         GAF Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GAF"), hereby grants Sunil

         b)       "Base Book Value" means (1) $122.77 minus (2) the ISPHI Book

                  value per share of Common Stock, as determined in accordance
                  with generally accepted accounting principles, but without
                  giving effect to the reversal, if any, of any or all of the
                  reserve for income taxes payable established by GAF in
                  connection with and as a result of the transfer of the
                  surfactants business of GAF Chemicals Corporation, an indirect
                  subsidiary of GAF, to Rhone-Poulenc Specialty Chemicals, L.P.
                  and appearing on GAF's consolidated balance sheet for the
                  quarter ended March 31, 1990, and after other charges, such as
                  declaration of dividends on any capital stock of GAF or
                  payments with respect to repurchases by GAF of any capital
                  stock from holders thereof but excluding (1) any amounts
                  reflecting the liquidation preferences of any outstanding
                  preferred stock of GAF, (2) any reductions resulting from
                  purchases of GAF's capital stock by persons who participated
                  in promoting the "Acquisition" referred to in the Prospectus
                  dated March 24, 1989 relative to the Common Stock and certain
                  other securities of GAF (predecessor cost basis adjustment),
                  (3) any charges relating to amortization of goodwill and other
                  intangibles arising from the Acquisition and related
                  transactions, (4) that portion of depreciation 




                                       1

                  charges attributable to the write-up of assets as a result of
                  the application of purchase accounting in connection with the
                  Acquisition and (5) any charges relating to amortization of
                  deferred financing costs and expenses incurred in connection
                  with the Acquisition; provided, however, that (i) any

                  adjustments to the Book Value shall include the tax effects,
                  if any, associated therewith, (ii) any charges specified in
                  subclauses (3), (4) or (5) above, relating to a business or
                  assets of GAF or any of its subsidiaries, which charges shall
                  have been incurred on or after the date of the Acquisition but
                  which, because of the operation of said subclauses (3), (4)
                  and/or (5), shall not theretofore have been included in the
                  calculation of the Book Value, shall be so included following
                  a transaction involving such business or assets that, in
                  accordance with the next sentence, is deemed a sale or
                  disposition thereof, and (iii) for purposes of clause (ii), an
                  asset, liability or charge not exclusively attributable to the
                  specific business or assets deemed to have been sold or
                  otherwise disposed of shall, if attributable to such business
                  or assets and to other businesses or assets, be deemed to
                  relate to the business or assets sold or otherwise disposed of
                  and to such other businesses or assets pro rata based on
                  relative business and assets values immediately following
                  consummation of the Acquisition; and provided further, that,
                  in calculating the Book Value, the Shares and, if any other
                  stock appreciation rights issued by GAF based upon
                  appreciation in value of shares of Common Stock are
                  outstanding at the time of calculation, the shares of Common
                  Stock upon which such appreciation in value is based ("SAR
                  Shares") shall be deemed outstanding. The Board of Directors
                  of GAF shall determine (i) whether a transaction involving a
                  business or assets of GAF or any of its subsidiaries is a sale
                  or disposition for purposes of the definition and calculation
                  of the Book Value and (ii) if such transaction is a sale or
                  disposition, the amount of the gain or loss thereon. The gain
                  or loss on any sale or disposition shall be the actual
                  economic benefit to GAF from such transaction, as determined
                  by the Board of Directors of GAF.

                  increased by an amount equal to any cash dividends or
                  distributions that would have been paid on the Shares from
                  February 13, 1995 through the date of determination if they
                  had been outstanding; provided, however, that, if securities

                  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
                  Act"), Market Price shall be substituted for Book Value in

         e)       "Exercise Value" means (i) zero if the Grantee's employment

                  employment is terminated on or after February 13, 1999 but
                  prior to February 13, 2000; and (v) 100% of the Spread if the
                  Grantee's employment is terminated on or after February 13,
                  2000.

         f)       "ISPHI" means ISP Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation.

         g)       "ISPHI Book Value" means the Base Book Value as defined in
                  that certain agreement, dated as of the date hereof, pursuant
                  to which ISPHI granted to the Grantee a stock appreciation
                  right (the "ISPHI SAR") based upon the appreciation in value

                  if no sale takes

                  are not then listed or admitted to trading on any stock
                  exchange, the average of the last reported closing bid and
                  asked prices furnished by the National Association of

                  the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected
                  by GAF.

         j)       The "Restricted Period" means the period commencing on

2. GAF and the Grantee are parties to that certain agreement (the "Old GAF SAR
Agreement"), dated as of March 7, 1995, pursuant to which GAF granted to the

Grantee the right to receive an amount in cash based upon the appreciation in
value of 9,201 shares of Common Stock. GAF and the Grantee hereby agree that for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Old GAF SAR Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3. In the event that the Grantee is not employed by GAF and its affiliates for
any reason on or after the date hereof, GAF shall have the right, but not the
obligation, exercisable by notice to the Grantee within thirty (30) days after
termination of employment, to repurchase the SAR for an amount in cash equal to
the Exercise Value, with the Current Value determined as of the last day of the
calendar quarter next preceding the calendar quarter in which termination of
employment occurs.

4. In the event that the Grantee is not employed by GAF and its affiliates for
any reason on or after the date hereof, the 


                                      4
<PAGE>

Grantee shall have the right, exercisable by notice to GAF within thirty (30)
days after termination of employment, to require GAF to repurchase the SAR for
an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Value, with the Current Value based upon
the lowest amount thereof determined as of the last day of the following
calendar quarters: the calendar quarter (the "Quarter") immediately preceding
the calendar quarter in which the termination of employment occurred and the
first, second and third calendar quarters immediately succeeding the Quarter.

5. In each calendar year the Grantee may, at the Grantee's option, exercisable
by notice delivered to GAF on or before March 31 of that year, elect to cause
GAF to repurchase the SAR (or any portion thereof) for an amount in cash equal
to the Exercise Value determined as of the last day of the preceding year.

6. (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, GAF shall not be entitled to repurchase
the SAR under paragraph 3, and the Grantee shall not be entitled to cause GAF to
repurchase the SAR or any portion thereof under paragraph 4 or 5, unless ISPHI
exercises the comparable right to repurchase, or the Grantee exercises the
comparable right to cause ISPHI to repurchase a like portion of, as applicable,
the ISPHI SAR. Any negative value of either the SAR or ISPHI SAR shall be offset
against the purchase price of the other security; provided, however, that (i)
any negative value of the ISPHI SAR shall not be offset against the value of the
SAR if a Sale Transaction (as hereinafter defined) with respect to GAF shall
have occurred and (ii) if such offset is effected and the aggregate net value of
such securities is less than zero, then the value of both securities shall be
deemed to be zero.

          (b) The closing of any repurchase by GAF of the SAR or a portion
thereof shall be held within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) if
applicable, the date on which the Book Value on which the Current Value is based
is determined or (ii) the date on which the right to sell or repurchase is
exercised. The purchase price shall be paid by delivery to the Grantee of a
certified or official bank check or wire transfer.


          (c) In the event a repurchase of the SAR or a portion thereof pursuant
to paragraph 3, 4 or 5 hereof shall be prohibited, or would cause a default,
under the terms of any institutional credit agreement, indenture or other like
instrument with respect to borrowed money to which GAF or any of 



                                       5
<PAGE>

its affiliates may be a party or be bound, in each case as the same may be
amended from time to time, or shall be prohibited by law, the rights and
obligations of the Grantee and GAF pursuant to paragraph 3, 4 or 5 hereof, as
the case may be, shall be suspended until the prohibition lapses or is waived
and no default would be caused. If the Board of Directors of GAF shall determine
in good faith that, in light of the financial condition or financial resources
of GAF, it would be imprudent for GAF to repurchase the SAR or a portion thereof
pursuant to paragraph 4 or 5, the rights and obligations of the Grantee and GAF
pursuant to paragraph 4 or 5 shall be suspended until the Board of Directors
determines that such repurchase would be prudent in such light. Upon the lapse
or waiver of the restrictions or upon such determination that the purchase would
be prudent, as the case may be, the purchase price to be paid by GAF for the SAR
or such portion thereof shall be determined as of the last day of the calendar
quarter in which such restrictions are waived or lapse or such determination
occurs, and the purchase price shall be paid with interest thereon at the rate
of 5.75% per annum from the first anniversary of the event giving rise to the
repurchase obligation to the date of payment.

7. At least ten (10) days prior to the consummation during the Restricted Period
of any sale or transfer by any member of the Heyman Group (as hereinafter
defined) to any unrelated third party of securities of the same class as Shares,
GAF shall cause those members of the Heyman Group (the "Selling Members") to
deliver to the Grantee a written notice (a "Sale Notice"), which shall fully
disclose the identity of the prospective transferee and the terms and conditions
of the proposed sale. The Grantee may elect to participate in the contemplated
sale by delivering written notice to the Selling Members within seven (7) days
of receipt of such Sale Notice. If the Grantee elects to participate in the
contemplated sale, he will be entitled to sell in the contemplated sale or, if
GAF elects, to GAF or to GAF's designee, for an amount per Share equal to the
sales price per Share received by the Selling Members minus the Appreciation
Value per Share and, to the extent applicable, on the same terms applicable to
the Selling Members, that portion of the SAR bearing the same relationship to
the number of Shares represented hereby of the class being transferred as the
amounts to be so transferred by the Selling Members bear to the Heyman Group's
aggregate holdings of securities of such class. This paragraph 7 shall apply to
any sales or transfers of Shares, whether or not made pursuant to an effective
registration statement in 



                                       6
<PAGE>

accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall not apply to

any sale of securities of the same class as Shares in brokerage transactions on
a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market. The term
"Heyman Group" shall mean Samuel J. Heyman, Heyman Holdings Associates Limited
Partnership or any other person or entity controlled by or under common control
with Mr. Heyman.

8. If a Sale Transaction occurs with respect to International Specialty Products
Inc. or its direct or indirect parent or Building Materials Corporation of
America ("BMCA") or its direct or indirect parent and the Grantee is employed by
the entity with respect to which such Sale Transaction shall have occurred or
any subsidiary thereof and the Grantee is not offered employment by an entity
controlled by Samuel J. Heyman, a member of Mr. Heyman's immediate family, a
partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity established for
the benefit of a member or members of Mr. Heyman's immediate family or their
respective affiliates (a "Heyman Entity") on terms substantially similar to
those pursuant to which he was employed prior to such Sale Transaction then,
irrespective of any other provision of this Agreement, the Exercise Value shall
be deemed to be 100% of the Spread following such Sale Transaction. If the
Grantee is offered employment with a Heyman Entity following such Sale
Transaction on the terms specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the
Grantee accepts such employment and such employment is terminated by the Heyman
Entity (other than for Cause (as hereinafter defined)) within twelve (12) months
following the consummation of such Sale Transaction, then, irrespective of any
other provision of this Agreement, the Exercise Value shall be deemed to be 100%
of the Spread. Either of the events specified in the two immediately preceding
sentences shall be referred to herein as an "Acceleration Event". If an
Acceleration Event shall have occurred and GAF shall repurchase the SAR on a
date on which, absent the occurrence of such Acceleration Event, the Exercise
Value of the SAR would have been less than 100% of the Spread, the date of such
repurchase shall be deemed to be, for purposes of determining the interest
accrual in calculation of the Appreciation Value as of such date, the date on
which the Exercise Value of the SAR would have been 100% of the Spread absent
the occurrence of such Acceleration Event. "Sale Transaction" shall mean, with
respect to any entity, the sale by such entity (by stock sale, asset sale
(including, without limitation, by sale of stock or assets of a subsidiary of
such entity), merger or consolidation or otherwise) of all or 


                                       7
<PAGE>

substantially all of such entity's assets. "Cause" shall mean (i) the commission
of a felony, the commission of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or the
commission of any other act involving dishonesty, disloyalty or fraud with
respect to the Grantee's employer or any affiliate thereof, (ii) substantial and
repeated failure by the Grantee to perform his duties, (iii) gross negligence or
willful misconduct with respect to the Grantee's employer or any affiliate
thereof or (iv) a material breach of any of the terms or provisions of any
employment agreement to which the Grantee may be party; provided, however, that
if at the time of termination of the Grantee's employment the Grantee is a party
to an employment agreement with the Heyman Entity that contains a definition of
Cause that is inconsistent with the provisions hereof, the definition contained
in that employment agreement shall govern for purposes of this Agreement.


9. If a Sale Transaction shall have occurred with respect to BMCA or its direct
or indirect parent and the Exercise Value of the SAR is not 100% of the Spread
at the time of the consummation of such Sale Transaction, then GAF shall place
in trust, for the benefit of the Grantee, an amount (the "Trust Amount") equal
to 100% less the percentage of the Spread on which the Exercise Value would have
been based if the Exercise Value were calculated on the date on which such Sale
Transaction is consummated, multiplied by the Sale Value (as hereinafter
defined). "Sale Value" shall mean (i) if GAF is the entity with respect to which
the Sale Transaction shall have occurred and such Sale Transaction is the sale
of the stock of, or a merger or consolidation with respect to, GAF, the product
of (x) the aggregate consideration received by the holders of Common Stock
divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (treating as
outstanding any SAR Shares) on the date of the consummation of such Sale
Transaction multiplied by (y) the number of Shares or (ii) in the case of any
other Sale Transaction, the Current Value, with the Book Value calculated
immediately after giving effect to the consummation of such Sale Transaction or,
if securities of the same class as the Shares are then registered under the
Exchange Act, Market Value calculated for the period ending with the date of the
consummation of such Sale Transaction. Upon the repurchase of the SAR, the
Grantee shall be entitled to receive from such trust the Trust Amount as the
sole consideration for the repurchase thereof. The terms of the trust shall
provide that if the SAR or any portion thereof or any other stock appreciation
rights relating to the Common Stock shall expire unexercised, the Trust Amount
and any other amounts 



                                       8
<PAGE>

deposited for the benefit of persons who as of such date hold any such stock
appreciation rights shall be allocated pro rata among such persons and holders
of Common Stock as of the date the Sale Transaction was consummated, subject to
the vesting of such stock appreciation rights.

10. The Shares shall include any securities that would have been received by the
Grantee, if the Shares had been outstanding, in any split-up, recapitalization,
combination, dividend, distribution, merger or exchange of or relating to the
Common Stock, including any securities of a subsidiary of GAF distributed to
stockholders of GAF, and if any such event shall occur the Board of Directors of
GAF shall make such adjustments in Book Value, Appreciation Value and Current
Value as they determine in good faith are appropriate.

11. The Grantee may not sell, pledge, give, transfer, assign, encumber or
dispose of the SAR (or any interest herein or therein) except by will or
intestacy.

12. All determinations by the Board of Directors of GAF hereunder shall be made
in good faith and shall be binding and conclusive.


13.               (a)      All notices or other communications hereunder shall
                           be given in writing and shall be deemed duly given
                           and received on the third full business day following

                           the date of mailing by registered or certified mail,

                           shall have designated by notice as herein provided to

         (b)      On or prior to March 31, 1997, GAF shall deliver to the
                  Grantee a written notice setting forth the Base Book Value.

         (c)      This writing constitutes the entire agreement of the parties

                  all agreements between the parties with respect to the subject
