Any such Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Commitment Party shall be included, among other things, in the determination of (x) the Unsubscribed Shares of such Replacing Commitment Party for all purposes hereunder, (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Commitment Party for purposes of Section 3.1 and (z) the Backstop Commitment of such party for purposes of the definition of Requisite Commitment Parties.  If a Commitment Party Default occurs, the Outside Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for the Commitment Party Replacement to be completed within the Commitment Party Replacement Period.
(b)    If a Commitment Party is a Defaulting Commitment Party, it shall not be entitled to any of the Commitment Premium hereunder.
(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a Commitment Party to purchase more than its Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares.
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.4 but subject to Section 10.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Commitment Party from liability hereunder, or limit the availability of the remedies set forth in Section 10.9, in connection with any such Defaulting Commitment Party’s Commitment Party Default.

The Subscription Escrow Account shall be established with an escrow agent satisfactory to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company (the “Subscription Escrow Agreement”).  If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the funds held in the Subscription Escrow Account shall be released, and each Commitment Party shall receive from the Subscription Escrow Account the cash amount actually funded to the Subscription Escrow Account by such Commitment Party, plus any interest accrued thereon, promptly following such termination.

Unless a Commitment Party requests delivery of a physical stock certificate, the entry of any Unsubscribed Shares to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) into the account of a Commitment Party pursuant to MPM’s book entry procedures and delivery to such Commitment Party of an account statement reflecting the book entry of such Unsubscribed Shares shall be deemed delivery of such Unsubscribed Shares for purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Unsubscribed Shares will be delivered with all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar transfer Taxes or duties that are due and payable (if any) in connection with such delivery duly paid by MPM.

25

obligated to fund the Backstop Commitment to be Transferred until the consummation of the Plan; provided that such special purpose vehicle shall not be related to or Affiliated with any portfolio company of such Commitment Party or any of its Affiliates or Affiliated Funds (other than solely by virtue of its affiliation with such Commitment Party) and the equity of such special purpose vehicle shall not be transferable other than to such Persons  described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.6(b), and in such manner, as such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment is transferable pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) (each of the Persons referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), an “Ultimate Purchaser”), and that, in each case, provides a written agreement to the Company under which it (x) confirms the accuracy of the representations set forth in Article V as applied to such Ultimate Purchaser, (y) agrees to purchase such portion of such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment, and (z) agrees to be fully bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a Commitment Party hereto; provided, that no sale or Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall relieve such Commitment Party from its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)    Each Commitment Party, severally and not jointly, agrees that it will not Transfer, at any time prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person other than in accordance with Sections 2.3, 2.6(a), 2.6(b) and 6.7.  After the Closing Date, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way the ability of any Commitment Party (or any permitted transferee thereof) to Transfer any of the shares of Top HoldCo Common Stock or any interest therein; provided, that any such Transfer shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder and pursuant to applicable securities Laws.

MPM shall satisfy its obligation to pay the Commitment Premium on the Closing Date by issuing additional shares of New Common Stock out of the Total Outstanding Shares to the Commitment Parties in lieu of any cash payment (the aggregate number of shares of New Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of the Commitment Premium will be approximately 1.5 million, subject to the Net Debt Amount as provided in the Plan); provided, that if the Closing does not occur, the Commitment Premium shall be payable in cash and only to the extent provided in Section 9.4.

In exercising the foregoing rights, the Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.
(c)    Without limitation to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, to the extent exigencies permit, the Company shall provide or cause to be provided a draft of all motions, applications, pleadings, schedules, Orders, reports or other material papers (including all material memoranda, exhibits, supporting affidavits and evidence and other supporting documentation) in the Chapter 11 Proceedings relating to or affecting the Transaction Agreements in advance of filing the same with the Bankruptcy Court.

(d)    Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall limit the ability of any Commitment Party to consult with the Debtors, to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Proceedings to the extent not inconsistent with the RSA.
Section 6.7    Transfers and Acquisitions of Votable Claims.
(a)    Each Commitment Party shall deliver written notice of all Transfers and acquisitions, whether direct or indirect, of Votable Claims, whether through a derivative instrument or otherwise, made by it and the aggregate principal amount of Votable Claims held by it immediately following such Transfer or acquisition to the Company, Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and Lazard Frères & Co LLC, in each case, within two (2) Business Days of the date of such Transfer or acquisition.

50

(b)    If any Commitment Party (together with all of its Affiliates, collectively, the “Transferring Commitment Party”) Transfers any Votable Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof (other than to a Related Purchaser of such Transferring Commitment Party), each other Commitment Party that is a member of the Ad Hoc Committee (the “Non-Transferring Commitment Party”) may elect in its sole discretion, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of written notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section 6.7(a), to assume its Assumable Share of the Assumable Amount of the Transferring Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment.  To the extent that not all Non-Transferring Commitment Parties have elected to assume their Assumable Share of the Assumable Amount, each Commitment Party that elected to assume its Assumable Share of the Assumable Amount may elect to assume the remaining portion of the Assumable Amount on a pro rata basis (determined by comparing the Backstop Commitment of such Commitment Party that elected to assume its Assumable Share at the time of such election against the aggregate Backstop Commitment of all Commitment Parties so electing to assume such remaining portion).  Any Backstop Commitment assumed by a Non-Transferring Commitment Party in accordance with this Section 6.7(b) shall be included, among other things, in the determination of (x) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Commitment Party for purposes of Section 3.1 and (y) the Backstop Commitment of such party for purposes of the definition of Requisite Commitment Parties.  If any Commitment Party that is a Transferring Commitment Party no longer has any Backstop Commitment following a Transfer effected pursuant to this Section 6.7, it shall automatically cease to be a Party and will no longer have any rights as a Commitment Party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Commitment Premium).
(c)    Each Commitment Party agrees that any Transfer of any Votable Claims or any other Claims or equity interests in the Debtors that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth in this Section 6.7 shall be deemed void ab initio.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.3, the SSA shall be assumed pursuant to the Plan, with such assumption being (x) contingent upon the execution and assumption of the SSA Amendment and (y) deemed effective upon and contingent on the occurrence of the Effective Date.  Forms of the Reorganized Momentive Corporate Documents and the SSA Amendment shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan or an amendment thereto.

None of the Company or any of its affiliates or any other Person acting on its or their behalf will solicit offers for, or offer or sell, any 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

53

and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any such shares, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend (the “Legend”) in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [DATE OF ISSUANCE], HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.”
In the event that any such shares are uncertificated, such shares shall be subject to a restrictive notation substantially similar to the Legend in the stock ledger or other appropriate records maintained by Reorganized Momentive or agent and the term “Legend” shall include such restrictive notation.  Reorganized Momentive shall remove the Legend (or restrictive notation, as applicable) set forth above from the certificates evidencing any such shares (or the stock ledger or other appropriate Reorganized Momentive records, in the case of uncertified shares) at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable, including, as applicable, when such shares may be sold under Rule 144.

(d)    With respect to any Alternative Transaction that is premised, whether directly or indirectly, on one or more asset sales under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to a chapter 11 plan, each Commitment Party and/or the respective agents under the Second Lien 

57

Indenture (including the Collateral Agent under and as defined in the Second Lien Indenture) shall (in the manner provided for in the Second Lien Documents and the Second Lien Notes) have the right to “credit bid” (whether pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) all (or such lesser portion as they may determine under the Second Lien Documents and the Second Lien Notes) of the Obligations under and as defined in the Second Lien Indenture (including all principal, premium, interest (at the default rate to the extent applicable under the Second Lien Documents and Second Lien Notes and irrespective of whether permissible under the Bankruptcy Code), penalties, fees, charges, expenses, indemnifications, reimbursements, damages, and all other amounts and liabilities payable under the Second Lien Documents and the Second Lien Notes), the principal amount of which shall be no less than $1,345,000,000 as of the Petition Date, notwithstanding any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable Law (including Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code) to the contrary, subject only to any applicable term or condition of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such term or condition is found to be enforceable.

64

a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person.
Section 8.2    Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII.  In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims.  Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized 

65

in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Section 8.3    Settlement of Indemnified Claims.  In connection with any Indemnified Claim for which an Indemnified Person is assuming the defense in accordance with this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified Person without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VIII.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
Section 8.4    Contribution.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.  It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Unsubscribed Shares in the Rights Offerings contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Commitment Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Commitment Parties.  The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence or otherwise to the 

66

Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.
Section 8.5    Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.  The provisions of this Article VIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and the obligations of the Company under this Article VIII shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Company may comply with the requirements of this Article VIII without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
Section 8.6    No Survival.  All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms.

(b)    The Debtors shall make payments to the Commitment Parties or their designees based upon their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages on the date of payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as the Requisite Commitment Parties may designate, if this Agreement is terminated as follows:
(i)    automatically pursuant to Section 9.2(l) or 9.2(p), then the Company shall pay the Commitment Premium, in cash, on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day following such termination;
(ii)    if the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(e), then the Company shall pay the Commitment Premium, in cash, concurrently with such termination; and
(iii)    if this Agreement shall be terminated automatically pursuant to Section 9.2 (other than clauses (j), (m) and (p) of Section 9.2), or by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3(a), and, within twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, any of the Debtors executes a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, an Alternative Transaction, or the Bankruptcy Court approves or authorizes an Alternative Transaction, then the Company shall pay the Commitment Premium, in cash, on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day following such execution or consummation.
To the extent that all amounts due in respect of the Commitment Premium pursuant to this Section 9.4(b) have actually been paid by the Debtors to the Commitment Parties in connection with a termination of this Agreement, the Commitment Parties shall not have any additional recourse against the Debtors for any obligations or liabilities relating to or arising from this Agreement, except for liability for gross negligence or willful or intentional breach of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a).  Except as set forth in this Section 9.4(b), the Commitment Premium shall not be payable upon the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.7    Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative; Consent.  This Agreement may be amended, restated, modified or changed only by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Commitment Parties; provided, that (a) any Commitment Party’s prior written consent shall be required for any amendment that would, directly or indirectly: (i) modify such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage, (ii) increase the Purchase Price to be paid in respect of the Unsubscribed Shares, or (iii) have a materially adverse and disproportionate effect on such Commitment Party and (b) the prior written consent of Apollo and each Commitment Party that was an original signatory hereto that is still a Commitment Party as of such date of amendment shall be required for any amendment to the definition of “Requisite Commitment Parties.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule 1 shall be revised as necessary without requiring a written instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Commitment Parties to reflect changes in the composition of the Backstop Parties and Backstop Commitment Percentages as a result of Transfers permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

75

Section 10.12    Publicity.  At all times prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Commitment Parties shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases (and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release) or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood 

76

that nothing in this Section 10.12 shall prohibit any Party from filing any motions or other pleadings or documents with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings.
Section 10.13    Settlement Discussions.  This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute between the Parties.

Pursuant to Section 408 of the U.S. Federal Rule of Evidence and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any Legal Proceeding, except to the extent filed with, or disclosed to, the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings (other than a Legal Proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of this Agreement).
Section 10.14    Euro Denominated Notes.  For purposes of this Agreement, the principal amount of any Second Lien Notes or Votable Claims that are denominated in Euros shall be considered to be a dollar amount calculated by applying the spot exchange rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal for converting Euros into dollars on April 11, 2014.
Section 10.15    No Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates, or any of such Party’s Affiliates’ or respective Related Parties in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, nothing in this Section 10.15 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments.  For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Effective Date, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.

Section 4.19
Environmental
Actual and alleged environmental violations were identified by the Company at the Company’s facility in Waterford, New York with respect to air quality and hazardous waste regulations.  The Company has been cooperating with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the “NYSDEC”) in addressing these actual and alleged violations.  Although the Company believes that the costs and potential penalties associated with these actual and alleged violations will not have a material adverse impact on its business, these issues may result in administrative and/or civil enforcement by the State of New York and resolution of such enforcement actions will likely require payment of a monetary penalty and/or the imposition of other civil sanctions.
In 2008, the NYSDEC issued a notice of violation alleging certain failures to comply with the State and federal regulatory requirements governing the treatment of hazardous waste and the operation of the hazardous waste incinerators at the Company’s Waterford, New York, facility.  Subsequently, in the second quarter of 2009, the USEPA and the U.S. Department of Justice sought, through search warrant and subpoena, additional information related to the alleged noncompliances.  The Company is cooperating with the State and federal authorities.   Although the Company believes that the costs and potential penalties associated with these violations will not have a material adverse impact on its business, these investigations may result in administrative, civil and/or criminal enforcement by the State of New York and/or the United States and resolution of such enforcement actions will likely require payment of a monetary penalty and/or the imposition of other civil and/or criminal sanctions.
In February 2012, the Italian regional environmental agency assessed an administrative penalty against the directors of the Company’s Italian subsidiary in connection with allegations that the Company’s Termoli, Italy facility violated certain hazardous waste record keeping and reporting requirements during the period from November 2010 to July 2011.  In accordance with agency policies, the Company settled the matter by paying €175,667 in April 2012.  The agency has also alleged that the Company’s Termoli, Italy facility has violated certain hazardous waste storage and disposal requirements.  Although the Company believes that the costs and potential penalties associated with these violations will not have a material adverse impact on its business, these allegations may be the subject of further enforcement actions, including criminal enforcement.  
The Company has identified the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the soil in certain locations at its Sistersville, West Virginia facility.  The Company believes this soil contamination is the result of historic operations by a prior owner (Union Carbide).  The Company filed an action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York on December 30, 2011 against the prior owner seeking reimbursement of response costs arising from this contamination.
The Company is also involved in other remediation actions to clean up soil and/or groundwater contamination as required by federal and state laws at several of its manufacturing facilities and offsite landfills.  Liabilities for remediation costs for these actions have been estimated 

41

in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had recognized obligations of $6 million for these remediation costs, including $3.9 million for cleanup at the Company’s Waterford, New York, facility, $1.2 million at the Company’s Sistersville, West Virginia facility and $166,000 at the Company’s former Eulis, Texas facility.  In addition, the cost to operate the groundwater remediation system at the Waterford, New York facility is expected to be $15 million and is to be paid over the next 50 years.
In addition, in the normal course of our business, the Company is required to provide financial assurances for contingent future costs associated with certain hazardous waste management and remedial activities.  Pursuant to financial assurance requirements set forth in state hazardous waste permit regulations applicable to the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Waterford, New York and Sistersville, West Virginia, the Company has provided letters of credit in the following amounts: $25.3 million for closure and post-closure care for the Waterford and Sistersville facilities; and $10 million (annual aggregate) for accidental occurrences at the Waterford and Sistersville facilities.  The Company is currently in discussions with the NYSDEC regarding the renewal of the Waterford facility’s hazardous waste permit.  In connection with the renewal, the NYSDEC may increase the financial assurances that the Company is required to provide for this facility, which may result in a material increase in the amount of letters of credit or other assurance that the Company must deliver.

SECTION 17.    Headings. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Amendment.
SECTION 18.    Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
