Trust (as the case may be) and Mt. McKinley or Everest (as the case may be)
shall meet and confer to attempt to resolve any such dispute.  If they
are unable to resolve such dispute by meeting and conferring, they may litigate
before the Bankruptcy




18


Court (or, if the Bankruptcy Court refuses to exercise
jurisdiction, before any court of competent jurisdiction) whether the Claim at
issue triggers the defense obligations pursuant to Section 7.1.  While
such dispute remains unresolved, Mt. McKinley or Everest has the right to defend
the Sale Injunction as they deem appropriate.  Mt. McKinley and
Everest shall cooperate reasonably with Congoleum and the Plan Trust with
respect to the obligations provided in this
Article VII.

Claims brought against Mt. McKinley and Everest, and/or any similar claims
brought against any other insurer with which Congoleum has obtained a settlement
pursuant to a sale and buyback of any insurance policies under Section 363(f) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

the Asbestos Channeling Injunction, Mt. McKinley and Everest, automatically and
without any further action, shall be entitled to, and shall be protected by, the

of the Asbestos




20


Channeling Injunction as to any Asbestos Claim asserted
against Mt. McKinley and Everest that is subject to the Asbestos Channeling
Injunction, subject to any limitations provided in the Plan or the Confirmation
Order;provided,however, that the obligation of the Plan Trust shall not, in
any event, exceed an aggregate of Three Million Six Hundred Thousand dollars

becomes a Final Order.




ARTICLE
XI -- EFFECTIVENESS OF


AMENDED
AND RESTATED AGREEMENT




11.1           This Amended and Restated Agreement is subject to, and
shall not become effective and binding unless and until the Approval Order
becomes a Final Order.




23


Immediately and automatically upon the Approval Order
becoming a Final Order, and without any need for further action (i) the
Settlement Agreement shall be amended and restated as provided in this Amended
and Restated Agreement; (ii) this Amended and Restated Agreement shall supersede
and replace the Settlement Agreement in its entirety; and (iii) this Amended and
Restated Agreement shall become effective and binding in accordance with its
terms.




11.2.                      This Amended and Restated Agreement shall be null and
void, and shall have no legal effect in the event that Congoleum’s motion for
the Approval Order is denied by an order of the Bankruptcy Court and such order
is not the subject of a timely appeal or timely motion for reargument, rehearing
or reconsideration,or, in the
event that an appeal, reargument, rehearing or reconsideration thereof has been
sought, such order shall have been affirmed by the highest court to which the
order was appealed, or from which reargument, rehearing or reconsideration was
sought, and the time to take any further appeal, or move for reargument,
rehearing or reconsideration shall have expired, and no such further appeal, or
motion for reargument, rehearing or reconsideration shall have been
filed.




11.3           In the event that this Amended and Restated Agreement is
null and void and has no legal effect as provided in Section 11.2, the

valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the rights and
obligations of the Parties under the Settlement Agreement, including the right
(if any) to terminate the Settlement Agreement, shall not be affected or
impaired by this Amended and Restated Agreement or by the Parties’ conduct in
entering into this Amended and Restated Agreement and seeking the Approval
Order.  In such event, it is the intention of the Parties that their
rights and obligations shall be as if this Amended and Restated Agreement had
never been formed.




24


ARTICLE
      XII -- JUDGMENT REDUCTION




12.1           In the event that another insurer of Congoleum brings a
claim for contribution, subrogation, indemnification, reimbursement or other
similar claim against Mt. McKinley and/or Everest in connection with Claims
released inthis Amended and Restated
Agreement, and such insurer obtains a final binding arbitration award or final
judgment against or a settlement with Mt. McKinley or Everest (with the consent
of Congoleum prior to the effective date of the Plan or with the consent of the
Plan Trust following said effective date, which consent in either case shall not
be unreasonably withheld), Congoleum or the Plan Trust (as the case may be)
shall voluntarily reduce the amount of any final binding arbitration award,
final judgment or settlement payment that it has obtained or may obtain from
such other insurer by the amount of such other insurer’s final binding
arbitration award or final judgment awarded against or settlement with Mt.
McKinley or Everest in connection with such contribution, subrogation,
indemnification or other similar claim, and shall direct that Mt. McKinley or
Everest (as the case may be) shall not be subject to liability for such
judgment, arbitration award or settlement.




12.2           Any reduction in judgment, arbitration award or
settlement will be accomplished by subtracting from the judgment, arbitration
award or settlement against the other insurer the share of the judgment,
arbitration award or settlement attributable to Mt. McKinley or Everest (as
the case may be).




25


ARTICLE
XIII -- SUBROGATION




13.1           Other than claims against Mt. McKinley’s and Everest’s
reinsurers or retrocessionaires, Mt. McKinley and Everest agree that they shall
not pursue subrogation, equitable indemnity, contribution, or reimbursement of
the Settlement Amount or any part thereof from any third party, including any
other primary or excess insurer of Congoleum or any other subscriber to any of
the Subject Policies.




13.2           Effective upon the Trigger Date and to the extent
permitted by law, Mt. McKinley and Everest, immediately and automatically,
and without any need for further action, hereby transfer and assign to Congoleum
all rights, claims, and causes of action relating to subrogation, reimbursement,
or contribution that Mt. McKinley and Everest may have, arising out of the
Settlement Amount paid hereunder;provided,however, that, if any third-party Person asserts any claim
against Mt. McKinley or Everest, Mt. McKinley or Everest shall be permitted to
pursue subrogation, equitable indemnity, contribution, or reimbursement of the
Settlement Amount or any part thereof from any such third-party Person in any
cross-claim, counter-claim or similar procedure.




13.3           The Parties agree that nothing in this Amended and
Restated Agreement shall limit the rights of Mt. McKinley and Everest to make
reinsurance claims and pursue their reinsurance recoveries (if
any).




ARTICLE
XIV -- CONFIDENTIALITY




14.1           Congoleum, Mt. McKinley, Everest, the FCR and the
Asbestos Claimants’ Committee (collectively, the“Settling
Parties”) each agrees that all matters
relating to the negotiation of this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be
confidential and are not to be disclosed except by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or by written agreement of the Settling Parties except to the
extent that disclosure of matters relating to the negotiation of this matter is
necessary in connection with obtaining the Approval Order.




26


14.2           In the event that a private litigant, by way of document
request, interrogatory, subpoena, or questioning at deposition, trial, or other
proceeding attempts to compel disclosure of anything protected by Section 14.1,
the Settling Party from whom disclosure is sought shall decline to provide the
requested information on the ground that this Amended and Restated Agreement
prevents such disclosure.  In the event that such private litigant
seeks an order from any court or governmental body to compel such disclosure, or
in the event that a court, government official, or governmental body (other than
the Internal Revenue Service or the Securities and Exchange Commission) requests
or requires disclosure of anything protected by Section 14.1, the Settling Party
from whom disclosure is sought shall immediately give written notice by
facsimile or hand-delivery to the other Settling Parties, and shall immediately
provide copies of all notice papers, orders, requests or other documents in
order to allow each Settling Party to take such protective steps as may be
appropriate.  Notice shall be made to the Persons identified in
Section 15.12.




14.3           Material protected by Section 14.1 shall be deemed to
fall within the protection afforded to compromises and offers to compromise by
Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and similar provisions of state law or
state court rules.




14.4           Nothing in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall
prevent any Settling Party from disclosing or releasing information regarding
the negotiation of this Amended and Restated Agreement in any form and at any
time after the date of said agreement to (i) reinsurers or
retrocessionaires of Mt. McKinley and Everest directly or through
intermediaries; (ii) outside auditors, attorneys or accountants of Congoleum,
Mt. McKinley and Everest; (iii) to the extent required by law, including,
to the extent applicable, to the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or




27


other United States or other governmental authority that
properly requires disclosure by a Settling Party; (iv) to the extent and in any
form that such information is required to be disclosed or released to satisfy
reporting requirements imposed by law, including any Federal securities laws;
and (v) as necessary in connection with the approval of this Amended and
Restated Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court.




14.5           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article
XIV, Congoleum may issue a press release at any time following the filing of a
motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of this Amended and Restated
Agreement;provided,however, that Congoleum first provides Mt. McKinley and Everest
with a copy of the press release and obtains Mt. McKinley’s and Everest’s
consent to said press release (such consent to be provided promptly and not to
be unreasonably withheld).




ARTICLE
XV -- MISCELLANEOUS




15.1           Congoleumwill
undertake all reasonable actions to cooperate with Mt. McKinley and Everest in
connection with their reinsurers, including(at Mt.
McKinley’s and
Everest’s sole
expense with respect to services and or assistance provided by external
Congoleum vendors, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Congoleum) responding
to reasonable requests for information and
meeting with representatives of reinsurers.  Such cooperation shall
include providing Mt. McKinley’s and Everest’s representative, upon
reasonable request, access to all claim files maintained by Congoleum, including
all product exposure, medical, claim status, and payment records contained in
such files;provided,however, that Mt. McKinley and Everest shall have no

15.2           The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Amended
and Restated Agreement was bargained for and entered into in good faith and as
the result of arm’s-length negotiations; and (ii) the Amended and Restated
Agreement is based on their respective independent assessments, with the
assistance and advice of counsel, that the payments and other benefits to be
received by the Parties pursuant to this Amended and Restated Agreement
constitute a fair and reasonable settlement of the Parties’ claims against each
other and constitute reasonably equivalent value for the releases, indemnity,
and other benefits conveyed under this Amended and Restated
Agreement.




15.3           This Amended and Restated Agreement is not a contract of
insurance and is not subject to rules of construction governing contracts of
insurance, including the doctrine ofcontra
proferentem.  This Amended and
Restated Agreement is a compromise between the Parties, and shall not be
construed as an admission of coverage under the Subject Policies, nor shall it
or any provision thereof be construed as a waiver, modification or retraction of
the positions of the Parties with respect to the interpretation and application
of the Subject Policies.




15.4           This Amended and Restated Agreement is the product of
informed negotiations and involves compromises of the Parties’ previously stated
legal positions.  Accordingly, it does not reflect upon the Parties’
views as to rights and obligations with respect to matters or Persons outside
its scope.  This Amended and Restated Agreement is without prejudice
to positions taken by Mt. McKinley and Everest with regard to other insureds,
and without prejudice to positions taken by Congoleum, the FCR and the Asbestos
Claimants’ Committee with regard to other insurers.




29


15.5           This Amended and Restated Agreement is the
jointly-drafted product of arm’s-length negotiations between the Parties, the
Asbestos Claimants’ Committee and the FCR with the benefit of advice from
counsel, and the Parties, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee and the FCR agree
that it shall be so construed.  As such, no Party will claim that any
ambiguity in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be construed against the
other Party.




15.6           No change, amendment or modification of this Amended and
Restated Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed on behalf of
Congoleum, Mt. McKinley, Everest, the FCR and the Asbestos Claimants’
Committee (or their respective attorney-in-fact).




15.7           This Amended and Restated Agreement, including the
Attachments hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all discussions, agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect
hereto.




15.8           This Amended and Restated Agreement shall be governed
by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of New Jersey without
regard to its choice of law rules.




15.9           There may be multiple originals of this Amended and
Restated Agreement, which may be executed in counterparts.  Facsimiles
or scanned versions of signatures of the undersigned shall be treated as
originals.




15.10         This Amended and Restated Agreement shall be binding, in
accordance with its terms, upon any subsequent trustee in the Chapter 11 Cases
and any successor to the FCR.




30


15.11         Upon the later of its formation and the occurrence of
the effective date of the Plan, the Plan Trust shall become a Party to this
Amended and Restated Agreement, automatically and without any further
action.
