Each Note will bear a legend substantially to the following effect unless the Company determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.”

(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture;

(2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; provided, however, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code; and

(3) whether such Additional Notes will be issued as Global Notes or as Certificated Notes and whether and to what extent the Additional Notes will contain additional legends.

SECTION 4. Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes. Section 2.15 of Article Two of the Original Indenture is hereby supplemented, solely with respect to that series of Debt Securities which consists of the Notes, to add the following provisions:

(a) Transfers of Interests in Global Notes for Certificated Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Global Notes shall be exchanged by the Company for Certificated Notes if (i) the Depositary (a) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed; (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or (iii) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes entitling the Holder to accelerate the maturity of the Notes. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Certificated Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.08 and 2.09 of the Original Indenture. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (a) or Section 2.08 or 2.09 of the Original Indenture, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this paragraph (a).

(b) Legends. Each Global Note issued under this Supplemental Indenture shall bear a legend in substantially the form as specified in Section 2.15 of the Original Indenture and any other appropriate legends specified in an Officers’ Certificate.

(c) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Certificated Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Original Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to

a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Certificated Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

SECTION 5. Additional Covenant of the Company. The Original Indenture is hereby supplemented, solely with respect to that series of Debt Securities which consists of the Notes, to add the following additional covenant with respect to the Notes:

SECTION 5.01. Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in multiples of $1,000 principal amount) of that holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Company will execute and direct the Trustee to promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

Olin Corporation, a Virginia corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer” or the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above; provided, however, that if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 28, 2006 among the Company, Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC) occurs, additional interest will accrue on this Note at a rate of 0.25% per annum (increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum after 90 days up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50%) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. The Company will pay interest semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2006. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from July 28, 2006. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 1 and December 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a paying agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a Certificated Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the paying agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (the “Debt Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 26, 2006 (the “Original Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 28, 2006 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) (the Original Indenture, as amended by the Supplemental Indenture is herein called the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Debt Securities. This Note is subject to all the provisions of the Indenture, some of which are described herein. This Note is one of a series of Debt Securities designated as the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2016 of the Company (the “Notes”), initially in an aggregate principal amount of $124,983,000 on the Issue Date. Terms used herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.

Except as set forth below, the Company shall not be entitled to redeem the Notes.

The Notes will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, on at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior notice (a “Redemption Date”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note and (ii) the present value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes being redeemed on the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”).

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Note to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Note. “Independent Investment Banker” means Banc of America Securities LLC and/or Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Banc of America Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and, at the Company’s option, other primary U.S. Government Securities dealers in New York City selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to this Note, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to this Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expresses as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and those Notes will cease to be outstanding.

In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of each such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debt Securities, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon or the amount of any Sinking Fund Payment, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon redemption thereof, without the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt Securities the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Debt Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Debt Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Debt Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all the Debt Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series (or all of the Debt Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Debt Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. At the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a new Note

or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Debt Security registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Debt Security registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to or upon the order of such registered Holder shall, to the extent of the sum of sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall be deemed to be a New York contract and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State.

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
