       provided, however, that (A) none of the actions described in clauses (i)
       through (iii) above shall constitute a Good Reason with respect to any

       amount of total compensation of such Participant for purposes of clause
       (iii) above or the aggregate value or level of any of such Participant's
       benefits for purposes of clause (iv) or (v) above, the Company and such

       firm shall be instructed to make its determination as soon as practicable
       and to use such materiality standard as such firm may determine to be
       reasonable under the circumstances and (y) the disputants shall provide
       such firm with all books, records and other information relevant to such
       dispute as such firm may reasonably request. No firm engaged as aforesaid
       shall be liable or responsible to the Company or any Participant for any
       determination made by such firm in good faith.

contemplated by clause (iii) above becomes payable solely as a result of the
occurrence of the Liquidation Date, the amount payable to each Participant under

position previously held by such former Participant (a "Successor"), such
Successor shall be deemed to be a Participant hereunder and shall thereafter be
entitled to



                                      -6-
<PAGE>

receive, on the same terms and conditions as such former Participant, any
payments under this Plan that would have thereafter been made to such former
Participant had such former Participant continued to be eligible to receive
further payments under this Plan; provided, however, that (A) in no event shall
the aggregate amount paid to such former Participant and such Successor (or
Successors) exceed the aggregate amount that would have been paid to such former
Participant had such former Participant continued to be eligible to receive
further payments under this Plan throughout the entire term of this Plan and (B)
nothing contained in this paragraph (d) is intended to impose any obligation on
any former Participant to return any amounts paid such former Participant under
this Plan.

              Section 3. Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided in
paragraph (c) below, in the event that any dispute or controversy shall arise
between any Participant (or any person claiming by, through or under any
Participant) and the Company relating to or arising out of this Plan, either
disputant may give written notice to the other disputant ("Dispute Notice") that
it wishes to resolve such dispute or controversy by negotiations, in which event
the disputants shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such
dispute or controversy. If such dispute or controversy is not resolved within 30
days after receipt of such Dispute Notice by the other disputant, either
disputant may (except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) below) initiate
arbitration of the matter as provided in paragraph (b) below. All negotiations
pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be held at the Company's principal offices
in Houston, Texas (or such other place as the disputants shall mutually agree)
and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for the purposes
of the federal and state rules of evidence and procedure.

              (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) below, any
dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Plan which has not
been resolved by negotiations in accordance with paragraph (a) above within 30
days of receipt of the relevant Dispute Notice by the other disputant, shall,
upon the written request of either disputant, be finally settled by arbitration
conducted expeditiously in accordance with the labor arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be not empowered to award
damages in excess of compensatory damages and each disputant shall be deemed to
have irrevocably waived any damages in excess of compensatory damages. The
arbitrator's decision shall be final and legally binding on the disputants and
their successors and assigns. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be
borne solely by the prevailing disputant or, in the event there is no clear
prevailing disputant, as the arbitrator deems appropriate. All arbitration
conferences and hearings shall be held in Houston, Texas.

              (c) The dispute resolution procedures set forth in paragraphs (a)
and (b) above shall not apply to any matter which, by the express provisions of
this Plan, is to be finally determined by the Holdings Board or by an accounting
firm or employee benefits firm. No legal action may be brought with respect to
this Plan except for the purpose of specifically enforcing the provisions of
this Section 3 or for the purpose of enforcing any arbitration award made
pursuant to paragraph (b) above.

              Section 4. Cumulative Benefits. The rights and benefits provided
to any Participant under this Plan are cumulative of, and are in addition to,
all of the other rights and benefits



                                      -7-
<PAGE>

provided to such Participant under any Benefit Plan or any agreement between
such Participant and the Company.

              Section 5. Amendment and Termination. The Holdings Board and the
Chemicals Board may amend this Plan at any time and for any reason; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall be or become effective with respect to, or
binding upon, any person who at the time of such amendment is a Participant
hereunder if such amendment adversely affects the rights or benefits of, or the
obligations of the Company hereunder to, such Participant unless such
Participant consents otherwise in writing. Notwithstanding any termination or
amendment of this Plan, the benefits payable hereunder to each Participant shall
be paid in full. In case of any dispute regarding whether or not any purported
amendment or termination of this Plan is permitted by, or satisfies any of the
requirements of, this Section 5, the burden of proof shall rest with the
Company.

              Section 6. Enforceability. The provisions of this Plan (a) are for
the benefit of, and may be enforced directly by, each Participant the same as if
the provisions of this Plan were set forth in their entirety in a written
instrument executed and delivered by the Company and such Participant and (b)
constitute a continuing offer to all present and future Participants. Holdings
and Chemicals, by their adoption of this Plan, (i) acknowledge and agree that
each present and future Participant has relied upon and will continue to rely
upon the provisions of this Plan in becoming, and serving as, an employee of the
Company, (ii) waive reliance upon, and all notices of acceptance of, this Plan
by the Participants and (iii) acknowledge and agree that no present or future
Participant shall be prejudiced in his or her right to enforce directly the
provisions of this Plan in accordance with the terms by any act or failure to
act on the part of the Company.

              Section 7. Administration. (a) The Holdings Board shall have full
and final authority to make determinations with respect to the administration of
this Plan, to construe and interpret its provisions and to take all other
actions deemed necessary or advisable for the proper administration of this
Plan, but such authority shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan;
provided, however, that (i) the Holdings Board shall have no authority to change
or modify the level of benefits provided for Participants under this Plan and
(ii) no discretionary action by the Holdings Board shall amend or supersede the
express provisions of this Plan.

              (b) The members of the Holdings Board shall receive no additional
compensation for their services relating to this Plan. Any expenses properly
incurred by the Holdings Board incident to this Plan, including the cost of any
bond required by applicable law, shall be paid by the Company.

              (c) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of
the Holdings Board against any and all expenses and liabilities arising out of
his or her administrative functions and other responsibilities, including any
expenses and liabilities that are caused by or result from an act or omission
constituting the negligence of such member in the performance of such functions
or responsibilities, but excluding expenses and liabilities that are caused by
or result from such member's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Expenses against which such member shall be indemnified hereunder shall include
the amounts of any settlement or

judgment, costs, counsel fees and related charges reasonably incurred in
connection with a claim asserted or a proceeding brought or settlement thereof.

              Section 8. Assignability. The Company shall have the right to
assign this Plan and to delegate its duties and obligations hereunder, but not
otherwise; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve or discharge
the Company of or from any of its obligations under this Plan. Unless otherwise
approved by the Holdings Board, no Participant shall transfer or assign any of
his or her rights under this Plan except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

              Section 9. Consolidations, Mergers, etc. Each of Holdings and
Chemicals will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of its business,
operations or assets to expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan in
writing, in the same manner and to the same extent that Holdings or Chemicals,
as the case may be, would be required to perform hereunder if no such succession
had taken place.

              Section 10. Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.
This Plan and all rights of each Participant shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by such Participant and his or her personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. If any
Participant should die while any amounts are due and payable to such Participant
hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Plan to such Participant's devisees, legatees
or other designees or, if there be no such devisees, legatees or other
designees, to such Participant's estate.

              Section 11. Notices. All notices and other communications provided
for in this Plan shall be in writing and shall be sent, delivered or mailed,
addressed as follows: (a) if to Holdings, Chemicals or any other Subsidiary, at
Holdings' principal office address or such other address as Holdings may have
designated by written notice to all Participants for purposes hereof, directed
to the attention of the Treasurer, and (b) if to any Participant, at his or her
residence address on the records of Holdings or to such other address as he or
she may have designated to Holdings in writing for purposes hereof. Each such
notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given on the
date it is mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid (or any substantial equivalent mail delivery of any foreign
country, if applicable), except that any change of notice address shall be
effective only upon receipt.

              Section 12. Tax Withholdings. The Company shall have the right to
deduct from any payment hereunder all taxes (federal, state or other) which it
is required to be withhold therefrom.

              Section 13. No Employment Rights Conferred. Nothing contained in
this Plan shall (a) confer upon any Participant any right with respect to
continuation of employment with the Company or (b) subject to the rights and
benefits of any Participant hereunder, interfere in any way with the right of
the Company to terminate such Participant's employment at any time.

              Section 14. Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and any other applicable law.

              Section 15. Bonus Arrangement. The Plan is intended to be a bonus
program that is designed to provide a pecuniary incentive for eligible employees
(a) to remain in employment by the Company and (b) to produce their best efforts
during the continuance of the Company's bankruptcy proceedings. The Plan is not
intended to provide retirement income or to defer the receipt of payments
hereunder to the termination of a Participant's covered employment or beyond.
The Plan is strictly an incentive bonus program (as described in U.S. Department
of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-2(c) or any successor thereto), and not a
pension or welfare benefit plan that is subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. All interpretations and determinations
hereunder shall be made on a basis consistent with the Plan's status as a bonus
program.

              IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and as conclusive evidence of the adoption of
this Plan by the Holdings Board and the Chemicals Board, Holdings and Chemicals
have each caused this Plan to be duly executed in its name and behalf by its
proper officer thereunto duly authorized, effective as of the Effective Date.
