on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may
be accelerated as provided in Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture for the purposes of this Parent Guarantee, notwithstanding any

    	 	18	 

     

    

 

(b)          At
least five (5) Business Days before the scheduled Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative
a statement (the “Cash Payment Adjustment Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the aggregate
adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to 2.05(a) (the “Adjustment Amount”). Such calculation shall
be prepared by Buyer and, to the extent the Triggering Divestiture relates to the businesses, assets, properties or product lines
of (x) the Company or any Company Subsidiary, shall be calculated consistently with the accounting principles, policies, practices
and classifications used to calculate net sales in the 2016 Audited Financial Statements of the Company or (y) the Buyer or any
subsidiary of Buyer, shall be calculated consistently with the accounting principles, policies, practices and classifications used
to calculate net sales in the 2016 audited financial statements of the Buyer. During the five (5) Business Day period before the
scheduled Closing Date, Buyer and its Representatives shall be available to the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives
for any questions or comments on the Adjustment Amount. The amount of the cash portion of the Purchase Price payable at Closing
shall be decreased by the Adjustment Amount. Following the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall resolve
any dispute regarding the calculation of the Adjustment Amount as follows.

 

(i)          Examination.
During the sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (the “Review Period”) the Sellers’ Representative
shall have the right to review the Cash Payment Adjustment Statement. During the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative
and Sellers’ Accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, the
personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the calculation
of the Adjustment Amount as the Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Cash Payment
Adjustment Statement and whether the Adjustment Amount was prepared in accordance with 2.05(b); provided, that such
access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or its subsidiaries
or the Company or any Company Subsidiaries.

 

(ii)         Objection.
On or before the last day of the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative may object to the calculation of the Adjustment
Amount by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s objections in reasonable
detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Sellers’ Representative’s assertion that such
was not prepared in accordance with 2.05(b) (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Sellers’ Representative
fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Cash Payment Adjustment Statement
shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers’ Representative, and the Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to be the
Final Adjustment Amount. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the
Review Period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty
(30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are
so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Adjustment Amount and the Cash Payment Adjustment Statement with such changes as
may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, shall be final and binding.

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

(iii)        Resolution
of Disputes. If the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth
in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed
Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants (other than Sellers’ Accountants, Buyer’s Accountants or any other accounting firm that has been
engaged by any party to this Agreement or any Affiliate of such party to perform services in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement), appointed by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Independent Accountant”)
who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Adjustment
Amount and, as the case may be, the Cash Payment Adjustment Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made
without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and
their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Cash Payment Adjustment
Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

 

(iv)        Fees
of the Independent Accountant. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Party (i.e., the
Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand) that assigned amounts to items in dispute
that were, on a net basis, furthest in amount from the amount finally determined by the Independent Accountant (or equally in the
event the Parties’ assigned amounts were, on a net basis, each within 15% of the amount finally determined by the Independent
Accountant).

 

(v)         Determination
by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days
(or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed
Amounts and their adjustments to the Cash Payment Adjustment Statement and/or the Adjustment Amount shall be conclusive and binding
upon the parties hereto, and the Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Adjustment Amount. In making its determination,
the Independent Accountant, in its sole discretion, will determine: (i) the nature and extent of the participation by Buyer, the
Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers and their respective Representatives in connection with the resolution of any disagreement
submitted to the Independent Accountant; (ii) the nature and extent of the information that may be submitted to the Independent
Accountant for consideration in connection with such resolution and (iii) the personnel of the Independent Accountant who will
review such information and resolve such disagreement.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

(vi)        Payments
of Final Adjustment Amount. Within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount:

 

(i)          if
the result of (1) the Final Adjustment Amount minus (2) the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the cash
portion of the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the amount of such shortfall, and the Sellers’ Representative
shall pay the amount of such difference to Buyer; and

 

(ii)         if
the result of (1) the Final Adjustment Amount minus (2) the Adjustment Amount is a positive number then the cash
portion of the Purchase Price will be adjusted upward by the amount of such excess, and the Buyer shall pay the amount of such
difference to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Sellers, the Optionholders and the SAR Holders.

 

(c)          Adjustments
for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to 2.05 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties
for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

2.06         Post-Closing
Payments. Unless the context of any Transaction Document expressly requires otherwise, any
payment to be made by Buyer or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, after the Closing Date, to or on behalf of any of the Sellers,
Optionholders or SAR Holders pursuant to: (a) 2.05 or ARTICLE IX
of this Agreement or (b) the Escrow Agreement, will be made to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Sellers,
Optionholders, SAR Holders and the Company proportionately (in accordance with the proportion of the Purchase Price allocated to
such Seller, Optionholder and SAR Holder pursuant to the Allocation Certificate and to the Company to cover its payroll tax and
benefit plan obligations with respect to such amounts). In addition, any such payment to be made
to the Paying Agent will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent on behalf of such Seller,
Optionholder, SAR Holder and the Company in accordance with the applicable Wire Transfer Instructions.

 

2.07         Withholding
Tax. Buyer, the Escrow Agent and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price and other amounts
payable under this Agreement all Taxes, if any, that Buyer, the Escrow Agent and the Company may be required to deduct and withhold
under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to the Sellers hereunder. Without limiting
the foregoing: (a) any payment otherwise to be made by the Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative
on behalf of any Optionholder pursuant to 2.03(a)(i) of this Agreement (each, an “Optionholder Payment”)
who is an employee or former employee of the Company or a Company Subsidiary shall be instead paid to the Company or Company Subsidiary,
as applicable, that as of the Closing makes (or had made) payments of wages to such Optionholder on behalf of such Optionholder;
(b) any payment otherwise to be made by the Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative
on behalf of any SAR Holder pursuant to 2.03(a)(i) of this Agreement (each, a “SAR Holder Payment”) who
is an employee or former employee of the Company or a Company Subsidiary shall be instead paid to the Company or Company Subsidiary,
as applicable, that as of the Closing makes (or had made) payments of wages to such SAR Holder on behalf of such SAR Holder; and
(c) the Company or applicable Company Subsidiary shall pay to such Optionholder or SAR Holder the amount of such Optionholder Payment
or SAR Holder Payment on the Closing Date funded from the Purchase Price; provided, however, that (x) the amount
of such Optionholder Payment and SAR Holder Payment shall be reduced by the amount of applicable payroll withholding Taxes for
such Optionholder’s or SAR Holder’s income and employment Taxes with respect to such Optionholder Payment or SAR Holder
Payment and (y) the Company or Company Subsidiary shall remit any such Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Prior to
making any deduction or withholding from the Purchase Price or other amounts payable under this Agreement (other than an Optionholder
Payment or SAR Holder Payment), the applicable withholding agent shall provide three (3) days’ prior written notice to the
Sellers’ Representative of the amounts subject to deduction or withholding and a
reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding.
Buyer, the Escrow Agent and the Company agree to cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative
and the Sellers in mitigating, reducing or eliminating any such deduction or withholding.

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

2.08         Paying
Agent. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the “Paying
Agent”), to act as agent for the parties for purposes of, among other things, distributing to the Sellers, the Optionholders
and SARs Holders the consideration and other amounts to which they are entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to the Closing,
the Company shall enter into a paying agent agreement, in customary form on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer, the Sellers’
Representative and the Company (the “Paying Agent Agreement”).

to use, all Leased Real Property and all other personal property and other assets leased by the Company in connection with the

legal and beneficial owner of the owned Real Properties and the sole legal and beneficial holder of the leasehold interest in all
Leased Real Property. All such properties and assets (including land use right and leasehold interests) are free and clear of Encumbrances
except for any Permitted Encumbrances.

 

    	 	33	 

     

    

 

(b)          4.09(b)
of the Sellers’ Disclosure Letter lists: (i) the street address of each parcel of Real Property; (ii) if such property
is leased or subleased by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, the landlord under the lease, the rental amount currently being
paid, and the expiration of the term of such lease or sublease for each leased or subleased property; (iii) if a land use right
to such Property is obtained through a land grant contract, the counterparty to such a contract, the total amount of land premium
paid and to be paid, and the expiration of the term of such a contract; and (iv) the current use of such property. With respect
to owned Real Property, the Sellers have delivered to Buyer true and complete copies of the deeds and other instruments (as recorded)
by which the Company or any Company Subsidiary acquired such Real Property, and copies of all title insurance policies, opinions,
abstracts and surveys in the possession of the Sellers or the Company or any Company Subsidiary and relating to the Real Property.
With respect to leased Real Property, the Sellers have delivered to Buyer true and complete copies of any leases affecting the
Real Property. None of the Sellers, the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has leased, licensed or granted any right to occupy
any of the Real Property to a Person other than the Company or a Company Subsidiary. Except as set forth in 4.09(b) of the
Sellers’ Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is a party to any material subordination, non-disturbance
or attornment agreement with respect to any leased Real Property. None of the Sellers, the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is
a sublessor or grantor under any sublease or other instrument granting to any other Person any right to the possession, lease,
occupancy or enjoyment of any leased Real Property. Each Real Property lease is in full force and effect and constitutes the valid
and legally binding obligation of the Company or the Company Subsidiary that is a party thereto, enforceable in accordance with
its terms. Each land grant contract for Real Property in China, as applicable, is in full force and effect and constitutes the
valid and legally binding obligation of the Company Subsidiary and all necessary approvals and registrations with the Governmental
Authority have been obtained and effected with respect thereto. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no dispute or breach or event
that with the passage of time or with notice, or both, would constitute a default in any material respect under any Real Property
lease or land grant contract by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, by any other party thereto.
None of the Sellers, the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has collaterally assigned, granted or created any Encumbrance (other
than any Permitted Encumbrance) with respect to any owned or leased Real Property. The use and operation of the Real Property in
the conduct of the businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries do not violate in any material respect any covenant,
condition, restriction, easement, Permit or Contract. With respect to Real Property in Brazil, no agricultural, livestock, rural
colonization or agro-industrial activities are carried out in such Real Property. No material improvements constituting a part
of the Real Property encroach on real property owned or leased by a Person other than the Company or a Company Subsidiary.

 

(c)          There
is no pending or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, threatened Action (including condemnation or eminent domain proceedings) that would

and all benefits accrued under any unfunded U.S. Benefit Plan have been paid, accrued or otherwise adequately reserved to the extent
required by, and in accordance with, GAAP.

(g)          The
actuarial present value of “benefit liabilities” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA) (both vested and nonvested)
of each U.S. Benefit Plan of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, which is subject to Title IV of ERISA, is less than or equal
to the market value of the assets held in the trust under such U.S. Benefit Plan as of the most recent actuarial valuation. The
preceding determination has been made in accordance with the actuarial assumptions used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
to determine the level of funding required on an ongoing basis. Since the date of such most recent actuarial valuation, there has
been no material adverse change in the funding status of any such U.S. Benefit Plan as reflected in the actuarial report for such
valuation. For the purposes of this subsection, unfunded Liabilities and projected costs have been determined by the Company, the
Company Subsidiaries and their actuaries using actuarial methods and assumptions that are, singly and in the aggregate, reasonable
taking into account circumstances known to them on the date this representation is being made and, except as adjusted to satisfy
the requirements that such assumptions be reasonable, consistent with prior practice.

 

(h)          Neither
the Company, any Company Subsidiary nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has: (i) failed to pay premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation; (ii) withdrawn from any U.S. Benefit Plan or (iii) engaged in any transaction which would give rise to Liability under
Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA.

 

(i)          With
respect to each U.S. Benefit Plan: (i) no such plan is a “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Section 413(c)
of the Code or a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA); (ii) no Action has
been initiated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to terminate any such plan or to appoint a trustee for any such plan
and (iii) no “reportable event,” as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, for which notice has not been waived, has occurred
with respect to any such plan.

 

(j)          Each
U.S. Benefit Plan that is not subject to Title IV or ERISA may be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Closing
in accordance with its terms, without material Liabilities to Buyer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates.
Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has a commitment or obligation or has made any representations to any employee,
officer, director, manager, member, independent contractor or consultant to adopt, amend, modify or terminate any U.S. Benefit
Plan or any collective bargaining agreement in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or otherwise.

 

(k)          Other
than as required under Section 601 et. seq. of ERISA or other Law, no U.S. Benefit Plan provides post-termination or retiree welfare
benefits to any individual for any reason, and neither the Company, any Company Subsidiary nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has
any Liability to provide post-termination or retiree welfare benefits to any individual or ever represented, promised or contracted
to any individual that such individual would be provided with post-termination or retiree welfare benefits.

 

(l)          There
is no pending or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, threatened Action relating to a U.S. Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for
benefits), and no U.S. Benefit Plan has within the past three (3) years been the subject of an examination or audit by a Governmental
Authority or the subject of a pending application or filing under or is a participant in, an amnesty, voluntary compliance, self-correction
or similar program sponsored by any Governmental Authority.

 

    	 	44	 

     

    

 

(m)          With
respect to any insurance policy (or ancillary agreement with respect to such insurance policy) or premium payment obligation related
to any U.S. Benefit Plan, neither the Company, any Company Subsidiary, any of their ERISA Affiliates, nor the Buyer shall be subject
to a retroactive rate adjustment, loss sharing arrangement or other actual or contingent Liability.

 

(n)          The
Company, each Company Subsidiary and each of their ERISA Affiliates have materially complied with: (i) the notice and continuation
coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to each U.S. Benefit Plan that is
a group health plan within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code and (ii) the shared responsibility requirements of Section
4980H of the Code. Each U.S. Benefit Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as
amended, and the regulations issued thereunder.

 

(o)          There
has been no undisclosed amendments to, announcements by the Company or any Company Subsidiary relating to, or change in employee
participation or coverage under, any U.S. Benefit Plan or collective bargaining agreement that would increase the annual expense
of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred for the most recently completed fiscal year with respect to any
director, member, manager, officer, employee, independent contractor or consultant, as applicable.

 

(p)          Each
U.S. Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been administered in material compliance with its terms and the
operational and documentary requirements of Section 409A of the Code and all applicable regulatory guidance (including notices,
rulings and proposed and final regulations) thereunder. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any obligation to gross
up, indemnify or otherwise reimburse any individual for any excise taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A
of the Code.

 

(q)          Except
as set forth on 4.19(q) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Letter, neither the execution of this Agreement nor any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events):
(i) entitle any current or former director, member, manager, officer, employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company
or any Company Subsidiary to severance pay or any other payment; (ii) accelerate the time of payment, funding or vesting, or increase
the amount of compensation due to any such individual; (iii) limit or restrict the right of the Company or any Company Subsidiary
to merge, amend or terminate any U.S. Benefit Plan; (iv) increase the amount payable under or result in any other material obligation
pursuant to any U.S. Benefit Plan; (v) result in “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)
of the Code or (vi) require a “gross-up” or other payment to any “disqualified individual” within the meaning
of Section 280G(c) of the Code. The Company has delivered to Buyer true and complete copies of any Section 280G calculations prepared
(whether or not final) with respect to any disqualified individual in connection with the transactions.

for the benefit of current or former employees, officers or directors of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate who are employed, or
otherwise engaged, outside the United States and that is not subject to the Code or to ERISA (each a “Non-U.S. Benefit

maintained or controlled by the Company or any of its Company Subsidiaries (“Excluded Non-U.S. Benefit Plans”):
(A) (1) all employer and employee contributions required by Law or by the terms of the Non-U.S. Benefit Plan have been made, and
all liabilities of the Company and its Company Subsidiaries have been satisfied, or, in each case accrued, by the Company and its
Company Subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (2) the Company and its Company Subsidiaries
are in compliance with all requirements of applicable Law and the terms of such Non-U.S. Benefit Plan; (B) the fair market value
of the assets of each funded Non-U.S. Benefit Plan, or the book reserve established for each Non-U.S. Benefit Plan, together with
any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current
and former participants in such Non-U.S. Benefit Plan determined on an ongoing basis (rather than on a plan termination basis)
according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally
accepted accounting principles; and (C) the Non-U.S. Benefit Plan has been registered as required and has been maintained in good
standing with applicable regulatory authorities. All employer and employee contributions required by Law or by the terms of the
Excluded Non-U.S. Benefit Plans have been made and all Liabilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have been satisfied,
or, in each case accrued, by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

Bank AG New York Branch and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. have agreed to lend the amounts set forth therein (the “Stated
Debt Financing”) for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Debt Financing Commitment

(or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) by the Buyer under the Debt Financing Commitment,

or otherwise (including the Stated Debt Financing, the “Debt Financing”)) will not be available to the Buyer
on the Closing Date in an amount sufficient to pay the amounts required under this Agreement assuming compliance by Sellers with

to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons with respect to, or
that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry,

recapitalization, share exchange, tender offer or other business combination transaction involving the Company or a Company Subsidiary;
(ii) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company or a Company Subsidiary or

of (i) inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (ii) land in Genoa, Italy and Rouen, France.

 

(b)          In
addition to the other obligations under this 6.04, the Sellers’ Representative

or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and
conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same.

 

(c)          Sellers
agree that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this 6.04 shall include having such provision specifically enforced
by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause
irreparable injury to Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer.

and to do, or cause to be done, all reasonable things necessary or advisable under any applicable Laws to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including (i) the preparation and filing of all documentation, forms,

contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) obtaining (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, expiration

or made (whether by Law or in order to satisfy the conditions set forth in 8.01(a)) by Buyer, the Sellers’
Representative or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) obtaining (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent,
approval of, waiver or any exemption by, any non-governmental third party, in each case, to the extent necessary or advisable to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (v) the execution and delivery of any reasonable additional instruments
necessary to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)          The
parties hereto shall each keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents, authorizations, Orders or approvals
of, or any exemptions by, any Governmental Authority undertaken pursuant to the provisions of this 6.05. The parties hereto
shall consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third
parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein.
The parties hereto shall cause their respective counsel to reasonably collaborate with each other to prepare any written materials
that will be jointly submitted to any third person or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and to consult with each other regarding any written submission to any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
the foregoing (and subject to 6.08, the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement dated December 16, 2015, as amended, between Buyer
and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and the Joint Defense Agreement dated June 16, 2016 and executed
by the respective counsel of Buyer and the Company on behalf of Buyer, the Company and Affiliates of the Company and Company Subsidiaries),
Buyer, Gulf Houghton and the Company may, as each reasonably deems advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive
material provided to the other under this 6.05(b) as “Outside Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the
information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient on the basis that such outside counsel
agrees not to disclose such information to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained
in advance from the source of the materials (Buyer, Gulf Houghton or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this 6.05, materials provided pursuant to this 6.05 may be redacted (i) to
remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (iii)
as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

(c)          Buyer
and the Sellers’ Representative shall use reasonable best efforts to make or file
with the appropriate Governmental Authority all filings, forms, registrations and notifications required (whether by Law or in
order to satisfy the conditions set forth in 8.01(a)) to be filed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
under any applicable Antitrust Law, and subsequent to such filings and subject to the terms and conditions of 6.05(b), Buyer
and the Sellers’ Representative will respond to inquiries from Governmental Authorities,
or provide any supplemental information that may be requested by Governmental Authorities, in connection with filings made with
such Governmental Authorities (to the extent reasonably available). Buyer and the Sellers’
Representative shall file their notification and report forms under the HSR Act within fifteen (15) Business Days after
the date of this Agreement or when advisable. Subject to 6.05(b) and the last sentence of this 6.05(c), in the event
that the parties receive a request for information or documentary material pursuant to any Antitrust Law, including the HSR Act
(any such request pursuant to the HSR Act, a “Second Request”), the parties will use their respective reasonable
best efforts to submit an appropriate response to, and to certify compliance as soon as reasonably practicable with, any such request
for information or documentary material, and counsel for both parties will closely cooperate during the entirety of any review
process pursuant to any Antitrust Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may, if Buyer in good faith believes it to be necessary
or advisable to do so in order to permit the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in 8.01(a) and 8.01(b) or in
order to avoid a Triggering Divestiture, elect not to certify compliance with any such Second Request until the date that is six
(6) months after the date of such Second Request.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative

(subject to the last sentence of this 6.05(d)), (i) propose, negotiate, commit to, effect and agree to, by consent decree,
hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, holding separate, and other disposition of and restriction on
the businesses, assets, properties and product lines, or changes to the conduct of business of, the Company, Buyer and their respective
subsidiaries and take such action or actions that would in the aggregate have a similar effect, (ii) create, terminate, or divest
relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of the Company, Buyer and their respective subsidiaries and (iii) otherwise
take or commit to take any action that would limit Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or
hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, properties or product lines of the Company, Buyer and their respective subsidiaries;
provided that any such sales, divestitures, licenses, holdings, dispositions, restrictions, changes or similar effects are
conditioned upon and become effective only concurrently with or immediately upon the Closing; provided further, however,
that nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative
to take, or cause to be taken, or commit to take, or commit to cause to be taken, any divestiture, license, hold separate, sale
or other disposition, of or with respect to businesses, assets, properties or product lines of the Company, Buyer or any of their
respective subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, in excess of $80 million of Pro Forma Net Sales represented by the assets
divested. However, if requested by Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative shall agree
to any action contemplated by this 6.05; provided that any such agreement or action is conditioned on the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Sellers’
Representative (and the Sellers’ Representative shall not permit any of its
Affiliates to) propose, negotiate, effect or agree to any such actions without the prior written consent of Buyer.

efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such

with respect to the Buyer Proxy Statement promptly after receipt thereof and to cause the Buyer Proxy Statement in definitive form
to be cleared by the SEC and delivered to the Buyer’s shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following filing

any information provided by it for use in the Buyer Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading and, if determined
by Buyer to be necessary or appropriate, Buyer shall promptly prepare and deliver to its shareholders an amendment or supplement
setting forth such correction. Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) notify the Sellers’ Representative of the
receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Buyer Proxy Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) nothing shall
require such cooperation as described in 6.20 to the extent it would, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, materially
interfere with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries and (B) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall be required to, or be required to commit to, (1) enter into or execute any agreement or document unless the effectiveness

logos in connection with the Debt Financing if such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely
to harm or disparage the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries,
subject to the Company’s prior written consent.

immediately before the Closing Date (the “Company Employees”) and who continue employment during such time period
with (i) annual base compensation no less than the annual base compensation provided to such Company Employees immediately
prior to the Closing Date and annual target cash incentive amounts that are no less than the annual target cash incentive amounts
provided to such Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date pursuant to annual incentive plans described in 6.21(a)
of the Sellers’ Disclosure Letter, as such compensation and plans may be amended, extended or otherwise modified in compliance
with 6.01, (ii) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits described in 6.21(a) of
the Sellers’ Disclosure Letter pursuant to the severance plans described in 6.21(a) of the Sellers’ Disclosure
Letter, and (iii) other qualified plan or foreign retirement plan, welfare or fringe employee benefits that are substantially
comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to such Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date pursuant
to such qualified or foreign retirement plans, welfare and fringe employee benefits described in 6.21(a) of the Sellers’
Disclosure Letter, as such plans and benefits may be amended, extended or otherwise modified in compliance with 6.01.

 

    	 	74	 

     

    

 

(b)          Subject
to 6.21(a), from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, assume, honor and continue during
the Continuation Period or, if later, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied, all of the Company’s and any
Company Subsidiary’s employment, retention, termination and change in control plans, policies, programs, agreements and arrangements
maintained by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in each case, as in effect at the Closing Date and only to the extent they
have been made available to Buyer prior to the date hereof, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights, such as
employment termination or change in control payments, arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either
alone or in combination with any other event), without any amendment or modification, other than any amendment or modification
required to comply with applicable Law.

 

(c)          With
respect to all U.S. Qualified Benefit Plans and welfare plans maintained by the Buyer, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries
in which the Company Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing Date (including any vacation or paid time-off plans
and severance plans) for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting, each Company Employee’s service
with the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such
Company Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Company Subsidiary)
shall be treated as service with the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent such
service would have been recognized by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries under analogous Benefit Plans prior to the Closing
Date; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result
in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

 

(d)          Without
limiting the generality of 6.21(a), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, or shall cause the Company to use
commercially reasonable efforts to, waive any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and
waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries in
which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date, except
to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would
not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to, or shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to, recognize the dollar amount of all
co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the
calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations
under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date.

 

(e)          For
the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of any Benefit Plan containing a definition
of “change in control” or “change of control”, the Closing shall be deemed to constitute a “change
in control” or “change of control” (except as would result in the imposition of “additional Taxes”
under Section 409A of the Code).

 

    	 	75	 

     

    

 

(f)          The
provisions of this 6.21 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no other Person (including any
Company Employee or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this
6.21, and no provision of this 6.21 shall create such rights in any such Persons. No provision of this Agreement
shall be construed (i) as a guarantee of continued employment of any Company Employee, (ii) to prohibit the Buyer or
the Company from having the right to terminate the employment of any Company Employee, (iii) to prevent the amendment, modification
or termination of any Benefit Plan after the Closing (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Benefit
Plan) or (iv) as an amendment or modification of the terms of any Benefit Plan.

 

6.22         Pre-Closing
Check-the-Box Elections. Prior to the Closing Date (i) GHG Lubricants Holdings Ltd. or GHGL London Ltd. shall execute a properly

a duly authorized representative) shall execute a properly completed IRS Form 8832 electing to have the Company treated as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective immediately after the election described in (i) and also before the close of the
day before the Closing Date. The IRS Forms 8832 described in (i) and (ii) will be delivered in escrow to Buyer prior to the Closing
Date, and shall only be filed by Buyer after the Closing Date (provided that Buyer shall also execute the IRS Form 8832 described
in clause (ii) prior to filing). Buyer shall deliver to Sellers’ Representative: (a) evidence of the filing of the IRS Forms
8832 described in clauses (i) and (ii) promptly after such filing and (b) a copy of the IRS notification confirming approval of
the elections as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt.

 

6.23         Registration

to register for sale the Shares issued to the Management Sellers hereunder in accordance with Exhibit J attached hereto.

 

6.24         Bonuses.
Following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company or a Company Subsidiary, as the case may be, to pay bonuses (including stay
bonuses, transaction bonuses or similar bonuses), severance payments, retention payments and other change-of-control payments payable
to any officer, employee or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement or upon the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby (together with the employer-portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes owning
with respect thereto), in each case, to the extent set forth on 6.24 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Letter.

 

6.25         Transfers.

6.26         Shareholder
Approval of Parachute Payments.

 

(a)          Following
the signing of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain executed and effective “waivers,” in
a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, from any individuals who are “disqualified individuals” (as defined in Section
280G(c) of the Code) of the Company and who would reasonably be expected to receive in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) any “parachute payment” (within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) that is subject to the imposition of an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code or that
would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code of an amount of such parachute payments sufficient to reduce such
individual’s aggregate parachute payments to an amount that is less than three (3) times such individual’s “base
amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) (the “280G Waivers”).

 

(b)          Following
the delivery by the Company to Buyer of each of the executed 280G Waivers (if the Company was able to obtain such waivers) described
in 6.26(a) and following the disclosure of any information from Buyer required pursuant to but prior to the Closing Date,
the Company shall submit to its shareholders for approval, in a manner that complies with the approval requirements of Section
280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder and is reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, any payments and/or benefits
that separately or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) for which an executed 280G Waiver was obtained
or for which no waiver is necessary, such that upon obtaining such approval of the Company shareholders such payments and benefits
would not be deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. In addition, the Company shall deliver
to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that either (i) a vote of the Company shareholders was solicited in conformance
with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requisite approval
of the shareholders was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the vote of the Company shareholders
(the “280G Approval”) or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments”
shall not be made or provided pursuant to the 280G Waivers.

 

(c)          To
the extent not already provided, Buyer as reasonably requested by the Company shall promptly provide the Company and its counsel,
in writing, with all relevant terms of any employment contracts or other arrangements that Buyer intends to enter into with the
“disqualified individuals” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) of the Company on or around the Closing Date
that include any such terms that could reasonably be expected to result in payments and other terms (including, but not limited
to, rights to severance or signing bonuses) that need to be approved (or disclosed) to ensure the disclosure to the Company shareholders
and the approval described in 6.26(b) is valid.

 

6.27         Further
Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute
and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably
required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

and only to the extent that Sellers forfeit material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The Sellers’
Representative may, at the Sellers’ own expense, participate in and assume the defense of any Tax Claim; provided,
however, that the Sellers’ Representative acknowledges in writing the Sellers’
responsibility to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to all Taxes at issue in such Tax Claim. If the
Sellers’ Representative assumes such defense, the Sellers’
Representative shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and
may, in its reasonable discretion, pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with
any Taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in its reasonable discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for refund
where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the tax claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that
(i) Buyer shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Claim and the Sellers’ Representative
shall provide Buyer with copies of all written communications relating to the Tax Claim, (ii) the Sellers’
Representative shall keep Buyer informed regarding the progress of such Tax Claim and consult with Buyer with respect to
any issue that could have an adverse effect on Buyer, the Company or any Company Subsidiary and (iii) the Sellers’
Representative shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Claim (or any issue raised in any Tax Claim) without the prior
written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Each of the Sellers and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession
relating to Tax matters of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until
the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without
regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods.

To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to ARTICLE IX may overlap with an obligation or responsibility
pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, the provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall govern.

9.02         Indemnification
by the Sellers, Optionholders and SAR Holders. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE IX, the Sellers
and, to the extent of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Optionholders and SAR Holders, shall severally (in accordance with
the proportion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Seller, Optionholder and SAR Holder pursuant to the Allocation Certificate),
and not jointly, indemnify and defend each of Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company, and the Company
Subsidiaries) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall
hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses actually incurred
or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

 

(a)          any
inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of any Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement, any
Transaction Document or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of any Seller pursuant to this Agreement, in
each case, as of the date hereof or as of the Closing;

 

(b)          any
breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by any Seller pursuant to this Agreement (other
than any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in ARTICLE
VII, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach, violation or failure shall be pursuant to ARTICLE VII);
provided, however, that no Seller shall be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse any Buyer
Indemnitee with respect to a breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation made or to be performed by another
Seller pursuant to this Agreement; or

 

(c)          any
calculation or other manifest errors of the Company in connection with the Company’s calculations, prior to the Closing,
of the Allocation Certificate.

 

9.03         Indemnification
by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE IX, Buyer shall indemnify and defend each Seller
and each of their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against,
and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses actually
incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

 

(a)          any
inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement, any Transaction Document
or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of the date
hereof or as of the Closing; or

 

    	 	84	 

     

    

 

(b)          any
breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (other than
ARTICLE VII, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach thereof shall be pursuant to ARTICLE VII).

 

9.04         Certain
Limitations. The indemnification provided for in 9.02 and 9.03 shall be subject to the following limitations,
it being understood that the provisions set forth in this Section 9.04 shall not in any way expand the obligations of any of the
parties set forth in Section 9.02 or 9.03:

 

(a)          No
Buyer Indemnitee shall make an indemnity claim under 9.02(a) (other than in respect of Losses that arise from any inaccuracy
in or breach of any Fundamental Representation or the representations and warranties contained in 4.21 (Taxes), 4.07(s),
4.19(p) or 4.19(q) to the extent those provisions relate to Taxes) with respect to any individual occurrence unless
and until the aggregate amount of Losses suffered by the Buyer Indemnitee arising from such occurrence or series of related occurrences
exceeds or may reasonably be expected to exceed $400,000. The Sellers, Optionholders and SAR Holders shall not be liable to the
Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under 9.02(a) (other than in respect of Losses that arise from any inaccuracy in or
breach of any Fundamental Representation or the representations and warranties contained in 4.21 (Taxes), 4.07(s),
4.19(p) or 4.19(q) to the extent those provisions relate to Taxes) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect
of indemnification under 9.02(a) exceeds $5,000,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), in which event the Sellers,
Optionholders and SAR Holders shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount, subject
to the terms of this ARTICLE IX.

 

(b)          No
Seller Indemnitee shall make an indemnity claim under 9.03(a) (other than in respect of Losses that arise from any inaccuracy
in or breach of any Fundamental Representation) with respect to any individual occurrence unless and until the aggregate amount
of Losses suffered by the Seller Indemnitee arising from such occurrence or series of related occurrences exceeds or may be reasonably
expected to exceed $400,000. Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under 9.03(a) (other
than in respect of Losses that arise from any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation) until the aggregate amount
of all Losses in respect of indemnification under 9.03(a) exceeds the Deductible Amount, in which event Buyer shall be required
to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount.

 

(c)          Subject
to 9.04(d), the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Sellers, Optionholders and SAR Holders shall be liable pursuant
to 9.02(a) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Indemnification Escrow Amount (the “Cap”) and the
aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to 9.03(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the limitations set forth in 9.04(c) shall not apply to Losses that arise from any inaccuracy in or breach
of any Fundamental Representation; provided, that, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which (i) the Sellers,
Optionholders and SAR Holders shall be liable pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price,
(ii) the Optionholders and SAR Holders shall be liable pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to the Cap and
(iii) the Buyer shall be liable pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

 

    	 	85	 

     

    

 

(e)          For
purposes of this ARTICLE IX, if it is determined that an Indemnified Party is entitled to recover Losses arising out of
any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein, all qualifications as to materiality, Material
Adverse Effect, Buyer Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification shall be disregarded for the purpose of the calculation
of Losses that resulted from any such breach of such representation or warranty.

 

(f)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for (i) any consequential,
incidental or indirect Losses, except to the extent such Losses are either reasonably foreseeable or payable by a Buyer Indemnitee
to a Person other than a Buyer Indemnitee or by a Seller Indemnitee to a Person other than a Seller Indemnitee or (ii) special
or punitive Losses, except to the extent that such Losses are payable by a Buyer Indemnitee to a Person other than a Buyer Indemnitee
or by a Seller Indemnitee to a Person other than a Seller Indemnitee.

 

(g)          The
Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Losses to the extent a Liability with respect to such Loss was
specifically reserved against and reflected on the Financial Statements, unless such liability exceeds the amount of such reserve,
which shall be the Sellers’, Optionholders’ and SAR Holders’ responsibility, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(h)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except (i) in the case of fraud or (ii) with respect to any Fundamental
Representation, each Seller’s, Optionholder’s and SAR Holder’s maximum aggregate indemnification liability pursuant
to 9.02(a) shall be such Seller’s, Optionholder’s and SAR Holder’s share of the Indemnification Escrow
Amount; provided that the foregoing remains subject to 9.04(d). The sole and exclusive recourse for any amount finally determined
to be owed in respect of any indemnity obligations pursuant to 9.02(a) (except (i) in the case of fraud or (ii) with
respect to any Fundamental Representation) shall be the Indemnification Escrow Amount.

 

(i)          The
Seller Indemnitees shall not make any claim for contribution from the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective
officers, directors, members, managers or employees with respect to any indemnity claims arising under or in connection with this
Agreement to the extent that any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder for such claim. The Seller Indemnitees
hereby waive any such right of contribution from the Company, any Company Subsidiary and any of their respective officers, directors,
members, managers or employees they have or may have in the future.  The Seller Indemnitees further agree not to make, directly
or indirectly, and hereby waive, any claim for indemnification against the Company or any Company Subsidiary by reason of the fact
that the Seller Indemnitees or any of their Affiliates or Representatives was a member, manager, officer, director, employee or
agent of the Company or a Company Subsidiary (whether such claim is for Losses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant
to any Law, organizational document, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any Action brought by a Buyer Indemnitee against any
Seller, Optionholder or SAR Holder or any Affiliate or Representative thereof (whether such claim is pursuant to this Agreement
or otherwise).

 

    	 	86	 

     

    

 

(j)          The
Sellers, Optionholders and SAR Holders shall have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee with respect to any breach of
the representations in Section 4.18 to the extent (i) arising out of any sampling of soil, groundwater, soil vapor or other
environmental media at the Real Property by Buyer, except as required under Environmental Laws or by any Governmental Authority;
(ii) arising out of the intentional encouragement by Buyer of any Action by any Governmental Authority or any other Person; (iii)
arising out of any change of use of the Real Property after the Closing Date; (iv) arising out of any Response, Removal or Remedial
Action that is not conducted to eliminate or control any risk from the presence or Release of Hazardous Substances consistent with
the least stringent applicable remediation standard acceptable to the relevant Governmental Authority; (v) arising out of the management
of any building component that contains or is covered with any Hazardous Substance in compliance with Environmental Laws; (vi)
Losses are incurred to replace, repair, improve, or upgrade any building, structure, plant, or equipment, unless such activity
is required or is undertaken as a necessary part of any Response, Removal, or Remedial Action; or (vii) arising out of any change
in Environmental Law after the Closing Date. In connection with any site remediation, the “least stringent applicable remediation
standard” shall include the use of reasonable deed restrictions and engineering controls to limit exposure to contaminants
that are allowed to remain in place, to the extent such restrictions or controls would not interfere with site operations and are
acceptable to the relevant Governmental Entity. It is understood that sampling or other testing of soil, groundwater, soil vapor
or other environmental media at the Real Property may be required under Environmental Law or by any Governmental Authority in connection
with a capital improvement, repair, routine maintenance or operating activities.

 

9.05         Indemnification
Procedures.  The party making a claim under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”,
and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

 

    	 	87	 

     

    

 

(a)          Third
Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any
Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a
“Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated
to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice
thereof, but in any event not later than twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to
give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and
only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses, was deprived
of its right to recover any material payment under its applicable insurance coverage, or was otherwise materially prejudiced, in
each case, by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail,
shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably calculable,
of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate
in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified
Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is any Seller, Optionholder
or SAR Holder such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that
(x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or
(y) seeks relief other than solely the payment of money damages against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying
Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to 9.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it
deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and
on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails
to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently
prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to 9.05(b), pay, compromise, defend
such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party
Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected
by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right, subject to 9.05(b), to control the defense thereof. The fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall
cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making
available (subject to 6.08) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement
of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably
necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

 

(b)          Settlement
of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement
of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this 9.05(b).
If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation
on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from
all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree
to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party
fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to
contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum Liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party
Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also
fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth
in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to 9.05(a),
it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

 

    	 	88	 

     

    

 

(c)          Direct
Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct
Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure
to give such written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only
to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses, was deprived of its
right to recover any material payment under its applicable insurance coverage, or was otherwise materially prejudiced, in each
case, by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall
include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably calculable, of the
Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt
of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives
to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is
payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving
such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s or Company Subsidiary’s, as applicable, premises
and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives
may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party
shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be
available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)          Tax
Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in
respect of Taxes of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach
of the representations and warranties in 4.21 (Taxes) hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform
any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in ARTICLE VII) shall be governed exclusively by ARTICLE VII hereof.

 

9.06         Payments.
Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE IX:

 

(a)          the
Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten (10) Business Days of such agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication
by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, if applicable; and

 

(b)          if
such Loss is payable from the Indemnification Escrow Funds, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow
Agent a Joint Written Instruction instructing the Escrow Agent that the payment in respect of such Loss shall be comprised of cash
and Stock Consideration in the same proportion as the value of the cash and Stock Consideration comprising the Indemnification
Escrow Funds immediately prior to such payment (with the value of a share of such Stock Consideration being equal to, for this
purpose, the volume-weighted trading average of a share of Buyer Common Stock (regardless of whether such Stock Consideration consists
of Buyer Common Stock or preferred stock) for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date on which such Loss is to be paid).

 

9.07         Tax
Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall
be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

    	 	89	 

     

    

 

9.08         Exclusive
Remedies. Subject to 11.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their exclusive remedy with respect to any and all
claims (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VII
and this ARTICLE IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives any and all rights, claims and causes of
action in connection with any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of
their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law (including any Environmental Law), except pursuant to the
indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VII and this ARTICLE IX. Nothing in this 9.08 shall limit
any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on
account of any party’s fraud. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with each other
with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party hereunder.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties shall take, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to take,
all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to,
or does, give rise to Losses.

 

9.09         Indemnification
Escrow Period.  Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent on
the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date and on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date,
in each case, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

 

9.10         Insurance
Proceeds. The amount of Losses recoverable by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX with respect to an indemnity
claim shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party with
respect to the Losses to which such indemnity claim relates, net of any expenses related to the receipt of such payment, including
retrospective premium adjustments, if any, occasioned by such Losses; and (b) any Tax Benefit actually realized by the Indemnified
Party in the taxable period in which the Losses occurred or in the taxable period immediately thereafter. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Tax Benefit” means the actual reduction of Tax liabilities (calculated on the basis of the actual
reduction in cash payments for Taxes) from an increase in deductions, losses or tax credits or decrease in the income, gain or
recapture of tax credits that the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or other affiliated entity thereof actually reported or took
into account (other than by way of any increase in basis). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Tax Return for the
taxable period in which the Losses occurred has yet to be filed at the time that an indemnity payment is to be made, the amount
of the Loss recoverable by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX with respect to an indemnity claim shall not
be reduced by the amount of any Tax Benefit; and, instead, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount
of such Tax Benefit within five (5) Business Days after the filing of the Tax Return for the taxable period in which the Tax Benefit
is actually realized.

be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; (c) the
words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer
to this Agreement as a whole and (d) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which, any act
is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period will be
excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question will end on the next succeeding Business
Day. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, the Sellers’ Disclosure Letter,
Exhibits and Annexes mean the Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Annexes attached to, this Agreement, and the Sellers’
Disclosure Letter delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document
means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted
by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation
thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule
requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The

11.05         Severability.
 If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term
or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

11.06         Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this
Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings
and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements
in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits, the Annexes and Sellers’ Disclosure
Letter (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Sellers’ Disclosure Letter), the statements in the body
of this Agreement will control.

provided, however, that before the Closing Date, Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, assign all
or any portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect subsidiaries;
provided, further, that the Buyer may assign any or all of its rights or benefits under this Agreement and any other Transaction
Document without the prior written consent of the Sellers (whereupon the Buyer shall provide written notice thereof to the Sellers’
Representative), as a collateral assignment, to the Buyer’s or its Affiliates lenders or other debt financing sources. No
assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Third-party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in 6.13 and 11.15, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the

a party hereto), the Seller Indemnitees (to the extent not a party hereto), the Releasees (to the extent not a party hereto) and
their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Section 11.08 and Sections 11.09,

6.20, 11.08, 11.10, 11.15 and this 11.09 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent
a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of the foregoing sections) may not be modified,
waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any respect to a Debt Financing Source without the prior written
consent of such Debt Financing Source. For purposes of this 11.09, subject to the foregoing sentence, the Sellers agree
that any amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement signed by the Sellers’ Representative shall be binding upon and

remedy, power or privilege.

or SAR Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and all actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative

received notice of such death, incompetence, incapacity, or other event. The Sellers’ Representative will be promptly reimbursed
by the Sellers, Optionholders and SAR Holders for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred by the Sellers’
Representative in such capacity upon demand. The Sellers, Optionholders and SAR Holders severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify
and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representatives for and from any loss, liability, expense, charge, damages, claims or other
obligations it may incur as a result of its duties hereunder or any of its actions or inactions as such, except as may result from

of the Sellers, Optionholders and SAR Holders under this Section shall be borne by the Sellers pro rata in accordance with the
proportion of the Purchase Price allocated to each such party in accordance with the Allocation Certificate.

be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic

matter of this Agreement exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the Parties
expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore,
the Parties hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from
arm’s length negotiations, and all Parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship
with another Person that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s
length transaction. Other than in connection with claims involving fraud, the sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the
terms of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein) shall be those remedies available
at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies may be further limited or excluded pursuant to the
express terms of this Agreement), and the Parties hereto hereby waive and release any and all other claims and causes of action
that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

shall have any right or claim against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing Commitment,
whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The Debt Financing Source may enforce this Section 11.15 against all
parties to this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Sellers, together
with the Company, have been substantially involved in and with the Company’s operations and management and possess trade
secrets and other confidential information relating to the Company Business and the Company’s clients, customers, vendors,
suppliers and operations.

 

WHEREAS, it is integral
to Buyer’s acquisition of the Company Business and a condition precedent to the closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement that the Sellers enter into this Agreement with Buyer to provide for the protection of the Combined Business’s
customer and vendor relationships, trade secrets, confidential information and other business operations. Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, Gulf Houghton shall receive cash consideration and shares of Buyer’s capital stock in exchange for the Shares

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and in the Purchase
Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.            Confidentiality;
Non-competition; Non-solicitation.

 

(a)          From
and after the date hereof, each Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning
Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such Seller can show that such information: (i) is generally
available to and known by the public through no fault of any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives or
(ii) is lawfully acquired by such Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the date hereof
from sources that are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If any Seller
or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative
process or by other requirements of Law, such Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion
of such information that such Seller is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed, provided that such Seller
shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment
will be accorded such information.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(b)          Each
Seller agrees that for a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending two years after the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete
Period”), it shall not, other than solely through its direct or indirect ownership of Buyer’s capital stock or
any other interests in Buyer, directly, or indirectly, including through or on behalf of a subsidiary, anywhere in the world,
excluding India: (i) own, manage, operate or control any business which competes with any Combined Business or (ii)
be or become a shareholder, partner, member or owner of any Person who is engaged in any Combined Business; provided, however
that nothing in this Agreement shall:

 

		(i)	prohibit or restrict any Seller, directly or indirectly,
from owning, as a passive investor, not more than five (5%) percent collectively and in the aggregate of any class of outstanding
publicly traded securities of any Person so engaged;

 

		(ii)	prohibit or restrict any Seller, directly or indirectly,
from engaging in such Seller’s business as conducted on the Effective Date and reasonable extensions thereof, which may
include routine, day-to-day transactions with any entity, and

 

		(iii)	apply to or restrict any business of which a Seller acquires
control after the Effective Date provided that the acquired business did not receive more than $25,000,000 of its aggregate net
sales (as measured during the 12 full calendar months prior to such acquisition) from product lines included within the definition
of Company Business.

 

Each Seller agrees that
this covenant is reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means
the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

(c)          Gulf
Oil and Gulf India each agree during the Non-Compete Period not to acquire, directly or indirectly, control of any businesses involved
in, or otherwise competing with, the business of the Combined Business from any entity on Schedule 1 hereto.

 

(d)          Each
Seller agrees that for a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending three years after the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicit
Period”), each Seller shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) induce, solicit, recruit or attempt to persuade any employee
of the Combined Business to terminate his or her employment with the Buyer or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) solicit the employment
of any of the employees of the Combined Business. Notwithstanding the above, Sellers shall not be
restricted from (1) soliciting for employment or hiring former employees of Buyer or the Company (including their respective subsidiaries)
whose employment was terminated by Buyer or the Company (including their respective subsidiaries) at least six months prior to
such initial solicitation by such Seller or (2) soliciting employees of the Combined Business by means of a general solicitation
through a public medium or general or mass mailing that is not specifically targeted at employees or former employees of the Combined
Business; provided, however, that this clause (2) shall not permit any Seller to hire any such employees during the
Non-Solicit Period.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(e)          It
is the intention of the parties that the covenants contained in this Section 1 shall be enforced to the greatest extent
(but to no greater extent) in time, area and degree of participation as is permitted by the Law of that jurisdiction whose Law
is applicable to any acts allegedly in breach of such covenants. To this end, the parties agree that the covenants contained in
this Section 1 shall be construed to extend in time and territory and with respect to degree of participation only so far
as they may be enforced in such jurisdiction, and that the covenants contained in this Section 1 are to that end hereby
declared divisible and severable. It being the purpose of this Section 1 to govern competition by the Sellers and their
respective subsidiaries, the non-competition covenants contained in this Section 1 shall be governed by and construed according
to the Law of all the jurisdictions in which competition in breach of this Agreement is alleged to have occurred or to be threatened
that best gives them effect.

hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and none is exclusive of any other, or of any rights or remedies
that any party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally

original and both of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each
party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart

ARTICLE
3.          Participation rightS

 

3.1.          General.
During the Governance Restricted Period, on the terms and subject to the conditions specified in this ARTICLE 3, in the
event the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first make an offering of such New Securities
to the Direct Shareholder in accordance with the following provisions of this ARTICLE 3; provided however that the filing
of a Form S-3 registration statement pursuant to the Act shall not in and of itself constitute a proposal by the Company to offer
or sell any New Securities for the purposes of this ARTICLE 3 unless and until such time as the Company specifically proposes
to offer and sell any New Securities pursuant to such registration statement. The Company shall have the right to terminate or
withdraw any offering or sale of New Securities by the Company prior to the closing of such offering or sale, whether or not the
Direct Shareholder has elected to exercise its right pursuant to this ARTICLE 3 to purchase any New Securities in such
offering or sale.

 

3.2.          Notice
of Offering. In the event the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall deliver a written notice
(the “Offer Notice”) to the Direct Shareholder stating (a) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities,
(b) the number of such New Securities to be offered, (c) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities
and (d) the date on which the offering is scheduled to close.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

3.3.          Notification
of Exercise. By written notification received by the Company within 30 days after delivery of the Offer Notice, the Direct
Shareholder may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New
Securities which equals the Percentage Ownership of the Direct Shareholder on the date of the Offer Notice (assuming the conversion
and exercise of all rights, options, warrants and similar securities to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock).
In the event that New Securities are sold at different prices in the offering, the Direct Shareholder shall pay, per share, the
weighted average of the prices in the offering.

 

3.4.          Unsubscribed
Securities. The Company may sell any New Securities not subscribed for by the Direct Shareholder in accordance with Sections
3.2 and 3.3 to any Person or Persons at a price not less, and upon other terms not more favorable to the offeree, than
those specified in the Offer Notice. To the extent such New Securities are not sold within 90 days of the delivery of the Offer
Notice, such New Securities shall not be offered to any Person or Persons unless first reoffered to the Direct Shareholder in
accordance with this ARTICLE 3.

 

3.5.          Requirements
of Principal Trading Market. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, by reason
of the listing or other requirements of the Principal Trading Market, the issuance by the Company of any New Securities pursuant
to this ARTICLE 3 requires approval of the Company’s shareholders, then the Company’s obligation to issue and
sell such New Securities to the Direct Shareholder shall be subject to receipt of such shareholder approval, which the Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as soon as possible after the date on which the Direct Shareholder shall otherwise
become entitled to purchase such additional New Securities from the Company pursuant to this ARTICLE 3, provided that this
approval and issuance of New Securities to the Direct Shareholder may occur subsequent to the issuance of New Securities to other
purchasers.

 

ARTICLE
4.          REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

4.1.          Duration
of Registration Rights. As to any particular Registrable Securities, a Holder’s rights to have the Company register
such Registrable Securities provided in this ARTICLE 4 shall terminate (i) when such securities have been registered under
the Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of distribution by the seller or sellers thereof
set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, (ii) when such securities have been transferred
in compliance with Rule 144 under the Act or (iii) on the date as of which such securities have become eligible for sale pursuant
to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with
the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1), as set forth in a written opinion of counsel to such effect,
addressed, delivered and reasonably acceptable to the applicable transfer agent and the Holder(s) of such Registrable Securities,
and, based upon such opinion, the legend referred to in Section 5.5(a) hereof, to the extent that such legend refers to
registration under the Act, shall have been removed.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

4.2.          Demand
Registration Covenant.

 

(a)          If the Holders of at least a majority
of the Registrable Securities then outstanding request in writing (a “Demand Registration Request”) that the
Company register under the Act at least 8% of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders (or a lesser percent if the anticipated
aggregate offering price, net of any underwriting discounts and selling commissions, would exceed $50 million), the Company shall
use reasonable efforts to cause the offering and sale to be registered pursuant to the Act and as provided in this ARTICLE 4
(a “Demand Registration”). In connection therewith the Company shall prepare and as soon as practicable after
receipt of such request file with the Commission a registration statement under the Act covering all Registrable Securities which
the Holders request to be registered (any such form, a “Registration Statement”), which shall, if the Company
is then qualified to do so, be on Form S-3. Each Demand Registration Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities
intended to be offered and sold, shall express such Holder’s present intent to offer such Registrable Securities for distribution,
shall describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale, and shall contain the undertaking of the Holders to comply
with all applicable requirements of this ARTICLE 4.

 

(b)         The Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register the offer and sale of securities under the Act pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Form S-3 (or any successor form). The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause any Registration Statement related to
a Demand Registration to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after receipt of the corresponding Demand
Registration Request. If so requested by any such Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company shall take such steps
as are required to register such Registrable Securities for sale on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 under the Securities
Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3
or the then appropriate form for such an offering (a “Shelf Registration Statement”).

 

(c)         The Company shall not include in any
Demand Registration or any shelf takedown from a Shelf Registration Statement any securities which are not Registrable Securities
without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration
or shelf takedown, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Holders initiating the Demand Registration
Request intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise
the Company as part of their Demand Registration Request and the Company shall include such information in the Registration Statement
(an “Underwritten Offering”). The underwriters shall be one or more Investment Banking Firms selected by the
Holders proposing to distribute their securities in such Demand Registration, provided that such Investment Banking Firms are reasonably
satisfactory to the Company. The Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall, together with
the Company, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Investment Banking Firm or Investment Banking Firms
selected for such underwriting. If, in the written opinion of the Investment Banking Firms, marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten, and if the total amount of securities that the Holders request pursuant to Section
4.2 to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities that the Investment Banking Firms reasonably believe compatible
with the success of the offering, the Company shall only be required to include in the offering the amount of Registrable Securities
that the Investment Banking Firms believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering, and the Registrable Securities that
are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable
Securities owned by each such Holder; provided, however that the Company shall include in such Demand Registration, in order of
priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities that the Holders propose to sell, and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock proposed
to be included therein by any other Persons (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company or other
holders of Common Stock) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

(d)         The Company
shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, during any six (6) month period more than one Demand Registration
that has become effective pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or
to take any action to effect, any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 4.2 (i) after the Company has effected
two Underwritten Offerings pursuant to Section 4.2(c) or (ii) more than once during any twelve (12) month period (provided
that the Registration Statement applicable to such Underwritten Offering became effective). In addition, the Company shall not
be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any Demand Registration from the Closing Date until the date that is six
months after the Closing Date.

 

4.3.          Piggyback
Registration Covenant  . If the Company shall propose registration under the Act of a public offering of Common Stock
(other than pursuant to a registration statement contemplated by section 6.23 of the Purchase Agreement), the Company shall give
prompt written notice of such fact or proposed registration to the Holders and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the registration of such number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Holders as the Holders request, within 20 days after
receipt by the Holders of such notice from the Company, to be included, upon the same terms (including the method of distribution)
of any such offering; provided, however, that: (a) the Company shall not be required to give notice or include such
Common Stock in any such registration if the proposed registration is primarily (i) a registration of a stock option or compensation
plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or (ii) a registration of securities proposed to be issued
by the Company in exchange for securities or assets of, or in connection with the Company’s merger, acquisition or consolidation
with, another entity; and (b) the Company may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, withdraw such Registration
Statement and abandon the proposed offering, provided, however, that the Company promptly gives the Shareholders written notice
of such action.

 

4.4.          Company’s
Obligations in Connection with Registrations. In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities undertaken
by the Company under ARTICLE 4, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonable possible:

 

(a)          in the case of a registration of Registrable
Securities effected by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2, prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
and, upon the request of the Holders, use reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to
120 days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed; provided,
however, that (i) such 120 day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period a Holder refrains, at the
request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration
and (ii) in the case of any Shelf Registration, such 120 day period shall at the request of the Holders be extended for up to 365
days (or, if earlier, until the date as of which the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act without
limitation or restriction under any of the requirements of Rule 144, including volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and the requirement
for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1), as set forth in a written
opinion of counsel to such effect, addressed, delivered and reasonably acceptable to the applicable transfer agent, the Company
and the Holder(s) of such Registrable Securities), if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all such Registrable
Securities are sold;

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

(b)         furnish to the Holders or their underwriters
such copies of any prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus) in conformity with the requirements of the Act and such other
documents as the Holders may reasonably request, in order to facilitate and effect the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities;

 

(c)         use commercially reasonable efforts to
qualify the securities offered under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws of such jurisdictions reasonably requested
by the Holders to enable the Holders to offer and sell the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Company
shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it is not
then qualified;

 

(d)        in the event of any Underwritten Offering,
subject to Section 4.2(d), enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

 

(e)        instruct the transfer agent(s) and the
registrar(s) of the Company’s securities to release any stop transfer orders with respect to the Registrable Securities being
sold;

 

(f)         promptly prepare and file with the Commission
such amendments and prospectus supplements, including post-effective amendments, to the applicable Registration Statement as the
Company determines may be necessary or appropriate, and use commercially reasonable efforts to have such post-effective amendments
declared effective as promptly as practicable; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any prospectus supplement, and
as so supplemented, to be filed with the Commission; and notify the Holders of any securities included in such registration statement
and the underwriters thereof, if any, promptly when a prospectus, any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment must be
filed or has been filed and, with respect to any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, and make the same
available to such Holders and their underwriters;

 

(g)         furnish to each Holder and the underwriter
thereof, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to each Holder and underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the
Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary
form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the Holders
or such underwriters may reasonably request; and

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

(h)         use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed in the Principal Trading Market, and on each securities exchange on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed.

 

4.5.          Conditions
to Obligations of Company Under Registration Covenants. The Company’s obligations to register the Registrable Securities
owned by the Holders under ARTICLE 4 are subject to the following conditions:

 

(a)         The Company shall be entitled to postpone
for up to 90 days the filing of any Registration Statement under Section 4.2, if at the time it receives the request for
registration the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that such registration and offering would (i) require premature disclosure
of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, (ii) render the Company
unable to comply with requirements under the Act or the Exchange Act or (iii) materially interfere with any significant financing,
acquisition, corporate reorganization, Company-initiated registration or other transaction involving the Company or any of its
Affiliates; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month
period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any
other stockholder during while such postponement is in effect. The Company shall promptly give the Holders written notice of such
determination.

 

(b)         The Company may require that the number
of shares of Registrable Securities offered for sale by a Holder pursuant to a request for registration under Section 4.3
be decreased or excluded entirely if, in the opinion of Company’s Investment Banking Firm, marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten and the total amount of securities that the Holders request pursuant to Section 4.3
to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities that such Investment Banking Firm reasonably believes compatible
with the success of such offering. If the Company shall require such a reduction, each Holder shall have the right to withdraw
from the offering. For purposes of Section 4.2(d), a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as
a result of the foregoing, more than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested
to be included in such Registration Statement are actually excluded.

 

(c)         If a Holder requests registration pursuant
to Section 4.2, the Company will, subject to Section 4.2(d), enter into an underwriting agreement containing terms
customarily included in underwriting agreements with an issuer for a secondary distribution.

 

(d)         Each Holder that holds Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not sell in excess of 10% of the then outstanding
Common Stock to one Person or Group.

 

(e)         Each Holder whose Registrable Securities
are being registered, and each underwriter designated by such Holder, will furnish to the Company such information and materials
as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company. To the
extent possible the Holders shall provide the Company with any information and materials required to obtain acceleration of the
effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

(f)         Each Holder that holds Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement shall not (until further written notice) effect sales thereof after receipt of written notice
from the Company to suspend sales, to permit the Company to correct or update a Registration Statement or prospectus; provided,
however, that the obligations of the Company with respect to maintaining any Registration Statement current and effective
shall be extended by a period of days equal to the period such suspension is in effect.

 

(g)         At the end of the period during which
the Company is obligated to keep any Registration Statement current and effective (and any extensions thereof required by the preceding
paragraph), and upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the securities covered by
such Registration Statement that remain unsold, Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement shall
discontinue sales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, and each such Holder shall notify the
Company of the number of shares registered belonging to such Holder that remain unsold promptly following receipt of such notice
from the Company.

 

(h)         In connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to ARTICLE 4 that is effected by means of an Underwritten Offering, the Holders shall, if
required by the underwriters, enter into customary agreements with the underwriters in connection with any such offering pursuant
to which each Holder shall agree not to (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase
any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Equity
Securities, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Holder or with respect to which such Holder has or hereafter acquires
the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement
or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up
Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Equity Securities or other securities, in cash
or otherwise (in each case, other than those Registrable Securities included in such registration pursuant to this ARTICLE 4
and subject to other customary exceptions) without the prior written consent of the Company (and any underwriters of such offering),
for a period designated by the Company in writing to the Holder, which period shall not begin more than 10 days prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement pursuant to which such offering shall be made and shall not last more than 90 days after the effective
date of such registration statement.

 

4.6.          Suspension
of Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Shareholder that intends to sell
or distribute Registrable Securities registered under a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 shall,
at least two Business Days prior to such sale or distribution, provide written notice thereof to the Company (a “Sale
Notice”) and such Holder shall not sell or distribute such Registrable Securities unless it has timely provided such
Sale Notice and until the expiration of such two-Business Day period. If, in response to a Sale Notice, the Company provides to
such Holder a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company,
such sale or distribution would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under
Law and the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such information (the “Restriction”),
then the Company may, by written notice thereof to such Holder (a “Suspension Notice”), suspend use of such
Registration Statement by such Holder until the expiration of the Restriction (a “Suspension”). Upon receipt
of a Suspension Notice, such Holder shall suspend all sales and distributions of Registrable Securities and suspend use of the
applicable prospectus and any issuer free writing prospectuses in connection with all such sales and distributions. The Company
shall promptly notify such Holder upon the termination of a Suspension.

4.7.          Expenses.

  

(a)         All expenses (other than Selling Expenses)
incurred in connection with registrations, filings, qualifications and distributions of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
ARTICLE 4 including (i) all registration, filing and qualification fees, (ii) underwriting expenses (other than discounts
or selling commissions); (iii) printers’ and accounting fees and disbursements and (v) fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company, shall be borne and paid by the Company. As used herein, “Selling Expenses” shall mean all underwriting
discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes attributable to the Holders’ sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to this Agreement and all fees and disbursements of counsel for any Holder.

 

(b)        Selling Expenses relating to the offer
and sale of Registrable Securities registered under the Act pursuant to this Agreement , including without limitation fees and
disbursements of counsel to the selling Holders, shall be borne by the Holders, pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable
Securities included in such registration for each such Holder; provided, however, that if any individual Holder retains separate
counsel, it shall be responsible for 100% of the fees and disbursements of that separate counsel.

 

4.8.          Indemnification.

 

(a)        In the case of each registration effected
by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, to the extent permitted by law, the Company (in such capacity, an
“indemnifying party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers and directors, stockholders,
legal counsel, accountants, and each underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act for such Holder, against any and all
losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act
or any other statute or common law, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, if such
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, and to reimburse them for any legal or other expenses incurred
by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Registration Statement relating to the sale of such securities, or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, if
used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus or any free-writing prospectus
(as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) if
used within the period during which Company is required to keep the Registration Statement to which such prospectus relates current
under Section 4.4 (including any extensions of such period as provided in Section 4.5), or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein (if so used) a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 4.8(a) shall not (x) apply to such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions arising out
of, or based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, if such statement
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter
for use in connection with preparation of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus contained in
the Registration Statement, any free-writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (y) inure to the benefit of
any underwriter or any Person controlling such underwriter, if such underwriter failed to send or give a copy of the final prospectus
to the Person asserting the claim at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such Person and if
the untrue statement or omission concerned had been corrected in such final prospectus.

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

(b)          In the case of each registration effected
by Company pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 above, each Holder and each underwriter of the securities to be registered
(each such party and such underwriters being referred to severally, in such capacity, as an “indemnifying party”)
shall agree in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 4.8(a) to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each Person (if any) who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, the directors of the Company
and those officers of the Company who shall have signed any such Registration Statement, with respect to any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from, such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or any free-writing prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if amended
or supplemented) contained in such Registration Statement, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by such indemnifying party for use in connection with the preparation of such
Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, any free-writing
prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several,
not joint and several, for each Holder and shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions
or discounts) actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

(c)          Each indemnified party will, promptly
after receipt of written notice of the commencement of an action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may
be sought under this Section 4.8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall so notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, with the approval of any indemnified parties, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, and to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 4.8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party) to participate in the defense thereof,
but the costs, fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the sole expense of such indemnified party unless the named parties to
such action or proceedings include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnifying party or such indemnified
party shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party
in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party, as the case may
be, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any such action or proceeding or separate
or substantially similar or related action or proceeding in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel at any time for the indemnifying
party and all indemnified parties). If the indemnifying party withholds consent to a settlement or proposed settlement by the indemnified
party, it shall acknowledge to the indemnified party its indemnification obligations hereunder. The indemnity agreements in this
Section 4.8 shall be in addition to any liabilities which the indemnifying parties may have pursuant to law.

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

(d)          If the indemnification provided for in
this Section 4.8 from an indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect to any losses, claims,
damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, costs,
expenses, liabilities or actions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying
party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying
party or indemnified party and that party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information supplied by such indemnifying
party or indemnified party and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities and actions referred to above shall be deemed to include
any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action,
suit, proceeding or claim.

 

4.9.          Delay
of Registration.    No Shareholder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any
registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this ARTICLE 4.

 

4.10.         Preservation
of Rights. The Company shall not (a) grant any registration rights to third parties which are more favorable than or
inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder, or (b) enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to
occur, with respect to its securities that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the Holders in this
Agreement.

ARTICLE
5.          CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND COMPANY

 

5.1.          Negative
Covenant regarding Hostile Activity. During the Governance Restricted Period, each Shareholder shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Board and then only to the extent written consent has been obtained: directly or indirectly, solicit proxies,
become a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined under Regulation 14A under the Exchange
Act), publicly support, knowingly facilitate, initiate, vote in favor of or sell or tender into any Change in Control or Change
in Control Proposal that has not been approved by a majority of the Board or by Independent Director Approval; provided, however,
that nothing in this Agreement is intended to restrict the rights or actions of the Shareholder Designees in their capacity as
directors of the Company, including their participation in discussions with other members of the Board, any committee thereof,
or Company management, or their decisions to vote as directors in favor of or against a Change in Control Proposal or any other
Company action.

 

5.2.          Voting
Agreement. During the Governance Restricted Period, each Shareholder shall cause each share of Shareholder Common Stock owned
by such Shareholder to be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board set forth in each proxy statement of the Company
with regard to persons nominated to serve as members of the Board in such proxy statement and for the election of no other Person;
provided, however, that the Shareholders shall not be required to vote in favor of any Board nominees if the seating of such nominees
would preclude the election or appointment of the Shareholder Designees as contemplated in Article 6.

 

5.3.          Independent
Director Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Shareholder may publicly support,
vote in favor of, approve and tender into any transaction to the extent such transaction has received Independent Director Approval.

 

5.4.          Acquisitions,
Transfers and Votes in Contravention of Agreement. Without limiting any remedies that the Company may be entitled to:

 

(a)         any Equity Securities acquired or transferred
by a Shareholder in contravention of this Agreement may not be voted on any matter on which shareholders of the Company are entitled
to vote, any attempt to vote such Equity Securities shall be a breach of this Agreement and the Company shall not be required to
count any such votes, if cast, in determining the result of shareholder voting on any matter; and

 

(b)         the Company shall not be required to
count, in determining the result of shareholder voting on any matter, any vote of an Equity Security Beneficially Owned by a Shareholder

(a)         The Shareholders agree:

 

    	 	16	 

     

    

 

(i)          that
each book entry position evidencing the shares of Shareholder Common Stock shall bear the following legend:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSITION
SET FORTH IN AND TO THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF A SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT, DATED [●], 2017, BETWEEN QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION
AND THE OTHER SIGNATORIES THERETO. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE AT THE OFFICE OF QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION.”;

 

and such additional legends designed to ensure compliance with federal
and state laws as counsel for the Company may reasonably request; and

 

(ii)         to
the entry of stop transfer orders with the transfer agents of any shares of Shareholder Common Stock against the transfer of any
shares of Shareholder Common Stock, except in compliance with this Agreement.

 

(b)         The Company agrees that it will, upon
receipt of an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the applicable Shareholder that it is appropriate
to do, instruct the transfer agents of any shares of Shareholder Common Stock to remove legends provided for in Section 5.5(a)
and withdraw the stop transfer orders provided for in Section 5.5(b) with respect to such shares of Shareholder Common Stock,
(i) to the extent shares of Shareholder Common Stock are sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with this Agreement and (ii)
upon termination of this Agreement.

 

5.6.          Rule
144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the Shareholders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Act (“Rule

as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Act and the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE
6.          BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

6.1.          Appointment
of Directors. The parties acknowledge that the Board has appointed the [three]2 individuals designated by the Direct
Shareholder under the Purchase Agreement (who meet the qualifications identified in Section 6.3(a)) to fill the Board Vacancies,
with each to serve on a different class of the Board, and that at least one of such Shareholder Designees has been appointed to
the Board’s audit committee, compensation/management development committee, executive committee, and governance committee.

 

6.2.          Vacancies.
In the event of the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of any Shareholder Designee for any
reason, the Shareholders shall have the right, subject to Section 6.3, to designate a replacement for such Shareholder
Designee who satisfies the requirements of Sections 6.3(a)(i)-(iii) to fill such vacancy, and the Company shall use reasonable
best efforts to cause the Board, subject to the directors’ fiduciary duties, to approve and appoint such replacement.

 

6.3.          Board
and Committee Representation.

 

(a)         Subject to Section 6.3(d), the
Shareholders shall have the right to nominate a number of individuals for election to the Board at the annual meetings of the Company’s
shareholders so as to provide the Shareholders with that percentage representation on the Board (based on the size of the Board
at the relevant time of determination) as set forth below, provided that each such nominee is then (i) qualified to serve as a
member of the Board pursuant to the Company’s corporate governance policies, the requirements of the Principal Trading Market
and applicable Law, in each case, as in effect at the applicable time and (ii) willing to serve as a member of the Board and to
comply with the Company’s corporate governance policies, the requirements of the Principal Trading Market and applicable
Law (including, without limitation, by filing any necessary or advisable reports with, or providing information to, the Commission). 
Subject to the foregoing but notwithstanding the immediately following sentence, any such nominee may be an Affiliate of a Shareholder
(other than an officer or employee of a Shareholder or an Affiliate of a Shareholder).  In addition, any such person shall
not be eligible for nomination for election if he or she shall have been determined, by a majority of the Independent Directors,
to be an employee, officer, director or Affiliate of, or a consultant, representative, independent contractor or agent for, directly
or indirectly, a Person that is a competitor of the Company.  Each Shareholder Designee shall serve on a different class of
the Board. For purposes of this Section 6.3, the Shareholders shall have the right to nominate: three individuals for election
to the Board for so long as their aggregate Percentage Ownership as of the record date for such meeting exceeds 19%; two individuals
for so long as such percentage exceeds 14%,  and one individual for so long as such percentage exceeds 10%; provided that
if the Company and the Sellers’ Representative (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) mutually agree pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement to set the size of the Board at nine directors, then the parties shall mutually agree on different Percentage Ownership
percentages than those set forth in this sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Shareholders’ rights pursuant
to Section 6.3(a), the Company may set the size of the Board.

 

 

2 NTD: Conforming changes to be
made if number of directors changes pursuant to the mutual agreement of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

    	 	18	 

     

    

 

(b)         The Company shall use reasonable best
efforts to cause each member of the Board to, subject to their fiduciary duties, recommend, in each proxy statement of the Company
that sets forth nominees for election to the Board, that the shareholders of the Company vote in favor of the election to the Board
of any individuals designated for nomination by the Shareholders pursuant to this Article 6.  If a designated individual
nominated by the Shareholders is not elected to the Board by the shareholders of the Company, the Company shall use reasonable
best efforts to cause the Board, subject to the directors’ fiduciary duties, to appoint a replacement designated by the Shareholders
to serve instead of such individual.

 

(c)         For so long as any Shareholder Designee
is on the Board a Shareholder Designee shall have the right to be a member of each committee of the Board on which he or she is
qualified to serve as a member of the committee pursuant to the requirements of the Principal Trading Market, applicable Law and
the Company’s corporate governance policies, in each case, as in effect at the applicable time.

 

(d)         In the event that, at any time, the number
of Shareholder Designees exceeds the number of individuals that the Shareholders are entitled to nominate for election to the Board
pursuant to Section 6.3(a), the Shareholders shall cause all Shareholder Designees in excess of such number to immediately
resign from the Board (and all committees thereof) so that the number of Shareholder Designees does not exceed the number of individuals
that the Shareholders are entitled to nominate for election to the Board pursuant to Section 6.3(a).  In the event
that, at any time, the Percentage Ownership of the Shareholders is less than 10%, the Shareholders shall cause all Shareholder
Designees to immediately resign from the Board (and from all committees thereof) and the Shareholders shall have no right to nominate
under this Agreement any representative for election to the Board (and the Company shall have no obligation with respect to any
representative of the Shareholders being nominated to the Board).  The Company acknowledges that a Shareholder Designee is
eligible to be elected as lead independent director by the Independent Directors, provided that he or she satisfies the applicable
requirements of such position of Law, and of the Principal Trading Market.

 

6.4.          Removal.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impair the rights that the shareholders of the Company may have to remove any member
of the Board with or without cause.

 

ARTICLE
7.          No prior ownership

 

7.1.          No

hereof, the only Equity Securities or other securities (including convertible securities) of the Company owned or Beneficially
Owned by any Shareholder is the Shareholder Common Stock.

transfers any shares of the Company to an Affiliate pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or Section 2.3(a), and such Affiliate
agrees in writing to be bound by all of the obligations of such transferring Shareholder hereunder, then no such consent shall
be required and the rights of the Shareholder under this Agreement in respect of the transferred shares shall be assigned to the
Affiliate transferee. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.
