Group set forth in the table set forth under the Quantity section above. (“Buyers Minimum Purchase Obligation”). Buyer represents that it is purchasing the Products mainly for its own use or the use of
its Affiliates. Affiliates of the Buyer may place orders under this Contract at the same terms and conditions as the Buyer provided that the Buyer will be jointly and severally liable (gesamtschuldnerisch) for these orders. Despite of the
joint and severally liability, the Seller accepts to raise any claims it may have at first by written notice to the Buyer’s Affiliate who ordered the respective Products from the Seller. Only if and to the extent the claims of the Seller were
not fulfilled within a period of [*****] days from the Buyer’s Affiliate’s receipt of the Seller’s claim notice, Seller may address the claim to the Buyer based upon the Buyer’s joint and severally liability for obligations of
its Affiliate.
		
		  	Buyer shall schedule orders for each individual Product on a monthly basis so that the total monthly orders of Products belonging to the same Product Group equal [*****] of the
respective annual Product Group Quantity.
		
		  	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall at least [*****] days prior to the end of each calendar month during the Term hereof, provide to Seller with a desired rolling
forecast of Buyer’s monthly requirements for each Product during the following [*****] period. However, these forecasts need to be agreed in writing by the Seller taking the above provisions on Seller’s Maximum Supply Obligation into
account.
		
		  	Each month Buyer shall be obliged to purchase at least [*****] of the monthly forecast quantity, including any Extra Quantities that may have been agreed, as agreed by the Seller
or, if the forecast was not agreed by the Seller, [*****] of annual Quantity of Product (such monthly quantity per Product hereinafter referred to as the “Binding Monthly Quantity”).
		
		  	The parties will hold a quarterly review meeting early in the 1st month following a calendar quarter to review performance against Sales Contract and forecast and they agree on
any actions necessary.
		
		  	If Buyer in any given month purchases less than [*****] of the Binding Monthly Quantity then..
		
		  	 i)       Seller will inform Buyer in writing whether or not (1) the Seller accepts the
shortfall or (2) if offered by the Buyer, the Seller accepts being compensated by selling to the Buyer other Products than those the Buyer is already obliged to purchase from the Seller. If the Seller accepts the shortfall or
being

		  	 compensated by Buyer purchasing other Products then these respective shortfall quantities will be excluded from any aggregate of the Contract Year
Quantities as set forth in the table under Quantity section. If not accepted by Seller then..

		
		  	 ii)      Buyer shall purchase that shortfall quantity of the specified Product in the following
month but will however be subject to Buyer paying compensation to Seller equal to [*****] of the total value of that shortfall volume based on the Price in the second half of the month in which the shortfall occurred provided that the Contract Year
Quantities as set forth in the table under Quantity section will remain unchanged. The compensation will be paid on an aggregate basis for each quarter and any payment due will be payable within [*****] days from date of Seller’s
invoice.

	1.	Interpretation of Trade Terms 

 Trade terms shall be interpreted in accordance with INCOTERMS 2000 unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. 
  

	2.	Seller’s Commitments 

 2.1 Seller
undertakes that the Product will at the time of delivery meet the Sales Specifications then agreed between the parties. Seller will notify Buyer without undue delay if Sales Specifications are changed. All descriptions, drawings, photographs,
illustrations, performance and technical data, dimensions, weights and the like, contained in any promotional or technical literature issued by Seller are subject to variation without notice and are not designed to constitute Sales Specifications.

 2.2 Seller will supply Buyer with current Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) regarding the Products. 

2.3 Subject to Section 7 hereof, Seller will convey the Products with good title, free from any lawful lien or encumbrance. 

2.4 If Buyer wishes to purchase additional quantities of Products exceeding the quantities set out in this Contract, Buyer shall inform Seller in writing
of the quantities required. Taking account of its supply capacity and without establishing a legal obligation, Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to cover Buyer’s additional requirements in whole or in part. Within [*****] Seller shall
inform Buyer in writing whether the additional quantities can be supplied. If this is the case, Buyer shall be obliged to accept the additional quantity mentioned in this clause in accordance with the terms of this Contract. 

 

	3.	Responsible Practices 

 3.1 Buyer will
(i) familiarise itself with any product literature or information Seller provides under Seller’s product stewardship program, including MSDS, (ii) follow safe handling, use, selling, storage, transportation, and disposal practices,
including special practices as Buyer’s use of the Product requires, and instruct its employees, contractors, agents and customers in these practices and (iii) take appropriate action to avoid spills or other dangers to persons, property or
the environment. 
 3.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 5 of this Contract, Buyer will indemnify Seller for all claims, damages and
related costs, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of Buyer’s noncompliance with any of its commitments under Article 3.1 above. 
  

	4.	Patents/Trademarks 

Seller warrants only that the manufacture of the Products covered by this Contract does not infringe any valid Letters Patent of the
country of manufacture including EU-patent law. Buyer assumes all responsibility for use of any design, trademark, trade name, or part thereof, appearing on the Products at Buyer’s request. 

 

	5.	Warranty/Liability 

 5.1 The commitments
set out in Articles 2 and 4 above are Seller’s sole warranties in respect of the Products. ANY OTHER CONDITION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT SUPPLIED UNDER THIS CONTRACT OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHETHER ARISING UNDER
STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, IS EXCLUDED. 
 5.2 Buyer shall inspect immediately after delivery of the Product the quantity of Product supplied, its
outer appearance and its quality by verifying whether the certificates of analysis supplied by the Seller comply with the agreed Specifications. The Buyer shall notify the Seller 

  

					
		 	page 10 of 17	 	
	ST-EU-0058	 		 	
	

	 		 	

 
in writing of any defects found in the aforementioned incoming goods inspection. Seller shall be notified in writing of any defects that were found or could have been found in the abovementioned
incoming goods inspection within two weeks of the delivery arriving at the Product’s destination, including a precise description of the defect and the order or invoice number. Claims of the Buyer on account of a defectiveness or incompleteness
of the delivery are excluded if it fails to comply with this obligation. If any of the supplied Product is rejected because of nonconformity to specifications, Buyer shall have the right to return it to Seller only after inspection by Seller and
receipt of definite shipping instructions from Seller, such inspection to be made and instructions to be given by Seller within [*****] days after written notice of rejection by Buyer. In case after inspection Seller decides that Buyer has a
right to return the Product because of its non-conformity to specifications, Buyer has the right to choose between remediation of the non-conformity of the originally delivered Product by the Seller or delivery of a new Product. 

5.3 In the event of any liability by either party whether arising from breach of contract or from statutes it is agreed that the maximum amount of
damages recoverable shall be limited to the higher of (i) [*****] of the yearly contract price for the Product Group with respect to which damages are claimed (plus transportation costs, if any, paid by Buyer for the defective Product) or
(ii) [*****]. In no event shall either Party be liable for indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages in connection with or arising out of this Contract. However, Seller will be liable without restriction under the Product
Liability Act or in the event of willful violations of a duty. Seller will also be liable without restriction in the event of willful or negligent injury to life, physical well-being or health. Defect claims shall become time-barred after 24 months
from the transfer of risk. The same applies to legal defects. 
 5.4 No limitation of liability shall, however, apply with respect to any of the
Buyer’s obligations to take Products under this Contract or to make payments for Products delivered under this Contract. 
  

	6.	Title 

 6.1 If Products are delivered to
destinations in Switzerland or to other destinations where reservation of title of goods is not permissible, title to the Products shall pass at the same time as the risk of loss passes to Buyer. 

6.2 If Products are delivered to destinations outside of Switzerland and if permissible under the laws of the country of destination, title to the
Product shall remain with Seller until payment in full has been received by Seller. Until the title to the Product has transferred 
 (a) the Product shall so far as practicable be kept separate from other goods on the premises of Buyer so as to be readily identifiable as goods of Seller and 

(b) Buyer shall be entitled to resell the Product in the ordinary course of business or to use the Product in any process provided that
such liberty shall be deemed automatically terminated without the need for notice if Buyer shall fail to make any payment when it becomes due, or shall default in due performance or observance of any other obligation under this Contract, or shall
enter into or apply for liquidation or receivership. Seller may then by notice in writing to Buyer terminate the Contract. Upon such termination Seller shall be entitled to enter upon Buyer’s premises in order to remove any of the Product to
which Seller has retained title and for this purpose Buyer shall afford Seller all reasonable assistance to locate and take possession of the Product. 
 6.3 Upon termination of Buyer’s liberty to resell or use the Product it shall promptly place the Product at Seller’s disposal and Seller shall be entitled to enter upon Buyer’s premises for
the purpose of removing the Product. 
 6.4 For the purpose of the foregoing paragraphs of this Condition and in the absence of evidence to the
contrary Product supplied by Seller to Buyer at any time shall be deemed to 

  

					
		 	page 11 of 17	 	
	ST-EU-0058	 		 	
		 		 	

 
have been resold, used or processed in the order in which Product was supplied. Nothing herein shall give Buyer the right to return the Product to Seller. 

 

	7.	Annual Forecast 

 Buyer
shall, at least [*****] days prior to each Contract Year during the Term hereof, provide to Seller a non-binding written forecast estimating Buyer’s anticipated monthly requirements during the next Contract Year. 

 

	8.	Transportation 

 Where the
price provides for absorption by Seller of any portion of the freight charges or where Seller provides the transportation equipment at its cost, Seller shall have the right to select the means of transportation. Where the price provides for payment
by Buyer of any portion of the freight charges, the freight charges will be those in effect at the date of shipment. 
  

	9.	Delivery Equipment 

During the time that Seller’s delivery equipment is in the possession of Buyer, Buyer shall be liable to Seller for damages or
destruction of such equipment attributable to Buyer. All repairs to equipment shall be made under the supervision or direction of Seller. 
  

	10.	Force Majeure 

Performance is excused when 

(a) there is any contingency beyond the reasonable control of Seller or Buyer [including, for example, war or hostilities, severe natural incidents (such
as earthquake, lightning flood, drought, extreme weather conditions, storm), fire, explosion, public protest, breakage of equipment, pandemic, acts of terrorism, activity of a governmental authority (including, for example, the passage of
legislation or the failure to grant an export license, strikes or lock outs)] which interferes with Seller’s or Buyer’s production, supply, transportation or consumption practice; or 

(b) Styron is unable to obtain raw materials, power or energy on terms commercially reasonably acceptable. 

During times when performance is excused, all quantities of affected Product (determined using Sellers commercially reasonably judgment) will be
eliminated from this Contract without liability (including an adequate reduction of Buyer’s Minimum Purchase Obligation and Seller’s Maximum Purchase Obligation) and Seller will allocate its supplies of raw materials and Product among
their various uses in a manner that is fair and reasonable, but this Contract will otherwise remain in effect; provided, that with respect to the allocation of such reduced quantities by Seller, Seller shall treat Customer in the manner no less
disadvantageous as all other contract customers for Product. Seller will not be obligated to obtain raw materials, intermediates, or Product from other sources, or to allocate raw materials, intermediates, or Product from Seller’s internal use.
The foregoing provisions shall in no event relieve Customer of its obligation to timely pay in-full a Product invoice. 
  

	11.	Governmental Controls 

 If
the price, freight allowance or terms of payment or any price increase or change in freight allowance or terms of payment under this Contract or Seller’s ability to make any such increase or change, should be altered or prohibited by reason of
any law, government decree, order or regulation, Seller may request an appropriate adjustment of the Contract. If the Buyer does not accept the appropriate adjustment requested by the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to cancel the affected part
of the Contract – or the entire Contract if a reasonable separation of an affected part cannot be made – upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. If However, at its option Seller may by written notice elect to postpone the
effective date of any price increase or proposed change to the extent so prevented until such date or dates as it is not so prevented. By electing to postpone rather than cancel, Seller will not waive its right to cancel thereafter because of such
continued or further alterations or prohibitions.

	ST-EU-0058	 		 	
	

	 		 	

	12.	Non-performance 

 12.1 If Buyer fails to
perform any of the terms of this Contract when due, Seller may, at its option, decline to make further deliveries against this Contract except for cash, or may recall or defer shipments until such default is made good, or may – upon lapse of an
additional thirty (30) days-period to remedy such default – treat such default as final refusal to accept further shipments and cancel this Contract upon sixty (60) days prior written notice. 

12.2 Seller reserves the right, without prejudice to Buyer’s liability to pay on the due date, to charge interest on any overdue balance at a rate
of 30 days LIBOR plus [*****] Such rights are in addition and without prejudice to any other rights Seller may have under this Contract. 
  

	13.	Performance by Affiliates 

 At Seller’s option, any Contract obligation may be performed by Styron Europe GmbH, Horgen, Switzerland, or any of its Affiliates provided that Seller will remain jointly and severally liable with
its Affiliates. “Affiliates” means any entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediates, now or hereafter, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with Styron Europe GmbH or any entity controlling
Styron Europe GmbH. For the purposes herein, the term “control” (including the terms “controls”, “controlled by”, and “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or indirect of at least 50% of
the ownership. Any deliveries made under this Section 13 may be invoiced by such Affiliate and shall constitute performance of this Contract by Seller. Affiliates of the Buyer may place orders under this Contract at the same terms and
conditions as the Buyer provided that the Buyer will be jointly and severally liable for these orders as well as any obligations and liabilities arising from these orders subject, however, to the procedure described in the Sales Contract (see under
1st paragraph of “Buyer’s minimum obligation to
purchase:..”). 
  

	14.	Assignment/Transfer 

 This
Contract is neither transferable nor assignable by either party without the other party’s prior written consent except that the parties hereby consent to potential future assignments as set forth in Section 13. 

 

	15.	Non-waiver 

 Failure to
exercise any rights under this Contract upon any occasion shall not waive the right to exercise the same on another occasion. 
  

	16.	Severability of Provisions 

If any provision of this Contract should be held invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall not be affected. Any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a new provision which will allow the parties to this Contract to achieve the intended economic result in a legally valid and effective manner. 

 

	17.	Applicable Law and Venue 

This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Germany excluding its conflict of laws provisions. The
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) shall not apply to this Contract.

all disputes arising from the Contract, its validity and any sales contract concluded hereunder shall be Frankfurt/Main, Germany. 
  

	18.	Controlling Terms & Amendments

covering at least [*****] consecutive months the regular supply of any Goods covered by this Agreement, in substantially comparable quantities or less as those covered by this Agreement at a price lower than the FCA price then in effect, and under
substantially similar non-price terms and conditions, but excluding variations due to monomer price application, then Seller shall reduce the price charged to Buyer hereunder to such lower price for the Goods supplied under this Agreement. Such
price reduction shall apply for equal quantities and for the equal time period of the actual supply of material to such third party purchaser at the lower price.
		
		  	If requested by Buyer, prior to the start of a new Contract Year Seller shall make an annual statement to Buyer that Seller is in compliance.

to time to reflect declines from the date hereof in the purchasing power of the dollar as Buyers or Authorized Participants may reasonably request) and coverage for premises-operations, completed
operations-products, independent contractors, engineering and design defects, explosion, pollution, collapse and underground property damage hazards. Seller shall have Buyer named as an Additional Insured on a direct and primary, non-contributory

	8.	FORCE MAJEURE 

  

	 	8.1.	 Should the performance of either Party under this Agreement be delayed as a result of flood, earthquake, hurricane, pestilence, or other natural
catastrophe; fire (to the extent not caused by and not within the reasonable control of the Party using the defense), mechanical breakdowns, utility or raw material interruption ( all to the extent not caused by and not within the reasonable control
of the Party using the defense), war, act of terrorism, civil commotion, strike, labor dispute, or embargo; or any applicable law, proclamation, or order of any Governmental Authority (a “Force Majeure Event”) provided,
however, that the affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly avoid, remove or remedy the cause of non-performance and give prompt written notice following the termination of such Force Majeure Event. It is understood
and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure Event shall be promptly avoided, removed or remedied shall not
require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of an opposing party when such course is inadvisable in the reasonable discretion of the Party having the difficulty. Immediately upon Seller’s Force Majeure notice to
Buyer as described above, Goodyear shall have the right to source the Goods subject to the Force Majeure Event from an alternative supplier for a term(s) as long as reasonably necessary in order to assure the supply of such Goods, any commitments
hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of all such purchases by Buyer and/or Authorized Participants for the time period of such purchases. If the Force Majeure Event shall continue for a period of six (6) months, Buyer shall have the right
to reduce permanently the commitment under this Agreement by a percentage proportionate to the amount of 

  
 Page 7 of 34

	 	 
Goods subject to the Force Majeure Event as compared to the aggregate amount of Goods Supplied under this Agreement in the prior year, and if such continued Force Majeure Event is material to
this Agreement, taken as a whole, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, immediately upon written notice to Seller. During times when performance is excused, Seller will allocate its supplies of raw
materials and Goods among their various uses in a manner that is fair and reasonable and Seller will treat Buyer in the manner no less disadvantageous as all other contract customers for the Goods. In case of a Force Majeure, Seller will not be
obligated to obtain raw materials, intermediates, or Goods from other sources. The foregoing provisions shall in no event relieve Buyer of its obligation to timely pay in-full an invoice for the Goods. 

 

	 	8.2.	Except for laws dealing with taxation of Seller, if any law, government decree, order or regulation of the Federal Republic of Germany and/or Switzerland
(“Modification”), directly requires Seller to modify the commercial mechanisms within this Agreement including the price, freight allowance or terms of payment under this Agreement, and it is outside Seller’s reasonable ability to
mitigate the effect of the Modification, Seller shall notify Buyer within six (6) months of the date when Seller becomes aware thereof and the Parties will negotiate in good faith about an appropriate adjustment of the Agreement.

  

	9.	NON-PERFORMANCE 

 If
Buyer fails to perform any of the material terms of this Agreement when due, Seller may, at its option, decline to make further deliveries against this Agreement except for cash, or may recall or defer shipments until such material default is made
good. 
  

	10.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION & LAW 

  

	 	10.1.	The validity, enforceability, performance and construction of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales
notwithstanding any choice of law rules or conflicts of law principles to the contrary.

	 	10.4.	A Notice of Arbitration may be delivered to any Party anywhere in the world. 

 

	 	10.5.	Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. 

  

	 	10.6.	 Prior to instituting arbitration for any matter arising out this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to follow the dispute resolution procedure set
forth herein. In the event of a dispute between or among the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Parties to the dispute will make every effort to resolve, promptly and in good faith, such dispute. In the event that the
dispute cannot be resolved, either Party may notify the other Party in writing of the existence of the dispute. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of that notice, the Parties shall arrange to discuss, in person or through a
