Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 27, 2011, following the closing of the merger pursuant to which The Lubrizol Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., the Company gave notice of its termination of the Five-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2010 (“Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Initial Lenders named therein, Citicorp Global Markets Inc. and KeyBank National Association, as co-lead arrangers and co-bookrunners, KeyBank National Association and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-documentation agents, and Citibank, N.A., as agent.

The Credit Agreement provided the Company and its subsidiaries with an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $500 million. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility at the time of termination, and the Credit Agreement terminated without penalty.

Certain of the lenders to the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have performed and, from time to time in the future, may engage in transactions with and perform commercial and investment banking and advisory services for the Company and its subsidiaries, for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
