    <TD>On March&nbsp;9, 2009, the Compensation and Organization Committee of the
Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors approved the 2009 Annual Management Incentive
Program, or Program, for the Registrants&#146; named and other executive officers. Under
the Program, 40% of the par incentive award for each of the Registrant&#146;s executive
officers is based on a formula related to adjusted consolidated net earnings, 40% is
based on specified focus targets and 20% is based on other specified targets. No
awards will be earned under the Program unless the Registrant&#146;s 2009 earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined for purposes of the
Program), or EBITDA, at least equals the amount of awards under the Program. Awards
under the Program may not exceed twice the amount of the par incentive award. The
Program includes a &#147;clawback&#148; provision allowing the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors
to recoup an award inappropriately paid to an executive officer if the executive
officer&#146;s fraud or intentional misconduct was a substantial contributing factor to
the Registrant having to restate its financial statements.</TD>

(e)
On March 9, 2009, the Compensation and Organization Committee of the
Registrant's Board of Directors approved the 2009 Annual Management Incentive
Program, or Program, for the Registrants' named and other executive officers. Under
the Program, 40% of the par incentive award for each of the Registrant's executive
officers is based on a formula related to adjusted consolidated net earnings, 40% is
based on specified focus targets and 20% is based on other specified targets. No
awards will be earned under the Program unless the Registrant's 2009 earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined for purposes of the
Program), or EBITDA, at least equals the amount of awards under the Program. Awards
under the Program may not exceed twice the amount of the par incentive award. The
Program includes a "clawback" provision allowing the Registrant's Board of Directors
to recoup an award inappropriately paid to an executive officer if the executive
officer's fraud or intentional misconduct was a substantial contributing factor to
the Registrant having to restate its financial statements.
The Registrant's Board of Directors approved the following operating
focus targets for the Registrant's named executive officers under the Program:
wallboard spread; L&W Supply Corporation adjusted operating profit; USG Building
Systems business units gross profit and working capital. The Compensation and
Organization Committee approved the following other targets for the named
executive officers under the 20% portion of the Program: wallboard cost, EBITDA
and liquidity. Each named executive officer is assigned two of these other
targets.
