2         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HIH AND THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES.
HIH represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, to the GOF Parties that:

                  (a) ORGANIZATION, STANDING AND POWER OF HIH. HIH is a limited
         liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good
         standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all of the
         requisite power, authority and all necessary government approvals or
         licenses to own, lease, operate its properties, and to carry on its
         business as now being conducted, except where failure to be so
         organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power,
         authority and approvals would not, either individually or in the
         aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. HIH is duly
         qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each
         jurisdiction in which the nature of the business it is conducting makes
         such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such
         jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in
         good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not constitute a
         Company Material Adverse Effect. HIH has heretofore made available to
         the GOF Parties complete and correct copies of HIH's Limited Liability
         Company Agreement, as amended through the date hereof (the "LLC
         AGREEMENT"). The LLC Agreement is in full force and effect as of the
         date hereof.

               (b)  THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES; INTERESTS IN OTHER PERSONS.

                    (i)  Each Company Subsidiary is duly organized, validly
               existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction
               of incorporation and has all of the requisite power and authority
               and all necessary government approvals and licenses to own,
               lease, operate its properties, and to carry on its business as
               now being conducted, except where the failure to have such
               approvals or licenses would not, individually or in the
               aggregate, constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each
               Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business
               and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature
               of the business it is conducting makes such qualification or
               licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the
               failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would
               not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Company
               Material Adverse Effect. Section 2(b)(i) of the Company
               Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of each Company Subsidiary.
               All equity securities of each Company Subsidiary have been duly
               authorized, are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and,
               except as disclosed in Section 2(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure
               Letter, are owned by HIH and/or one or more Wholly Owned Company
               Subsidiaries, and are so owned free and clear of all Liens, and
               there are no voting restrictions with respect to such equity
               securities. Section 2(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets
               forth the amount and holder of all director qualifying shares
               issued by Company Subsidiaries.

                    (ii) HIH has heretofore made available to the GOF Parties
               (if so requested) complete and correct copies of the charter,
               by-laws or other organizational documents (the "CONSTITUTIVE
               DOCUMENTS") of HIH and each of the Company Subsidiaries, each as
               amended to the date hereof and each as in full force and effect.
               Section 2(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth with
               respect to each Company Subsidiary which is not a Wholly Owned
               Company Subsidiary, each owner and the respective amount of such
               owner's equity ownership in each such Company Subsidiary which is
               not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, including, without limitation,
               securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
               equity ownership in such Company Subsidiary.

                    (iii) Except for the stock of, or other equity interests in,
               the Company Subsidiaries, and the other interests disclosed in
               Section 2(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the
               "COMPANY'S OTHER INTERESTS"), neither HIH nor any of the Company
               Subsidiaries directly or indirectly owns any stock or other
               ownership or equity interest in, or any interest convertible into
               or exchangeable or exercisable for, any Person.

               (c)  HIH CAPITAL STRUCTURE.

                    (i)  The total outstanding membership interests of HIH
               consist of 1000 Units (the "UNITS"), all of which are validly
               issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable and were
               not issued in violation of preemptive rights and, except as set
               forth in Section 2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no
               outstanding Units are subject to forfeiture or repurchase for any
               reason. Section 2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth
               a true and complete list of the holders of Units of HIH, the
               class or series of such Units and the number of such Units owned
               of record by each such holder.

                    (ii) Except as set forth in Section 2(c) of the Company
               Disclosure Letter, there are no voting trusts, voting agreements,
               proxies, first refusal rights, first offer rights, co-sale
               rights, options, transfer restrictions or other agreements,
               instruments or understandings (whether written or oral, formal or
               informal) with respect to the voting, transfer or disposition of
               Units or other equity securities of HIH or any of the Company
               Subsidiaries to which HIH, the Company Subsidiaries or HSCC is a
               party or by which they are bound, or, to the Knowledge of HIH,
               among or between any Persons other than HIH or HSCC. Except as
               set forth in Section 2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there
               are no options, warrants, rights, calls, commitments or
               agreements of any character to which HIH or any Company
               Subsidiary is a party, or by which HIH or any Company Subsidiary
               is bound, calling for the issuance of Units or other equity
               securities of HIH or any Company Subsidiary or any securities
               convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or
               representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive, any such
               membership interests or other equity securities, or other
               arrangement to acquire, at any time or under any circumstance,
               capital stock of HIH or any Company Subsidiary or any such other
               securities. Except as set forth in Section 2(c) of the Company
               Disclosure Letter, there are no obligations, contingent or

                                       5

<Page>

               otherwise, of HIH or any Company Subsidiary to purchase, redeem
               or otherwise acquire any capital stock of any Company Subsidiary
               or to provide funds or make an investment (in the form of a loan,
               capital contribution or otherwise) in any such Company Subsidiary
               or any other entity. Except as set forth in Section 2(c) of the
               Company Disclosure Letter, no holder of securities in HIH or any
               Company Subsidiary has any contractual right to have such
               securities registered by HIH or any Company Subsidiary, as the
               case may be. All prior issuances of securities by HIH and each of
               the Company Subsidiaries were made in compliance with and not in
               violation of all applicable Federal, state, local and foreign
               securities laws.

               (d)  AUTHORITY; NO VIOLATIONS; CONSENTS AND APPROVAL.

                    (i)  HIH has all requisite power and authority to enter into
               the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to
               consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The
               execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it
               is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
               hereby or thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all
               necessary action on the part of HIH. Such Transaction Documents
               have been duly and validly executed and delivered by HIH and
               constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of HIH,
               enforceable against HIH in accordance with their terms, except to
               the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable
               bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other
               similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
               generally and by principles of equity regardless of whether such
               enforceability is considered a proceeding in law or equity.

                    (ii) Except as set forth in Section 2(d)(ii) of the Company
               Disclosure Letter, the execution, delivery and performance of the
               Transaction Documents to which it is a party by HIH, the purchase
               of the B Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (and any
               related documents including, but not limited to, the pledge
               agreement) by the parties thereto, and the consummation of the
               transactions with respect to the B Notes contemplated hereby and
               thereby, and compliance by HIH with such provisions hereof and
               thereof, will not conflict with, or result in any violation of,
               or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both)
               under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or
               acceleration of any obligation, or the loss of a benefit under,
               or give rise to a right of purchase under, result in the creation
               of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of HIH or any of
               the Company Subsidiaries under, require the consent or approval
               of any third party or otherwise result in a detriment or default
               to HIH or any of the Company Subsidiaries under, any provision of
               (A) the LLC Agreement or any Constitutive Document of HIH or any
               Company Subsidiary, (B) any loan or credit agreement or note or
               any bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement,
               instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license applicable
               to HIH or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or to which their
               respective properties or assets are bound or any guarantee by HIH
               or any of the Company Subsidiaries of any of the foregoing, (C)
               any joint venture or other ownership arrangement or any Material
               Contract or (D) assuming the consents, approvals, authorizations
               or permits and filings or

               timely obtained or made, any Law or Order applicable to or
               binding upon HIH or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any of
               their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case of
               clauses (B), (C) and (D), any such conflicts, violations,
               defaults, rights, Liens or detriments that, individually or in
               the aggregate, would not constitute a Company Material Adverse
               Effect.

                    (iii) Except as set forth in Section 2(d)(iii) of the
               Company Disclosure Letter, no consent, approval, order or
               authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with,
               notice to or permit from, any Governmental Entity, is required by
               or on behalf of HIH, or any of the Company Subsidiaries in
               connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the
               Transaction Documents by HIH to which it is a party, the purchase
               of the B Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (and any
               related documents including, but not limited to, the pledge
               agreement) by the parties thereto, or the consummation by HIH of
               the transactions with respect to the B Notes contemplated hereby
               or thereby, except for any such consent, approval, order,
               authorization, registration, declaration, filing or permit that
               the failure to obtain or make, individually or in the aggregate,
               would not constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.

               (e)  SEC DOCUMENTS.

                    (i)  HIH and Huntsman International LLC ("HI"), a Delaware
               limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of HIH,
               have made available to the GOF Parties a true and complete copy
               of each report and registration statement filed by HIH or HI with
               the SEC since inception and prior to or on the date hereof (the
               "COMPANY SEC DOCUMENTS"). HIH and HI have filed all of the
               Company SEC Documents required to be filed by them pursuant to
               the federal securities laws and the SEC rules and regulations
               thereunder. As of their respective dates, each of the Company SEC
               Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
               of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be,
               and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to
               such Company SEC Documents and none of the Company SEC Documents
               contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
               state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
               to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
               under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent
               such statements have been modified or superseded by later Company
               SEC Documents filed and publicly available prior to the date of
               this Representation and Indemnity Agreement. Neither HIH nor HI
               has any outstanding and unresolved comments from the SEC with
               respect to any of the Company SEC Documents and, as of the date
               hereof, neither HIH nor HI has received any notice of any pending
               investigation of HIH by the SEC. HIH and HI have made available
               to the GOF Parties copies of all Company SEC Documents that are
               subject to any confidential treatment request by HIH or HI.

                    (ii) The consolidated financial statements of HIH (including
               the notes thereto) included in the Company SEC Documents complied
               as to form in all

                                       7

<Page>

               material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and
               the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect
               thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
               accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis
               during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the
               notes thereto, or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as
               permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC) and fairly
               presented (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to
               normal, recurring adjustments, none of which are material), the
               consolidated financial position of HIH and the Company
               Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as of the dates set forth
               therein, and the consolidated statements of income and the
               consolidated cash flows of HIH and the Company Subsidiaries,
               taken as a whole, for the periods presented therein. No Company
               Subsidiary other than HI is required to make any filing with the
               SEC except for filings made by a Company Subsidiary solely due to
               the fact that it is a guarantor of HI or HIH.

                    (iii) The Units are not registered under Section 12 of the
               Exchange Act.

               (f)  ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES OR EVENTS.

                    (i)  Except as disclosed in Section 2(f)(i) of the Company
               Disclosure Letter, since March 31, 2002, HIH and the Company
               Subsidiaries have conducted their business only in the ordinary
               and usual course and in a manner consistent with past practice
               and, since such date, there has not been (A) any change, event,
               development or circumstance affecting the Company or any of the
               Company Subsidiaries that, individually, or in the aggregate has
               had a Company Material Adverse Effect, (B) any declaration,
               setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution
               (whether in cash, stock or property) with respect to any of HIH's
               Units or other equity securities of HIH or any Company Subsidiary
               other than intercompany dividends between or among Wholly Owned
               Company Subsidiaries, (C) any amendment of any term of any
               outstanding security of HIH or any Company Subsidiary, (D) any
               repurchase, redemption or other acquisition by HIH or any Company
               Subsidiary of any outstanding shares of stock or other securities
               of, or other ownership interests in, HIH or any Company
               Subsidiary which are held by a person or entity other than a
               Wholly Owned Company Subsidiary, or (E) any split, combination or
               reclassification of any of the Units or any issuance or the
               authorization of any issuance of any securities in respect of, in
               lieu of or in substitution for, or giving the right to acquire by
               exchange or exercise, Units.

                    (ii) Except as disclosed in Section 2(f)(ii) of the Company
               Disclosure Letter or in the Company SEC Documents, during the
               period from March 31, 2002 to the date of this Representation and
               Indemnity Agreement, there has not been any change by HIH or HI
               in its accounting methods, principles or practices, or any
               revaluation by HIH or HI of any of its assets, including, writing
               down the value of inventory or writing off notes or accounts
               receivable other than in the ordinary course of business.

               (g)  COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. Except as disclosed in
          Section 2(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter, HIH and the Company
          Subsidiaries hold all permits, licenses, certificates, registrations,
          variances, exemptions, orders, franchises and approvals of all
          Governmental Entities necessary or required by any applicable Law or
          Order for the lawful conduct of their respective businesses (together
          with any permits relating to the protection of the environment
          applicable to the properties, facilities or operations of the Company,
          the "COMPANY PERMITS"), except where the failure so to hold,
          individually or in the aggregate, does not and would not constitute a
          Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in Section 2(g)
          of the Company Disclosure Letter, HIH and the Company Subsidiaries are
          in compliance with the terms of the Company Permits, except where the
          failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate, does not and
          would not constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as
          disclosed in Section 2(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter and except
          as would not constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect, the
          businesses of HIH and the Company Subsidiaries are not being conducted
          in violation of any Law or Order. Except as disclosed in Section 2(g)
          of the Company Disclosure Letter, no investigation or review by any
          Governmental Entity with respect to HIH or any of the Company
          Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Knowledge of HIH, is threatened,
          other than those the outcome of which, individually or in the
          aggregate, would not constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.

               (h)  LITIGATION. Except as set forth in Section 2(h) of the
          Company Disclosure Letter, there are no claims, actions, suits or
          proceedings or, to the Knowledge of HIH, investigations, pending on
          behalf of or pending against or, and to the Knowledge of HIH, no
          claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations, threatened
          against HIH or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective
          properties, assets or rights before any court, arbitrator or
          administrative, governmental or regulatory authority or body, domestic
          or foreign, except for such claims, actions, suits, proceedings or
          investigations that would not, if adversely determined, have or be
          reasonably expected to have, individually and in the aggregate, a
          Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither HIH nor any Company
          Subsidiary is subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or
          decree which, individually or in the aggregate has, or which, insofar
          as reasonably can be foreseen, in the future would have a Company
          Material Adverse Effect or would prevent HIH or any Company Subsidiary
          from consummating the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
          Documents or impairing the ability of HIH to perform its obligations
          hereunder and thereunder.

               (i)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.

         Except for compensation and benefits received in the ordinary course of
         business as an employee or director of the Company or as described in
         the Company SEC Documents or as set forth in Section 2(i) of the
         Company Disclosure Letter, there are no material arrangements,
         agreements or contracts entered into by HIH or any of the Company
         Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and (i) Jon Huntsman, (ii) a relative of
         Jon Huntsman, (iii) any Person who is an executive officer or director
         of HC or to HIH's Knowledge, any executive officer, manager or director
         of a Company Subsidiary, any relative of the foregoing or an entity of
         which any of the foregoing individuals is an Affiliate or an

                                       9

<Page>

          Associate, and (iv) any manager of HIH, on the other hand. Copies of
          all such documents have been made available to the GOF Parties.

               (j)  LIST OF AGREEMENTS WITH ICI. Set forth in Section 2(k) of
          the Company Disclosure Letter is a list of all material agreements,
          arrangements, commitments or understandings, whether oral or in
          writing, of any nature, between or among: (i) the ICI Parent and/or
          its subsidiaries and/or Affiliates; and (ii) Huntsman Corporation
          and/or its subsidiaries and/or Affiliates (collectively, the "ICI
          AGREEMENTS"), other than agreements, arrangements, commitments or
          understandings which are (i) set forth in the Company SEC Documents or
          (ii) operational in nature and entered into in the ordinary course of
          business on terms that are no less favorable than those that might
          reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time
          on an arm's length basis.

               (k)  FULL DISCLOSURE. Neither this Representation and Indemnity
          Agreement, nor the Company Disclosure Letter contains any untrue
          statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to
          make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the
          circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

3    SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made
herein shall survive the execution of the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby until the second anniversary of the
date hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a claim,
demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to the Indemnified Person
based upon an allegation or allegations that HIH or any of its Affiliates
committed fraud or made a willful, knowing or intentional misrepresentation in
connection with this Letter Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby shall survive until the application of any applicable statute of
limitations.

4    INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  Generally. HIH shall indemnify the GOF Parties, their successors
     and assigns, and the respective officers, directors and managers of each of
     the foregoing (the "INDEMNIFIED PERSONS") from and against any and all
     losses, claims, shortages, damages, liabilities, expenses (including
     reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees), assessments, taxes (including
     interest or penalties thereon) sustained, suffered or incurred by any
     Indemnified Person arising from or in connection with any breach of any
     representation or warranty contained herein (subject to Section 4(e)
     hereof) or in the Private Sale Letter, or the breach of any agreement or
     covenant of the Company contained herein or in the Private Sale Letter
     ("LOSSES").

          (b)  Assertion of Claims. No claim shall be brought hereunder unless
     the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, give HIH (a) written notice of the
     existence of any such claim, specifying the nature and basis of such claim
     and the amount thereof, to the extent known, and the nature of the
     misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such claim is related or (b)
     written notice pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof of any third party claim,
     the existence of which might give rise to such a claim, specifying the
     nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known,
     and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such
     claim is related, but the failure so to

                                       10

<Page>

     provide either such notice to HIH will not relieve HIH from any liability
     which it may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or
     otherwise (unless and only to the extent that such failure results in the
     loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of HIH and it was not
     otherwise aware of such action or claim). Upon the giving of such written
     notice as aforesaid, the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall have
     the right to commence legal proceedings for the enforcement of their rights
     hereunder.

          (c)  Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims. Losses resulting from
     the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM")
     shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                           (i) The Indemnified Persons shall promptly give
                  written notice to HIH of any Third Party Claim that might give
                  rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Persons, stating the
                  nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount
                  thereof to the extent known, and the nature of the
                  misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such claim is
                  related. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all
                  relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim,
                  including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other
                  pleading that may have been served, any written demand or any
                  other document or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                  the failure to provide notice as aforesaid to HIH will not
                  relieve HIH from any liability which it may have to the
                  Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise (unless
                  and only to the extent that such failure results in the loss
                  or compromise of any rights or defenses of HIH and it was not
                  otherwise aware of such action or claim).

                           (ii) HIH shall be entitled to participate in the
                  defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the
                  limitations set forth in this Section 4(c), shall be entitled
                  to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each
                  case at its expense.

                           (iii) If HIH shall assume the control of the defense
                  of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of
                  this Section 4(c), HIH shall obtain the prior written consent
                  of the Indemnified Persons (which shall not be unreasonably
                  withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of
                  such Third Party Claim, if the settlement does not release the
                  Indemnified Persons from all liabilities and obligations with
                  respect to such Third Party Claim or the settlement imposes
                  injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified
                  Persons and the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to
                  participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to
                  employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. The
                  fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by
                  the Indemnified Persons.

                           (iv) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their
                  respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or
                  prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or
                  cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony,
                  and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,
                  trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in
                  connection therewith.

                                       11

          (d)  HIH shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Persons
     until such time as the aggregate Losses incurred or sustained by the
     Indemnified Persons exceed $10,000,000 and then the Indemnified Persons
     will only be entitled to indemnification with respect to that portion of
     its damages which exceeds $10,000,000. Notwithstanding anything contained
     herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of HIH for Damages
     under this Section 4 shall not exceed aggregate amount of consideration
     paid by the GOF Parties or their successors and assignees for the B Notes
     under the Purchase Agreement.

          (e)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4 to the
     contrary, a breach of representation or warranty by HIH or any of the
     Company Subsidiaries under Section 2 hereof shall be deemed not to have
     occurred if David Matlin and/or Chris Pechock had actual and specific
     knowledge of the fact that would have otherwise resulted in such breach by
     virtue of prior express disclosure of such fact by HIH, and that a
     reasonable person with knowledge of such fact would, in light of the manner
     and circumstance in which such fact was so disclosed, understand that such
     fact would result in a breach of such representation or warranty. HIH shall
     have the burden of proof in determining the existence of such knowledge.

waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party
to this Representation and Indemnity Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to: (a) the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 30,
1999, as amended by a letter agreement dated December 20, 2001 (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), between Huntsman International Holdings LLC,
formerly known as Huntsman ICI Holdings LLC (the "Issuer") and ICI Finance PLC,
(b) the Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of December 20, 2001 (the
"Indenture") between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as
successor trustee. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Company and the Issuer hereby acknowledge that upon the performance of the
transactions contemplated in the Sale and Purchase Agreement dated as of the
date hereof, among Imperial Chemical Industries PLC, ICI Americas Inc., ICI Alta
Inc., ICI Finance PLC (collectively, the "ICI Parties"), BNAC, Inc. ("BNAC") and
CSFB Global Opportunities Partners, L.P. ("GOF", and together with BNAC, the
"GOF Parties"), the Issuer will receive certain direct and indirect benefits
including, without limitation, assistance toward achieving key strategic
initiatives.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the
Issuer and the GOF Parties, hereto agree as follows:

1.   Each Party represents and warrants, that: (A) it is a corporation (in the
     case of GOF, a limited partnership), duly incorporated (in the case of GOF,
     duly organized), validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
     the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, as the case may
     be; (B) the execution, delivery and performance by such Party of this
     letter agreement is within its corporate powers and has been duly
     authorized

<Page>

     by all necessary corporate or partnership (as the case may be) action on
     the part of such Party; (D) this letter agreement constitutes a valid and
     binding agreement of such Party enforceable against such Party in
     accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
     relating to or affecting creditors generally, by general equity principles;
     and (E) the execution, delivery and performance by such Party of this
     letter agreement and the consummation of the transactions and actions
     contemplated hereby: (i) do not and will not violate its constitutional or
     organizational documents; (ii) do not violate any applicable law, rule,
     regulation, judgment, injunction, order or decree, constitute a default
     under, or (iii) give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or
     acceleration of any right or obligation of such Party or to a loss of any
     benefit to which such Party is entitled under any provision of any
     agreement or other instrument binding upon such Party, in each case except:
     (x) as explicitly set forth herein, or (y) for any such matters which would
     not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
     material adverse effect on the business, financial condition (including
     levels of working capital), results of operations, assets and liabilities
     of such Party.

2.   The GOF Parties represent and warrant to the Issuer that BNAC is a wholly
     owned subsidiary of GOF.

3.   At any time and from time to time after the date hereof until the GOF
     Parties and/or their affiliates have completed (x) the sale of all of their
     Registrable Notes or (y) the sale or other disposition of a majority of the
     voting or economic interest in any subsidiary or subsidiaries that,
     directly or indirectly, hold all of the Registrable Notes, the Issuer shall
     reasonably cooperate and assist the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates in
     any effort to pre-market the Registrable Notes, by making reasonably
     available the relevant senior management of the Issuer to participate in a
     reasonable number of due diligence conference calls with the GOF Parties
     and/or their affiliates and any prospective purchaser (subject to execution
     of a Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below)), and the provision of
     historical financial information to any prospective purchaser, PROVIDED
     that such activities shall be arranged so as to cause minimal disruption to
     such management personnel's work-related duties to the Issuer and its
     affiliates. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
     execution, delivery and performance (including without limitation the
     application of Section 6 of the Pledge Agreement dated as of the date
     hereof (the "Pledge Agreement")), by BNAC of the Pledge Agreement by and
     among BNAC, ICI Americas Inc. and ICI Finance PLC shall not be deemed a
     "sale" of the Registrable Notes hereunder until such time, if any, that the
     Registrable Notes are sold pursuant to Section 9 of the Pledge Agreement.

4.   At any time after the date hereof until the GOF Parties and/or their
     affiliates have completed (x) the sale of all of their Registrable Notes or
     (y) the sale or other disposition of a majority of the voting or economic
     interest in any subsidiary or subsidiaries that, directly or indirectly,
     hold all of the Registrable Notes, the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates
     shall be entitled to elect, by providing written notice of such election (a
     "Private Sale Notice") to the Issuer, to pursue a private sale of all or
     part of the Registrable Notes of the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates (a
     "Private Sale"), PROVIDED that the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates will
     not be deemed to have given (for the purposes of Section 4(b)

                                       2

<Page>

     of the Registration Rights Agreement and for purposes of the following
     paragraph), a Private Sale Notice with respect to which the Holders have
     withdrawn or cancelled such Private Sale Notice (i) at any time prior to
     the completion or preparation of an Information Memorandum described in
     Section 4(d) below (for the avoidance of doubt, the test under this clause
     (i) is completion of the Information Memorandum, not delivery thereof to
     any prospective purchaser) or (ii) at any time following the failure of any
     condition to the obligations of any purchaser to effect such Private Sale
     (other than any such failure which is caused by any action or failure to
     act on the part of any or all of the Holders) which are set forth in any
     written purchase agreement entered into, inter alia, between GOF Parties
     and/or any of their affiliates, on the one hand, and such prospective
     purchaser, on the other hand (it being understood and agreed that the
     failure or inability of GOF Parties, any of their affiliates or any
     prospective purchaser to enter into a purchase agreement shall not
     constitute a failure of any condition for the purposes of this clause
     (ii)).

     The GOF Parties and/or their affiliates shall be entitled to give up to
     seven Private Sale Notices and the Issuer shall be obligated to participate
     in up to six Private Sale Roadshows (as defined below) in the aggregate
     pursuant to this letter agreement PROVIDED that:

               1.   no more than three Private Sale Notices may be given within
                    any two year period and no more than two Private Sale
                    Notices may be given in any one year period,

               2.   each Registration effected pursuant to the Registration
                    Rights Agreement shall reduce by one the number of Private
                    Sale Notices that GOF Parties and/or their affiliates can
                    give hereunder, and

               3.   each roadshow which occurs pursuant to the Registration
                    Rights Agreement shall be counted as a Private Sale Roadshow
                    hereunder.

               For  the avoidance of doubt, the GOF Parties and/or their
               affiliates may:

               (x)  subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein,
                    give two Private Sale Notices even if all six Registrations
                    under the Registration Rights Agreement (either by giving a
                    Demand Notice, Rule 144A Notice or Private Sale Notice) have
                    been effected, and

               (y)  subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein,
                    instruct the Issuer to participate in two Private Sale
                    Roadshows even if all four roadshows under the Registration
                    Rights Agreement have occurred.

         In connection with a Private Sale, the Issuer will comply with the
         provisions of Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement to the
         extent that such provisions would be customary for a private sale
         transaction (including, without limitation, the requirements of
         paragraphs (a)-(i) below), and will also reasonably cooperate with and
         assist the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates in any such Private Sale
         by using its reasonable best efforts, as expeditiously as practicable,
         to:

                                       3

<Page>

          (a)  subject to the requisite consent, if any, of any Member (as
               defined in the Issuer's LLC Agreement) of the Issuer, enter into
               a purchase agreement relating to a purchase of the Registrable
               Notes, which agreement will contain terms and conditions
               customary in transactions of a similar kind, and in which the
               Issuer will give such representations, warranties and indemnities
               and obtain such opinions of the Issuer's counsel and accountants'
               comfort letters as are customary in private sale transactions;

          (b)  in the event that the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates shall
               sell all of the Registrable Notes to one or more purchasers in a
               single transaction, the Issuer shall enter into a registration
               rights agreement with such purchasers relating to the Registrable
               Notes substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
               "Purchasers' Registration Rights Agreement") and upon execution
               and delivery of the Purchasers' Registration Rights Agreement,
               the Issuer's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement
               and under this letter agreement shall automatically terminate and
               the Issuer shall have no further liability or obligation
               thereunder or hereunder;

          (c)  prior to the first sale by the GOF Parties or any of their
               affiliates of any Registrable Notes, negotiate in good faith with
               regard to any reasonable changes proposed by the prospective
               purchasers to the Indenture and the Purchasers' Registration
               Rights Agreement, PROVIDED that the Issuer will not be obligated
               to agree to any such changes that (i) would be detrimental to the
               Issuer's or the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates' interest,
               respectively (except in any immaterial respect) and (ii) would
               constitute a "significant modification" as determined under U.S.
               Treasury Regulations SEC 1.1001-3), in each case, in the
               reasonable judgment of the Issuer;

          (d)  prepare an information memorandum and any necessary or
               appropriate amendment or supplement thereto (the "Information
               Memorandum") regarding the business, operations and prospects of
               the Issuer, including a review of the Issuer's historical and
               projected financial information by business unit. The Information
               Memorandum will, once approved by the Issuer, be provided by the
               GOF Parties and/or their affiliates to prospective purchasers on
               a strictly confidential basis, PROVIDED that the Information
               Memorandum will not be provided to a Holder (whether or not a
               Member of the Issuer as defined in the Issuer's LLC Agreement),
               any prospective purchaser or any other person who has not entered
               into a written confidentiality agreement with respect thereto and
               to any other confidential information provided by the Issuer or
               its advisors, including any such information provided or obtained
               pursuant to this letter agreement, that is customary for a
               private sale transaction and reasonably satisfactory, in form and
               substance, to the Issuer (each, a "Confidentiality Agreement").
               The Issuer will be responsible for the contents of the
               Information Memorandum, subject to normal exceptions, including
               any forward looking information contained therein, which will be
               prepared in good faith;

                                       4

          (e)  subject to execution of Confidentiality Agreements, provide for
               review any information provided to any of the Issuer's lenders,
               or to the lenders of any of the Issuer's principal operating
               subsidiaries, within the past 12 months;

          (f)  subject to execution of Confidentiality Agreements, provide all
               information and documentation reasonably requested by a
               prospective purchaser and its counsel in connection with their
               investigation of the Issuer's business, financial performance and
               prospects, including, without limitation, everything to be
               provided to Inspectors pursuant to Section 5(p) of the
               Registration Rights Agreement;

          (g)  subject to execution of Confidentiality Agreements,

               (i)  as reasonably determined by the Issuer, make the appropriate
                    senior management of the Issuer (including, without
                    limitation, the Issuer's CFO and Treasurer) and each of the
                    Issuer's principal business units available to participate
                    in conference calls, meetings at the offices of the Issuer
                    (or such other places as agreed between the parties and such
                    other marketing support activities for the Registrable Notes
                    to be sold under this letter agreement, PROVIDED that in
                    each case under this clause (i) such activities shall be
                    arranged so as to cause minimal disruption to such
                    management personnel's work-related duties to the Issuer and
                    its affiliates, and PROVIDED FURTHER that upon receipt of a
                    written notice from the Issuer that the activities proposed
                    by the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates, any prospective
                    purchaser or anyone acting on behalf of any of the foregoing
                    would exceed the level of cooperation from the Issuer
                    described in this clause (i) with respect to any member of
                    the Issuer's senior management (other than the Issuer's CFO
                    and Treasurer), the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates may
                    (1) instruct the Issuer to participate in a Private Sale
                    Roadshow (as described in (ii) below) or (2) instruct the
                    Issuer not to exceed the level of cooperation from the
                    Issuer described under this clause (i), PROVIDED that in the
                    circumstances referred to in this clause (2), the Issuer
                    agrees that for a period of 15 business days following such
                    instruction the Issuer will continue to cooperate to the
                    extent such cooperation is required under this clause (i) in
                    order to allow a prospective purchaser an opportunity to
                    complete a Private Sale, or

               (ii) at the request of the GOF Parties and/or their affiliates,

                    (A)  as reasonably determined by the Issuer, make reasonably
                         available the appropriate senior management of the
                         Issuer and each of the Issuer's principal business
                         units for discussions concerning their respective
                         businesses and prospects, with a view to providing all
                         reasonable assistance to the due diligence efforts of a
                         prospective purchaser and its advisors, and

                    (B)  make reasonable arrangements for site visits to
                         facilities operated by the Issuer and each of its
                         principal business units for any

                         prospective purchaser and its advisors (it being agreed
                         by the parties that the activities described in clause
                         (ii)(A) and (B) together constitute a "Private Sale
                         Roadshow");

          (h)  subject to execution of Confidentiality Agreements, provide the
               information and consultation rights necessary for a prospective
               purchaser to qualify as a venture capital operating company
