(b)

Each Offer Letter delivered by an Originator pursuant to Clause 2.1(a) shall:

(iv): constitute an offer by such Originator to sell (by way of an equitable assignment) to the Purchaser absolutely with full title guarantee (other than to the extent such full title guarantee would be inconsistent with the representations made by the Originator when making an Offer) all of the Originator's beneficial right, title and interest in and to the Receivables (and the related benefit of any guarantees referable thereto) to which such Offer relates at the related Purchase Price calculated in accordance with Clause 2.4 and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c): Each Receivable comprised in an Offer shall for the purposes of calculating the related Purchase Price in accordance with Clause 2.4 be deemed to be an Eligible Receivable, unless otherwise specified in such Offer Letter.

2.2

Acceptance of Offers

(a): Immediately upon receipt of the Offer Letter and UK Originator Daily Report, the Master Servicer shall print off such Offer Letter and UK Originator Daily Report in full. Immediately upon completion of such printing out the Master Servicer shall send a Notification to the Purchaser. Only after receiving such Notification from the Master Servicer and only after the Purchaser has printed out such Notification in full may the Purchaser accept the Offer.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the Purchaser shall not be obliged to accept any Offers.
(b): Each Offer may be accepted by the Purchaser only with respect to the Receivables specified in the relevant Offer Letter and any purported form of acceptance of an Offer otherwise than in the manner specified in this Clause 2 shall be null and void and of no effect (and for the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Agreement or in any Offer Letter or in any other document shall of itself operate so as to convey or transfer to any person any beneficial interest in any Receivables).
(c): Each Offer shall, immediately upon sending, be irrevocable and binding on the relevant Originator until (if not accepted before such time) close of business (New York time) five (5) Business Days following the date when such Offer is sent (or such longer period of time for acceptance as may be agreed upon by the relevant Originator and the Master Servicer on behalf of the Purchaser) when such Offer shall lapse.

Such instructions or direction shall be copied to the Master Servicer provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the copying of such instructions or directions to the Master Servicer shall not be a condition precedent to the formation of any agreement for the sale of any assets which are the subject of any Offer.

2.3

Assignment of Receivables and Perfection

(c): Subject to Clause 2.3(d), the Originator and the Purchaser in order to secure the Company's interest in the Receivables and the performance of its obligations in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, the Pooling Agreement and any related Supplement and any accepted Offer hereby agree to enter into the Security Power of Attorney referred to in the Closing Documents List in a form appended to the Third Schedule of this Agreement.
(d): Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 6.3(b), all parties hereto (including the Purchaser as the donee of the Security Power of Attorney) hereby agree that none of the powers conferred pursuant to such Security Power of Attorney may at any time be exercised unless at such time the Originator Termination Date has been declared.

2.4

Purchase Price

(a): The Purchase Price of the Eligible Receivables which are the subject of an Offer shall be equal to the product of (a) the aggregate Outstanding Face Amounts of Eligible Receivables as set forth in the applicable UK Originator Daily Report delivered in accordance with Clause 2.1 of this Agreement and (b) one hundred per cent (100%) minus the Discounted Percentage.

(b): The Master Servicer shall, immediately on receipt of an Offer pursuant to Clauses 2.1(b) print out in full the Offer Letter and UK Originator Daily Report and immediately upon completion of such printing out deliver a Notification to the Purchaser:

2.5

Trust

(a): If for any reason any Receivable which is the subject of an accepted Offer cannot be duly assigned to the Purchaser as contemplated hereby then with effect from the date of the purported assignment thereof the Originator shall hold the same and all Collections related thereto on trust absolutely for the Purchaser.
(b): The provisions of (a) above shall be without prejudice to any obligations or representations of the Originator hereunder in respect of any such Receivables.

2.6: No Repurchase

Subject to Clause 2.8, no Originator shall have any right or obligation under this Agreement, by implication or otherwise, to repurchase from the Purchaser any Receivables or other Receivable Assets related to such Receivables or to rescind or otherwise retroactively effect any purchase of any such Receivables or other Receivable Assets related to such Receivables after the Purchase Date relating thereto, provided that the foregoing shall not be interpreted to limit the right of the Company to receive an Originator Dilution Adjustment Payment, an Originator Adjustment Payment or an Originator Indemnification Payment.

2.7: Rebates, Adjustments, Returns, Reductions and Modifications

From time to time an Originator may make a Dilution Adjustment to a Receivable in accordance with this Clause 2.7 and Clause 5.2, provided that if such Originator cancels an invoice related to such Receivable, either (i) such invoice must be replaced, or be caused to be replaced, by the Originator with an invoice relating to the same transaction of equal or greater Principal Amount on the same Business Day that such cancellation was made, (ii) such invoice must be replaced, or be caused to be replaced, by the relevant Originator with an invoice relating to the same transaction of a lesser Principal Amount on the same Business Day that such cancellation was made and the Originator must make an Originator Dilution Adjustment Payment, to the Purchaser, in an amount equal to the difference between such cancelled and replacement invoices or (iii) the Originator must make an Originator Dilution Adjustment Payment, to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the full value of such cancelled invoice pursuant to this Clause 2.7. Each Originator agrees to pay to the Purchaser, on the Purchase Date immediately succeeding the date any Dilution Adjustment is granted or made pursuant hereto by such Originator, the amount of any such Dilution Adjustment (an "Originator Dilution Adjustment Payment"). The amount of any Dilution Adjustment shall be set forth on the first Daily Report prepared after the date on which such Dilution Adjustment was granted or made.

2.8

Payments in Respect of Ineligible Receivables and Originator Indemnification Payments

(a): In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Clauses 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(c), 3.3(d) or 3.3(f) in respect of any Receivable sold hereunder or if the Purchaser's interest in any Receivable is not a full beneficial ownership, the relevant Originator shall, within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such breach or defect from the Purchaser, remedy the matter giving rise to such breach of representation or warranty if such matter is capable of being remedied. If such matter is not capable of being remedied or is not so remedied within said period of 30 days, such Originator upon request of the

Purchaser shall repurchase the relevant Receivable from the Purchaser at a repurchase price (without duplication of any Originator Dilution Adjustment Payments made pursuant to Clause 2.7 hereof), equal to the original Principal Amount of such Receivable less Collections received by the Purchaser in respect of such Receivable (the "Originator Adjustment Payment"). Upon the payment of an Originator Adjustment Payment hereunder, the Purchaser shall automatically agree to pay to the relevant Originator all Collections received subsequent to such repurchase with respect to such repurchased Receivable. The parties agree that if there is a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Originator contained in Clause 3.3(a), 3.3(b) or 3.3(c) in respect of or concerning any Receivable, the Originator's obligation to pay the Originator Adjustment Payment under this Clause 2.8 is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty (and neither the Purchaser nor any other person or entity having an interest in this Agreement through the Purchaser shall be entitled to any other remedies as a consequence of any such breach).

(b): Special Indemnification In addition to its obligations under Clause 7.2, each Originator agrees to pay, indemnify and hold harmless (without duplication of any Originator Dilution Adjustment Payments made pursuant to Clause 2.7 hereof) the Purchaser from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Purchaser in any way relating to or arising out of (i) any Receivable attributable to such Originator becoming subject to any defence, dispute, offset or counterclaim of any kind (other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Pooling Agreement or any Supplement) or (ii) such Originator breaching any covenant contained herein with respect to any Receivable (each of the foregoing events or circumstances being an "Originator Indemnification Event"), and such Receivable (or a portion thereof) ceasing to be an Eligible Receivable on the date on which such Originator Indemnification Event occurs. The amount of such indemnification shall be equal to the original Principal Amount of such Receivable less Collections received by the Purchaser in respect of such Receivable (the "Originator Indemnification Payment"). Such payment shall be made on or prior to the tenth Business Day after the day the Purchaser requests such payment or the Originator obtains knowledge thereof unless such Originator Indemnification Event shall have been cured on or before such tenth Business Day, provided, however, that in the event that (x) an Originator Termination Event with respect to an Originator has occurred and is continuing or (y) the Purchaser shall be required to make a payment with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Clause 2.7 of the Contribution Agreement and the Purchaser has insufficient funds to make such a payment, the Originator shall make such payment immediately. The Purchaser shall have no further remedy against the Originator in respect of such an Originator Indemnification Event unless the Originator fails to make an Originator Indemnification Payment on or prior to such tenth Business Day or on such earlier day in accordance with the proviso set forth in this Clause 2.8(b). Upon the making of an Originator Indemnification Payment, the Purchaser shall automatically agree to pay to the Originator all Collections received subsequent to such payment with respect to the Receivable in respect of which an Originator Indemnification Payment is made.

2.9: Certain Charges

The Originators and the Purchaser hereby agree that late charge revenue, reversals of discounts, other fees and charges and other similar items, whenever created, accrued in respect of Receivables shall be the property of the Purchaser notwithstanding the occurrence of an Early Termination and all Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and treated as Collections in respect of the Receivables transferred, conveyed, assigned and sold to the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 2 hereof.

2.10: Certain Allocations

Each Originator, as Local Servicer, hereby agrees that if it can attribute a Collection to a specific Obligor and a specific Receivable, then such Collection shall be applied to pay such Receivable of such Obligor, provided, however, that if it cannot attribute a Collection to a specific Receivable, then such Collection shall be applied to pay the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of maturity of such Receivables, beginning with the Receivable that has been outstanding the shortest and ending with the Receivable that has been outstanding the longest.

5.5: Ineligible Receivables

Without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, take any action which to its knowledge would cause, or would permit, a Receivable that was designated as an Eligible Receivable on the Purchase Date relating to such Receivable to cease to be an Eligible Receivable, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement.

5.6: Business of the Originator

(c)

Each Originator agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of Program Termination Event as described in Clauses 6.2(a) or (b)(i):

The rights, remedies, powers

and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

7.10: Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Purchaser.

7.11

Jurisdiction

(a): Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees for the benefit of each other party that the courts of England shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding,

and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with the Transaction Documents and, for such purposes, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

(b): Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection which it might now or hereafter have to the courts referred to in Clause 7.11(a) being nominated as the forum to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with any Transaction Document and agrees not to claim that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum.
(c): The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Clause 7.11(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of any person to take proceedings against any other party hereto in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(d): The Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints Tioxide Europe Limited of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ to accept service of any process on its behalf and further undertakes to the other parties hereto that it will at all times during the continuance of this Agreement maintain the appointment of some person in England as its agent for the service of process and irrevocably agrees that service of any writ, notice or other document for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding in the courts of England shall be duly served upon it if delivered or sent by registered post to the address of such appointee (or to other such address in England as that party may notify to the other parties hereto).

7.12

No Bankruptcy Petition

(a): Each Originator, by entering into this Agreement, covenants and agrees, to the extent permissible under applicable law, that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganisation, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings (including, but not limited to, petitioning for the declaration of the Purchaser's assets en désastre) under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.
(b): Notwithstanding anything elsewhere herein contained, the sole remedy of an Originator or any other Person in respect of any obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement of the Purchaser under or related to this Agreement shall be against the assets of the Purchaser. Neither the Originator nor any other Person shall have any claim against the Purchaser to the extent that such assets are insufficient to meet such obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement (the difference being referred to herein as a "shortfall") and all claims in respect of the shortfall shall be extinguished.

7.13: Termination

This Agreement will terminate at such time as (a) the Purchaser is required to cease accepting any offer hereunder pursuant to Clause 6.2 and (b) all Receivables have been collected, and the proceeds thereof turned over to the Purchaser and all other amounts owing to the Purchaser hereunder shall have been paid in full or, if Receivables have not been collected, such Receivables have become Defaulted Receivables and the Purchaser shall have completed its collection efforts in respect thereto, provided, however, that the indemnities of an Originator to the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall survive such termination and provided further that, to the extent any amounts remain due and owing to the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser shall remain entitled to receive any Collections on Receivables which have become Defaulted Receivables after it shall have completed its collection efforts in respect thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time, any payment made by an Originator is rescinded or must be restored or returned by the Purchaser as a result of any Insolvency Event with respect to an

Originator then an Originator's obligations with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had never been made.

7.14: Responsible Officer Certificates; No Recourse

Any certificate executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of an Originator or the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents shall be executed by such Responsible Officer not in an individual capacity but solely in his or her capacity as an officer of such Originator or the Purchaser, as applicable, and such Responsible Officer will not be subject to personal liability as to the matters contained in the certificate. A director, officer, manager, employee, or shareholder, as such, of an Originator or Purchaser shall not have liability for any obligation of such Originator or the Purchaser hereunder or under any Transaction Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any Transaction Document, unless such claim results from the gross negligence, fraudulent acts or wilful misconduct of such director, officer, employee, manager or shareholder.

7.15

Confidential Information

(a)

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, and subject to Clause 7.15(b), each of the parties hereto undertakes to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement in its communications with third parties and otherwise. None of the parties shall disclose to any person any information of a confidential nature of or relating to either an Originator, the Trustee or Purchaser, which such party may have obtained as a result of the Transaction (the "Confidential Information"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall restrict disclosure of Confidential Information to its officers, employees, agents and advisers who need to receive such information to ensure the proper functioning of the Transaction. The Trustee shall procure that such officers, employees, agents and advisers shall keep confidential all of the Confidential Information received.

(b)

The provisions of this Clause 7.15(b) shall not apply:

(i): To the disclosure of any information which is or becomes public knowledge otherwise than as a result of the conduct of the recipient;
(ii): To the disclosure of Confidential Information to the Trustee's assigns or the Rating Agencies (provided that such information is disclosed subject to the condition that such party will hold it confidential on the same basis);
(iii): To the disclosure of any information with the written consent of the parties hereto;
(iv): To the disclosure of any information in response to any order of any court or Governmental Authority; or
(v): To the disclosure of any information reasonably required for the completion and filing of any financing statements pursuant to Clauses 2.3(c), and 4.5.

7.16: Stamp Duty

The Originator will pay and hold itself responsible for and will seek no indemnity from the Purchaser or the Company in respect of Stamp Duty which is required to be paid in order to secure the stamping of any Relevant Document for any of the following purposes:

(a)

Allowing the Relevant Document in question to be produced in evidence in proceedings in the United Kingdom where this is required in order to enable the Purchaser or the Company to enforce its rights in respect of any Purchased Receivables against the Obligors and either:

(i): the judge, arbitrator or other person responsible for the determination of such proceedings has ruled that an executed original or counterpart of the Relevant Document must be produced in evidence as aforesaid (provided that if an appeal against the ruling

is permissible and the Originator so requests, and on the condition that the Originator indemnifies the Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, to its respective satisfaction on an after-tax basis for all costs involved in such an appeal, the Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, will pursue such an appeal pending which neither the Purchaser nor the Company, as the case may be, will cause an executed original or counterpart of the Relevant Document to be produced in evidence as aforesaid); or

(ii): the rules governing the conduct of such proceedings provide that a certified unstamped copy of the Relevant Document in question or any other form of evidence of the matters which are the subject of such proceedings cannot be produced as adequate evidence for the purposes of such proceedings; or

SCHEDULE 3

FORM OF SECURITY POWER OF ATTORNEY

THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY is made on the 20 by [ • ] (defined as the "Originator" herein) in favour of [ • ], a company whose registered office is at [ ] acting in its capacity as Purchaser (the "Purchaser", and as the "Attorney").

WHEREAS

(A): Pursuant to a UK Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "UKRPA") dated on or about 20 made by and between the Originator, the Purchaser and others, the Originator (as referred to therein) may from time to time offer to sell to the Purchaser certain receivables evidenced by invoices rendered by the Originator (the "Receivables") and the Purchaser may accept an assignment of all Receivables for its benefit.
(B): Receivables and Collections so acquired and not subsequently reacquired by the Originator or collected in full are referred to herein as the "Purchased Receivables".
(C): Under the Servicing Agreement, the Originator has been appointed by the Servicer as its Local Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
(D): Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the UKRPA.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.

THE ORIGINATOR HEREBY APPOINTS the Attorney in respect of the Contracts and their related Collections, or the assets subject to the trusts declared by it under the UKRPA and referred to it above, to be its true and lawful attorney for it and in its name to do any of the following acts, deeds and things or any of them as may be within the power of the Originator:

(a): to exercise its rights, powers and discretions in respect of Purchased Receivables, Collections and in respect of any other related rights (such related benefit and other rights being the "Ancillary Rights");
(b): to exercise all the rights, powers, remedies and discretions exercisable by the Originator by reason of the Originator remaining legal owner of Purchased Receivables or the Ancillary Rights;
(c): to execute, sign, seal and deliver any document (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, an absolute assignment) and to do any other act or thing which it may deem to be necessary in order to protect the interests of the Purchaser, proper or expedient for fully and effectually vesting or transferring the equitable interest in the Purchased Receivables sold by it and the Ancillary Rights in or to the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assigns hereunder (if applicable) or its successors in title or other person or persons entitled to the benefit thereof (as the case may require) pursuant to and in accordance with the UKRPA;
(d): to demand, ▇▇▇ for and receive all moneys due or payable under or in respect of Purchased Receivables sold by it and the Ancillary Rights and pay such moneys to the persons to whom such moneys are required to be paid under the UKRPA;
(e): to redirect mail and endorse drafts, cheques and other payment media, to perform any agreement or obligation of the Originator under or in connection with the UKRPA and to exercise all other remedies of the Originator under the UKRPA or existing at law; and
(f): from time to time to substitute and appoint severally one or more attorneys (the "Substitute Attorneys") for all or any of the purposes aforesaid (including the power to authorise any person so appointed to make further appointments).

2.: The Originator hereby agrees at all times hereafter to ratify and confirm any act, matter or deed whatsoever the Attorney or any Substitute Attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done under or pursuant to this Power of Attorney to the extent that such act or acts and execution are within the power of the Originator and within the contemplation of this Power of Attorney and the Originator shall indemnify the Attorney or any Substitute Attorney in respect of any loss, claim, cost, expense or liability in connection with this Power of Attorney save to the extent that the same arises out of their negligence, wilful default or bad faith. In furtherance of the power herein granted, the Originator agrees that it will assist and co-operate with the Purchaser and provide such facilities as the Purchaser may reasonably request.
3.: The Originator declares that this Power of Attorney has been given for security purposes and to secure continuing obligations of the Originator under the UKRPA and the above-mentioned assignments and trust arrangements, and the powers hereby created shall be irrevocable and will extend to and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Originator, and the bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, the making of an administration order or appointment of an administrative receiver or any other equivalent event of or affecting the Originator shall not affect the Powers of Attorney granted by any of the other Originators.
4.: The laws of England shall apply to this Power of Attorney and the interpretation thereof and to all acts of the Attorney or any Substitute Attorney carried out under the terms hereof.

IN WITNESS whereof this Power of Attorney has been executed on the day and year first above written.

SALE OF RECEIVABLES ORIGINATED BY

I [ ] having duly considered the provisions of Sections 123 and 238 to 241 of the Insolvency ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, and all documents produced thereto, determine that as at the date hereof:

1.

to the best of my knowledge and belief (based upon due enquiry) [ • ] (the "Company") was then able to pay its debts within the meaning of the said Section 123 and would not become unable to do so in consequence of the periodic sale of the Receivables during the month following this certificate pursuant to the terms of the UK Receivables Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company, Huntsman International LLC (the "Purchaser"), the Funding Agents and the Administrative Agent;

2.

no order had been made or resolution passed for the winding-up of the Company which had been notified to the Company and, to the best of my knowledge and belief:

(i): no petition had been presented for the winding-up of the Company or for the making of an administration order in respect of the Company; and
(ii): no receiver, administrative receiver, administrator or receiver and manager had been appointed in relation to the Company,

disregarding proceedings which are not being pursued or are discharged or are being contested in good faith on proper grounds where not more than thirty (30) days have expired since their commencement or which are of a frivolous or vexatious nature;

3.: to the best of my knowledge and belief the sale of the Receivables to the Purchaser and all matters concerning the Company in connection with such matters would, to the extent to which these were to be carried out by the Company, be effected by the Company in good faith and in connection with its business, and in my opinion there were reasonable grounds for believing that the sale of the Receivables and all related matters would benefit the Company; and

4.: in submitting Offers the Company has not to the best of my knowledge and belief been influenced by a desire to prefer the Purchaser as a creditor over any other creditors of the Company.

Words and expressions defined in the UK Receivables Purchase Agreement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, bear the same meanings when used herein.
