to reduce such arrangement to writing.

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
undertakings contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

       SECTION 1. TERM. The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall begin on the

earlier terminated under the provisions of Section 13 of this Agreement.

       SECTION 2. CONSULTING COMPENSATION. Jones shall remain an executive
officer of the Company until the beginning date of the Term of this Agreement
and shall become an unclassified employee of the Company on such date and shall
remain so for the Term of this Agreement. For and in consideration of the
consulting services to be performed by Jones and the further covenants and
agreements made by him under this Agreement, the Company shall, for the Term
hereof, provided Jones is not in default under this Agreement:

(a)    pay to Jones from the beginning date of the Term of this Agreement
       through December 31, 2002 basic monthly compensation of $48,528 in
       semi-monthly installments;

       benefit plans to the same extent that coverage existed immediately before
       the date as of which this Agreement is made;

<PAGE>

(c)    reimburse Jones for not otherwise reimbursed reasonable and necessary
       travel and lodging expenses incurred in seeking other employment;

(d)    provide, at its expense, tax and financial counseling services up to, but
       not beyond, April 15, 2002 in accordance with the program applicable to
       executive officers of the Company;

(e)    continue to provide Jones the high-speed telephone line currently

       Term of this Agreement; and

(f)    use its best efforts to provide executive access for Jones and members of
       his immediate family, to the extent within the Company's control, to
       Disney World and Disneyland.

Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, neither Jones nor his dependents shall
be entitled to travel on Company aircraft, but may obtain interline travel
tickets through the Federal Express Corporation Corporate Travel department.
However, Jones shall be entitled to discount shipping privileges on the same
basis as provided to other employees until he attains age 55.

                SECTION 3. HEALTH INSURANCE, CERTAIN PERSONAL PROPERTY AND
BOARD SEAT RESIGNATIONS. The Company agrees to provide Jones and his
dependents health benefit coverage after the Term of this Agreement until
Jones attains age 55, on substantially the same basis as provided by the
Company to participants in its Retiree Group Health Plan as it then exists.
The Company may provide such coverage through the purchase of an insurance
policy or otherwise, as it shall determine in its sole and exclusive
discretion. In addition, the Company agrees that Jones may keep Company
computer equipment currently in his possession but Jones agrees to return to
the Company his identification badge at the end of the Term of this

further notice, his seats on the boards of directors of all Company
subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company (as defined in Section 13 of this
Agreement).

       SECTION 4. LTI AND MIC SETTLEMENT. Jones understands and
agrees that any claims he may have with respect to the Company's Long Term
Incentive ("LTI") Plans are settled by (i) any LTI payment due to him in his
current position in calendar year 2000 under the Company's FY1998-2000 LTI
Plan, and (ii) any amount payable under the FY1999-2001 LTI Plan to Executive
Vice Presidents of the Company, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is 27 and the denominator of which is 36, with the result multiplied by
the average percentage of Jones' achievement of his Management by Objectives
("MBO") goals for fiscal years 1998 through 2000. In addition, Jones shall be
entitled to (i) Management Incentive Compensation ("MIC") for fiscal year
2000 calculated by multiplying the number of points allocated to his position
by the percentage achievement of his MBO goals for such year, and (ii) the
MBO dollar point value, if any, for FY2001 established for Executive Vice
Presidents (assuming Jones achieved 100% of his MBO objectives for such
year), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is three and the
denominator of which is 12. Such FY2000 and FY2001 MIC and LTI settlements
shall be paid at the same time as MIC and LTI payments are made to other
participants in such programs. It is understood and agreed that Jones
shall receive no other LTI or MIC payments other than as specified in this
Section 3.

       SECTION 5. JONES'S SERVICES; ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DUTY OF LOYALTY. Jones

time during the Term of this Agreement by the Company's Chief Executive

providing comparable or better benefits, including life and other insurance,
medical, dental, disability, vision care and similar coverage as under the

dependents, heirs and beneficiaries, hereby waives any claims he or they may
have with respect to Company benefits to the extent covered by a successor
employer's benefit plan or plans.

laws and regulations, and (ii) such other amounts as are withheld from such
payments pursuant to Jones's authorization.

however, that no loans shall be made pursuant to the Company's Stock Option

      reason other than death, Disability, Retirement, or in connection with a
      Change in Control of Corporation, the Non-Employee Director will
      immediately and automatically forfeit all shares of Restricted Stock
      subject to the Award, the Restricted Stock will automatically revert to
      Corporation, and the Non-Employee Director will cease to have any rights
      as a stockholder with respect to such Restricted Stock.

      7.3 RIGHTS DURING RESTRICTION PERIOD. During the Restriction Period for
any Award of Restricted Stock, the Non-Employee Director will have (except as
expressly provided in Section 7.2) all the rights of a stockholder with respect
to the Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to exercise all
voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock and the right to receive cash
dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock. Stock dividends issued with
respect to Restricted Stock will be treated as additional shares of Restricted
Stock covered by the Award and will be subject to the same Restrictions.

      7.4 STOCK CERTIFICATES. Certificates for shares of Restricted Stock
subject to an Award will be issued in the Non-Employee Director's name and held
by Corporation, together with an executed counterpart of the Restricted Stock
Award Agreement and Stock Power, until the Restrictions lapse at the expiration
of the Restriction Period or until the Restricted Stock is forfeited as provided
in Section 7.2. During the Restriction Period, each certificate for shares of
Restricted Stock will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

      THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED AS RESTRICTED STOCK
      UNDER THE LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION 2000 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
      RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN (THE "PLAN") AND ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
      THEIR TRANSFER, DISPOSITION, OR ENCUMBRANCE SET FORTH IN THE PLAN. A COPY
      OF THE PLAN MAY BE OBTAINED FROM LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION.

<PAGE>

Certificates for shares of Restricted Stock may also bear any other restrictive
legends required by law or any other agreement.

                        ARTICLE 8--SETTLEMENT OF AWARDS

      8.1 SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD. Upon the Vesting of any Award of
Restricted Stock (due to expiration of the Restriction Period for that Award):

          (a) A stock certificate for the shares of Stock subject to the Award
      will be issued in the Non-Employee Director's name, without the legend
      described in Section 7.4, and the new certificate, together with the
      Restricted Stock Award Agreement and Stock Power previously held by
      Corporation, will be delivered to the Non-Employee Director, and

          (b) The Stock will no longer be subject to the Restrictions.

      8.2 TAX WITHHOLDING. As of the date the Plan was adopted, income
recognized by Non-Employee Directors with respect to Restricted Stock (upon
Vesting or in connection with making an election under Code Section 83(b)) is
treated as self-employment income that is not subject to tax withholding.
However, Corporation will have the right to withhold from any settlement of
Restricted Stock made under the Plan (or deemed settlement due to a Code Section
83(b) election) any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind subsequently
required by law to be withheld or paid by Corporation on behalf of Non-Employee
Director with respect to such settlement. In the event any such taxes are
imposed, each Non-Employee Director will be required to make arrangements
satisfactory to Corporation for the satisfaction of any such withholding tax
obligation. Corporation will not be required to deliver shares under the Plan
until any such obligation is satisfied.

      8.3 EFFECT OF TAX ELECTION. In the event any Non-Employee Director makes a
timely election under Code Section 83(b) with respect to any Award, the
Restricted Stock will be deemed (for income tax purposes) to be transferred to
the Non-Employee Director effective as of the Grant Date (and any obligation for
withholding tax liability imposed by subsequent changes in tax laws would be due
as of the Grant Date). However, such an election will not effect the
Restrictions or terminate the Restriction Period for such Award.

      8.4 DEFERRAL ELECTION. Any Non-Employee Director may, at any time prior to
the December 31 next preceding the end of the five-year period beginning on the
Grant Date for any Award, make an irrevocable election to receive a credit under
Corporation's Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferral
Plan") in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as of the date the Award
would otherwise have become Vested) of the number of shares of Restricted Stock
covered by the Award. The deferral election must be in writing and in such form
as the Committee prescribes for this purpose. If such a deferral election is
made with respect to an Award, the Restricted Stock subject to the Award will
remain subject to the Restrictions through the expiration of the Restriction
Period. However, as of the expiration of the

<PAGE>

Restriction Period, the certificate for the Restricted Stock described in
Section 7.4 will be cancelled and the Non-Employee Director will receive a
credit in his or her Account under the Deferral Plan equal to the Fair Market
Value (as of the Vesting date) of the Restricted Stock. The Non-Employee
Director will have no further rights under this Plan with respect to such Award
and the Account will be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Deferral
Plan.

          ARTICLE 9--ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, ETC.

      9.1 PLAN DOES NOT RESTRICT CORPORATION. The existence of the Plan and the
Awards granted under the Plan do not affect or restrict in any way the right or
power of the Board or the stockholders of Corporation to make or authorize any
adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or other change in Corporation's
capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of Corporation,
any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or
affecting Corporation's capital stock or the rights of such stock, the
dissolution or liquidation of Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any
part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

      9.2 ADJUSTMENTS BY THE COMMITTEE. In the event of any change in
capitalization affecting the Stock of Corporation, such as a stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or
exchange of shares or other form of reorganization, or any other change
affecting the Stock, the Committee will make proportionate adjustments with
respect to the aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Awards may be
granted under the Plan and the number of shares of Stock covered by each
outstanding Award. The Committee may also make similar adjustments in the number
of shares of Stock covered by outstanding Awards in the event of a spin-off or
other distribution (other than normal cash dividends), of Corporation assets to
stockholders.

                    AMENDMENT 10--AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

      The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or any portion of the
Plan at any time, provided that no amendment may be made without shareholder
approval if such approval is required by applicable law or the applicable
requirements of a stock exchange or over-the-counter stock trading system.
Amendment or termination of the Plan will not affect previously granted Awards.

                           ARTICLE 11--MISCELLANEOUS

      11.1 UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan will be unfunded and Corporation will not be
required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards
under the Plan. Any liability of Corporation to any Non-Employee Director with
respect to any Award under the Plan will be based solely upon the contractual
obligations effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of Corporation
will be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any
property of Corporation.

<PAGE>

      11.2 SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. No shares of Stock may be issued under
the Plan unless counsel for Corporation is satisfied that such issuance will be
in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates
for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan may be subject to such
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable
under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and
any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend
or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to
such restrictions (in addition to the legend described in Section 7.4).

      11.3 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. Corporation will use its best efforts to obtain
approval of the Plan and all Awards by any state or federal agency or authority
that Corporation determines has jurisdiction. If Corporation determines that any
required approval cannot be obtained, each Award will terminate on notice to the
Non-Employee Director to that effect. Without limiting the foregoing,
Corporation will not be required to issue any certificates for all or any
portion of the Restricted Stock until Corporation has taken any action required
to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

      11.4 SUCCESSORSHIP. Subject to restrictions on transferability set forth
in the Plan, each Restricted Stock Award under the Plan will be binding upon and
benefit the parties, their successors and assigns.

      11.5 GOVERNING LAW. Except with respect to references to the Code or
federal securities laws, the Plan and all actions taken thereunder will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Oregon.
