<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On September&nbsp;9, 2008, USG Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into the Credit Agreement, dated as of September&nbsp;9,
2008 (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;), among the Company, as parent borrower and loan party representative, the subsidiary
borrowers party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the &#147;Administrative Agent&#148;), and the
lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans (the &#147;Revolving Loans&#148;) in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed the lesser of $170&nbsp;million and a borrowing base determined by reference to the trade
receivables of the Company and the subsidiary borrowers (as more fully described in the Credit Agreement). The maximum
allowable borrowings may be increased at the request of the Company and with the agreement of the lenders, provided
that the increased maximum allowable borrowings may not exceed $245&nbsp;million.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Revolving Loans bear interest at a floating rate based upon the Alternate Base Rate or, at the option of the
Company, the Adjusted LIBO rate (each as described in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable spread based on the
Company&#146;s corporate credit rating. The Company may prepay the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement in its
discretion without premium or penalty. The termination date of the Credit Agreement is September&nbsp;9, 2013.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Credit Agreement also provides for Revolving Loans that, at the request of the Company and in the
Administrative Agent&#146;s discretion, result in borrowings that exceed the maximum allowable borrowings under the Credit
Agreement (&#147;Overadvances&#148;). Overadvances may not exceed $12.5&nbsp;million, may not remain outstanding for more than 30
days and bear interest at a floating rate based upon the Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable spread based on the
Company&#146;s corporate credit rating plus 2.00%.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. The Credit Agreement also contains usual
and customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company&#146;s and certain of its
subsidiaries&#146; ability, in certain circumstances, to (1)&nbsp;incur indebtedness; (2)&nbsp;create liens; (3)&nbsp;merge or consolidate
with certain entities; (4)&nbsp;engage in any business other than business of the type or reasonably related to the type
conducted on the date of the Credit Agreement; (5)&nbsp;sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of assets; (6)&nbsp;make
certain investments, loans or advances; (7)&nbsp;engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (8)&nbsp;enter into certain swap or
similar agreements; (9)&nbsp;make certain dividends, distributions, repurchases and other restricted payments; and (10)
engage in certain affiliate transactions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, which becomes applicable at such times as Excess Availability (as described in the Credit
Agreement) falls below $100&nbsp;million. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including,
but not limited to, the failure to make required payments, material breaches of representations or warranties, the
failure to observe certain covenants or agreements, the failure to pay or default of certain other indebtedness, the
failure to maintain the guarantee pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement described below, certain adverse material
monetary judgments, bankruptcy, insolvency and a change of control. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject
to acceleration upon the occurrence of events of default.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September
9, 2008 (the &#147;Guarantee Agreement&#148;), among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors and the Administrative Agent,
pursuant to which the Company and the subsidiary guarantors guarantee the respective obligations of the Company and the
subsidiary borrowers under the Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as
of September&nbsp;9, 2008 (the &#147;Pledge and Security Agreement&#148;), among the Company (solely as loan party representative),
the subsidiary guarantors and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the subsidiary guarantors (but not the
Company) pledged a security interest in all trade receivables, and proceeds in respect thereof, and all related deposit
accounts to the Administrative Agent as collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1,
10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee
Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such
documents, which are incorporated herein by reference thereto.

ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 9, 2008, USG Corporation (the "Company") entered into the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 9,
2008 (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company, as parent borrower and loan party representative, the subsidiary
borrowers party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and the
lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans (the "Revolving Loans") in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed the lesser of $170 million and a borrowing base determined by reference to the trade
receivables of the Company and the subsidiary borrowers (as more fully described in the Credit Agreement). The maximum
allowable borrowings may be increased at the request of the Company and with the agreement of the lenders, provided
that the increased maximum allowable borrowings may not exceed $245 million.
The Revolving Loans bear interest at a floating rate based upon the Alternate Base Rate or, at the option of the
Company, the Adjusted LIBO rate (each as described in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable spread based on the
Company's corporate credit rating. The Company may prepay the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement in its
discretion without premium or penalty. The termination date of the Credit Agreement is September 9, 2013.
The Credit Agreement also provides for Revolving Loans that, at the request of the Company and in the
Administrative Agent's discretion, result in borrowings that exceed the maximum allowable borrowings under the Credit
Agreement ("Overadvances"). Overadvances may not exceed $12.5 million, may not remain outstanding for more than 30
days and bear interest at a floating rate based upon the Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable spread based on the
Company's corporate credit rating plus 2.00%.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. The Credit Agreement also contains usual
and customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company's and certain of its
subsidiaries' ability, in certain circumstances, to (1) incur indebtedness; (2) create liens; (3) merge or consolidate
with certain entities; (4) engage in any business other than business of the type or reasonably related to the type
conducted on the date of the Credit Agreement; (5) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of assets; (6) make
certain investments, loans or advances; (7) engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (8) enter into certain swap or
similar agreements; (9) make certain dividends, distributions, repurchases and other restricted payments; and (10)
engage in certain affiliate transactions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, which becomes applicable at such times as Excess Availability (as described in the Credit
Agreement) falls below $100 million. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including,
but not limited to, the failure to make required payments, material breaches of representations or warranties, the
failure to observe certain covenants or agreements, the failure to pay or default of certain other indebtedness, the
failure to maintain the guarantee pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement described below, certain adverse material
monetary judgments, bankruptcy, insolvency and a change of control. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject
to acceleration upon the occurrence of events of default.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September
9, 2008 (the "Guarantee Agreement"), among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors and the Administrative Agent,
pursuant to which the Company and the subsidiary guarantors guarantee the respective obligations of the Company and the
subsidiary borrowers under the Credit Agreement.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as
of September 9, 2008 (the "Pledge and Security Agreement"), among the Company (solely as loan party representative),
the subsidiary guarantors and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the subsidiary guarantors (but not the
Company) pledged a security interest in all trade receivables, and proceeds in respect thereof, and all related deposit
accounts to the Administrative Agent as collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1,
10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee
Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such
documents, which are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
