         This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 22, 2002 (as amended, the "Schedule TO") by
Temple-Inland Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Purchaser"), and Temple-Inland Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"),
relating to the offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Class A Common
Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Gaylord
Container Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), including
the associated rights to purchase preferred stock issued pursuant to the
Rights Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) (the "Rights" and,
together with the Common Stock, the "Shares"), at a price of $1.17 per
Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated January
22, 2002 (as amended and supplemented, the "Offer to Purchase"), a copy of
which is attached to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1), and
in the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended and supplemented, the
"Letter of Transmittal," a copy of which is attached to and filed with the
Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(2), which, together with the Offer to Purchase,
collectively constitute the "Offer"). The Offer is made pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 21, 2002 (the "Merger
Agreement"), among the Parent, the Purchaser and the Company, which
contemplates the merger (the "Merger") of the Purchaser with and into the
Company. Any capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Offer to Purchase.

Item 1.    Summary Term Sheet,

Item 4.    Terms of the Transaction, and

Item 11.   Additional Information.

         Items 1, 4 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and
supplemented to add the following thereto:

         On February 13, 2002, Parent, the Purchaser, Trustees and the
Company filed papers in opposition to the Motion for a Temporary
Restraining Order filed by the plaintiffs on February 6, 2002. On February
15, 2002, plaintiffs filed reply papers in support of their Motion for a
Temporary Restraining Order. On that same date, at a hearing on the Motion
for a Temporary Restraining Order, the court heard arguments from the
parties to the Litigation but delayed ruling on the motion until February
19, 2002.
