ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) the Agent may (and at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall) exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i) those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this Section 5.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights available to the Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

(ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ Lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Blocked Account Agreement, Collateral Access Agreement or any other control or similar agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable Collateral;

(iv) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 7.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help, and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and

(v) concurrently with written notice to the Grantors, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Agent was the outright owner thereof.

(b) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the compliance by the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c) The Agent shall have the right upon any public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption each Grantor hereby expressly releases.

(d) Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or the value of the Collateral, or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and Secured Parties) with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Grantors, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities

for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if any Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so (it being acknowledged and agreed that no Grantor shall have any obligation hereunder to do so).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and remedies provided in this Section 5.1 shall be subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 5.2 Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the written request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

(a) assemble and make available to the Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Agent, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere; and

(b) permit the Agent, by the Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy.

Section 5.3 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at such time as the Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties, an irrevocable nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks; and provided further that the Agent shall have no greater rights than those of any such Grantor under such license or sublicense; and (b) irrevocably agrees that, at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may sell any Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased any Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may (subject to any restrictions contained in applicable third party licenses entered into by a Grantor) sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Agent may finish any work in process and affix any relevant Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein. The use of the license granted pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence by the Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default

and shall be subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, that any permitted license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 7.1 Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article VIII, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default), except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default), made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 7.2 Limitation on Agent’s and Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Agent, nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or such Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it would be commercially reasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly

or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as a Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements at the Grantors’ cost to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3 Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

Section 7.4 Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under this Security Agreement and such Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 7.4. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

Section 7.5 No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or

further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or consent to any departure by any Secured Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Section 7.6 Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

Section 7.7 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 7.8 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties, hereunder.

Section 7.9 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of each Grantor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

Section 7.10 Taxes and Expenses. To the extent required by Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to (i) pay any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement, together with interest and penalties, if any, and (ii) reimburse the Agent for any and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by any Grantor in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by such Grantor.

Section 7.11 Additional Subsidiaries. Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall cause (i) each Domestic Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) formed or acquired after the date of this Security Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and (ii) any Domestic Subsidiary that was an Excluded Subsidiary but has ceased to be an Excluded Subsidiary, to enter into this Security Agreement as a Subsidiary Party as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable (but in no event to exceed ninety (90) days after such formation or acquisition or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Agent in writing). Upon execution and delivery by the Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit J hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Party herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Security Agreement.

Section 7.12 Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

Section 7.13 Termination or Release.

(a) This Security Agreement shall continue in effect until the Termination Date.

(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interests created hereunder in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary.

(c) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under Section 4.1(d) to any Person that is not another Grantor or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(d) The security interests granted hereunder on any Collateral, to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party, shall be automatically released upon termination or expiration of such lease, pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) The security interests created hereunder in the Collateral shall be automatically released as required pursuant to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Lien on Collateral as provided in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(f) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above, the Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Agent or any Secured Party. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.18, the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out of pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.13.

Section 7.14 Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each Grantor and the Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between any Grantor and the Agent relating to the Collateral.

Section 7.15 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 7.16 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Grantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each Grantor hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement in any court referred to in clause (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.1 herein. Nothing in this Security Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of the Agent or any Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 7.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH GRANTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 7.19 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

Form of Collateral Access Agreement:

Landlord Agreement and Waiver

LANDLORD AGREEMENT AND WAIVER

, 2011

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, , a (the “Landlord”) executes this agreement and waiver in favor of (1) BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as collateral agent (in such capacity and together with any successor acting in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of certain other lenders and credit parties (collectively the “Credit Parties”) which are making loans or furnishing other financial accommodations to the Tenant (as defined below) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and (2) NEXEO SOLUTIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Tenant”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Landlord has an interest in the real property located at (collectively, the “Leased Premises”), which real property the Landlord leases, or will lease, to the Tenant, as assignee of and successor-in-interest to Ashland, Inc., a Kentucky corporation, pursuant to a certain lease dated , between and the Tenant (as amended, the “Lease”).

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have entered, or are about to enter, into certain loan arrangements with the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties, pursuant to which the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties have agreed to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the Borrowers.

WHEREAS, loans and financial accommodations under the loan arrangement will be secured by, among other things, certain of the Tenant’s present and after acquired assets (the “Collateral”), including, without limitation, the Tenant’s inventory, equipment and other personal property located, and to be located, upon the Leased Premises.

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the Borrowers, the Landlord hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

1.	The Lease is in full force and effect and no notice of default has been given under or in connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any default under or in connection with the Lease.

The Landlord hereby waives and releases in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties: (a) any and all rights of distraint, levy, and execution which the Landlord may now or hereafter have against the Collateral; (b) any and all statutory liens, security interests, or other liens which the Landlord may now or hereafter have in the Collateral; and (c) any and all other interests or claims of every nature whatsoever which the Landlord may now or hereafter have in or against the Collateral for any rent, storage charges, or other sums due, or to become due, to the Landlord by the Tenant. The Landlord agrees not to exercise any of the Landlord’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or discretions with respect to the Collateral, or the Landlord’s liens or security interests in the Collateral, unless and until the Landlord receives written notice from an officer of the Collateral Agent that the Borrowers’ obligations to the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties have been paid in full, and that the commitment of the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the Borrowers has been terminated. The foregoing waiver is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties only and does not affect the obligations of the Tenant to the Landlord. The Landlord agrees that if any of the Collateral may be or may become affixed to the Leased Premises, such Collateral shall remain personal property notwithstanding the manner in which the same is affixed to the Leased Premises.

In the event of the exercise by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Credit Parties of its rights with respect to the Collateral upon default of any of the Borrowers on any of their obligations to the Collateral Agent and/or the Credit Parties (including but not limited to a default under the Lease), the Collateral Agent shall have a reasonable time, and in any event not less than 150 days, after the Collateral Agent declares the default in which to repossess and/or dispose of the Collateral from the Leased Premises; provided, however, that such period will be tolled during any period in which the Collateral Agent has been stayed from taking action to remove the

Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and the Collateral Agent shall have an additional period of time thereafter in which to repossess and/or dispose of the Collateral from the Leased Premises. In those circumstances, the Landlord will, upon reasonable prior written notice from the Collateral Agent, (a) cooperate with the Collateral Agent in gaining access to the Leased Premises for the purpose of repossessing said Collateral and (b) if requested by the Collateral Agent, permit the Collateral Agent, or its agents or nominees, to dispose of the Collateral on the Leased Premises in a manner reasonably designed to minimize any interference with any of the Landlord’s other tenants at the Leased Premises. In entering upon or into the Leased Premises, Collateral Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord caused solely by Collateral Agent’s entering upon or into the Leased Premises and repossessing and/or disposing of the Collateral from the Leased Premises. The Collateral Agent shall promptly repair, at the Collateral Agent’s expense, any physical damage to the Leased Premises actually caused by removal of the Collateral, but shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Leased Premises caused by the removal or absence of the Collateral.

To the extent not paid or prepaid by the Tenant, the Collateral Agent shall pay the Landlord a sum for its use and occupancy of the Leased Premises on a per diem basis in an amount equal to the monthly base rent required to be paid by the Tenant under the Lease from the date on which the Collateral Agent shall have taken possession of the Collateral on the Leased Premises until the date on which the Collateral Agent vacates the Leased Premises, it being understood, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not, thereby, have assumed any of the obligations of the Tenant to the Landlord, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay any past due rent owing by the Tenant.

In the event that Landlord has the right to, and desires to, obtain possession of the Leased Premises (either through expiration of the Lease or termination thereof due to the default of the Tenant thereunder), Landlord will deliver notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) to Collateral Agent and the Tenant to that effect at the addresses set forth below. Collateral Agent shall be given a reasonable opportunity of not less than 60 days from receipt of Landlord’s Notice to preserve, protect, liquidate, or remove any Collateral on the Leased Premises and, if the Collateral Agent so elects, to cure such breach of the Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to cure any such breach or default. The cure of any such breach or default by the Collateral Agent on any one occasion shall not obligate the Collateral Agent to cure any other breach or default or to cure such default on any other occasion.

6.	All notices, requests or demand under this agreement and waiver shall be made to the following addresses by recognized overnight courier, by hand delivery or by facsimile transmission:


		If to the Collateral Agent:
		Bank of America, N.A.
		000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx

Any party may change its address for purposes of this paragraph by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above.

The Landlord certifies that to its knowledge, as of the date hereof there are no mortgages, deeds of trust or other encumbrances granted by Landlord on the Leased Premises that create a lien on, or security interest in, the Collateral. The Landlord shall notify any purchaser of the Leased Premises and any subsequent mortgagee or any other holder of any lien, security interest or encumbrance on the Leased Premises of the existence of this agreement and waiver.

9.	The Landlord further certifies that the Landlord has full power and authority to execute this agreement and waiver and that it has legal title to the Leased Premises.

10.

This agreement and waiver shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, each of the Credit Parties and the Tenant, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Landlord, its heirs, assigns, representatives, and successors. The Collateral Agent may, without affecting the validity of this agreement and waiver, extend the maturity of, or otherwise modify, any indebtedness secured by the Collateral, or the performance of any of the terms and conditions of any loan agreement or other documents evidencing the pledge to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Credit Parties of the Collateral, without the consent of the Landlord and without giving notice thereof to Landlord.

11.

The terms of this agreement and waiver are severable. If any of the terms and conditions hereof shall, for any reason, be deemed void, voidable, or unenforceable, the remaining terms and conditions hereof shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, voidable or unenforceable provisions were not included. In the event any of the provisions, terms and conditions hereof are ambiguous or inconsistent, or conflict with any of the terms and provisions of the Lease, any amendments thereto, or any documents executed in connection therewith, the provisions, terms and conditions of this agreement and waiver shall control.

12.

This agreement and waiver may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Collateral Agent, the Landlord, and the Tenant. This agreement and waiver shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Delivery of an executed signature page of this agreement and waiver by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be binding on the Landlord as if the original of such transmission had been delivered to the Collateral Agent.

Re:

Nexeo Solutions, LLC (“Company”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is to confirm that Company, from time to time, delivers inventory to you for processing, warehousing or storage (such inventory heretofore or hereafter delivered to you being referred to as “Bailed Goods”) and that title to the Bailed Goods remains with the Company at all times.

This letter is also to advise you that, pursuant to a certain Pledge and Security Agreement (“Security Agreement”) entered into among Company and certain affiliates of the Company, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A. (the “Collateral Agent”), as agent for certain other lenders, and certain other parties, the Company has granted or will grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in, among other things, all of the Company’s now owned and hereafter acquired inventory including, without limitation, the Bailed Goods, to secure obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement entered into among the Borrowers, certain affiliates of the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent and certain other parties, the Security Agreement, and the documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith, each as may be amended, restated, modified or substituted from time to time (collectively, the “Financing Agreements”).

This letter serves as notice to you pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Bailed Goods. In order to protect the Company’s ownership interest and the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Bailed Goods, the Company asks that you execute this letter (a) to acknowledge and confirm that (i) you are holding and will hold the Bailed Goods on bailment for processing, warehousing or storage for the benefit of the Collateral Agent; (ii) such Bailed Goods are the Company’s property and subject to the Collateral Agent’s security interest; (iii) such security interest in the Bailed Goods is and shall be senior to all liens, claims and interests that you may have from time to time; and (iv) you will notify all of your successors and assigns of the existence of the agreements contained herein, and (b) to evidence your agreement that if, at any time hereafter, the Collateral Agent shall notify you in writing that an “Event of Default” has occurred and is continuing under the Financing Agreements, you will comply with the Collateral Agent’s written instructions as to the disposition of the Bailed Goods; provided, however, that in the event that any amounts shall be owing to you by Company in respect of any Bailed Goods located on your premises, you will not be required to yield possession of any such Bailed Goods to the Collateral Agent until such time as all reasonable and customary amounts owing to you have been satisfied in full. Until the Financing Agreements have been terminated and the Collateral Agent has been paid in full, you shall not deduct from or offset against any amounts due and owing by the Company to you at any time hereafter by applying any of the Bailed Goods in payment for processing or storage services provided by you to the Company.

The Company agrees that you shall have no liability to the Company if you comply with the Collateral Agent’s written directions and the Company agrees to reimburse you for all reasonable costs and expenses (including processing, warehousing and storage fees) incurred by you as a direct result of such compliance.

Re:

The locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively and individually, the “Premises”)

Nexeo Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Client”) has executed and delivered to BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as collateral agent (in such capacity and together with any successor acting in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit and for the benefit of certain other lenders and secured parties, that certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of March 31, 2011 (as the same may be amended, restated, renewed, extended, modified, or refinanced at any time and from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Client has pledged and granted to the Collateral Agent a continuing general lien upon, and security interest in, among other things, the Client’s present and future merchandise, inventory and other products (herein “Inventory”), including all Inventory now or hereafter held by you and which may be shipped through or stored with you from time to time in the future pursuant to the Warehousing and Services Agreement dated as of [ ] between you and Client (the “Warehouse Agreement”).

1. You hereby confirm that you are holding and will hold all such Inventory solely for the Collateral Agent’s account subject to the terms of this agreement and that you have not agreed to act pursuant to the instructions of any other person (other than Client) with respect to the Inventory and, to the best of your knowledge, you have not received any other notification of any continuing security interest in the Inventory.

2. Until you have received written notification from the Collateral Agent of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under the Security Agreement (a “Notice of Default”), you may continue to issue all receipts and/or bills of lading covering the Inventory in your possession from time to time in the Client’s name, and to release such Inventory pursuant to your agreements with, and upon the instructions of, the Client. If you receive a Notice of Default from the Collateral Agent, you agree to (x) hold all Inventory subject only to the Collateral Agent’s written instructions and (y) give access to such Inventory and release the same to the Collateral Agent or its designee on demand, or ship same as directed by the Collateral Agent on demand at the expense of the Collateral Agent, in each case upon the written instructions of the Collateral Agent. You agree that you will not hinder or delay the Collateral Agent in enforcing its rights in and to such Inventory.

3. To assist us in keeping accurate records relating to the Client’s Inventory shipped through or stored with you, you hereby agree to provide us, upon reasonable written request, with invoices, daily shipment reports, monthly shipment reports and/or inventory information. Further, you agree to advise us in the event that (a) the Client becomes 60 days or more in arrears in the payment of charges or invoices or (b) you sell, transfer or assign any of your interest in the Premises by providing written notice to us at the following address: Bank of America, N.A., 000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Fax: 000-000-0000.

4. You hereby acknowledge that you are not currently holding the Client’s Inventory for or on behalf of any other person other than the Client.

5. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of your charges of any nature whatsoever shall continue to be charged to and paid by the Client and the Collateral Agent shall not be directly or indirectly liable or responsible for any of said charges whether due or to become due. However, the Collateral Agent agrees to be liable to you for payment of (a) contractual charges that accrue under the Warehouse Agreement from and after the date that Collateral Agent gives you a Notice of Default directing you to hold Inventory exclusively for the Collateral Agent for further disposition by the Collateral Agent and/or (b) charges for shipment of Inventory to any person pursuant to Collateral Agent’s written

instructions, provided, however, that in the event that any amounts shall be owing to you by the Client in respect of any Inventory located on the Premises, you will not be required to yield possession of any such Inventory to the Collateral Agent until such time as all reasonable and customary amounts owing to you, not to exceed an amount equal to two (2) months’ fees, have been satisfied in full.

6. You hereby subordinate any lien or other secured interest, whether express, implied, contractual, quasi-statutory or otherwise, and all claims and demands of every kind which you may now or hereafter have in, on or against the Inventory to the liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent, such subordination to be effective as of the later of (a) the effective date of the Warehouse Agreement or (b) the date of the Security Agreement, regardless of the time or order of attachment or perfection of such liens and security interests, it being intended that the liens and security interests in Inventory in favor of the Collateral Agent shall at all times during the term of this agreement be prior and superior to any such liens and security interests in your favor. This subordination shall continue until this agreement is terminated pursuant to paragraph 7.

7. The arrangement and instructions outlined herein shall continue without any change or modification until you receive a Notice of Default from the Collateral Agent and will otherwise automatically terminate when the Client’s obligations to the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations) are paid in full and any commitment to lend thereunder has terminated.

8. The foregoing shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns.

9. The Client agrees that you shall have no liability to the Client if you comply with any of the Collateral Agent’s written directions as described in this agreement. The Client further agrees that it will continue to pay, as and when required under and pursuant to the Warehouse Agreement, all warehousing, handling and other fees and expenses related to the storage and other handling of the Inventory and will reimburse you for all reasonable costs or expenses incurred as a direct result of your compliance with the terms and provisions of this agreement. The Client has signed below to indicate its confirmation of and agreement with the foregoing.
