                              --------------------

         This  Consulting  Agreement (the  "Agreement") is made and entered into
this 25th day of September  2002 by and between  Altair  International  Inc., an
Ontario  corporation (the "Company"),  and Irvine Management  Consulting Inc., a
California  corporation  ("Consultant";   collectively  with  the  Company,  the
"Parties").

         In  consideration of the mutual promises made herein and for other good
and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt and  sufficiency  of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.  Purpose:  The  Company  hereby  engages  Consultant  for  the  term
specified in  Paragraph 2 hereto to render  corporate  advisory  services to the
Company upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         2. Term:  Nonexclusive Nature of Services; and Termination.  Subject to
earlier  termination  as provided  below,  the term of this  Agreement is twelve
months from the date hereof (the "Term").  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  this
Agreement may be terminated  with or without cause at any time by the Company or
Consultant  upon no fewer  than 48  hours  written  notice.  This  Agreement  is
non-exclusive on the part of both Parties.

         3. Duties of Consultant: During the term of this Agreement,  Consultant
shall,  upon the  request  of the  Company,  provide  the  Company  with  advice
regarding  strategic business planning,  potential  acquisitions by the Company,
corporate   finances  (other  than  capital  raising)  and  general   marketing.
Consultant  shall devote such time and effort to the  performance  of its duties
hereunder as it shall determine is reasonably necessary.  Consultant may look to
such others for such factual  information  and  research  upon which to base its
advice to the Company hereunder, as Consultant shall deem appropriate.

         4.  Compensation:   In  consideration  for  the  services  rendered  by
Consultant,  the Company  shall grant  Consultant  250,000  common shares of the
Company.  The common  shares of the Company are  hereinafter  referred to as the
"Securities."

         5. Expenses of Consultant: Consultant shall pay all of its own expenses
in connection with the services provided hereunder.

         6. Liability of  Consultant:  In furnishing the Company with advice and
other services as herein provided,  neither Consultant nor any officer, director
or agent of  Consultant  shall be liable to the  Company  or its  creditors  for
errors of judgment of  Consultant  in the  performance  of its duties under this
Agreement,  provided,  however, that Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the
Company harmless as provided in Section 8.

              (a) It is further  understood and agreed that  Consultant may rely
upon  information  furnished  to it by the  Company  and that,  except as herein
provided,  Consultant  shall not be  accountable  for any loss  suffered  by the
Company  by  reason of the  Company's  action  or  inaction  on the basis of any
advice,  recommendation  or approval of Consultant or its  respective  partners,
employees or agents.

              (b) The Company acknowledges that all opinions and advice (written
or oral) given by Consultant to the Company in connection  with this  engagement
are intended  solely for the benefit and use of the Company in  considering  the
transaction to which they relate, and the Company agrees that no person or

                                        1
<PAGE>

entity other than the Company  shall be entitled to make use of or rely upon the
advice of Consultant to be given hereunder,  and no such opinion or advice shall
be used for any other purpose or reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to
at any time,  in any manner or for any  purpose,  nor may the  Company  make any
public references to Consultant,  or use Consultant's name in any annual reports
or any other  reports or  releases  of the Company  without  Consultant's  prior
written  consent or as otherwise  required by law or judicial or  administrative
process.

         (c)  The  Company  acknowledges  that  Consultant  is not a  registered
broker/dealer  and  therefore,  Consultant  will not,  under any  circumstances,
perform any of the following services for the Company:

              (1) Make offers or sales of securities;

              (2) Prepare research reports;

              (3)  Directly or  indirectly  promote or maintain a market for the
                   Company's common shares;

              (4) Facilitate the offer or sale of securities or make a market in
                  any securities;

              (5) Negotiate for the offer or sale of securities; or

              (6) Any other  transaction  or  activity  requiring  broker/dealer
                  registration.

Consultant  covenants and agrees that it shall not, and is not being  compensate
for providing, any of the aforementioned services to the Company.

         (d) The Company further  recognizes and acknowledges that Consultant is
not a registered  investment advisor,  does not hold itself out as an investment
advisor, and, as of the date of this Agreement,  has no other clients to whom it
renders advisory services

         8.  Company Information:

         (a) The Company  shall  furnish to  Consultant  all data,  material and
other  information  relevant to the performance by Consultant of its obligations
under this Agreement, or particular projects as to which Consultant is acting as
advisor,  which will permit  Consultant to be appraised of all facts material to
the advice to be  rendered,  and all data,  material or  information  reasonably
requested by Consultant.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that in performing
its services under this engagement,  Consultant may rely upon the data, material
and other information  supplied by the Company without  independently  verifying
the  accuracy,  completeness  or veracity of same. In the event that the Company
fails or refuses to furnish any such data,  material or  information  reasonably
requested by Consultant,  and thus prevents or impedes Consultant's  performance
hereunder,  any  inability of Consultant to perform shall not be a breach of its
obligations hereunder.

         (b)  Except as  contemplated  by the terms  hereof  or as  required  by
applicable law,  Consultant shall keep  confidential all non-public  information
provided to it by the Company and shall not  disclose  such  information  to any
third party or use such information for the benefit of any person other than the
Company  without  the  Company's  prior  written  consent.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Consultant  shall not be required to maintain  confidentiality  with
respect to information  (i) which is or becomes part of the public domain;  (ii)
of which Consultant had independent  knowledge prior to disclosure;  (iii) which
comes into the possession of Consultant or its employees or agents in the normal
and  routine   course  of  its  own  business   from  and  through   independent
non-confidential sources; or (iv) which is required to be disclosed by

                                        2
<PAGE>

Consultant  pursuant to legal  process or in  accordance  with  governmental  or
regulatory  requirements.  If  Consultant  is  requested  or  required  (by oral
questions,  interrogatories,  requests for  information  or document  subpoenas,
civil  investigative  demands,  or similar process) to disclose any confidential
information   supplied  to  it  by  the  Company,  or  the  existence  of  other
negotiations   in  the  course  of  its   dealings   with  the  Company  or  its
representatives, Consultant shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly notify the
Company  of such  request(s)  so  that  the  Company  may  seek  an  appropriate
protective order.

         9.  Indemnification:

              (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless  Consultant,
(and the officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and controlling
persons of  Consultant)  from and against any and all losses,  claims,  damages,
liabilities,  costs and expenses (and all actions, suits,  proceedings or claims
in respect  thereof)  and any legal or other  expenses  in giving  testimony  or
furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including,  without
limitation,  the reasonable costs of  investigating,  preparing or defending any
such action,  suit,  proceeding or claim,  whether or not in connection with any
action,  suit,  proceeding or claim in which Consultant is a party), as and when
incurred, directly or indirectly,  caused by, relating to, based upon or arising
out of (a) any  information  provided  by the Company to  Consultant  under this
Agreement,  (b) the Company's  breach of any covenant or other provision in this
Agreement  or the  inaccuracy  of any  information  provided  by the  Company to
Consultant under this Agreement.

              (b)  Consultant  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
(and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and controlling
persons)  from and  against any and all losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities,
costs and expenses  (and all actions,  suits,  proceedings  or claims in respect
thereof)  and any legal or other  expenses  in giving  testimony  or  furnishing
documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including, without limitation,
the reasonable costs of  investigating,  preparing or defending any such action,
suit,  proceeding or claim,  whether or not in connection with any action, suit,
proceeding  or claim in which the  Company  is a party),  as and when  incurred,
directly or  indirectly,  caused by,  relating  to, based upon or arising out of
Consultant's  breach of any covenant or other provision in this Agreement or the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Consultant in this Agreement.

              (c) The obligations of the Parties under the Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

         10. Investment  Representations.  Consultant represents and warrants to
the Company as follows:

              (a) Authorization.  This Agreement constitutes  Consultant's valid
and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject
to  applicable  bankruptcy,   insolvency,   and  other  similar  laws  affecting
creditors'  rights,  and  rules  of  law  governing  specific  performance,  and
Consultant has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

              (b) Representations Not Made by Company. Consultant represents and
affirms  that  none of the  following  information  has ever  been  represented,
guaranteed  or warranted to  Consultant,  expressly  or by  implication,  by any
person:  (i) the  approximate  or exact length of time that  Consultant  will be
required to remain a security  holder of the  Company;  (ii) the  percentage  of
profit and/or amount of or type of consideration, profit or loss to be realized,
if any, as a result of an investment in the Company; or (iii) the possibility

                                        3
<PAGE>

that the past  performance  or  experience  on the  part of the  Company  or any
affiliate, or any officer,  director,  employee or agent of the foregoing, might
in any way  indicate or predict the results of  ownership of any Security or the
potential success of the Company's operations.

              (c)  Purchase  for Own  Account.  Consultant  is the sole and true
party in interest,  is acquiring the Securities for  his/her/its own account for
investment,  is not  purchasing the Securities for hereby for the benefit of any
other person, and has no present intention of holding or managing the Securities
with others or of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of any portion of
the  Securities.  Consultant  (i) if an  individual,  is a citizen of the United
States,  is at least 21 years of age, and is a bona fide  permanent  resident of
and is  domiciled in the state set forth below  Consultant's  name in Section 12
hereof,  (ii) if an  entity,  is duly  organized  and in  good  standing  in its
jurisdiction  of  organization  and has its  principal  place of business in the
state set forth below Consultant's name in Section 12 hereof.

              (d) Disclosure and Review of Information.  Consultant acknowledges
and represents  that he/it has received and reviewed a copy of (A) the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended,  for the fiscal year ended  December 31,
2001, (B) the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June
30, 2002, and (C) the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
January  4,  2002  (the  "Current  Filings")  and has  been  given a  reasonable
opportunity to review all documents, books and records of the Company pertaining
to this  investment,  and has  been  supplied  with all  additional  information
concerning the Company and the Securities that has been requested by Consultant,
has had a reasonable  opportunity  to ask questions of and receive  answers from
the Company or its representatives concerning this investment, and that all such
questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Consultant.  Consultant
has received,  and  acknowledges  that he/it is receiving,  no  representations,
written  or oral,  from  the  Company  or its  officers,  directors,  employees,
attorneys or agents other than those contained in this Agreement and the Current
Filings.  In making his/her decision to purchase the Securities,  Consultant has
relied  solely  upon its review of the  Current  Filings,  this  Agreement,  and
independent  investigations made by it or its representatives without assistance
of the Company.

              (e) Speculative Investment.  Consultant understands that (i) he/it
must  bear  the  economic  risk  of  the  investment  in the  Securities  for an
indefinite  period of time because the Securities have not been registered under
the Securities Act or qualified  under the Securities Act or the securities laws
of any other jurisdiction and (ii) his/its investment in the Company represented
by the  Securities  is highly  speculative  in nature  and is  subject to a high
degree of risk of loss in whole or in part.  Consultant  has  adequate  means of
providing for his/her current needs and possible  contingencies,  and is able to
bear the high degree of economic  risk of this  investment,  including,  but not
limited  to,  the  possibility  of the  complete  loss  of  Consultant's  entire
investment and the limited transferability of the Securities, which may make the
liquidation of this investment impossible for the indefinite future.

              (f)  Accredited  Consultant  Status.  Consultant is an "accredited
Consultant"  within the meaning of Rule 501(a)  promulgated under the Securities
Act, in that Consultant (a) is a natural person (i) whose  individual net worth,
or joint net worth with his spouse,  presently exceeds  $1,000,000,  or (ii) who
had  individual  net income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent
years or joint  income  with his spouse in excess of  $300,000  in each of those
years and has a  reasonable  expectation  of reach that same income level in the
current year, or (b) is an entity in which all of the equity owners  satisfy the
definition of accredited Consultant set forth in subsection (a).

                                        4
<PAGE>

              (g)  Investment   Experience.   Consultant  has  experience  as  a
Consultant in securities and acknowledges  that it can bear the economic risk of
its  investment  in the  Securities.  By  reason  of  Consultant's  business  or
financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional
advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or
any  affiliate  or  selling  agent  of  the  Company,  directly  or  indirectly,
Consultant has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection  with its
purchase of the  Securities.  Consultant has the financial  capacity to bear the
risk of this investment and has received from the Company all information it has
requested  and  considers  necessary  or  appropriate  for  deciding  whether to
purchase the Securities.  If an entity, Consultant has not been organized solely
for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

              (h) Restricted Securities.  Consultant understands that the common
shares will be  "restricted  securities"  under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended (the  "Securities  Act")  inasmuch as they are being  acquired  from the
Company in a transaction not involving a public  offering,  and that,  under the
Securities Act and applicable  regulations  thereunder,  such  securities may be
resold without  registration  under the  Securities Act only in certain  limited
circumstances. In this connection,  Consultant represents that he/it is familiar
with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect,  and
understands  the resale  limitations  imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
Consultant  further  confirms and agrees that the Company is under no obligation
to register the common shares under the Securities  Act or any state  securities
laws.

              (i)  Legends.   Consultant   understands   that  the  certificates
evidencing  the Securities  will bear the legend set forth below,  together with
any other legends  required by the laws of the Province of Ontario and any other
state or province with jurisdiction:

              THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
              OF  1933,  AS  AMENDED,   OR  QUALIFIED  UNDER   APPLICABLE  STATE
              SECURITIES  LAWS AND HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR INVESTMENT  PURPOSES ONLY
              AND  NOT  WITH A VIEW  TO OR  FOR  SALE  IN  CONNECTION  WITH  ANY
              DISTRIBUTION  THEREOF.   THESE  SECURITIES  MAY  NOT  BE  SOLD  OR
              OTHERWISE  TRANSFERRED  UNLESS A  REGISTRATION  STAEMENT UNDER THE
              SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  IS IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO
              SUCH SECURITIES OR THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION IN FORM AND
              SUBSTANCE  SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY PROVIDING THAT AN EXEMPTION
              FROM THE REGISTRATION  REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
              AS AMENDED, IS AVAILABLE.

         The legend set forth  above  shall be removed by the  Company  from any
certificate  evidencing  any of the  Securities  only  (i) upon  receipt  by the
Company of an opinion in form and  substance  satisfactory  to the Company  that
such legend may be removed pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act,  or  (ii)  upon  confirmation  that  a  registration  statement  under  the
Securities  Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended  Security
and that such transfer  will not  jeopardize  the  exemption or exemptions  from
registration pursuant to which the respective Security was issued.

         11.  Independent  Contractor:  Consultant  shall  perform its  services
hereunder as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company. It
is  expressly  understood  and agreed to by the Parties  hereto that  Consultant
shall  have no  authority  to act  for,  represent  or bind the  Company  or any

                                        5
<PAGE>

affiliate  thereof in any manner,  except as may be agreed to  expressly  by the
Company in writing from time to time.

         12.  Miscellaneous:

              (a)  This   Agreement   constitutes   the  entire   agreement  and
understanding  of the  Parties  hereto  and  supersedes  any  and  all  previous
agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties with
respect to the matters set forth herein.

              (b) Any notice or  communication  permitted or required  hereunder

 (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 in 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 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
 

 
 2 

 
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, 2003. If Constar elects to extend, in accordance with Exhibit A, any Service that may be extended as set
forth in Exhibit A, Crown will notify Constar of the Fee for such Service (the “Fee Notice”) within 15 days of Crown’s receipt of Constar’s notice of extension (the “Extension Notice”). Constar will
then have 15 days from its receipt of the Fee Notice to accept such Fee or otherwise reach agreement with Crown on such Fee. If Constar does not accept such Fee or otherwise reach agreement with Crown within 15 days from Constar’s receipt of
the Fee Notice, Constar will be deemed to have revoked its Extension Notice and may obtain such Service from a third party, in which case Crown will be under no obligation to provide such Service to Constar. 
  
 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.T. Bolton 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
 

 
 3 

 
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 upon the Initial Public Offering Date and shall continue in effect until December 31, 2003,
unless (a) otherwise provided with respect to any Service on Exhibit A, (b) this Agreement is extended in accordance with Exhibit A with respect to any Service that may be extended as set forth in Exhibit A, (c) Constar
terminates this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of a particular Service pursuant to Section 4.2 or proviso (b) of Section 7.11 or (d) this Agreement is 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 90 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, (ii) Constar materially
breaches any other applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (iii) 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). 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. 

 
 4 

  
 (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). 
  
 (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 or utilized or received in the course of providing the Services, as the case may be, including, without limitation, know-how, material, manufacturing, tooling and equipment specifications and
other information necessary 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 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,
 

 
 5 

 
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
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
 

 
 6 

 
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 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
 

 
 7 

 
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 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
 

 
 8 

 
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. 
  
 7.3.    Amendment and Modification.    This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written instrument duly

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)

 10 

  
 7.9.    Dispute Resolution: Negotiation and
Arbitration. 
  
 (a)  The parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of
or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation in good faith between executives who have authority to settle the dispute. A party shall give the other parties written notice of any dispute not resolved in the ordinary course of business.
Within ten Business Days after delivery of such notice, the party receiving notice shall submit to the others a written response thereto. The notice and the response shall include: (i) a statement of each party’s position(s) regarding the
matter(s) in dispute and a summary of arguments in support thereof, and (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and any other Person who will accompany that executive. 
  
 (b)  Within 10 Business Days after delivery of the notice, the designated executives shall meet at a mutually
acceptable time and place, and thereafter, as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to any other shall be honored in a timely fashion. All negotiations
conducted pursuant to this Section 7.9 (and any of the parties’ submissions in contemplation hereof) shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be treated by the parties and their representatives as compromise and settlement
negotiations under the United States Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar state rules. 
  
 (c)  If the matter in dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the first meeting of the executives to attempt to resolve the dispute, either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration to the Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. 
  
 (d)  The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, as modified or revised by the provisions of this Section 7.9, shall govern any arbitration
proceeding hereunder. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators selected pursuant to Rule 13 of the Commercial Arbitration Rules, and pre-hearing discovery shall be permitted if and only to the extent determined by the arbitrator to be
necessary in order to effectuate resolution of the matter in dispute. The arbitrator’s decision shall be rendered within 30 days of the conclusion of any hearing hereunder and the arbitrator’s judgment and award may be 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 preclude the Parties from seeking in any court of
competent jurisdiction temporary or interim injunctive relief to the extent necessary to preserve the subject matter of the dispute pending resolution under this Section 7.9. 
  
 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 state court located in the City of Philadelphia and
hereby waive
 

 
 11 

 
the right to assert the lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or improper venue in connection with any such suit, action or other proceeding. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of
the parties (a) waives the defense of inconvenient forum, (b) agrees not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby other than in any such court (other than the mandatory
submission to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.9), and (c) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit or judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. 
  
 7.11.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement
and Exhibit A hereto constitute the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

  
 7.12.    Assignment.    This Agreement may not be assigned by
Constar without the prior written consent of Crown. Crown may assign its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, that, with respect to any assignment to a Person other than any other Crown Entity, (a) Crown will provide Constar with 90
days notice of any such assignment; (b) Constar will have the option to terminate any Service which is the subject of any such planned assignment by Crown upon notice to Crown no later than 30 days after Constar’s receipt of the notice
described in proviso (a) above, with such termination becoming effective 60 days after such notice by Constar, after which time Crown will no longer be obligated to provides such Service and Constar will no longer be liable for any associated Fees
with respect to such Service; and (c) in the event that Constar does not so terminate any Service which is the subject of any such planned assignment by Crown, any costs charged to Crown by any assignee with respect to any such Service will be
passed on to Constar and the Fees will be increased accordingly, subject to audit by Constar of the actual costs charged to Crown by any such assignee, during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (subject to Crown’s
reasonable rules and regulations regarding Constar’s access to any Crown facility). Constar may, and hereby gives notice to Crown that it intends to, pledge its rights and obligations under this Agreement to its lenders as collateral to secure
indebtedness outstanding under its senior secured credit facility and all renewals, refundings, refinancings and replacements thereof. 
  
 7.13.    No Third Party Beneficiaries.    Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any person other than the parties hereto and their
respective successors or permitted assigns any rights (including third party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or (b) constitute the parties hereto as partners or as participants in a
joint venture. This Agreement shall not provide third parties other than Constar Entities and Crown Entities with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to the terms
of this Agreement. 
  
 7.14.    Survival.    In the event that Constar
ceases to be a publicly traded company or becomes a Subsidiary of a publicly traded Company (other than Crown), all of the rights of
 

 
 12 

 
Crown shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to any publicly traded company that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries Controls Constar. Constar agrees
that, without the prior written consent of Crown, it will not enter into any agreement or arrangement which will have the effect set forth in the first clause of the preceding sentence, unless such publicly traded company agrees to be bound by the
foregoing. 
  
 7.15.    Section Headings; Interpretive Issues.    The
section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Crown and Constar have participated jointly in the drafting and negotiation
of this Agreement. In the event any ambiguity or question of interpretation or intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by Crown and Constar and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any
party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 7.16.    Effectiveness.    The terms of this Agreement shall not become effective until the Initial Public Offering Date. 
  
 7.17.    Pronouns.    Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall be deemed also to include the
corresponding neuter, masculine or feminine forms.
