 ARTICLE II 
  
 PURCHASE OF REQUIREMENTS 
  
 2.1. Purchase of Capacity. (a) Subject to the other
provisions of this Article II, Purchaser agrees to purchase from Supplier and Supplier agrees to sell to Purchaser an amount of Plastic Components equal to no less than 90% of the total capacity of the Newark Assets. 
  
 (b) At least 60 days prior to the beginning of each year, Purchaser shall provide Supplier with a non-binding forecast for
the Plastic Components that it will purchase from Supplier during such year, which shall represent a good faith estimate of Purchaser’s expected purchases for such year. On or before the 15th day of each month, Purchaser shall submit a firm order for production during the following month (a “Production Request”), which
shall not exceed the capacity of the Newark Assets, and a non-binding forecast for the following two months, which forecast shall represent a good faith estimate of Purchaser’s requirements for such two months. Purchaser shall be deemed to
purchase, and shall be responsible for payment to Supplier for, any Plastic Components manufactured by Supplier in response to a Production Request, regardless of whether Purchaser submits a Release Request for such Plastic Components. In addition,
to maximize utilization of the Newark Assets, Supplier may produce Plastic Components based upon Purchaser’s non-binding forecasts. If Purchaser provides its written consent to such production, Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase, and shall
be responsible for payment to Supplier for, any Plastic Components manufactured by Supplier in response to such forecast, regardless of whether Purchaser submits a Release Request for such Plastic Components. 
  
 (c) From time to time Purchaser may submit requests to release Plastic Components for shipment (“Release
Requests”) to Supplier. Upon receipt of a Release Request, Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Release Request; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be obligated to utilize
production equipment other than the Newark Assets, and Supplier is obligated to provide manning as required to meet Production
 

 
 3 

 
Requests. In the event that the aggregate amount of Plastic Components requested for release during a month exceeds that month’s Production Request, Supplier shall nevertheless use its
commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Release Request; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be obligated to utilize production equipment other than the Newark Assets. With respect to Release Requests that (in
the aggregate, if applicable) do not exceed the relevant month’s Production Request, Supplier will ship no less than 98% of the released Plastic Components to the Crown Customer or Crown Facilities, as directed by Purchaser, OTIF (on time, in
full). The measurement of OTIF shipments shall conform to historic practices of the Newark Facility. If Supplier is unable to satisfy a Release Request, Supplier shall promptly notify Purchaser. After such notification, Purchaser may, at its option,
direct Supplier to resequence utilization of the Newark Assets to satisfy the Release Request; provided, however, that Supplier shall be under no obligation to resequence utilization of the Newark Assets if such resequencing would
adversely effect Supplier’s other operations at the Newark Facility. Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase, and shall be responsible for payment to Supplier for, any Plastic Components shipped by Supplier in response to a Release Request,
regardless of whether the Crown Customer ultimately pays Purchaser for such Plastic Components. Supplier shall not be responsible for collecting payment from the Crown Customer for Plastic Components manufactured and shipped hereunder. 

 
 (d) Consistent with historic practices at the Newark Facility, Purchaser shall provide Supplier, at
Supplier’s cost, with resin necessary to produce the Plastic Components. Supplier shall not be deemed to breach this Agreement as a result of, and shall have no liability to Purchaser for, any failure to perform its obligations hereunder that
results from the failure of Purchaser to provide Supplier with resin necessary to produce the Plastic Components. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall not be required to manufacture and/or ship any specific Plastic Components if Supplier reasonably determines that any such manufacture or shipment will result in a material violation
of any applicable governmental laws or regulations. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  

PRICE 
  
 3.1. Pricing. (a)
For Existing Plastic Components, Purchaser will pay to Supplier the prices set forth on Schedule A hereto for the relevant Plastic Components purchased pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (b) For New Plastic Components, mutually agreeable pricing will be established between Supplier and Purchaser on a case-by-case basis. Supplier shall have
no obligation to supply, and Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase, New Plastic Components for which pricing cannot be agreed upon and any such New Plastic Components shall not be calculated in the requirements commitment set forth in
Section 2.1(a). If pricing of New Plastic Components is agreed upon, such New Plastic Components shall be calculated in such requirements commitment.

 ARTICLE IV 
  
 DELIVERY 
  
 4.1. Delivery. All
Plastic Components sold under this Agreement shall be delivered at the designated customer specified on Schedule B hereto (the “Crown Customer”) or at one of Purchaser’s facilities specified on Schedule B hereto
(the “Crown Facilities”). Title and risk of loss or damages to all Plastic Components shall pass to Purchaser upon acceptance by the Crown Customer or Crown Facility. Purchaser shall pay for all freight and other costs associated
with shipment of Plastic Components to the location of delivery and any such costs incurred by Supplier shall be included on the invoice for the relevant Plastic Components. Supplier shall furnish the facilities and personnel for loading Plastic
Components at the Newark Facility. 
  
 4.2. Payment. Supplier shall provide invoices to Purchaser for Plastic
Components and, if applicable, shipping or other charges upon the earlier of (i) shipment of such Plastic Components pursuant to a Release Request or (ii) 90 days from the date of acceptance of the Production Request pursuant to which such Plastic
Components were produced. All invoices from Supplier to Purchaser for Plastic Components shall be paid by Purchaser (i) by the last Business Day of the month for invoices dated on or before the 14th day of any month or (ii) by the 15th day of the following month for invoices dated on or after the 15th
day of any month. 
  
 4.3. Security Documents. Purchaser agrees to take all such actions and execute all such
documents and instruments as are reasonably requested by Supplier to establish and protect Supplier’s first priority purchase money security interest in all Plastic Components directly or indirectly supplied to or on behalf of Purchaser as
security for Purchaser’s obligations to pay Supplier for Plastic Components supplied hereunder. 
  
 4.4.
Documents and Reporting. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other party in a timely fashion all such documents and reports as are reasonably requested by the other party with respect to forecasting and budgeting, production,
inventory, equipment maintenance, parts usage, and shipments, including Bills of Lading, routine correspondence with customers, releases, and all reports and supporting documents that were commonly provided prior to the Initial Public Offering Date.

  
 4.5. Packaging Materials. Pallets, cartons and any other necessary packaging materials shall be provided
by Purchaser, and shall remain the property of the Purchaser. Purchaser may supply such packaging materials directly, or may agree to reimburse Supplier for purchases made by Supplier at the written instruction of Purchaser. Supplier agrees to
maintain and report inventory of all such packaging materials in use or on hand, and with respect to packaging materials at the Crown Customer site, shall be responsible for customary practices of managing the prompt and complete return of packaging
materials in good usable form from the Crown Customer, and for maintaining a perpetual inventory of packaging materials at the customer location (which packaging materials shall be supplied at Purchaser’s cost). Supplier
 

 
 5 

 
shall maintain packaging materials in a way that is consistent with historical practices. Supplier shall provide at least 60 days forecast to Purchaser of packaging requirements or surplus.

  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 LEASE OF RELATED ASSETS 
  
 5.1. Lease and Removal of Newark Assets. The Newark Assets
shall remain at the Newark Facility and Supplier shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article V, lease the Newark Assets from Purchaser for the Term (the “Lease”). Within 90 days after the last day of the
Term, Purchaser shall remove, at its expense, and shall be solely responsible for removing, the Newark Assets from the Newark Facility (the “Transfer Date”). Purchaser shall provide Supplier with written notice of the Transfer Date
at least 60 Business Days prior to the Transfer Date. If the Newark Assets shall not be removed on or prior to Transfer Date, Purchaser shall reimburse Supplier for all costs and expenses incurred by Supplier on account of maintaining and storing
the Newark Assets at the Newark Facility as a result of such non-removal until Purchaser removes the Newark Assets. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Supplier shall have no responsibilities or
obligations of any kind, including, without limitation, as to operation, storage, insurance or maintenance, with respect to the Newark Assets after the Transfer Date. 
  
 5.2. Rent. Consideration for the lease of Newark Assets from Purchaser to Supplier for the Term is incorporated in the prices for Existing Plastic Components
included in Schedule A and will be included in the prices for any New Plastic Components. 
  
 5.3.
Insurance. Supplier shall maintain adequate insurance with respect to the Newark Assets insuring against such risks customarily insured against in accordance with Supplier’s practice until their removal from the Newark Facility by
Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.1 or until 90 days after the Term, whichever is earlier. Supplier shall, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, provide evidence of insurance and appropriate loss payable endorsements in favor of Purchaser.

  
 5.4. Employees. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, between Crown and Constar, on the Transfer Date, Purchaser shall have the option to offer employment to those employees whose primary responsibilities relate to the Newark Assets (the “Employees”). Regardless of whether
Purchaser exercises such option, Purchaser shall pay, and shall indemnify the Supplier and its Affiliates for any costs related to, any severance payments payable to the Employees in connection with the termination of their employment with the
Supplier or its Affiliates if (i) such termination occurs, or notice of such termination is provided to such Employee, during the Term of this Agreement or within 120 days after the termination or expiration of this Agreement and (ii) such
termination relates to or results from the loss of sales governed by this Agreement or a reduction in the volume of PET Products sold under this Agreement. Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to re-deploy
 

 
 6 

 
the Employees within Supplier’s workforce to reduce the amount payable pursuant to this Section 5.4. 
  
 5.5. Maintenance and Improvements. During the Term, Supplier shall keep the Newark Assets in good operating order, repair condition and appearance and in accordance with normal industry
standards, normal wear and tear and impairments of value excepted. The Newark Assets shall be maintained by Supplier as directed by Purchaser and consistent with Purchaser’s then-current procedures for preventative maintenance and operating
procedures including weekly and annual preventative maintenance work. Consideration for the maintenance of Newark Assets by Supplier for the Term is incorporated in the prices for Existing Plastic Components included in Schedule A and will be
included in the prices for any New Plastic Components. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser, and not Supplier or any of its Affiliates, shall be obliged to conduct, or cause to be conducted, mold refurbishments reasonably required to maintain
the Newark Assets and shall be responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing any Newark Assets that are defective or malfunctioning (except to the extent that such defects or malfunctions arise as a result of Supplier’s failure to maintain
the Newark Assets in accordance with the first two sentences of this Section 5.5). Prior to the start of each calendar year, Supplier shall provide Purchaser with an estimate of capital investments with respect to the Newark Assets for the next
year. Neither Supplier nor any of its Affiliates shall make any capital expenditures with respect to the Newark Assets without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Upon receipt of such consent, Supplier shall make, or cause to be made, such
capital expenditures and shall invoice Purchaser for any expenses incurred in undertaking such capital expenditures. If Purchaser does not consent to, or agree to reimburse Supplier for any such capital expenditures, neither Supplier nor any of its
Affiliates shall have any obligation to make such capital expenditures and none of them shall be liable for any interruptions or deficiencies if the supply of Plastic Components under this Agreement, any deterioration of the Newark Assets or any
other liability, arising out of or resulting from the failure to make any such capital expenditure. The parties agree that capital expenditures subject to approval and reimbursement by Purchaser shall not include costs associated with routine
maintenance (other than mold refurbishments) covered by the first two sentences of this Section 5.5. 
  
 5.6.
Warranties. During the Term, Purchaser assigns to Supplier, and Supplier may have the benefit of any and all manufacturers’ warranties, service agreements and patent indemnities (copies of same to be provided to Supplier), if any, with
respect to the Newark Assets, to the extent assignable by Purchaser, until they are removed by Purchaser. 
  
 5.7.
No Interference. Purchaser covenants that it shall not grant or convey any interest that, if used or enjoyed in accordance with its terms, would interfere with the use, enjoyment, or operation of the Newark Assets by Supplier, its Affiliates
or their respective permitted successors, assigns or subtenants at any time prior to the removal of the Newark Assets by Purchaser; provided, that Purchaser shall be permitted to grant a security interest in the Newark Assets to secure the
indebtedness of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. 

 
 7 

  
 5.8. Possession and Quiet Enjoyment. Purchaser covenants with Supplier
that Supplier and its Affiliates will enjoy quiet possession of the Newark Assets and the right to use the Newark Assets free from claims of persons in possession and third parties claiming rights thereto. 
  
 5.9. Access. Prior to the Transfer Date, representatives of Purchaser may, at their own expense, during normal business hours and
upon reasonable notice, inspect the Newark Assets and have access to the Employees; provided, that a representative of Supplier shall be present at all such times; and, provided, further, that no exercise of such inspection
shall materially interfere with the normal operation of the Newark Assets or the business of Supplier. 
  
 ARTICLE VI

  
 TERM, DEFAULT AND OTHER PROVISIONS 
  
 6.1. Term. This Agreement shall commence upon the Initial Public Offering Date and shall continue for a period of 2 years (such 2 year period, the “Initial
Term”). The Initial Term may be extended for an additional 2 years upon mutual written agreement between Supplier and Purchaser on the terms contained therein (the Initial Term, as so extended, the “Term”). 

 
 6.2. Events of Default. (a) The following shall be considered events of default and shall give rise to a right of
Supplier to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of Supplier’s discovery of such event of default: (i) Purchaser fails to make timely payments for invoiced Plastic Components, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such
breach, (ii) Purchaser materially breaches any other applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (iii) Purchaser or Crown experiences a change of Control such that Purchaser or Crown
is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown (provided that such termination shall not be effective until six months from the date of the Change of Control). If Purchaser or Crown suffers a Bankruptcy Event, Supplier shall have the right
to unilaterally make reasonable modifications to the payment terms set forth in Section 4.2 of the Agreement at any time after such Bankruptcy Event. Supplier shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such modifications to the payment terms of this
Agreement. 
  
 (b) The following shall be considered events of default and shall give rise to a right
of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of Purchaser’s discovery of such event of default: (i) Supplier materially breaches any applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such
breach or (ii) Supplier or Constar experiences a change of Control such that Supplier or Constar is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown (provided that such termination shall not be effective until six months from the date of the
Change of Control). 
  
 (c) Each party shall provide the other party with prompt notice upon
discovery of a default by the other party; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not limit or restrict the ability of a party to terminate this Agreement subject to the cure periods provided in this Section 6.2. 

 
 8 

  
 6.3. No Waiver. If the party not in default continues to make or accept
shipments, as the case may be, despite the other party’s default, such action shall not constitute a waiver of the default, or in any way affect the rights under this Agreement of the party not in default. A waiver by either party of any breach
of any provision shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any other provision. 
  
 6.4. Force Majeure. Neither Supplier nor Purchaser shall be responsible for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond their respective control, including, without limitation, earthquake, fire, storm, flood,
freeze, labor disputes, transportation embargoes, acts of God or of any government and acts of war or terrorism (any of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”) Any party, if affected by any such cause, may, upon written notice to
the other specifying the reasons therefor, reduce its obligations to the other by an amount not in excess of the quantity that it is unable to deliver or purchase due to such cause. In the event such a curtailment by either party continues in whole
or in part for a period of 5 continuous days, then, in the case of a Supplier Force Majeure Event, Purchaser may arrange for temporary supply of its requirements until Supplier can resume delivery of Plastic Components to Purchaser, and, in the case
of a Purchaser Force Majeure Event, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to sell to third parties those Plastic Components which would have been delivered to a Crown Facility or the Crown Customer on Purchaser’s behalf (in accordance with
Purchaser’s delivery schedule) in the absence of such curtailment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this provision shall not apply to or otherwise excuse the failure to pay any uncontested costs or fees due under this
Agreement when due (including payment for Plastic Components produced in accordance with Section 2.1, regardless of whether Purchaser submits a Release Request for such Plastic Components). 
  
 6.5. Warranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Supplier warrants that all Plastic Components sold to Purchaser (i) shall be free from defects in workmanship and
materials, except for any defects arising out of actions taken by or at the direction of Purchaser or materials provided by or on behalf of Purchaser and (ii) shall comply with the historical specifications for Existing Plastic Components and with
any agreed upon specifications for New Plastic Components. Supplier’s liability under this warranty, whether in contract or tort, shall be limited exclusively to the repayment of the purchase price of the defective Plastic Components. Supplier
will make no other warranties with respect to the Plastic Components. OTHER THAN THE ABOVE WARRANTY, SUPPLIER MAKES NO WARRANTY, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR OTHERWISE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR BY LAW, AND SUPPLIER SHALL HAVE NO
FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY UNDER THE ABOVE WARRANTY OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS. SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, SUPPLIER SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. 
  
 (b) Purchaser agrees to waive all claims for shortages in the Plastic Components ordered and received hereunder unless
such claims are submitted in writing to Supplier within 30 days after receipt of the Plastic Components by the Crown Facility or receipt of notice from the Crown Customer of such shortage. 

 
 9 

  
 (c) Subject to the above provisions, Purchaser shall not bring
any other action arising hereunder unless such action is brought within one year after the date such cause of action accrues. 
  
 (d) Supplier shall not be liable for, and Purchaser assumes responsibility for, all personal injury and property damage resulting from the handling, possession, use or resale of the Plastic Components
produced hereunder after such Plastic Components are delivered to the Crown Facility or the Crown Customer, whether the same is used alone or in combination with other substances, except to the extent any such personal injury or property damage
results from the willful misconduct of Supplier. 
  
 6.6. Confidentiality; Disclosures. 

 
 6.6.1. Confidentiality. The parties agree (a) to maintain all information, whether in written, oral,
electronic or other form, necessary for or utilized or received pursuant to any terms of this Agreement, as the case may be, including, without limitation, prices, payment terms, technical knowledge, features, know-how, material, manufacturing,

by the disclosing party). Each party shall accept responsibility and be liable for any disclosure by any third person of any Confidential Information disclosed to such third person by such party. The parties will use the same measures to maintain
the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of any other party in its possession or control that it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of similar type and importance. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either party or their Affiliates may describe this Agreement in, and include this Agreement with, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any related prospectuses, including such filings or prospectuses in connection
with any offering of securities. Confidential Information will not include information that (i) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement, or (ii) the receiving party lawfully receives from a third party without restriction
on disclosure and, to the receiving party’s knowledge, without breach of a nondisclosure obligation. 
  
 6.6.2. Disclosure to Governmental Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be permitted to disclose the Confidential Information and/or any portion thereof (i) to a governmental agency or authority as required
in response to a subpoena therefor, (ii) in connection with formal requests for discovery under applicable rules of civil procedure in a legal action before a court of competent jurisdiction to which such party is a party and (iii) as otherwise
required by law; provided, however, that, in any such case, each party shall notify the other party as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow such party to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality
of such information at the expense of such party. 

 
 10 

  
 6.6.3. Ownership of Information. All Confidential
Information supplied or developed by either party will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the party who supplied or developed it; provided, however, that any inventions, discoveries, technical knowledge or know-how
relating to the manufacture or sale of plastic rings for combination closures, press-on bands and plastic closures and arising from the Newark Assets or the production of Plastic Components pursuant to this Agreement shall belong exclusively to
Purchaser and Supplier hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Purchaser all rights of every kind, nature or description that Supplier may have in or to such inventions, discoveries, technological knowledge or know-how.

  
 6.6.4. Return of Confidential Information. Upon the written request of a party which has
disclosed information covered by Section 6.6 in written, printed or other tangible form, all such readily available information and all copies thereof, including samples or materials, and all notes or other materials derived from such information
shall be returned to the party which disclosed such information. 
  
 6.7. Right of Setoff. Purchaser and
Supplier shall waive all rights of setoff and recoupment either may have against the other or any of the other’s Affiliates with respect to all amounts which may be owed from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 6.8. Indemnification. With respect to Plastic Components manufactured by Supplier pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall
defend, indemnify and hold Supplier and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and permitted assigns harmless against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of (i) the manufacture,
use or sale of such Plastic Components or any products liability arising therefrom (except any liability directly related to and directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Supplier in manufacturing the Plastic Components) and
(ii) all claims, suits or actions for bodily injuries suffered in connection with the operations or maintenance of the Newark Assets and arising out of Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, negligence or willful misconduct. Furthermore,
Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Supplier and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and permitted assigns harmless against all damages, claims, judgments, decrees, costs, expenses and demands for
unfair competition or infringement of any United States or foreign trademark or copyright as a direct result of Supplier’s manufacture of Plastic Components for Purchaser conforming to the specifications required by Purchaser or the failure of
such conforming Plastic Components to comply with any federal, state, local or other law or regulation. Supplier shall not settle any claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 7.4.4. The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, as modified or revised by the provisions of this Section 7.4, shall govern any arbitration proceeding
hereunder. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators selected pursuant to Rule 13 of the Commercial Arbitration Rules, and pre-hearing discovery shall be permitted if and only to the extent determined by the arbitrator to be necessary
in order to effectuate resolution of the matter in dispute. The arbitrator’s decision shall be rendered within 30 days of the conclusion of any hearing hereunder and the arbitrator’s judgment and award may be entered and enforced in any
court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 7.4.5. Resolution of disputes under the procedures of this
Section 7.4 shall be the sole and exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Parties from seeking in any court of competent jurisdiction
temporary or interim injunctive relief to the extent necessary to preserve the subject matter of the dispute pending resolution under this Section 7.4. 
  
 7.5. Consent to Jurisdiction. 
  
 Supplier and
Purchaser hereby agree and consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and in the absence of such Federal jurisdiction, the parties consent to be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any state court located in the City of Philadelphia and hereby waive the right to assert the lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or improper venue in connection with any such suit, action or other proceeding. In
furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties (i) waives the defense of inconvenient forum, (ii) agrees not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby other than in any
such court (other than the mandatory submission to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.4), and (iii) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive
 

 
 13 

 
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit or judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
  
 7.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding,
written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
  
 7.7. Successors/No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assignable, except that (i) either party may, after giving notice to the other party, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement so long as the assignee agrees in writing to assume such
party’s obligations hereunder; provided, that neither party shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a competitor of the other party without the prior written consent of the other party, and (ii) Supplier may, and
hereby gives notice to Purchaser that it intends to, pledge its rights and obligations under this Agreement to its lenders as collateral to secure indebtedness outstanding under its senior secured credit facility and all renewals, refundings,
refinancings and replacements thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to
or shall (a) confer on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns any rights (including third party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or
(b) constitute the parties hereto as partners or as participants in a joint venture. This Agreement shall not provide third parties with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without
reference to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 7.8. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or
the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of any such term or provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be valid and enforceable to the extent compatible
with the applicable law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 7.9. Counterparts. This
Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
  
 7.10. Section Headings; Interpretive Issues. The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement. Supplier and Purchaser have participated jointly in
 

 
 14 

 
the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. In the event any ambiguity or question of interpretation or intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by Supplier and
Purchaser and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 7.11. Effectiveness. The terms of this Agreement shall not become effective until the Initial Public Offering Date. 
  
 7.12. Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall be deemed also to include the corresponding neuter, masculine or feminine forms.

  
 7.13. Further Assurances. The parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed,
acknowledged and delivered, such instruments and take such other action as may be necessary or advisable to carry out their obligations under this Agreement and under any exhibit, document or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto. 

 
 7.14. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written instrument duly
executed by the parties hereto. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any person
under or by reason of this Agreement.

 2.  Registrable

time to time; provided, however, that each 

 
 3 

 
share of Common Stock shall cease to be a Registrable Security when (i) it has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement
covering it; (ii) it has been distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act; or (iii) it has otherwise been transferred and a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for it
not bearing a legend restricting transfer under the Securities Act and not subject to any stop transfer order has been delivered by or on behalf of Constar and no other restriction on transfer exists under the Securities Act. 

 
 3.  Incidental Registration. 
  
 (a)  Right to Include Common Stock.    If Constar at any time proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the Initial Public Offering, mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, subscription offers, dividend reinvestment plans, stock option or other employee benefit plans, or other registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or
successor forms thereto), whether or not for sale for its own account, it will each such time give at least 30 days prior written notice (the “Notice”) to each Holder of its intention to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act and of such Holder’s rights under this Section 3. Upon the written request of a Holder, made within 15 days of the date of delivery of the Notice to such Holder (which request shall specify the aggregate number of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder that such Holder elects to be registered), Constar will, subject to the terms hereof, use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which Constar has been so
requested to register by such Holder (an “Incidental Registration”); provided, however, that (i) if, any time after giving written notice of its intention to register shares of Common Stock and prior to the effective
date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, Constar shall determine for any reason not to register any shares of its Common Stock, Constar shall give written notice of such determination to each Holder and,
thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation under this Section 3 to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such aborted registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith) and (ii)
if a registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 shall involve an underwritten public offering, a Holder may elect, in writing at least 15 days prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from such registration. 
  
 (b)  Priority in Incidental Registrations.    If a registration that is not a Demand Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises Constar that, in its
opinion, the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such registration, including the Registrable Securities requested to be included pursuant to this Section 3, exceeds the maximum number of shares of Common Stock specified by the
managing underwriter that may be distributed without materially adversely affecting the price, timing or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, then Constar shall include in such registration only such maximum number of shares of Common Stock
which, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold in the following order of priority: (i) first, all of the shares of Common Stock that Constar proposes to sell for its own account, if any; (ii) second, the Registrable
Securities of Holders requested to be included in such registration, pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities of each such Holder requested to be included in such registration; and (iii) third, any other
securities proposed to be included in such registration. 

 
 4 

  
  
 (c)  Expenses.    Constar will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3, provided that each Holder will pay
any underwriting discounts or commissions with respect to Registrable Securities sold by it in any Incidental Registration. 
  
 4.  Demand Registration. 
  
 (a)  Right to Demand
Registration.    Subject to Section 4(b) below, at any time a Holder shall be entitled to make a written request (“Demand Registration Request”) to Constar for registration under the Securities Act of all or
part of the Registrable Securities owned by it (a “Demand Registration”) (which Demand Registration Request shall specify the intended number of Registrable Securities to be disposed of), and Constar shall use its best efforts to
effect such registration in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that (x) prior to the effective date of a registration statement with respect to a Demand Registration Request, if the Board of Directors of Constar
determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that due to a pending or contemplated material acquisition or disposition or public offering or other material event it would be inadvisable to effect such Demand Registration at such time (which
facts the Participating Holders will keep confidential and not trade upon), Constar may defer such Demand Registration for a period not to exceed 120 days, which right to defer may not be exercised more than once during any twelve month period, and
(y) if Constar elects not to effect the Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of this sentence, no Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement. A Holder shall be entitled in its Demand Registration Request
to request Constar to effect, and Constar shall effect, such Demand Registration under a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”), if Constar is
then entitled to use such a registration statement. 
  
 (b)   Number of Demand
Registrations.     The Holders shall be entitled to (i) three Demand Registration Requests to be effected on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, or any similar or successor long form, in connection with which Constar will pay
all Registration Expenses; (ii) an unlimited number of Demand Registration Requests to be effected on Form S-2 or Form S-3 under the Securities Act, or any similar or successor short form, in connection with which Constar will pay all Registration
Expenses; and (iii) following the three Demand Registration Requests to which the Holders are entitled under clause (i) above, an unlimited number of Demand Registration Requests to be effected on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, or any similar or
successor long form, in connection with which the Participating Holders will pay all Registration Expenses (other than (x) any expenses described in clause (iv) of the definition of “Registration Expenses” and (y) notwithstanding clause
(v) of the definition of “Registration Expenses”, any expenses of any annual audit), pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities of each such Participating Holder requested to be included in such registration
(including those Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 3(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder will pay, in all cases, any underwriting discounts or commissions with respect to Registrable
Securities sold by it pursuant to any Demand Registration Request. Demand Registration Requests will be effected on Form S-3 (or any similar or successor short form), if Constar is eligible to use such Form in connection with such registration; if
Constar is not eligible to use Form S-3 (or any similar or successor short form) in connection with such registration, then the registration will be effected on Form S-
 

 
 5 

 
2 (or any similar or successor short form), if Constar is eligible to use such Form in connection with such registration; and if Constar is not eligible to use Form S-2 (or any similar or
successor short form) in connection with such registration, then the registration will be effected on Form S-1 (or any similar or successor long form). 
  
 (c)  Priority.    The Company may register Common Stock for sale for its own account under a registration statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration.
However, if the Demand Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises Constar that, in its opinion, the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such registration, including any Registrable
Securities requested to be included pursuant to Section 3, exceeds the maximum number of shares of Common Stock specified by the managing underwriter that may be distributed without materially adversely affecting the price, timing or distribution of
such shares of Common Stock, then Constar shall include in such registration only such maximum number of shares of Common Stock which, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold in the following order of priority: (i) first,
the Registrable Securities of Holders requested to be included in such registration (whether pursuant to Section 3 or this Section 4); and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock that Constar proposes to sell for its own account. No other securities
may be included in a Demand Registration. 
  
 (d)  At any time when a Shelf Registration Statement effected
pursuant to this Section 4 is effective, upon written notice from Constar to the Participating Holders that the Board of Directors of Constar has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that disclosure under such Shelf Registration
Statement of a pending or contemplated material acquisition or disposition or public offering or other material event it would be required and inadvisable (an “Information Blackout”) (which facts the Participating Holders shall keep
confidential and not trade upon), the Participating Holders shall suspend sales pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) one day following the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or
ceases to be material (of which fact Constar will promptly inform the Participating Holders), (ii) 120 days after Constar makes such good faith determination or (iii) such time as Constar notifies the Participating Holders that sales pursuant to
such Shelf Registration Statement may be resumed (the number of days from such suspension of sales until the day when such sales may be resumed hereunder, the “Sales Blackout Period”). If there is an Information Blackout and the
Participating Holders do not notify Constar in writing of their desire to cancel such Shelf Registration Statement, the period set forth in Section 5(b)(ii) shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of days in the Sales Blackout
Period. 
  
 5.  Registration Procedures.    If and whenever Constar is required
to effect or cause the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, Constar will, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 
  
 (a)  prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective and to keep Holders of Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement (“Participating Holders”) advised in writing of the initiation and progress of proceedings
regarding such registration, provided, however, that Constar may discontinue, in
 

 
 6 

 accordance with Sections 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be, any registration of its securities which is being effected pursuant to Sections 3 or
4 hereof at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto, and provided, further, that Constar shall not file any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 or any amendment thereto or any
Prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents incorporated by reference) to which any Participating Holder or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object in light of the requirements of the Securities Act or any other
applicable laws or regulations; 
  
 (b)(i)  except in the case of a Demand Registration on
a Shelf Registration Statement, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
a period of not less than 180 days or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold (but not before the expiration of the 90-day period referred to in Section 4(3) of
the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the Participating Holders thereof set forth in such registration statement; 
  
 (ii)  in the case of a Demand Registration on a Shelf Registration Statement, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than 24 months or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold
(but not before the expiration of the 90-day period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Participating Holders thereof set forth in such registration statement; 
  

(c)  furnish to the Participating Holders and each managing underwriter, without charge, at least one signed copy of the Registration
Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) and a reasonable number of conformed
copies of all such documents; 
  
 (d)  furnish to the Participating Holders such number of
copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereof (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and
summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as a Participating Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such seller;

 
 7 

  
 (e)  use its best efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as a Participating Holder shall request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to
enable the Participating Holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Constar shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

  
 (f)  cooperate with the Participating Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as
the managing underwriters may request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters; 
  
 (g)  immediately notify each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when the registration statement is required to be kept effective under
clause (b) of this Section 4, of Constar becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing (which facts the Participating Holders shall keep confidential and not trade upon), and within ten days prepare and furnish to each
Participating Holder a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; 
  
 (h)  make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest
possible moment; 
  
 (i)  use its best efforts to list such Registrable Securities on any
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or NASDAQ if the Common Stock is then quoted on NASDAQ, if such Registrable Securities are not already so listed or quoted and if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such
exchange or NASDAQ, and provide an independent transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement; 
  
 (j)  provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities; 
  
 (k)  furnish each Participating Holder a signed counterpart, addressed to such seller (and the underwriters, if
any) of: 
  
 (i)  an opinion of counsel for Constar, dated the effective date of such
registration statement (or, if such registration involves an underwritten 

 
 8 

 
public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each Participating Holder and the managing underwriter, if any;
and 
  
 (ii)  a “comfort” letter, dated the effective date of such registration
statement (or, if such registration involves an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the independent public accountants who have certified Constar’s financial statements
included in such registration statement, covering such matters with respect to such registration statement as are customarily covered in accountants’ letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten offerings of securities as may
reasonably be requested by Holder and the managing underwriter, if any; and 
  
 (l)  make
available for inspection by each Participating Holder, by any underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any Participating Holder or
any such underwriter (individually, an “Inspector” and collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of Constar as shall be reasonably
necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibilities (collectively, the “Records”), and cause all of Constar’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any
Participating Holder or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; provided that such Participating Holder agrees that non-public information obtained by it as a result of such
Inspections shall be deemed confidential and acknowledges its obligations under the Federal securities laws not to trade any securities of Constar on the basis of material non-public information; 
  

(m)  enter into a customary underwriting agreement if such registration is to be underwritten; 
  
 (n)  otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make
generally available to its security holders, earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (1) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which
Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm or best efforts underwriting offering, and (2) beginning with the first month of Constar’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which
statements shall cover said 12-month periods; and 
  
 (o)  take such other reasonable steps
that are necessary or advisable to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities. 
  
 Each Participating Holder agrees that, upon receipt
of any notice from Constar of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (g) of this Section 5, such Participating Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement
covering such Registrable Securities until such Participating Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by clause (g) of this Section 5, and, if so directed by Constar, such Participating Holder will
deliver to Constar (at
 

 
 9 

 
Constar’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the
time of receipt of Constar’s notice. In the event Constar shall give any such notice, the periods mentioned in clause (b) of this Section 5 shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of
such notice pursuant to clause (g) of this Section 5 to the date when such Participating Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by clause (g) of this Section 5. 
  

	6.  Indemnification.
	 
	
 

  
 (a)  Indemnification by Constar.    Constar hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Participating Holder and each Participating Holder’s officers, directors, shareholders,
employees, agents and Affiliates and each other Person (including underwriters) who participates in the offering of such Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs or expenses
(collectively, the “Damages”), joint or several, to which such Participating Holder and its Affiliates or such participating Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or proceedings in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which Registrable Securities are registered under the
Securities Act, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and will reimburse such Participating Holder, its Affiliates or such participating Person for their expenses (as incurred) in connection with investigating or defending any such
Damages or proceeding; provided, however, that Constar will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Damages arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such registration statement, said preliminary or final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished after the completion of the Initial Public Offering to Constar
by a Participating Holder, its Affiliates or a participating Person, as the case may be, specifically for use in the registration statement or prospectus; or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission in a
prospectus if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus which amendment or supplement is delivered to the indemnified party in a timely manner and
such party thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of such Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such Damages. 
  

(b)  Indemnification by Holder.    Each Participating Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Constar, its directors,
officers, agents and Affiliates against any Damages, joint or several, to which Constar, or such other Person or Affiliate may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered under the Securities Act,
in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of 

 
 10 

 
or are based upon 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, which, in each such
case, has been made in or omitted from such registration statement, said preliminary or final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished after the completion of the Initial
Public Offering to Constar by such Participating Holder specifically for use in the registration statement or prospectus. 
  
 (c)   Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.    Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of any action
or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6 (provided the failure of any indemnified party to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 6 except to
the extent of any Damages caused solely by such failure); and (ii) unless the indemnified party has been advised by its counsel that a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified and indemnifying parties under applicable standards of
professional responsibility, with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying
party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation; provided, however, that no
indemnifying party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (other than for the payment of money only) without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of the claim, will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in
the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the
fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. 
  
 (d)  Contribution.    If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding Sections 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any Damages referred to
therein, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that in no event shall the liability of any Participating Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the difference between the
dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Participating Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation and all amounts previously contributed by Holder with respect to such Damages. No Person
guilty of fraudulent
 

 
 11 

 
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. 

 
 7.   Restrictions on Public Sale by Constar. 
  
 (a)  Constar shall not directly or indirectly effect any public sale or distribution of any of its capital stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for its capital stock for its own account or the account of third parties during the 10-day period prior to and the 90 day period beginning on the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 (except pursuant to such
Registration Statement or as part of a Registration Statement on Form S-8), and, in connection with an underwritten offering, Constar shall agree to such further lock-up arrangements as the managing underwriter(s) may reasonably request. Constar
will not permit any third party to register and sell securities in an offering described in Section 3 hereof unless such person agrees to enter into a lock-up agreement on the same terms. 
  
 (b)  If any Holders of Registrable Securities notify Constar in writing that they intend to effect an underwritten sale of Registrable Securities registered
pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, Constar shall not directly or indirectly effect any public sale or distribution of any of its capital stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital stock for its own account or the
account of third parties during the 10-day period prior to and the 90 day period beginning on the date such notice is received, except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form. 
  

(c)  If Constar completes an underwritten registration with respect to any of its securities (whether offered for sale by Constar or any other Person) on a
form and in a manner that would have permitted registration and sale of the Registrable Securities, regardless of whether any Holder actually elected to participate in such registration, each Holder shall not directly or indirectly effect any public
sale or distribution of any of its capital stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital stock for its own account or the account of third parties other than pursuant to such registration during the lock-up period required of
Constar by any underwriters managing any such public offering, not to exceed 90 days. 
  
 8.  Underwritten Registration. 
  
 In the case of a Demand Registration, if any of
the Registrable Securities to be registered under this Agreement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Participating
Holders and shall be subject to Constar’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 9.  Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a)  Amendment and
Modification.    This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement will be
deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any person under or by reason of this Agreement. 

 
 12 

  
 (b)  Entire Agreement.    This Agreement
constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
  
 (c)  Assignment.    This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and executors, administrators and heirs. Crown may assign all or, from time to time, any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder. Constar may, and
hereby gives notice to Crown that it intends to, pledge its rights and obligations under this Agreement to its lenders as collateral to secure indebtedness outstanding under its senior secured credit facility and all renewals, refundings,
refinancings and replacements thereof. 
  
 (d)  No Third Party
Beneficiaries.    Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns any rights (including third
party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or (b) constitute the parties hereto as partners or as participants in a joint venture. This Agreement shall not provide third parties with any
remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (e)  Severability.    If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of any such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected
thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration,
scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (f)  Notices.    All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing, shall be deemed duly given upon actual receipt, and shall be delivered (a) in person, (b) by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (c) by facsimile or other generally accepted means of electronic

(g)  Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. 
  
 (h)  Dispute Resolution: Negotiation and Arbitration. 
  
 (i)  The parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by
negotiation in good faith between executives who have authority to settle the dispute. A party shall give the other parties written notice of any dispute not resolved in the ordinary course of business. Within ten Business Days after delivery of
such notice, the party receiving notice shall submit to the others a written response thereto. The notice and the response shall include: (i) a statement of each party’s position(s) regarding the matter(s) in dispute and a summary of arguments
in support thereof, and (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and any other Person who will accompany that executive. 
  
 (ii)  Within 10 Business Days after delivery of the notice, the designated executives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and
thereafter, as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to any other shall be honored in a timely fashion. All negotiations conducted pursuant to this
Section 9(g) (and any of the parties’ submissions in contemplation hereof) shall be deemed confidential shall be treated by the parties and their representatives as 

 
 14 

 
compromise and settlement negotiations under the United States Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar state rules. 
  
 (iii)  If the matter in dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the first meeting of the executives to attempt to resolve the dispute,
either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the AAA. 
  
 (iv)  The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, as modified or revised by
the provisions of this Section 9(g), shall govern any arbitration proceeding hereunder. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators selected pursuant to Rule 13 of the Commercial Arbitration Rules, and pre-hearing discovery shall be
permitted if and only to the extent determined by the arbitrator to be necessary in order to effectuate resolution of the matter in dispute. The arbitrator’s decision shall be rendered within 30 days of the conclusion of any hearing hereunder
and the arbitrator’s judgment and award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (v)  Resolution of disputes under the procedures of this Section 9(g) shall be the sole and exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall preclude the Parties from seeking in any court of competent jurisdiction temporary or interim injunctive relief to the extent necessary to preserve the subject matter of the dispute pending resolution under this Section 9(g).

  
 (i)  Consent to Jurisdiction.    Both parties hereby agree and consent to be
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and in the absence of such Federal jurisdiction, the parties consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court
located in the City of Philadelphia and hereby waive the right to assert the lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or improper venue in connection with any such suit, action or other proceeding. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the
parties (i) waives the defense of inconvenient forum, (ii) agrees not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby other than in any such court (other than the mandatory
submission to arbitration in accordance with Section 9(g), and (iii) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit or judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. 
  
 (j)  Section Headings; Interpretive Issues.    The section
and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the drafting and negotiation of this
Agreement. In the event any ambiguity or question of interpretation or intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by Crown and Constar and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 

 
 15 

  
 (k)  Counterparts.    This Agreement and any
amendments hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
to this Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
  
 (l)  Further Assurances.    The parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, such instruments and take such other action as may be necessary
or advisable to carry out their obligations under this Agreement and under any exhibit, document or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto. 
  
 (m)  Specific Performance.    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that they shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any state thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or equity. 
  
 (n)  Holders No Longer Owning Securities.    The term of this Agreement shall terminate if the
Holders cease to own any Registrable Securities; provided that the indemnification rights and obligations set forth in Section 6 hereof shall survive any such cessation of ownership. 
  
 (o)  Pronouns.    Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall be deemed also to include the corresponding neuter,
masculine or feminine forms. 
  
 (p)  Attorneys’ Fees.    In the event any
party hereto commences any action to enforce any rights of such party hereunder, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover such party’s costs and expenses incurred in such action, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees. 
  
 (q)  Current Public Information.    At all times after
Constar has filed a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, Constar will file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. 
  
 (r)  Other Registration Rights.    Constar will not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Constar has not previously entered into any agreement with respect to its securities granting any registration rights to any Person. 

 
 16
