To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration is a Prospectus dated                     , 2012 (the “Prospectus”) and a Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the “Exchange Offer”) relating to the offer by Hexion U.S. Finance Corp. (the “Issuer”) to exchange its 6.625% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes Due 2020 (the “Initial Notes”) for an equal aggregate principal amount of new 6.625% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes Due 2020 (the “Exchange Notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As set forth in the Prospectus, the terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore will not bear legends restricting their transfer and will not contain certain provisions providing for the payment of additional interest to the holders of the Initial Notes under certain circumstances relating to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 14, 2012, among the Issuer and the initial purchasers of the Initial Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

The enclosed material is being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner of Initial Notes carried by us for your account or benefit but not registered in your name. An exchange of any Initial Notes may only be made by us as the registered Holder and pursuant to your instructions. Therefore, we urge beneficial owners of Initial Notes registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to contact such Holder promptly if they wish to exchange Initial Notes in the Exchange Offer.

Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish us to exchange any or all such Initial Notes held by us for your account or benefit, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal. We urge you to read carefully the Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal before instructing us to exchange your Initial Notes.

Your instructions to us should be forwarded as promptly as possible in order to permit us to exchange Initial Notes on your behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012, unless extended. The term “Expiration Date” shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012, unless the Exchange Offer is extended as provided in the Prospectus, in which case the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest date and time to which the Exchange Offer is extended. A tender of Initial Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Your attention is directed to the following:

 

  1. The Issuer will issue a like principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for the principal amount of Initial Notes surrendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, of which $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes was outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus. The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all respects to the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore will not bear legends restricting their transfer and will not contain certain provisions providing for the payment of additional interest to the holders of the Initial Notes under certain circumstances relating to the Registration Rights Agreement.

 


  2. THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CUSTOMARY CONDITIONS. SEE “THE EXCHANGE OFFER—CONDITIONS TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER” IN THE PROSPECTUS.

 

  3. The Exchange Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m, New York City time, on                     , 2012, unless extended.

The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of Initial Notes residing in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.

If you wish us to tender any or all of your Initial Notes held by us for your account or benefit, please so instruct us by completing, executing and returning to us the attached instruction form. The accompanying Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for informational purposes only and may not be used by you to exchange Initial Notes held by us and registered in our name for your account or benefit.
