The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes of any Series except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes of any Series in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including any Supplement hereto) and the Notes or (b) pursuant to a written offer to purchase any outstanding Notes of any Series made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes of such Series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions (except that if such Series has more than one separate tranche, such written offer shall be allocated among all of the separate tranches of such Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof but such written offer may otherwise differ among such separate tranches and such written offer shall be made pro rata to the holders of the same tranches of such Series upon the same terms and conditions); provided, that if any Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such purchase, such written offer to purchase pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be made pro rata to the holders of all Notes of all Series then outstanding. Any such written offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least fifteen (15) Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes of such Series then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such Series of Notes of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of such Series of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five (5) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount for the Series 2010-A Notes. The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Series 2010-A Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Series 2010-A Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Series 2010-A Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2010-A Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Series 2010-A Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

- 21 -

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield will be rounded to that number of decimals as appears in the coupon for the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2010-A Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Series 2010-A Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2010-A Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Prepayment Upon Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control; Offer to Prepay if Change in Control has Occurred. The Company will, within five (5) Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes.

The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by clause (a) of this Section 8.7 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by each holder (in the case of this Section 8.7 only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). The Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7, or to accept an offer as to all of the Notes held by the holder, within such time period, shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder of Notes may accept a prepayment offer contemplated by this Section 8.7 with respect to one Series (or tranche) of Notes and reject such prepayment offer with respect to another Series (or tranche) of Notes.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment, but without payment of the Make-Whole Amount or any premium.

In the event any Debt Prepayment Application is to be used at the election of the Company to make an offer (a “Disposition Prepayment Offer”) to prepay Notes pursuant to Section 10.9(f) of this Agreement (a “Debt Prepayment Transfer”), the Company will give written notice of such Debt Prepayment Transfer to each holder of Notes. Such written notice shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer to prepay, at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder equal to such holder’s Ratable

- 23 -

Portion of the Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer on a date specified in such notice (the “Disposition Prepayment Date”) that is not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice, together with interest on the amount to be so prepaid accrued to the Disposition Prepayment Date. If the Disposition Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such notice, the Disposition Prepayment Date shall be the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date of such notice.

(b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Disposition Prepayment Offer, a holder of Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice from the Company, provided, that failure to accept such offer in writing within twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Disposition Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of a Note, such offered prepayment (equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer) shall be due and payable on the Disposition Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Disposition Prepayment Date determined as of the date of such prepayment, but without payment of the Make-Whole Amount or any premium. The prepayment shall be made on the Disposition Prepayment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder of Notes may accept a prepayment offer contemplated by this Section 8.8 with respect to one Series (or tranche) of Notes and reject such prepayment offer with respect to another Series (or tranche) of Notes.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(h), (i) or (j) has occurred, all the Notes of every Series then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes of every Series then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount, if any, by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3. Rescission.

No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may

- 34 -

Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000.

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within ten Business Days thereafter the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same Series (and of the same tranche if such Series has separate tranches) as such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 14.2. Home Office Payment.

Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or such Person’s nominee, such Person will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser or Additional Purchaser under this Agreement (including any Supplement) and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers and Additional Purchasers, as applicable, have made in this Section 14.2.

Any consent made pursuant to this Section 17 by a holder of Notes that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Notes to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

Section 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser or any Additional Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary or confidential in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary unless the source of such information is known by such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser and each Additional Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Persons, provided that such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s Notes), (ii) such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were

- 41 -

a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser and each Additional Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser or an Additional Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” or an “Additional Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser, and such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement (including all covenants and other agreements contained in any Supplement) by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness using fair value (as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.5. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 22.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

- 43 -

Section 22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Supplement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(c) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

To the Series A Purchasers (as defined below)

Arch Chemicals, Inc.

Issuance and Sale of 4.00% Series 2010-A Senior Notes due December 31, 2017

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Virginia counsel to Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2010 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the Purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto (the “Series A Purchasers”). The transactions relate to the issuance and sale by the Company to the Series A Purchasers of $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.00% Series 2010-A Senior Notes due December 31, 2017 (the “Notes”).

This opinion is being furnished to you at the request of the Company as required by Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Note Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, we have examined the following:

(i) the Note Purchase Agreement;

(ii) the Notes; and

(iii) a Certificate of the Secretary of the Company, dated the date hereof, to which the following documents are attached:

(a) the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended through the date hereof, of the Company as certified on September 2, 2010 by the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “SCC”);

(d) a certificate issued by the SCC on September 2, 2010 and confirmed on the date hereof, to the effect that the Company is existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and in good standing.

For purposes of the opinions expressed below, we have assumed (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted as certified, photostatic or electronic copies and the authenticity of the originals thereof, (iii) the genuineness of all signatures not witnessed by us and (iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all parties and the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof on such parties (other than the authorization, execution and delivery of documents by the Company).

As to factual matters, we have relied upon representations included in the documents submitted to us, upon certificates of officers of the Company and upon certificates of public officials.

We do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Based upon the foregoing and such other information and documents as we have considered necessary for the purposes hereof, we are of the opinion that:

(1) The Company has been duly incorporated, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and has the corporate power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted as such business is described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, to execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions thereof.

(2) The Note Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(3) The Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(4) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to, consent of, order of or filing with any Virginia governmental authority by the Company is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes, except as may be required under the blue sky laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (as to which we express no opinion).

I am Senior Vice President, Strategic Development and Chief Legal Officer of Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Master Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 9, 2010 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the purchasers in Schedule A thereto (the “Purchasers”), relating to the purchase by the Purchasers on the date hereof of $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.00% Series 2010-A Senior Notes due December 31, 2017 (the “Notes”).

Based upon the foregoing, I am of opinion as follows:

(a) The issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Note Purchase Agreement do not violate any Material agreement or other Material instrument known to me to which the Company or any Material Subsidiary is a party or by which the company or any Material Subsidiary may be bound.

(b) To my knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, and after inquiry of the Company’s in-house counsel primarily responsible for insurance and litigation matters, threatened, against the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal which, in my good faith judgment, would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries take as a whole or on the legality, validity or enforceability of the Company’s obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes. To my knowledge, there is no default on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any outstanding applicable order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority or arbitration board that would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

I am admitted to practice in the State of New York, and I express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of New York.

I am furnishing this opinion to you, as the purchasers in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, solely for your benefit and your successors and permitted assigns under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Arch Chemicals, Inc.

$125,000,000 4.00% Series 2010-A Senior Notes Due December 31, 2017

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the purchase on the date hereof by the Purchasers (as defined below) of $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.00% Series 2010-A Senior Notes due December 31, 2017 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Master Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 9, 2010 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto (the “Purchasers”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement.

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including: (a) the Note Purchase Agreement, (b) the Notes and (c) a certificate dated as of the date hereof, from an officer of the Company (the “Officer’s Certificate”), attached as Exhibit A hereto. As noted in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, we have relied, with respect to certain factual matters, on the representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Officer’s Certificate, and have assumed compliance by each such party with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of opinion as follows:

1. Assuming that the Note Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the Note Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2. Assuming that the Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Notes constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3. Assuming (i) the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants of each Purchaser in the Note Purchase Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes in the manner contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, to register the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to qualify an indenture in respect of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any resale of any Notes.

4. Based solely on the Officer’s Certificate, the Company is not required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5. Assuming the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in Section 5.14 of the Note Purchase Agreement, none of the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes) will violate or result in a violation of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve System.

We express no opinion herein as to any provision of the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes that (a) relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any Federal court of the United States of America, or any Federal appellate court, to adjudicate any controversy related to the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes, (b) contains a waiver of an inconvenient forum or (c) relates to the waiver of rights to jury trial. We also express no opinion as to whether a state court outside the State of New York or a Federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes.

We understand that you are satisfying yourselves as to the status under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state fraudulent conveyance laws of the obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, and we express no opinion thereon.

We are admitted to practice in the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of New York and the Federal law of the United States of America. In particular, we do not purport to pass on any matter governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

We are furnishing this opinion to you solely for the benefit of the Purchasers. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person (including by any person that acquires the Notes from a Purchaser) or for any other purpose. It may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose; provided that this opinion may be shown to regulatory authorities to which you are subject (including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) in connection with a review of the above transactions and to any transferee or potential transferee of the Notes in connection with a sale of the Notes to such transferee. We are opining as to the matters herein only as of the date hereof, and, while you are authorized to show this opinion to such regulatory authorities or transferees for such purposes, the rights to do so do not imply any rights on their part to rely on this opinion or any obligation on our part to update this opinion.

We have acted as your special counsel in connection with your separate purchases on the date hereof of $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Series 2010-A Senior Notes, due December 31, 2017 (the “Series 2010-A Notes”) of Arch Chemicals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), issued under and pursuant to the Master Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 9, 2010 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and each of you. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(d) of the Note Purchase Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies of the following documents:

(a) The Note Purchase Agreement;

(b) The Series 2010-A Notes executed and delivered by the Company on the date hereof;

(c) A copy of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company and all amendments thereto certified by the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the certificate of good standing issued to the Company by the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Good Standing Certificate”);

(d) A copy of the Bylaws of the Company, as amended to the date hereof, and a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to the authorization of the Note Purchase Agreement, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Series 2010-A Notes and related matters, each as certified by the Secretary of the Company;

(e) The opinion of Hunton & Xxxxxxxx LLP, special Virginia counsel to the Company, dated the date hereof and delivered responsive to Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement;

(f) The opinion of Xxxxx X. X’Xxxxxx, Senior Vice President, Strategic Development and Chief Legal Officer of the Company, dated the date hereof and delivered responsive to Section 4.4(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement;

(g) The opinion of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, special counsel to the Company, dated the date hereof and delivered responsive to Section 4.4(c) of the Note Purchase Agreement;

(h) Such certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials as we have deemed necessary to give the opinions hereinafter expressed; and

(i) Such other documents and matters of law as we have deemed necessary to give the opinions hereinafter expressed.

We believe that the opinions referred to in clauses (e), (f) and (g) above are satisfactory in scope and form and that you are justified in relying thereon. Our opinion as to matters referred to in paragraph 1 below is based solely upon an examination of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the Good Standing Certificate and the general business corporation law of the Commonwealth of Virginia. We have also relied, as to certain factual matters, upon appropriate certificates of public officials and officers of the Company and upon representations of the Company and you delivered in connection with the issuance and sale of the Series 2010-A Notes delivered on the date hereof.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and has the corporate power and the corporate authority to execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement and to issue the Series 2010-A Notes.

2. The Note Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding contract of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.4(d)-2

3. The Series 2010-A Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Series 2010-A Notes being delivered on the date hereof have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4. The issuance, sale and delivery of the Series 2010-A Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement do not, under existing law, require the registration of the Series 2010-A Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

Our opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the general business corporation law of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the federal laws of the United States, and we express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Respectfully submitted,

The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5 to the Supplement. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).
