         2. Registration Under the Securities Act.

         (a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Company and Fort
     James agree to file under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, but
     no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, a registration statement
     relating to an offer to exchange (such registration statement, the
     "Exchange Registration Statement", and such offer, the "Exchange Offer")
     any and all of the Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt
     securities issued by the Company and guaranteed by Fort James, which debt
     securities and guarantees are substantially identical to the Securities and
     the related Guarantees, respectively (and are entitled to the benefits of a
     trust indenture which is substantially identical to the 2010 Note Indenture
     or the 2013 Note Indenture, as applicable, or is the 2010 Note Indenture or
     the 2013 Note Indenture, as applicable, and which has been qualified under
     the Trust Indenture Act), except that such new debt securities have been
     registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
     Securities Act and do not contain provisions for the additional interest
     contemplated in Section 2(c) below (such new debt securities hereinafter
     called "Exchange Securities"). The Company and Fort James agree to use
     their reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Registration Statement
     to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no
     later than 180 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Offer will be
     registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply
     with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange
     Act. The Company and Fort James further agree to use their reasonable best
     efforts to commence and complete the Exchange Offer promptly, but no later
     than 30 business days (or such longer period as may be required by federal
     securities law) after the Effective Time of such Exchange Registration
     Statement, hold the Exchange Offer open for at least 30 days and exchange
     Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly
     tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the Exchange
     Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been "completed" only if
     the Exchange Securities and the related guarantees received by Holders
     other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable
     Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such Holder without
     restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without
     material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a
     substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. The
     Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the earlier to
     occur of (i) the Company having exchanged the Exchange Securities for all
     outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii)
     the Company having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange
     Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered
     and not withdrawn before the

                                       4
<PAGE>

     expiration of the Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is not less
     than 30 days following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Company
     and Fort James agree (x) to include in the Exchange Registration Statement
     a prospectus for use in any resales by any Holder of Exchange Securities
     that is a Broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration
     Statement effective for a period (the "Resale Period") beginning at the
     Effective Time of such Exchange Registration Statement and ending upon the
     earlier of the expiration of the 180th day after the Exchange Offer has
     been completed or such time as such Broker-dealers no longer own any
     Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Registration
     Statement, such Holders shall have the benefit of the rights of
     indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a), (c), (d) and
     (e) hereof.

         (b) If (i) the Company and Fort James are not required to file the
     Exchange Registration Statement, (ii) the Company and Fort James are not
     permitted to consummate the Exchange Offer because it is not permitted by
     applicable law or Commission policy, or (iii) any Holder of Registrable
     Securities provides written notice to the Company at any time prior to the
     20th day following the consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such
     Holder is prohibited under applicable law or under the rules, regulations
     or policies of the Commission from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B)
     it may not resell Exchange Securities acquired by such Holder in the
     Exchange Offer without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained
     in the Exchange Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for
     such resale, or (C) it is a Broker-dealer and it holds securities acquired
     directly from the Company or an affiliate of the Company, the Company and
     Fort James shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition
     to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof, file
     under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days
     after the time such obligation to file arises, a "shelf" registration
     statement under the Securities Act providing for the registration of, and
     the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the Holders of, all of the
     Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may
     be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the "Shelf Registration" and
     such registration statement, the "Shelf Registration Statement"). The
     Company and Fort James agree to use their reasonable best efforts (x) to
     cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective
     no later than 150 days after the obligation to file such Shelf Registration
     Statement arises and, subject to Section 2(f) hereof, to keep such Shelf
     Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the
     earlier of the second anniversary of the Effective Time or such time as any
     Registrable Securities registered under the Shelf Registration Statement
     cease to be Registrable Securities as defined in this Exchange and
     Registration Rights Agreement, provided, however, that no Holder shall be
     entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration
     Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of
     Registrable Securities unless such Holder is an Electing Holder, and (y)
     after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, promptly upon
     the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities registered under the
     Shelf Registration Statement that is not then an Electing Holder, to take
     any action reasonably necessary to enable such Holder to use the prospectus
     forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement for resales of
     Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action necessary
     to identify such Holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf
     Registration Statement, provided, however, that nothing in this clause (y)
     shall relieve any such Holder of the obligation to return a completed and
     signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section
     3(d)(iii) hereof. Subject to Section 2(f) hereof, the Company and Fort
     James further agree to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf
     Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or
     instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for
     such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and
     regulations thereunder for shelf registration, and the Company agrees to
     furnish to each Electing Holder copies of any

                                       5
<PAGE>

     such supplement or amendment prior to its being used or promptly following
     its filing with the Commission.

         (c) In the event that (i) the Company and Fort James have not filed the
     Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or
     before the date on which such registration statement is required to be
     filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, respectively, or (ii) such
     Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement has not
     become effective or been declared effective by the Commission on or before
     the date on which such registration statement is required to become or be
     declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, respectively,
     or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 30 business days
     after the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration Statement relating to
     the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange Offer is then required to be made) or
     (iv) any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement
     required by Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is filed and declared effective but
     shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Company or shall become subject
     to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the
     Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement
     (except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded
     immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared
     effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a
     "Registration Default" and each period during which a Registration Default
     has occurred and is continuing, a "Registration Default Period"), then, as
     liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions
     of Section 9(b) hereof, special interest ("Special Interest"), in addition
     to the Base Interest, shall accrue at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the
     first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of
     0.50% for the second 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per
     annum rate of 0.75% for the third 90 days of the Registration Default
     Period and at a per annum rate of 1.0% thereafter for the remaining portion
     of the Registration Default Period.

         (d) The Company shall take, and shall cause Fort James to take, all
     actions necessary to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are
     effected as so contemplated, including all actions necessary to register
     the Guarantees under the registration statement contemplated in Section
     2(a) or 2(b) hereof, as applicable.

         (e) Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time
     shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be
     incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein
     to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time
     shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be
     incorporated, therein by reference as of such time.

         (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Exchange and
     Registration Rights Agreement (but subject to the further provisions of
     this Section 2(f)), the Company may for valid business reasons, including,
     without limitation, a potential acquisition, divestiture of assets or other
     material corporate event or transaction, issue a notice to Holders of
     Registrable Securities registered under any Shelf Registration Statement
     that such Shelf Registration Statement is no longer effective or that the
     prospectus included therein is no longer usable for offers and sales of
     Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement and may
     issue any notice suspending use of the Shelf Registration Statement
     required under applicable law to be issued; provided that the use of the
     Shelf Registration Statement shall not be suspended for more than 45 days
     in the aggregate in any consecutive 12-month period.

     Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, the
     Company shall qualify the Indentures under the Trust Indenture Act.

         (b)    In the event that such qualification would require the
     appointment of a new trustee under either of the Indentures, the Company
     shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable
     provisions of that Indenture.

         (c)    In connection with the Company's and Fort James' obligations
     with respect to the registration of Exchange Securities as contemplated by

          Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and
          regulations of the Commission thereunder, as such Broker-dealer

          which notices shall contain the text of the amendment or waiver
          effected;

                (xix)   in the event that any Broker-dealer registered under the
          Exchange Act shall underwrite any Registrable Securities or
          participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group
          or "assist in the distribution" (within the meaning of the Conduct
          Rules (the "Conduct Rules") of the National Association of Securities
          Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or any successor thereto, as amended from time
          to time) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Registrable Securities
          or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer
          in respect thereof, or otherwise, assist such Broker-dealer in
          complying with the requirements of such Conduct Rules, including by
          (A) if such Conduct Rules shall so require, engaging a "qualified
          independent underwriter" (as defined in such Conduct Rules) to
          participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement
          relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards
          of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the
          offering contemplated by such Shelf Registration Statement is an
          underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent,
          to recommend the yield of such Registrable Securities, (B)
          indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent
          of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 6 hereof
          (or to such other customary extent as may be requested by such
          underwriter), and (C) providing such information to such Broker-dealer
          as may be required in order for such Broker-dealer to comply with the
          requirements of the Conduct Rules; and

                (xx)    comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
          Commission, and make generally available to its securityholders as

          after the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement, an
          earning statement of the Company and its subsidiaries complying with
          Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at the option of the
          Company, Rule 158 thereunder).

                                       14

         (e) If the Company notifies the Broker-dealers in accordance with
     Sections 2(f), 3(c)(iii)(B) or 3(c)(iii)(F) above to suspend the use of the
     prospectus until the suspension has terminated, the requisite changes to
     the prospectus have been made or any stop order has been lifted, as the
     case may be, then any such Broker-dealers shall suspend the use of such
     prospectus, and, in the case of a suspension under Sections 3(c)(iii)(B) or
     (F), the period of effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement
     provided for in Section 2(a) above shall be extended (i) by the number of
     days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
     including the date when Broker-dealers shall have received such amended or
     supplemented prospectus pursuant to Section 3(c)(iv) hereof or (ii) if
     earlier, until the date when none of the Securities represent Registrable
     Securities. In the event that the Company would be required, pursuant to
     Section 3(d)(viii)(B) or (F) above, to notify the Electing Holders, the
     placement or sales agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriters,
     if any, thereof, the Company shall without delay prepare and furnish to
     each of the Electing Holders, to each placement or sales agent, if any, and
     to each such underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies of a
     prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to
     purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall conform in all
     material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and
     the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
     thereunder and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
     omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
     make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
     then existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice
     from the Company pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(B) or (F) hereof, such
     Electing Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable
     Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such
     Registrable Securities until such Electing Holder shall have received
     copies of such amended or supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by
     the Company, such Electing Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the
     Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in
     such Electing Holder's possession of the prospectus covering such
     Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

         (f) In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the
     information required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice
     and Questionnaire, the Company may require such Electing Holder to furnish
     to the Company such additional information regarding such Electing Holder
     and such Electing Holder's intended method of distribution of Registrable
     Securities as may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act.
     Each such Electing Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as
     practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished
     by such Electing Holder to the Company or of the occurrence of any event in
     either case as a result of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf
     Registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material
     fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder's intended
     method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits to state any
     material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder's
     intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities required to
     be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
     misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to
     furnish to the Company any additional information required to correct and
     update any previously furnished information or required so that such
     prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the
     disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a
     material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light
     of the circumstances then existing.

         (g) Until the expiration of two years after the Closing Date, the
     Company will not, and will not permit any of its "affiliates" (as defined
     in Rule 144) to, resell any of the Securities

                                       15
<PAGE>

     that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective
     registration statement under the Securities Act.

         4. Registration Expenses.

            The Company agrees to bear and to pay or cause to be paid promptly

Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, including (a) all Commission and any
NASD registration, filing and review fees and expenses including reasonable fees

offering, sale or delivery of Securities and the preparation of documents
referred in clause (c) above, (e) fees and expenses of the Trustees under the

rating services for rating the Securities, and (k) fees, expenses and
disbursements of any other Persons, including special experts, retained by the
Company in connection with such registration (collectively, the "Registration
Expenses"). To the extent that any Registration Expenses are incurred, assumed
or paid by any Holder of Registrable Securities or any placement or sales agent
therefor or underwriter thereof, the Company shall reimburse such Person for the
full amount of the Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed or paid promptly
after receipt of a request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders
of the Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all agency fees and
commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions attributable to the sale
of such Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or
other advisors or experts retained by such Holders (severally or jointly), other
than the counsel and experts specifically referred to above.

         5. Representations and Warranties.

            Each of the Company and Fort James represents and warrants to, and
agrees with, each Purchaser and each of the Holders from time to time of
Registrable Securities that:

                                       16
<PAGE>

         (a) Each registration statement covering Registrable Securities and
     each prospectus (including any preliminary or summary prospectus) contained
     therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 3(c) hereof and
     any further amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or
     prospectus, when it becomes effective or is filed with the Commission, as
     the case may be, and, in the case of an underwritten offering of
     Registrable Securities, at the time of the closing under the underwriting
     agreement relating thereto, will conform in all material respects to the
     requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the
     rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an
     untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
     required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
     not misleading; and at all times subsequent to the Effective Time when a
     prospectus would be required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
     other than from (i) such time as a notice has been given to Holders of
     Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) or Section
     3(c)(iii)(F) hereof until (ii) such time as the Company furnishes an
     amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section
     3(c)(iv) hereof, each such registration statement, and each prospectus
     (including any summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant
     to Section 3(d) or Section 3(c) hereof, as then amended or supplemented,
     will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities
     Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the
     Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a
     material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
     light of the circumstances then existing; provided, however, that this
     representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions
     made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
     writing to the Company by a Holder of Registrable Securities expressly for
     use therein.

         (b) Any documents incorporated by reference in any prospectus referred
     to in Section 5(a) hereof, when they become or became effective or are or
     were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform or
     conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities
     Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents will
     contain or contained an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit or
     omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
     to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this
     representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions
     made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
     writing to the Company by a Holder of Registrable Securities expressly for
     use therein.

         (c) The compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this
     Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the
     transactions herein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a
     breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under,
     any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement
     or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a
     party or by which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is bound or
     to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary of
     the Company is subject, or (ii) result in any violation of (A) the
     provisions of the articles of incorporation, as amended, or the by-laws of
     the Company or Fort James or (B) any statute or any order, rule or
     regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
     over the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any of their
     properties, except with respect to clauses (i) and (ii)(B), for such
     conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults which have been consented to or
     waived or which would not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect; no
     consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of
     or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the
     consummation by the Company or Fort James of the transactions contemplated
     by this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, except the

                                       17
<PAGE>

     registration under the Securities Act of the Securities, qualification of
     the Indentures under the Trust Indenture Act and such consents, approvals,
     authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under
     State securities or blue sky laws in connection with the offering and
     distribution of the Securities.

         (d) This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement has been duly
     authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and Fort James.

         6. Indemnification.

         (a) Indemnification by the Company and Fort James. The Company and Fort
     James, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the
     Holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration
     Statement, each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included
     in a Shelf Registration Statement and each Person who participates as a
     placement or sales agent or as an underwriter in any offering or sale of
     such Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages or
     liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder, agent or underwriter
     may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
     losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
     arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
     statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration
     Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which
     such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or
     any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished
     by the Company to any such Holder, Electing Holder, agent or underwriter,
     or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon
     the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
     to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
     misleading, and will reimburse such Holder, such Electing Holder, such
     agent and such underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably
     incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
     action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that
     neither the Company nor Fort James shall be liable to any such Person in
     any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
     arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
     statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration
     statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or amendment or
     supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
     information furnished to the Company by such Person expressly for use
     therein.

         (b) Indemnification by the Holders and any Agents and Underwriters. The
     Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities
     in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof and to
     entering into any underwriting agreement with respect thereto, that the
     Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it
     from the Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities and from each
     underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and not
     jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Fort James, and
     all other Holders of Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims,
     damages or liabilities to which the Company, Fort James or such other
     Holders of Registrable Securities may become subject, under the Securities
     Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
     (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue
     statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
     Shelf Registration Statement, or any preliminary, final or summary
     prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such
     Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement
     thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
     to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
     to make the statements therein not

                                       18
<PAGE>

     misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
     untrue statement or alleged untrue 3statement or omission or alleged
     omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
     information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder or underwriter
     expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company and Fort James
     for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and Fort
     James in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
     claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such
     Electing Holder shall be required to undertake liability to any Person
     under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of
     the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such
     Electing Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf
     Registration.

         (c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
     party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the
     commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
     respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the
     indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify
     such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but
     the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from
     any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
     under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or
     6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any
     indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the
     commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to
     participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any
     other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof,
     with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall
     not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the
     indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such
     indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such
     indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any
     legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
     subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the
     defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No
     indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified
     party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of
     any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in
     respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
     (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to
     such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
     includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all
     liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a
     statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act
     by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

         (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions
     contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof are unavailable to or
     insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any
     losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
     referred to in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof, then each indemnifying party
     shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
     a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
     respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
     relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in
     connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
     claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as
     any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
     indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference
     to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
     material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
     relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such
     indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
     information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
     omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and

                                       19
<PAGE>

     equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by
     pro rata allocation (even if the Holders or any agents or underwriters or
     all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
     method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
     considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable
     by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or
     liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be
     deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred
     by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
     such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d),
     no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
     amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder
     from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees,
     discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any
     damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
     such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission,
     and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
     the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities
     underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public
     exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been
     required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
     omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent
     misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
     Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty
     of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders' and any underwriters'
     obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in

                     1991 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN OF
                           AMERICAN HOMEPATIENT, INC.

         Amendment No. 9 to 1991 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") of
American HomePatient, Inc. (the "Corporation") as approved by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation on November 9, 2000.

as follows:

         3. Stock Subject to the Plan. There will be reserved for issuance upon
         the exercise of Options 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which will be
         authorized and unissued Common Stock. If an Option expires or
         terminates for any reason without being exercised in full, the shares
         subject thereto which have not been purchased will again be available
         for purposes of the Plan. The number of shares as to which Options may
         be granted under the Plan will be proportionately adjusted, to the
         nearest whole share, in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
         share combination or similar recapitalization involving the Common
         Stock or any spin-off, spin-out or other significant distribution of
         assets of stockholders for which the Corporation receives no
         consideration. In the event that there is an insufficient number of
         authorized shares of Common Stock available to allow exercise of the
         Options on the date of any grant hereunder, such Options will not be
         exercisable until there are sufficient shares of Common Stock
         authorized for issuance.
