<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant assumed certain indemnification obligations for any person who served as a
director or officer of its predecessor, LyondellBasell AF S.C.A., and its subsidiaries that were
debtors under the joint bankruptcy proceeding under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during
the period beginning January&nbsp;6, 2009 (the &#147;Bankruptcy Cases&#148;), subject to certain exceptions. All
of the Registrant&#146;s current executive officers and most of its officers will be indemnified
pursuant to this assumption under the Plan of Reorganization. Furthermore, pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization, to the extent that indemnification claims relate to acts or omissions prior to the
commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, any individual covered by the assumed indemnification
obligations must first demonstrate that he or she has taken all reasonable actions to obtain
payment under any applicable insurance policies, and that the insurers under the policies have
disclaimed coverage or have informed such individual that the available limits of liability under
the applicable policies have been exhausted. The Registrant will only be required to make a payment
under the assumed indemnification obligations after the insurance policy has been exhausted or is
not otherwise available. With respect to acts or omissions after the commencement of the Bankruptcy

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;26 of Chapter&nbsp;XI of the Registrant&#146;s Articles of Association contains mandatory
indemnification provisions for the Registrant&#146;s current and former directors and officers as
described generally below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative by reason of the fact that he (or a person or entity for whom he) is or was a member
of the Management Board or a member of the Supervisory Board of the Registrant or is or was serving
at the registrant&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company or a
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans. The Registrant&#146;s indemnification obligation applies to all liability and
loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) reasonably incurred, except that our
indemnification does not apply in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person is
adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to
us, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action suit or proceeding was
brought or any other court having appropriate jurisdiction determines otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in defending a proceeding may be paid by the
Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon a resolution of the
Management Board which will have been approved by the Supervisory Board with respect to the
specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the member of the Management Board,
member of the Supervisory Board, director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless
it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its current directors and will
enter into similar agreements with executive officers and certain officers and employees of
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. The Registrant believes that these indemnification agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers and as
officers and employees of LyondellBasell Industries N.V. The SEC has noted, however, that in the
opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
The class of securities to be offered under this Registration Statement is registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant assumed certain indemnification obligations for any person who served as a
director or officer of its predecessor, LyondellBasell AF S.C.A., and its subsidiaries that were
debtors under the joint bankruptcy proceeding under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during
the period beginning January 6, 2009 (the "Bankruptcy Cases"), subject to certain exceptions. All
of the Registrant's current executive officers and most of its officers will be indemnified
pursuant to this assumption under the Plan of Reorganization. Furthermore, pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization, to the extent that indemnification claims relate to acts or omissions prior to the
commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, any individual covered by the assumed indemnification
obligations must first demonstrate that he or she has taken all reasonable actions to obtain
payment under any applicable insurance policies, and that the insurers under the policies have
disclaimed coverage or have informed such individual that the available limits of liability under
the applicable policies have been exhausted. The Registrant will only be required to make a payment
under the assumed indemnification obligations after the insurance policy has been exhausted or is
not otherwise available. With respect to acts or omissions after the commencement of the Bankruptcy
Cases and prior to the
II-1
Table of Contents
Company's emergence from chapter 11 proceedings on April 30, 2010, an insurance policy took
effect on December 20, 2007 which covers such acts or omissions.
Article 26 of Chapter XI of the Registrant's Articles of Association contains mandatory
indemnification provisions for the Registrant's current and former directors and officers as
described generally below.
The Registrant is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative by reason of the fact that he (or a person or entity for whom he) is or was a member
of the Management Board or a member of the Supervisory Board of the Registrant or is or was serving
at the registrant's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company or a
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans. The Registrant's indemnification obligation applies to all liability and
loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred, except that our
indemnification does not apply in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person is
adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to
us, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action suit or proceeding was
brought or any other court having appropriate jurisdiction determines otherwise.
Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a proceeding may be paid by the
Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon a resolution of the
Management Board which will have been approved by the Supervisory Board with respect to the
specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the member of the Management Board,
member of the Supervisory Board, director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless
it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its current directors and will
enter into similar agreements with executive officers and certain officers and employees of
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. The Registrant believes that these indemnification agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers and as
officers and employees of LyondellBasell Industries N.V. The SEC has noted, however, that in the
opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

effective date of the Registration Statement (or the 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; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed 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;
and
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement 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.
(c) 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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 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.
