BY-LAWS
OF
USG CORPORATION
ARTICLE I
OFFICES
The registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware shall be
in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The corporation may have such
other offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the business
of the corporation may require from time to time.
ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS
ANNUAL MEETING
Section 1. The dates and times of the annual meetings of stockholders
shall be determined by or under the authority of the board of directors as
permitted by law for the purpose of electing directors and the transaction of
such other business as may properly come before the meeting. If the election of
directors shall not be held on the date designated for any such annual meeting
or at any adjournment thereof, the board of directors shall cause the election
to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as the
board of directors determines to be reasonably practicable.
SPECIAL MEETINGS
Section 2. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time
by the chair of the board of directors or, if there shall be none then in
office, the chief executive officer of the corporation or by the corporate
secretary upon a request in writing of a majority of the number of directors as
determined from time to time by the board of directors under Section 2(b) of
Article III of these by-laws (the "whole board"). Any such request shall state
the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.
PLACE AND TIME OF MEETINGS
Section 3. Meetings of the stockholders for any purpose may be held at
such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be
determined by the board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board
of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that meetings of
stockholders will not be held at any place, but will instead be held by means of
remote communication, subject to such guidelines and procedures as the board of
directors may adopt from time to time. The board of directors may postpone and
reschedule any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders.

NOTICE OF MEETINGS
Section 4. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting,
the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxies may
be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and in the case of a
special meeting the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall
be given by mail or electronically to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat
not less than ten days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.
Such notice, when mailed, shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the
United States mail in a sealed envelope addressed to the stockholder at such
stockholder's address as it appears in the records of the corporation, with
postage prepaid; if sent electronically, such notice shall be deemed given when
dispatched electronically to the email address of such stockholder it provided
to the corporation.
QUORUM, VOTE AND PROCEDURES
Section 5. (a) Except as may be otherwise provided in resolutions of the
board of directors providing for the issuance of any class or series of
preferred stock (a "preferred stock designation"), the holders of a majority of
the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person
or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the
stockholders for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not
be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have
power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At
such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally scheduled.
(b) When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders
of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented
by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter and which is actually so
voted shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question
is one upon which by express provision of the certificate of incorporation, a
preferred stock designation, these by-laws, law or stock exchange requirements a
different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern
and control the decision of such question.
ORGANIZATION OF MEETING
Section 6. The chair of the board of directors, or such other officer of
the corporation designated by a majority of the whole board, shall call meetings
of the stockholders to order and shall act as presiding officer thereof. Unless
otherwise determined prior to the meeting by a majority of the whole board, the
presiding officer of the meeting of stockholders shall have the right and the
authority to determine and maintain the rules, regulations and procedures for
what the presiding officer determines to be the proper conduct of the meeting,
including without limitation restricting entry to the meeting after it has
commenced, maintaining order and the safety of those in attendance, opening and
closing the polls for voting, dismissing business or proposals not properly
submitted, limiting the time allowed for discussion of the business of the
meeting, restricting the persons (other than stockholders of the corporation or
their duly

appointed proxies) that may attend the meeting and ascertaining whether any
stockholder or proxy may be excluded from the meeting based upon any
determination by the presiding officer, in his or her sole discretion, that the
stockholder or proxy has disrupted or is likely to disrupt the meeting. The
corporate secretary or such other officer designated by the presiding officer of
the meeting shall act as secretary of the meeting of stockholders.
