Second Supplemental Indenture and First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022

On May 12, 2017, Hexion Inc. (the “Issuer” or “Hexion”) entered into a second supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to an indenture, dated as of February 8, 2017, between Hexion 2 U.S. Finance Corp. and the Trustee (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2017, among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Issuer issued $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), which mature on February 1, 2022. The Notes were offered as additional notes under the Indenture with substantially the same terms as all other outstanding notes under the Indenture (the “Existing Notes”). The Notes were offered in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The terms of the Indenture and the Notes are more fully described in the Current Report on Form 8-K that the Issuer filed on February 10, 2017.

Pursuant to the Additional Secured Party Consent, the Trustee, representing holders of the Notes, (x) has become a party to the First Lien Collateral Agreement and a party to the intercreditor agreement, dated as of April 15, 2015, among the First Lien Collateral Agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as authorized representative under the existing first lien agreement, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the initial other authorized representative, and each additional authorized representative from time to time party thereto, Hexion LLC, the Issuer, and each subsidiary of the Issuer from time to time party thereto (as supplemented to the date hereof, the “First Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), in each case on behalf of such holders, and (y) has appointed and authorized the First Lien Collateral Agent to act as collateral agent on behalf of the authorized representative and the holders of the Notes and to exercise various powers under the First Lien Collateral Agreement.
