requested by the Trustee, except as otherwise required by applicable law)
remit the balance then standing to the credit of the Senior Collateral
Account to the Trustee for deposit into the Junior Collateral Account.

         number of shares of all other classes of capital stock of each
         Restricted Issuer then issued and outstanding.

                  (2) Voting and Other Rights. So long as no Event of
                      -----------------------
         Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Securing Parties
         shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other
         powers of ownership pertaining to the Stock Collateral for all
         purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
         Solutia Credit Agreement or any other instrument or agreement
         referred to herein or therein, provided that the Securing Parties

         jointly and severally agree that they will not vote the Stock

         for the purpose of enabling the Securing Parties to exercise the
         rights and powers that they are entitled to exercise pursuant to
         this Section 5.04(a)(2).

                  (3) Dividends. Unless and until an Event of Default has

         Secured Party exercises any available right to declare any Junior
         Secured Obligation due and payable or seeks or pursues any other
         relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under or
         in respect of this Agreement or the 2009 Notes

         Indenture, all dividends and other distributions on the Stock
         Collateral shall be paid directly to the Applicable Secured Party
         and retained by it in the applicable Collateral Account as part of
         the Stock Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and,
         if the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior Security Documents
         (at all times prior to the Senior Payment Date) or the Trustee (at
         any time on or after the Senior Payment Date) shall so request in
         writing, the Securing Parties jointly and severally agree to
         execute and deliver to the Applicable Secured Party appropriate
         additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents
         to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any
                      --------
         such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Trustee
         shall, upon request of the Securing Parties (except to the extent
         theretofore applied to the Junior Secured Obligations), be
         returned by the Trustee to the Securing Parties.

                  (b) Intellectual Property.
                      ---------------------

                  (1) For the purpose of enabling the Trustee to exercise
         rights and remedies under Section 5.05 at such time as the Trustee
         shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies,
         and for no other purpose, each Securing Party hereby grants to the
         Trustee, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive
         right (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation
         to such Securing Party) to use, assign, license or sublicense any
         of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by
         such Securing Party, wherever the same may be located, including in
         such right reasonable access to all media in which any of the
         Intellectual Property may be recorded or stored and to all computer
         programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

                  (2) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
         contrary, the Securing Parties will be permitted to exploit, use,
         enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or
         take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the
         ordinary course of the business of the Securing Parties. In
         furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have
         occurred and be continuing the Trustee shall from time to time,
         upon the request of the respective Securing Party, execute and
         deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the
         form so requested, that such Securing Party through the Company
         shall have certified are appropriate (in its judgment) to allow it
         to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the
         right provided pursuant to clause (1) immediately above as to any
         specific Intellectual Property). Further, upon the payment in full
         of all of the Junior Secured Obligations or earlier expiration of
         this Agreement or release of the Collateral, the Trustee shall
         grant back to the Securing Parties the right granted pursuant to
         clause (1) immediately above. The exercise of rights and remedies
         under Section 5.05 by the Trustee shall not terminate the rights of
         the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by
         the Securing Parties in accordance with the first sentence of this
         clause (2).

                  (3) At all times prior to the Senior Payment Date, the
         Securing Parties shall furnish to the Trustee copies of any
         statements and schedules delivered pursuant to Section 5(h)(i) of
         the Senior Security Agreement to the Collateral Agent, and, upon
         any modification of the Senior Security Agreement to supplement
         Schedule II of the Senior Security Documents, will similarly
         supplement Annexes 4, 5 and 6 hereto. At all times on and after the
         Senior Payment Date, the Securing Parties will furnish to the
         Trustee from time to time (but, unless a Default (as defined in the
         2009 Notes Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, no
         more frequently than semi-annually) statements and

         Collateral, the Patent Collateral and the Trademark Collateral,
         respectively, and such other reports in connection with the
         Copyright Collateral, the Patent Collateral and the Trademark
         Collateral as the Trustee may reasonably request, all in
         reasonable detail; and promptly upon request of the Trustee,
         following receipt by the Trustee of any statements, schedules or
         reports pursuant to this clause (3), modify this Agreement by
         amending Annexes 4, 5 and/or 6, as the case may be, to include any
         Copyright, Patent or Trademark that becomes part of the Collateral
         under this Agreement.

                 5.05 Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which
                      ----------------------
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but subject in
each case to the applicable provisions of the Junior Intercreditor
Agreement:

                  (a) each Securing Party shall, at the request of the
         Trustee, assemble the Collateral owned by it at such place or
         places, reasonably convenient to both the Trustee and such Securing
         Party, designated in the Trustee's request;

                  (b) the Trustee may make any reasonable compromise or
         settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral
         and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
         installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the
         Collateral;

                  (c) the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies
         with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform
         Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in
         effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are
         asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a
         secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any
         jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be
         asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by
         applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers
         of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Trustee were
         the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Securing Party agrees
         to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to
         such right);

                  (d) the Trustee in its discretion may, in its name or in
         the name of any Securing Party or otherwise, demand, sue for,
         collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or
         receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral,
         but shall be under no obligation to do so; and

                  (e) the Trustee may, upon ten Business Days' prior written
         notice to the Securing Parties of the time and place, with respect
         to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall
         thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the
         Trustee, the other Junior Secured Parties or any of their
         respective agents, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all
         or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the
         Trustee deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future
         delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or
         private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention
         to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof
         (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute
         and cannot be waived), and the Trustee or any other Junior Secured
         Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or
         recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any
         public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private
         sale) and thereafter, to the fullest extent

         permitted by law, hold the same absolutely, free from any
         claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity
         of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Securing Parties,
         any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly
         waived and released, to the fullest extent permitted by law. In
         the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of
         the Trademark Collateral, the goodwill connected with and
         symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject to such disposition
         shall be included, and the Securing Parties shall supply to the
         Trustee or its designee, for inclusion in such sale, assignment or
         other disposition, all Intellectual Property relating to such
         Trademark Collateral. The Trustee may, without notice or
         publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same
         to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
         place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
         place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this
Section 5.05 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.09.

                  The Securing Parties recognize that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
applicable state securities laws, the Trustee may be compelled, with respect
to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to
those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for
their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. The Securing Parties acknowledge that any such private sales
may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Trustee than those
obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the
Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation
to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to
permit the Company or issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the
payment in full of the Junior Secured Obligations, the Securing Parties
shall remain liable for any deficiency.

                  5.07 Locations; Names. Without at least 30 days' prior
                       ----------------
written notice to the Trustee, no Securing Party shall change its "location"
(as defined in Section 9-307 of the Uniform Commercial Code) or change its
name from the name shown as its current legal name on Annex 1.

                  5.08 Private Sale. The Trustee and the Junior Secured
                       ------------
Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral,
or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.05 conducted
in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Securing Party hereby waives any
claims against the Trustee or any other Junior Secured Party arising by
reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold
at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the
Junior Secured Obligations, even if the Trustee accepts the first offer
received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

                  5.09 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein
                       -----------------------
expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other
realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant

                          Junior Security Agreement

hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Trustee under this
Section 5, shall be applied by the Trustee:

                  First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such
                  -----
         collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable
         out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Trustee and the fees and
         expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and
         advances made by the Trustee in connection therewith;

                  Second, to the payment in full of the Junior Secured
                  ------
         Obligations in such manner of application as required under the
         2009 Notes Indenture; and

                  Finally, to the payment to the respective Securing
                  -------
         Parties, or their respective successors or assigns, or as a court
         of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then
         remaining.

                  5.10 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or
                       ----------------
powers granted by this Agreement to the Trustee while no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default the Trustee is hereby appointed, subject
to the rights of the applicable Senior Agent under the Senior Security
Documents, the attorney-in-fact of each Securing Party for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Section 5 and taking any action and
executing any instruments which the Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as
attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Trustee shall be
entitled under this Section 5 to make collections in respect of the
Collateral, the Trustee shall have the right and power to receive, endorse
and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Securing Party
representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

                  5.11 Perfection. Prior to or concurrently with the
                       ----------
execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Securing Party shall (i) file
such financing statements and other documents in such offices as the Trustee
may reasonably request to perfect the security interests granted by Section
3 of this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Applicable Secured Party all
certificates evidencing any of the Pledged Stock, accompanied by undated
stock powers duly executed in blank, and, to the extent required by Section
3(b), all promissory notes and other instruments evidencing any Pledged Debt
identified in Annex 8 and (iii) execute and deliver such short form
assignments or security agreements relating to Collateral consisting of the
Intellectual Property as the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior
Security Documents (at all times prior to the Senior Payment Date) or the
Trustee (at any time on or after the Senior Payment Date) may reasonably
request. Without limiting the foregoing, each Securing Party consents that
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be filed describing the
Collateral as set forth in Section 3.

                  5.12 Termination.
                       -----------

                  (a) When all Junior Secured Obligations shall have been

         receipt but without any recourse, warranty or

         received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective
         Securing Party.

                  (b) This Agreement may be terminated by the Company and
         the Trustee upon a new senior credit facility being entered into by
         the Company which is a "Credit Facility" under and as defined in
         the 2009 Notes Indenture, but is not the Solutia Credit Agreement
         (as defined hereunder), provided that substantially
         contemporaneously therewith a replacement of this Agreement and the
         Junior Intercreditor Agreement are entered into on substantially
         the same terms hereof and thereof, which new agreements shall
         reflect the new parties thereto (and shall be on terms not any less
         favorable to the Trustee and the 2009 Noteholders than the terms
         hereof and thereof); provided, that the Trustee shall be entitled
         to receive (a) written instructions directing it to terminate this
         Agreement and (b) such other documents as it may reasonably request
         or require evidencing that the terms of such new agreements are not
         any less favorable to the Trustee and the 2009 Noteholders than the
         terms hereof and thereof; provided further that nothing herein
         shall require the Collateral Agent to deliver any such instructions
         or directions.

The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, also execute and deliver
to the respective Securing Party upon such termination such Uniform
Commercial Code termination statements and such other documentation as shall
be reasonably requested by the respective Securing Party to effect the
termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral.

                  5.13 Further Assurances. Each Securing Party agrees that,
                       ------------------
from time to time upon the written request of the Trustee, such Securing
Party will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts
and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order fully to
effect the purposes of this Agreement.
