ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International

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.

Amendment to Credit Agreement

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn MarchÌý11, 2013, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International entered into an eighth amendment to its Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment provided for an additional term loan of $225Ìýmillion, the net proceeds of which were used to repay in full the remaining $193Ìýmillion principal amount outstanding under our Term Loan B and for general corporate purposes. The additional term loan was recorded at its carrying value of $224Ìýmillion as of MarchÌý31, 2013. The additional term loan has identical terms to our Extended Term Loan B.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn connection with this debt repayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1Ìýmillion.

Senior Credit Facilities

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of MarchÌý31, 2013, our Senior Credit Facilities consisted of our revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility"), Extended Term Loan B, our extended term loan B facility—seriesÌý2 ("Extended Term Loan B—SeriesÌý2") and our term loan C facility ("Term Loan C") as follows (dollars in millions):

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.

Amendments to A/R Programs

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn AprilÌý29, 2013, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International entered into an amendment to the EU A/R Program. This amendment, among other things, extends the scheduled commitment termination date of the EU A/R Program by two years to April 2016 and reduces the applicable margin on borrowings to 1.35%.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn AprilÌý29, 2013, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International entered into an amendment to the U.S. A/R Program. This amendment, among other things, extends the scheduled commitment termination date of the U.S. A/R Program by two years to April 2016, provides for additional availability under the U.S. A/R program and reduces the applicable margin on borrowings to 1.10%.

Notes

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn MarchÌý4, 2013, pursuant to an indenture entered into on NovemberÌý19, 2012, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International issued $250Ìýmillion aggregate principal amount of additional 2020 Senior Notes. The notes are recorded at carrying value of $246Ìýmillion as of MarchÌý31, 2013. ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International applied the net proceeds to redeem the remaining $200Ìýmillion in aggregate principal amount of its 2016 Senior Notes, to pay associated accrued interest and for general corporate purposes.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe 2020 Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.875% per year payable semi-annually on MayÌý15 and NovemberÌý15 of each year, beginning on MayÌý15, 2013 and are due on NovemberÌý15, 2020. ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International may redeem the 2020 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to AugustÌý17, 2020 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe 2020 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 indenture with respect to the 2020 Senior Notes imposes 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 Senior Notes will have the right to require that ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International purchase all or a portion of such holder's 2020 Senior 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.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of MarchÌý31, 2013, we had outstanding the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring the three months ended MarchÌý31, 2013 and 2012, we redeemed or repurchased the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

Variable Interest Entity Debt

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of MarchÌý31, 2013, Arabian Amines Company had $179Ìýmillion outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, is currently not in compliance with payment and other obligations under these loan commitments. We do not guarantee these loan commitments and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations, and the non-compliance with these financial covenants does not affect any of our other debt obligations. We are currently in discussions with the lenders under these loan commitments and expect to resolve the noncompliance. As of MarchÌý31, 2013, the amounts outstanding under these loan commitments were classified as current on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

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

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of MarchÌý31, 2013, we have a loan of $840Ìýmillion 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 MarchÌý31, 2013 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of MarchÌý31, 2013, 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. However, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, is currently not in compliance with payment and other obligations under its loan commitments. See "—Variable Interest Entity Debt" above.

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 tested 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.
