The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid for all purposes hereunder on the date the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds, as of 12:00 noon (New York City time), money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all such principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

11

SECTION 4.3.Note Guarantees. The Base Indenture is hereby supplemented, solely with respect to that series of Debt Securities which consists of the Notes, to add the covenant set forth in this Section 4.3 with respect to the Notes. The Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries except to the extent the Company elects to cause any such Subsidiary to execute a Note Guarantee to guarantee the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in order to comply with the covenant set forth under Section 4.4 pursuant to a Note Guarantee or otherwise.

Any Note Guarantee shall be evidenced by a supplemental indenture, executed by the applicable Guarantor and delivered by it to the Trustee, which shall set forth the terms and conditions of such Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from all obligations under its Note Guarantee, and such Note Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force and effect, upon:

(a) receipt by the Trustee of a notification from the Company that such Note Guarantee will be released; and

(b) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (x) any equity interests of such Guarantor following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (y) all or substantially all the properties and assets of such Guarantor to a Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(ii) the release, discharge or other termination of the Unsecured Debt (or the guarantee of Unsecured Debt issued by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary by such Guarantor), including as a result of the repayment thereof, which resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee (or would have resulted in the creation of a Note Guarantee had such Note Guarantee not already been in existence), so long as immediately after the release of such Note Guarantee (and after giving effect to all other substantially simultaneous releases of any other guarantees or indebtedness by such Guarantor), the Company would be in compliance with the covenant described in Section 4.4.

(iii) the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor with and into either the Company or any other Guarantor that is the surviving person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all or substantially all of its property and assets to either the Company or another Guarantor;

(iv) the exercise by the Company of its legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options, or the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes, as described in Article VI; or

(v) such Guarantor no longer being a Restricted Subsidiary.

12

Upon any such occurrence specified above, the Trustee shall execute any documents prepared by the Company and reasonably required to acknowledge such release, discharge and termination in respect of such Note Guarantee. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any such Note Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 hereof, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

SECTION 4.4.Future Guarantees. The Base Indenture is hereby supplemented, solely with respect to that series of Debt Securities which consists of the Notes, to add the covenant set forth in this Section 4.4 with respect to the Notes. If, after the Issue Date, any wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary creates, assumes or incurs any Unsecured Debt or guarantees any Unsecured Debt, in each case issued by the Company or any wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then the Company shall cause such wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary, within 45 days from such creation, assumption, incurrence or guarantee of such Unsecured Debt, to guarantee the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on an unsecured unsubordinated basis, except that no such guarantee of the Notes shall be required (a) as a result of any indebtedness (including any guarantees) by a Person (x) existing at the time such Person is merged into, or consolidated with, any Restricted Subsidiary, (y) existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or (z) being assumed by a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and assets of such Person (or a division thereof) as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that in each case any such indebtedness or guarantee was not incurred in contemplation thereof, (b) by any Restricted Subsidiary that is prohibited by any applicable law, rule, regulation or contractual obligation (other than any contractual obligation created in contemplation of such incurrence or guarantee) from guaranteeing the Notes or (c) by any Restricted Subsidiary that would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide a guarantee of the Notes (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received).

SECTION 4.5.Certain Amendments to the Base Indenture.

(a) Section 4.05(a)(i) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended, solely with respect to that series of Debt Securities which consists of the Notes, by replacing the phrase “Mortgages existing on the date of the Indenture” with “Mortgages existing on the date of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture”.

15

SECTION 5.2.Acceleration.

SECTION 5.5.Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

17

(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable under the Indenture by the Company with respect to the Notes;

For this purpose, covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 6.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 6.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4 hereof, Section 5.1(4) (with respect to any Significant Subsidiary) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

18

the Base Indenture) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the entire indebtedness in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or (if the Company has made irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) the redemption date thereof, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Notes;

(3) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance were not to occur;

(4) no Default with respect to the outstanding Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect thereto (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Mortgage to secure such borrowing);

(5) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or material instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; and

(6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with.

19

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) or (3) above with respect to a defeasance or a covenant defeasance need not to be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable, or (y) will become due and payable at Stated Maturity within one year or are to be called for redemption under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

SECTION 6.6.Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its written request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;provided,however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, inThe New York TimesandThe Wall StreetJournal(national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 8.3.Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 8.4.Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on the Note.

23

However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. When an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it thereafter binds every Holder.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for determining which Holders consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Company fixes a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished for the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture or (ii) such other date as the Company shall designate.

SECTION 8.5.Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

After any amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. The failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 8.6.Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article VIII if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In signing or refusing to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, that all conditions precedent thereto have been met or waived, that such amendment or supplemental indenture is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms.

OLIN CORPORATION

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1)Interest. Olin Corporation, a Virginia corporation, or its successor (together, “Olin”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note (the “Notes”) at a fixed rate of 5.000%per annum. Olin will pay interest in United States dollars semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2018 or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including January 19, 2018;providedthat if there is no existing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (but after January 19, 2018), interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of the Notes, in which case interest shall accrue from the date of authentication. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a360-day year comprised of twelve30-day months. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

(2)Method of Payment. Olin will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are registered Holders of the Notes at the close of business on the January 15 and July 15 preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.4 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of Olin maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of Olin, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders;providedthat payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided written wire transfer instructions to Olin and the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Any payments of principal of, and interest on, this Note prior to Stated Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. The amount due and payable at the maturity of this Note shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at an office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes.

(3)Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. Olin may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Olin or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4)Indenture. Olin issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August 19, 2009 (as supplemented and amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 9, 2012, among Olin, the Original Trustee and the Trustee, the “Base Indenture”), as further supplemented and amended by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 19, 2018 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture, as so supplemented and amended, the “Indenture”), between Olin and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). To the extent the provisions of this Note are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes issued on the Issue Date are senior unsecured obligations of Olin limited to $550,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, plus amounts, if any, sufficient to pay premium and interest on outstanding Notes as set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof. The Indenture permits the issuance of Additional Notes subject to compliance with certain conditions.

(5)Optional Redemption.Except as set forth below, Olin shall not be entitled to redeem the Notes at its option.

(i) At any time prior to February 1, 2024, Olin may redeem the Notes at its option in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(ii) The Notes are redeemable at Olin’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on or after February 1, 2024 at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below:

Year	Redemption Price
2024		102.500	%
2025		101.250	%
2026		100.625	%
2027 and thereafter		100.000	%

(iii) In addition, until February 1, 2021, Olin may, at any time and from time to time, upon notice as described below, redeem up to 35.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding at a redemption price equal to 105.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but

excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), with the net cash proceeds received by Olin from one or more Equity Offerings;providedthat (1) at least 65.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of the applicable Equity Offering.

If Olin is redeeming less than all of the Notes at any time, the Trustee will select Notes on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, subject to applicable exchange or depositary requirements.

Olin will redeem Notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part. Olin will cause notices of redemption to be delivered at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (or sent electronically in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary in the case of global Notes), except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give notice, to any holder selected for redemption will not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note redeemed in accordance with provisions of the Indenture.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Olin will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the holder upon cancellation of the original Note;providedthat new Notes will only be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Notes held in certificated form must be surrendered to the paying agent in order to collect the redemption price. Unless Olin defaults in the payment of the redemption price (and subject to the prior satisfaction (or waiver by Olin) of any conditions precedent to the redemption), on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Notice of any redemption may, at the Olin’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. In the event that the relevant conditions precedent are not satisfied (or waived by Olin) as of the date specified for redemption in any such notice (or amendment thereto), Olin may, in its discretion, rescind such notice or amend it on one or more occasions to specify another redemption date until the satisfaction (or waiver by Olin) of any such conditions precedent, unless such notice is earlier rescinded by Olin as described above. Subject to the foregoing, Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption.

(6)Mandatory Redemption. Olin shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7)[reserved]

(8) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, Olin shall make an offer to repurchase Notes, if and in the manner required by Section 4.1 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

(9)Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of the Notes may be registered and the Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and Olin may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Olin need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(10)Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(11)Defaults and Remedies. Each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default”:

(A) default in the payment in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note when due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity or upon repurchase, acceleration, optional redemption or otherwise);

(B) default in the payment of any interest upon any Note when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(C) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of Olin or any Subsidiary in the Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in the performance of which or the breach of which specifically dealt with in clauses (A) or (B) above), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof has been given to Olin by the Trustee or to Olin and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (providedthat, and without limiting the foregoing in this clause (C), in the case of a default or breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in Section 5.03 of the Base Indenture (as amended by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture), no Event of Default shall occur (and any such default or breach shall be deemed to not have occurred for all purposes under the Indenture) with respect to any failure to furnish or file any information or report required thereunder if Olin files or furnishes such information or report within 120 days after Olin was required (or would have been required) to file the same pursuant to the Commission’s rules and regulations); or

(D) (i) Olin or any Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(a) commences a voluntary case;

(b) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

(c) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

(d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(e) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or

(ii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(a) is for relief against Olin or any Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case;

(b) appoints a custodian of Olin or any Significant Subsidiary for all or substantially all of the property of Olin or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or

(c) orders the liquidation of Olin or any Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

(12)Trustee Dealings with Olin. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for Olin or its affiliates, and may otherwise deal with Olin or its affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(13)No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator, past, present or future, of Olin or any of its Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of Olin under the Notes or the Indenture by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting the Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuances of such Notes.

No recourse may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of Olin on the Notes or under the Indenture or any related documents, any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Trustee in its individual capacity, or (ii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee, agent, successor or assign of the Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iii) any holder of equity in the Trustee.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

(14)Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(15)Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(16)CUSIP, ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, Olin has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

(17)GOVERNING LAW. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THE INDENTURE, AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE OR THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR HEREBY.
