          TENNECO INC. ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF THE REQUISITE CONSENTS AND
       PRICING TERMS FOR ITS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED PARTIAL TENDER OFFER AND
                              CONSENT SOLICITATION

Lake Forest, Illinois, November 15, 2007 -- Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) today
announced that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 15, 2007 (the
"Consent Date") a total of approximately $474 million in aggregate principal
amount of its 10 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (CUSIP 880349AD7) have been
tendered pursuant to its tender offer for up to $230 million aggregate principal
amount of notes.

As such, the requisite consents of holders of a majority in principal amount of
notes required to adopt the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the
notes have been received, and the company and the trustee executed a
supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments described in the Offer
to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated November 1, 2007.
Accordingly, tendered notes may no longer be withdrawn and consents delivered
may no longer be revoked, except in the limited circumstances described in the
offer to purchase.

Based on the results to date, more than $230 million principal amount of notes
have already been tendered, so the amount of notes that will be purchased will
be prorated based on the aggregate principal amount of notes validly tendered in
the tender offer on or before the expiration date.

In addition, the pricing terms of the offer were also set today. As such, the
total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of notes validly tendered
and not withdrawn prior to the Consent Date is $1,087.09, which includes a
consent payment of $30. The total consideration was determined by reference to a
fixed spread of 50 basis points over the bid side yield of the 5 1/8% U.S.
Treasury Note due June 30, 2008, which was calculated at 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, today. The reference yield and the offer yield, as such terms are
used in the offer to purchase, are 3.581% and 4.081%.

Holders who tender their notes after the Consent Date but on or prior to the
expiration date for the offer, and whose notes are accepted for purchase, will
receive the related tender offer consideration as defined in the offer to
purchase, but will not receive the related consent payment.

The offer remains open and is scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City
time, on November 30, 2007, unless extended. In addition, accrued and unpaid
interest on the notes up to but not including the settlement date for the offer,
which is expected to be on or about December 3, 2007, will be paid in cash on
validly tendered notes accepted for purchase.



The tender offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver prior to the
acceptance date of customary conditions, including Tenneco having received from
the offer and sale of new notes, on terms and conditions acceptable to it in its
sole discretion, funds sufficient to consummate the offer. The company expects
to close on an offering of new 8?% Senior Notes due 2015 on or about November
20, 2007.

The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation
are described in the offer to purchase, copies of which may be obtained by
contacting Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent for the
offer, at (212) 430-3774 (collect) or (866) 873-5600 (U.S. toll-free). Banc of
