other requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement. In connection with any such termination and under other specified circumstances, Rockwood must pay Albemarle a termination fee of $180 million. In connection with the termination of the Merger
Agreement under other specified circumstances, Albemarle must pay Rockwood a termination fee of $300 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated because either party fails to receive the necessary approval of its stockholders in connection with
the Merger, then that party would be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the other party, up to a cap of $25 million. Any such expense reimbursement would offset any termination fee payable under the terms of the Merger Agreement. </P>
