The Honeywell Group shall retain all assets and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Honeywell Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans related to any AdvanSix Employee or Former AdvanSix Employee (and their respective beneficiaries) in connection with his or her service prior to the Distribution, including the obligation to make all payments or distributions in respect of such Liabilities in accordance with the terms of the applicable Honeywell Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The Parties hereto agree that none of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, including this Agreement, will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under the Honeywell Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans to any AdvanSix Employee or Former AdvanSix Employee (and their respective beneficiaries) and, consequently, that the payment or distribution of any compensation to which any AdvanSix Employee or Former AdvanSix Employee (and their respective beneficiaries) is entitled under the Honeywell Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans will occur upon the time or times provided for under the applicable Honeywell Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans and such AdvanSix Employee’s or Former AdvanSix Employee’s deferral elections. Following the payment or distribution of such amounts to the AdvanSix Employees, Former AdvanSix Employees or their respective beneficiaries, the members of the Honeywell Group shall have no actual or potential Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the participation of the AdvanSix Employees and Former AdvanSix Employees in the Honeywell Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans. Following the date of this Agreement, Honeywell and AdvanSix shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in administering the Honeywell Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans for purposes of satisfying any obligations relating to the participation of any AdvanSix Employee or Former AdvanSix Employee, including by exchanging any necessary participant records and engaging recordkeepers, administrators, providers, insurers and other third parties.

LONG-Term Incentive COMPENSATION AWARDS

SECTION 12.01. AdvanSix Long-Term Incentive Plan. Prior to the Distribution, Honeywell shall cause AdvanSix to adopt a long-term incentive plan or program, to be effective immediately prior to the Distribution (the “AdvanSix Long-Term Incentive Plan”) and Honeywell shall approve the AdvanSix Long-Term Incentive Plan as the sole stockholder of AdvanSix.

SECTION 12.02. Equity Award Adjustments. Each outstanding equity award granted under the Honeywell Equity Plans held by any individual as of the Distribution shall be adjusted in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of Honeywell in connection with the Distribution. Equity awards that are covered by this Section 12.02 shall not be exercisable and/or settled during a period beginning on a date prior to the Distribution Date determined by Honeywell in its sole discretion, and continuing until the adjustments made pursuant to such resolutions are completed, as determined by Honeywell in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Honeywell Equity Plans or an award agreement to the contrary, any awards under the Honeywell Equity Plans held by AdvanSix Employees (including GPUs) shall remain outstanding through the following applicable date (each, a “Vesting Date”): (a) in the case of stock options, through March 2017; (b) in the case of restricted stock units, through the end of July 2017; and (c) in the case of GPUs, to the end of March 2017. Such awards shall otherwise remain subject to the terms of the applicable Honeywell Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement; provided, however, that service with the AdvanSix Group through such vesting date shall count as service with the Honeywell Group for purposes of vesting under such awards. Any award, or portion of any award, that does not become vested on or prior to the applicable Vesting Date shall be forfeited.

| 14

SECTION 12.04. Incentive Award Reimbursement. Following the Distribution, Honeywell may, from time to time, deliver to AdvanSix a summary (a “Reimbursement Invoice”) of all Reimbursement Events that have occurred on or after the date of the previous Reimbursement Invoice or, in the case of the first Reimbursement Invoice delivered to AdvanSix, the Distribution Date. Such Reimbursement Invoice shall also include an amount equal to the aggregate value of all expenses incurred on or after the Distribution by the Honeywell Group, as determined by Honeywell in its reasonable discretion and consistent with past practice, with respect to the Reimbursement Awards identified in such Reimbursement Invoice, and within ten (10) days following the delivery of such Reimbursement Invoice, AdvanSix shall make a cash payment to Honeywell equal to such aggregate value.

SECTION 12.05. Cooperation. For so long as any equity award in respect of Honeywell Common Stock is outstanding and held by an AdvanSix Employee or Former AdvanSix Employee, the Honeywell Group and the AdvanSix Group shall reasonably cooperate in the exchange of information and take any action necessary to administer such equity awards following the Distribution, including the following: (i) AdvanSix shall notify Honeywell in writing within five (5) days of any change in employment status (including but not limited to termination of employment), (ii) the Parties shall exchange any information necessary to satisfy their obligations under Section 12.04, (iii) the Parties shall take any steps necessary to ensure that the employee-paid portion of any Taxes (including any Employment Taxes) required to be withheld upon the exercise or vesting of any such equity award is withheld by or paid over to, as applicable, the applicable Party responsible for remitting such amount to the appropriate Taxing Authority as promptly as reasonably practicable, (iv) AdvanSix will provide payroll information to Honeywell in respect of AdvanSix Employees and Former AdvanSix Employees, including year-to-date amounts withheld for Federal Insurance Contribution Act Taxes, Medicare Taxes and supplemental compensation, (v) other than with respect to the Reimbursement Awards, any U.S. Federal, state and local income Tax deduction arising as a result of the exercise, vesting or settlement of any equity award held by an AdvanSix Employees or Former AdvanSix Employee adjusted pursuant to Section 12.02 will be claimed by a member of the Honeywell Group; provided, however, that if a deduction claimed by a member of the Honeywell Group pursuant to this Section 12.05 is disallowed by a Taxing Authority for any reason, a member of the AdvanSix Group shall amend its Tax Return to claim such deduction and pay to Honeywell an amount equal to the tax benefit actually realized by the AdvanSix Group resulting from such deduction; provided further that Honeywell, upon the request of AdvanSix, shall repay any amount paid to Honeywell under the immediately preceding proviso (plus any interest imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) in the event AdvanSix is required to surrender such tax benefit and (vi) the Parties will cooperate following the Distribution, so that the value of any tax benefit actually realized by any member of the Honeywell Group in connection with the vesting, settlement or exercise of any Reimbursement Award will be transferred to AdvanSix following the Distribution.

SECTION 12.06. Treatment of Reimbursements. Any cash payment made by AdvanSix to Honeywell in respect of any award settled in or exercised for Honeywell Common Stock pursuant to this Article XII shall be treated by Honeywell and

| 15

AdvanSix for all Tax purposes as purchase price or partial purchase price for the shares of Honeywell Common Stock equal to the value of any such cash payment, and not as a distribution from AdvanSix to Honeywell immediately prior to the Distribution or as consideration for any property contributed to AdvanSix in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement. Any cash payment made by Honeywell to AdvanSix pursuant to this Article XII shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a contribution from Honeywell to AdvanSix immediately prior to the Distribution.
