DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ Corporation's direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of a guarantee of certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. Substantially all of our other debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International). ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýCertain of our subsidiaries are designated as nonguarantor subsidiaries and have third-party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOur obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and certain of our foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors"), and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

A/R Programs

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOur U.S. accounts receivable securitization program ("U.S. A/R Program") and our European accounts receivable securitization program ("EU A/R Program" and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program, "A/R Programs") are structured so that we transfer certain of our trade receivables to the U.S. special purpose entity ("U.S. SPE") and the European special purpose entity ("EU SPE") in transactions intended to be true sales or true contributions. The receivables collateralize debt incurred by the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE. Information regarding our A/R Programs as of SeptemberÌý30, 2015 was as follows (monetary amounts in millions):

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring the three months ended MarchÌý31, 2015, we entered into amendments to our A/R Programs that, among other things, extend the scheduled commitment termination dates and reduce the applicable borrowing margins. As of SeptemberÌý30, 2015 and DecemberÌý31, 2014, $463Ìýmillion and $472Ìýmillion, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of SeptemberÌý30, 2015, we had outstanding the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn MarchÌý31, 2015, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International completed a â‚�300Ìýmillion (approximately $326Ìýmillion) offering of 4.25% senior notes due AprilÌý1, 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes"). On AprilÌý17, 2015, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International applied the net proceeds of this offering to redeem $289Ìýmillion ($294Ìýmillion carrying value) of its 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2021 ("2021 Senior Subordinated Notes").

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe 2025 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.25% per year, payable semi-annually on AprilÌý1 and OctoberÌý1, and are due on AprilÌý1, 2025. ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to JanuaryÌý1, 2025 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2025 Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International and are guaranteed on a general unsecured senior basis by the Guarantors. The indentures impose certain limitations on the ability of ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of nonguarantor subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2025 Senior Notes will have the right to require that ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International purchase all or a portion of such holder's notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring the nine months ended SeptemberÌý30, 2015, we redeemed or repurchased the following notes (dollars in millions):

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý

Variable Interest Entity Debt

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of SeptemberÌý30, 2015, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $148Ìýmillion outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. On AprilÌý29, 2015, Arabian Amines Company obtained a waiver of certain financial covenants from the lender as well as a waiver of prior noncompliance under the debt financing agreements. As of SeptemberÌý30, 2015, Arabian Amines Company is in compliance with its debt financing arrangements and we have classified $16Ìýmillion as current debt and $132Ìýmillion as long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). We do not guarantee these loan commitments and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations.

Other Debt

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn JulyÌý24, 2015, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ Polyurethanes Shanghai ("HPS"), our consolidated splitting joint venture, entered into a financing arrangement to fund the construction of our MDI plant in China. As part of the financing, HPS has secured commitments of a RMB 669Ìýmillion (approximately $105Ìýmillion) term loan and a RMB 423Ìýmillion (approximately $66Ìýmillion) working capital facility. These facilities are unsecured, and we do not provide a guarantee of these loan commitments. We expect to begin drawing down on these facilities by the end of the year.

Note Payable from ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International to ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ Corporation

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of SeptemberÌý30, 2015, we had a loan of $895Ìýmillion to our subsidiary, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International (the "Intercompany Note"). The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100Ìýmillion of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of SeptemberÌý30, 2015 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of SeptemberÌý30, 2015, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Program, less 10 basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOur material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOur Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant (the "Leverage Covenant") which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is calculated at the ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIf in the future ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.
