The Financing Agreements consisted of (i) a $450 senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility ("2013 Revolver"), which we voluntarily reduced to $350 in 2009, (ii) a $1.2 billion senior secured term loan facility ("2014 Term Loan") and (iii) a $400 senior unsecured bridge facility ("Bridge"), which was repaid in August 2008 with proceeds from the stock offerings discussed in Note 15 – Shareholders' Equity. Proceeds from the Financing Agreements and existing cash were used to (i) repay the debtor-in-possession credit facility, (ii) retire Solutia Services International S.C.A./Comm. V.A.'s Facility Agreement due 2011, (iii) retire the Flexsys term loan and revolving credit facility due 2012, (iv) pay certain secured and administrative claims and (v) provide additional liquidity for operations.</font></font></font></div>

Net proceeds of $66, after incorporating the original issue discount and debt issuance fees, were used to pay down our 2013 Revolver. On June 25, 2009, we repaid the Senior Term Loan utilizing a portion of the $119 of proceeds from our 2009 stock offering discussed in Note 15 – Shareholders' Equity. As a result of the early payment, we incurred a non-cash charge of $8 to loss on debt extinguishment to write-off unamortized debt issue costs and debt discount related to the Senior Term Loan.</font></font></font></div>

A portion of the $391 net proceeds received from the 2017 Notes were used to pay down $300 of principal on the 2014 Term Loan. As a result of the early payment, we incurred a $30 non-cash charge to loss on debt extinguishment to write-off unamortized debt issue costs related to the 2014 Term Loan. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2017 Notes, we amended our Revolver and Term Loan to provide greater operational and strategic flexibility in addition to increasing our liquidity and leverage covenant cushion.</font></font></font></div>

In addition, we extinguished our existing $1.2 billion 2014 Term Loan and $350 2013 Revolver, replacing them with a $1,150 senior secured credit facility ("Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of an $850 term loan maturing in 2017 ("2017 Term Loan") and a $300 revolving credit facility maturing in 2015 ("2015 Revolver"). As a result of the early extinguishment of our 2014 Term Loan and 2013 Revolver, we incurred an $80 non-cash charge related to the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs on our 2014 Term Loan and 2013 Revolver and a $9 prepayment penalty for the early extinguishment of the 2014 Term Loan. These amounts were recorded in loss on debt extinguishment for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.</font></font></font></div>
