SIZE=2><I>Purpose of the Plan</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. The purpose of the Boise Cascade Corporation Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan is to provide those
executive officers who participate in the Plan with an insured death benefit during employment and after retirement. Executive officers who become a Participant may purchase an ordinary life insurance
policy from a designated insurance carrier. Payment of policy premiums will be shared by Boise Cascade Corporation ("the Company"), as described herein. </FONT></P>

to December&nbsp;1, 1987, the Company designated all executive officers eligible to participate in the Plan. Beginning December&nbsp;1, 1987, the Company intends to continue
the Plan in effect as hereafter restated. Eligibility for participation will not be made available to newly elected executive officers. </FONT></P>

(ii)&nbsp;Waiver of Premium shall be the amount of premium for the waiver of premium on disability benefit, if available, determined in accordance with the Insurance Carrier's published rate
schedule; and (iii)&nbsp;any Extra Premium for an insurance risk, as determined by the Insurance Carrier. </FONT></P>

Payment Schedule or Trustee's Payment Schedule attached hereto, shall be payable to the Company to be applied in accordance with Subsection 2.4(b). </FONT></P>

however, that no Insurance Policy may be purchased on or after December&nbsp;1, 1987, and provided, further, that no increase shall take place after a Participant reaches age 60. Since participation

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;File
suit in a federal court if any materials requested are not received within 30&nbsp;days of the Participant's request, unless the materials were not sent because
of matters beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. The court may require the Plan Administrator to pay up to $100 for each day's delay until the materials are received. </FONT></P>

</UL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition to creating rights for Participants, ERISA imposes obligations upon the persons who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. As "fiduciaries," these persons must act
solely in the interest of the Participants, and they must exercise prudence in the performance of their Plan duties. Fiduciaries who violate ERISA may be removed and required to make good any losses
they have caused the Plan. The Company may not fire, discriminate against, or prevent a Participant from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising his or her rights under ERISA. If a Participant is
improperly denied a welfare benefit in full or in part, he or she has a right to file suit in a federal or state court. If Plan fiduciaries are misusing the Plan's money, a Participant has a right to
file suit in a federal court or request assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor. If a Participant is successful in the lawsuit, the court may, if it so decides, require the other party to pay his
or her legal costs, including attorneys' fees. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a Participant has any questions about the foregoing or his or her rights under ERISA, the Participant should contact the Plan Administrator or the nearest area office of the U.S.
