Cooperative Agreement - Kimberly-Clark Corp. and United Paperworker's International Union


                              COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION, NEENAH, WISCONSIN, HEREINAFTER
REFERRED TO AS THE CORPORATION, AND THE UNITED PAPERWORKER'S INTERNATIONAL
UNION, AFL-CIO-CLC, AND LOCAL 482, HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE UNION.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTINUES TO GUIDE OUR WORK SYSTEM AND GOVERN THE RELATIONSHIPS
AND DEALINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNLESS BOTH AGREE TO CHANGE IT.

SECTION ONE: OUR OPERATING PHILOSOPHY

All employees, the union and the company, at Kimberly-Clark's
Lakeview/Badger-Globe facilities, have shared a proud history, made possible by
our hard work, determination and commitment to the success of our products in
the marketplace. It is a heritage not only to be proud of, but to carry forward
and build on. However, our industry and its competitive environment are changing
and this demands that we alter the traditional relationships between people and
their work. This Philosophy Statement will guide us to create new and more
productive relationships as we face the challenges of today and tomorrow. It
will help us build on our strengths, and focus on setting the directions and
taking the required actions that will result in the continuous improvement
necessary to ensure our future as envisioned by the founding fathers at this,
the birthplace of Kimberly-Clark Corporation. It will make Lakeview/Badger-Globe
an effective and rewarding place to work.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVE

Our business objective is to manufacture and distribute products which satisfy
the needs and expectations of our customers as they perceive them and to do this
better than any other company or Kimberly-Clark location. Our customers
include those who buy and use our products, the corporation's stockholders and
employees, the business sectors we serve, and society. Ultimately, customer
satisfaction determines our success. Only satisfied customers provide job
security.

VALUES

Our business objective can only be obtained by mutually establishing a work
place based on the following values:

Safety

Both parties to this agreement support the concept that safety is a joint
responsibility and each individual is ultimately responsible for his/her own
safety. Local 482 and Lakeview/Badger-Globe are pledged to cooperate fully to
support the letter and spirit of the following: "We are equally committed to
safety in the workplace. Working safely should be our number one priority at all
times at Kimberly-Clark. In fact, nothing is more important than safety. There
is no production goal, there is no cost or time-saving measure and there is no
competitive advantage that is ever worth an injury of any kind. In other words,
our goal is an accident-free workplace. This goal is difficult, but can be
accomplished by providing continuing employee education on safe operating
practices and by ensuring that our work environment meets or exceeds all
governmental requirements for health and safety" (taken from Kimberly-Clark's
Code of Conduct dated May 1994).

People

People in our operations are trustworthy, deserving of respect, and committed to
the success of the business. They take pride in work well done and want to
perform to the best of their abilities. People are most effective when they have
influence on all issues affecting them. We recognize the need for our people to
have a rewarding lifestyle at work, at home, and in the community at large.

The most productive relationships are based on mutual respect, openness, and
cooperation in which differences in status are minimized, people are recognized
for their ideas and their achievements, there are no limits placed on the
contributions they make, and teams of individuals work together effectively with
minimal direction.

Work Design

The most effective work designs are those which create and encourage teamwork by
making certain that individuals and


<PAGE>


                                                                           --3--


teams have the necessary information, competency, self-sufficiency, freedom and
responsibility to make decisions and take action to achieve common goals. People
perform at their fullest potential when they are a part of creating their vision
and direction, when they know their role, and when their work is challenging,
meaningful, flexible, and when their tasks are focused on specific business
objectives.

Conflict

In order to reach the best possible decisions, where all points of view are
considered, an atmosphere in which questioning and openly discussing differences
is encouraged and valued. Opposing views, handled in a problem-solving manner,
result in better, more balanced solutions by ensuring that a full spectrum of
ideas has been considered and developed.

Teams/individuals are expected to resolve conflict. Informal one-on-one
discussions are recommended as the first step. If unsuccessful, one of the
following procedures will be used: Co-worker Issue Resolution, Issue-Resolution
- Section Six, or Local 482 Trial and Appeals Process.

Learning and Skill Development

Learning and skill development are critical because we understand that change is
continual. People have both the right and the accountability to learn and
practice the skills needed to perform tasks safely and proficiently. The needed
learning opportunities to promote long-term development and continued growth for
our people and the company will be provided.

Communications

Successful communication is the cornerstone of a strong organization. The most
productive communication is continuous, timely, open, direct, and occurs where
actions are consistent with communications. People need accurate and prompt
feedback on both operating and personal levels to be effective members of the
organization. People make good decisions when provided with the necessary
training and information to know and understand their jobs. To promote


<PAGE>


--4--


commitment, ownership, and understanding of the business, vital information will
be shared. Everyone's contribution counts.

Continuous Improvement

The application of this operating philosophy is a process which will evolve as
changes occur and as learning and experience are gained. This requires a climate
in which problems are identified and resolved early, and setbacks are viewed as
valuable learning experiences. This process should promote creative initiative,
innovation, and the generation of new ideas essential for business success.

The union and the company are committed to an ongoing dialogue to ensure
continuous improvement in everything we do.

SECTION TWO: PRINCIPLES OF TEAM ORGANIZATION

A.   Lakeview/Badger-Globe is organized into business units to encourage a focus
     on teamwork, innovation, and process improvement around a complete process,
     product, or business.

B.   Business unit structure will not limit or restrict individual or group
     contributions to the unit.

C.   Business units are designed around team(s) which possess the following
     characteristics:

     1.   Team has complete task: input transformation or production output so
          that a product or service is produced.

     2.   The work is designed so that team members cooperate in order to
          complete tasks, make a unique contribution to results, and work in
          proximity such that team identity is maintained and observable.

     3.   Team members will have the necessary knowledge and skills to complete
          a whole task.

     4.   Teams will be self-sufficient, with as few support tasks as possible
          outside of operating teams.

<PAGE>


                                                                           --5--


     5.   Team members and hourly leaders will have responsibility and authority
          to determine who does what by when for daily activities, and will
          participate in decision making and goal setting for the teams and
          business unit. Team members are expected to take direction from
          designated leadership.

     6.   Everyone on a team must possess some minimum number of skills and
          demonstrate the flexibility to utilize those skills on a regular
          basis, focusing on the process/business unit rather than a job or
          task.

     7.   The training process is continuous and includes a team-building
          curriculum.

     8.   The compensation system is designed to encourage and reward the
          development and utilization of multiple skills.

     9.   Teams will give and receive accurate and timely information about
          results, operating standards, and new developments.

D.   In order to effectively manage our business we need productive daily team
     meetings. The format and content will vary to meet the specific needs of
     individual business units and teams.

E.   Operating schedules will be designed to meet business needs and employee
     preferences to the extent possible.

F.   Teams are expected to develop new, innovative approaches to problem solving
     and decision making.

SECTION THREE: SENIORITY AND SERVICE

A.   Seniority

     1.   Definition: Seniority refers to the rank order of bargaining unit
          employees relative to other bargaining unit employees. Rank order is
          determined by the time spent with the Lakeview/Badger-Globe Mill,
          Business Unit, and Team. Mill seniority is retroactive to the
          employee's start date on the hourly payroll.



<PAGE>


--6--


     The following definition of team seniority will be applied across the
     facility:

     Team seniority will refer to the rank order of an entire business unit team
     (all shifts) in a particular function, i.e., Diaper Plant business unit has
     an operations team, stores team, and quality team. Badger-Globe business
     unit has a manufacturing team, converting team, and utility team.

     Shift crews will be rank ordered according to team seniority. Employees who
     change shift crews within a team will carry their team seniority with them.

     Employees who join the team from another team within the business unit or
     from another business unit will be assigned to the last position on the
     team seniority list. (Exception: All maintenance tradespersons within
     Lakeview/Badger-Globe are considered one team. Maintenance employees
     transferring from one business unit to another carry their maintenance team
     seniority with them.)

2.   Principles: The corporation has the responsibility to determine who and how
     many persons it will employ. New hires will have a ninety (90) calendar day
     probationary period. Probationary, temporary, and summer employees do not
     accrue seniority during their probationary, temporary, and summer
     employment. Mill seniority prevails if business unit and team seniority are
     equal.

3.   An employee absent due to illness or off-duty accident who returns to work
     within one (1) year shall be returned without loss of seniority. In unusual
     cases, by specific agreements of the parties, an employee's seniority can
     be protected beyond the one (1) year without loss of seniority. An employee
     absent due to an on-duty accident shall be returned to work without loss of
     seniority, regardless of the length of the absence. This time off shall be
     included in computing service time and seniority as if it were time worked.

     Employees temporarily transferred outside of the bargaining unit shall have
     their seniority protected for a


<PAGE>


                                                                           --7--

     period established by agreement between the union president and management.

B.   Service

     Service is defined as the actual time spent employed by Kimberly-Clark
     Corporation. Service is considered broken by discharge or resignation. For
     purposes of computing vacation privileges and other benefits for which
     continuous employment is a factor, service is not broken by absences due to
     off with permission, authorized leave, certified leave of absence, illness,
     military service, or layoff. However, the actual time spent on certified
     leave of absence (as defined in Section 12) or a layoff in excess of 30
     days will be excluded in computing length of service.

     The period of absence during any layoff shall be excluded in computing
     pension service in accordance with the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Hourly
     Employees' Standard Retirement Plan.

SECTION FOUR: TRANSFER PROCEDURE

When permanent vacancies exist, the following procedure will be used:

A.   The vacancy will first be filled from within the business unit based on
     business unit seniority and providing the employee can successfully perform
     the necessary minimum skill blocks.

B.   If the vacancy is not filled from within the business unit, the vacancy
     will be announced (via posting) to all LV/BG facilities including the
     Lakeview Feminine Care Plant. Informational meetings will be held to
     discuss specifics of the position(s). A minimum of two informational
     meetings will be held, the second meeting being held at least 48 hours
     prior to the end of the posting period. The posting period will be for 10
     calendar days. Employees who wish to transfer must call the facility
     contact by the designated date/time specified on the posting, and place
     their name on the posting list. When an employee places their name on the
     posting list, they have accepted the vacancy if they are one of the senior
     qualified employees. Employees will


<PAGE>


--8--


     not be able to remove their name from the list. Employees can place their
     names on as many posting lists as they wish. Notification will be sent to
     each business unit regarding who responded to the posting and the employees
     who filled the vacancy. Positions not included within the current transfer
     procedure will be handled through jointly developed posting procedures
     (e.g. trades apprentice). Employees must have six months of mill seniority
     before being eligible for signing on the transfer procedure. Employees will
     be selected on the basis of their mill seniority, past performance, the
     ability to perform the necessary minimum skill blocks for that business
     unit, and in the case of the Lakeview Feminine Care Plant, the ability to
     meet selection criteria.

C.   Involuntarily transferred employees displaced from their business unit due
     to reductions will be given priority placement on the business unit
     transfer list from which they were displaced. Involuntarily transferred
     employees will be displaced by business unit seniority. These employees
     will select from available vacancies by mill seniority. Employees
     involuntarily displaced from more than one business unit will have one
     priority placement choice. These displaced employees will accumulate
     seniority in the new business unit on the effective date of the first
     transferred employee. When permanent vacancies exist, these employees will
     be given one opportunity to return; if they decline they will lose their
     priority position.

D.   Employees with long-term, substantiated medical limitations will be given
     priority consideration for selection and placement.

E.   Vacancies created by a mill layoff will be filled by this transfer
     procedure.

F.   Physical transfers should be made within six weeks unless unusual
     circumstances arise; then a consensus action plan will be developed between
     union and management representatives. Team/business unit seniority begins
     on the effective date of the first transferred employee. An employee who is
     unable to perform the duties within the new business unit because of
     substantiated medical limitations may return to the former business unit
     with no loss of seniority within a period of thirty days of the transfer
     date.


<PAGE>


                                                                           --9--


G.   The intent of the company is to staff new Lakeview/Badger-Globe
     operations, where possible, with current bargaining unit employees. The
     selection process for staffing new or expanded Lakeview/Badger-Globe
     operations will be discussed in advance.

     Where no permanent vacancies exist, the following procedure will be used:

     Excess employees will be loaned out to other business units by business
     unit seniority. Loaned employees will select from available business units
     by mill seniority. Loaned employees will maintain their pay rate and will
     not accrue seniority in the new business unit.

SECTION FIVE: MILL LAYOFF AND RECALL

A.   Mill Layoff and Recall -- Lakeview/Badger-Globe

     1.   When a reduction in the workforce is required and no alternative to a
          layoff is found, employees will leave Lakeview/Badger-Globe in reverse
          order of their mill seniority. Employees with maintenance skills
          needed to maintain the business may be retained outside of mill
          seniority order. Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees are not eligible to
          displace Lakeview Feminine Care Plant employees. Alternatives to
          consider would include voluntary layoff by mutual agreement.

     2.   Vacancies created by junior employees being laid off will be filled by
          utilizing the transfer procedure applied to Lakeview/Badger-Globe
          employees.

     3.   Employees will have recall rights of two years (probationary, summer
          and temporary employees do not have recall rights).

     4.   Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees in layoff status will have first
          opportunity to openings in Lakeview/Badger-Globe before going to
          Lakeview Feminine Care Plant employees on the transfer list or hiring.
          Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees will be recalled in the order of
          their mill seniority (Exception: Employees with maintenance skills
          needed to maintain the business may be recalled outside of mill
          seniority order).


<PAGE>


--10--


     5.   Prior to hiring, Lakeview Feminine Care Plant employees in layoff
          status will have priority consideration to openings in other business
          units, in accordance with the transfer procedure.

     6.   Employees will return to work with no rights to their former business
          unit.

     7.   Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees' recall rights will be fulfilled when
          they have been given the opportunity to return to
          Lakeview/Badger-Globe. Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees may turn down
          Feminine Care Plant openings without losing their recall rights.

     8.   The employee will be notified of an opportunity for recall by
          registered mail sent to the last address furnished to the mill. The
          employee will be given seventy-two (72) hours after receipt of the
          recall notice to notify the mill of the employee's intent to return to
          work and two (2) weeks to actually report for work, unless the period
          is extended by the business unit. Failure to comply with either of the
          above will result in the loss of the employee's recall rights.

B.   Mill Layoff And Recall -- Lakeview Feminine Care Plant

     1.   When a reduction in the workforce is required and no alternative to a
          layoff is found, employees will leave Lakeview Feminine Care Plant in
          reverse order of their mill seniority. Employees with maintenance
          skills needed to maintain the business may be retained outside of mill
          seniority order. Feminine Care employees are not eligible to displace
          Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees. Alternatives to consider would
          include voluntary layoff by mutual agreement.

     2.   Vacancies created by junior employees being laid off will be filled by
          utilizing the transfer procedure applied to Lakeview Feminine Care
          Plant employees.

     3.   Employees will have recall rights of two years (probationary summer
          and temporary employees do not have recall rights).


<PAGE>


                                                                          --11--


     4.   Lakeview Feminine Care Plant employees in layoff status will have
          first opportunity to openings in the Lakeview Feminine Care Plant
          before going to Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees on the transfer list
          or hiring. Lakeview Feminine Care Plant employees will be recalled in
          the order of their mill seniority. (Exception: Employees with
          maintenance skills needed to maintain the business may be recalled
          outside of mill seniority order.)

     5.   Prior to hiring, Lakeview/Badger-Globe employees in layoff status will
          have priority consideration to openings in the Lakeview Feminine Care
          Plant, in accordance with the transfer procedure.

     6.   Employees will return to work with no rights to their former business
          unit.

     7.   Lakeview Feminine Care Plant employees' recall rights will be
          fulfilled when they have been given the opportunity to return to the
          Lakeview Feminine Care Plant. Lakeview Feminine Care Plant employees
          may turn down Lakeview/Badger-Globe openings without losing their
          recall rights.

     8.   The employee will be notified of an opportunity for recall by
          registered mail sent to the last address furnished to the mill. The
          employee will be given seventy-two (72) hours after receipt of the
          recall notice to notify the mill of the employee's intent to return to
          work and two (2) weeks to actually report for work, unless the period
          is extended by the business unit. Failure to comply with either of the
          above will result in the loss of the employee's recall rights.

SECTION SIX: ISSUE RESOLUTION

A.   The Company and the Union have established the following principles:

     1.   Informal handling of grievances and other conflicts within the
          framework of our agreements.

     2.   Expeditious investigation and disposition of such grievances or
          conflicts.


<PAGE>


--12--


In the event a conflict occurs, the parties concerned will use the following
procedure (Exception: Disciplinary action involving discharge will be referred
directly to Step 3.):

Step 1: FACT-FINDING REVIEW AND RESOLUTION

The involved parties will meet to discuss the issue, ascertain all facts, and
make a genuine attempt to resolve it. This may necessitate more than one meeting
using whatever resources are available. The individual(s) involved should be
present at these meetings. A facilitator should be utilized on an as-needed
basis to aid in mutually resolving the issue. The facilitator, by mutual
agreement, can be any hourly or salaried person possessing the necessary skills.

Resolutions that arrive out of conflicts involving this or other
union-management agreements will be covered with the appropriate
union-management representatives.

Step 2: INFORMAL RESOLUTION

If the conflict has not been resolved in Step 1, the business unit leader and
the union area vice-president will meet with the parties involved in Step 1 and
be apprised of all pertinent facts.

A mutually agreed-upon facilitator may be utilized in all discussions to aid in
resolution.

Normally, it is expected that Step 1 and Step 2, if needed, would be completed
within one week.

Any resolution resulting from the informal discussion portion of this procedure
need not be precedent setting.

Step 3: FORMAL RESOLUTION

Issues that were not resolved in Steps 1 or 2 may be submitted to the business
unit leader (in writing) within five (5) working days (excluding Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays).


<PAGE>


                                                                          --13--


Procedure:

     The mill/plant manager or representative, a representative of the
     international union, and the local bargaining committee shall discuss the
     issue. These parties may be assisted by such mill personnel as appropriate.
     The agreed-upon facilitator, if utilized in Step 2 of the informal
     discussion, may also be utilized in the formal discussions. If the parties
     are unable to agree upon a satisfactory settlement within ten (10) working
     days (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays excluded) from the date of referral,
     the grievance may be submitted to the impartial arbitrator as outlined
     below.

     When circumstances warrant, the time limits specified may be extended by
     agreement between the parties.

SECTION SEVEN: ARBITRATION

A.   Either party desiring to arbitrate a grievance which has not been settled
     satisfactorily according to the provisions of Issue Resolution, shall
     notify the other party in writing within twenty (20) days (Saturdays,
     Sundays, and holidays excluded) of the completion of step three of the
     Issue Resolution procedure, unless extended by agreement between the
     parties.

B.   The Union and Corporation shall endeavor to select the impartial arbitrator
     by mutual agreement within ten (10) days after request for arbitration has
     been received. For such purpose, each party shall submit to the other party
     a list containing the names of at least three (3) persons considered
     qualified to serve in such capacity.

C.   If the parties are unable to reach mutual agreement in the selection of the
     impartial arbitrator, the parties shall then jointly request the Federal
     Mediation and Conciliation Service to submit a panel of five (5) qualified
     arbitrators from which the impartial arbitrator may be selected. In the
     first arbitration case which arises between the parties, the Union shall
     first strike two (2) names and the Corporation shall then strike two (2)
     names, and the one (1) name remaining shall be selected as the impartial
     arbitrator. In subsequent arbitrating cases which arise,


<PAGE>


--14--


     the right of initially rejecting any two (2) of the five (5) names
     submitted shall alternate between the parties.

D.   It is understood that the function of the arbitrator shall be to interpret
     and apply this Agreement and any supplements to the Agreement. The
     arbitrator has no power to extend the duration, add terms or provisions,
     arbitrate a dispute concerning a general wage adjustment, nor to enlarge
     his own jurisdiction except upon mutual consent of the Corporation and the
     Union.

E.   The decisions of the arbitrator concerning any matter properly arising out
     of this Agreement shall (if not contrary to state or federal law) be final
     and conclusive upon the employees, the Union, and the Corporation.

F.   Each party shall bear the expense of preparing and presenting its own case,
     including witnesses and attending employees, before the arbitrator. The
     fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties
     to this Agreement.

SECTION EIGHT: HOURS OF WORK

A.   Definitions

     1.   A shift worker is an employee whose schedule involves rotation.

     2.   A day worker is an employee whose schedule does not rotate and whose
          regularly scheduled hours every week fall between 5:30 a.m. and 7:30
          p.m.

     3.   A night worker is an employee whose schedule is such that more than
          one-half of the regularly scheduled hours each week fall between 6:00
          p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

     4.   A mutual agreement is an arrangement approved in advance by the crew
          in which qualified employees agree to change hours or shifts within
          the same week and where no other additional premiums are caused.


<PAGE>


                                                                          --15--


B.   Daily, Weekly Schedules

     The basic work week for five-day workers is Monday through Friday, for
     seven-day workers it is Monday through Sunday. The basic daily schedule
     will be 8 1/2 hours per day and will include a daily team meeting and
     thirty (30) minutes of unpaid relief period, with no fixed or designated
     lunch time.

     Unusual production schedules will be discussed with the appropriate
     management and union representatives.

     Employees should not be expected to work more than 12 1/2 hours in any
     24-hour period. Crews will agree on how to provide coverage. For pay
     purposes, the work day (24-hour period) and the work week will begin with
     the regular starting time for the crews.

     The necessary facilitating services to support Saturday, Sunday, and
     holiday operations will be provided.

C.   Relief Periods

     Employees who are on 8 1/2 hour schedules will receive fifteen (15) minutes
     of paid relief time and thirty (30) minutes of unpaid relief period, with
     no fixed or designated lunch time.

     Employees scheduled to work beyond their regular workday will be provided a
     fifteen (15) minute paid relief for every four (4) additional hours
     scheduled.

     Employees who are eligible to receive inconvenience pay or who are held
     over or called in/second round trip on Sunday or their day-of-rest will be
     provided with a paid relief period.

D.   Business Meetings

     1.   Voluntary

          Voluntary meetings outside of employee's regular work schedule will be
          paid at time and one-half rates. The call time, second round trip, and
          pay for work on scheduled days off provisions of this agreement are
          not


<PAGE>


--16--


          applicable to these meetings. These hours will be offset against FLSA
          overtime. Employees who voluntarily change their work schedule to
          attend a meeting will be paid at straight time rate unless weekly or
          daily overtime applies.

     2.   Required

          From time to time, business meetings, including training, may require
          the attendance of the full crew. Employees who attend these required
          meetings will be paid at time and one-half rates for the actual hours
          spent in the meeting if it is scheduled outside of the employee's
          regular working hours or on the employee's scheduled day of rest. The
          call time, second round trip, and pay for work on scheduled days off
          provisions of this agreement will apply to meetings which require
          attendance of the full crew. These meeting hours will not be offset
          against FLSA overtime for seven-day shift workers.

          Employees will be required to attend meetings called by the team or
          business unit except when they are off work due to vacation, illness,
          leave of absence, accident, union business, or when they are excused
          by the crew. Meetings in which the attendance of the full business
          unit is required will be scheduled no more than once a quarter.

E.   Collective Bargaining Meetings

     Employees attending meetings with the company to negotiate a renewal,
     amendment, or modification of this cooperative agreement, or a general wage
     level change, will be paid a daily allowance of eight (8) hours per day at
     the employee's straight-time rate. Shift workers may elect to be off work
     the day before or the last day of the bargaining session and will receive
     the daily allowance for that meeting.

     Union representatives and employees will be compensated for attendance at
     issue resolution meetings (as outlined in Section Six) if they would
     otherwise be at work.

<PAGE>


                                                                          --17--


F.   Travel and Work Outside of the Mill

     Employees traveling on company business (more than 30 miles from the mill)
     on their regularly scheduled work day will be paid for travel time up to a
     maximum of eight hours in addition to hours worked. If travel time plus
     hours worked is less than eight (8), the employee will receive eight hours
     of pay.

     Employees traveling on a scheduled off-day will be paid straight time for
     actual travel time up to a maximum of eight hours of pay, unless weekly or
     Sunday premium applies.

     Employees working on company business outside of the mill on a regularly
     scheduled work day will be paid for actual hours worked, or eight hours,
     whichever is greater. Employees working outside of the mill on company
     business, on a nonscheduled workday, will be paid only for hours worked at
     the applicable rate.

G.   Reporting Time

     Employees who have not received at least two hours notification that their
     services are not required for their regularly scheduled day or shift will
     receive a minimum of four hours' work or, if no work is available, be given
     two hours of pay. Pay will be at the employee's regular rate, with premium
     rates applicable to work on Sundays and holidays.

SECTION NINE: PAY AND BENEFITS

A.   SKILL-BASED PAY

     1.   Definition/Principles

          In the Lakeview/Badger-Globe skill-based pay system, employees are
          compensated for the job related skills they possess and can
          demonstrate rather than the work assignment they are performing. For
          pay purposes, groups of skills are organized into skill blocks. Once
          an employee has demonstrated competency on a skill block and has
          performed those skills for a period of time (mastery period), they
          will be paid for possessing


<PAGE>


--18--


          that skill as long as they maintain mastery and are performing or
          applying those skills on a regular basis. Skill-based pay systems have
          evolved and are applied differently in each business unit to best meet
          the needs of that business unit. The specific rates of each business
          unit's pay system are described in Section Seventeen.

     2.   Hiring Rate

          New employees, except summer hires and temporary employees, will
          receive the following rates:

               Starting Rate            Effective Date
               -------------            --------------

                  $12.53                    6/1/95
                  $12.91                    6/1/96
                  $13.30                    6/1/97
                  $13.70                    6/1/98
                  $14.18                    6/1/99

          After satisfactory performance of ninety (90) days, employees will
          receive the following rates and will be eligible for the skill-based
          pay.

                   Rates                 Effective Date
                   -----                 --------------

                  $13.44                    6/1/95
                  $13.84                    6/1/96
                  $14.26                    6/1/97
                  $14.69                    6/1/98
                  $15.20                    6/1/99

          Temporary employees will be paid ninety percent (90%) of the starting
          rate. Summer hires will be paid $9.50 throughout their period of
          employment.

                  Maintenance Tradespersons' starting rate is:

Start          30-day         60-day         90-day              Effective Date
-----          ------         ------         ------              --------------
                                             tradespersons
                                             base rate

$16.15         $16.74         $17.33         $17.94                6/1/95
$16.63         $17.24         $17.85         $18.48                6/1/96
$17.13         $17.76         $18.38         $19.03                6/1/97
$17.64         $18.29         $18.93         $19.60                6/1/98
$18.26         $18.93         $19.60         $20.29                6/1/99


<PAGE>


                                                                          --19--


          All tradespersons including new hires are eligible for the maintenance
          continuity block, in addition to base rate, after they meet the two
          year requirement.

     3.   Assessment and Qualification

          The qualification process for acquiring skill blocks will include five
          steps: training, competency assessment, mastery, mastery assessment,
          and follow-up. Employees will receive the pay for a skill block after
          they have trained on the tasks associated with a skill block, have
          spent a minimum mastery period practicing these skills, and have
          demonstrated mastery of that skill.

          a.   Training

               Training periods will not be fixed, but will be based on business
               unit requirements and on an individual's capacity to learn a
               particular skill. Opportunity to train will be based on team
               seniority, ability to successfully perform the skill, and the
               distribution of required skills within the team.

          b.   Competency Assessment

               Employees will be assessed prior to the beginning of their
               mastery period to demonstrate the tasks on the skill checklist
               safely, efficiently, and effectively.

          c.   Mastery/Reassessment

               Once an employee has demonstrated the ability to competently
               perform the skills on the skill checklist, they will begin a
               minimum mastery period. During this period, the employee will be
               expected to develop and utilize the skill on a regular basis.
               After completing this mastery period, the employee will be
               reassessed. Once the employee has been reassessed and has
               demonstrated mastery, the pay associated with the skill block
               will be rewarded. An employee may not be in a mastery period in
               more than one skill block.

               If an employee is off work 30 consecutive days or less, that time
               will be credited toward the mastery period or


<PAGE>


--20--

               time/grade system. Time off exceeding 30 consecutive days
               (excluding vacations) will not be credited toward mastery or
               time/grade system.

          d.   Follow-up

               To maintain the rate of pay associated with all skill blocks,
               employees must maintain mastery and perform the skills on a
               regular basis. Follow-up assessments may be required of employees
               to demonstrate ongoing mastery. Employees who are unable to
               demonstrate such mastery will lose the pay for the skill block.

     4.   Transfers

          The following principles will apply to the treatment of skill-based
          pay in transfers or other movement.

          a.   Voluntary Transfer from Team to Team

               Employees returning to a former team within two years will
               transfer in at the entry rate [$13.44 eff. 6/1/95, $13.84 eff.
               6/1/96, $14.26 eff. 6/1/97, $14.69 eff. 6/1/98, $15.20 eff.
               6/1/99]. During the first 30 days on the team, employees will be
               assessed on the skill blocks they previously held. Training and
               mastery periods will be waived for any previously held skill
               blocks the employee can perform completely, and the employee will
               receive the pay associated with these skill blocks retroactive to
               the date of transfer. Employees returning to a former team after
               two years will not be given credit for any skill blocks they
               previously held. Maintenance tradespersons voluntarily
               transferring to a different business unit (Lakeview Mill, LVDP,
               LVFCP, BG and KCWest) will have their rate returned to the base
               rate for a two year period. If an employee transfers and returns
               to the same business unit within two years, the maintenance
               continuity block will be restored. This restriction will be
               discussed as a separate issue for new or expanded facilities.


<PAGE>


                                                                          --21--

          b.   Involuntary Transfer -- Team to Team

               When an employee is involuntarily transferred from one team to
               another, they will have their rate maintained for a period of one
               year from the date of transfer if a rate reduction would
               ordinarily result. During this period, employees will receive
               wage increases only when the pay for the skill blocks attained in
               the new team equals or exceeds the retained rate. After one year
               the employee will be paid for those skills that they have
               mastered in the new team. (Exception: see employees returning to
               former team.) The rate of involuntarily displaced maintenance
               tradespersons will be maintained for a period of one year from
               the date of transfer. Time spent during this involuntary
               displacement will be credited toward the maintenance continuity
               block.

     5.   Physical Limitations -- On Duty

          When an employee cannot perform all the skills for which they are
          being paid due to a work-related physical limitation, they will have
          their current rate maintained for up to 30 days from the date of the
          limitation. If the limitation is greater than 30 days and the team can
          utilize the individual, the employee will receive pay for those skill
          blocks which they are able to fully perform as determined by the
          assessment process.

          Once physical restrictions have been lifted, employees will receive
          the pay for skill blocks relinquished during the period of limitation
          providing they can demonstrate mastery on those blocks.

     6.   Rate Adjustments

          When significantly new skills are required to perform the work in a
          business unit, or when the current skills are rendered obsolete,
          management and union may discuss the anticipated change in the area
          work design and the skill-based pay system.


<PAGE>


--22--


          a.   New or Changed Skill Blocks

               If new or changed skill blocks are required, the area
               vice-president and business unit manager may negotiate a pay rate
               based on a comparison of similar skills, across and within the
               Lakeview/Badger-Globe Mill. Rates negotiated will be retroactive
               to the date of the change to the skill-based pay system, but not
               to exceed 180 days. The establishment of new rates will not be a
               subject of arbitration.

          b.   Obsolete Skills

               When current skills are judged to be obsolete, affected employees
               shall receive the pay for that skill block for a period of one
               year from the date the skill became obsolete.

B.   PREMIUM PAY

     1.   Monday through Saturday Overtime

          Overtime will be paid at time and one-half for all time worked in
          excess of the basic schedule of eight (8) hours per day or weekly
          hours in excess of forty (40), whichever is greater, but not both.

     2.   Sunday and Holiday Premium

          Double time will be paid for work performed during a twenty-four (24)
          hour period on Sundays and holidays. Employees scheduled to work on a
          Sunday or holiday will receive a minimum of three (3) hours at the
          premium rate, exclusive of work that carries over into their next
          regular shift.

          Weekday overtime does not apply to hours worked on Sundays or holidays
          except when the basic daily schedule on a Sunday or holiday is worked
          and the employee continues to work consecutive hours into the next
          work day. When this occurs, the employee will be paid week day
          overtime of time and one-half for the hours worked after the Sunday or
          holiday premium period. This is not applicable unless the hours worked
          are consecutive hours.


<PAGE>


--23--

     3.   Night Differential

          For day workers, a night work differential of forty cents (40 (cent))
          per hour (45 (cent) eff. 6/1/97) shall be paid for all hours worked
          between the hours of 6 p.m. to 6 am., except as described in the
          section on temporary change in work schedules.

          For employees on eight (8) hour shift schedules, a twenty-five cents
          per hour (25(cent)) night differential will be paid for work performed
          on the "B" shift and a forty cents per hour (40(cent)) (45(cent) per
          hour eff. 6/1/97) differential will be paid for work performed on the
          "C" shift.

     4.   Temporary Changes in Daily or Weekly Work Schedules (This applies only
          to day workers and shift workers who are moved to days for more than a
          week).

          A temporary change from day to night work is one which does not extend
          through one (1) workweek. If the temporary change continues into the
          next workweek, it will not be considered as a second change in
          schedule but a continuation of the original change. Payment for
          temporary changes in schedule will be as follows:

          a.   Time and one-half will be paid for the first two (2) days
               (excluding Sundays and holiday) for hours worked between 6:00
               p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The premium pay of time and one-half for two
               days will not be offset against overtime payable under FLSA.

          b.   No night differential will be paid during a change in schedule.

     5.   Call Time/Second Round Trip

          Call time is applicable when employees are asked to work hours in
          addition to their regular schedule, and the employee is not in the
          mill when the request to work additional hours is made. The mill/plant
          entrance is the point of reference for being in or out of the mill.

          Second round trip is applicable when employees are called or scheduled
          to make an additional round trip to the mill during the same day.


<PAGE>


--24--


          The following guidelines explain the premium time associated with call
          time or second round trip.

          a.   If the time worked on the call is greater than two hours = two
               hours of call time at straight time rates plus time and one-half
               for hours worked. (Exception: Sunday and holiday hours worked are
               paid at double time.)

          b.   If the time worked on the call is less than two hours = two hours
               of call time at straight time rates plus two hours of minimum
               pay. (Exception: Sunday or holiday pays two hours of minimum pay
               at double time.)

               Call time and second round trip provisions do not apply when
               coming into the mill to remove a lockout lock, or attend a
               meeting or fire brigade training.

     6.   Pay for Work on Scheduled Days Off

          Time and one-half will be paid for any hours worked on an employee's
          scheduled day of rest. This premium pay will not be offset against
          overtime payable under FLSA. This applies to seven-day swing
          operations only.

          All employees scheduled in advance to come in for work on their
          scheduled off-day will be allowed a minimum of four (4) hours of pay
          when the pay for the actual time worked is less than four (4) hours.
          This minimum allowance does not apply to work which begins prior to
          and extends into the employee's next scheduled shift, or to holdover
          work from the employee's previous shift.

          These provisions are not applicable to voluntary meeting hours.

     7.   Distribution of Overtime

          The opportunity for available overtime work will be distributed among
          qualified employees in each business unit. Business units will
          determine guidelines for distribution in their respective teams.

C.   INCONVENIENCE PAY (effective 11/1/95)

     When employees work the following overtime hours inconvenience pay will be
     applicable:

     1.   Eligible hours

          The following hours worked will be accumulated for each November 1
          through October 31 time period:

          a.   Employees called in -- see Section Nine B5.

          b.   Additional round trip -- see Section Nine B5.

          c.   Employees held over beyond their scheduled quitting time
               (Emergency Holdover).

          d.   Inconvenience pay does not apply to Sundays or days of rest.

     2.   Pay Calculation

          Total hours accumulated in C.1 above will be multiplied by $2.20.

     3.   Payment will be made by November 15 following the November 1 through
          October 31 time period.
