Founded in 1872, CMA is the oldest trade association in the Western Hemisphere. CMA's approximately 180 member companies represent more than 90 percent ofthe productive capacity ofbasic industrial chemicals within the United States. The Association brings together member company experts to help resolve industry-wide public policy, technical and scientific problems. It communicates with government and the public on vital issues and administers research, studies and tests on a wide range ofchemical products and practices. PURPOSE As set forth under Article II of the Bylaws, the purpose of the Association shall be the promotion of the inter- ests of the chemical industry of the United States of America and Canada. OBJECTIVES The Board of Directors has stated the objectives of the Association as follows: 1. To provide leadership to its members, and to repre sent them in presenting industry interests, views, and recommendations to the legislative and execu tive branches of the federal government and to the regulatory agencies (and to state and local govern ments when appropriate) on those matters which affect the industry's health, vigor, and well being. 2. To aid in developing and maintaining a clear under standing by the public of the chemical industry and its contributions to the public welfare and to the advancement of our national, state, and local econ omies; and by appropriate, timely, and effective means to make known the contributions, accom plishments, and changing needs of the industry to the public broadly, and particularly to those initia tors of thought and action outside the industry whose opinions, decisions, and actions affect the industry. 3. To provide leadership and guidance and to under take programs to improve the chemical industry's service to the public by developing and promoting safe and clean practices in the manufacture, trans portation, handling, and use of chemicals and chemical products. 4. To conduct or sponsor legitimate activities designed to achieve worthwhile benefit or savings to the Association members where individual company efforts cannot effectively accomplish the desired result. CMA 128926 RESPONSIBLE CARE A Public Commitment Public concerns about the impact of chemicals and hazardous wastes on human health and the environment continue to grow. Those concerns, whether real or perceived, have a direct impact on the chemical industry. Recognizing this, CMA's Board of Directors approved an initiative called "Responsible Care: A Public Commitment" in September 1988. The goal of Responsible Care is to continuously improve the chemical industry's performance in environmental, health and safety quality through the commitment and joint efforts of its individual member companies and of the Association. The initiative is designed to be responsive to public concerns. On October 30,1988, CMA's membership adopted a Bylaw change mak ing participation in Responsible Care an obligation of CMA membership. The Responsible Care initiative has six program elements: 1) Guiding Principles A statement of the philosophy and commitment by each member company regarding environmental, health and safety responsibilities in the manage ment of chemicals. 2) Codes of Management Practices Management goals which members are to make continuous good faith efforts to attain. 3) A Public Advisory Panel A cross-section of environmental, health and safety thought leaders to assist the industry in identifying and developing programs and actions that are responsive and are viewed as being responsive to public concerns. 4) Member Self-Evaluations Reports, measurements and other demonstrations of program implementation and progress toward improved environmental, health and safety performance in the responsible management of chemicals. 5) Executive Leadership Groups Periodic regional meetings of executive contacts to review Codes of Management Practices under development, discuss members' progress on existing codes and identify areas where assistance from the Association or other companies is needed. 6) Obligation of Membership Bylaw obligation of member companies to ascribe to the Guiding Principles, participate in the development of the codes and programs, make good-faith efforts to implement the program elements of the Responsible Care initiative, and use the Responsible Care name and logo according to the Associations guidelines. GUIDING PRINCIPLES for RESPONSIBLE CARE As a member of the Chemical Manufacturers Association, this company is committed to support a continuing effort to improve the industry's responsible management of chemicals. We pledge to manage our business according to these principles: 1. To recognize and respond to community concerns about chemicals and our operations. 2. To develop and produce chemicals that can be manufactured, transported, used and disposed of safely. 3. To make health, safety and environmental considerations a priority in our planning for all existing and new products and processes. 4. To report promptly to officials, employees, customers and the public, information on chemical-related health or environmen tal hazards and to recommend protective measures. 5. To counsel customers on the safe use, transportation and disposal of chemical products. 6. To operate our plants and facilities in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of our employees and the public. 7. To extend knowledge by conducting or supporting research on the health, safety and environmental effects of our products, processes and waste materials. 8. To work with others to resolve problems created by past handling and disposal of hazardous substances. 9. To participate with government and others in creating responsible laws, regulations and standards to safeguard the community, workplace and environment. 10. To promote the principles and practices of Responsible Care by sharing experiences and offering assistance to others who produce, handle, use, transport or dispose of chemicals. CM chemical manufacturers ASSOCIATION ________________ OFFICERS CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD H.

The Associations Bylaws, in Article V, Sec tion 8, authorize the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee to appoint such committees with such duties and functions as may from time to time be determined. The Bylaws further permit adoption of regulations for the conduct of committee affairs consistent with Asso ciation policy and subject to review and approval by the Board or Executive Committee as appropriate. To assist the committees in carrying out their func tions consistent with the Bylaws, certain general princi ples applicable to the structure and operation of all com mittees are formalized in this Resolution. No committee or other group operating under CMA auspices on CMA business shall deviate from these general principles, except where specifically authorized by the Executive Committee or the Board (or as determined to be neces sary by the President or Secretary of the Association). As used in this Resolution, unless otherwise indi cated, the term "committee" includes all CMA standing committees and such special committees as may be au thorized from time to time, but does not include the Executive Committee or other committees composed of members of the Board. 1. Functional vs. Product Committees. The Asso ciation's committees shall continue to be organized pri marily along functional rather than product lines. No committee having to do with a particular chemical prod uct or product segment shall be formed without approv al of the Board (or in an emergency by the President of the Association). Before agreeing to the establishment of any such committee, the Executive Committee shall determine whether the existing committees are adequate to handle the problem, and if not, whether the problem is of such general concern as to call for a new standing or special committee. All committees dealing with a par ticular product segment of the industry and all other committees for a temporary purpose shall be deemed ad hoc. Unless otherwise specified, the term of such committee shall be no longer than two years, subject to renewal for periods of one year or less by specific action of the Board. 2. Purpose*. Each committee shall operate in accord ance with PURPOSES setting forth its authorized activ ities which have been approved by the Executive Com mittee. Each committee's PURPOSES shall be printed in the Association's annual Directory. 3. Organization. All committees shall, unless other wise authorized, be subject to the following rules in respect to their organization: (a) Member*. Each committee normally shall be limited to not more than 15 members. The mem bers shall be recommended by the President of the Association and appointed by the Executive Com mittee from qualified full time personnel of member companies interested in supporting such activities. To the maximum extent practicable, appointments should be reasonably representative of all inter ested member companies, taking into account such factors as their size, geographical location, chemi cals manufactured, and differences in the general nature of their operations. Normally, a member company may have only one representative on a given committee. Members of any necessary task groups shall be appointed by the committee on the same basis. The membership of each committee should be comprised of persons well qualified in the committee's field of activity, normally having primary responsibilities within that field in their respective companies. Nomination for committee membership will be made by member company Ex ecutive Contacts and shall include name, company affiliation and personal title, background relevant to committee's field of activity, and description of responsibilities within the company. A committee may nominate for consideration by the President or Executive Committee one or more associate mem bers representing governmental bodies or scientific trade associations where such representation on a continuing basis will facilitate significantly the com mittee's programs. Associate members shall have non-voting status and be subject to review and Executive Committee confirmation annually. (b) tksk Croup*. A committee may form such task groups as may be necessary to assist it in con ducting its authorized activities. The Executive Committee shall be promptly advised of the forma tion of each such task group, and terms of refer ence m each case shall be established in writing by the parent committee subject to the review and approval by CMA staff and the President of the Association. 'As approved by the Board ofDirectors on .March 12,1963, and amended by the Executive Committee on March 19,1971: July 11, 1978, and June 3,1981. 41 CMA 128966 (c) Officer*. The chairman of each committee to serve as its chief executive officer, and a vice chairman, shall be appointed annually by the Exec utive Committee. The heads of task groups shall be appointed by the respective chairmen with commit tee approval. (d) Rotation. The term of individual commit tee members shall be three years, one third of the membership being rotated annually. Initial commit tee membership terms will be scaled to accommo date this rotation. Upon the expiration of one term of committee membership, a waiting period of at least one year must lapse before a former member becomes eligible for reappointment. For this pur pose, a term will be regarded as three years or any fraction thereof according to the member's latest appointment to that committee. A committee mem ber appointed chairman in the third year of his committee tenure may be appointed to a second year as chairman in which case he would serve in this post outside of the member limit on committee membership. A chairman cannot be extended in this manner for more than one additional year. (e) SUITExecutive ud Committee Secre tary. Each committee shall have as its staff execu tive and secretary a full time CMA staff employee who shall function as the Board's administrative representative for such committee and as its chief administrative officer. It shall be the staff execu tive's duty and responsibility to see that all opera tions and proceedings of the committee, and of all its task groups, are conducted in full conformity with their purposes and this Resolution, consulting with General Counsel as necessary. On all proce dural questions arising within any committee, in cluding matters related to established Association policy, the staff executive's decision shall be accepted, pending appropriate review. 4. Meeting*. The business of each committee shall be conducted in executive sessions attended by its members and by others who have a leading role in matters to be considered at the particular meeting. Each task group meeting shall be an executive session of assigned mem bers of the task group plus any members of the parent committee who wish to be present. (a) Frequency. Each committee and task group will meet only as necessary to perform au thorized committee business as determined by the chairman in consultation with the CMA staff. Meet ings should not be held where subject matter can be adequately and practicably handled by corre 42 spondence or telephone between the appropriate staff executive and individual members. (b) Location. To the extent practicable and in the absence of cogent reasons for being elsewhere, all committee and task group meetings should be held in Washington, D.C., preferably at the Associa tion's office. Other locations, such as major city air ports, may be considered in instances when they would afford greater convenience and cost savings to attendees. (c) Agenda. Following consultation with the committee chairman, the staff executive assigned to each committee shall prepare written agenda prior to each of its meetings, which agenda shall be cleared in advance with General Counsel. (d) Attendance of Staff Executive. No CMA committee meeting shall be held without the attendance of the staff executive assigned to it or other full time CMA staff employee. General Coun sel or his designate should also attend any meeting whenever in his option the nature of any subject on the agenda makes his presence desirable. (e) Minute*. The staff executive assigned as secretary to the committee shall keep accurate and complete minutes of all business transacted at each meeting, which are to be subject to review and ap proval by General Counsel. (f) Di*cu**ion* Limited to Agendn. All substantive discussions at any CMA committee meeting are to be limited to authorized aspects of subjects on the agenda, except where additions to the agenda are specifically approved by the staff ex ecutive assigned to the committee. The staff execu tive's decision as to the propriety of any subject matter raised for discussion at any meeting shall be accepted, pending appropriate review. Any discus sions or occurrences on the occasion of any meet ing which are contrary to CMA's policies or rules and which have come to the staff executive's atten tion shall be reported promptly by him to his super visor and to General Counsel. (g) Tk*k Croup*. The foregoing rules on meetings are applicable to all committees, task groups, and any other working groups, and any other working groups meeting under CMA aus pices, except that subparagraphs (c). (d), and (e) may be modified as indicated below in those cases where the group must meet in order to carry out a limited and specific written assignment from the parent committee and it is impractical for a staff executive to be present. In each such case, (i) the specific assignment must be set forth in the parent CMA 128967 A committee's minutes; (ii) the CMA staff executive assigned as secretary to the parent committee must be satisfied that the meeting in question is neces sary and that the subject matter is not such as to require staff presence, (iii) the chairman of the group is to be responsible for carrying out the du ties of the CMA staff executive, including partic ularly those specified in subparagraph (0 above; and (iv) the chairman must promptly make an accu rate and complete written report to the parent com mittee and to the CMA staff executive as to every thing occurring at such meeting. (h) General Meeting*. Apart from executive sessions, each committee shall schedule meetings, at least two per year, to which designees of Execu tive Contacts whose companies are not represented in the membership of the committee shall be invited and other interested representatives of member companies may attend. Such meetings shall be scheduled and notices issued amply in advance as often as appropriate to keep the designees and others informed about the committee's activities and provide opportunities for offering suggestions. 5. Policy Statement*. Statements of Association policy or position developed by any CMA committee or other group for submission to the Congress or any governmental or other external agency shall, unless otherwise authorized, be transmitted by the President or other appropriate officer of the Association. 6. Report*. An account of the significant program activities of each committee shall appear in the Annual Report of the Association. The President and Executive Committee shall be kept informed on a current basis by communication from the chairman and the assigned staff executive. Presentation of reports to the Board shall be made as determined by the Executive Committee. 7. Periodic Reminder to Committee Member*. A copy of this Resolution, as it may be amended from time to time, shall be furnished to each member of each CMA committee and task group thereof at the beginning of his duties as a member, and at least once a year there after so long as he remains a member. 43 CMA 128968 or SS15TufiEBS ASSOCIATION RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR COMMITTEES* L Purpose*. The purpose of each committee shall be as set forth in the CMA Directory. 2. Membership. Nominees, in addition to compe tence in the subject area, should have the perspec tive to recognize which matters are truly significant to the chemical industry, and have the talents and personal inclination to be dynamic workers. The nominee's position in the company should provide ready access to the Executive Contact so as to au thoritatively reflect corporate views and also assure company backing in devoting a considerable por tion of time and associated company resources to committee activities. 3. Officer* 3.1 The officers of a committee will be a chair man and a vice chairman. 3.2 The officers will serve for a term of one year commencing June 1. 3.3 ChalrmM 3.3.1 The chairman will preside at meetings and exercise general supervision over affairs of the committee within the general framework of CMA policies. 3.3.2 The chairman will be responsible for full re porting at regular meetings of all committee activities not previously reported. 3.3.3 The chairman will familiarize the vice chair man with all the functions of the chairman in order to provide for proper and effective continuity in the chairman's absence. 3.3.4 With the concurrence of the committee, the chairman may establish task groups, define their purpose and scope, appoint their mem bership, and designate the chairman. 3.3.5 The chairman will designate from the mem bership of the committee liaison assignments to various CMA standing committees and task groups as necessary. 3.4 Vice Chklrman In the absence of the chairman, the vice chairman shall fulfill all the functions of the chairman. *As approved by the Executive Committee on July 111978 and amended by the Executive Committee June 3,1981 4. SecreUry/StaffExecutive 4.1 The secretary shall be the CMA staff execu tive assigned to the committee. 4.2 The staff executive shall exercise those au thorities and responsibilities prescribed by the "General Principles Applicable to the Structure and Operations of Committees." 4.3 The staff executive shall prepare and distrib ute notices of meetings, agenda, and min utes, and have custody of the official records of the committee. 5. Meeting* 5.1 Meetings of the committee will be held at the call of the chairman. 5.2 A majority of the committee members shall constitute a quorum at any meeting. 5.3 Thsk groups shall arrange separate meetings as justified by their assignment, subject to call by their respective chairmen and ad vance notice to the members from the staff executive, 5.4 The staff executive shall issue advance no tices for all meetings of the.committee and task groups, and no meeting may be held in the absence thereof. 5.5 It shall be the responsibility of the chairman of a task group to submit a timely request to the staff executive concerning any desired modifications of subparagraphs 4(c), (d), or (e) of the "General Principles Applicable to the Structure and Operations of Commit tees" under the provisions of subparagraph 4(g). 5.6 Actions shall be decided by a majority of members present. The presiding officer may vote to break a tie. The staff executive is not entitled to vote. 6. Th*lt Groups 6.1 Designations of task groups for special as signments, as to their membership, purpose, and scope shall be recorded in committee minutes. All task groups shall be reviewed annually by the committee. Unless recom mended for continuance by the committee and authorized by the President of the Association they terminate. 6.2 Committee membership is not a prerequisite to serving on task groups. 44 CMA 128969 6.3 The chairman and vice chairman shall be ex officio members of all task groups and shall be furnished notices of their meetings. They, together with the staff executive, shall be furnished copies of all reports and corre spondence pertaining to task group activities. 6.4 Task group chairmen shall be responsible for keeping their members informed regarding progress of activities and assigned tasks. 6.5 Thsk group chairmen shall furnish written reports to the committee chairman, vice chairman and staff executive in advance of each regular meeting of the committee concerning activities, plans and recommendations. 6.6 The term "task group" as used in these rules is defined to include any other committee sub-units. 7.

Legal Assistance. Requests for legal assistance shall be directed by the committee chairman or staff executive to the CMA General Counsel, Assistance of the General Counsel, staff counsel, or member company will normally be provided. Outside coun sel, if required, will be selected and supervised by the General Counsel and will be engaged only after approval by the President or Executive Committee. 9. Primary Requirement. These rules are designed to supplement CMA's "General Principles Applica ble to the Structure and Operations of Commit tees," originally approved March 12, 1963, as subse quently amended. Nothing in these rules shall be interpreted or applied in such manner as to conflict with that document. 45 CMA 128970 CHgMtCAl MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION ANTITRUST GUIDE FOR CMA COMMITTEE MEMBERS This is designed to be a layman's guide on how the anti trust laws apply to trade association activities, with par ticular reference to CMA committee work. It is written for both the guidance of those committee members who have no particular knowledge of this complicated sub ject, and to provide a useful reminder or "refresher course" for those who have had the benefit of antitrust advice from their own company counsel. The Chemical Manufacturers Association is a non profit industry association representing about 180 chemical producers. Like other industry associations, CMA is composed of member companies (many of whom are competitors of one another) representatives of which serve on its Board of Directors and on its committees. Whenever competitors meet together problems can arise under the antitrust laws. If the meeting or other activities among competitors is conducted by or through a trade association, it is just as vulnerable to antitrust attack as if the same companies were meeting or acting together without the medium of an association. Trade associations generally seek, quite properly, to promote understanding and cooperation among their members. But if this "cooperation" restrains competition, both the association and its members will be in trouble under the antitrust laws. Antitrust enforcement is being emphasized as never before. The number of criminal and civil antitrust actions is steadily increasing. Congress has greatly in creased both criminal and civil antitrust penalties, has made important procedural changes, and has substan tially increased the budgets for the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Com mission, the two agencies charged with antitrust en forcement. The courts are expanding the scope of anti trust prohibitions which may especially affect trade association activities, and such associations are more frequently becoming the objects of FTC and Antitrust Division investigations. In view of these developments, increased awareness of the applications of the antitrust laws to association activities is essential. Like most reputable trade associations. CMA has objectives and programs that are well within the law. It also makes every effort to prevent possible antitrust abuses from arising. But a large responsibility also rests upon its member companies --and particularly upon their individual representatives who serve on CMA com mittees, This means that committee members should know enough about this subject to be able, in their CMA work, to avoid actions or discussions that might raise antitrust questions. The main purpose of this guide is to help all committee members to recognize what is, or might become, an "antitrust question." Some actions or discussions by members of a trade associations are clearly illegal; many others are wholly legal and proper; and there is a sizeable "grey area" or danger zone in between. This grey area between legal and illegal association activity is often vague and uncer tain, and CMA's policy has always been to keep far away from the doubtful zones. The Association's aim is not only to avoid actual vi olations of the law -- it wants to prevent even any ap pearance of violation which might invite suspicion or in vestigation on the part of the enforcement authorities. To protect itself and its members in this respect, CMA has adopted and observes several basic policies. 1. It has well-defined, constructive objectives and programs which are designed to promote the overall in terest of the industry and the public. 2. Its organizational structure consists primarily of standing committees with specific and limited functional purposes: and activities concerned with pricing or mar keting chemical products are scrupulously avoided, and limitations are also imposed of the subject matter and duration of "ad hoc" committees dealing with specific chemical products or product segments. 3. It maintains various procedural safeguards par ticularly those set forth in the "General Principles Ap plicable to the Structure and Operation of Committees" which appears in the Association's annual Directory. 4. It retains counsel to help insure full observance of the above policies and procedures, and to provide guidance and protective advice as to all CMA operations from an antitrust standpoint. 46 CMA 128971 THE FEDERAL ANTITRUST LAWS Beginning in 1890, Congress has enacted a senes of statutes which are known collectively as the federal anti trust laws. These laws are designed to promote and pre serve our competitive private enterprise system by en couraging free and open competition in open markets. The federal antitrust laws give the force of law to the philosophy underlying our economic system, namely, that a free market in which supply and demand operate to determine the conditions and terms of production, distribution and sale, and where each seller and a buyer deals independently, serves to achieve the most equita ble allocation of high quality goods and services at the lowest possible prices. The central core of federal antitrust legislation is formed by the Sherman Act (1890) and the Clayton and Federal Trade Commission Acts (1914). Most states have also enacted antitrust laws similar to the federal statutes but no attempt is made to discuss them in this brief manual. Similarly, there is no discussion herein of other areas of federal antitrust law (such as the Robinson-Patman Act and many parts of the Clayton Act) which may bear directly on the activities of individual companies but are usually not involved in association activities. The primary focus here is on horizontal conduct "i.e.," involving relationships between competitors, rather than vertical relationships such as those between a com pany and its customers. Section 1 of the Sherman Act prohibits "contracts," "combinations'' or "conspiracies" in restraint of trade or commerce. These are terms of collective action or con duct by two or more persons, and they include agree ments and understandings of all kinds, whether written or oral, formal or informal, which unduly restrain com petition. Because of the collective nature of most trade associations' activities, this section is the principal weapon used by the Department of Justice in antitrust suits against trade associations or their members. Such suits are usually based upon an alleged conspiracy or agreement among competitors to restrain trade. (The Federal Trade Commission also can, and does, challenge trade association activity which is alleged to lessen com petition under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commis sion Act which prohibits "unfair methods of competition.") Although the language of the antitrust statutes is deliberately general in its coverage, prohibiting "(every) contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade" and "unfair methods of competition." the courts have defined a number of specific activities as inherently unlawful, the so-called "per se" offenses (see "Prohib ited Activities," infr.). The legality of other activities is determined by the "rule of reason," i.e., whether the ac tivity is ancillary to the achievement of a legitimate business objective and is no more restrictive of competi tion than necessary to achieve that objective. Although this necessarily involves difficult questions of interpreta tion, even here useful guidelines for antitrust compli ance have evolved from the courts' decisions. The im portance of obtaining legal counsel in any area of uncertainty cannot be overemphasized, for the sanctions imposed for violations of the antitrust laws are severe. ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT The federal antitrust laws are enforced by the Depart ment of Justice (Antitrust Division) and the Federal Trade Commission and frequently provide the basis for suits by private parties. All of the following penalties can be imposed for vi olations of antitrust laws. 1. IMPRISONMENT. Violations which are crimi nal offenses, including most prohibited collusive activ ities, are felonies. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which became effective in November, 1987, establish a minimum jail term of 4 to 10 months for first offenders. In addition, the minimum recommended sentence under the Guidelines is increased as the volume of commerce in question increases. For example, if the offense in volved a volume of commerce greater than $50,000,000, the minimum sentence would be increased to 10 to 16 months. Prison sentences are increasingly common, and convicted felons may be denied citizenship, voting and other privileges. 2. FINES. Minimum fines of $20,000 for individ uals, and $100,000 for corporations, are required under the Sentencing Guidelines. However, the permissible range of fines for an individual is 4 to 10 percent of the volume of commerce; the range for an organization is from 20 to 50 percent of the volume of commerce af fected. Assuming a corporation is found to have violated the antitrust laws, affecting $50,000,000 of commerce, the permissible fine would range from $10,000,000 to $25,000,0001 An individual may not be reimbursed by his corporation for fines paid by him and fines are not deductible for income tax purposes. 47 CMA 128972 3. INJUNCTIVE COURT AND FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ORDERS. Orders (injunc tions) which prohibit future violations or activities can be imposed as a result of civil action brought by the De partment of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, or private parties, with far-reaching consequences. Such injunctions may contain sweeping prohibitions which go well beyond the scope of the violations charged and pro hibit conduct which is not itself considered contrary to the antitrust laws. Such orders can seriously limit free dom of corporate or association action, require burden some and time consuming reporting obligations, cause day-to-day activities to be supervised by a court or agency, and even require dissolution of a trade associa tion. Violation of an injunctive order issued by a court can result in contempt proceedings with attendant fines, while failure to comply with an injunction ("cease and desist order") issued by the Federal Trade Commission carries penalties of up to $10,000 for each day the noncompliance continues. 4. TREBLE DAMAGES- A sanction which has been applied with increasing frequency as private anti trust suits have rapidly increased in recent years is the "treble damage" provision of the antitrust laws which al lows persons or businesses injured by an antitrust viola tion to recover three times the amount of actual dam ages sustained. Such cases have resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars of damages being paid to private liti gants. Thus, an antitrust violation could impair the fi nancial resources of any corporation and significantly weaken its competitive position. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES As noted above, many antitrust violations -- and partic ularly those involving trade associations -- result from concerted or collusive activity, that is, from an "agree ment" between or among competitors which result in a restraint of trade. An illegal agreement may be proved in a number of ways. It need not be written, and seldom is. Rather, the term "agreement" in antitrust parlance may mean no more than knowing adherence to or a partici pation in a common scheme. Explicit promises, commit ments, or assurances are not necessary to establish a vi olation, nor must the parties actually carry out the agreement. (This definition of "agreement" is assumed throughout). Convictions for collusive activities can be based on a series of seemingly isolated facts which have been linked to present a chain of circumstantial evidence from which an agreement or conspiracy -- a meeting of the minds -- can be inferred; for example, identical price in creases by competitors following shortly after a trade as sociation meeting at which "business conditions" and the need of the industry for higher prices were dis cussed. For this reason it is important when participat ing in CMA committee work or other association activ ities, which involve contact with other members of the industry, to avoid doing or saying anything which might even give an appearance of agreement with others in areas which may involve a lessening of competition, (a) Agreement* Involving Prices. Pricing is the most sensitive subject under the antitrust laws. "Price" in this context includes all the elements of the terms of sale: sales prices, discounts, allowances, freight, credit terms, container deposits, and all other services or con ditions integrally related to a sale. Any agreement be tween competitors which fixes, stabilizes, maintains, bol sters, depresses, or tampers in any way with price is unlawful "per se," that is, the activity is indefensible and illegal without further analysis of its reasonableness, good intentions, arguable benefits to the public, or ex tenuating circumstances. In short there is no defense. "Price-fixing" encompasses not only agreements with competitors on a selling price. It may also include, for example, agreement to buy up surplus goods, to ad here to a formula (or determining prices, to standardize discounts, to control raw material prices, and any other agreement which has the net result of affecting the price structure of a given product. Moreover, it is just as un lawful for competitors to agree on the prices at which they will offer to buy from their suppliers, as on those at which they sell. As previously noted, an agreement can be shown in a number of ways. Thus, even the mere ex change of price lists between competitors serves as evi dence of an illegal price-fixing agreement. The essential rule is that each seller must deter mine on its own the prices at which it purchases and sells. To avoid inferences of agreement or collusion -- and there can be no exceptions -- CMA members must 48 CMA 128973 not engage in any direct or indirect discussions with any competitors regarding prices, pricing policies, or any other marketing policy which may affect pricing. The following are a few examples of activities which have been found by courts to constitute evidence of illegal price-fixing. 1. Some supermarket executives were held to have violated the Sherman Act on the basis of evidence which included a trade association meeting where one partici pant made remarks to the general effect that it was time to stop passing lower wholesale meat prices on to the consumers and keep some or it for themselves. After viewing this and other evidence in light of the article pricing practices, the court upheld a jury verdict that the attendees at the trade association meeting had en gaged in an illegal conspiracy to keep wholesale prices low and retail prices high. (The jury awarded plaintiffs a verdict for over 32 million dollars, plus the plaintiffs' at torneys' fees.) 2. In another case, the sales manager of the leading company in a market invited the sales managers of the other major companies in the market to a meeting at which he described a proposal for reclassifying distribu tors and changing discount schedules. No one present openly agreed to reclassify his distributors and change his discount schedules. Subsequent to the meeting, however, the leading company instituted the changes proposed at the meeting and the other companies, one by one, adopted the same distributor classifications and discount schedules. All of the companies and their sales managers were convicted of engaging in an unlawful conspiracy. The fact that all of the individual defendants were at the meeting, heard the discussion, and subse quently reclassified their distributors and changed their discount schedules, supported a jury finding that they had unlawfully conspired to fix prices. 3. Sales officials of corrugated cardboard box man ufacturers in the Southeast followed a practice of occa sionally calling each other to determine quotes given on specific and current sales to identified customers. The Supreme Court held the practice illegal because it had the effect of stabilizing prices (i.e., it tended to limit price reductions and the range of price changes). The decision was reached in spite of an express finding that the calls did not result in an actual agreement on prices. Rather, each defendant, on receiving a request for pric ing information, usually furnished the data with the ex pectation that reciprocal information would be fur nished to him. This simple exchange of information was held to establish an unlawful combination conspiracy under the Sherman Act. (b) Agreement* to Control Production or Sole*. Competitors may not agree to limit or control production or sales. Any limitations on output by direct or indirect agreement are illegal per se and cannot be justified, even where the purpose is to preserve the in dustry or conserve natural resources. (c) Division of Territorie* and Allocation of Customers. Any agreement between competitors to di vide or allocate either sales territories or customers is unlawful per se. Exchanges of information with compet itors relating to customers or territories can create the appearance such collusion or agreement and must be strictly avoided. (d) Refusals to Deal. Any agreement among com petitors which results in a refusal to deal with suppliers or other competitors -- for example, a blacklist or boy cott -- is illegal per se. For this reason exchanges of in formation (e.g. credit information) concerning particu lar customers which might lead to parallel decisions not to deal should be avoided. Application of Antitrust Laws to Trade Association Activities The valuable and proper activities of CMA and its com mittees can be accomplished effectively if participating members are alert to the prohibited types of behavior described above and react quickly when danger signals appear. Obviously, CMA activities should be conducted in such a way as to avoid any possible inference of agree ment among its members with respect to prices, control ling production or sales, division of territories, or re fusals to deal in any form whatsoever. Further guidelines are given here to highlight potential danger zones to be avoided. When a danger zone appears, counsel should be consulted for specific guidance. In reviewing the following guidelines there are a few general points you should bear in mind: 1. As indicated above, an otherwise lawful act may become unlawful if done for an improper purpose, or if it is part of a larger standardization 49 CMA 128974 program might be justifiable considered by itself, but not if it is combined with other activities to facilitate the fixing of uniform prices. In other words, the courts may look at the cumulative ef fect of several activities -- not at each one separately, 2. Good motives are not an excuse for doing things that are otherwise unlawful, either be cause they fall within one of the "per se" catego ries discussed previously or because they are more restrictive of competition than necessary to accomplish their legitimate objectives. Thus even though a product standardization program may be intended to increase competition by providing consumers with important information, it may nevertheless be found unlawful if conducted in a manner more restrictive than necessary to achieve its legitimate purpose. 3. An ostensibly lawful program or activity runs a greater risk of getting into vulnerable areas if conducted by a group of competitors mak ing the same product. That is the main reason why CMA operates primarily through functional committees, and imposes limitations on the sub ject matter and duration of any "ad hoc" commit tees dealing with matters concerning a specific chemical product or product segment. 4. As a member of a CMA committtee, you and your company can be held responsible for any improper acts that may occur which you know about (or should know about), and if you fail to protest or disassociate yourself from them. Participation in CMA Committee Meeting* All meetings of CMA committees must be conducted in strict compliance with the procedures set out in the "General Principles Applicable to the Structure and Op erations of Committees."* These General Principles pro vide for agendas, attendance of staff representatives, and for the keeping of accurate and complete minutes -- ail of which are designed to avoid antitrust risks. If you participate in a CMA task group meeting held without a staff member being present (pursuant to the special circumstances set for in subparagraph 4(g) of the General Principles), be sure that the meeting com plies with the requirements of that subparagraph 4(g) including an "accurate and complete written report. .. as to everything occurring at such meeting." Notet The attitude of enforcement personnel will be governed by what committee or task group members actually do, not by what is said in reports or minutes that may be incomplete or inaccurate. CMA committee members participating in activities involving advocacy before governmental entities should be familiar with and carefully observe the guidelines set out in the memorandum "General Principles and Guide lines for MCA Advocacy" dated May 14,1975. In general, advocacy should be conducted in lawful ways and di rected solely at efforts to influence that policy. It should not be used as a sham or as a means to affect competi tion directly and independently of what would be the effect of the government policy which is sought to be influenced. While committee agendas will have been cleared in advance with CMA counsel, it is the obligation of all committee members to make sure that their own partici pation in committee meetings will not give rise to even an inference of antitrust wrongdoing. Thus, even when carrying out approved and legitimate activities members must be careful to avoid discussions or exchanges of in formation with their competitors on any subject relating to the "per se" restraints listed above since such discus sions or information exchanges may give rise to infer ences of agreement. As examples, you should avoid any discussion with competitors of the following: (a) Individual company prices, price changes, price differentials, mark-ups. discounts, allowances, credit terms, etc. (b) Individual company figures on costs, produc tion. capacity, inventories, sales, etc. (c) Industry pricing policies, price levels, price changes, differentials, etc. * As approved by the Board ofDirectors on March 12,1963, and amended by the Executive Committee on March 19, 1971; July 11,1978. and June 3, 1.981. 50 CMA 128975 (d) Changes in Industry production, capacity, or inventories. (e) Transportation rates or rate policies of individ ual shipments or particular products, including basing point systems, zone prices, freight equal ization, etc. Note; This was an alleged factor in the 1962 FTC charges against MCA (now CMA) in the TSP (trisodium phosphate) case. MCA denied the charges, but joined the producers in signing a consent order prohibiting the practices charged. Standardization of TSP containers was another principal factor in the TSP case; these charges pertained to an activity in 1939-1940 which has long since been abandoned. MCA denied that this activ ity was illegal, but joined the respondent TSP producers in signing a consent order prohibiting the various prac tices charged, in order to avoid costly and time consum ing litigation. (ft Bids on contracts for particular products: pro cedures for responding to bid invitations. (g) Plans of individual companies concerning the design, production, distribution or marketing of particular products, including proposed territo ries or customers. (h) Matters relating to individual suppliers or cus tomers that might have the effect of excluding them from any market. (i) Any matter relating to TSP as a specific product. Regardless of subject matter, you should not attend or tolerate any meeting with your competitors in con nection with CMA business which has no agenda, or which is concerned with matters outside your commit tee's terms of reference, or which otherwise fails to con form with the procedures in the General Principles. Informal Gathering* It is important to avoid discussions of the above sub jects, not only at formal CMA or committee meetings, but also in connection with social or other gatherings on those occasions. If any improper discussion should start in your presence, you should protest; if the discus sion continues, you should promptly excuse yourself from the group and communicate your protest to the ap propriate CMA staff manager. Even if you do not take part in any improper discussion, your presence without participation could still get you and your company into trouble. Any individuals who participate in such im proper discussions, whether deliberately or innocently, are doing their companies, and CMA, a real disservice, and subjecting themselves to possible liability. In case of doubt as to whether a particular subject may properly be discussed with your competitors, you should consult your own company counsel. Document* Care must be taken to avoid wording any written docu ments including reports or notes from committee meet ings in a way that might be interpreted as indicating, contrary to fact, the existence of an antitrust violation. Every memorandum, letter or other document dealing with prices, competition, or the other danger areas spe cified in this guide should be written with the assump tion that it will one day be examined for antitrust impli cations. An antitrust case may be based on documents which are in reality innocent or innocuous but have been written in such a way as to create suspicion and re quire explanation. Such documents may include per sonal notes based on recollection, or taken at committee or other meetings, which record personal impressions rather than the facts of what transpired. Conclusion It is hoped that this guide will help you to understand how the antitrust laws bear upon trade association ac tivities, and to carry out your CMA work in full compli ance with these laws and with CMA policies. Again, please remember that this is a limited outline and is not intended to be a complete description of the application of the antitrust laws. For answers to specific problems, you should consult CMA counsel and your own com pany counsel. CMA 128976 or CHFMtCAJ. MANUFACTURERS association OBLIGATIONS AND PROCEDURE FOR MEMBER DISSENT* The strength of an effective association in an advocacy role is its ability to identify issues of common concern to its members and to reach agreement on collective policy. When that agreement is reached, the Association can then strongly advocate a unified industry position. While the Association's objective is `o strive for con sensus on every issue, CMA recogiUz.es that there may be cases, following the constructive sharing of diverse opinions, when individual members may ultimately choose to dissent from a CMA position. If a member company intends to advocate publicly a position on an issue which it believes is not consistent with an existing CMA position, the company should first inform the Association, by letter to the President, stat ing the basis for its disagreement, and give the Associa tion a reasonable length of time to respond before pre senting its position to others outside the Association. Before external dissent takes place, thorough internal discussion should be conducted either to resolve or con firm identified differences. The Association has the re sponsibility of expeditiously reweighing its original posi tion to determine whether it should be modified. To aid this internal review, members who initiate this process of dissent should inform the Association of any parties to whom they have expressed a contrary position and what the nature of the dialogue was so that this infor mation can be utilized in the process of reevaluating the Association's position. If the identified differences are not resolved, the As sociation recognizes the right of the member company to publicly pursue its own position. When presenting its position to others, the dissenting member company should make clear that it speaks for itself and not for the Association and the industry. Anyone can express to others outside the Association a CMA position, but only one designated by the Board or the President can repre sent that he speaks on behalf of CMA. Similar procedures should be followed in those cases where the Association does not have an existing position on an issue, but has begun the process of deve loping such a position. In those instances, the member company should inform the Association, by letter to the President, of its intent to present that position to others. If possible, the member company should defer present ing its position to others until CMA has had a reason able opportunity to review the company's position, identify any potential areas of significant concern and at tempt to reach an agreement on a CMA position. The Association recognizes that in some cases the time for CMA review and action will be very limited. In the ab sence of a CMA position on an issue, a member company presenting its position to others should make it clear that it is speaking for itself and not the Association.

To be beneficial, advocacy must be persuasive. Solid evidence and reasoned interpretation coupled with effective presentation are needed. Enlightened and progressive advocacy is directed to the common good rather than being merely self serving. Bearing in mind the pervasive significance of chemicals, it is vital that CMA advocacy so qualify. Advocacy on behalf of a collective industrial group must heed antitrust limitations. For this reason and be cause of the fact that certain chemicals compete with others in the marketplace for similar purposes, CMA normally limits its advocacy to matters having general applicability, as contrasted with those involving particu lar chemical substances or companies. If an important precedent-setting principle is involved, however, CMA may elect to advocate it regarding the principle alone. The foregoing precepts underlie CMA's advocacy role. Each member company should recognize this in no way diminishes its responsibility to protect its own inter ests, nor is intended to restrict independence in so do ing. Each member company is encouraged to express its individual views. `As approved by the Executive Committee on July 11,1978. 53 CMA 128978 manufacturers ASSOCIATION NOTES CMA 128979 4 CHI'MICAL MANUrACfUHLHS ASSOCIA1IQM 2501 M Street.
