<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not permit indemnification in any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses, which such court shall deem proper. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by such person. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully defended. The DGCL also allows a corporation to provide for the elimination or limit of the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director: </FONT></P>

that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

successor form to such forms and other than pursuant to Section&nbsp;2.1 or
2.3) whether or not pursuant to registration rights granted to other holders of
its securities and whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company
shall deliver prompt written notice (which notice shall be given at least 30
days prior to such proposed registration) to all Holders of Registrable
Securities of its intention to undertake such registration, describing in
reasonable detail the proposed registration and distribution (including the
anticipated range of the proposed offering price, the class and number of
securities proposed to be registered and the distribution arrangements) and of
such Holders&#146; right to participate in such registration under this
Section&nbsp;2.2 as hereinafter provided.&#160;
Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (a) and
Section&nbsp;2.2(b), upon the written request of any Holder made within 20 days
after the receipt of such written notice (which request shall specify the
amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of
disposition thereof), the Company shall effect the registration under the
Securities Act of all Registrable Securities requested by Holders to be so
registered (an &#147;<u>Incidental Registration</u>&#148;), to the extent requisite to
permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as
aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of
such Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement which covers the
securities which the Company proposes to register and shall cause such Registration
Statement to become and remain effective with respect to such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the registration procedures set forth in
Section&nbsp;4. If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten
Offering, immediately upon notification to the Company from the Underwriter of
the price at which such securities are to be sold, the Company shall so advise
each participating Holder. The Holders requesting inclusion in an Incidental
Registration may, at any time prior to the effective date of the Incidental
Registration Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request by delivering
written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion.</p>

thereby discharge or release the account debtor, any secondary obligors or
other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations,
(iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivables or such other
obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Administrative and Collateral
Agent shall not be liable for its failure to collect or enforce the payment
thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto

(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure such Person against
risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to such
Person a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or

deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in
this Section.&#160; Without limitation of the

for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement as the law of such
jurisdiction may require or allow. Each party thereto shall bear its own costs
incurred in any such arbitration, including legal fees and expenses.</p>

arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to Executive&#146;s employment
by the Company or the termination of such employment to the extent required
(including, but not limited to, any claims of breach of contract, wrongful
termination or age, sex, race or other discrimination); provided that the
Company shall have the right to, and be permitted to, seek and obtain
injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to
Section&nbsp;14 above in the state or federal courts located in the State of
New York. Any such arbitration shall be fully and finally resolved in binding
arbitration in a proceeding in the State of New York, in accordance with the
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American
Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall not
have the authority to modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement,
except as provided in Section&nbsp;25 hereof. The arbitrator&#146;s award shall be
final and binding upon the parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered
in any court of competent jurisdiction in any state of the United States or
country or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of
the award and an enforcement as the law of such jurisdiction may require or
allow. Each party thereto shall bear its own costs incurred in any such
arbitration, including legal fees and expenses.</p>

The Company and Executive agree to arbitrate any controversy or claim
arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to Executive&#146;s employment
by the Company or the termination of such employment to the extent required
(including, but not limited to, any claims of breach of contract, wrongful termination
or age, sex, race or other discrimination); provided that the Company shall
have the right to, and be permitted to, seek and obtain injunctive relief from
a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section&nbsp;14 above in the
state or federal courts located in the State of New York. Any such arbitration
shall be fully and finally resolved in binding arbitration in a proceeding in
the State of New York, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution
of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association before a single
arbitrator. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify or change any
of the terms of this Agreement, except as provided in Section&nbsp;25 hereof.
The arbitrator&#146;s award shall be final and binding upon the parties, and
judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction
in any state of the United States or country or application may be made to such
court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement as the law of
such jurisdiction may require or allow. Each party thereto shall bear its own
costs incurred in any such arbitration, including legal fees and expenses.</p>

any of the covenants in Sections 11 through 13, or any part of any of them, is
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such covenants and parts thereof
shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to
the invalid portion. If any court or arbitrator determines that any of such
covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable because of the
geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such court or arbitrator shall
reduce such scope to the minimum extent necessary to make such covenants valid
and enforceable.</p>

FORM OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This Indemnification
Agreement (&#147;Agreement&#148;) is made as of this &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; day of
___________ 2004, by and between BlueLinx Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the &#147;Company&#148;), and
[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]
(&#147;Indemnitee&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS, the Company desires
to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as
Indemnitee, to serve as officers and directors of the Company and to indemnify
its officers and directors so as to provide them with the maximum protection
permitted by law;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS, the Company and
Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty in obtaining directors&#146; and
officers&#146; liability insurance, the significant increases in the cost of such
insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS, the Company and
Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation
in general, subjecting officers and directors to expensive litigation risks at the
same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been
severely limited;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS, it is reasonable,
prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to
indemnify its directors and certain of its officers to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the
Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is
willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on
behalf of the Company on the condition that he or she be so indemnified.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein,
the Company and the Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:</font></p>

party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was, (1) a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company,
(2) named in a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), as a person who is about to

as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,

shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good

by or in the Right of the Company</u>.&#160;
Subject to Section 1(c), the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if
Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was, (1) a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, (2) named
in a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act as a
person who is about to become a director of the Company, or (3) serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless
and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.</font></h2>

<h2 style="font-weight:normal;margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:1.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(c)&#160;&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <u>Authorization</u>.&#160; Any indemnification under this Agreement
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in
the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitee
is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 (a) or (b).&#160; Such determination shall be made (a) by a
majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (b) by a committee of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than
a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or, if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) by the stockholders.&#160; To the extent, however, that Indemnitee has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith,
without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.</font></h2>

a condition precedent to his or her right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as reasonably practicable
of any claim made or threatened to be made against Indemnitee for which
indemnification is or will be sought under this Agreement.&#160; Notice to the Company shall be directed to
the Company at the address shown in Section 11 of this Agreement (or such
address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee).&#160; In addition, Indemnitee shall give the
Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as
shall be within Indemnitee&#146;s power.</font></h2>

paid in full by the Company within ninety (90) days after a written claim has
been received by the Company, or a claim under Section 2(a) hereof for an
advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Company within thirty (30)
days after a written claim has been received by the Company, Indemnitee may at
any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount
of the claim.&#160; If successful in whole or
in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an
advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 2(a), Indemnitee shall also be
entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit,
including any reasonable attorneys&#146; fees.&#160;
In any suit by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses
pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company shall be entitled to recover such
expenses, upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right
to appeal that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which makes it
permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for
the amounts claimed.&#160; Neither the
failure of the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal
counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement
of such suit that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because Indemnitee has met the standards of conduct which makes it permissible
under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amounts
claimed, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of
directors, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that Indemnitee has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of
such a suit brought by Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.&#160; In any suit brought by Indemnitee to enforce
a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses pursuant to Section
2(a) hereunder, or by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses
pursuant to Section 2(a), the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Agreement or
otherwise shall be on the Company.</font></h2>

receipt of a notice of an actual or threatened claim pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the
Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in its policies.&#160; The Company shall thereafter take all

the same presently exists or may hereafter be amended (but, if permitted by
applicable law, in the case of any amendment, only to the extent that such
amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than
permitted prior to such amendment) or any other applicable law as presently or

any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a
Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors, an

required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall
