7. DEBT

        Outstanding debt consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

Huntsman Corporation

Huntsman International

DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

        Huntsman Corporation's direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of a guarantee of certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. Substantially all of our other debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International). Huntsman Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

        Certain of our subsidiaries are designated as nonguarantor subsidiaries and have third-party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

Senior Credit Facilities

        As of September 30, 2013, our senior credit facilities ("Senior Credit Facilities") consisted of our revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility"), our extended term loan B facility ("Extended Term Loan B"), our extended term loan B facility—series 2 ("Extended Term Loan B—Series 2") and our term loan C facility ("Term Loan C") as follows (dollars in millions):

        Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and certain of our foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors"), and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

Amendments to Credit Agreement

        On October 15, 2013, Huntsman International entered into a tenth amendment to the agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement"). The amendment, among other things, permits us to incur a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion (the "New Term Loan") and to increase our Revolving Facility by up to $400 million to a total aggregate revolving credit facility of up to $800 million (the "Revolving Increase").

        We have entered into commitments with certain financial institutions to provide for the New Term Loan and provide for $200 million of the Revolving Increase. We intend to use the net proceeds of the New Term Loan, when funded, to pay the cash consideration related to Huntsman International's acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. If the acquisition is not consummated, we may use the net proceeds to refinance certain indebtedness of Huntsman International.

        The New Term Loan will mature on the seventh anniversary of the date such New Term Loan is funded and will amortize in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan, payable quarterly commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ended after the date the New Term Loan is funded. The Revolving Increase will mature on the same date as the Revolving Facility.

        On August 22, 2013, Huntsman International entered into a ninth amendment to the Credit Agreement. The amendment provided for additional term loans in the amount of $100 million, the net proceeds of which were used for general corporate purposes. The additional term loans have identical terms to our Extended Term Loan B.

        On March 11, 2013, Huntsman International entered into an eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement. The amendment provided for an additional term loan of $225 million, the net proceeds of which were used to repay in full the remaining $193 million principal amount under our then outstanding term loan B facility and for general corporate purposes. The additional term loan was recorded at its carrying value of $224 million as of September 30, 2013. The additional term loan has identical terms to our Extended Term Loan B. In connection with this debt repayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1 million.

A/R Programs

        Our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program ("U.S. A/R Program") and our European accounts receivable securitization program ("EU A/R Program" and, collectively with the U.S. A/R Program, our "A/R Programs") are structured so that we grant a participating undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables to a U.S. special purpose entity ("U.S. SPE") and a European special purpose entity ("EU SPE"). We retain the servicing rights and a retained interest in the securitized receivables. Information regarding the A/R Programs was as follows (monetary amounts in millions):

        As of September 30, 2013, $594 million of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under the A/R Programs.

Amendments to A/R Programs

        On April 29, 2013, Huntsman International entered into an amendment to the agreements governing its U.S. A/R Program. This amendment, among other things, extends the scheduled commitment termination date of the U.S. A/R Program by two years to April 2016, provides for additional availability under the U.S. A/R Program and reduces the applicable margin on borrowings to 1.10%.

        On April 29, 2013, Huntsman International entered into an amendment to the agreements governing its EU A/R Program. This amendment, among other things, extends the scheduled commitment termination date of the EU A/R Program by two years to April 2016 and reduces the applicable margin on borrowings to 1.35%.

Notes

        As of September 30, 2013, we had outstanding the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

        On March 4, 2013, pursuant to an indenture entered into on November 19, 2012, Huntsman International issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of additional 4.875% senior notes due 2020 (the "2020 Senior Notes"). The aggregate additional notes are recorded at carrying value of $246 million as of September 30, 2013. Huntsman International applied the net proceeds to redeem the remaining $200 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% senior notes due 2016 (the "2016 Senior Notes"), to pay associated accrued interest and for general corporate purposes.

        The 2020 Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.875% per year payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year and are due on November 15, 2020. Huntsman International may redeem the 2020 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to August 17, 2020 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

        The 2020 Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Huntsman International and are guaranteed on a general unsecured senior basis by the Guarantors. The indenture with respect to the 2020 Senior Notes imposes certain limitations on the ability of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of nonguarantor subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2020 Senior Notes will have the right to require that Huntsman International purchase all or a portion of such holder's 2020 Senior Notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we redeemed or repurchased the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        As of September 30, 2013, Arabian Amines Company had $175 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, is currently not in compliance with payment and other obligations under these loan commitments. We do not guarantee these loan commitments and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations, and the noncompliance with these financial covenants does not affect any of our other debt obligations. We are currently in discussions with the lenders under these loan commitments and expect to resolve the noncompliance. As of September 30, 2013, the amounts outstanding under these loan commitments were classified as current on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

Other Debt

        During the three months ended September 30, 2012, Huntsman Polyurethanes Shanghai Ltd., our consolidated splitting joint venture with Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Company, Ltd ("HPS"), repaid RMB 213 million (approximately $35 million) on term loans and working capital loans under its secured facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, HPS repaid $2 million and RMB 293 million (approximately $48 million) on term loans and working capital loans under its secured facilities. As of September 30, 2013, HPS had $6 million and RMB 221 million (approximately $36 million) outstanding under its debt facilities.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of September 30, 2013, we have a loan of $872 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International (the "Intercompany Note"). The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of September 30, 2013 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of September 30, 2013, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Program, less 10 basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

        We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes. However, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, is currently not in compliance with payment and other obligations under its loan commitments. See "—Variable Interest Entity Debt" above.

        Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

        Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant (the "Leverage Covenant") which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is tested at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

        If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

        The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.
