        The Trust Agreement provides that the two trustees of HMP Trust designated by Huntsman Family Holdings (the "HFH Designees") shall have the power to exercise all of the voting rights related to the Shares held directly or indirectly by HMP Trust in accordance with their sole discretion except that, unless the Administrative Trustees (at least one of whom must be a HFH Designee and one of whom must be one of the two trustees of HMP Trust designated by the Matlin Partnerships (the "MP Designees")) shall approve otherwise, all of such Shares shall be voted as follows:

          (i)  so as to cause:

            (A)  the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company to provide for its Board of Directors (the "Corporate Board") to be divided into three classes of approximately equal size, with staggered, three-year terms: the first class consisting of directors ("Class I") whose terms will expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company following the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company adopted in connection with the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), the second class consisting of directors ("Class II") whose terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following such effectiveness and the third class consisting of directors ("Class III") whose terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following such effectiveness;

            (B)  the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company to provide that upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors in that class will be elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company in the year in which their term expires;

            (C)  the Corporate Board to consist, immediately after the consummation of the IPO, of five members, with Class I consisting of two directors, Class II consisting of two directors and Class III consisting of one director; and

            (D)  the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company to provide that any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors, and any reduction in the number of directors resulting from a decrease in the size of the Corporate Board (other than temporary vacancies) will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the members of the Corporate Board;

         (ii)  in any such stockholders meeting at which, or with respect to any such consent pursuant to which, directors are to be elected or appointed:

            (A)  until the second anniversary of the consummation of the IPO, so as to have the Board of Directors consist of, and only of, the following persons, subject to their consent to so serve: Alvin

            (B)  so as to nominate and elect two persons designated by the MP Designees (the "Adviser Directors"), one of which shall be a director in Class I and one of which shall be a director in Class II, and, in the event any of such persons does not serve, or ceases to serve, as a director of the Company, such other persons designated by the MP Designees in place of such person;

        (iii)  With respect to the removal of directors of the Company, the Administrative Trustees shall vote or consent with respect to (or cause to be voted or consented with respect to) the Shares held directly or indirectly by HMP Trust as directed by the MP Designees with respect to any proposed removal of any Adviser Director, and as directed by the HFH Designees with respect to any proposed removal of any other director. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, however, until the second anniversary of the consummation of the IPO, the Administrative Trustees shall not vote or consent with respect to (or cause to be voted or consented with respect to) the Shares held directly or indirectly by HMP Trust to remove any of the Initial Directors unless such removal shall have received the approval of at least one of the Adviser Directors or is approved by an affirmative vote by at least two of the Administrative Trustees (at least one of whom must be an HFH Designee and one of whom must be an MP Designee);

        (iv)  Unless such action shall have received the approval of at least one of the Adviser Directors, in no event shall the Administrative Trustees vote or consent with respect to (or cause to be voted or consented with respect to) the Shares held directly or indirectly by HMP Trust to any of the following ("Special Actions"); provided that nothing in this provision shall be construed to require any vote of the stockholders of the Company or prohibit any director of the Company from voting as a director of the Company on any such matter in any manner he or she deems appropriate:

              (5)   issuing any new equity securities of the Company (or securities convertible into equity securities of the Company) other than with respect to director and employee compensation, or

19


              (6)   adopting a shareholder rights plan or any agreement or plan of the type commonly called a "poison pill" or any similar plan or agreement; and

         (v)  With respect to all matters other than those described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the HFH Designees may vote (or cause to be voted or consented) the Shares held directly or indirectly by HMP Trust as they shall direct in their sole discretion.

        "Huntsman Directors" means J. Huntsman and P. Huntsman, and in the event that any of such persons does not serve, or ceases to serve, as a director of the Company, such other persons designated by the HFH Designees in place of such person.

The Trust Distribution did not include 1,783,701 Shares remaining in the Trust and representing the remainder of the Escrowed Corporation Interest (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement). In the Trust Distribution, a total of 19,870,000 Shares were distributed to the Matlin Partnerships, and a total of 24,903,006 Shares were distributed to Huntsman Family Holdings. In connection with the Trust Distribution and in accordance with Section 5.3(a) of the Trust Agreement, Huntsman Family Holdings, the Matlin Partnerships and the Company each entered into the Distribution Voting Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Trust Agreement, and each of the Matlin Partnerships executed in favor of J. Huntsman and P. Huntsman, the designees of Huntsman Family Holdings, the MP Proxies in the form attached as Schedule A to the Distribution Voting Agreement. The Trust Agreement, including the form of Distribution Voting Agreement and the form of MP Proxies, is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Statement.

        The Distribution Voting Agreement gives Huntsman Family Holdings the right to vote all Shares beneficially owned by any of the Matlin Partnerships or their affiliates (the "MP Shares") in accordance with Huntsman Family Holdings' discretion, except all MP Shares and all Shares beneficially owned by Huntsman Family Holdings (the "HF Shares") must be voted in substantially the same manner as specified in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the second paragraph of this Item 4. Under the Distribution Voting Agreement, the Matlin Partnerships appoint Huntsman Family Holdings and its designees as proxies to vote all MP Shares in a manner consistent with such voting provisions. Under the MP Proxies, each of J. Huntsman and P. Huntsman is specifically appointed as proxies to cast all votes entitled to be cast by any of the Matlin Partnerships with respect to the Shares owned or held by them in accordance with the Distribution Voting Agreement. The Distribution Voting Agreement further provides that, upon the failure of Huntsman Family Holdings to vote the MP Shares in accordance with the Distribution Voting Agreement, the Matlin Partnerships are granted an irrevocable proxy to vote the MP Shares and the HF Shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Voting Agreement. Under the terms of the Distribution Voting Agreement, if at any time the number of MP Shares represent less than 5% of the then total outstanding Shares, then all of the rights of the Matlin Partnerships to designate directors of the Company or that limit the ability of Huntsman Family Holdings to approve, or the manner in which Huntsman Family Holdings approves, any transaction or to vote the MP Shares or the HF Shares will terminate.

        The Distribution Voting Agreement also provides that, until the termination of the Distribution Voting Agreement, neither t he Matlin Partnerships nor Huntsman Family Holdings may, without the prior written consent of the other, transfer any of the MP Shares or the HF Shares, respectively. However, such transfer restrictions do not apply in certain specified circumstances, including with respect to a bona fide transfer for value to a third party who is not an affiliate or pursuant to gift or donation to a charitable or educational organization, in which case such third party will receive the transferred Shares free and clear of any obligations under the Distribution Voting Agreement or the proxies granted therein.

Despite a registration demand, the Company may delay filing of the registration statement for up to 90 days if the Company's board of directors determines in good faith that the requested registration and offering would require disclosure of pending or contemplated matters or information, the disclosure of which would likely be detrimental to the Company or materially interfere with its or its subsidiaries' business or a pending or contemplated material transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which period may be extended for up to an additional 90 days upon a subsequent determination by the board of directors in good faith that the conditions for deferral still exist. The agreement also provides that the Company will pay the costs and expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to the registration and sale of Shares that are registered pursuant to the registration rights agreement. The agreement contains customary registration procedures and indemnification and contribution provisions requiring indemnification or contribution by the Company for the benefit of the stockholders whose shares are registered and sold pursuant to the agreement. Each of the stockholders whose shares are registered and sold pursuant to the agreement has agreed to indemnify the Company solely with respect to information provided by such person for use in the prospectus related to the offering of Shares by such person, with such indemnification being limited to the proceeds of the offering received by such person. On July 31, 2007, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with respect to the resale of Shares from time to time by the Matlin Partnerships.

        In addition, in connection with the charitable donation by J. Huntsman of 23,762,000 shares of Common Stock to the Huntsman Foundation and Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund on June 25, 2007, the Company entered into two agreements with J. Huntsman and each of the donees requiring the Company to prepare and file with the Commission, within a designated time frame, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to cover the potential resale of the donated Shares. On June 26, 2007, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with respect to the resale of the donated Shares by the donees.
