<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the &#147;DGCL&#148;) authorizes a corporation, under certain circumstances, to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was
an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of that corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such
indemnification is available if he had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.</font></p>

corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.</font></p>

indemnification of each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to
be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a &#147;proceeding&#148;),
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
registrant, or, while a director or officer of the registrant, serves at the
request of the registrant, as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent
of any corporation, partnership or other entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged
action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, trustee or
agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee,
trustee or agent, and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the registrant
to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, against all expense, liability
and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith
and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or
her heirs, executors and administrators.</font></p>

and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an officer or
director of such corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by
him in any such capacity, whether or not such corporation would have the power
to indemnify such officer or director against such liability under the
provisions of Section&nbsp;145.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Bylaws also provide that the registrant may maintain insurance, at
the registrant&#146;s expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving
as a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant or is or was
serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,

incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a)&nbsp;for
any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;under
Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (relating to liability for unauthorized
acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) or (d)&nbsp;for
any transaction from which the director derived improper personal benefit. The
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant contains such
a provision.</font></p>

the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered 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 a prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume

the initial bona fide offering thereof.</font></p>

liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the

arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; If 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 its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL") authorizes a corporation, under certain circumstances, to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was
an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of that corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such
indemnification is available if he had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide for
indemnification of each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to
be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"),
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
registrant, or, while a director or officer of the registrant, serves at the
request of the registrant, as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent
of any corporation, partnership or other entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged
action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, trustee or
agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee,
trustee or agent, and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the registrant
to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, against all expense, liability
and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith
and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or
her heirs, executors and administrators.
Section 145 of the DGCL also empowers a corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an officer or
director of such corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by
him in any such capacity, whether or not such corporation would have the power
to indemnify such officer or director against such liability under the
provisions of Section 145.
The Bylaws also provide that the registrant may maintain insurance, at
the registrant's expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving
as a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant or is or was
serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of
incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under
Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to liability for unauthorized
acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) or (d) for
any transaction from which the director derived improper personal benefit. The
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant contains such
a provision.

Huntsman Corporation has entered into customary
indemnification agreements with its directors and some of its officers.

Item 9.
Undertakings
.
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(a)   To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered 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 a prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(c)   To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
registration statement or any material change to such information in this
registration statement;
provided,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC
by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each such 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 registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)   That, for the purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(5)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.  If 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 its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
