Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On June 15, 2026, Huntsman
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Huntsman” or, with reference to the post-closing period, the “Combined
Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Olin Corporation, a
Virginia corporation (“Olin”), Olympus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary
of Olin (“First Merger Sub”), and Hook Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of Olin (“Second Merger Sub”).
The Transactions
The Merger Agreement
provides for the combination of Huntsman and Olin in an all-stock merger of equals transaction, pursuant to which, either (a) upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and the plan of merger in the form attached thereto (the
“Plan of Merger”), Huntsman will merge with and into Olin (the “Direct Merger”), with Olin as
the surviving entity or (b) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (i) First Merger Sub will
be merged with and into Huntsman (the “First Subsidiary Merger”), with Huntsman surviving as a direct wholly
owned subsidiary of Olin (the “Initial Surviving Company”) and (ii) immediately following the First Subsidiary
Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Subsidiary Merger, the Initial Surviving Company will be merged
with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Subsidiary Merger” and, together with the First Subsidiary Merger,
the “Subsidiary Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Olin (the
“Final Surviving Company”). The Direct Merger or the Subsidiary Mergers, as applicable, and the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Transactions".
The board of directors of
each of Huntsman and Olin have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including each of the Direct Merger and
the Subsidiary Mergers, and in the case of Olin the issuance by Olin of Olin common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Olin
Common Stock”) as Merger Consideration (as defined below).
Olin Shareholder Approvals
Direct Merger. If at
the meeting of Olin shareholders held in connection with the Transactions (the “Olin Shareholders Meeting”), the affirmative
vote of holders of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Olin Common Stock entitled to be cast to approve the Merger Agreement
and the Plan of Merger (the “Olin Direct Merger Approval”) is received, then, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Transactions will be effected pursuant to the Direct Merger.
Subsidiary Mergers.
If at the Olin Shareholders Meeting the Olin Direct Merger Approval is not received but the approval of a majority of votes cast in person
or by proxy at the Olin Shareholders Meeting, as required by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) Rule 312.03 (the
“Olin Share Issuance Approval”), is received with respect to the issuance of Olin Common Stock in respect of the Subsidiary
Mergers, then the Transactions will be effected pursuant to the Subsidiary Mergers.
Both the Direct Merger and
the Subsidiary Mergers deliver all of the benefits of the Transactions described in the joint press release and the joint investor presentation
that was issued by Huntsman and Olin on June 16, 2026. The Direct Merger delivers financial benefits to the Combined Company over and
above those available in the Subsidiary Mergers in terms of capital structure efficiency as it permits the attractively priced long-term
debt of Huntsman to remain in place following the Transactions.
Merger Consideration
At the effective time of the
Direct Merger or the effective time of the First Subsidiary Merger (as applicable, the “Conversion Time”), pursuant
to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Huntsman common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Huntsman Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion Time (other than certain canceled
shares), will be converted into the right to receive 0.5476 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Olin Common Stock (such shares issued as consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).
If the Transactions are effected
pursuant to the Subsidiary Mergers, at the effective time of the Second Subsidiary Merger (the “Second Subsidiary Merger Effective
Time”), by virtue of the Second Subsidiary Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties, the Initial Surviving
Company or the equity holders thereof, (a) each share of common stock of the Initial Surviving Company issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Second Subsidiary Merger Effective Time will automatically be canceled and cease to exist without any conversion or payment
therefor and (b) each unit of Second Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Subsidiary Merger Effective Time
will remain issued and outstanding and will represent validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable units of the Final Surviving Company,
which will constitute the only outstanding units of the Final Surviving Company immediately following the Second Subsidiary Merger Effective
Time.
The shares of Olin Common
Stock to be issued in connection with the Transactions will be listed on the NYSE. No fractional shares of Olin Common Stock will be issued
in the Transactions, and holders of Huntsman Common Stock otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of Olin Common Stock will receive
a cash payment, without interest, in lieu thereof, as specified in the Merger Agreement.
Treatment of Equity Awards
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
at the Conversion Time, each Huntsman stock option outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion Time will be assumed by the Combined
Company and convert into a stock option with respect to a number of shares of Olin Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Huntsman Common Stock subject to such Huntsman stock option immediately prior to the
Conversion Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (i) the
exercise price per share of Huntsman Common Stock of such Huntsman stock option immediately prior to the Conversion Time divided by (ii)
the Exchange Ratio, and otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Huntsman stock option as of immediately
prior to the Conversion Time.
Additionally, each
Huntsman deferred stock unit award, Huntsman phantom share award, Huntsman performance-vesting restricted stock unit award and share
of Huntsman restricted stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion Time will be assumed by the Combined Company
and convert into an award of the same type, on the same terms and conditions (including
with respect to dividends or dividend equivalent rights, but excluding, for Huntsman performance-vesting restricted stock unit
awards, performance goals) as were applicable to such award immediately prior to the Conversion Time, with respect to a number of
shares of Olin Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Huntsman Common Stock subject to such award as of
immediately prior to the Conversion Time (for Huntsman performance-vesting restricted stock unit awards, with performance goals
deemed achieved at target level) and (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number to the nearest whole number of shares
of Olin Common Stock.
Olin equity awards will generally
remain outstanding in accordance with the applicable plan and award agreement terms, except that Olin performance-vesting restricted stock
units will convert to time-vesting restricted stock units with performance deemed achieved at target level and the consummation of Transactions
will be deemed a change in control under the Olin long-term incentive plans.
Combined Company Governance
The Merger Agreement provides
that, as of the Conversion Time, the board of directors of the Combined Company will be comprised of ten (10) members, consisting of (a)
four directors designated from the current board of directors of Olin, each of whom will qualify as an “independent director”
under the listing standards of NYSE and the applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
(b) four directors designated from the current board of directors of Huntsman, each of whom will qualify as an “independent director”
under the listing standards of NYSE and the applicable rules of the SEC, and (c) current President and Chief Executive Officer of Olin,
Kenneth Lane and current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Huntsman, Peter Huntsman. As of the Conversion Time, (i) Kenneth
Lane will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company, (ii) Peter Huntsman will serve as non-executive Chair of the
Combined Company’s board of directors, (iii) current Huntsman Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Phil Lister,
will serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Combined Company, and (iv) current Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
of Olin, Todd Slater, will serve as Chief Integration Officer of the Combined Company. The Combined Company will be named “OlinHuntsman
Corporation” effective as of the Conversion Time and will be headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains
customary representations and warranties of each of Huntsman and Olin relating to their respective businesses, financial statements and
public filings, among other matters, in each case generally subject to customary qualifications. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides
for customary pre-closing covenants of each of Huntsman and Olin, including (a) to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its
business in the ordinary course (subject to certain exceptions); (b) to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts with respect to seeking
regulatory approvals, subject to certain specified limitations; (c) to hold a meeting of its stockholders, to obtain the requisite approvals
contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (d) not to solicit proposals relating to any alternative business combination transactions; and
(e) subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into any discussion concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with,
any such alternative business combination transactions.
Prior to obtaining the
relevant stockholder approval, the board of directors of Huntsman or the board of directors of Olin, as applicable, may change its
recommendation to its stockholders in connection with the Transactions, subject to complying with certain notice and other specified
conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding a change in recommendation by the board of directors of Huntsman or the
board of directors of Olin, unless the Merger Agreement is terminated by the other party, such party is still required to
convene the meeting of its stockholders to obtain the requisite stockholder approvals contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Conditions to the Transactions
The completion of the Transactions
is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (a)(i) the approval by holders of Huntsman Common Stock of a
proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and (ii) the receipt of the Olin Direct Merger Approval or the Olin Share Issuance Approval; (b) the
expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt
of certain other clearances, approvals and consents under certain applicable foreign antitrust and regulatory laws; (c) the absence
of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the Transactions; (d) the effectiveness of a registration statement
on Form S-4 that will be filed by Olin for the issuance of the Merger Consideration and the absence of any stop order or proceedings by
the SEC; (e) the approval of the Merger Consideration to be issued for listing on the NYSE at the Conversion Time; (f) the representations
and warranties of Huntsman and Olin being true and correct (subject to certain qualifications); and (g) the performance in all material
respects by the parties of their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement.
Termination
The Merger Agreement contains
certain termination rights for the parties, including in the event that (a) the parties agree in writing to terminate the Merger Agreement,
(b) the Direct Merger or the Subsidiary Mergers, as applicable, are not consummated on or before the one-year anniversary of the date
of the Merger Agreement (the “Outside Date”), subject to two automatic three-month extensions in the event that regulatory
approvals have not been received but all other conditions have been satisfied or waived, (c) the requisite stockholder approvals of Huntsman
or Olin required in connection with the Transactions are not obtained at their respective stockholder meetings, (d) any legal restraint
having the effect of prohibiting the consummation of the Direct Merger or Subsidiary Mergers, as applicable, will have become final and
non-appealable, or (e) the other party has breached its representations, warranties or covenants in the Merger Agreement, subject to certain
qualifications. In addition, Huntsman and Olin can each terminate the Merger Agreement if the other party’s board of directors has
made an adverse recommendation change in connection with the Transactions, or has failed to include its recommendation in the joint proxy
statement.
The Merger Agreement further
provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including (a) a change in the recommendation
of the board of directors of Huntsman or Olin in connection with the Transactions or certain other proposals, as applicable, or (b) a
termination of the Merger Agreement by Huntsman or Olin because of a failure of the other party to obtain the requisite stockholder approval,
a material breach by the other party, or because the Transactions are not consummated by the Outside Date and at such time the other party
had failed to obtain the requisite stockholder approval, in each case at a time when there was a public offer or proposal for an alternative
transaction with respect to such party that had not been publicly withdrawn at least two (2) business days prior to the event giving rise
to such termination and such party enters into or consummates an alternative transaction within twelve (12) months following such date
of termination, Huntsman or Olin, as the case may be, will pay to the other party a termination fee equal to $121,000,000 in cash. In
addition, in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated by either party due to the other party’s failure to obtain the requisite
stockholder approval under circumstances in which the termination fee is not then payable, the party that failed to obtain the requisite
stockholder approval will pay to the other party an amount equal to all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses in an
amount not to exceed $30,000,000.
The foregoing description
of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties
and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions
embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the parties and are subject to
important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Merger Agreement
has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information
about Huntsman or Olin or any other party to the Merger Agreement or any related agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties
and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were for
the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being
qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement
instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that
differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under
the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as
characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the
subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may
or may not be fully reflected in Olin’s or Huntsman’s public disclosures.

among other things, to vote all of such Holder’s shares of Huntsman Common Stock beneficially owned (a) in favor of the adoption

by the Merger Agreement. The Voting and Support Agreement terminates in certain circumstances as specified in the Voting and Support Agreement.

of proprietary or confidential information through artificial intelligence tools; (j) risks associated with Olin’s and/or Huntsman’s
international sales and operations, including economic, political or regulatory changes; (k) weak industry conditions affecting Olin’s

(f) compliance with data privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data privacy
laws, which could result in substantial fines, penalties and legal liability.
All of Olin’s and Huntsman’s
forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known
to Olin or Huntsman or that Olin or Huntsman consider immaterial could affect the accuracy of the forward-looking statements. These statements
are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, which are difficult to predict and
many of which are beyond the control of Olin and/or Huntsman. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those
matters expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. A further list and descriptions of these risks, uncertainties, and other
factors can be found in Olin’s filings with the SEC, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly

and any Unpaid Dividends, in each case in accordance with this Article III and, in connection therewith, prior to the Closing

(excluding the Fractional Share Consideration) issuable pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or 3.02(a)(iii), as applicable,
and (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the calculation thereof, an amount of cash sufficient to pay the Fractional

(b) Payment
Procedures for Certificates.
(i) As
promptly as reasonably practicable after the Conversion Time, Olin shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person who was, at
the Conversion Time, a holder of record of Certificates (other than Certificates representing a share of Huntsman Common Stock canceled
in accordance with Section 3.01(a) or 3.02(a)) (x) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery
shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of
loss in lieu of Certificates as provided in Section 3.03(g)) to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall
have such other provisions as Olin and Huntsman may reasonably agree) and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
the Certificates to the Exchange Agent.
25
(ii) With
respect to Certificates, upon delivery of a letter of transmittal as contemplated in subsection (i) of this Section 3.03(b),
duly completed and validly executed in accordance with such letter’s instructions (and such other documents as reasonably required
by the Exchange Agent), together with surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent (or an affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate
as provided in Section 3.03(g)), the holder of record of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
the Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends, in each case to be issued or paid in
accordance with this Article III, for each share of Huntsman Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate,
and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each
Certificate (other than Certificates representing a share of Huntsman Common Stock canceled in accordance with Section 3.01(a) or
3.02(a)) shall be deemed at any time after the Conversion Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration
(including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends, in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with this Article III.
(iii) With
respect to Certificates, if payment of the Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends,
in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with this Article III, is to be made to a Person other than the Person
in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, Olin may cause the Exchange Agent to pay or issue the Merger Consideration (including
any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends to such Person only if such Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent,
accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange
Agent that any applicable stock transfer or similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration (including any
Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered
have been paid or are not applicable.
(c) Payment
Procedures for Book-Entry Shares.
(i) The
Persons who were, at the Conversion Time, holders of Book-Entry Shares (other than shares of Huntsman Common Stock canceled in accordance
with Section 3.01(a) or 3.02(a)(ii)) shall not be required to take any action with respect to the exchange
of their Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration.
(ii) With
respect to Book-Entry Shares not held through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as promptly as reasonably practicable
after the Conversion Time, Olin shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to the holder of record of such Book-Entry Shares (A) a
statement reflecting the number of shares of Olin Common Stock issued to such holder as Merger Consideration in the name of such holder
and (B) by check or wire transfer, the amount of any Fractional Share Consideration and any Unpaid Dividends, in each case that
such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article III, as well as appropriate materials advising the holder of
the completion of the Closing.
26
(iii) With
respect to Book-Entry Shares held through DTC, Huntsman and Olin shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and
DTC to ensure that the Exchange Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as soon as reasonably practicable after the Conversion Time,
upon surrender of Book-Entry Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures,
the Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends, in each case to be issued or paid in
accordance with this Article III.
(iv) With
respect to Book-Entry Shares, payment of the Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends,
in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with this Article III, shall only be made to the Person in whose name
such Book-Entry Shares are registered in the stock transfer books of Huntsman as of the Conversion Time.
(d) Fractional
Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Olin Common Stock will be issued as Merger
Consideration upon the conversion of shares of Huntsman Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or 3.02(a)(iii).
In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of record of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who would otherwise be entitled to
such fractional shares shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to the product of
(i) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Olin Common Stock to which such holder would, but for this Section 3.03(d),
be entitled under Section 3.01(b) or 3.02(a)(iii) and (ii) an amount equal to the average of the VWAP
Price on each of the five consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the first Trading Day immediately prior to the Closing Date.
No holder of shares of Huntsman Common Stock shall be entitled by virtue of the right to receive the Fractional Share Consideration to
any dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share of Olin Common Stock. The payment of the Fractional
Share Consideration is not a separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding-off of the fractions
in the exchange.
(e) Distributions
with Respect to Un-surrendered Shares. All shares of Olin Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration shall be deemed issued
and outstanding as of the Conversion Time. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Olin in respect of the Olin Common
Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Conversion Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions
in respect of all shares of Olin Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other
distributions in respect of shares of Olin Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any un-surrendered Certificate (including in respect
of any Book-Entry Shares held by such holder) or any Book-Entry Shares until the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate
as provided in Section 3.03(g)) or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article III.
Subject to applicable Law, following such surrender, there shall be issued or paid to the holder of record of the whole shares of Olin
Common Stock issued in exchange for the Certificates (and any Book-Entry Shares held by such holder) or the Book-Entry Shares, as applicable,
in accordance with this Article III, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions
with a record date after the Conversion Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Olin Common Stock and (ii) at
the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Olin Common Stock with
a record date after the Conversion Time and prior to surrender, but with a payment date subsequent to surrender. Each holder of Book-Entry
Shares of Olin Common Stock shall be entitled to vote after the Conversion Time at any meeting of Olin shareholders with a record date
at or after the Conversion Time the number of whole shares of Olin Common Stock into which the shares represented by such Book-Entry
Shares of Olin Common Stock have been exchanged pursuant to this Article III, regardless of whether such holder has exchanged
any Certificates also held by such holder.
27
(f) Transfer
Books; No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration issued or paid in respect of the Huntsman Common Stock in accordance
with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all ownership rights
in such Equity Interests, and at the Conversion Time, the transfer books of Huntsman shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no
further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Equity Interests in Huntsman that were outstanding immediately prior to
the Conversion Time. From and after the Conversion Time, the holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Conversion Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable
Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 3.03(h), if, at any time after the Conversion Time, Certificates or Book-Entry
Shares are presented to the Combined Company for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.
(g) Lost,
Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. Subject to Section 3.03(j), if any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,
upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required
by the Combined Company or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Combined Company
may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent or, if the
Exchange Fund has terminated, the Combined Company will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration
(including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends, in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with this Article III,
for each share of Huntsman Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate.
(h) Termination
of Exchange Fund. At any time following 180 days after the Conversion Time, the Combined Company shall be entitled to require the
Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund which has not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry
Shares and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Combined Company for, and the Combined Company shall remain
liable for, payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends
that such holder has the right to receive in accordance with this Article III. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts
remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental
Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Combined Company or its designee, free and clear
of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
28
(i) Investment
of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Combined Company. Any interest
and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Combined Company. To the extent, for any reason, the amount in
the Exchange Fund is below that required to make prompt payment of the aggregate cash payments contemplated by this Article III,
the Combined Company shall promptly replace, restore or supplement the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund
is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make the payments of the aggregate cash payments contemplated
by this Article III.
(j) No
Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties, the Combined Company, the Exchange
Agent, or, if applicable, the Initial Surviving Company or the Final Surviving Company shall be liable to any Person for the Merger Consideration
(including any Fractional Share Consideration) and any Unpaid Dividends, in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with this Article III,
properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(k) Withholding
Rights. Each of Olin, Huntsman, the Surviving Corporation, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Exchange Agent, and, if applicable,
the Initial Surviving Company and the Final Surviving Company (in each case, without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold,
or to cause the applicable withholding agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement
such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. Amounts
so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been
paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. If a portion of the shares of Olin Common Stock otherwise
deliverable to a Person is deducted and withheld hereunder, the applicable withholding agent shall be treated as having sold such shares
of Olin Common Stock on behalf of such Person for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the required
withholding and paid such cash proceeds to the applicable Governmental Authority.
Section 3.04 No
Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights. Under Section 262(b) of the DGCL, no appraisal or dissenters’ rights shall
be available to holders of Huntsman Common Stock with respect to the Direct Merger, the First Subsidiary Merger or the other Transactions.

Subsidiary (a) has all requisite power and authority to own, lease or operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as presently conducted and (b) is duly qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or

the Transactions, subject, in the case of the Direct Merger or the Subsidiary Mergers, as applicable, to the receipt of the Huntsman

and delivered by Huntsman and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Olin Parties, constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of Huntsman, enforceable against Huntsman in accordance with its terms, in each case except as enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity
(the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).
(b) The
Huntsman Board has taken all necessary actions so that no “fair price”, “moratorium”, “control share acquisition”

any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Huntsman Material Adverse
Effect or would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impair the ability of Huntsman to consummate the Transactions.

and report financial data, in each case which has not been subsequently remediated or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Huntsman’s internal control over financial reporting. Huntsman
has made available to Olin (A) either materials relating to or a summary of any disclosure of matters described in clause (i) or
(ii) in the preceding sentence made by management of Huntsman to its auditors and the audit committee of the Huntsman Board

of such balance sheet, and each of the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, equity and cash flows included
in or incorporated by reference into Huntsman SEC Documents (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents, or, in the case

of operations, retained earnings (loss) and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of Huntsman and the Huntsman Subsidiaries
for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that
are not or will not be material in amount or effect), in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved,

information supplied by any Olin Party for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.

who have a significant role in Olin’s internal control over financial reporting. Olin has made available to Huntsman (A) either

Section 6.02 No
Solicitation by Olin; Olin Recommendation.
(a) Except
as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the Conversion Time or, if earlier, the termination of
this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, Olin shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Affiliates to,
and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective directors, officers or employees or any of their respective
investment bankers, accountants, attorneys or other advisors, agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”)
not to, directly or indirectly:
(i) initiate,
solicit or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably
be expected to lead to, an Olin Takeover Proposal;
(ii) engage
or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations relating to an Olin Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that
would reasonably be expected to lead to an Olin Takeover Proposal (other than to state that the terms of this Agreement prohibit such
discussions or negotiations or discussions solely to clarify the terms of an Olin Takeover Proposal);
80
(iii) furnish
any information to any Person in connection with an Olin Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be
expected to lead to an Olin Takeover Proposal; or
(iv) otherwise
cooperate in any way with any Person (whether or not a Person making an Olin Takeover Proposal) with respect to an Olin Takeover Proposal
or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Olin Takeover Proposal.
(b) Olin
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all
existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to an Olin Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or
proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Olin Takeover Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential
information previously furnished to any such Person or its Representatives and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data
room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Olin Shareholder Approval, if (A) in response to a written Olin Takeover Proposal
made after the date of this Agreement the Olin Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial
advisor of nationally recognized reputation) both that (I) such Olin Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected
to result in a Superior Olin Proposal and (II) the failure to take the actions referenced in clause (i) or (ii) below
would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (B) such Olin Takeover Proposal
did not result from a breach of Section 6.02(a), Olin and its Representatives at the request of Olin may, subject to compliance
with Section 6.02(f):
(i) furnish
information with respect to Olin and the Olin Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons making such Olin Takeover Proposal (and
its Representatives) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Huntsman or is provided to Huntsman prior
to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person or group of Persons) pursuant to a customary confidentiality
agreement not less restrictive to such Person or group of Persons than the Confidentiality Agreement (except that such confidentiality
agreement (A) need not prohibit the making, or amendment, of an Olin Takeover Proposal, (B) shall not prohibit Olin
from complying with this Section 6.02 or contain terms that would restrict in any manner Olin’s ability to consummate
the Transactions and (C) shall not include any provision providing for an exclusive right to negotiate with Olin prior to the valid
termination of this Agreement); and
(ii) participate
in discussions regarding the terms of such Olin Takeover Proposal and the negotiation of such terms with, and only with, the Person or
group of Persons making such Olin Takeover Proposal (and its or their Representatives). Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed
that any violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.02(a) and this Section 6.02(c) by any
Affiliates of Olin or any of its or their Representatives shall constitute a breach of Section 6.02(a) and this Section 6.02(c) by
Olin.
81
(d) Except
as set forth below, neither the Olin Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or qualify or modify in any manner
adverse to Huntsman), or publicly propose to withdraw (or qualify or modify in any manner adverse to Huntsman), or otherwise make any
statement inconsistent with, the Olin Recommendation, (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve,
recommend or declare advisable, an Olin Takeover Proposal or (C) fail to publicly recommend against any tender offer or exchange
offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act that constitutes an Olin Takeover Proposal (including, for these purposes, by
taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the shareholders of Olin) within 10 Business
Days after the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer (any action in this clause (i) being referred to as an
“Olin Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to
approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow Olin or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum
of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, alliance
agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.02(c)(i))
constituting or related to an Olin Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Olin Shareholder
Approval, but not after, the Olin Board may, subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 6.02 (including Section 6.02(e)),
make an Olin Adverse Recommendation Change in response to (I) an Olin Takeover Proposal received after the execution of this
Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 6.02(a) (and has not then been withdrawn) if the Olin Board determines
in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that such Olin Takeover
Proposal constitutes a Superior Olin Proposal or (II) an Olin Intervening Event, in the case of the foregoing clause (I) or
(II), if the Olin Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally
recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable
Law.
(e) The
Olin Board and any committee thereof shall not, and shall cause Olin not to, make an Olin Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 6.02(d) unless
(i) Olin first delivers to Huntsman a written notice (an “Olin Notice”) (which notice itself shall not constitute
an Olin Adverse Recommendation Change) advising Huntsman that the Olin Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor,
including (x) in the case of a proposed Olin Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Olin Proposal, the material
terms and conditions of such Superior Olin Proposal, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such Superior Olin Proposal
and copies of any Olin Takeover Proposal Materials in respect of such Superior Olin Proposal, or (y) in the case of a proposed Olin
Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Olin Intervening Event, a description of such Olin Intervening Event in reasonable detail,
(ii) to the extent Huntsman wishes to negotiate, Olin has negotiated with, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate with,
Huntsman in good faith during the five Business Days following receipt by Huntsman of the Olin Notice (the “Olin Notice Period”)
in order to enable Huntsman to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or the Transactions such that it would cause such Olin
Takeover Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Olin Proposal or for such Olin Intervening Event to no longer warrant an Olin Adverse
Recommendation Change and (iii) following the Olin Notice Period, and after considering the results of any such negotiations and
giving effect to any written proposals, amendments or modifications made or agreed to by Huntsman, the Olin Board determines in good
faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that (A) in the case
of an Olin Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with an Olin Takeover Proposal, (1) such Olin Takeover Proposal continues
to constitute a Superior Olin Proposal and (2) the failure to make an Olin Adverse Recommendation Change as a result thereof would
reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any amendment
to any financial or other material term of the Olin Takeover Proposal that was previously the subject of the Olin Notice shall require
a new Olin Notice pursuant to clause (i) of this provision) or (B) in the case of an Olin Adverse Recommendation Change
in response to an Olin Intervening Event, (1) such Olin Intervening Event remains in effect and (2) the failure to make an
Olin Adverse Recommendation Change as a result thereof would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under
applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any material changes to the circumstances surrounding such Olin Intervening Event
that were previously the subject of the Olin Notice shall require a new Olin Notice pursuant to clause (i) of this provision).
82
(f) In
addition to the obligations of Olin set forth above, Olin shall promptly, and in any event within twenty-four hours of the receipt thereof
by Olin, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, advise Huntsman orally and in writing of any Olin Takeover
Proposal or any inquiry or proposal or request for information, discussion or negotiation that would reasonably be expected to lead to
an Olin Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Olin Takeover Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the
identity of the Person or group of Persons making any such Olin Takeover Proposal and provide to Huntsman copies of any Olin Takeover
Proposal Materials. Olin shall (i) keep Huntsman informed in all material respects and on a prompt basis of the status and details
(including any change to the terms thereof) of any Olin Takeover Proposal and (ii) provide to Huntsman as soon as practicable after
receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material (including all proposals, counterproposals and drafts
of agreements) exchanged between Olin or any Olin Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Person or group of Persons making any such Olin
Takeover Proposal, on the other hand, that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Olin Takeover Proposal (such correspondence
and other written materials, “Olin Takeover Proposal Materials”).
(g) Nothing
contained in this Section 6.02 shall prohibit Olin from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under
the Exchange Act or making a “stop, look and listen” communication to the shareholders of Olin pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated
under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that in no event shall Olin or the Olin Board or any committee thereof take,
or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 6.02(d).
(h) For
purposes of this Agreement:
“Olin
Intervening Event” means any material event or development or material change in circumstances with respect to Olin and the
Olin Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that (i) was not known to, or reasonably foreseeable (with respect to magnitude or material
consequences) by the Olin Board as of, or prior to, the date of this Agreement and (ii) does not involve or relate to the receipt,
existence or terms of any Olin Takeover Proposal (or any proposal, offer or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Olin
Takeover Proposal or direct and indirect consequence thereof); provided that (w) in no event shall any action that is taken
by Olin or Huntsman to the extent required by the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 7.03, and the consequences of
any such action, constitute an Olin Intervening Event; (x) in no event shall any change in the market price, trading volume or ratings
of any securities or Indebtedness of Olin, any Olin Subsidiary, Huntsman, or any Huntsman Subsidiary or the fact that, in and of itself,
Olin or any Olin Subsidiary meets or exceeds any internal or published projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions in respect of
revenues, earnings or other financial or operating metrics for any period constitute an Olin Intervening Event; provided, however,
that the underlying causes of any such change or event may be considered in determining whether an Olin Intervening Event has occurred;
(y) in no event does the timing of any consents, registrations, approvals, permits, clearances or authorizations required to be
obtained prior to the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute an Olin Intervening Event;
and (z) in no event do changes in general economic, financial or geopolitical conditions, or changes in conditions in the global,
international or U.S. economy of financial markets generally constitute an Olin Intervening Event.
83
“Olin
Takeover Proposal” means a bona fide proposal or offer (whether or not in writing) from any Person or group of Persons
(other than Huntsman or any Huntsman Subsidiary) relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any direct or
indirect (i) acquisition of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Olin and the Olin Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (based on
the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Olin Board or any duly authorized committee thereof), or of assets
to which 20% or more of Olin’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable, including in each case through the
acquisition of one or more Olin Subsidiaries owning such assets, (ii) acquisition of 20% or more of the total outstanding Equity
Interests of Olin (by vote or economic interests), (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any
Person or group of Persons (other than Huntsman or any of the Huntsman Subsidiaries) beneficially owning 20% or more of the total outstanding
Equity Interests of Olin (by vote or economic interests) or (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization,
liquidation, dissolution, spin-off, joint venture or similar transaction involving Olin pursuant to which any Person or group of Persons
(or their equityholders) (other than Huntsman or any of the Huntsman Subsidiaries) would acquire, directly or indirectly, 20% or more
of the consolidated assets of Olin and the Olin Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined
in good faith by the Olin Board or any duly authorized committee thereof), or assets to which 20% or more of Olin’s net revenues
or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable or 20% or more of the total outstanding Equity Interests (by vote or economic interests)
of Olin or of the surviving entity in a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination involving Olin or the resulting
direct or indirect parent of Olin or such surviving entity; provided, however, that this Agreement and the Transactions
shall not be deemed an Olin Takeover Proposal.
“Superior
Olin Proposal” means a bona fide written Olin Takeover Proposal, made after the date of this Agreement and that did
not result from a breach of Section 6.02(a), that would result in any Person or group of Persons (or their equityholders)
(other than Huntsman or any of its Affiliates) becoming, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of all or substantially all of
the consolidated assets of Olin and the Olin Subsidiaries or more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock of Olin,
that the Olin Board has determined in its good-faith judgment (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally
recognized reputation) (i) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms (taking into account all legal, financial,
regulatory and timing aspects of the proposal and the Person or group of Persons making the proposal) and (ii) if consummated, would
result in a transaction more favorable to the shareholders of Olin from a financial point of view than the Transactions (after taking
into account all of the terms and conditions of, and the likelihood of completion of, such offer and of this Agreement (including any
proposed changes to the terms of this Agreement or the Transactions pursuant to Section 6.02(e) and the time likely
to be required to consummate such Olin Takeover Proposal)).
84

Solicitation by Huntsman; Huntsman Recommendation.
(a) Except
as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the Conversion Time or, if earlier, the termination of
this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, Huntsman shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Affiliates

be expected to lead to, a Huntsman Takeover Proposal;

confidential information previously furnished to any such Person or its Representatives and immediately terminate all physical and electronic
data room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives.
85
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Huntsman Stockholder Approval, if (A) in response to a written Huntsman Takeover
Proposal made after the date of this Agreement the Huntsman Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and
a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) both that (I) such Huntsman Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably
be expected to result in a Superior Huntsman Proposal and (II) that the failure to take the actions referenced in clause (i) or
(ii) below would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (B) such
Huntsman Takeover Proposal did not result from a breach of Section 6.03(a), Huntsman and its Representatives at the request
of Huntsman may, subject to compliance with Section 6.03(f):
(i) furnish
information with respect to Huntsman and the Huntsman Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons making such Huntsman Takeover Proposal
(and its Representatives) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Olin or is provided to Olin prior

agreement not less restrictive to such Person or group of Persons than the Confidentiality Agreement (except that such confidentiality
agreement (A) need not prohibit the making, or amendment, of a Huntsman Takeover Proposal, (B) shall not prohibit Huntsman
from complying with this Section 6.03 or contain terms that would restrict in any manner Huntsman’s ability to
consummate the Transactions and (C) shall not include any provision providing for an exclusive right to negotiate with Huntsman
prior to the valid termination of this Agreement); and
(ii) participate
in discussions regarding the terms of such Huntsman Takeover Proposal and the negotiation of such terms with, and only with, the Person
or group of Persons making such Huntsman Takeover Proposal (and its or their Representatives). Without limiting the foregoing, it is
agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.03(a) and this Section 6.03(c) by
any Affiliates of Huntsman or any of its or their Representatives shall constitute a breach of Section 6.03(a) and this
Section 6.03(c) by Huntsman.
(d) Except
as set forth below, neither the Huntsman Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or qualify or modify in any
manner adverse to Olin), or publicly propose to withdraw (or qualify or modify in any manner adverse to Olin), or otherwise make any
statement inconsistent with, the Huntsman Recommendation, (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve,
recommend or declare advisable, a Huntsman Takeover Proposal or (C) fail to publicly recommend against any tender offer or exchange
offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act that constitutes a Huntsman Takeover Proposal (including, for these purposes,
by taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the stockholders of Huntsman) within 10
Business Days after the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer (any action in this clause (i) being referred
to as a “Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose
publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow Huntsman or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter

constituting or related to a Huntsman Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Huntsman Stockholder
Approval, but not after, the Huntsman Board may, subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 6.03 (including Section 6.03(e)),
make a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change in response to (I) a Huntsman Takeover Proposal received after the execution of this
Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 6.03(a) (and has not then been withdrawn) if the Huntsman Board
determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that such
Huntsman Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Huntsman Proposal or (II) a Huntsman Intervening Event, in the case of the foregoing
clause (I) or (II), if the Huntsman Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a
financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with
its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
86
(e) The
Huntsman Board and any committee thereof shall not, and shall cause Huntsman not to, make a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant
to Section 6.03(d) unless (i) Huntsman first delivers to Olin a written notice (a “Huntsman Notice”)

take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including (x) in the case of a proposed Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change
in response to a Superior Huntsman Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Huntsman Proposal, the identity of the
Person or group of Persons making such Superior Huntsman Proposal and copies of any Huntsman Takeover Proposal Materials in respect of

Huntsman has negotiated with, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate with, Olin in good faith during the five Business Days
following receipt by Olin of the Huntsman Notice (the “Huntsman Notice Period”) in order to enable Olin to propose
revisions to the terms of this Agreement or the Transactions such that it would cause such Huntsman Takeover Proposal to no longer constitute
a Superior Huntsman Proposal or for such Huntsman Intervening Event to no longer warrant a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change and
(iii) following the Huntsman Notice Period, and after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to any
written proposals, amendments or modifications made or agreed to by Olin, the Huntsman Board determines in good faith (after consultation
with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that (A) in the case of a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation
Change in connection with a Huntsman Takeover Proposal, (1) such Huntsman Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Huntsman
Proposal and (2) the failure to make a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change as a result thereof would reasonably be expected to
be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any financial or
other material term of the Huntsman Takeover Proposal that was previously the subject of the Huntsman Notice shall require a new Huntsman
Notice pursuant to clause (i) of this provision) or (B) in the case of a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change

Event that were previously the subject of the Huntsman Notice shall require a new Huntsman Notice pursuant to clause (i) of
this provision).
87
(f) In
addition to the obligations of Huntsman set forth above, Huntsman shall promptly, and in any event within twenty-four hours of the receipt
thereof by Huntsman, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, advise Olin orally and in writing of any Huntsman
Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal or request for information, discussion or negotiation that would reasonably be expected
to lead to a Huntsman Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Huntsman Takeover Proposal (including any changes
thereto) and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making any such Huntsman Takeover Proposal and provide to Olin copies of
any Huntsman Takeover Proposal Materials. Huntsman shall (i) keep Olin informed in all material respects and on a prompt basis of
the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any Huntsman Takeover Proposal and (ii) provide to Olin as
soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material (including all proposals,
counterproposals and drafts of agreements) exchanged between Huntsman or any Huntsman Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Person or
group of Persons making any such Huntsman Takeover Proposal, on the other hand, that describes any of the terms or conditions of any
Huntsman Takeover Proposal (such correspondence and other written materials, “Huntsman Takeover Proposal Materials”).
(g) Nothing
contained in this Section 6.03 shall prohibit Huntsman from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated
under the Exchange Act or making a “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of Huntsman pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated
under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that in no event shall Huntsman or the Huntsman Board or any committee thereof
take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 6.03(d).
(h) For
purposes of this Agreement:
“Huntsman
Intervening Event” means any material event or development or material change in circumstances with respect to Huntsman and
the Huntsman Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that (i) was not known to, or reasonably foreseeable (with respect to magnitude or
material consequences) by the Huntsman Board as of, or prior to, the date of this Agreement and (ii) does not involve or relate

any action that is taken by Huntsman or Olin to the extent required by the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 7.03,
and the consequences of any such action, constitute a Huntsman Intervening Event; (x) in no event shall any change in the market
price, trading volume or ratings of any securities or Indebtedness of Huntsman, any Huntsman Subsidiary, Olin, or any Olin Subsidiary
or the fact that, in and of itself, Huntsman or any Huntsman Subsidiary meets or exceeds any internal or published projections, forecasts,

clearances or authorizations required to be obtained prior to the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
constitute a Huntsman Intervening Event; and (z) in no event do changes in general economic, financial or geopolitical conditions,

the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Huntsman Board or any duly authorized committee thereof), or of assets

not file or distribute such document or respond to the SEC prior to receiving the approval of the other party, which approval shall not

further, that the Olin Shareholders Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is on or after the date that is
three Business Days prior to the Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any Olin Adverse Recommendation Change, Olin

solicit the Huntsman Stockholder Approval and, subject to Section 6.03(d), shall, through the Huntsman Board, recommend to
its stockholders that they give the Huntsman Stockholder Approval and shall include such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement,
except to the extent that the Huntsman Board shall have made a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 6.03(d).
Except as expressly contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, Huntsman agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.01

of obtaining the Huntsman Stockholder Approval (including at the request of Olin in connection with the foregoing); provided that,
without the prior written consent of Olin (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Huntsman Stockholders

Approvals necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the Transactions.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 7.03 (but subject to Section 7.03(c)),
each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, prior
to the Outside Date) such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority in connection with any Antitrust Law or

any such Governmental Authority unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental
Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate therein; provided that materials furnished pursuant
to this Section 7.03 may be redacted as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality
concerns. Furthermore, the parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided
to the other under this Section 7.03(b) as “outside counsel only” and such materials and the information
contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel and previously-agreed third-party advisors of the recipient and will not be
disclosed by such outside counsel or third-party advisors to employees, officers or directors of the recipient without the advance written
consent of the party providing such materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Olin and Huntsman shall jointly control all communications

by which the parties will seek required approvals relating to Antitrust Laws and Foreign Investment Laws. The timing of the notifications,
filings and other information required to be filed in connection with the Required Regulatory Approvals will be made by mutual agreement;
provided that, if the parties cannot agree on (a) a jointly developed strategy, including any disagreement regarding when
to make such a filing or any decision contemplated in Section 7.03(c) or (b) whether to make any filings besides
the Regulatory Approvals set forth in Section 1.01(b) of the Huntsman Disclosure Letter, in each case, such matter shall
be referred to the parties’ respective Chief Executive Officers (or such other senior executives as the parties may designate)
who shall use their reasonable best efforts in good faith to resolve such matter.
95
(c) In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Olin and Huntsman shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take all
reasonable actions necessary to secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any other
Antitrust Law or any Foreign Investment Law and resolve any objections asserted with respect to the Transactions under the Antitrust

settlements, undertakings, consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements with any Governmental Authority or with any other Person,
(ii) selling, divesting or otherwise conveying or holding separate (or permitting any party or its Subsidiaries to sell, divest

the applicable Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing and by consenting to such action) (any of the actions described
in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), a “Remedial Action”). Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Olin, Huntsman or any of their respective Subsidiaries be
required to take, or without the prior written consent of the other party be permitted to take or agree to take, any action contemplated
by this Section 7.03(c), including any Remedial Actions, if such action, individually or when aggregated with other such
actions, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations or
financial condition of (1) Olin and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) Huntsman and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole
(whether prior to or following the Transactions, including, if applicable, the Final Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries), in each
case, with materiality determined by reference to a business the size of Huntsman and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Nothing in
this Agreement shall require any party to (x) take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations unless
the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing or (y) agree to any amendments or modifications to
any of the terms of this Agreement.
96
(d) Each
of Olin and Huntsman shall, upon request by the other party, promptly furnish the other party with all information concerning itself,
its Affiliates, directors, officers and shareholders, stockholders and such other matters as may be required or reasonably requested

Subsidiaries to any third party or any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the Transactions.
(e) Each
of Olin and Huntsman shall keep the other party reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the Transactions,

Transactions, other than immaterial communications.

and Huntsman shall not, and shall not permit any Olin Subsidiary or Huntsman Subsidiary, as applicable, to enter into a definitive agreement
after the date of this Agreement providing for, or to consummate, any acquisition, merger, joint venture, partnership, licensing agreement,
collaboration or any other similar type of transaction, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay
or prevent the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Continuing Employees prior to the Conversion Time and, (ii) with respect to the plan year during which the Conversion Time occurs,
any expenses incurred by a Continuing Employee under the applicable Olin Benefit Plan or Huntsman Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying
applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying such requirements
under such Benefit Plans applicable to such Continuing Employee following the Closing Date.
(c) From
and after the Closing Date, the Combined Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide credit to Continuing Employees
for their service recognized by Olin and any Olin Subsidiary or Huntsman and any Huntsman Subsidiary, as applicable, as of the Conversion
Time for purposes of eligibility, vesting, continuous service, determination of service awards, vacation, paid time off and severance
entitlements to the same extent and for the same purposes as such service was credited under the Olin Benefit Plans or Huntsman Benefit
Plans, as applicable; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition
would result in a duplication of benefits or with respect to any defined benefit pension plan, frozen benefit plan, retiree medical plan
(except as explicitly provided for in Section 7.04(d)), equity or equity-based award granted after the Closing Date or nonqualified
deferred compensation plans.
98
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any Continuing Employee who is, or becomes, subject to a Collective Bargaining Agreement, all compensation
and benefits treatment and terms and conditions of employment afforded to such Continuing Employee shall be provided in accordance with
such Collective Bargaining Agreement and the terms of Section 7.04(a) through (c) shall not apply.
(e) The
Combined Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to assume and honor any Huntsman Benefit Plan that is a short-term incentive

the Closing (each, a “Huntsman Ongoing Bonus Plan”) and provide that each Continuing Employee who is a participant
in a Huntsman Ongoing Bonus Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing will remain eligible to receive his or her bonus in accordance
with the terms of such Huntsman Ongoing Bonus Plan (as may be modified by the Combined Company Board to take into account the effect
of the Transactions) (each such bonus, a “Closing-Year Bonus” and, each such Continuing Employee, a “Bonus
Eligible Employee”). The amount of each Bonus Eligible Employee’s Closing-Year Bonus shall be determined based on actual
performance (i) for the period beginning on the first day of the applicable performance period through the Closing by the Compensation
Committee of the Huntsman Board (the “Huntsman Compensation Committee”) in its reasonable discretion and (ii) for
the period beginning on the day immediately following the Closing through the completion of the applicable performance period, by the
compensation committee of the Combined Company Board in its reasonable discretion, in each case, consistent with the terms of the applicable
Huntsman Ongoing Bonus Plan as of the date hereof, which Closing-Year Bonus (if any) shall be paid at such time as bonuses have historically
been paid under the applicable Huntsman Ongoing Bonus Plan; provided that the Bonus Eligible Employee must be employed through
the service date required under the applicable Huntsman Ongoing Bonus Plan in order to be eligible to receive his or her Closing-Year
Bonus (subject to any severance benefits applicable to such Bonus Eligible Employee (including pursuant to Section 7.04(a)(iii))
that may entitle the Bonus Eligible Employee to receive all or a portion of his or her Closing-Year Bonus in connection with a qualifying
termination of employment on or following the Closing).
(f) With
respect to any Olin Benefit Plan that is a short-term incentive compensation plan or program (including annual bonus plans or programs)
with an ongoing performance period as of immediately prior to the Closing (each, an “Olin Ongoing Bonus Plan”), the
Combined Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide that each Continuing Employee who is a participant in an Olin Ongoing
Bonus Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing will remain eligible to receive his or her bonus in accordance with the terms of such
Olin Ongoing Bonus Plan (as may be modified by the Combined Company Board to take into account the effect of the Transactions) (each
such bonus, an “Olin Closing-Year Bonus” and each such Continuing Employee, an “Olin Bonus Eligible Employee”).
The amount of each Olin Bonus Eligible Employee’s Olin Closing-Year Bonus shall be determined based on actual performance (i) for
the period beginning on the first day of the applicable performance period through the Closing, by the Compensation Committee of the
Olin Board in its reasonable discretion and (ii) for the period beginning on the day immediately following the Closing through the
completion of the applicable performance period, by the compensation committee of the Combined Company Board in its reasonable discretion,
in each case, consistent with the terms of the applicable Olin Ongoing Bonus Plan as of the date hereof, which Olin Closing-Year Bonus
(if any) shall be paid at such time as bonuses have historically been paid under the applicable Olin Ongoing Bonus Plan; provided
that the Olin Bonus Eligible Employee must be employed through the service date required under the applicable Olin Ongoing Bonus Plan
in order to be eligible to receive his or her Olin Closing-Year Bonus (subject to any severance benefits applicable to such Olin Bonus
Eligible Employee (including pursuant to Section 7.04(a)(iii)) that may entitle the Olin Bonus Eligible Employee to receive
all or a portion of his or her Olin Closing-Year Bonus in connection with a qualifying termination of employment on or following the
Closing).
99
(g) Prior
to the Conversion Time, the Huntsman Board and the Olin Board shall take all actions necessary to provide that the Transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are deemed to constitute a “Change in Control” or “Change of Control” (or term of similar import)
for purposes of each Huntsman Benefit Plan or Olin Benefit Plan listed on Section 4.10(a) of the Huntsman Disclosure Letter
and Section 5.10(a) of the Olin Disclosure Letter.
(h) If
requested in writing by Olin no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Conversion Time, the Huntsman Board (or the appropriate committee
thereof) shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Huntsman Salary Deferral Plan (the “Huntsman 401(k) Plan”),
with such termination to be effective as of the day prior to the First Effective Time. Huntsman shall provide Olin, prior to the Conversion
Time, with evidence that such plan has been terminated (the form and substance of which shall be subject to reasonable review and comment
by Olin). If the Huntsman 401(k) Plan is terminated, each employee of Huntsman and each Huntsman Subsidiary shall be eligible to
participate, effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the Conversion Time, in a 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained
by Olin or one of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Combined Company) (an “Olin 401(k) Plan”).
Huntsman and Olin shall take any and all actions as may be required, including amendments to the Olin 401(k) Plan, to permit each
employee of Huntsman and each Huntsman Subsidiary who is then actively employed to make rollover contributions to the Olin 401(k) Plan
of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in the form of cash, notes
(in the case of loans) or a combination thereof.
(i) The
provisions of this Section 7.04 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no labor union or labor
organization, collective bargaining unit, works council or other labor organization, current or former employee or any other individual
associated with any of the foregoing, is or shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, (i) constitute the establishment
of, or an amendment to, any Benefit Plan, (ii) alter or limit the ability of Huntsman or Olin to amend, modify or terminate any
Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions
of this Section 7.04, (iv) prevent the Combined Company or any of its Subsidiaries, after the Conversion Time, from
terminating the employment of any employee or (v) be deemed to confer upon any such individual or legal representative any rights
under or with respect to any plan, program or arrangement described in or contemplated by this Agreement, and each such individual or
legal representative shall be entitled to look only to the express terms of any such plan, program or arrangement for his or her rights
thereunder.

such resolutions and take such other actions as may be required to provide that, at the Conversion Time:
(i) each
Huntsman Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the
part of the holder thereof, be assumed by the Combined Company and convert into a stock option with respect to a number of shares of
Olin Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Huntsman Common
Stock subject to such Huntsman Stock Option immediately prior to the Conversion Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise
price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Huntsman Common Stock of such
Huntsman Stock Option immediately prior to the Conversion Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and otherwise subject to
the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Huntsman Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Conversion Time (each,
a “Huntsman Assumed Stock Option”); provided, that the number of shares of Olin Common Stock subject to, and
the exercise price of, any Huntsman Assumed Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code; provided, further, that the Huntsman Assumed Stock Options shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions
as set forth on Section 7.05(a)(i) of the Huntsman Disclosure Letter, and
(ii) each
Huntsman DSU, each Huntsman Phantom Share, each Huntsman PSU and each share of Huntsman Restricted Stock (collectively, the “Huntsman
Full-Value Awards”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion Time shall, automatically and without any required
action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by the Combined Company and convert into an award of the same type, on the same
terms and conditions (including with respect to dividends or dividend equivalent rights, but excluding, for Huntsman PSUs, performance
goals) as were applicable to such Huntsman Full-Value Award immediately prior to the Conversion Time, with respect to a number of shares
of Olin Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Huntsman Common Stock subject to such Huntsman Full-Value
Award as of immediately prior to the Conversion Time (for Huntsman PSUs, with performance goals deemed achieved at target level) and
(B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number to the nearest whole number of Olin Common Stock (each such award, a “Huntsman

goals deemed achieved at target level.
101
(c) As

Form S-4 or Form S-3 as the case may be, or any successor or other appropriate forms, and, thereafter, the Combined Company
shall deliver to holders of Huntsman Assumed Stock Options and Huntsman Assumed Full-Value Awards any applicable prospectus and shall
maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, including the current status of any related prospectus, for so long as the
Huntsman Assumed Stock Options and Huntsman Assumed Full-Value Awards remain outstanding.
Section 7.06 Indemnification,
Exculpation and Insurance.
(a) From
and after the Conversion Time, the Combined Company shall, and, if applicable, shall cause the Final Surviving Company to, (i) indemnify,
defend and hold harmless, in each case to the fullest extent permissible by applicable Law, each former and present director or officer
of Olin or Huntsman or any of their respective Subsidiaries and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise if such service was at
the request of Olin or Huntsman or any of their respective Subsidiaries (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or
administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines
and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any Action, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Conversion Time (including
this Agreement and the Transactions), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director
of Olin or Huntsman or any of their respective Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of Olin or Huntsman or any of their respective
Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Conversion Time as provided
in their respective Organizational Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement set forth on Section 7.06
of the Olin Disclosure Letter to which Olin or any Olin Subsidiary is a party or Section 7.06 of the Huntsman Disclosure Letter
to which Huntsman or any Huntsman Subsidiary is a party and (ii) assume (in the case of the Direct Merger, without any further action
by the Combined Company, and in the case of the Final Surviving Company, with respect to the Subsidiary Mergers, if applicable, without
any further action) all obligations of Olin, Huntsman and such respective Subsidiaries to the Indemnified Parties in respect of indemnification,
advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Conversion Time as provided
in their respective Organizational Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement set forth on Section 7.06
of the Olin Disclosure Letter to which Olin or any Olin Subsidiary is a party or Section 7.06 of the Huntsman Disclosure Letter
to which Huntsman or any Huntsman Subsidiary is a party. For a period of six years from the Conversion Time, the Combined Company shall
not amend, release or otherwise modify (or permit to be amended, released or otherwise modified) any such provisions or the indemnification,
exculpation or advancement of expenses provisions of the Huntsman Charter, the Olin Charter or any of its Subsidiaries’ (including,
if applicable, the Final Surviving Company’s) Organizational Documents in effect immediately prior to the Conversion Time in any
manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individual who immediately before the Conversion Time was an Indemnified
Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim
made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. In addition, from and after
the Conversion Time, the Combined Company shall, and, if applicable, shall cause the Final Surviving Company to, without requiring a
preliminary determination of entitlement to indemnification, advance any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any
Indemnified Party under this Section 7.06 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred
to in this Section 7.06) as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. The obligations of the Combined
Company and, if applicable, the Final Surviving Company under this Section 7.06 shall be joint and several.
102
(b) None
of the Combined Company, the Final Surviving Company (if applicable) or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall settle, compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions
covered under this Section 7.06 (each, a “Claim”) for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified
Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability
arising out of such Claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Each of
the Combined Company, the Final Surviving Company (if applicable), their respective Subsidiaries and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate
in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be
furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may
be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
(c) For
a period of six years from the Conversion Time, the Combined Company shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by
the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date of
this Agreement by Huntsman and the Huntsman Subsidiaries from a carrier with comparable or better credit ratings to Huntsman’s
existing directors’ and officers’ insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policy carrier and on terms and conditions
not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance
coverage currently maintained by Huntsman with respect to claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred on or before
the Conversion Time (including this Agreement and the Transactions); provided, however, that the Combined Company shall
not be obligated to expend an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by Huntsman for such
insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and, if such premiums for such insurance would exceed the Premium Cap, then the Combined
Company shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in its good-faith determination, provide maximum coverage available
at a cost equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, Huntsman may in its discretion purchase, and Olin may in its discretion
purchase if Huntsman declines to do so, a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability
insurance policy covering the six-year period from and after the Conversion Time from a carrier with comparable or better credit ratings
to Huntsman’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policy carrier and on terms
and conditions not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary
liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Huntsman, with respect to claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that
occurred on or before the Conversion Time; provided that the aggregate premium for such “tail” does not, in the aggregate,
exceed the Premium Cap.
103
(d) In
the event that the Combined Company, the Final Surviving Company (if applicable) or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates
with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers
or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Combined Company and
the Final Surviving Company, as applicable, shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Combined
Company or the Final Surviving Company (if applicable), as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.06.
(e) The
provisions of this Section 7.06 (i) shall survive consummation of the Transactions, (ii) are intended to be for
the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Indemnified Parties), his or her heirs and
his or her representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution
that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

all documentation and other information required with respect to Huntsman and the Huntsman Subsidiaries in connection with applicable
“know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III
of Pub. L. 107-56 and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230, the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, (v) provide,
as promptly as reasonably practicable, (a) the Required Financial Information and (b) any other historic information with respect

pro forma consolidated balance sheets and related pro forma consolidated statements of income for historical periods, (vi) directing
its independent accountants to provide assistance and cooperation with any offering of securities, including (x) providing any necessary

and (viii) amend or supplement any information supplied by or on behalf of Huntsman or any Huntsman Subsidiary to Olin or the Financing
Sources reasonably promptly to the extent such information, to the Knowledge of Huntsman, taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement
of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make such information, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not materially misleading.
104
(b) (i) The
cooperation set forth in Section 7.07(a) shall not be required to the extent that it would (A) require Huntsman
to take any action that, in the good-faith judgment of Huntsman, unreasonably interferes with the ongoing business or operations of Huntsman

an alternative means of disclosing or providing such information, and in the case of any confidentiality obligation, Huntsman shall,
to the extent permitted by such confidentiality obligations, notify Olin if any such information that Olin has specifically identified

anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Olin’s obligations hereunder are not conditioned in any manner upon Olin
obtaining the Financing, or any other financing, (iii) a breach by Huntsman of Section 7.07(a) shall not

and expenses of counsel, accountant, investment bankers, experts and consultants) incurred by Olin or any of its Affiliates in connection
with this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Olin Expenses”) in an amount not to exceed $30,000,000; provided,
that the payment by Huntsman of the Olin Expenses pursuant to this Section 9.03(f), (i) shall not release Huntsman of
any subsequent obligation to pay the Olin Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.03(c) except to the extent indicated
in such Section and (ii) shall not relieve Huntsman from any liability or damage resulting from any fraud or a Willful Breach
of any of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement. Huntsman shall pay the Olin Expenses
within two Business Days after the date of termination to Olin by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
118
(g) In
the event that this Agreement is terminated by Olin or Huntsman pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iv) (Failure to Obtain
Olin Shareholder Approval) under circumstances in which the Olin Termination Fee is not then payable pursuant to Section 9.03(b)(ii),
then Olin shall pay to Huntsman an amount equal to all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees
and expenses of counsel, accountant, investment bankers, experts and consultants) incurred by Huntsman or any of its Affiliates in connection
with this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Huntsman Expenses”) in an amount not to exceed $30,000,000; provided,
that the payment by Olin of the Huntsman Expenses pursuant to this Section 9.03(g), (i) shall not release Olin of any
subsequent obligation to pay the Huntsman Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.03(b) except to the extent indicated
in such Section and (ii) shall not relieve Olin from any liability or damage resulting from any fraud or a Willful Breach of
any of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement. Olin shall pay the Huntsman Expenses within
two Business Days after the date of termination to Huntsman by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
(h) Subject
in all respects to the parties’ injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 10.08,
in the event a Termination Fee or Termination Expenses becomes due and payable to a party in accordance with this Agreement, the payment
of such fee, such expense and any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 9.03(h) shall be, except in the event of fraud
or Willful Breach, the sole and exclusive remedy of such party and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future
general or limited partners, stockholders, financing sources, managers, members, directors, officers and Affiliates against the other
party and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, financing
sources, managers, members, directors, officers or Affiliates for (i) any loss, liability or damages suffered, directly or indirectly,
as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, (ii) the termination of this Agreement, (iii) any liabilities
or obligations arising under this Agreement or (iv) any claims or actions or other losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement. While a party may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance
with Section 10.08 and the payment of the applicable Termination Fee or Termination Expenses under this Section 9.03,
under no circumstances shall such party be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the
Closing and any money damages, including all or any portion of the applicable Termination Fee or Termination Expenses.
(i) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement (other than with respect to claims for, or arising out of or in connection with fraud or a Willful
Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, or with respect to claims pursuant to the
Confidentiality Agreement), the parties agree that each of the Huntsman Termination Fee and the Olin Termination Fee constitute liquidated
damages, and not a penalty, in reasonable amounts that will compensate Huntsman or Olin, as applicable, in the circumstances in which
such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance
on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amounts would
otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Huntsman and Olin acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Section 9.03(b) through
Section 9.03(d) and Section 9.03(f) through Section 9.03(g) are an integral part of
the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, Huntsman and Olin would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if either
Huntsman or Olin fails to promptly pay the amount due from such party pursuant to Section 9.03(b) (Olin Termination
Fee), Section 9.03(c) (Huntsman Termination Fee), Section 9.03(f) (Olin Expenses)
or Section 9.03(g) (Huntsman Expenses) as applicable, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences
an Action that results in a Judgment in its favor for such payment, Huntsman or Olin, as applicable, shall pay to the other party such
payment and its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Action, together with interest
on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate as published
in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually
received.
119
Section 9.04 Amendment.
Prior to the Conversion Time, this Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before or after receipt of the Olin Shareholder
Approval or the Huntsman Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that (i) after receipt of the Olin Shareholder Approval,
there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the shareholders of Olin without the further approval of such
shareholders and (ii) after receipt of the Huntsman Stockholder Approval, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires
further approval by the stockholders of Huntsman without the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended
except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.
Section 9.05 Extension;
Waiver. At any time prior to the Conversion Time, the parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations
or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (c) waive compliance with any covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement or (d) waive the satisfaction of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement. No extension or waiver by Huntsman
shall require the approval of the stockholders of Huntsman unless such approval is required by Law and no extension or waiver by Olin
shall require the approval of the shareholders of Olin unless such approval is required by Law. Any agreement on the part of a party
to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure
of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
Article X
General Provisions
Section 10.01 Nonsurvival
of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant
to this Agreement shall survive the Conversion Time. This Section 10.01 shall not limit Section 9.02 or any covenant
or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Conversion Time.
120

Section 10.03 Severability.
If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by, due to or as a result
of any Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to
any party or such party waives its rights under this Section 10.03 with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any
term, condition or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions
are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 10.04 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic signature), all of which shall be considered one
and the same agreement, and shall become effective when the remaining counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered
to the other parties.
Section 10.05 Entire
Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (and the Exhibits, documents and instruments referred to herein), taken together
with the Confidentiality Agreement, (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the Transactions and (b) is not intended to confer upon any Person other
than the parties any rights or remedies, except for: (i) if the Conversion Time occurs, the right of Huntsman stockholders to receive
the Merger Consideration as provided in Article III; (ii) if the Conversion Time occurs, the rights of the Indemnified
Parties set forth in Section 7.06; and (iii) following the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX,
subject to Section 9.02, Section 9.05 and the last sentence of this Section 10.05, the right of Olin
or Huntsman, as a representative of their respective holders of shares of Olin Common Stock or Huntsman Common Stock (who are third-party
beneficiaries hereunder solely to the extent necessary for this clause (iii) to be enforceable), to pursue any damages (including
damages based on loss of the economic benefit of the Transactions to Huntsman or the holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock or Olin
or the holders of shares of Olin Common Stock, as applicable). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise required
by applicable Law, the rights granted pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 10.05 and the provisions
of Section 9.02 with respect to the recovery of damages based on the losses suffered by Huntsman or the holders of shares
of Huntsman Common Stock or Olin or the holders of shares of Olin Common Stock, as applicable (including the loss of the economic benefit
of the Transactions to Huntsman or the holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock or Olin or the holders of shares of Olin Common Stock,
as applicable, pursuant to Section 261 of the DGCL, or otherwise) shall only be enforceable on behalf of the holders of shares of
Huntsman Common Stock by Huntsman or the holders of Olin Common Stock by Olin, as applicable, in their respective sole and absolute discretion,
as representatives of the respective holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock or Olin Common Stock, as applicable; provided
that, in such capacity as a representative of the holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock or Olin Common Stock, as applicable, Huntsman
or Olin, as applicable, shall (x) be entitled to reimbursement from any such recovery of damages of its reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees determined by reference to
standard hourly rates) that have been incurred by Huntsman or Olin, as applicable, in connection with acting as a representative of the
holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock or Olin Common Stock, as applicable, pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 10.05
and (y) not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that Huntsman’s
or Olin’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the cause of any direct loss to the holders of shares of Huntsman
Common Stock or Olin Common Stock, as applicable; provided, further, that any such damages recovered by Huntsman or Olin,
as applicable, may, in Huntsman’s or Olin’s respective sole and absolute discretion, be either (1) distributed, in whole
or in part, by Huntsman to the holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock of record as of any date determined by Huntsman or by Olin
to holders of shares of Olin Common Stock of record as of any date determined by Olin, as applicable or (2) retained by Huntsman
for the use and benefit of Huntsman on behalf of the holders of shares of Huntsman Common Stock in any manner Huntsman deems appropriate,
or retained by Olin for the use and benefit of Olin on behalf of the holders of shares of Olin Common Stock in any manner Olin deems
appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Huntsman Disclosure Letter and the Olin Disclosure Letter
shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement as provided in Section 268(b) of the DGCL.
122
Section 10.06 Governing
Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(a) This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, and any claim arising out of, relating
to or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of Laws
principles that would otherwise result in the application of any Law other than the Laws of the State of Delaware (except that matters
relating to the fiduciary duties of the Olin Board shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia).
(b) All
Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over any Action, any state or federal court
of competent jurisdiction within the State of Delaware). The parties hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of such courts in any such Action, (ii) waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance
of any such Action, (iii) agree to not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or otherwise request for leave from
any such court and (iv) agree to not bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court
other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over
any Action, any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Delaware), except for Actions brought to enforce
the judgment of any such court. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 10.06(b) shall not
constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided
in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties. Each party agrees that service of process
upon such party in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier
at the address set forth in Section 10.02 of this Agreement. Huntsman and each Olin Party each agrees that a final judgment
in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment
relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court judgment.
123
Section 10.07 Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by
operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment
without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of,
and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 10.08 Specific
Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages (including
any fees payable pursuant to Section 9.03), even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly
agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement
for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are
entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid,
contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages (including any fees payable pursuant to
Section 9.03, which are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of
this Agreement) would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.
Section 10.09 Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE
COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.09.

Execution Version
VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT
THIS VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT
is dated as of June 15, 2026 (this “Agreement”), by and among each stockholder of Huntsman Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“Huntsman”), set forth on Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Holder” and collectively,
the “Holders”), Olin Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Olin”), Olympus Merger Sub, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Olin (“First Merger Sub”), and Hook Merger Sub LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Olin (“Second Merger Sub” and, collectively
with Olin and First Merger Sub, the “Olin Parties”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Olin, Huntsman, First
Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended
or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) providing for, among other things, a strategic business
combination transaction, pursuant to which either (a) the merger of Huntsman with and into Olin, with Olin surviving (the “Direct
Merger”) or (b) (x) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Huntsman (the “First Subsidiary Merger”),
with Huntsman surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Olin, and (y) immediately following the First Subsidiary Merger, and
as part of the same overall transaction as the First Subsidiary Merger, the Initial Surviving Company will be merged with and into Second
Merger Sub (the “Second Subsidiary Merger” and, together with the First Subsidiary Merger, the “Subsidiary
Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Olin;
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof,
each Holder Beneficially Owns (as defined below) such number of shares of Huntsman Common Stock set forth opposite such Holder’s
name on Exhibit A hereto (with respect to each Holder, such shares are referred to herein as such Holder’s “Subject
Shares”);
WHEREAS, concurrently with
the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and an inducement to the Olin Parties entering into the Merger
Agreement, each Holder is entering into this Agreement with respect to its Subject Shares;
WHEREAS, each Holder delivers
this Agreement to Huntsman and acknowledges that Huntsman, without being formally a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to rely
on such Holder’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Olin Parties
desire that each Holder agree, and each Holder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below)
any of its Subject Shares (except as permitted in this Agreement), and to vote its Subject Shares that are outstanding as of the applicable
record date in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Transactions.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
Article I
GENERAL
1.1 Definitions.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
“Beneficially Own”
or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s
beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective
of whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial
Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities.
“Beneficial Owner”
means, in respect of a security, the Person(s) who Beneficially Own(s) such security.
“Group” has the
meaning assigned to such term in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13D-G thereunder.
“Immediate Family”
means the spouse of an individual and the grandparents, parents, siblings and children (and children and spouses of any of the foregoing)
of the individual or his or her spouse. An adopted child will be treated as a child of his or her adoptive parent or parents (but only
if he or she was adopted before he or she reached 21 years of age).
“Permitted Transferee”
means (1) any controlled Affiliate of such Holder which remains such, (2) a partner or member, active or retired, of such Holder
or a stockholder of such Holder, (3) the estate of any such Holder or a trust established for the benefit of the descendants or any
relatives or spouse of such Holder, (4) a parent corporation or wholly-owned subsidiary of such Holder or to a wholly-owned subsidiary
of such parent unless and until such transferee ceases to be a parent or wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holder or a wholly-owned subsidiary
of such parent, (5) a member of the Immediate Family of such Holder or (6) any Person in accordance with bona fide estate planning
or estate administration purposes.
“Transfer” means,
in respect of a Holder’s Subject Shares, any direct or indirect: (1) offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge,
gift, hedge, short sale, distribution, grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other similar transfer or disposal
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deposit, submission or other tendering into any tender or exchange offer), change, limit or
entry into or acquisition of any derivative arrangement, by operation of law or otherwise and whether voluntary or involuntary, (2) entry
into any option, contract, agreement or other arrangement to do any of the foregoing in clause (1) and (3) entry into any swap
or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that results in an amount of Subject Shares subject to Article III
that is less than the amount of Subject Shares subject to Article III as of the date hereof (including, in the case of each
of clauses (1), (2) and (3), through the Transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person).
2
Article II
AGREEMENT TO RETAIN SHARES
2.1 Transfer
and Encumbrance of Shares.
(a) From
the date hereof until the Termination Date (as defined below), each Holder shall not (i) Transfer any of its Subject Shares except
as permitted by this Agreement, (ii) deposit any of its Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement
with respect to any of its Subject Shares or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto
or (iii) give instructions with respect to the voting of any of its Subject Shares in any manner that is inconsistent or otherwise
take any other action with respect to any of its Subject Shares that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance
by such Holder of its obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Holder may Transfer its Subject Shares:
(i) to
one or more of its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees who, as a condition to the consummation of such Transfer, executes and delivers
to Huntsman and Olin a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Olin, to assume such Holder’s obligations
hereunder and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as such Holder is bound hereunder and to make each of the
representations and warranties hereunder in respect of the Subject Shares transferred as such Holder shall have made hereunder;
(ii) with
the prior written consent of Olin; or
(iii) in
connection with the satisfaction of the exercise price or a withholding tax liability incident to the vesting, exercise or settlement
of any Huntsman Equity Awards.
2.2 Additional
Purchases; Adjustments. Each Holder agrees that any shares of capital stock or other equity of Huntsman that such Holder purchases
or otherwise acquires or with respect to which such Holder otherwise acquires voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior
to the Termination Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted such
Holder’s Subject Shares as of the date hereof. Each Holder agrees that, in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of Huntsman affecting
the Subject Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to resulting securities that are Beneficially Owned by such Holder.
2.3 Unpermitted
Transfers; Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Subject Shares in violation of this Article II
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of such Holder’s
Subject Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees
of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this
Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date.
3
Article III
AGREEMENT TO VOTE
3.1 Agreement
to Vote. Prior to the Termination Date, each Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall, at any meeting of the
stockholders of Huntsman (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, appear at such
meeting or otherwise cause such Holder’s Subject Shares that are outstanding as of the applicable record date and as to which such
Holder has direct voting power to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and vote, or cause to be voted
at such meeting, or, if any action is to be taken by written consent in lieu of a stockholder meeting, execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, a written consent with respect to, all such Subject Shares:
(a) in
favor of (A) the adoption of the Merger Agreement and, without limiting the penultimate sentence of this Section 3.1,
any amended and restated Merger Agreement or amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”), and approving
any other matters necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Direct Merger
and the Subsidiary Mergers, and all other matters presented to stockholders of Huntsman by the Huntsman Board in connection with the Merger
Agreement, and (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone any such meeting of the stockholders of Huntsman to a later date if there
are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Proposal; and
(b) against
(A) any agreement, transaction or proposal that relates to a Huntsman Takeover Proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement
or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Transactions or matters contemplated
by the Merger Agreement; (B) any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or
any other obligation or agreement of Huntsman or any of its Subsidiaries contained in the Merger Agreement or of such Holder contained
in this Agreement; (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (1) any condition to the consummation
of the Transactions set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (2) any change to the voting rights
of any class of shares of capital stock of Huntsman (including any amendments to Huntsman’s organizational documents); and (D) any
other action that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, materially delay, or materially and adversely affect the Transactions
or this Agreement. Any attempt by such Holder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting
power of) its Subject Shares over which such Holder has direct voting power in contravention of this Section 3.1 shall be
null and void ab initio. If such Holder is the Beneficial Owner, but not the holder of record, of any of its Subject Shares, such
Holder agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause such holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect
to) all of such Subject Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary
in this Agreement, this Section 3.1 shall not require any Holder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to
be voted) any of its Subject Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces or has the
effect of reducing the amount or changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable, imposes any material restrictions on or additional
material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Outside Date or otherwise adversely affects such Holder (in
its capacity as a stockholder of Huntsman) in any material respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Holder
shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) its Subject Shares with respect to any matter other than as
set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b) in any manner such Holder deems appropriate, including
in connection with the election of directors of Huntsman.
4
Article IV
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
4.1 Further
Assurances. Each Holder agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, such Holder shall and shall
cause its controlled Affiliates to take no action that would reasonably be likely to adversely affect or delay the ability to perform
its respective covenants and agreements under this Agreement.
4.2 Fiduciary
Duties. Each Holder is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the Beneficial Owner of its Subject Shares and nothing
herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by such Holder or any of such Holder’s designees serving in his
or her capacity as a director or officer of Huntsman (or a Subsidiary of Huntsman). The taking of any actions (or failures to act) by
such Holder or such Holder’s designees serving as a director of Huntsman (in such capacity as a director) shall not be deemed to
constitute a breach of this Agreement.

on the right to vote or otherwise Transfer such Subject Shares), except as provided under this Agreement, as noted on Exhibit A,
or pursuant to any applicable restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and, as to such Subject Shares that are subject to vesting
or forfeiture, except as provided in the applicable benefit plans and award agreements of Huntsman.
(b) Power

is a party obligating such Holder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred to any Person any of its Subject Shares and (ii) no Person

5
(c) Organization;
Authority. If such Holder is an entity, such Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its
jurisdiction of formation. Such Holder has full power and authority and is duly authorized to make, enter into and carry out the terms
of this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. If such Holder is an individual, such Holder has all necessary legal capacity,
power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement
has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other
party hereto), constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms
except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception; and no other action is necessary to authorize
the execution and delivery by such Holder or the performance of such Holder’s obligations hereunder.
(d) No
Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by such Holder of this Agreement will not (i) violate any provision of any
Law applicable to such Holder or by which any of such Holder’s Subject Shares are bound; (ii) violate any order, judgment or
decree applicable to such Holder or any of its Affiliates or by which any of such Holder’s Subject Shares are bound; or (iii) conflict
with, or result in a breach or default under, any agreement or instrument to which such Holder or any of its Affiliates is a party or
any term or condition of its certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or comparable organizational documents, as

impede or materially delay such Holder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions
on a timely basis.
(e) Consents
and Approvals. Neither the execution and delivery by such Holder of this Agreement, nor the performance of such Holder’s obligations
hereunder, require such Holder or any of its Affiliates to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing

Exchange Act.
(f) Absence
of Litigation. To the knowledge of such Holder, as of the date hereof, there is no Action pending against, or threatened in writing
against, such Holder that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent, impede or materially delay such
Holder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions on a timely basis.
(g) Absence
of Other Voting Agreements. None of the Subject Shares of such Holder is subject to any voting trust, proxy or other agreement, arrangement
or restriction or other Lien with respect to voting, in each case, that is inconsistent with this Agreement. None of the Subject Shares
of such Holder is subject to any pledge agreement pursuant to which such Holder does not retain voting rights with respect to its Subject

Article VI
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 No
Solicitation. Each Holder, solely in its capacity as a stockholder of Huntsman, agrees that it will not, and will cause its controlled
Affiliates not to, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, take any
action that would violate Section 6.03 of the Merger Agreement as if such Holder were deemed to be Huntsman for purposes of Section 6.03
of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Huntsman participates in discussions or negotiations with a
Person regarding a Huntsman Takeover Proposal in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Merger Agreement, such Holder and/or any of
its Representatives may engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person, provided that Huntsman remains at all times in
full compliance with its obligations under Section 6.03 of the Merger Agreement.
6.2 Non-Recourse.
This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may only be brought against, the individual and entities that are expressly named as
parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party, provided that
Huntsman, without being formally a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce each Holder’s obligations
under this Agreement. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken
by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator,
member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, consultant or Representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing
shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants,
agreements or other obligations or liabilities of or made under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or of or for
any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.3 No
Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Olin any direct or indirect ownership or incidence
of ownership of or with respect to the Subject Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Shares
shall remain vested in and belong to the applicable Holder, and Olin shall not have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate,
govern or administer any of the policies or operations of Huntsman or exercise any power or authority to direct any Holder in the voting
or disposition of any Subject Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
6.4 Disclosure.
Each Holder agrees that it will not, and will cause its controlled Affiliates not to, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause its
and their Representatives not to, make any public announcement or other communication to a third party regarding the Merger Agreement,
the Transactions or this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Olin, except (a) to
Affiliates and Representatives of such Holder or (b) as may be required by applicable Law (provided that, to the extent it is reasonably
practicable and permitted by applicable Law, reasonable notice of any such disclosure required by applicable Law will be provided to Olin,
and such Holder will consider in good faith the reasonable comments of Olin with respect to such disclosure and otherwise reasonably cooperate
with Olin in obtaining confidential treatment with respect to such disclosure, in each case, at Olin’s sole cost and expense). Each
Holder consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Huntsman and Olin of such Holder’s identity and holding of its
Subject Shares, and the terms of this Agreement (including, for avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of this Agreement), in any press release,
the Proxy Statement and any other disclosure document required in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. Each Holder
agrees to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, give Huntsman and Olin any information with respect to such Holder’s Beneficial
Ownership of its Subject Shares as Huntsman and Olin may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and
such Holder agrees to promptly notify Olin and Huntsman of any required corrections with respect to any such information supplied by such
Holder specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have, to the knowledge
of such Holder, become false or misleading in any material respect.
7
6.5 Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate at the earliest of: (i) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms,
(ii) the date of any modification, waiver or amendment to any provision of the Merger Agreement that reduces or has the effect of
reducing the amount or changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material
conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Outside Date or otherwise adversely affects such Holder (in its capacity
as a stockholder of Huntsman) in any material respect, (iii) a Huntsman Adverse Recommendation Change, or (iv) the Conversion
Time (such date, the “Termination Date”); provided that this Article VI shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5, this Agreement shall become void and of
no further force or effect, with no liability on the part of any party hereto, provided, however, that no termination of
this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any liability to any other party arising out of or in connection with a willful breach
of this Agreement. Nothing in the Merger Agreement shall relieve any Holder from any liability arising out of or in connection with a
willful breach of this Agreement.
6.6 Amendment.
To the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the
parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
6.7 Reliance.
Each Holder understands and acknowledges that Huntsman and the Olin Parties are entering into the Merger Agreement and this Agreement
in reliance upon such Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.
6.8 Extension;
Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Closing, any party or parties hereto may, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of
the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party
or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements
or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto
to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties,
as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.
8
6.9 Express
Third-Party Beneficiary. Huntsman may rely upon this Agreement and enforce the provisions hereof as an intended and express third-party
beneficiary.
6.10 Notices.
All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly

6.11 Interpretation.
When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of,
or an Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or
“including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.
The words “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words
of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.
The words “date hereof” when used in this Agreement shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The words “or”,
“any” and “either” are not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent”
shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The word “will”
shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are
applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders
of such terms. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, any Law defined or referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended,
modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor Laws, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
References to a Person are also to its permitted assigns and successors. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation
of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted
by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any
of the provisions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the “knowledge” of a Holder means the actual knowledge of
such Holder, if such Holder is an individual, or any officer of such Holder after due inquiry, if such Holder is an entity.
6.12 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic signature), all of which shall be considered one and
the same agreement, and shall become effective when the remaining counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to
the other parties.
6.13 No
Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not
intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture, any like relationship between the parties hereto or a
presumption that the parties hereto are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
10
6.14 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto), the Merger Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the documents
and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein constitutes the entire agreement
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
6.15 Governing
Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, and any claim arising out of, relating
to or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of Laws
principles that would otherwise result in the application of any Law other than the Laws of the State of Delaware.
(b) All
Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over any Action, any state or federal court
of competent jurisdiction within the State of Delaware). The parties hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of such courts in any such Action, (ii) waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance
of any such Action, (iii) agree to not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or otherwise request for leave from
any such court and (iv) agree to not bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court
other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over
any Action, any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Delaware), except for Actions brought to enforce
the judgment of any such court. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 6.15 shall not constitute
general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph
and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties. Each party agrees that service of process upon such party
in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier at the address set
forth in Section 6.10 of this Agreement. The parties hereto each agree that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided, however,
that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from,
a final trial court judgment.
(c) EACH
PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND
DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
11
6.16 Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by
operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment
without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence and except as set forth in Article II, this Agreement
will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
6.17 Specific
Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions
of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even
if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto and Huntsman (as an intended
third-party beneficiary) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement
for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are
entitled at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid,
contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any
such breach.
6.18 Severability.
If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by, due to or as a result
of any Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any
party or such party waives its rights under this Section 6.18 with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term,
condition or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions
are fulfilled to the extent possible.
6.19 Liability.
The rights and obligations of each of the Holders under this Agreement shall be several and not joint. All references to actions to be
taken by the Holders, or representations and warranties to be made, under this Agreement refer to actions to be taken or representations
and warranties to be made by Holders acting severally and not jointly. Except for any liability for claims, losses, damages, liabilities
or other obligations arising out of a Holder’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, Olin agrees that no Holder (in its
capacity as a Holder of its Subject Shares) will be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from
or relating to the Merger Agreement, including any breach by Huntsman of the Merger Agreement.
