Attention: 
Mr. Kenneth H. Globus, Esq., President

Gentlemen:

This letter agreement, when accepted and agreed to by United-Guardian, Inc.
(“UGI”) and ISP Technologies Inc. (“ISP”), shall constitute an amendment to the
Exclusive Distributor Agreement between UGI and ISP dated July 5, 2000, as
amended December 16, 2002 and December 20, 2005, pursuant to which ISP acts as
UGI’s (i) exclusive distributor in certain markets and territories and (ii)
non-exclusive distributor for certain other markets and territories, for certain
of UGI’s specialty chemical products (collectively, the “Agreement”), as more
particularly set forth therein.

In consideration of the premises set forth herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, UGI and ISP hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows.

1.           Section 3.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
the following substituted:

3.1           The initial term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
commenced as of January 1, 2000 and shall continue through and including
December 31, 2011, and indefinitely thereafter for successive two (2) year
renewal terms unless earlier terminated as provided herein or terminated by
either party by written notice given at least sixty (60) days prior to the end
of said initial term or any renewal term.

It is understood and agreed the terms “entire term” (Section 2.1) and “term”
(Sections 4.2, 6.5 and 14.1) encompass both the initial and any renewal terms of
this Agreement.
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
2.           Section 3.2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

3.           Section 3.4(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
phrase “and the purchase targets set forth in Section 3.2 above, shall be
reduced by the parties to reflect such transfer or sale”.

4.           Section 4.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety
and the following substituted:

(a)           UGI shall have the right to increase the price of a PRODUCT in any
calendar year but such increase shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the price
last in effect hereunder for that PRODUCT at the end of the previous calendar
year.  The parties will discuss in advance and take into consideration market
conditions prior to the time any price increase is scheduled to take effect, but
this will not affect UGI’s unilateral right to implement the price increase
specified herein.  This Section 4.1(a) is subject to any additional price
increases that may be implemented by UGI in accordance with Section 4.1(b).  In
the event UGI does implement a price increase for any PRODUCT it shall give ISP
at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of the same.  All prices are FOB
Hauppauge, New York.

5.           Article XIX of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the last
sentence thereof.

This amendment shall be deemed retroactively effective as of December 31, 2008.

Except as specifically amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.
