PART II Item 20. Indemnification of Officers and Directors Huntsman ICI Chemicals LLC is empowered by Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, subject to the procedures and limitations therein, to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement. Huntsman ICI Chemicals LLC's amended and restated limited liability company agreement contains no indemnification provisions. Huntsman ICI Financial LLC is empowered by Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, subject to the procedures and limitations therein, to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement. Huntsman ICI Financial LLC's limited liability company agreement contains no indemnification provisions. Tioxide Group is an unlimited company having share capital registered in England and Wales. Section 310 of the U.K. Companies Act of 1985 (as amended) nullifies any provision contained in a company's articles of association or in any other contract with the company for exempting any director, officer or auditor of the company, or indemnifying such person against, any liability that would attach to him by rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust for which such person may be guilty with respect to such company. However, Section 310 permits a company to purchase or maintain insurance for its directors, officers and auditors against liabilities of this nature and permits a company to indemnify any director, officer or auditor against any liability incurred by such person that results from defending any proceedings (civil or criminal) in which a judgment is given in such person's favor or such person is acquitted or application is made under Section 144(3) or (4) of the Companies Act (acquisition of shares by innocent nominee) or Section 727 of the Companies Act (general power to grant relief in the case of honest and reasonable conduct) where relief is granted to such director, officer or auditor by the court. Article 22(a) of the Articles of Association of Tioxide Group indemnifies every director, officer and auditor of Tioxide Group out of the assets of Tioxide Group against all losses and liabilities that such person may sustain in the performance of the duties of his office to the extent permitted by Section 310 of the Companies Act. Furthermore, Article 22(b) empowers the directors of Tioxide Group to purchase insurance for any director, officer or auditor of Tioxide Group as permitted by the Companies Act. Tioxide Americas Inc. is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands law does not specifically limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for the indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent that such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy (e.g., for purporting to provide indemnification against the consequences of committing a crime). In addition, an officer or director may not be able to enforce indemnification for his own dishonesty or wilful neglect or default. Article 123 of the Articles of Association of Tioxide Americas Inc., which is filed as an exhibit to this registration statement, contain provisions providing for the indemnification by Tioxide Americas of an officer, director or trustee of Tioxide Americas for all actions, proceedings, claims, costs, charges, II-1 losses, damages and expenses which they incur or sustain by reason of any act done or omitted in or about the execution of their duty in their respective offices or trusts, except such (if any) as they shall incur or sustain by or through their own respective wilful neglect or default.

II-3 Item 22. Undertakings The Undersigned registrants hereby undertake: (1) To file during any period in which offers to sale are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of the receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of post- effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
