    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

     

    Chemtura
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “you”) has advised
Banc of America Securities LLC (“BAS”), Citigroup (as
defined below), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”),
Barclays Capital (“Barclays”), the
investment banking division of Barclays Bank PLC, and Goldman Sachs Lending
Partners LLC (“GS”) that the Company
and certain of its subsidiaries, each a debtor and debtor-in-possession under
chapter 11 (“Chapter
11”) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”),
intend to be reorganized pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization.  In connection therewith, you have advised us that the
Company intends (a) to establish a $275 million senior secured asset-based
revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”),
(b) to establish a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility” and,
together with the Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”) having
the terms set forth on Exhibits A and B hereto and (c) to issue up to $750
million (subject to reduction by the principal amount of the Term Facility) in
principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior Notes”), the
proceeds of which would be used by the Company (i) to refinance the Company’s
amended and restated senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession credit
agreement dated as of February 3, 2010 (as heretofore and hereafter amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Existing Credit
Agreement”), (ii) to pay certain other creditors and fund distributions
to be made in accordance with the Plan (as defined in Exhibit B-2), (iii) to pay
administration and priority claims, (iv) to make contributions to the Company’s
United States pension fund, (v) to pay transaction costs, fees and expenses
related to financings, including the Facilities and the Senior Notes, arranged
in connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 pursuant to the Plan,
(vi) to pay fees for professional services and (vii) for other general corporate
purposes and activities.  For purposes hereof, “Citigroup” shall mean
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”), Citibank,
N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., Citicorp North America, Inc. and/or any of their
affiliates as Citigroup shall determine to be appropriate to provide the
services contemplated herein.  BAS, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Barclays
and GS are herein referred to as “we”, “us”, or the “Engagement
Parties”.  This letter and the exhibits and annexes attached
hereto are herein referred to collectively as this “Engagement
Letter”.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    The
purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the engagement by the Company of
BAS, Citigroup and Wells Fargo as exclusive joint lead arrangers for the Term
Facility, and by the Company of the Engagement Parties as exclusive joint book
runners for the Term Facility, in each case upon and subject to the terms and
conditions of this letter agreement and the Summary of Terms and Conditions
attached hereto (the “Summary of
Terms”).  The transactions contemplated hereby, including the
arrangement and funding of the loans under the Term Facility (the “Loans”), the
Revolving Facility and the Senior Notes are collectively referred to herein as
the “Transactions”.

     

    1.           As
the Company’s joint book runners, the Engagement Parties will use their
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain commitments from financial
institutions and institutional lenders in consultation with and acceptable (such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) to you (“Lenders”) to provide
or purchase the Loans, as applicable and, in connection therewith, will perform
the following functions as may be appropriate, in their reasonable judgment and
after consultation with the Company, to ensure the successful making or sale of
the Loans:  (i) advise the Company concerning the structure, price and
other terms and conditions for the Loans; (ii) assist the Company in preparing
informational materials (collectively with the Summary of Terms and any
additional summary of terms prepared for distribution to Public Lenders (as
hereinafter defined), the “Information
Materials”) to be used in connection with the Loans; (iii) solicit
interest in the Loans from prospective Lenders; (iv) facilitate communication
between the Company and prospective Lenders; (v) advise the Company in
connection with negotiations with Lenders relating to the Loans; and (vi)
regularly update you as to the progress of syndication efforts and any
information reasonably requested by you with respect thereto.

     

    No
additional book runners, agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed and no
other titles will be awarded unless you and we shall so agree.  In any
marketing material with respect to the Term Facility, (a) the names of BAS,
Citigroup and Wells Fargo will appear on the same line with the name of BAS
appearing to the left of the names of Citigroup and Wells Fargo, and the names
of Barclays and GS will appear on the same line immediately below the line
containing the name of BAS, and (b) if a columnar or other vertical presentation
of the names of the Engagement Parties is required, the name of BAS shall appear
first and the names of Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Barclays and GS shall appear
next.  You agree that, effective upon your acceptance of this
Engagement Letter and continuing through the earlier of November 30, 2010 and
the funding of the Loans, you shall not solicit any other bank, investment bank,
financial institution, person or entity to provide, structure, arrange or
syndicate the Term Facility or any other senior financing similar to the Term
Facility; provided that, the
Company and its subsidiaries shall be allowed to solicit any other bank,
investment bank, financial institution, person or entity to provide, structure,
arrange or syndicate any other senior financing similar to the Term Facility to
the extent the Company and its subsidiaries do so in discharge of their
fiduciary duties and obligations as debtors-in-possession.

     

    Any Loans
arranged by us will be as your agent and not on an underwritten basis by any
Engagement Party or any of its affiliates.  To facilitate our
arrangement efforts, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly notify BAS of all inquiries from prospective Lenders expressing
interest in  participating substantially in the Term Facility during
the period this engagement is in effect.  YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT
NOTHING HEREIN SHALL CONSTITUTE A COMMITMENT OR OFFER BY ANY ENGAGEMENT PARTY OR
ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES TO PROVIDE OR UNDERWRITE ANY PORTION OF THE LOANS, AND
THAT ANY SUCH COMMITMENT OR OFFER WOULD BE EVIDENCED BY AN ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE APPLICABLE ENGAGEMENT PARTIES (OR THE APPLICABLE AFFILIATES THEREOF)
AND THE COMPANY.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    It is
specifically understood that the Company will not base its decisions regarding
whether and how to pursue the Transactions or any portion thereof solely on the
Engagement Parties’ (or their affiliates’) advice, but will also consider the
advice of the Company’s legal, tax and other business advisors and such other
factors that it considers appropriate.  The Company shall have the
option, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject any advice given to it by
any Engagement Party and to undertake or not undertake the Transactions or any
portion thereof.  Each Engagement Party is serving as an independent
contractor under this letter agreement in connection with the performance of its
services hereunder and not as a fiduciary or trustee of any party.

     

    You agree
to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court (as defined in the Plan) for the
payment of all fees, expenses, indemnities and other obligations set forth in
this Engagement Letter and the Fee Letter (as defined in Schedule A
hereto).

    

    2.           You
agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Engagement Parties in
achieving a syndication of the Loans that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Engagement Parties and you (provided, that your obligation to use such efforts
shall cease upon the earlier of completion of such syndication and the date that
is 60 days after the Closing Date).  Such assistance shall include (a)
your providing, and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause your advisors
to provide, to the Engagement Parties and the Lenders, upon request, all
information reasonably deemed necessary by the Engagement Parties to complete
syndication, (b) your assistance in the preparation of a customary Information
Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of the Loans, (c) your
using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts
benefit from your existing banking relationships and (d) otherwise using
commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Engagement Parties in their
syndication efforts, including by making your senior management and using
commercially reasonable efforts to make your advisors available from time to
time to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of
the Company and its subsidiaries at one or more meetings of prospective Lenders
at mutually agreed upon times as the Engagement Parties may reasonably
request.

     

    It is
understood and agreed that BAS in consultation with you will manage all aspects
of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of prospective
Lenders (subject to your prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) of all
Lenders) and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be
accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the
Lenders.  It is understood that no Lender participating in the Term
Facility will receive compensation from you in order to obtain its commitment,
except on the terms contained herein and in the Summary of Terms.

     

    You
hereby represent, warrant and covenant that (a) all information, other than
Projections (as defined below), which has been or is hereafter made available to
any Engagement Party, any Lender or any potential Lender by you or any of your
representatives (or on your or their behalf) in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby (collectively, “Information”) is and
will be (taken as a whole) complete and correct in all material respects and
does not and will not (taken as a whole) contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were or are made; and (b) all
financial projections concerning Company and subsidiaries that have been or are
hereafter made available to any Engagement Party, any Lender or any potential
Lender by you or any of your representatives (“Projections”) have
been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are or were
reasonably believed by the preparer thereof to be reasonable as of the date of
the preparation of such Projections (it being understood that the Projections
are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
beyond the Company’s control, and that no assurance can be given that the
Projections will be realized).  If, at any time from the date hereof
until the termination of this Engagement Letter, any of the representations and
warranties in the preceding sentence would not be accurate and complete in any
material respect if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and
such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then the
Company agrees to promptly supplement the Information and/or Projections from
time to time so that the representations and warranties contained in this
paragraph remain accurate and complete in all material respects as described in
the preceding sentence.  In arranging and syndicating the Term
Facility, the Engagement Parties are and will be using and relying on the
Information and the Projections without independent verification
thereof.

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    You
acknowledge that (a) the Engagement Parties on your behalf will make available
Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the
Information Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system and (b)
certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”; all
other Lenders, “Private Lenders”) may
have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information
(within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, “MNPI”) with respect
to the Company, its affiliates or any other entity, or the respective securities
of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other
market-related activities with respect to such entities’
securities.  If requested, you will assist us in preparing an
additional version of the Information Materials not containing MNPI (the “Public Information
Materials”) to be distributed to prospective Public Lenders.

     

    Before
distribution of any Information Materials (a) to prospective Private Lenders,
you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of
the Information Materials and (b) to prospective Public Lenders, you shall
provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Public
Information Materials and confirming the absence of MNPI
therefrom.  In addition, at our request, you shall identify Public
Information Materials by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as
“PUBLIC”.

     

    You agree
that the Engagement Parties on your behalf may distribute the following
documents to all prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Engagement Parties
in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended
distributions that such material should only be distributed to prospective
Private Lenders:  (a) administrative materials for prospective Lenders
such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (b)
notifications of changes to the terms of the Term Facility and (c) drafts and
final versions of definitive documents with respect to the Term
Facility.  If you advise us that any of the foregoing items should be
distributed only to Private Lenders, then the Engagement Parties will not
distribute such materials to Public Lenders without further discussions with
you.  You agree (whether or not any Information Materials are marked
“PUBLIC”) that Information Materials made available to prospective Public
Lenders in accordance with this Engagement Letter shall not contain MNPI;
provided that you shall have no obligation to mark any Information Materials
“PUBLIC”.

     

    3.           By
accepting delivery of this Engagement Letter, the Company agrees that this
Engagement Letter is for the Company’s confidential use only and that neither
its existence nor its terms will be disclosed by the Company to any person other
than the Company’s affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors,
employees, advisors, agents and representatives (the “Company
Representatives”), and then only on a confidential and “need to know”
basis in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that the Company may make public disclosures of the terms and
conditions hereof (other than the Fee Letter and its terms and substance, except
as set forth in the Fee Letter) (a) as it is required by law or regulations or
by subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to inform the Engagement Parties promptly
thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent it is legally permitted to do
so), in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, to make, (b) in connection with
any exercise of remedies under or in connection with a breach of this letter
agreement or the definitive agreement entered into in connection herewith, (c)
to the extent necessary to obtain required approval from any governmental
authority (including a bankruptcy court) for the Term Facility or the fees,
expenses, indemnities and other obligations set forth herein and in the Fee
Letter or (d)(i) excluding Schedule A hereto, to any official committee
appointed in the Company’s bankruptcy cases and to the ad hoc committee of
bondholders in the Company’s bankruptcy cases, and their respective legal and
financial advisors or (ii) Schedule A hereto to legal and financial advisors,
but not members, of any official committee appointed in the Company’s bankruptcy
cases and of the ad hoc committee of bondholders in the Company’s bankruptcy
cases; provided that you agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to
prevent the contents of Schedule A hereto from becoming publicly available
including, without limitation, by the filing of a motion or an ex parte request
pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy
Rule 9018, as applicable, in each case seeking an order of the Bankruptcy Court
authorizing the Company to file Schedule A hereto under seal, and to take such
other actions as any of the Engagement Parties may reasonably request to
preserve, as far as reasonably practicable, the confidentiality of Schedule A
hereto in connection with any such disclosure.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    The
Engagement Parties will treat as confidential all confidential information
provided to them by or on behalf of the Company hereunder and will not disclose
any such information to any person without the prior written consent of the
Company; provided that nothing
herein shall prevent any Engagement Party from disclosing any such information
(a) to  such Engagement Party’s and its affiliates’ employees,
officers, directors, agents and advisors who are informed of the confidential
nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential,
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority, (c)
to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or the enforcement of rights hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this letter or other agreements in connection herewith,
(e) to assignees or participants or potential assignees or participants in the
Term Facility, or (f) to the extent that such information becomes publicly
available other than by reason of disclosure by such Engagement Party in
violation of this paragraph or becomes available to such Engagement Party on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or the Company
Representatives, provided that such source is not known by such Engagement Party
to be bound by a confidentiality obligation to the Company or the Company
Representatives.

    

    You
acknowledge that each Engagement Party or its affiliates may be providing
financing or other services to parties whose interests may conflict with
yours.  Each Engagement Party agrees that it will not furnish
confidential information obtained from you to any of its other customers and
that it will treat confidential information relating to you and your affiliates
with the same degree of care as it treats their own confidential
information.  The Engagement Parties further advise you that they will
not make available to you confidential information that they have obtained or
may obtain from any other customer.  In connection with the services
and transactions contemplated hereby, you agree that each Engagement Party is
permitted to access, use and share, with any of its affiliates, agents, advisors
or representatives, any information concerning you or any of your affiliates
that is or may come into the possession of such Engagement Party or any of its
affiliates.

    

    4.           Fees
to be paid as consideration for the services provided hereunder as well as all
other fees and discount contemplated in connection herewith are to be paid as
set forth in Schedule A hereto.  By executing this Engagement Letter,
you agree to pay or reimburse the Engagement Parties on demand for all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Engagement Parties (whether incurred before or after the date hereof) in
connection with the Term Facility and the preparation, negotiation, execution
and delivery of this Engagement Letter, the definitive documentation therefor
and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation,
due diligence expenses and the reasonable fees and expenses of Shearman &
Sterling LLP (it being understood that fees and expenses of not more than one
counsel for  all of the Engagement Parties shall be payable or
reimburseable under the preceding provisions of this sentence) and special and
local counsel (in each case reasonably retained by the Engagement Parties
jointly), regardless of whether any of the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated.  You will also pay all documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Engagement Parties (including without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of Shearman & Sterling LLP and special and local
counsel (in each case reasonably retained by the Engagement Parties jointly))
incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their rights and remedies
under this Engagement Letter.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    5.           This
offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 11, 2010, unless
you execute this Engagement Letter and the Fee Letter and return them to us
prior to that time.  This Engagement Letter, except as expressly
provided herein, shall automatically terminate on the earliest of (a) the date
of the definitive documentation for the Term Facility, (b) the completion of the
reorganization without the closing of the Term Facility, (c) the dismissal or
conversion to proceedings under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (other than any
dismissal or conversion in respect of a de minimis subsidiary of the Company) or
the appointment of a trustee or examiner with enlarged powers relating to the
operation of the business (powers beyond those set forth in sections 1106(a)(3)
and (4) of the Bankruptcy Code), except to the extent contemplated by or
provided for under the Plan, and (d) 11:59 p.m. New York City time, on November
30, 2010 if the definitive documentation for the Term Facility has not been
entered into on or prior to such date.  This Engagement Letter and the
Fee Letter shall be of no force and effect unless (i) executed by you and
delivered to us within the time frame required by the initial sentence of this
Section 5, and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court shall have approved the payment of all
fees, expenses, indemnities and other obligations set forth in this Engagement
Letter and in the Fee Letter.

     

    6.           The
Company and BAS shall have the right to approve every formal written
communication, including the Information Memorandum, from the Company or any
parties acting on its behalf (including any Engagement Party) to any Lender or
potential Lender directly relating to the offer and sale of the
Loans.

     

    7.           In
connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this letter, you
acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge your affiliates’ understanding, that (a)
the Term Facility and any related arranging or other services described in this
letter constitute an arm’s-length commercial transaction between you and your
affiliates, on the one hand, and each Engagement Party and its affiliates, on
the other hand, and you are capable of evaluating and understanding, and do
understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by this Engagement Letter; (b) in connection with the process
leading to such transaction, each Engagement Party is and has been acting solely
as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for you or
any of your affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party;
(c) no Engagement Party has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or
fiduciary responsibility in your or your affiliates’ favor with respect to any
of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether such Engagement Party has advised or is currently
advising you or your affiliates on other matters) and no Engagement Party has
any obligation to you or your affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth in this letter;
(d) each Engagement Party and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from yours and your affiliates,
and no Engagement Party has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by
virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) no Engagement
Party has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect
to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and you have consulted your own
legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed
appropriate.  You hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any claims that you may have against any Engagement Party with
respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary
duty.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    8.           You
agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Engagement Party, each Lender, and
each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (each an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same are
incurred for) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and
disbursements of outside counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with
or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in
connection therewith) (a) any matters contemplated by this Engagement Letter or
any related transaction or (b) the Term Loan Facility, or any use made or
proposed to be made with the proceeds thereof, except to the extent such claim,
damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In the
case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in
this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, any of its
directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other
person or whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated.  You also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any
liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to you
or your affiliates or to your or their respective security holders or creditors
arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions
contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a
final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be
liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (including without limitation, any loss of profits, business or
anticipated savings).  It is further agreed that each Engagement Party
shall only have liability to you (as opposed to any other
person).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Engagement
Letter, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the
use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic
telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the
extent such liability is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified
Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

      Schedule A –
Fees

      

      As
consideration for the services to be provided hereunder, the Company will pay to
each of the Engagement Parties a non-refundable fee equal to its percentage
share (set forth below) of 1.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
funded under the Term Facility on the Closing Date, earned and payable on the
Closing Date.  In addition, so long as (a) the proceeds of the Term
Facility have been released from escrow and remitted to the Company and (b) the
Loans are not subject to a special mandatory prepayment described under the
heading “Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Prepayment” in Exhibit A to the
Engagement Letter (such events described in clauses (a) and (b), the “Term Loan Proceeds
Release”), each Engagement Party will be entitled, if the Company’s
elects to pay such incentive fee in its sole discretion, to receive an incentive
fee equal to its percentage share (set forth below) of up to 0.25% of the
aggregate principal amount of Loans borrowed under the Term Facility after the
Term Loan Proceeds Release occurs.  The Engagement Parties shall be
entitled to the fees that are paid as described in the preceding sentences of
this Schedule A in the following percentages:  (i) 22.5% for BAS; (ii)
22.5% for Citigroup; (iii) 22.5% for Wells Fargo; (iv) 22.5% for Barclays; and
(v) 10% for GS.

      

      In
addition, the Company has agreed to pay the non-refundable administrative agency
fee set forth in the Fee Letter dated as of the date hereof and delivered
herewith (the “Fee
Letter”).

      

      In
addition, the Company may elect, as consideration for the funding by the
Lenders, to agree to permit each Lender to fund the principal amount of its Loan
on the Closing Date with original issue discount representing up to 2% of the
principal amount of such Lender’s Loan.  In the event the Loans are
subject to a special mandatory prepayment described under the heading “Escrow of
Proceeds; Special Mandatory Prepayment” in Exhibit A to the Engagement Letter,
the amount paid to each Lender in respect of the principal amount of the Loan
held by such Lender shall not exceed the amount funded in cash by such Lender on
the Closing Date.

      of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Prepayment:

                	 	
                  Pursuant
      to an escrow agreement, the proceeds of the Term Loans will be funded,
      together with a deposit by the Company of the additional amounts necessary
      to prepay the Term Loans in connection with the special mandatory
      prepayment described below, which shall consist of a cash deposit in an
      amount sufficient to fund the interest expected to accrue on the Term
      Loans for the period from the Closing Date to the initial Escrow End Date
      (as defined below), into a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) until
      the date that the escrow release conditions (set forth on Exhibit B-2
      hereto) are satisfied or a special mandatory prepayment is
      required.  The escrowed funds will be released to the Company on
      the date (the “Escrow
      Release Date”) on which such escrow release conditions are
      satisfied if such date occurs on or prior to the 60th day following the
      Closing Date (such date, as it may be extended at the Company’s election,
      for an additional 30 days on no more than two occasions, the “Escrow End
      Date”).  Escrow funds will be released to effect a
      special mandatory prepayment to the Term Lenders (in an amount equal to
      the sum of 100% of the portion of the outstanding principal amount of the
      Term Loans that is actually funded on the Closing Date into the Escrow
      Account plus accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal
      amount of the Term Loans) if the Bankruptcy Court (as defined in the Plan)
      does not approve the Plan described in Exhibit B-2 prior to the Escrow End
      Date or if the escrow release conditions are not met (or the Company
      determines that they cannot be met) on or prior to the Escrow End
      Date.  Amounts remaining in the Escrow Account after making such
      special mandatory prepayment will be released to the
    Company.

      term sheet and Exhibits B-1 and B-2 to the Engagement Letter and, to the
      extent not covered by such terms and provisions, otherwise reasonably
      acceptable to the Company and the Engagement Parties.

                  Incremental
      Facility:

                	 	
                  The
      Company will have the right to request additional term loans under the
      Term Facility or under a new term loan facility (the “Additional Term Loans”)
      from time to time in an aggregate maximum principal amount of
      $125,000,000; provided that (i) the
      principal amount of Additional Term Loans so requested each time shall not
      be less than $25,000,000, (ii) the maturity date of the Additional Term
      Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Term Loans, and
      the weighted average life to maturity of the Additional Term Loans shall
      be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term
      Loans, (iii) the interest rate margins applicable to the Additional Term
      Loans shall be determined by the Company and the lenders thereunder,
      provided that in the event the interest rate margins (other than as a
      result of the imposition of default interest) for any Additional Term
      Loans are higher than the interest rate margins for the Term Loans by more
      than 50 basis points, then the interest rate margins for the Term Loans
      shall be increased to the extent necessary so that such interest rate
      margins are equal to the interest rate margins for such Additional Term
      Loans, minus 50 basis points; provided further that, in determining the
      interest rate margins applicable to the Additional Term Loans and the Term
      Loans (x) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like
      amounts of OID) payable by any Loan Party to the Lenders under the Term
      Loans or any Additional Term Loans in the initial primary syndication
      thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on
      assumed 4-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement, structuring,
      underwriting or commitment fees (or similar fee, however denominated)
      payable to any of the Joint Book Runners (or their affiliates) in
      connection with the Term Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their
      affiliates) of any Additional Term Loans shall be excluded and (z) if
      there is an interest rate floor applicable to the Additional Term Loans
      that is greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Term Loans,
      such increased amount at the time of such determination shall be equated
      to an increased interest rate margin for purposes of determining any
      increase to the applicable interest rate margin under the Term Loans, (iv)
      immediately after giving pro forma effect to the Additional Term Loans,
      the Company would be in pro forma compliance with each of the financial
      covenants in the Term Facility Credit Agreement, and (v) no Event of
      Default, or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both
      would be an Event of Default, has occurred and is
      continuing.  The Company may offer the increase to (x) its
      existing Term Lenders, and each existing Term Lender will have the right,
      but no obligation, to commit to all or a portion of the proposed
      Additional Term Loans or (y) third party financial institutions acceptable
      to the Administrative Agent (if Administrative Agent’s consent is required
      under the heading “Assignments and Participations” below for an assignment
      of the Term Loans to such institutions) (such acceptance not to be
      unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the
      minimum commitment of each such third party financial institution equals
      or exceeds $1,000,000.

      applicable interest period (or at other times with the payment of
      applicable breakage costs), prepay in full or in part, without premium or
      penalty (other than such breakage costs), the Term Loans; provided that each such
      partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or
      multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the then
      outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans).

      other than debt permitted under the Term Facility Credit Agreement and
      other customary exceptions to be agreed upon, (ii) 100% of the net cash
      proceeds from sales or casualty events of any Term Facility Collateral
      (excluding sales or other dispositions of certain assets in the ordinary
      course of business), subject to customary exceptions and a dollar
      threshold to be mutually agreed upon for excluded sales and casualty
      events, and (iii) starting with annual excess cash flow for fiscal year
      2012, a percentage of annual excess cash flow (to be defined in the Loan
      Documents, but in any event to be reduced by pension and postemployment
      benefit liability payments and to provide dollar-for-dollar credit for
      voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans and of the Revolving Loans, to the
      extent accompanied by a corresponding reduction of the commitments under
      the Revolving Facility) equal to 50%, provided that such percentage shall
      be reduced to 25% or 0% at secured leverage ratio (to be defined as
      described under the heading “Financial Covenants” below) thresholds to be
      determined.

              Confirmation
      Order:  The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered a final
      order (the “Confirmation
      Order”) confirming a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for the
      Debtors (as amended, supplemented or modified, or with any of the terms or
      conditions thereof waived, in each case as described below, the “Plan”) in accordance
      with Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, which plan shall be
      substantially as set forth in the plan dated  July 20, 2010
      (together with all exhibits and other attachments thereto, as any of the
      foregoing shall be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time or
      any of the terms or conditions thereof waived (with the consent of the
      Requisite Term Lenders with respect to any amendment, modification,
      supplement or waiver that is adverse in any material respect to the
      Lenders), the “Plan
      Documents”), or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite
      Term Lenders.  The Confirmation Order shall approve the
      transactions contemplated by Term Facility, shall be in full force and
      effect and shall not have been stayed, reversed or vacated, or otherwise
      amended or modified in any manner that is materially adverse to the rights
      or interests of the Lenders (unless otherwise reasonably satisfactory to
      the Requisite Term Lenders).  The Plan shall have, or
      contemporaneous with the release of escrow funds the Plan shall, become
      effective.  Further, either (i) the settlement of certain
      diacetyl claims as set forth in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”),
      a copy of which is annexed to the motion filed with the Bankruptcy Court
      on July 29, 2010 (the “Settlement Motion”),
      shall have been approved, without material modification (it being
      understood that modifications contemplated under and in accordance with
      Section 3.3 of the Settlement Agreement are not material), by an order of
      the Bankruptcy Court (the “Settlement Order”) and
      both (x) the Settlement Agreement shall remain in full force and effect,
      without a right of the Company to terminate the Settlement Agreement in
      accordance with Section 4.2 thereof and (y) the Settlement Order shall not
      be reversed, vacated or stayed or (ii) claims that were the subject of the
      Settlement Agreement in an amount and number such that (if such amount and
      number of claimants had accepted the Settlement Agreement) the Company
      would not have had the right to terminate the Settlement Agreement in
      accordance with Section 4.2 thereof, shall have been (A) estimated, for
      purposes of creating a cash reserve that will provide the sole source of
      recovery for such estimated claims, and/or (B) settled pursuant to
      settlement agreements in full force and effect, with such settlements and
      estimates described in clauses (A) and (B) being in an aggregate cash
      amount substantially consistent with (or less than) the aggregate
      settlement amount set forth in the Settlement Agreement and in each case
      being approved pursuant to one or more orders of the Bankruptcy Court
      (collectively, the “Estimation/Settlement
      Orders”), and  such Estimation/Settlement Orders shall
      not be reversed, vacated or stayed.

              Other
      Indebtedness.  The Lenders shall have received reasonably
      satisfactory evidence that the obligations of the Company and each of its
      other debtor subsidiaries with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement
      have been satisfied and discharged and any collateral in respect thereof
      released, except that letters of credit issued under the Existing Credit
      Agreement that are supported by cash or letters of credit issued under the
      Revolving Facility may remain outstanding.  Concurrently with
      the consummation of the Plan, all pre-existing indebtedness of the Company
      and its subsidiaries (other than indebtedness permitted to remain
      outstanding under the Plan and the Loan Documents) shall have been repaid,
      repurchased, discharged or otherwise satisfied in full, all commitments
      relating thereto shall have been terminated, and all liens or security
      interests related thereto shall have been terminated or
      released.   In addition, the Agents shall have received
      evidence that the Closing Date (as defined in the term sheet for the
      Revolving Facility delivered to the Engagement Parties on or prior to the
      date of the Engagement Letter) for the Revolving Facility shall have
      occurred and that the Company has received the net cash proceeds from the
      issuance of at least $750 million (less the principal amount of the Term
      Loans) in principal amount of the Senior Notes.  The Senior
      Notes shall not (a) have a stated maturity date earlier or a weighted
      average life to maturity shorter than six months after the Term Facility
      Termination Date or (b) have any direct restriction on any specific
      payment of the Term Facility or impose any other direct restriction on the
      Company or any of its subsidiaries that by its express terms conflicts
      with any express term or provision set forth in the Loan
      Documents.  The terms of the Revolving Loans, taken as a whole,
      shall be substantially consistent with those set forth on the term sheet
      attached to the commitment letter dated as of the date of the Engagement
      Letter among the Company and the joint book runners or their affiliates,
      except to the extent failure to be substantially consistent is not
      materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders.  The Senior
      Notes shall not contain any financial maintenance
    covenants.

      its subsidiaries since December 31, 2009 through the most recently ended
      fiscal month ending at least 30 days prior to the Escrow Release Date (or
      in the case of quarterly financial statements, through the most recently
      ended fiscal quarter ending at least 45 days prior to the Escrow Release
      Date).

            

    

     

    
      	
              4.

      Engagement Letter and the Fee Letter and payable to the Agents or the
      Lenders shall have been paid to the extent
due.

      corporate records and documents from public officials, lien searches and
      officer’s certificates; (ii) customary evidence of authority with respect

      Plan, the material related transactions or the financing
      thereof.  Loan Documents (including guarantees, security
      agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement) shall have been duly executed
      and delivered.

      Collateral, and second priority security interests in the Revolving
      Facility Collateral, in each case to the extent described in Exhibit A to
      the Engagement Letter in the section titled “Security and Priority”, and
      in each case in form and
      substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Agents.
