$150,000,000 Private Shelf Facility 
 August 28, 2009 
 To Each of the Purchasers Listed in 

Schedule A Hereto (each a “Series A Purchaser”) 
 TO PRUDENTIAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. (“Prudential”) 

TO EACH OTHER PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE WHICH BECOMES

 BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AS
HEREINAFTER 
 PROVIDED (TOGETHER WITH THE
SERIES A PURCHASERS, EACH, 
 a “Purchaser” and
collectively, the “Purchasers”): 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), agrees with Prudential and each of the Purchasers as
follows: 
 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES. 
 1.1. Authorization of Issue of Series A Notes. The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.70% Series A Senior Notes due August 28, 2016
(the “Series A Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13). The Series A Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1-A. 

1.2. Authorization of Issue of Shelf Notes. The Company may authorize the issue of its additional senior promissory notes (the
“Shelf Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution thereof pursuant to Section 13) in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the case of each
Shelf Note so issued, no more than ten years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than seven years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on
the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum specified in such Note, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect
to such Note delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(e), to be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1-B attached hereto. 

1.3. Interpretation. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; and references to a
“Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement. The terms “Note” and “Notes” as used herein shall include each Series A Note and each Shelf
Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such 







 
Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a
percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall
be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes. 
 2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES. 
 2.1. Sale and Purchase of Series A
Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Series A Purchaser and each such Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3.1, Series A Notes in
the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser
shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder. 
 2.2. Sale and Purchase of Shelf Notes. 
 (a)
Facility. Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of
Prudential to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility”. At any time, the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in Section 1.2, minus the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes
purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, is herein called the
“Available Facility Amount” at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES BY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER
PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED
AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE. 
 (b) Issuance Period. Shelf Notes may be
issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or if such anniversary date is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the
thirtieth day after Prudential shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential, a written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth
day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period”. 

  
 -2-









 (c) Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during
the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to Prudential either electronically, by facsimile transmission
or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for
Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than ten years from the date of issuance), average life (which shall be no more than seven years from the date of issuance), principal prepayment
dates and amounts and interest payment periods (quarterly or semi-annually in arrears) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes (which may not be used for funding a Hostile Tender Offer),
(iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 10 days and not more than 20 days after the making of such Request for Purchase,
(v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that the
representations and warranties contained in Section 5 (as qualified by any supplemental disclosure included in an exhibit to such Request for Purchase) are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the
date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (vii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing signed by the Company and shall be deemed made when
received by Prudential. 
 (d) Rate Quotes. Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have
given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to Section 2.2(c), Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone or telecopier, in each case between 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. New York City local time
(or such later time as Prudential may elect) interest rate quotes for the principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase (each such interest rate
quote provided in response to a Request for Purchase herein called a “Quotation”). Each Quotation shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which Prudential or a
Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof. 

(e) Acceptance. Within the Acceptance Window, an Authorized Officer of the Company may, subject to
Section 2.2(f), elect to accept on behalf of the Company a Quotation as to the aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase, either by telephone or facsimile transmission to Prudential (each such
Shelf Note being herein called an “Accepted Note” and such acceptance being herein called an “Acceptance”). The day the Company notifies Prudential of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein
called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Notes. Any Quotation as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based
on any such expired Quotation. Subject to Section 

  
 -3-









 
2.2(f) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to a Prudential Affiliate, and Prudential agrees to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted
Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, Prudential and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such
Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 attached hereto (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If the Company should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days following the
Company’s receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential may at its election at any time prior to Prudential’s receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so
notifying the Company in writing. 
 (f) Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.2(e), any Quotation provided pursuant to Section 2.2(d) shall expire if, prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such Quotation shall have been notified to Prudential in accordance with Section 2.2(e), in the case of
any Shelf Notes, the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York
Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives. No purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired Quotation. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any
such Quotation, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this Section 2.2(f) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance. 

(g) Fees. 
 (i) Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to each
Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale, an amount (herein called the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) calculated as follows: 

(BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA 
 where “BEY” means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note; “MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield
per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential on the date Prudential receives notice of the delay in the closing for such Accepted Note having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the
Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days for such Accepted Note (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing is delayed); “DTS” means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of
actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in


  
 -4-









 
the case of any subsequent Delayed Delivery Fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means Principal Amount,
i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. 
 In no case shall the Delayed
Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with
Section 3.3. If all conditions to Closing set forth in Section 4 hereof have been satisfied on the original Closing Day for any Accepted Notes (other than (x) Section 4.4(d) unless the Company shall have failed to comply with any
reasonable request of the Purchasers or their special counsel to provide information necessary for the Purchasers’ special counsel to deliver the opinion required by such clause (d) and (y) Section 4.5 unless the Company shall
have failed to comply with the request of any Purchaser pursuant to the last sentence of such Section) and a Purchaser fails to purchase such Accepted Notes, the Company shall have no obligation to pay the Delayed Delivery Fee with respect to such
Accepted Notes. 
 (ii) Cancellation Fee. If (1) the Company at any time notifies Prudential in
writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, (2) Prudential notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.2(e) or the penultimate
sentence of Section 3.3 that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or (3) the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance
Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the “Cancellation Date”), the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such
Accepted Note no later than one Business Day after the Cancellation Date in immediately available funds an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) calculated as follows: 

PI X PA 
 where
“PI” means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess, if any, of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date
over the bid price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2.2(g)(i). The
foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported on TradeWeb LLC, or if such information ceases to be available on TradeWeb LLC, any publicly available source of such market data selected by Prudential, and rounded to the second decimal place.

 In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero. In the case of Section 2.2(g)(ii)(3) only, the Company shall not
be required to pay the Cancellation Fee

election, at any time after 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may

 -9-









 
including the Schedules related thereto, pursuant to a Request for Purchase; provided that no such supplement to any representation or warranty applicable to any particular Closing Day shall

represents and warrants to each Purchaser that: 
 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. 

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and, where legally applicable, in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or
in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under
lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof. 
 5.2. Authorization, Etc. 
 This Agreement and the Notes have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and
(ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 5.3. Disclosure. 
 This Agreement and the documents, certificates or other
writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding information specifically identified as being from a third party source which the Company has no reason to believe
is inaccurate) and the financial statements described in Section 5.5 (this Agreement and such documents, certificates or other writings, and financial statements delivered to each Purchaser prior to the applicable Closing Day being referred to,
collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the
time. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since the end of the most recent fiscal year for which audited financial statements have been furnished there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of
the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that would reasonably be expected to


  
 -10-









 
have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents. For the purposes of this Section 5.3, the Disclosure Documents shall be deemed to include
all filings made with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company pursuant to sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and the Company shall be deemed to have made delivery of any such Disclosure Document if it shall
have timely made such Disclosure Document available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis, and Retrieval system, or its successor thereto (“EDGAR”). 

5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. 

(a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of the Company’s Subsidiaries,
showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its Capital Stock outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the
Company. 
 (b) All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary have been validly issued, are,
where legally applicable, fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company, another Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4 or permitted by Section 10.5).

 (c) Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, where legally
applicable: (i) is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and (iii) is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such
Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority, in all material respects, to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact. 

(d) No Material Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction
(other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and limitations imposed by corporate law or other statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of
profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of the quarterly period (if any) most recently completed prior to such date and after
the end of such fiscal year (other than quarterly periods completed within 45 days prior to such date for which financial statements have not been released), consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the periods from the beginning of the
fiscal years in which such quarterly periods are included to the end of such quarterly periods, a consolidated statement of income for such quarterly period, and consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and cash flows for the corresponding
period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, prepared by the Company. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material
respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated and have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). The Company and its Subsidiaries do not
have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents. Delivery within the time periods specified above of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly

of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or
by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of
any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or (c) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or
regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary, except for any such contravention, breach, default, creation of a Lien, conflict or violation described in any of clauses (a), (b) and (c) above which,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 -12-

No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Notes.

Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. 
 (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any
Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any

individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.9. Taxes.

 The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and
have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before
they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate in accordance with GAAP. The Federal
income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined (by reason of the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, except to the extent of net operating losses and credits

(b) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, to the best knowledge of the
Company, no product of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any
other Person. 
 (c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, to the
best knowledge of the Company, there is no violation by any Person of any right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 5.12. Compliance with ERISA. 

(a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws
except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA
or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of

excise tax provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material. 

(b) The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not,
as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


  
 -14-









 (c) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal
liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material. 

(d) The expected post-retirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Company’s most recently
ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not
Material or has otherwise been disclosed in the most recent audited financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 (e) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in
connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. The representation by the Company to each Purchaser in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to

 Prior to the date hereof, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise
approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than the Purchasers and other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf
has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any securities or blue sky laws of any
applicable jurisdiction. 
 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 

The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Series A Notes to refinance existing Indebtedness and for general corporate
purposes and will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Shelf Notes as set forth in the applicable Request for Purchase. None of the proceeds of the sale of any Notes will be used to finance a Hostile Tender Offer. No part of the proceeds from the
sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose
of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR
220). Margin stock does not constitute more than 5% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 5% of the value of such
assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness which does not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate and any surety, guaranty or other similar arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business and not in respect of any borrowed money Indebtedness) as
of June 30, 2009 (including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any) since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest
rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of such Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal
or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary in an unpaid amount in excess of $1,000,000 in each instance or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary in an unpaid amount in excess of $1,000,000 in each instance or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due
and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. 
 (b) Except as
disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither the Company nor any Material Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to
be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.5.

Act of 1995, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended.

times and as often as may be requested. 
 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES. 

8.1. Required Prepayments; Maturity. 
 (a) Series A Notes. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Series A Notes shall be due and payable on the stated maturity date thereof. 

(b) Shelf Notes. Each Series of Shelf Notes shall be subject to required prepayments, if any, set forth in the
Notes of such Series, provided that upon any partial prepayment of the Shelf Notes of any Series pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of each required prepayment of the Shelf Notes of such Series becoming due under this


  
 -23-









 
Section 8.1(b) on and after the date of such prepayment shall be reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Shelf Notes of such Series is reduced as a
result of such prepayment. 
 8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. 

The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, any Series of
Notes, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 (and in an integral multiple of $100,000) of the aggregate principal amount of such Series of Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and
the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of the Series of Notes to be prepaid written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less
than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Series of Notes to be prepaid on such date, the
principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a
certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two
Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of the Series of Notes to be prepaid a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment
date. 
 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. 
 In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes of any Series pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes of
such Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. 
 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. 
 In the case of each prepayment of Notes of
any Series pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal
amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as
aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of
any Note. 
 8.5. Purchase of Notes. 
 The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment


  
 -24-









 
or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or
prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 
 8.6. Make-Whole Amount. 
 The term “Make-Whole Amount”
means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the
Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Sections 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and
payable pursuant to Section 12.1. 
 “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any
Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted
financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied
by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may
replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or
(ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such
yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury
securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph,
such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable
U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield will
be rounded to that number of decimals as appears in the coupon for the applicable Note. 
 “Remaining Average
Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal 

  
 -25-









 
into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of
years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called
Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on
which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such
Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1. 
 “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 

8.7. Prepayment Upon Change in Control. 
 (a) Notice of Change in Control; Offer to Prepay if Change in Control has Occurred. The Company will, within five (5) Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the
occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. If a Change in Control has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in clause (b) of
this Section 8.7 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in clause (e) of this Section 8.7. 
 (b) Offer to Prepay; Time for Payment. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by clause (a) of this Section 8.7 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this
Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by each holder (in the case of this Section 8.7 only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such
beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). The Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such offer (if
the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date of such offer). 

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7
by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7,
or to accept an offer as to all of the Notes held by the holder, within such time period, shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. 

  
 -26-









 (d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to
this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment, but without payment of the Make-Whole Amount or any premium. The prepayment shall be made on the
Proposed Prepayment Date. 
 (e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to
this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date, (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to
this Section 8.7, (iii) that the entire principal amount of each Note is offered to be prepaid without any Make-Whole Amount, (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment
Date, (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of such notice have been fulfilled and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of the Change in Control.

 8.8. Prepayment in Connection with an Asset Disposition. 

(a) Notice and Offer. In the event any Debt Prepayment Application is to be used at the election of the Company to
make an offer (a “Disposition Prepayment Offer”) to prepay Notes pursuant to Section 10.9(f) of this Agreement (a “Debt Prepayment Transfer”), the Company will give written notice of such Debt Prepayment
Transfer to each holder of Notes. Such written notice shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer to prepay, at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder equal to such holder’s
Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer on a date specified in such notice (the “Disposition Prepayment Date”) that is not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty
(60) days after the date of such notice, together with interest on the amount to be so prepaid accrued to the Disposition Prepayment Date. If the Disposition Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such notice, the Disposition Prepayment Date
shall be the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date of such notice. 
 (b) Acceptance and Payment. To
accept such Disposition Prepayment Offer, a holder of Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice from the Company, provided, that
failure to accept such offer in writing within twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Disposition Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of a Note, such offered prepayment
(equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer) shall be due and payable on the Disposition Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of the principal amount of such
Notes being so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Disposition Prepayment Date determined as of the date of such prepayment. The prepayment shall be made on the Disposition Prepayment Date.

 (c) Other Terms. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be accompanied

 -27-









 
Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying (i) the Disposition Prepayment Date, (ii) the Net Proceeds in respect of the applicable Debt Prepayment Transfer, (iii) that
such offer is being made pursuant to this Section 8.8 and Section 10.9 of this Agreement, (iv) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (v) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid,

including, without limitation, ERISA, the USA Patriot Act and Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their
respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect
such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

9.2. Insurance. 
 The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such
casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established

 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. 

The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and
discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and
payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
need pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy if (i) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case
may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges and levies in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. 
 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. 

Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. Subject to
Sections 10.2 and 10.9, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the
Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 9.6. Books and Records. 

The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all
applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
 9.7. Additional Financial Covenants. 
 If at any time after the date of this
Agreement any Major Credit Facility that is outstanding on the date of this Agreement is amended or modified or a Major Credit Facility is entered into after the date of this Agreement that, in either case, shall include, or shall be amended or
otherwise modified to include, any Financial Covenant that is not provided for in this Agreement, or is more favorable to the Major Credit Facility Lenders or is more restrictive on the Company (the “Most Favored Provision”) than
the Financial Covenants provided for in this Agreement, then the Company shall provide written notice of such fact to each holder of Notes within five (5) Business Days thereof. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within
ten (10) Business Days of each holder’s receipt of such notice, such Most Favored Provision shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis (with such modifications thereof as may be necessary to give the
holders of Notes substantially the same benefits and protections afforded the Major Credit Facility Lenders under 

  
 -29-









 
such Major Credit Facility), as if set forth fully herein and, notwithstanding Section 17.1, without any further action on the part of the Company or any other Person being required.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees to enter into such documentation as the Required Holders may reasonably request to evidence the amendments provided for in this Section 9.7. At such time as a Major Credit Facility has been
terminated, all commitments thereunder cancelled and all liabilities existing thereunder paid in full (other than unasserted contingent liabilities and obligations), any Most Favored Provision set forth in such Major Credit Facility that has been
incorporated and/or amended into this Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall automatically terminate without any further action on the part of the Company or any other Person being required; provided that, at any
time a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the incorporation and/or amendment of such Most Favored Provision into this Agreement shall not terminate unless the Required Holders shall have consented to such termination in
writing, which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At such time as any Most Favored Provision is amended (whether or not such amendment is more favorable to the Major Credit Facility Lenders or is more restrictive on the
Company), removed or terminated under an existing Major Credit Facility, such Most Favored Provision set forth in such Major Credit Facility that has been incorporated and/or amended into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall
automatically be amended, removed or terminated herefrom accordingly without any further action on the part of the Company or any other Person being required; provided that, at any time a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such Most Favored Provision shall not be amended, removed or terminated in this Agreement unless the Required Holders shall have consented to such amendment, removal or termination in writing, which written consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, none of the Financial
Covenants expressly set forth in this Agreement on the date hereof, or the defined terms used therein (in each case as modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of Section 17 hereof) shall be deemed terminated, amended, waived or
otherwise modified as a result of the addition, termination, amendment, waiver or other modification of any Most Favored Provision.

time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. 
 (c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such


  
 -36-

acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a
Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances. 

12.2. Other Remedies. 
 If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder
of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any
Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 
 12.3. Rescission. 
 At any time after any Notes have been declared due and
payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all
principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of
Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment

12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. 
 No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s

rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein
or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) of the same Series as such surrendered Note in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of
the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1-A, in the case of a Series A Note, or in the form of Exhibit 1-B, in the case of a Shelf Note.

have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or
reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment
most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by

a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or
surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note
purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2. 
 15. EXPENSES, ETC. 
 15.1. Transaction Expenses. 

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company will pay all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by Prudential or the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such
transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the reasonable
costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative
demand issued in connection with this Agreement or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes and (c) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this
Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO, provided that such costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed $3,000. The Company will pay, and will save Prudential and each Purchaser and each other
holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any reasonable fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by Prudential or a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the
Notes). 
 15.2. Survival. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the
termination of this Agreement. 
 16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase
or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such
Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any 

  
 -40-









 
certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Subject to
the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 

17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. 

17.1. Requirements. 
 This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the
Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1.1, 2.1, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 (or any defined term as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to
by such Purchaser in writing, (b) (i) with the written consent of Prudential (and without the consent of any other holder of Notes), the provisions of Section 1.2 or 2.2 may be amended or waived (except insofar as any such amendment
or waiver would affect any rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes which shall have become Accepted Notes prior to such amendment or waiver), and (ii) with the written consent of all of the Purchasers which shall
have become obligated to purchase Accepted Notes of any Series (and not without the written consent of all such Purchasers), any of the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 4 may be amended or waived insofar as such amendment or waiver would affect only
rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of the Accepted Notes of such Series or the terms and provisions of such Accepted Notes and (c) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note
at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of
payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or
(iii) amend Section 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20. 
 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes. 

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned
by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the
provisions hereof or of the Notes, unless such proposed amendment, waiver or consent relates only to a specific Series of Accepted Notes which have not yet been purchased, in which case such information will only be required to be delivered to the
Purchasers which shall have become obligated to purchase Accepted Notes of such Series. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to
each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes. 

  
 -41-









 (b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause
to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any
holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms,
ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 
 17.3.
Binding Effect, Etc. 
 Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all
holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any
obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder
or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc. 
 Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent
to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 
 18.
NOTICES. 
 All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the
sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight

 19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. 

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may
hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by Prudential or any Purchaser at any Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to Prudential or
any Purchaser, may be reproduced by Prudential or such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and Prudential or such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and
stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not
such reproduction was made by Prudential or such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such 

  
 -43-









 
reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company, Prudential or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the
same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. 
 20.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 
 For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means
information delivered to Prudential or any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary or confidential in nature and that
was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by Prudential or such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that
(a) was publicly known or otherwise known to Prudential or such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by Prudential or such Purchaser or any person acting on
Prudential’s or such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to Prudential or such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary unless the source of such information is known by Prudential or such
Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to Prudential or such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Prudential and
each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by Prudential and such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Persons,
provided that Prudential and such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the
administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this
Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt
of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential
Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Prudential or such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization,
or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect
compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to Prudential or such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which Prudential or such Purchaser is a party
or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent Prudential or such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights
and remedies under Prudential’s or such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as
though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of 

  
 -44-









 
information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter
into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20. 
 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER. 

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase
hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of
the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in
lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company
of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such
original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 
 22. MISCELLANEOUS.

 22.1. Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without
limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 
 22.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary (but without limiting the requirement in
Section 8.4 that notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business
Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. 

22.3. Accounting Terms. 
 All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, in
each case as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Company notifies the 

  
 -45-









 
Required Holders that the Company requests an amendment to any provision of this Agreement to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application
thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Required Holders notify the Company that the Required Holders request an amendment to any provision of this Agreement for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or
after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or
such provision amended in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness using fair value (as permitted
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made. 

22.4. Severability. 
 Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

22.5. Construction, Etc. 
 Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall
not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be
applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and
Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof. 
 22.6. Counterparts. 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall
constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 
 22.7. Governing Law. 
 This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.


  
 -46-









 22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to
assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (b) Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to
bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 

(c) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR
ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

 To the Series A Purchasers (as defined below) 

Arch Chemicals, Inc. 
 Issuance and Sale of 6.70% Series A Senior Notes due August 28, 2016 
 Ladies and
Gentlemen: 
 We have acted as special Virginia counsel to Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the
“Company”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2009 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Purchasers listed in
Schedule A thereto (the “Series A Purchasers”), Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”) and each other Prudential Affiliate which becomes bound by the Note Purchase Agreement. The transactions relate to the
issuance and sale by the Company to the Series A Purchasers of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.70% Series A Senior Notes due August 28, 2016 (the “Notes”). 

This opinion is being furnished to you at the request of the Company as required by Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Note Purchase Agreement. 
 In connection with the foregoing, we have examined the following:

Company, dated the date hereof, to which the following documents are attached:

 EXHIBIT 4.4(a) 

(c) resolutions of Board of Directors of the Company adopted at a meeting on July 23, 2009, with respect to the Note
Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and 
 (d) a certificate issued by the SCC on
August 14, 2009 and confirmed on the date hereof, to the effect that the Company is existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and in good standing. 
 For purposes of the opinions expressed below, we have assumed (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted
as certified, photostatic or electronic copies and the authenticity of the originals thereof, (iii) the genuineness of all signatures not witnessed by us and (iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all
parties and the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof on such parties (other than the authorization, execution and delivery of documents by the Company). 
 As to factual matters, we have relied upon representations included in the documents submitted to us, upon certificates of officers of the Company and upon certificates of public officials. 

We do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

Based upon the foregoing and such other information and documents as we have considered necessary for the purposes hereof, we are of the

governmental authority by the Company is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes.

Arch Chemicals, Inc. 
 $75,000,000 6.70% Series A Senior Notes Due August 28, 2016 
 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 I am Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the
“Company”). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated as of August 28, 2009 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among the
Company, Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”) and the several purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto (together with Prudential, the “Purchasers”), relating to the purchase by the Purchasers on
the date hereof of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.70% Series A Senior Notes due August 28, 2016 (the “Notes”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
assigned thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement. 
 In that connection, I have examined originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including: (a) the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of
the Company, (b) the By-laws of the Company, (c) the Note Purchase Agreement and (d) the Notes. 
 Based upon the
foregoing, I am of opinion as follows: 
 (a) The issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution, delivery and performance by
the Company of the Note Purchase Agreement do not violate any Material agreement or other Material instrument known to me to which the Company or any Material Subsidiary is a party or by which the company or any Material Subsidiary may be bound.


  
 Exhibit 4.4(b)

 EXHIBIT 4.4(b) 

(b) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to my knowledge and after inquiry of the Company’s in-house counsel
primarily responsible for insurance and litigation matters, threatened, against the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal which, in my good faith judgment, would reasonably be
expected to have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries take as a whole or on the legality, validity or enforceability of the Company’s
obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes. To my knowledge, there is no default on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any outstanding applicable order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority or
arbitration board that would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

I am admitted to practice in the State of New York, and I express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of
the State of New York. 
 I am furnishing this opinion to you, as the purchasers in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, solely for your benefit and your successors and permitted assigns under the Note Purchase Agreement. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose or used, circulated, quoted or
otherwise referred to for any other purpose; provided that it may be disclosed to any regulatory authority to which you are subject, including without limitation the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, in connection with a review of the
above transactions. I am opining as to the matters herein only as of the date hereof, and, while you are authorized to show this opinion to such regulatory authorities for such purposes, the rights to do so do not imply any rights on their part to
rely on this opinion or any obligation on my part to update this opinion.

 August 28, 2009 

Arch Chemicals, Inc. 
 $75,000,000 6.70% Series A Senior Notes Due August 28, 2016 
 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 We have acted as special counsel for Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), in
connection with the purchase on the date hereof by the Purchasers (as defined below) of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.70% Series A Senior Notes due August 28, 2016 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the
Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated as of August 28, 2009 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”) and the several purchasers listed
in Schedule A thereto (together with Prudential, the “Purchasers”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement. 

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including: (a) the Note Purchase Agreement, (b) the Notes and (c) a certificate dated as of the date hereof, from an
officer of the Company (the “Officer’s Certificate”), attached as Exhibit A hereto. As noted in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, we have relied, with respect to certain factual matters, on the representations and warranties of the
Company and the Purchasers in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Officer’s Certificate, and have assumed compliance by each such party with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of opinion as follows: 

1. Assuming that the Note Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the Note Purchase
Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of 

  
 Exhibit 4.4(c)

 Page 2 









 EXHIBIT 4.4(c) 
  

 
materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

2. Assuming that the Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Notes constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law). 
 3. Assuming (i) the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company
in the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants of each Purchaser in the Note Purchase Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of
the Notes in the manner contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, to register the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to qualify an indenture in respect of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, it being
understood that no opinion is expressed as to any resale of any Notes. 
 4. Based solely on the Officer’s Certificate, the
Company is not required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 5. Assuming the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in Section 5.14 of the Note Purchase Agreement, none of the transactions contemplated by
the Note Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes) will violate or result in a violation of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve System.

 We express no opinion herein as to any provision of the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes that (a) relates to the
subject matter jurisdiction of any Federal court of the United States of America, or any Federal appellate court, to adjudicate any controversy related to the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes, (b) contains a waiver of an inconvenient forum
or (c) relates to the waiver of rights to jury trial. We also express no opinion as to whether a state court outside the State of New York or a Federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in
the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes. 
 We understand that you are satisfying yourselves as to the status under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state fraudulent conveyance laws of the obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, and we express no opinion thereon. 

We are admitted to practice in the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of
the State of New York and the Federal law of the United States of America. In particular, we do not purport to pass on any matter governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

 EXHIBIT 4.4(c) 
  

 We are furnishing this opinion to you solely for your benefit and the benefit of the
several Purchasers. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person (including by any person that acquires the Notes from a Purchaser) or for any other purpose. It may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other
purpose; provided that this opinion may be shown to regulatory authorities to which you are subject (including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) in connection with a review of the above transactions and
to any transferee or potential transferee of the Notes in connection with a sale of the Notes to such transferee. We are opining as to the matters herein only as of the date hereof, and, while you are authorized to show this opinion to such
regulatory authorities or transferees for such purposes, the rights to do so do not imply any rights on their part to rely on this opinion or any obligation on our part to update this opinion.

 August 28, 2009 
 To each of the Purchasers listed on Annex 1 hereto 
 Re: Arch Chemicals, Inc. 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We have
acted as special counsel for each of you (collectively, the “Purchasers”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Shelf Agreement”), dated as
of August 28, 2009, by and among Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”), and each of the Purchasers named on the Schedule A attached
thereto, which provides, among other things, for (i) the issuance and sale by the Company of its 6.70% Series A Senior Notes due August 28, 2016 in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 (the “Series A Notes”), and
(ii) the future issuance and sale by the Company from time to time of senior promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000,000 (the “Shelf Notes”, and together with the Series A Notes, the
“Notes”) within the limits prescribed by, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Shelf Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Shelf
Agreement. 
 This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(d) of the Shelf Agreement. Our representation of the
Purchasers has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above. 
 In connection with this opinion, we have examined
originals or copies of the following documents: 
 (i) the Shelf Agreement; 

(ii) each Series A Note, dated the date hereof, in the names, in the principal amounts and with the registration numbers
set forth on Schedule A to the Shelf Agreement; 
 (iii) Officer’s Certificate of the Company, dated the
date hereof, and delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(a) of the Shelf Agreement, with respect to the matters set forth therein (the “Officer’s Certificate”); 

(iv) a certificate of the Secretary of the Company, dated the date hereof, certifying, among other things, as to the
Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (collectively, the 







 
“Governing Documents”) and certain resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Shelf Agreement (the
“Secretary’s Certificate”); 
 (v) the opinion of Hunton & Williams LLP, in its
capacity as special Virginia counsel to the Company, dated the date hereof and delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Shelf Agreement; 
 (vi) the opinion of Sarah A. O’Connor, General Counsel of the Company, dated the date hereof and delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Shelf Agreement; 

(vii) the opinion of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, in its capacity as special counsel to the Company, dated the
date hereof and delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(c) of the Shelf Agreement; and 
 (viii) a cross
receipt evidencing receipt of funds by the Company and receipt of the Series A Notes by the Purchasers (the “Cross Receipt”). 
 The Shelf Agreement and the Series A Notes are sometimes referred to herein as the “Financing Documents”. This opinion is based entirely on our review of the documents listed in the
preceding paragraph and we have made no other documentary review or investigation for purposes of this opinion, except to the extent set forth in the next succeeding sentence. Based on such investigation as we have deemed appropriate, the opinions
referred to in clauses (v) through (vii), inclusive, above are satisfactory in form and scope to us, and, in our opinion, you are justified in relying thereon. 
 As to all matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied, with your permission, entirely upon
(1) the representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers set forth in the Shelf Agreement and (2) the Officer’s Certificate and the Secretary’s Certificate, and we have assumed, without independent inquiry, the
accuracy of such representations, warranties, certificates and letter. 
 We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form, the legal competence of each individual executing any document and that each
Person executing the Financing Documents validly exists, has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Financing Documents, and (where applicable) is qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws of
its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and each jurisdiction where such qualification is required generally or is necessary in order for such party to enforce its rights under such documents. We have further assumed that such documents
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered 







 
by each Person executing such documents, and, as to Persons other than the Company, are binding upon and enforceable against, such Persons. 

For purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary. Except to the extent addressed below in
paragraph 2, this opinion is limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of New York as applied by courts located in the State of New York without regard to choice of law and the federal laws of the United States of America (in each
case, except for federal and state tax, energy, utilities, national security, anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering and antitrust laws, as to which we express no opinion in this letter) and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other
jurisdiction. Our opinion in paragraph 3 below is based solely on a review of the Company’s Governing Documents and we have not made any analysis of the internal substantive law of the jurisdiction of organization of the Company, including
statutes, rules or regulations or any interpretations thereof by any court, administrative body, or other government authority, and we express no opinion in paragraph 3 below as to the internal substantive law of the Company’s jurisdiction of
organization. We note that the Financing Documents contain provisions stating that they are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York (each, a “Choice of Law Provision”). Except to the extent addressed below in paragraph
2, no opinion is given herein as to any Choice of Law Provision, or otherwise as to the choice of law or internal substantive rules of law that any court or other tribunal may apply to the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents. Except
as set forth in paragraph 5 below, we express no opinions as to any securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction. 
 Our opinion is further subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions, all of which we understand to be acceptable to you: 

(a) We have assumed without any independent investigation (i) that the execution, delivery and performance by each of
the parties thereto of the Financing Documents do not and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or result in a violation of, or constitute a default or require any consent (other than such consents
as have been duly obtained) under, any organizational document other than the Governing Documents (including, without limitation, applicable corporate charter documents and by-laws), any order, judgment, arbitration award or stipulation, or any
agreement, to which any of the properties or assets of any such parties is a party or is subject or by which any of the properties or assets of any of such parties is bound, (ii) that the statements regarding delivery and receipt of documents
and funds referred to in the Cross Receipt are true and correct, and (iii) that the Financing Documents are a valid and binding obligation of each party thereto to the extent that laws other than those of the State of New York are relevant
thereto (other than the laws of the United States of America, but only to 







 
the limited extent the same may be applicable to the Company and relevant to our opinions expressed below). 

(b) The enforcement of any obligations of any Person under the Financing Documents or otherwise may be limited by or
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling or other laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of debtors’
or guarantors’ rights); and we express no opinion as to the status under any fraudulent conveyance laws or fraudulent transfer laws of any of the obligations of any Person, whether under the Financing Documents or otherwise. 

(c) We express no opinion as to the availability of any specific or equitable relief of any kind. 

(d) The enforcement of any of your rights may in all cases be subject to an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing
and to general principles of comity and equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality and reasonableness (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), and will be subject to a duty to
act in a commercially reasonable manner. 
 (e) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any particular
provision of any of the Financing Documents relating to or constituting (i) waivers of rights to object to jurisdiction or venue, consents to jurisdiction or venue, or waivers of rights to (or methods of) service of process, (ii) waivers
of rights to trial by jury, or other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law, (iii) waivers of any applicable defenses, setoffs, recoupments, or counterclaims, (iv) waivers or variations of legal provisions or rights that are not
capable of waiver or variation under applicable law, (v) the granting of any power of attorney or of any proxy to any Person or (vi) exculpation or exoneration clauses, clauses relating to rights of indemnity or contribution, and clauses
relating to releases or waivers of unmatured claims or rights. 
 (f) Our opinion in paragraph 4 below is based
solely on a review of generally applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America and not on any search with respect to, or review of, any orders, decrees, judgments or other determinations specifically applicable to the
Company. 
 (g) We express no opinion as to the effect of events occurring, circumstances arising, or changes of
law becoming effective or occurring, after the date hereof on the matters addressed in this opinion letter, and we assume no responsibility to inform you of additional or changed facts, or changes in law, of which we may become aware. 







 Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein,
we are of the following opinions: 
 1. Each of the Financing Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. 
 2. The Choice of Law Provisions are
enforceable in accordance with New York General Obligations Law section 5-1401, as applied by a New York State court or a federal court sitting in New York and applying New York choice of law principles. 

3. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Shelf Agreement and the Series A Notes, the sale of the Series A Notes by the Company
and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Financing Documents will not constitute a violation of the Governing Documents or any of the provisions of any law, statute, rule or regulation of the State of New York. 

4. No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration, filing, registration, qualification or recordation with, any
Governmental Authority in respect of the Company is required to be obtained or effected under the laws of the State of New York or the United States of America in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the Financing Documents,
or in connection with the offer, issue, sale or delivery of the Series A Notes by the Company, in each case under the circumstances contemplated by the Financing Documents. 
 5. Under the circumstances contemplated by the Shelf Agreement, it is not necessary to register the offer and sale by the Company of the Series A Notes to you today under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or to qualify an indenture in respect of the issuance of the Series A Notes to you under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. 
 This opinion is delivered solely to you and for your benefit in connection with the Financing Documents and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person or entity
(other than future holders of Series A Notes acquired in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents) for any reason without our prior written consent. 

Very truly yours, 
 BINGHAM McCUTCHEN LLP
