Ownership Impact on Company's agreements
 
The Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Facility provide, among other things, that it shall be an event of default if there is a "change of control."  A "change of control" of the Company is deemed to have occurred if: (i) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act of 1934, except that such person or group shall be deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of all securities that such person or group has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of voting stock representing 35% or more (or 40% or more in the case of any such "person" or "group" that was, on the effective date of Solutia’s emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, the beneficial owner of 25% or more of such voting stock), (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the board of directors of the Company (together with any new directors whose election to the Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of the majority of the directors of the Company then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company then in office; or (iii) at any time a "change of control" (or any other defined term having a similar purpose) occurs under any Material Indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement).  Our indebtedness under the facilities could be accelerated upon an event of default.
 
 
The Company is party to a Toll Manufacturing Agreement with Phosphorus Derivatives Inc. ("PDI"). Under the Toll Manufacturing Agreement, PDI pays the Company a fee to manufacture, package and supply phosphorous pentasulfide exclusively for PDI at the Company's facility in Sauget, Illinois using raw materials and packaging provided by PDI.  The agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party.  A change in control, as such term is defined in the agreement, is deemed to be an assignment for purposes of the foregoing consent requirement.  A change in control is deemed to occur under the agreement if more than 35% of the equity securities or voting control of the equity securities or voting interest of a party is acquired by a single party or several parties acting in concert.
