WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Parent, LYB Americas Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 15, 2018 (as may be amended and restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a Subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the Merger, Parent has agreed to provide to the Company’s stockholders the right to receive contingent cash payments, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (each right, a “CVR” and collectively, the “CVRs”);

WHEREAS, the Company and the Committee desire the Pursuit of the Claims to be managed, administered and controlled by the Committee and the Company in accordance with this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Committee desire JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) to establish an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and make payments as directed by the Committee in accordance with this Agreement and that certain escrow agreement, dated as of August 20, 2018, by and between the Company and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein, the Company, Parent, the initial Committee Members and the Paying Agent hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

Section 1.01    CVRs. The CVRs represent the rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 1.02    No Certificates. The CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

1

Section 1.03    Registration by the Paying Agent.

(a)    The Paying Agent will keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs and Permitted Transfers thereof. The CVR Register will initially show (i) with respect to holders of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Company Common Stock”), who hold such shares in book-entry form through DTC immediately prior to the Effective Time, one (1) position for Cede & Co. (as nominee of DTC) representing all such shares, and (ii) with respect to (A) holders of shares of Company Common Stock who hold such shares in certificated form immediately prior to the Effective Time, upon delivery to the Paying Agent by each such holder of the applicable stock certificates, together with a validly executed letter of transmittal, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, and holders of shares of Company Common Stock who hold such shares in book-entry form through the Company immediately prior to Effective Time, and (B) with respect holders of Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs or Company Restricted Shares, in each case of clauses (A) and (B), the applicable number of CVRs to which each such holder is entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement (other than, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)(A), those who have perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware). The Paying Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders with respect to transfers of CVRs. With respect to any payments to be made under Article V below, the Paying Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of shares of Company Common Stock by sending one (1) lump sum payment to DTC. The Paying Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders.

(b)    Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 1.05, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent pursuant to its guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Paying Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. The Company and the Paying Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other Tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Paying Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of a CVR of applicable Taxes or charges unless and until the Paying Agent is satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of the Company and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register in accordance with this Agreement.

(c)    A Holder may make a written request to the Paying Agent to change such Holder’s address of record on the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written request by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall promptly record the change of address on the CVR Register. The Paying Agent shall provide a copy of the CVR Register to the Company upon request.

2

Section 1.04    Rights of CVR Holder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon any Holder, by virtue of being a Holder of a CVR, the right to dividends or the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights of any kind or nature whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity. The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent, any constituent company to the Merger or any of their respective Affiliates. The rights of a Holder are limited to those expressed in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Merger Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Representatives shall have any liability, responsibility or obligation of any kind to any Holder in their capacity as such on any basis (including in contract, tort, under federal or state securities law or otherwise) with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the CVRs, the Claims and the Pursuit thereof, the Citadel Acquisition, the Lucent Acquisition or the Government Actions, except to the extent this Agreement expressly requires the payment of any CVR Payment Amount to the Holders and except to the extent otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement.

Section 1.05    Non-transferability. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, other than through a Permitted Transfer or pursuant to Section 1.06. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of CVRs, in whole or in part, in violation of this Section 1.05 shall be void ab initio and of no effect. In addition, each Holder, by virtue of its acceptance of a CVR, shall be deemed to have agreed to not facilitate or recognize any attempt by any beneficial owner of such CVR, including any former street holder of Company Common Stock or any broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee of such a street holder to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or in any other manner transfer or dispose of, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, an interest in such CVR other than through a Permitted Transfer. A “Permitted Transfer” shall mean (a) a transfer of a CVR upon death of a Holder by will or intestacy, (b) a transfer by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the CVR (or any interest therein) is to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustee, (c) a transfer of a CVR pursuant to a court order of a court of competent jurisdiction (such as in connection with divorce, bankruptcy or liquidation) or (d) a transfer made by operation of law (such as a merger); provided that any such transferred CVR shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 1.05.

Section 1.06    Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to the Company without consideration therefor. Such Holder shall notify the Company of such abandonment by providing written notice with respect thereto, which notice shall include the name of such Holder and the number of CVRs such Holder is entitled to and abandoning at such time. The Company shall notify the Paying Agent of such abandonment and provide instructions regarding the abandoned CVRs. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire or from acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by the

3

Company or any of its Affiliates shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and Article VI and Section 8.05 hereunder and any Holder from whom the Company or any of its Affiliates acquired such CVRs shall have no rights hereunder with respect to such CVRs.

ARTICLE II

CVR COMMITTEE

Section 2.01    Establishment. Each Holder, by virtue of its acceptance of a CVR, shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to (i) the establishment of a CVR Committee (the “Committee”), consisting of three (3) members (“Committee Members”) and having the powers, authority and rights set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the appointment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ as the initial Committee Member selected by the Company prior to the Effective Time on behalf of the Holders (the initial “Holder Committee Member”), (iii) the appointment of ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. as the initial Committee Member appointed by the Company (the initial “Company Committee Member”), (iv) the appointment of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Committee, such individual jointly selected by Parent and the Company prior to the Effective Time (the initial “Independent Committee Member”), and (v) the appointment of any successor Committee Member pursuant to Section 2.05.

Section 2.02    Authority.

(a)    The Committee shall have full power and authority, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to prosecute, appeal, negotiate, resolve, settle, compromise or otherwise pursue or defend any Claims (as defined below), in whole or in part, on behalf and in the name of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including by litigation in trial or appellate courts, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution, negotiation, settlement or compromise (collectively, the “Pursuit” of Claims) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall have full power and authority to (i) initiate or defend any claims (including determining the timing thereof and the strategy therefor), in each case, arising out of or in connection with the Citadel Acquisition or the Lucent Acquisition against any Person, including claims relating to (A) any potentially available insurance proceeds for such transactions or litigation or (B) any funds recovered or obtained by a Governmental Authority that may be available as restitution, disgorgement or compensation with respect to the Citadel Acquisition or the Lucent Acquisition (any such claims, the “Claims”), (ii) direct and supervise all matters involving litigation of any Claims (including trial strategy and planning, appellate strategy and settlement strategy), (iii) appear before and conduct affairs with arbitrators, mediators and other such professionals on behalf and in the name of the Company necessary or appropriate to enable the Committee to Pursue any Claims, (iv) appear in court and file pleadings and execute any documents on behalf and in the name of the Company necessary or appropriate to enable the Committee to Pursue any Claims and (v) agree to the settlement or compromise of any Claim, subject to the consent right set forth in Section 3.04. Each Committee Member acknowledges that the Company has negotiated material terms of a settlement agreement with the defendants in the Citadel Litigation, which terms are set forth in Exhibit E hereto, and the Committee Members shall work to finalize a settlement containing such material terms, subject to acting reasonably to finalize the settlement agreement relating thereto; provided that the Committee may modify or supplement any of the terms of such settlement agreement if the Committee reasonably determines that it is in the best interests of the Holders.

4

(b)    The Committee shall have reasonable access to, and control over, the attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product doctrine that belongs to the Company, HGGC Plastics Holdings, Inc. (“Citadel”), The Matrixx Group, Incorporated, LPI Holding Company or Lucent Polymers, Inc. to the extent necessary to carry out any of the Committee’s duties or obligations.

(c)    The Committee shall have full power and authority to support, participate in, cooperate with, seek recourse, restitution or disgorgement in respect of (collectively, “Support”) all matters involving and in connection with any investigation by, or action initiated by, any Governmental Authority arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Citadel Acquisition or the Lucent Acquisition (collectively, the “Government Actions”).

(d)    The Committee shall have full power and authority to withdraw all or part of any Claims and shall terminate the Pursuit thereof at any time after the aggregate amount of unpaid Claims Expenses (as defined below) exceeds the amount remaining in the Escrow Account or if the Committee reasonably determines that the aggregate amount of unpaid Claims Expenses together with the Claims Expenses reasonably expected to be incurred are reasonably likely to exceed the amount remaining in the Escrow Account and the Litigation Proceeds and Government Action Proceeds reasonably likely to still be collected. The Committee shall consider in good faith any request by any Committee Member to take action pursuant to this Section 2.02(d).

(e)    The Committee shall have full power and authority to retain advisors, including counsel, accountants, financial advisors, experts, consultants, investigators and other agents (collectively, “Advisors”), in connection with the Pursuit of Claims, the Support of Government Actions or the withdrawal or termination thereof and to advise the Committee Members with respect to the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including such power and authority to (i) direct and supervise all such Advisors and (ii) determine the amount and method of compensation to be paid to such Advisors (including the settlement of any disputes regarding such compensation).

(f)    The Committee shall have full power and authority to take such action as reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce the obligations of Parent (under Section 8.14) and of the Company under this Agreement, including the right to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final non-appealable judgment against Parent or the Company in respect of any suit brought by the Committee to enforce the obligations of Parent or the Company under this Agreement, then Parent or the Company, as applicable, agrees to pay all legal fees and expenses that the Committee may reasonably incur (which may include any reasonable contingency fees) as a result of any litigation commenced by the Committee regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement binding upon Parent or the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, legal fees and expenses paid by Parent or the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) shall not be considered Claims Expenses for purposes of this Agreement.

5

(g)    The Committee shall use reasonable best efforts, including consulting with its Tax advisors, to (i) structure the settlement or other disposition of any Claim in a tax-efficient manner that minimizes the Net Tax Cost associated with the receipt of Litigation Proceeds or Government Action Proceeds, as applicable, and (ii) treat the payment of any CVR Payment Amount as not subject to any deduction or withholding (including by taking such position in any relevant tax proceeding), unless withholding is otherwise required pursuant to a Final Determination or a change in applicable Tax Law after the date hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) the Company shall, and shall cause any of its Affiliates to, report, for purposes of any Tax return, the receipt of Litigation Proceeds or Government Action Proceeds as a tax-free adjustment to the purchase price of the LPI Holding Company shares or Citadel shares, as applicable, and (B) the Company shall not take any position inconsistent with the reporting described in clause (A) of this sentence for any applicable Tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, any disputes as to whether the receipt of Litigation Proceeds or Government Action Proceeds, as applicable, are properly treated as a tax-free adjustment to the purchase price of the LPI Holding Company shares or Citadel shares, as applicable, shall be resolved by the Firm in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.02(d).

Section 2.03    Actions. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee may act only with the concurrence of a majority of the Committee Members; provided, however, that the Committee may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Committee Members, designate a Chairman or other Committee Member to act as the administrative Committee Member and delegate to the Chairman or such other Committee Member such authority as the Committee may determine; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may not take any of the following actions without the prior approval of the Company Committee Member (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to clause (c) below): (a) incurring any Claims Expenses in excess of the value of the assets deposited in the Escrow Account; (b) in the event of an assignment of Claims to an SPE as potentially contemplated in Section 8.13, initiating or pursuing any such Claims in the name of the Company; and (c) taking any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the business, reputation or commercial relationships of the Company, Parent or their respective Affiliates in any material way; provided that this limitation does not apply to arguments that (i) have already been made to the court in prior pleadings, submissions or hearings in the Citadel Litigation or Matrixx Litigation, or (ii) relate to legacy Lucent products or the pre-acquisition business or conduct of Citadel or Lucent. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.03 prevents the Committee from determining to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 or taking any other action that it is expressly permitted to take pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.04    Compensation. Each Holder Committee Member and Independent Committee Member shall be entitled to compensation for service as a Committee Member as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

6

Section 2.05    Replacement of Committee Members.

(a)    Each Committee Member may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified.

(b)    The Company has the right to remove the Company Committee Member at any time by a board resolution specifying a date when such removal will take effect. Acting Holders have the right to remove the Holder Committee Member at any time for Due Cause by written consent or board resolution, as applicable, specifying a date when such removal will take effect. Notice of such removal will be given by the Company to the Company Committee Member or the Holder Committee Member. The Holder Committee Member and the Company Committee Member, acting together, shall have the right to remove the Independent Committee Member at any time by providing written notice to the Independent Committee Member and specifying a date when such removal will take effect.

(c)    If the Company Committee Member shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, the Company shall promptly appoint a qualified successor Company Committee Member, which may be an officer of the Company or Parent; provided, however, that if a successor Company Committee Member is not appointed by the Company, the vacated Company Committee Member position shall remain vacant until such time as the Company appoints a successor Company Committee Member to such position. If the Holder Committee Member shall resign, be removed, or become incapable of acting, a successor Holder Committee Member shall be appointed in accordance with Exhibit B hereto. If the Independent Committee Member shall resign, be removed, or become incapable of acting, his or her successor shall be appointed by the current Committee Members within thirty (30) days of such resignation, removal or incapacitation. If, within sixty (60) days after such resignation, removal or incapacitation, a successor Independent Committee Member shall not have been appointed, any Holder may, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Independent Committee Member. The successor Committee Member so appointed shall under the provisions of this Section 2.05(c), forthwith upon his or her acceptance of such appointment in accordance with this Section 2.05(c), become a successor Committee Member.

(d)    Every successor appointed under this Section 2.05 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the Paying Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a joinder to this Agreement, and thereupon such successor shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if he or she had been originally named as the Committee Member such successor is succeeding without further act or deed.

(e)    Any Committee Member may also be a Holder or an officer, director, employee or Affiliate of a Holder and in such case will continue to have all the rights of a Holder to the same extent as if he or she were not a Committee Member.

(f)    The Company will give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Committee Member and each appointment of a successor Committee Member by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the

7

CVR Register. Each notice will include the name and corporate mailing address of the successor Committee Member. If the Company fails to send such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Committee Member in accordance with Section 2.05(d), the successor Committee Member will cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

Section 2.06    Liability; Indemnification.

(a)    Each Committee Member undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against any Committee Member. No Committee Member nor, solely with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ conduct hereunder, and only for so long as ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ serves as a Committee Member, his employer ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Marsal Disputes and Investigations, LLC (“A&M”), shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise for any Loss (including Losses that are costs and expenses of defense of claims, as incurred) incurred by reason of having been a Committee Member or resulting from the administration of any Claims or the Escrow Account, Support of any Government Action or any decision, action or failure to act, except to the extent that any such Loss shall have been caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Committee Member. Each Holder, by virtue of its acceptance of a CVR, shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to release and forever discharge each Committee Member from and against any and all liabilities, responsibilities and claims for damages or otherwise for any Loss incurred by reason of having been a Committee Member or resulting from administration of any Claims or the Escrow Account or any decision, action or failure to act, except to the extent that any such Loss shall have been caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Committee Member.

(b)    The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, and provide customary insurance to, each Committee Member and, solely with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ conduct hereunder, and only for so long as ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ serves as a Committee Member, his employer A&M, against any Loss incurred by reason of having been a Committee Member or resulting from the administration of any Claims or the Escrow Account, Support of any Government Action or any decision, action or failure to act, except to the extent of such Committee Member’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. The parties acknowledge that the initial insurance policy being entered into at the time of execution of this Agreement contains customary terms. The Company shall advance payments in connection with its indemnification obligations under this Section 2.06(b) upon request of any Committee Member; provided that such Committee Member shall have delivered to the Company a written undertaking to repay any amount advanced to the extent that such Loss was the result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Committee Member. The rights of each Committee Member under this Section 2.06(b) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to which such Committee Member may be entitled, whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise. These rights are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Committee Member. The obligations of the Company under this Section 2.06(b) shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Committee Member without the consent of such Committee Member and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal or resignation of any Committee Member.

ARTICLE III

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Section 3.01    Cooperation. (a) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide the Committee and its Advisors with access reasonably necessary to Pursue the Claims and to Support the Government Actions, at normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the Company’s books and records (including electronic and archived documents and Litigation Materials) and the Company’s facilities and to current employees and Advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including in connection with testimony in litigation and factual investigation, and (ii) generally provide support, and make its and its Subsidiaries’ employees and Advisors reasonably available to provide assistance and expertise at such times and in such places as reasonably necessary, to Pursue the Claims and Support the Government Actions; provided that, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, (A) the Company only shall be required to provide such access and make its and its Subsidiaries’ employees and Advisors available to the extent and in such manner as does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (B) the Company may withhold access from the Committee to the extent that the Company is aware that (x) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party or another contract that restricts such access (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to provide such access), (y) providing such access would result in a loss of attorney-client or other legal privilege (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow such access (or access to a portion thereof) in a manner that does not result in a loss of such privilege), or (z) providing such access would violate any applicable Law (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access in a manner that does not violate such applicable Law). The Company shall cooperate and render assistance in obtaining such access as reasonably necessary to Pursue the Claims and Support the Government Actions to former employees and Advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including in connection with testimony in litigation and factual investigation; provided that (I) the Company only shall be required to provide such cooperation and assistance to the extent and in such manner as does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (II) the Company shall have no obligation to cooperate or render such assistance to the extent that the Company reasonably believes (1) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party or another contract that restricts such cooperation or assistance (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to provide such cooperation or assistance), (2) providing such cooperation or assistance would result in a loss of attorney-client or other legal privilege (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such cooperation or assistance (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of such privilege), or (3) providing such cooperation or assistance would violate any applicable Law (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such cooperation or assistance in a manner that does not violate such applicable Law). Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by current or former employees or Advisors of the Company or its Subsidiaries (but in no event any compensation expenses of current employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries) in connection with the Committee’s access to them shall be reimbursed as Claims Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any employee or other person under its control available to testify at a trial or evidentiary hearing at the request of the Committee.

9

(b)    The Company shall (i) maintain in place any litigation document retention policies that exist as of the Effective Time and (ii) implement and maintain new litigation document retention policies as are reasonably necessary to Pursue the Claims or Support the Government Actions; provided that in the case of implementing and maintaining any such new policies, they shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 3.02     Powers-of-Attorney. The Company shall execute and deliver to the Committee a power-of-attorney in form reasonably satisfactory to the Committee to enable the Committee to file pleadings and execute any documents on behalf of the Company necessary or appropriate to enable the Committee to prosecute any Claim and to settle or compromise any Claim Pursued by the Committee in accordance with this Agreement, in each case, in the name of the Company.

Section 3.03    Pursuit of Claims and Support of Government Actions. The Company and its Affiliates shall not disclose any non-public information with respect to any Claims or Government Actions to any third parties except (i) to the Committee and its Advisors, (ii) to Advisors of the Company and its Affiliates who are advised of the confidential nature of such information and the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.03 in respect of such non-public information, (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by, or pursuant to an agreement with, any Governmental Authority or applicable Law or (iv) to the extent such information becomes part of the public domain without breach of this Section 3.03 by the Company or any of its Affiliates.

Section 3.04    Settlements. No settlement or compromise of any Claim Pursued by the Committee shall require any consent or action by the Company, Parent or their respective Affiliates, unless such settlement or compromise would (i) require the payment by the Company of any amount in cash in excess of the remaining amount in the Escrow Account (provided that in the event a settlement requires cash payments by the Company and there are sufficient funds in the Escrow Account, such amounts shall promptly be paid to the Company from the Escrow Account), (ii) create a material ongoing obligation of the Company, Parent or their respective Affiliates (other than execution of a customary release), or (iii) include a materially adverse admission of fact regarding the Company and its Affiliates (outside of any admissions included as of the date hereof in the court proceedings or pleadings relating to the Citadel Litigation or the Matrixx Litigation). If the consent of the Company shall be so required, such consent, including any release by the Company or its Affiliates as may be required by the other party to such settlement or compromise in connection with such settlement or compromise, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 3.05    Information.

(a)    Until all of the Claims and Government Actions have been completed, cancelled, settled or are final and not subject to further judicial review (by appeal or otherwise), the Company shall receive, by the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Company

10

(unless significant activity, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, occurs during such quarter, in which case monthly reports shall be provided during such time), a report from the Committee describing the status of the Claims, which report shall describe, in summary fashion, the total Claims Expenses incurred through the date of such report, the status of all pending court proceedings related to the Claims, whether any new claims or proceedings have been brought by Committee related to the Claims, the status of any counterclaims brought by the defendants related to the Claims, the status of any settlement negotiations among the Committee and the defendants with respect to the Claims, and any material updates with respect to the Government Actions, to the extent then known.

(b)    The Company shall promptly notify the Committee of any information, documentation, or updates (unless immaterial) that it and/or any of its Affiliates receives or is made aware of in respect of the Claims or Government Actions; provided that the Committee has not also received, or been made aware of, such information, documentation or updates.

(c)    The Committee shall promptly provide the Company with information to the extent reasonably requested in connection with reports, forms, notifications, applications, Tax returns and other documents to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable foreign, federal and state governmental agencies in order to comply with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any state, local or foreign Tax law.

(d)    The Committee shall promptly notify the Company of any material change in the Pursuit of Claims or in the status of any Government Action, to the extent then known.

ARTICLE IV

ARTICLE V

PAYMENT PROCEDURES

Section 5.01    Payment of CVR Payment Amount.

(a)    On each CVR Payment Date, the applicable CVR Payment Amount shall be paid to the CVR Holders and the CVR Holders shall be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the CVR Payment Amount; provided that payments shall be made to the CVR Holders only after any amounts payable from the Escrow Account that are due to the Company under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4.03) have first been paid to the Company; provided, further, that, except as expressly provided in the definition of CVR Payment Date, prior to the Final CVR Payment Date no payments shall be made to the CVR Holders unless an amount that is equal or greater than the Floor Amount is retained in the Escrow Account. The Paying Agent shall pay the applicable CVR Payment Amount to each Holder (i) by check mailed to the address of such Holder as reflected on the CVR Register as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to such CVR Payment Date or (ii) if such Holder is due a CVR Payment Amount in excess of $1,000,000 and has provided the Paying Agent with wire transfer instructions in writing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in such instructions. In the case of CVRs to be issued upon conversion of Company Convertible Special Stock outstanding on the relevant CVR Payment Date, the CVR Payment Amount in respect of such CVRs shall remain in the Escrow Account and be paid out following the conversion of such Company Convertible Special Stock. If the total CVR Payment Amount to be distributed to the CVR Holders pursuant to this Section 5.01 exceeds the value of the assets deposited in the Escrow Account as of the applicable CVR Payment Date, the CVR Payment Amount shall be equal to the value of the assets deposited in the Escrow Account; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any CVR Holder have any right to any assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates other than the Escrow Assets. Any Escrow Assets that remain undistributed to the CVR Holders one (1) year after the Final CVR Payment Date shall be delivered to the Company and the Company shall be permitted to direct the Escrow Agent to deliver such Escrow Assets to the Company, and upon demand, any CVR Holders who have not theretofore received cash in exchange for such CVRs shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment of their claim therefor. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any Escrow Assets that remain unclaimed immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any governmental entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Thereafter, the Company shall be responsible for compliance with unclaimed property obligations.

13

(b)    For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the definition of CVR Payment Amount, 85% of the resulting amount of (A) Litigation Proceeds plus Government Action Proceeds less (B) the deductions set forth in clauses (ii) through (vi) of such definition shall be for the benefit of the CVR Holders, and 15% of such resulting amount shall be for the benefit of the Company (except with respect to the first $38.5 million in Litigation Proceeds and Government Action Proceeds, which, less the Claims Expenses and Customer Claims, will be 100% for the benefit of the CVR Holders). The CVR Payment Amount is intended to be paid (x) within five (5) business days following the date of receipt of all or any portion of the Equitable Lien or the Indemnity Escrow Fund (unless such amount was received prior to the date hereof, in which case payment shall be made within five (5) business days of the date hereof), (y) within five (5) business days following the Determination Date (defined below) relating to each time the aggregate amount of CVR Litigation Proceeds plus CVR Government Action Proceeds (including any received after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date hereof) minus the Floor Amount equals at least $30 million (in accordance with the definition of CVR Payment Date) and (z) to the extent any funds remain in the Escrow Account, on the Final CVR Payment Date. Sample calculations of CVR Payment Amounts, with assumptions regarding payment timing, are set forth in Exhibit D hereto.

Section 5.02    CVR Payment Amount.

(a)    As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days (i) following each receipt by the Company or its affiliates of at least $30 million in CVR Litigation Proceeds or CVR Government Action Proceeds and (ii) prior to the date set forth in Final CVR Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Committee a certificate (the “Litigation Proceeds Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail (A) the amount of any Cash Proceeds received by the Company or its Affiliates, if any, (B) a description in reasonable detail of Non-Cash Proceeds received by the Company or its Affiliates, if any, (C) the fair market value of any Non-Cash Proceeds and the methodology used, and calculations made, to determine such fair market value, (D) an itemized list in reasonable detail of the Claims Expenses, Customer Claims, Parent Fee and Firm Expenses, (E) a calculation of the Net Tax Cost, (F) a calculation of the CVR Payment Amount, and (G) any assumptions underlying the determination of any item used in making such calculations. The Company shall deliver to the Committee any financial or other documentation reasonably necessary to sufficiently support such calculations, the Claims Expenses, Customer Claims, Parent Fee and Firm Expenses.

(b)    Within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Litigation Proceeds Certificate, the Holder Committee Member or the Independent Committee Member shall give written notice to the Company and each other Committee Member specifying whether he or she agrees with or objects to (a “Notice of Agreement” and a “Notice of Objection,” respectively) the Litigation Proceeds Certificate and the CVR Payment Amount calculation.

(c)    If the Holder Committee Member or the Independent Committee Member does not deliver a Notice of Agreement or a Notice of Objection with respect to the Litigation Proceeds Certificate within the thirty-day (30-day) period described above, such Committee Member shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Agreement with respect to the Litigation Proceeds Certificate, and the CVR Payment Amount set forth in the Litigation Proceeds Certificate shall be deemed final.

14

(d)    If the Holder Committee Member or the Independent Committee Member delivers a Notice of Objection, such Holder Committee Member or Independent Committee Member shall as promptly as practicable following delivery of such Notice of Objection deliver to the Company a certificate (a “Committee Member Objection Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail each of the objections to the calculations, valuations, methodologies, lists, computations, assumptions and other information, including the fair market value of any Non-Cash Proceeds (collectively, the “Determinations”), that such Committee Member has to the applicable Litigation Proceeds Certificate. The Committee Members shall try to resolve any objections among themselves within thirty (30) days following receipt of a Committee Member Objection Certificate. If they are unable to resolve such objection, the Committee Members shall submit the portions of the Determinations set forth in the Litigation Proceeds Certificate that are in dispute to an independent public accounting firm of national standing that shall have expertise in the valuation of assets and properties and U.S. federal income taxation (if the dispute relates to the calculation of the Net Tax Cost) (the “Firm”). The Firm shall be instructed to determine whether the Determinations set forth in the Litigation Proceeds Certificate that are in dispute are correct in all material respects (the “Resolution”). If the Firm determines that such Determinations are correct, the CVR Payment Amount shall be as set forth in the Litigation Proceeds Certificate, and such Holder Committee Member or Independent Committee Member shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Agreement with respect to such Litigation Proceeds Certificate. If the Firm determines that any of the Determinations set forth in the Litigation Proceeds Certificate are incorrect in any respect (whether or not material), the Firm’s resulting calculation of the CVR Payment Amount shall be binding on all parties hereto. All costs and expenses billed by the Firm in connection with the performance of its duties described herein (“Firm Expenses”) shall be paid from the Escrow Account, unless the Company’s determination of the CVR Payment Amount is less than 85% of the CVR Payment Amount determined by the Firm, in which case the Company shall pay 100% of the Firm Expenses and such amount shall not be considered a Claims Expense.

(e)    The date on which the amount of the CVR Payment Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 5.02 is referred to as the “Determination Date.”

Section 5.03    Payments on CVRs.

(a)    The determination by the Company and the Committee of any CVR Payment Amount pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 5.02, absent a mathematical error, shall be final and binding on the Company and each Holder. Upon such determination, the Company shall provide the Escrow Agent instructions in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to transfer funds to the Paying Agent to enable the Paying Agent to pay out the applicable CVR Payment Amount; provided that, with respect to CVRs granted in respect of Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs or Company Restricted Shares, the Company shall provide the Escrow Agent instructions in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to transfer funds to the Company to enable the Company to pay out the applicable portion of the CVR Payment Amount to the holders of such CVRs through the payroll of the Company. The Company shall not provide any instructions to the Escrow Agent without first following the procedures for approval of the Committee Members set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 4.03, 4.04, 5.01 and 5.02). With respect to matters that are not addressed by this Agreement that will involve payment from the Escrow Account, the Company shall act only after providing written notice to

15

each of the Committee Members, and obtaining the written consent of a majority of the Committee Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall only provide instructions to the Escrow Agent that are in accordance with any final determination of payments made by the CVR Committee in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)    Except in the specific cases specified in this Agreement, no interest shall accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

(c)    The Paying Agent shall deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that, other than to the extent treated as compensation to recipients of Company Option Consideration, the Paying Agent shall not be permitted to deduct or withhold with respect to the payment of any CVR Payment Amount (and no amount shall be included in the definition of Claims Expenses in respect of any deduction or withholding Tax) unless otherwise required pursuant to (i) a Final Determination or (ii) a change in applicable Tax Law after the date hereof. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority in each case in compliance with the preceding sentence, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company or the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. To the extent any amounts are deducted or withheld not in compliance with this Section 5.03(c) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude any deduction or withholding required pursuant to a Final Determination or a change in applicable Tax Law after the date hereof), the sum payable to the person with respect to whom such deduction or withholding was made shall be increased as necessary so that after any such deductions or withholding (including any deductions or withholding applicable to such additional sums payable) such person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made.
