sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Crown and Constar, for themselves and their successors and assigns, and intending to be legally bound hereby, hereby agree as follows:

otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Corporate Agreement, dated November 20, 2002, between Crown and Constar.



1.2 Representations.



Each of Crown and Constar represents and warrants to the other that:

(b) its execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement has been duly
authorized by all requisite corporate action on its behalf; and

ARTICLE II

SERVICES



2.1. Services.



(a) During the term of this Agreement, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Crown agrees to provide or cause the other Crown Entities to provide to Constar and the other Constar Entities, as applicable, the services described in Exhibit A hereto (the Services).
Exhibit A is hereby incorporated by reference herein and forms part of this Agreement.



(b) Except as provided herein, the level, quality and timeliness of the Services shall be provided in a manner substantially equivalent to that performed
by Crown or the applicable Crown Entity for the Constar Entities prior to the date of execution of this Agreement.



(c) Crown and Constar have made a good faith effort as of the date hereof to identify each Service and to complete the content of Exhibit A
accurately. To the extent that Exhibit A is incomplete, Crown and Constar will use good faith efforts to modify Exhibit A. There are certain terms that are specifically addressed in Exhibit A that may differ from the terms
provided herein. In those cases, the specific terms described in Exhibit A shall govern those Services. Crown may reasonably supplement, modify, substitute or otherwise alter the Services from time to time in a manner consistent with
supplements, modifications, substitutions or alterations made with respect to similar services provided or otherwise made available by Crown to its other business units; provided, that such supplements, modifications, substitutions or
alterations do not prevent Constar from realizing substantially the same intended benefits of such Services. Crown shall not be obligated under this Agreement to provide software or any licensed property rights to Constar if prohibited or available
only at additional cost under licensing agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Crown may outsource any or all of the Services during the Term. In the event Crown outsources Services, in lieu of amounts otherwise due hereunder
for such Services, Constar shall pay to Crown the actual cost of such Services. If the cost of such outsourced Services is higher than the cost of such Services when provided by Crown without outsourcing, then, prior to outsourcing, Crown shall
provide Constar one-hundred and twenty (120) days notice. Prior to the expiration of the one-hundred and twenty (120) days notice period, Constar may elect not to accept such higher cost outsourced Services in which event Constar will pay the rates
set forth in Exhibit A for the balance of the 120-day period and at the end of such period Crown shall have no obligation to provide such Services to Constar.



(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.1, neither of Crown nor any of the other Crown Entities makes any representation or warranty
whatsoever, express or implied, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose arising out of the Services described in Exhibit A. In furtherance of the foregoing,
none of the Crown Entities shall have any liability for any defects in the Services provided hereunder.



2.2. Fees; Payment. (a) In consideration for the performance of each of the Services, Constar shall pay to Crown the amount for each of the
Services set forth on Exhibit A as amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. Any federal, state, local or foreign income taxes, charges, fees, imposts, levies, contributions



2



---

or other assessments assessed on the provision of each of the Services shall be paid by Constar (all such
charges, plus the amounts described in the preceding sentence, the Fee).



(b) Within ten (10) days of the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, Crown shall invoice Constar for all Services performed by the Crown Entities during such month in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, unless otherwise provided on Exhibit A. Constar shall pay the Fee for the Services delivered during the prior month pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the invoice for such Services has been provided by Crown
in accordance with this Section 2.2(b).



(c) The Fees are only
applicable to the Services provided until December 31, 2004.



2.3. Additional Services. Crown and Constar may from time to time identify additional Services that they wish to incorporate into this Agreement. In such event, Crown and Constar will add items to Exhibit A setting forth
mutually agreeable descriptions of such additional Services, Fees for such Services and any other applicable terms with respect to such Services. If Crown and Constar cannot mutually agree upon such additional items, such additional Services will
not become part of Exhibit A of this Agreement and Crown will have no obligation to provide such additional Services.



2.4. Independent Contractor. Neither party is now, nor shall it be made by this Agreement, an agent or legal representative of the other party for
any purpose, and neither party has any right or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party, to accept any service of process upon it, or to receive any notices of any kind on its behalf. All activities by
any of the Crown Entities hereunder shall be carried on by such Crown Entity as an independent contractor and not as an agent for Constar or any other Constar Entity.



2.5. Representatives. Crown and Constar will each appoint a representative (each, a
Representative) to facilitate communications and performance under this Agreement. Each party may treat an act of a Representative of the other party as being authorized by such other party. The initial Representatives are Torsten
J. Kreider with respect to Crown and James C. Cook with respect to Constar. Each party may replace its Representative at any time for any reason by giving prior written notice of the replacement to the other party.



ARTICLE III

COOPERATION



3.1. Cooperation. The parties will use good faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. Such good faith cooperation will include using commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain all consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit each party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated in whole or in part, the parties will cooperate with each other in all
reasonable respects in order to effect an efficient transition and to minimize the disruption to the business of both parties, including the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any contracts.

ARTICLE IV

TERM AND TERMINATION



4.1.
Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence January 1, 2004 and shall continue in effect until December 31, 2004, unless this Agreement terminated pursuant to Section 4.3. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 4.1, the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the rights and obligations of the parties under Section 4.1, Articles V and VI, and Sections 7.8 and 7.9 hereof, which shall survive such expiration or
termination without limitation. Upon such expiration or termination, Crown shall cease to have any obligation to provide any Services, and each party will promptly deliver to the other all data, programs, software materials, and other properties
owned by the other and held by it in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Each party will assist the other at such other partys reasonable request in effecting the orderly termination of this Agreement.



4.2. Non-Exclusivity. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the
Constar Entities from obtaining the Services, in whole or in part, from their own employees or from providers other than the Crown Entities at any time. On 120 days advance notice to Crown, Constar may terminate this Agreement as to any Service or
portion of such Service. Following any such termination, Crown will be under no obligation to provide any such terminated Service, and Constar will no longer be liable for the associated Fees set forth in Exhibit A with respect to such terminated
Service.



4.3. Events of Default.



(a) The following shall be considered events of default and shall give rise
to a right of Crown to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of Crowns discovery of such event of default: (i) Constar fails to make timely payments for invoiced Services, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice of such breach or (ii)
Constar materially breaches any other applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach. If Constar or Constar, Inc. suffers a Bankruptcy Event, Crown shall have the right to unilaterally make
reasonable modifications to the payment terms set forth in Section 2.2(b) of the Agreement at any time after such Bankruptcy Event. Crown shall promptly notify Constar of any such modifications to the payment terms of this Agreement. If Constar or
Crown experiences a change of Control such that Constar or Crown is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown, Crown shall have the right, at its option, to renegotiate the Fees set forth in Exhibit A. If Crown elects to renegotiate such
Fees after such change of Control, Crown and Constar shall negotiate such Fees in good faith. If Fees are not mutually agreed upon within 45 days (the Negotiation Period) of such change of Control, the change of Control shall be
considered an event of default and Crown shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of the expiration of the Negotiation Period (provided that such termination shall not be effective until three months from the date that Constar
receives notice of such termination).



(b) The following shall
be considered events of default and shall give rise to a right of Constar to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of Constars discovery of such event of default: (i) Crown materially breaches any applicable provision of this Agreement,
subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (ii) Constar or Crown experiences a change of Control such that Constar or Crown is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown (provided that such termination shall not
be effective until six months from the date of the change of Control).



4



---

(c) Each party shall provide the other party with prompt notice upon discovery of a default by the other
party; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not limit or restrict the ability of a party to terminate this Agreement subject to the cure periods provided in this Section 4.3.



(d) For purposes of this Section 4.3, Bankruptcy Event
means with respect to either Constar or Constar, Inc., as applicable, (i) the making by such party of any assignment for the benefit of creditors of all or substantially all of its assets or the admission by such party in writing of its inability to
pay all or substantially all of its debts as they become due; (ii) the adjudication of such party as bankrupt or insolvent or the filing by such party of a petition or application to any tribunal for the appointment of a trustee or receiver for such
party or any substantial part of the assets of such party; or (iii) the commencement of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings (and, with respect to involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, the failure to be discharged within 60 days),
reorganization proceedings or similar proceeding with respect to such party or the entry of an order appointing a trustee or receiver or approving a petition in any such proceeding.



ARTICLE V

NONDISCLOSURE/CONFIDENTIALITY



5.1.
Confidentiality. The parties agree (a) to maintain all information, whether in written, oral, electronic or other form, necessary for the provision or receipt of the Services or utilized or received in the course of or in relation to the
provision or receipt of the Services, as the case may be, including, without limitation, know-how, material, manufacturing, tooling and equipment specifications and other information necessary or connected to the provision or receipt of Services, as
the case may be (the Confidential Information), as secret and confidential, (b) that all such Confidential Information shall be used only for purposes of the provision or receipt of Services hereunder and for no other purpose
whatsoever, and (c) not to disclose the Confidential Information to any third person or party (except for employees, counsel, consultants or assignees who have a need to know and are informed of the confidential nature of such information by the
disclosing party). Each party shall accept responsibility and be liable for any disclosure by any third person of any Confidential Information disclosed to such third person by such party. The parties will use the same measures to maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information of any other party in its possession or control that it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of similar type and importance. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either party or their Affiliates may describe this Agreement in, and include this Agreement with, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any related prospectuses, including such filings or prospectuses in connection with any
offering of securities. Confidential Information will not include information that (i) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement, or (ii) the receiving party lawfully receives from a third party without restriction on
disclosure and, to the receiving partys knowledge, without breach of a nondisclosure obligation.



5.2. Disclosure to Governmental Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be permitted to disclose the Confidential Information
and/or any portion thereof (i) to a



5



---

governmental agency or authority as required in response to a subpoena therefor, (ii) in connection with formal requests
for discovery under applicable rules of civil procedure in a legal action before a court of competent jurisdiction to which such party is a party, and (iii) as otherwise required by law; provided, however, that, in any such case, each
party shall notify the other party as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow such party to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information at the expense of such party.



5.3. Ownership of Information. All Confidential Information supplied
or developed by either party will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the party who supplied or developed it.



5.4. Return of Confidential Information. Upon the written request of a party which has disclosed information covered by this Article V in written,
printed or other tangible form, all such readily available information and all copies thereof, including samples or materials, and all notes or other materials derived from such information shall be returned to the party which disclosed such
information.



5.5. Right of Setoff. Constar and Crown
shall waive all rights of setoff and recoupment either may have against the other or any of the others Affiliates with respect to all amounts which may be owed from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.



ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY



6.1. Limitation of Liability. Neither Crown nor any of the Crown Entities nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, successors or permitted assigns shall be liable to anyone for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.



6.2. Indemnification.



(a) Subject to Section 6.3, Crown shall defend, indemnify and hold each Constar Indemnitee harmless against any and all Liabilities incurred or suffered
by any Constar Indemnitee caused by or arising in connection with the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Crown or any employee of any Constar Entity in connection with the performance of the Services, except to the extent that
Liabilities were caused directly or indirectly by acts or omissions of any Constar Indemnitee.



(b) Subject to Section 6.3, Constar shall defend, indemnify and hold each Crown Indemnitee harmless against any and all Liabilities incurred or suffered by any Crown Indemnitee caused by or arising in connection with
the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Constar Entity or any employee of any Crown Entity in connection with Constars performance under this Agreement, except to the extent that Liabilities were caused directly or
indirectly by acts or omissions of any Crown Indemnitee.



6.3.
Limitations.



(a) Any indemnification pursuant to
Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) shall be



6



---

paid net of any tax benefit to the Indemnified Party attributable to the relevant payment. It is expressly agreed that no
insurer or any other third party shall be (a) entitled to a benefit (as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise) that it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b), (b) relieved of the responsibility to pay
any claims to which it is obligated or (c) entitled to any subrogation rights with respect to any obligation under Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b).



(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b), neither party shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages
relating to claims of the other party or any third party.



6.4.
Notice and Payment of Claims. If any Crown Indemnitee or Constar Indemnitee (the Indemnified Party) determines that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by any party (the Indemnifying Party) under
Article VI of this Agreement (other than in connection with any Action subject to Section 6.5), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim
for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. Within 30 days after receipt of that notice, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party that amount in cash or other
immediately available funds unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim for indemnification or the amount of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to that indemnity claim and setting
forth the grounds for the objection(s) within that 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for that claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under applicable law to
collect that amount. If there is a timely objection by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount, if any, that is Finally Determined to be required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party in
respect of that indemnity claim within 15 days after that indemnity claim has been so Finally Determined.



6.5. Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims. Promptly after the earlier of receipt of (a) notice that a third party has commenced an action
against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought under Article VI of this
Agreement (a Third-Party Claim), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of the Third-Party Claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.5 shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the failure to give notice. Within 30 days after receipt of that notice, the Indemnifying Party may (i) at its
option, elect to assume and control the defense of that Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense by giving written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party, or (ii) object to the claim for indemnification set forth in the notice
delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.5; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party does not within that 30-day period give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to that indemnification
claim and setting forth the grounds for the objection(s), the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for that indemnification claim. If the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the
Indemnified Party and elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (x) the defense shall be conducted by counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the



7



---

Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in those proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own
choosing at the Indemnified Partys sole cost and expense; and (y) the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party so long as any settlement or compromise of the
Third-Party Claim includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all claims that are the subject of that Third-Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such settlement or compromise pursuant to
which any remedy or relief, other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible under this Agreement, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim for which it has acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will act in good
faith with respect to that Third-Party Claim and may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
investigating and defending against that Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect to that claim by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement or compromise of any Third-Party Claim effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount, if any, for which the Indemnified Party
is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement within 15 days after that Third-Party Claim has been Finally Determined.



6.6. Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 6.2 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party, or insufficient to
hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by that Indemnified Party as a result of those Liabilities in that proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on
the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with those statements or omissions, which relative fault shall be determined by reference to the Crown Entity or Constar Entity to which those actions, conduct, statements or
omissions are primarily related, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.



ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS



7.1. Force Majeure. Neither Supplier nor Purchaser shall be responsible for any failure or delay in performance due
to causes beyond their respective control, including, without limitation, earthquake, fire, storm, flood, freeze, labor disputes, transportation embargoes, acts of God or of any government and acts of war or terrorism (any of the foregoing, a
Force Majeure Event). In the event such a curtailment by Crown continues in whole or in part for 48 hours, then Constar may arrange for temporary provision of the Services and may withhold a pro rata portion of the
Fee applicable to any such unprovided Service until Crown can resume provision of the Services to Constar. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this provision shall not apply to or otherwise excuse the failure to pay any
uncontested costs or fees due under this Agreement when due.



7.2. Subsidiaries. Crown agrees and acknowledges that Crown shall be responsible for the performance by each Crown Entity of the obligations hereunder applicable to such Crown Entity. Constar agrees and acknowledges that Constar
shall be responsible for the performance by each Constar Entity of the obligations hereunder applicable to such Constar Entity.

instrument duly executed by the parties hereto. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of
any person under or by reason of this Agreement.



7.4.
Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or
the application of any such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law. If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be
valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction.



7.5. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be deemed duly given upon actual
receipt, and shall be delivered (a) in person, (b) by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (c) by facsimile or other generally accepted means of electronic transmission (provided that a copy of any notice

entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.



(e) Resolution of disputes under the procedures of this Section 7.9 shall be the sole and exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall

7.10. Consent to Jurisdiction. Crown and Constar hereby agree and
consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and in the absence of such Federal jurisdiction, the parties consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any
