than cash, the price paid or offered for
purposes of determining the Purchase Price shall be the higher of the cash or
the value of such property. The value of any property other than cash will be
determined as promptly as practicable by agreement between a nationally
recognized investment banker selected by the Company and a nationally
recognized investment banker selected by the Trust (or if such investment
bankers have not agreed upon a value for such property within three Business
7
31
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
Days after appointment, by a third nationally recognized investment banker
selected by the investment bankers for the Trust and the Company, or if such
investment bankers cannot agree on a third investment banker, by an investment
banker selected by the President of the Securities Industry Association). If
either the Trust or the Company fails to appoint an investment banker within
two Business Days after the other's request, the investment banker appointed by
the other shall make the determinations contemplated by this Section 3.03(c) in
its sole professional judgment. The value of any securities shall be the fair
market value of such securities determined on a fully distributed basis, and
the value of any property other than cash that does not consist of securities
shall be the fair market value of such property. In the event a determination
of the value of property other than cash under this Section 3.03(c), is
required, the payment provided for in Section 3.03(a) or (b) shall initially be
made with respect to any cash that had been offered to the Trust and any
property to the extent to which its value has been agreed upon. Any additional
payment due to the Trust on account of property other than cash for which a
value determination is required hereunder shall be made immediately following,
and in accordance with, such value determination.
3.04. Registration Rights.
(a) Shelf Registration. Whenever, from time to time, the
Trust shall so request in writing and to the extent permitted by law, the
Company shall use its best efforts to register all shares of Manville Common
Stock held by the Trust (or a portion of such shares, if so requested by the
Trust) under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or an equivalent or successor
provision) (a "Shelf Registration") and shall keep such registration in effect
at all times that the Trust holds any shares of Manville Common Stock or until
the Trust notifies the Company in writing that the registration no longer need
remain effective. If either the Trust or the Company deems it necessary to
obtain a determination from the appropriate regulatory authorities that a Shelf
Registration is permitted by law, the Company shall use its best efforts, in
cooperation with the Trust, to obtain such a determination.
(b) Registration Upon Request. If at any time a Shelf
Registration is not in effect with respect to all shares of Manville Common
Stock issued directly to the Trust by Manville and held at such time by the
Trust, and the Trust shall request
8
32
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
in writing that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of
any shares of Manville Common Stock held by it (which request shall specify the
aggregate number of shares intended to be offered and sold by the Trust, shall
describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale thereof and shall
contain an undertaking by the Trust to cooperate with the Company in order to
permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and to obtain acceleration of the
effective date of the registration statement), the Company shall, as
expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to effect the registration of
the shares which the Trust has requested it to register on an appropriate form
under the Securities Act and to keep such registration in effect for a period
of nine months or for such lesser period as shall be required to complete the
distribution of all the shares covered thereby. The registration rights
contemplated by this Section 3.04(b) may be exercised from time to time in the
discretion of the Trust with respect to all or any part of the shares of
Manville Common Stock that the Trust is permitted under this Agreement to sell
at any such time, provided that the Company shall have no obligation to file a
registration statement in any January or earlier than two months after the date
on which any other registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) or
(b) of this Agreement ceases to be in effect.
(c) Registration Procedures. At any time that the Company is
obligated to use its best efforts to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of any shares of Manville Common Stock held by the Trust
pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) or (b), the Company shall, as expeditiously as
possible:

shares and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement
to become effective;

Trust and its counsel (and to any Person designated by the Trust or
such counsel) copies of all documents proposed to be filed with the

of the Trust and such counsel, and, if requested by such counsel, to
the insertion of material that, in the judgment of such counsel,
should be
9
33
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
included (subject, however, to the reasonable approval of counsel to
the Company);
(iii) take such action (including filing with the
Commission amendments and supplements to the registration statement
and the prospectus used in connection therewith) as may be necessary
to keep such registration statement effective for the period of time
required under Section 3.04(a) or (b);
(iv) furnish to the Trust and each underwriter of
the shares being sold such number of copies of (w) such registration
statement (including all exhibits thereto), (x) each amendment and
supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), (y)
the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus) and (z) such other documents, as the Trust and
each such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the distribution of such shares;
(v) promptly deliver to the Trust, each managing
underwriter of the shares, and their respective counsel copies of all
correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or
auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission
with respect to any such registration statement;
(vi) furnish, at the request of the Trust, on each
date that such shares are delivered to underwriters for sale pursuant
to such registration statement or, if such shares are not being sold
through underwriters, on each date the registration statement with
respect to such shares becomes effective (or, if the shares are
registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration, on the date such Shelf
Registration becomes effective and on each date a post-effective
amendment of such Shelf Registration becomes effective) (x) an
opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any,
and to the Trust, substantially to the effect that (A) the
registration statement, related prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereto (including documents incorporated by reference
therein), complied, when declared effective with respect to
registration statements and otherwise when filed, as to form in all
material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the
10
34
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (except that such counsel
need express no opinion as to the financial statements and other
financial data contained therein), (B) such counsel believes that the
registration statement (and any amendment thereto or document
incorporated by reference therein), at the time such registration
statement became effective (or in the case of an amendment or document
incorporated by reference, at the time it was filed), did not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading and that the prospectus as amended or
supplemented, if applicable (including documents incorporated by
reference therein), on the date of such opinion, does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that
such counsel need express no belief as to the financial statements and
other financial data contained in the registration statement or the
prospectus), (C) all of the shares of Manville Common Stock then
outstanding have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully
paid and nonassessable, and (D) such other legal matters with respect
to the registration statement and the Company as the underwriters, if
any, or the Trust may reasonably request and (y) a letter, dated such
date, from the Independent certified public accountants of the
Company, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Trust,
stating that they are "independent" certified public accountants
within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the financial
statements and other financial data of the Company included in the
registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto (including, in each case, documents incorporated by
reference therein), comply as to form in all material respects with
the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act; such
letter from the accountants shall additionally cover such other
financial matters (including information as to the period ending not
more than five Business Days prior to the date of such letter) with
respect to the registration statement that is of the type ordinarily
included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters as the
underwriters, if any, or the Trust may reasonably request;
11
35
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
(vii) use its best efforts to register or qualify
the shares covered by such registration statement under the securities
or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
Trust shall reasonably request, considering the nature and size of the
offering, and do any and all other acts and things which may be
necessary or desirable to enable the Trust and any underwriter of such
shares to consummate the public sale or other disposition in each such
jurisdiction of such shares, provided that in connection therewith the
Company shall not be required to file a general consent to service of
process in any jurisdiction or to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then qualified;
(viii) notify the Trust and any underwriter of such
shares, at any time when a prospectus relating to such shares is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly
prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading;
(ix) enter into such customary agreements (including
an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other
customary actions as the Trust or the underwriters of such shares
reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
of the shares;
(x) make available, upon reasonable notice and
during business hours, for inspection by the Trust, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration
statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
Trust or any such underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records") as shall be
reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
responsibility, and cause the Company and its officers,
12
36
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such Inspector, in connection with such registration statement;
provided that none of such Records shall be photocopied by the
Inspectors and any such inspection shall be conducted in a manner that
does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of
the Company. Records which the Company determines, in good faith, to
be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors in writing are
confidential shall not be disclosed to the Inspectors and only may be
reviewed by counsel for the Trust and for any underwriter;
(xi) notify the Trust of any stop order issued or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission and take
all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop
order or to remove it if entered;

all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission; and
(xiii) if the Trust has requested registration of
shares pursuant to Section 3.04(b), notify the PD Trust that the Trust
has requested a registration of shares of Manville Common Stock
pursuant to this Agreement and give the PD Trust an opportunity to
participate in such registration.
The Company may request that the Trust furnish to the Company
information regarding the Trust and the disposition of the Trust's shares, and
the Trust agrees to furnish such information to the Company and any other
information as the Company may reasonably request.
The Trust agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of any event of the kind described in Paragraph (viii) of this Section
3.04(c), the Trust will forthwith discontinue distribution of shares of
Manville Common Stock pursuant to the registration statement covering such
shares until the Trust's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by such Paragraph. If the Company shall give any such
notice, the period stated in Section 3.04(b) during which the Company must keep
a registration statement in effect, if applicable, shall be extended by the
number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of
such notice
13
37
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
pursuant to Paragraph (viii) of this Section 3.04(c) to and including the date
when the Trust shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Paragraph (viii) of this Section 3.04(c).
If any such registration statement refers to the Trust by name
or otherwise as the holder of any shares of Manville Common Stock, then the
Trust shall have the right to require the insertion therein of language, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trust and the Company, to the effect
that the holding by the Trust of such shares is not to be construed as a
recommendation by the Trust or any of the Trustees of the investment quality of
the shares covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that the Trust
will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company.
(d) Registration Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all
costs and expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section
3.04 (whether or not any such registration shall become effective), including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of
compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky
qualifications of the shares), printing and duplicating expenses, messenger and
delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all
independent certified public accountants (including the expenses of any annual
audit, special audit or "cold comfort" letters required by or incident to such
performance), securities acts liability insurance (if the Company elects to
obtain such insurance), the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts
retained for the Company in connection with such registration and fees and
expenses of other Persons retained by the Company; provided that costs and
expenses to be paid by the Company shall not include fees and expenses of
counsel retained by the Trust and other out-of-pocket expenses of the Trust
(and any persons retained by the Trust to act as Inspectors) incurred in
connection with any registration and any underwriting discounts or commissions
attributable to the sale of the Trust's shares of Manville Common Stock.
(e) Indemnification.
(i) In each case of a registration of shares of
Manville Common Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Section 3.04, the Company will indemnify and hold harm-
14
38
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
less the Trust, each Trustee, each officer of the Trust, each
underwriter for the Trust (as defined in the Securities Act) and each
other Person, if any, who controls the Trust or any such underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including
the fees and expenses of counsel in connection with any governmental
or regulatory investigation or proceeding), caused by an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any registration statement under which such shares of Manville Common
Stock were registered under the Securities Act and/or under the
securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions in the United States,
any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein or any
amendment or supplement thereto (including, in each case, documents
incorporated by reference therein), or caused by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except that the Company shall not be liable to indemnify a
party seeking indemnification insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating
to the party seeking indemnification and furnished to the Company in
writing by such party expressly for use therein; provided that the
foregoing indemnification with respect to a preliminary prospectus as
then amended or supplemented shall not inure to the benefit of any
underwriter (or to the benefit of any Person controlling such
underwriter) from whom the Person asserting any such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities purchased shares of Manville Common Stock if a
copy of the final prospectus as then amended or supplemented had not
been sent or given to such Person at or prior to written confirmation
of the sale of such shares to such Person and the untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus
was corrected in the final prospectus as then amended or supplemented.
(ii) In each case of a registration of shares of
Manville Common Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Section 3.04, the Trust will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors, its officers who sign the registration statement and
each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the
15
39
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to the Trust, but only with reference to information relating
to the Trust and furnished to the Company in writing by the Trust
expressly for use in the registration statement, any prospectus or
preliminary prospectus contained therein or any amendment or
supplement thereto. The Trust will use best efforts to cause any
underwriters of shares of Manville Common Stock to be sold by the
Trust to indemnify the Company on the same terms as the Trust agrees
to indemnify the Company, but only with reference to information
relating to such underwriters.
(iii) In case any proceeding (including any
governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person
in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section
3.04, such Person (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the
Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "Indemnifying
Party") in writing and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the
Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others
the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay
the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.
In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (x) the
Indemnifying Party has agreed to the retention of such counsel at its
expense or (y) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party
shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm qualified in such jurisdiction to act as
counsel for all such Indemnified Parties, except that, if the Company
is the Indemnifying Party, it shall be responsible for up to two such
firms, one for the Trust (and all of its affiliated Indemnified
Parties) and one for all of the underwriters as a group (and all of
their affiliated Indemnified Parties). Such firm shall be approved as
satisfactory in writing by the Trust in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Paragraph (i) of
16
40
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
Section 3.04(e) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of Section 3.04(e). The Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final, nonappealable judgment for the plaintiff, the
Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment.
(iv) The indemnification of any underwriter pursuant
to Paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 3.04(e) shall be on such other
terms and conditions as are at the time customary and reasonably
required by underwriters in public offerings, including providing for
contribution in the event indemnification provided in this Section
3.04 is unavailable or insufficient.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

accepted accounting principles and included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements for such quarterly fiscal period, shall not be deducted in

relating to such assets, in determining Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net
Worth.
4.03. Computation Dispute Resolution. The Company's
computations of Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth made pursuant to
Section 4.02(t) shall be deemed to be accepted by the Trust and shall be
conclusive for the purposes of this Agreement and the Second Bond unless the
Trust, within 20 Business Days after the date on which the computation in
question was delivered to the Trust and the work sheets and other documents
prepared in connection therewith made available for inspection by or delivered
to the Trust, shall have delivered a written notice to the Company stating each
and every item to which it takes exception as not being computed in accordance
herewith or as having computation errors, specifying in detail the nature and
extent of any such exception. In the event that the Trust gives written notice
within such period of any such exception to a computation made pursuant to
Section 4.02(t), then the Company and the Trust, or the Company's accountants
and the Trust's accountants, respectively, shall attempt to resolve all
differences on a mutually acceptable basis. To the extent that such
differences are not so resolved within ten Business Days after the delivery of
the written exceptions to the disputed computation, the questions giving rise
to such differences shall be submitted as soon as practicable (and, in any
event, not later than 20 Business Days thereafter) to any nationally recognized
firm of Independent certified public accountants acceptable to both the Company
and the Trust (the "Accountants") for final determination. The Company and the
Trust each shall pay one-half of any fees charged by the Accountants in
connection with any such determination. Any agreement by the Company and the
Trust or by the Company's accountants and the Trust's accountants, or any
determination by the Accountants as to the proper resolution of any item shall
be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Trust for the purposes

indirectly, from acts or omissions prior to the Confirmation Date of one or
more of the Debtors or the Canadian Companies including, without limitation,

death, survivorship, proximate, consequential, general and special damages) and
punitive damages and (b) all warranty, guarantee, indemnification or
contribution liabilities or obligations of any of the Debtors or Canadian
Companies to any other Person to the extent that such warranties, guarantees,
indemnifications or contribution responsibilities cover claims against such

With respect to Claims for compensatory damages only, the substantive

Resolution Facility shall be the law which would have been applicable but for
the pendency of the Cases. In determining the applicable law, it will be
assumed that the action against the Claims Resolution Facility was (1) filed or
commenced (if not actually filed or commenced against any of the Debtors) at
the same time as an action by the Beneficiary asserting a claim that would have
been an AH Claim if asserted against any of the Debtors was filed against any
other Person and (2) tried or settled at the same time as the Beneficiary's
action was tried or settled (if actually tried or settled) with substantially
all defendants thereto, so that the law applicable will be the same as the law
applicable to the action against such other defendants. If the claim is
against any of the Debtors (or the Claims Resolution Facility) alone, it will
be assumed that the action against the Claims Resolution Facility was filed or
commenced (if not actually filed or commenced against any of the Debtors) at
the earliest time when the cause of action accrued and would have been reached
for trial when a similar action in the same venue on the same calendar would
have been reached for trial. All claims actually filed or commenced against
any of the Debtors shall be deemed to have been filed or commenced on such
actual date of filing or commencement. Notwithstanding and supplementing the
foregoing, the Beneficiary shall have the benefit of any revival statute
enacted in any jurisdiction where venue is proper which has the effect of
removing or tolling the bar or extending the period of the statute of
limitations, irrespective of whether the statute is deemed substantive or
procedural.
