(2) The values are based on the difference between the price of the Company's Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the close of trading on December 31, 2000 of $2.437 per share and the exercise price of such option. The actual value realized by a named 8 executive officer on the exercise of these options depends on the market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise.

The Board of Directors has adopted an LSB Industries, Inc., Employee Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") for the employees (including executive officers) of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding certain (but not all) employees covered under union agreements. The 401(k) Plan is an employee contribution plan, and the Company and its subsidiaries make no contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The amount that an employee may contribute to the 401(k) Plan equals a certain percentage of the employee's compensation, with the percentage based on the employee's income and certain other criteria as required under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company or subsidiary deducts the amounts contributed to the 401(k) Plan from the employee's compensation each pay period, in accordance with the employee's instructions, and pays the amount into the 401(k) Plan for the employee's benefit. The Summary Compensation Table set forth above includes any amount contributed and deferred during the 1998, 1999, and 2000 fiscal years pursuant to the 401(k) Plan by the named executive officers of the Company. The Company has a death benefit plan for certain key employees. Under the plan, the designated beneficiary of an employee covered by the plan will receive a monthly benefit for a period of ten (10) years if the employee dies while in the employment of the Company or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The agreement with each employee provides, in addition to being subject to other terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, that the Company may terminate the agreement as to any employee at anytime prior to the employee's death. The Company has purchased life insurance on the life of each employee covered under the plan to provide, in large part, a source of funds for the Company's obligations under the Plan. The Company also will fund a portion of the benefits by investing the proceeds of such insurance policy received by the Company upon the employee's death. The Company is the owner and sole beneficiary of the insurance policy, with the proceeds payable to the Company upon the death of the employee. The following table sets forth the amounts of annual benefits payable to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table set forth above under the above-described death benefits plan. 9

In addition to the above-described plans, during 1991 the Company entered into a non-qualified arrangement with certain key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to provide compensation to such individuals in the event that they are employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company at age 65. Under the plan, the employee will be eligible to receive for the life of such employee, a designated benefit as set forth in the plan. In addition, if prior to attaining the age 65 the employee dies while in the employment of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, the designated beneficiary of the employee will receive a monthly benefit for a period of ten (10) years. The agreement with each employee provides, in addition to being subject to other terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, that the Company may terminate the agreement as to any employee at any time prior to the employee's death. The Company has purchased insurance on the life of each employee covered under the plan where the Company is the owner and sole beneficiary of the insurance policy, with the proceeds payable to the Company to provide a source of funds for the Company's obligations under the plan. The Company may also fund a portion of the benefits by investing the proceeds of such insurance policies. Under the terms of the plan, if the employee becomes disabled while in the employment of the Company or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the employee may request the Company to cash-in any life insurance on the life of such employee purchased to fund the Company's obligations under the plan. Jack E. Golsen does not participate in the plan. The following table sets forth the amounts of annual benefits payable to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table set forth above under such retirement plan.

Compensation of Directors. In 2000, the Company compensated eight non-employee directors in the amount of $4,500 each for their services. The non-employee directors of the Company also received $500 for every meeting of the Board of Directors attended during 2000. Messrs. Rhodes, Ille, Brown, and Shaffer, received an additional $20,000 each for their services on the Audit Committee in 2000.

In September, 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Outside Director Plan"). The Outside Director Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options to each member of the Company's Board of Directors who is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries. The maximum shares for which options may be issued under the Outside Director Plan will be 150,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the Outside Director Plan). The Company shall automatically grant to each outside director an option to acquire 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on April 30 following the end of each of the Company's fiscal years in which he Company realizes net income of $9.2 million or more for such fiscal year. The exercise price for an option granted under the Outside Director Plan shall be the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time the option is granted. Each option granted under the Outside Director Plan, to the extent not exercised, shall terminate upon the earlier of the termination of the outside director as a member of the Company's Board of Directors or the fifth anniversary of the date such option was granted. The Company did not grant options under the Outside Director Plan in April, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements. (a) Termination of Employment and Change in Control Agreements. The Company has entered into severance agreements with Jack E. Golsen, Barry H. Golsen, Tony M. Shelby, David R. Goss, David M. Shear, and certain other officers of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company. Each severance agreement provides (among other things) that if, within twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a change in control (as defined) of the Company, the Company terminates the officer's employment other than for cause (as defined), or the officer terminates his employment for good reason (as defined), the Company must pay the officer an amount equal to 2.9 times the officer's base amount (as defined). The phrase "base amount" means the average annual gross compensation paid by the Company to the officer and includable in the officer's gross income during the period consisting of the most recent five (5) year period immediately preceding the change in control. If the officer has been employed by the Company for less than 5 years, the base amount is calculated with respect to the most recent number of taxable years ending before the change in control that the officer worked for the Company. The severance agreements provide that a "change in control" means a change in control of the Company of a nature that would require the filing of a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in any event, would mean when: (1) any individual, firm, corporation, entity, or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as mended) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting 11 power of the Company's outstanding voting securities having the right to vote for the election of directors, except acquisitions by: (a) any person, firm, corporation, entity, or group which, as of the date of the severance agreement, has that ownership, or (b) Jack E. Golsen, his wife; his children and the spouses of his children; his estate; executor or administrator of any estate, guardian or custodian for Jack E. Golsen, his wife, his children, or the spouses of his children, any corporation, trust, partnership, or other entity of which Jack E. Golsen, his wife, children, or the spouses of his children own at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding beneficial voting or equity interests, directly or indirectly, either by any one or more of the above-described persons, entities, or estates; and certain affiliates and associates of any of the above-described persons, entities, or estates; (2) individuals who, as of the date of the severance agreement, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Incumbent Board") and who cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors except that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date of the severance agreement, whose election or nomination for election is approved by a majority of the Incumbent Board (with certain limited exceptions), will constitute a member of the Incumbent Board; or (3) the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets. Except for the severance agreement with Jack E. Golsen, the termination of an officer's employment with the Company "for cause" means termination because of: (a) the mental or physical disability from performing the officer's duties for a period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or one hundred eighty days (even though not consecutive) within a three hundred sixty (360) day period; (b) the conviction of a felony; (c) the embezzlement by the officer of Company assets resulting in substantial personal enrichment of the officer at the expense of the Company; or (d) the willful failure (when not mentally or physically disabled) to follow a direct written order from the Company's Board of Directors within the reasonable scope of the officer's duties performed during the sixty (60) day period prior to the change in control. The definition of "Cause" contained in the severance agreement with Jack E. Golsen means termination because of: (a) the conviction of Mr. Golsen of a felony involving moral turpitude after all appeals have been completed; or (b) if due to Mr. Golsen's serious, willful, gross misconduct or willful, gross neglect of his duties has resulted in material damages to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, provided that (i) no action or failure to act by Mr. Golsen will constitute a reason for termination if he believed, in good faith, that such action or failure to act was in the Company's or its subsidiaries' best interest, and (ii) failure of Mr. Golsen to perform his duties hereunder due to disability shall not be considered willful, gross misconduct or willful, gross negligence of his duties for any purpose. The termination of an officer's employment with the Company for "good reason" means termination because of (a) the assignment to the officer of duties inconsistent with the officer's position, authority, duties, or responsibilities 12 during the sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the change in control of the Company or any other action which results in the diminishment of those duties, position, authority, or responsibilities; (b) the relocation of the officer; (c) any purported termination by the Company of the officer's employment with the Company otherwise than as permitted by the severance agreement; or (d) in the event of a change in control of the Company, the failure of the successor or parent company to agree, in form and substance satisfactory to the officer, to assume (as to a successor) or guarantee (as to a parent) the severance agreement as if no change in control had occurred. Except for the severance agreement with Jack E. Golsen, each severance agreement runs until the earlier of: (a) three years after the date of the severance agreement, or (b) the officer's normal retirement date from the Company; however, beginning on the first anniversary of the severance agreement and on each annual anniversary thereafter, the term of the severance agreement automatically extends for an additional one-year period, unless the Company gives notice otherwise at least sixty (60) days prior to the anniversary date. The severance agreement with Jack E. Golsen is effective for a period of three (3) years from the date of the severance agreement; except that, commencing on the date one (1) year after the date of such severance agreement and on each annual anniversary thereafter, the term of such severance agreement shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three (3) years from such renewal date, unless the Company gives notices otherwise at least one (1) year prior to the renewal date. (b) Employment Agreement. In March 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Jack E. Golsen. The employment agreement requires the Company to employ Jack E. Golsen as an executive officer of the Company for an initial term of three (3) years and provides for two (2) automatic renewals of three (3) years each unless terminated by either party by the giving of written notice at least one (1) year prior to the end of the initial or first renewal period, whichever is applicable.

GPC (a wholly owned subsidiary of SBL) serves as the general partner of Mac Venture. The limited partners of Mac Venture include GPC and the three children of Jack E. Golsen.

In 1983, LSB Chemical Corp. ("LSB Chemical"), a subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding stock of El Dorado Chemical Company ("EDC") from its then four stockholders ("Ex-Stockholders"). A substantial portion of the purchase price consisted of an earnout based primarily on the annual after-tax earnings of EDC for a ten-year period. During 1989, two of the Ex-Stockholders received LSB Chemical promissory notes for a portion of their earnout, in lieu of cash, totaling approximately $896,000, payable $496,000 in January 1990, and $400,000 in May, 1994. LSB Chemical agreed to a buyout of the balance of the earnout from the four Ex-Stockholders for an aggregate purchase amount of $1,231,000. LSB Chemical purchased for cash the earnout from two of the Ex-Stockholders and issued multi-year promissory notes totaling $676,000 to the other two Ex- Stockholders. Jack E. Golsen guaranteed LSB Chemical's payment obligation under the promissory notes. The unpaid balance of these notes at March 31, 2001, was $400,000. On October 17, 1997, Prime Financial Corporation ("Prime"), a subsidiary of the Company, borrowed from SBL Corporation, a corporation wholly owned by the spouse and children of Jack E. Golsen, Chairman of the Board and President of the Company, the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Prime Loan") on an unsecured basis and payable on demand, with interest payable monthly in arrears at a fixed interest rate of 10.75% per annum. The purpose of 21 the loan was to assist the Company by providing additional liquidity. The Company has guaranteed the Prime Loan. In February 2000, the Company borrowed approximately $500,000 under its key man life insurance policies, and used such proceeds to reduce the principal amount due SBL. During all of 2000, $700,000 in principal and $221,000 in interest was paid on this Prime Loan, and as of March 31, 2000, the unpaid principal balance on the Prime Loan was $1,750,000. In April 2000, at the request of Prime and the Company, SBL agreed to modify the demand note to make such a term note with a maturity date no earlier than April 1, 2001, except under limited circumstances. In April 2001, this term note was amended to require repayment of $300,000 in 2001 and $1,450,000 in 2002. In order to make the Prime Loan to Prime, SBL and certain of its affiliates borrowed the $3,000,000 from a bank (collectively "SBL Borrowings"), and as part of the collateral pledged by SBL to the bank in connection with such loan, SBL pledged, among other things, its note from Prime. In order to obtain SBL's agreement as provided above, and for other reasons, effective April 21, 2000, a subsidiary of the Company guaranteed on a limited basis the obligations of SBL and its affiliates relating to the unpaid principal amount due to the bank in connection with the SBL Borrowings, and in order to secure its obligations under the guarantees pledged to the bank 1,973,461 shares of the Company's Common Stock that it holds as treasury stock. Under the limited guaranty, the Company's subsidiary's liability is limited to the value, from time to time, of the Common Stock of the Company pledged to secure its obligations under its guarantees to the bank relating to the SBL Borrowings. As of March 31, 2001, the outstanding principal balance due to the bank from SBL as a result of such loan was $1,800,000. PART IV ITEM 14.
