        <footnote id="F1">Included in this amount are the following amounts previously reported on Form 4 as separate line items: 7010 shares directly held shares, 6,500 shares previously reported as attributable to Restricted Stock Account (based on the Crompton Corporation 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan), 14,800 shares previously reported as attributable to Restricted Stock Account 2007-2009 LTIP, 13,300 shares previously reported as attributable to Restricted Stock Account II (based on the 2006-2008 LTIP), and 24,000 shares previously reported as attributable to Restricted Stock Account 2008-2010 LTIP.  Certain amounts attributable to the foregoing Restricted Stock Accounts are subject to vesting requirements and thus may not be distributed. Certain amounts attributable to Restricted Stock Account 2006-2008 LTIP have been included, even though they may have been reportable on Table II of prior Form 4 reports. In order to provide consistency in reporting, the Reporting Person is voluntarily reporting the en
tire amount of the grant on Table I even though the Reporting Person may be required to report on Table I only those amounts which have vested pursuant to the terms of the grant.</footnote>
