not trade in Constar’s securities based on any material non-public information that it obtains from Constar under Section 3.2 or 3.3. 
  
 3.5.  Restrictions on Amendment of Certain Charter Provisions.    (a)  So long as any director, officer or employee of Crown is a director of the Constar Board, Constar shall
not amend or repeal Article 9, Article 10 or Article 11 of the Constar Charter or adopt any provision in the Constar Charter that is inconsistent with Article 9, Article 10 or Article 11 of the Constar Charter if such amendment or repeal or adoption

 (b)  So long as any director, officer or employee of Crown is a director of the Constar Board, Constar
shall not amend or repeal Article 11 of the Constar Charter or adopt any provision in the Constar Charter that is inconsistent with Article 11 of the Constar Charter without the prior written consent of Crown.

 CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 
  
 4.1.  Corporate
Opportunities.    (a)  If any Crown Entity or any director or officer of Constar who is also a director, officer or employee of any Crown Entity acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a
Corporate Opportunity or otherwise is then exploiting any Corporate Opportunity, Constar shall have no interest in, and no expectation that, such Corporate Opportunity be offered to it, any such interest or expectation being hereby renounced by
Constar so that any such Crown Entity (or any other Crown Entity) and any such individuals (i) shall (A) have no duty to communicate or present such Corporate Opportunity to Constar and (B) have the right to hold any such Corporate Opportunity for
any Crown Entity’s (and any Crown Entity’s officers’, directors’, agents’, stockholders’, members’, partners’, Affiliates’ or Subsidiaries’) own account and benefit or to recommend, assign or
otherwise transfer or deal in such Corporate Opportunity to Persons other than Constar or any Affiliate of Constar and (ii) cannot be, and shall not be, liable to Constar or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as an officer or director
of Constar or otherwise by reason of the fact that any Crown Entity or any such individual pursues or acquires such Corporate Opportunity for any Crown Entity, directs, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers or deals in such Corporate Opportunity to
another Person, or does not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to Constar. 
  
 (b)(i)  Constar will cause each Subsidiary of Constar (x) to amend, promptly after the date of this Agreement, its organizational documentation so as to include, to the extent permissible under applicable law, provisions
analogous to Article 11 of the Constar Charter, and (y) to refrain from amending, altering or repealing any such provision of its organizational documents without the prior written consent of Crown. 
  
 (ii)  Constar will use reasonable efforts to cause each Constar Equity-Interest Entity to amend, promptly after Crown’s
exercise of such rights, its organizational
 

 
 12 

 
documentation so as to include, to the extent permissible under applicable law, provisions analogous to Article 11 of the Constar Charter, and (y) to refrain from amending, altering or repealing
any such provision of its organizational documents without the prior written consent of Crown. 
  
 ARTICLE V

  
 INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 5.1.  Constar Indemnification of the Crown Entities for Certain Liabilities. 
  
 (a)  Subject to Section 5.3, Constar shall indemnify and hold harmless each Crown Entity and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants,
advisors, accountants, attorneys and representatives (each, a “Crown Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Liabilities incurred or suffered by any Crown Indemnitee arising out of (i) any and all Constar Entity Liabilities, (ii) the
breach by any Constar Entity of any obligation under this Agreement, and (iii) any claim by any Constar Subsidiary or Constar Equity-Interest Entity that any Crown Indemnitee breached any fiduciary duty (or similar concept) as a stockholder, officer
or director of such entity or otherwise by reason of the fact that any Crown Indemnitee pursued or acquired a Corporate Opportunity for any Crown Entity, directed, sold, assigned or otherwise transferred or dealt in such Corporate Opportunity to
another Person, or did not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to such entity. 
  
 (b)  Subject to Section 5.3, Constar shall indemnify and hold harmless each Crown Indemnitee from and against any and all Liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any document filed with the SEC by any Crown Entity pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that those Liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information
that any Constar Entity furnishes in writing or fails to furnish to any Crown Indemnitee for inclusion in any document filed by any Crown Entity with the SEC, if that statement or omission was made or occurred after the Initial Public Offering Date.

  
 (c)  Subject to Section 5.3, Constar shall indemnify and hold harmless each Crown Indemnitee from and
against any and all Liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in Constar’s registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-88878), as amended from time to time (the “Registration
Statement”) or in any prospectus related thereto filed under Rule 424 of the Securities Act (the “Final Prospectus”), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

 
 13 

  
 5.2.  Crown Indemnification of Constar
Entities.    Subject to Section 5.3, Crown shall indemnify and hold harmless each Constar Entity and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, accountants,
attorneys and representatives (each, a “Constar Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Liabilities incurred or suffered by any Constar Indemnitee arising out of (i) any and all Crown Entity Liabilities and (ii) the breach by any Crown
Entity of any obligation under this Agreement; provided, however, that Crown shall not have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Constar Indemnitee, and Crown shall have no Liability to any Constar Indemnitee, with respect to any
Liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 5.3.  Limitations. 
  
 (a)  Any indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1 or
Section 5.2 shall be paid net of any tax benefit to the Indemnified Party attributable to the relevant payment. It is expressly agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit (as a third-party beneficiary or
otherwise) that it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims to which it is obligated or (iii) entitled to any subrogation rights with respect to any
obligation under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2. 
  
 (b)  To the extent that the Ancillary Agreements contain
provisions that limit the liability of the parties thereto, contain indemnification provisions, or otherwise conflict with Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 above, the terms of the Ancillary Agreements shall govern. 
  
 (c)  Notwithstanding Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 or the other provisions hereof, neither party shall be liable for any special,
indirect, incidental or consequential damages relating to claims of the other party. 
  
 (d)  The amount
that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any insurance proceeds, settlement recoveries or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party in respect of any indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, as the case may be (an “Actual Recovery”). If an Indemnified Party shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in
respect of any indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, as the case may be, and shall subsequently receive an Actual Recovery, then such Indemnified Party shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such Actual Recovery
up to the aggregate payments made by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, as the case may be. 
  
 5.4.  Notice and Payment of Claims.    If any Crown Indemnitee or Constar Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) determines
that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by any party
 

 
 14 

 
(the “Indemnifying Party”) under Article IV of this Agreement (other than in connection with any Action subject to Section 5.5), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying
Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. Within 30 days after receipt of
that notice, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party that amount in cash or other immediately available funds unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim for indemnification or the amount of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party
does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to that indemnity claim and setting forth the grounds for the objection(s) within that 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for that
claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under applicable law to collect that amount. If there is a timely objection by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the
amount, if any, that is Finally Determined to be required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of that indemnity claim within 15 days after that indemnity claim has been so Finally Determined. 
  
 5.5.  Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims.    Promptly after the earlier of receipt of (i)
notice that a third party has commenced an Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (ii) information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which
indemnification may be sought under Article IV of this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of the Third-Party Claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice
as provided in this Section 5.5 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the failure to give notice. Within 30 days after receipt of that
notice, the Indemnifying Party may (i) at its option, elect to assume and control the defense of that Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense by giving written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party, or (ii) object to the claim for
indemnification set forth in the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.5; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party does not within that 30-day period give the Indemnified Party written
notice objecting to that indemnification claim and setting forth the grounds for the objection(s), the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for that indemnification claim. If the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged
its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party and elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (x) the defense shall be conducted by counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;
provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in those proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense; and (y) the Indemnifying Party may
settle or compromise the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party so long as any settlement or compromise of the Third-Party Claim includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all claims that
are the subject of that Third-Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such settlement or compromise pursuant to which any remedy or relief, other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be
responsible under this Agreement, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
 

 
 15 

 
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim for which it has acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will act in good faith with respect to that Third-Party Claim and may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney’s
fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating and defending against that Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect to that claim by the Indemnified Party; provided,
that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise of any Third-Party Claim effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in
cash the amount, if any, for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement within 15 days after that Third-Party Claim has been Finally Determined. 
  
 5.6.  Contribution. 
  
 If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
that Indemnified Party as a result of those Liabilities in that proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with those statements
or omissions, which relative fault shall be determined by reference to the Crown Entity or Constar Entity to which those actions, conduct, statements or omissions are primarily related, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 TERM 
  
 6.1.  Effectiveness.    The terms of
this Agreement shall not become effective until the Initial Public Offering Date. 
  
 6.2.  Termination
of the Agreement.    This Agreement shall remain in effect indefinitely. 
  
 ARTICLE VII

  
 INSURANCE 
  
 7.1.  Deductibles.    To the extent that a claim is made in respect of any Constar Entity Liability, such Constar Entity Liability is covered by an insurance policy
held by Crown, and the insurer makes payment under such policy in respect of such claim, then any deductible associated with such payment shall be paid by Constar. 
  
 7.2  Director and Officer Insurance.    From and after the Initial Public Offering Date, Crown shall timely notify Constar of any
amendments or modifications to and limitations on availability of the director and officer insurance policies of Crown that apply to directors and officers of Constar as of October 14, 2002 for the period ending on such date. Crown and Constar
hereby acknowledge and agree that the service of any person (other than a person who is also a director or officer of Crown after the Initial Public Offering Date) as an officer or director of any Constar Entity after October 14, 2002 shall be at
the mutual request of such person, Constar and any such Constar Entity and not at the request of any other individual, entity or group. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 OPTION 
  
 8.1.  Option. 
  
 (a)  Eligible Offering.    Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this Section 8.1, Crown shall have the continuing right (the “Option”) to purchase a percentage (the
“Option Percentage”) of any future offering (an “Eligible Offering”) of (1) equity securities of Constar, (2) debt or other securities of Constar convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights or options to purchase
equity securities of Constar or (3) any other voting securities of Constar, such Option Percentage to be equal to the Crown Ownership Percentage, calculated as of the date of delivery of the Notice of Eligible Offering (as defined in Section
8.1(b)). 
  
 (b)  Notice of Eligible Offering.    Before issuing any securities
pursuant to an Eligible Offering, Constar shall give written notice thereof to Crown (the “Notice of Eligible Offering”). The Notice of Eligible Offering must specify the type and number of securities Constar proposes to issue, the
consideration that it intends to receive for such securities being issued and the other terms of the Eligible Offering. For a period of twenty (20) days following the delivery of the Notice of Eligible Offering, Crown will be entitled, by written
notice to Constar, to elect to purchase all or a portion of the Option Percentage of the securities being sold in the Eligible Offering; provided, however, that it shall be a condition to Crown’s obligation to complete such purchase that
Constar has completed the sale of the remainder of the securities to be sold in the Eligible Offering. At the closing of such sale, Constar shall sell to Crown, and Crown shall purchase from Constar, for the consideration and on the terms set forth
in the Notice of Eligible Offering, the number of securities that Crown shall have elected to purchase. 
  
 (c)  Sale to Third Parties.    If Crown does not exercise its Option with respect to any securities included in an Eligible Offering within the required twenty (20) day period, then Constar may
sell such securities to third parties, but only upon the terms set forth in the Notice of Eligible Offering and only within a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery therof to Crown. After the expiration of such 120-day period, no
Eligible Offering may be made or consummated unless Constar resubmits a Notice of Eligible Offering and complies with this Section 8.1. 
  
 (d)  Exceptions to Issuances of Equity Securities.    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Crown shall not have any preemptive right to purchase equity
securities issued in connection with, and up to the amounts authorized by, the employee compensation plans described in the Registration Statement. 
  
 (e)  Effect of Failure to Exercise.    Except as provided in Section 8.1, any failure by Crown to exercise the Option, or any exercise for less than all shares
purchasable under the Option, in connection with any particular Eligible Offering shall not affect Crown’s right to exercise the Option in connection with any subsequent Eligible Offering.

 20NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

 Exhibit 10.3 
 Execution Copy

  
 NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 20, 2002 , by and between CONSTAR INTERNATIONAL INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Constar”) and CROWN CORK & SEAL COMPANY, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Crown”). 
  
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A.    Crown
owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Constar. 
  
 B.    Crown and Constar are contemplating that an initial public offering will be made of the capital stock of Constar (the “Initial Public Offering”), resulting in public ownership of Constar.
This Non-Competition Agreement is ancillary to, and necessary to assure the success of, the Initial Public Offering. 
  
 C.    In the Initial Public Offering, Crown will be receiving valuable consideration from the new public shareholders of Constar for the going concern value of Constar. In order to protect the value of the
underlying know-how, goodwill and assets of Constar and the Constar shareholders’ investment therein, to assure that Crown does not unfairly appropriate that value, and to facilitate the establishment of Constar as a freestanding company, Crown
is agreeing to restrict certain commercial activities for a limited period of time following the date of completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Closing Date”). 
  
 D.    With the exception of a small presence in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Constar currently does not compete in the plastic closures business.
However, as a result of its past joint sales activities with Crown, Constar employees have obtained access to valuable intellectual property of Crown and its Affiliates relating to Crown’s plastic closure business. This intellectual property
includes trade secrets relating to the identity and location of customers, customer buying preferences, product designs, product development programs, prototype designs and other confidential and commercially valuable information. Crown intends to
continue in the plastic closures business and does not intend to license this information to Constar except to the extent necessary to allow Constar to continue the plastic closures business which Constar currently conducts. In order to assure that
Constar does not use these trade secrets to compete unfairly against Crown, Constar is agreeing to restrict the scope of certain of its commercial activities for a limited period of time following the Initial Public Offering. 

 
  
 AGREEMENTS 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Crown and Constar, for themselves and their successors
and assigns, and intending to be legally bound hereby, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 Section
1.    Restrictive Covenants. 
  
 (a)    For purposes
of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to either party, any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such party at any time during the period for which the
determination of affiliation is being made. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” (including the correlative meanings of the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to
any entity, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise. For purposes of this
definition, under no circumstances shall (i) Constar be deemed to be an Affiliate of Crown, (ii) any Affiliates of Constar be deemed to be Affiliates of Crown if such Affiliates’ relationship to Crown exists solely as a result of their being
Affiliates of Constar, (iii) Crown be deemed to be an Affiliate of Constar or (iv) any Affiliates of Crown be deemed to be Affiliates of Constar if such Affiliates’ relationship to Constar exists solely as a result of their being Affiliates of
Crown. 
  
 (b)    Constar covenants and agrees, on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates, that during the five-year period immediately following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), neither Constar nor any of its Affiliates shall directly or indirectly engage in, manage, operate or join in the

 (e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Crown and Constar agree
that (i) Crown may continue to maintain and, at Crown’s option, increase its direct or indirect ownership in the following entities and that the following entities (and their successors and subsidiaries, if any) may engage in the PET Business

	 	(1)
	 
	Empaques Constar S.A. de C.V., a Mexican entity; 
 

  

	 	(2)
	 
	Empaques Sewell S.A. de C.V., a Mexican entity;

 provided, however, that during the Restricted Period, in the event that Crown acquires 100% ownership of any such entity, Crown will cause such entity to refrain from expanding its PET
Business beyond the geographic scope of such PET Business as it existed at the time of Crown’s 

 
 4 

 
acquisition of 100% ownership thereof, and (ii) the FABA Companies may provide technical assistance and research and development services to CMB Plastique Maroc with respect to bottles and
preforms for bottles for water and carbonated soft drinks manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate. 
  
 (f)    Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Ancillary Agreements or as the parties may otherwise mutually agree, each of Crown and Constar covenant and agree that, (i) if this Agreement is terminated,
for a period of two years from the date that this Agreement is terminated, and (ii) if this Agreement is not terminated, during the Restricted Period, neither party, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, solicit for
employment or employ any employee of the other party or any of the other party’s Affiliates (or any successor to the foregoing); provided, however, that the foregoing provision will not prevent either party or their respective
Affiliates from soliciting or employing any such person whose employment with the other party had been terminated (either by such other party or such person) prior to the time any solicitation of such person by such party or its Affiliate occurred.

  
 (g)    Crown and Constar hereby acknowledge and agree that the restrictions
and limitations set forth in this Section 1 are reasonable and fair and are reasonably required for the protection of each other’s interests. Crown and Constar will cause their respective Affiliates to comply with this Agreement. 

 
 (h)    For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Crown or any of its
Affiliates from operating, and it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Crown or any of its Affiliates to operate, the businesses that they currently conduct that are not expressly limited hereby. 
  
 Section 2.    Remedies.  Both Crown and Constar acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any
breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of Section 1 of this Agreement will be inadequate and, accordingly, both Crown and Constar covenant and agree that each party shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies which such party
may have, be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of such covenant, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such
right to obtain equitable relief may be exercised, at the option of such party, concurrently with, prior to, after, or in lieu of, the exercise of any other rights or remedies that such party may have as a result of any such breach or threatened
breach, including the recovery of damages from the other party. 
  
 Section 3.    Waiver of
Breach.  The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party or any respective Affiliates shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by such breaching party
of such or any other provision. 
  
 Section 4.    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

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. 
  
 Section
6.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
  
 Section 7.    Dispute Resolution: Negotiation and Arbitration. 
  
 (a)    The parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation in good
faith between executives who have authority to settle the dispute. A party shall give the other 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 other 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

 6 

  
 (b)    Within 10 Business Days after delivery
of the notice, the designated executives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter, as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to
the other shall be honored in a timely fashion. All negotiations conducted pursuant to this Section 7 (and any of the parties’ submissions in contemplation hereof) shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be treated by the parties and
their representatives as compromise and settlement negotiations under the United States Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar state rules. 
  
 (c)    If the matter in dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the first meeting of the executives to attempt to resolve the dispute, either party may submit the dispute
to binding arbitration to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. 
  
 (d)    The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, as modified or revised by the provisions of this
Section 7, shall govern any arbitration proceeding hereunder. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators selected pursuant to Rule 13 of the Commercial Arbitration Rules, and pre-hearing discovery shall be permitted if and only to the
extent determined by the arbitrator to be necessary in order to effectuate resolution of the matter in dispute. The arbitrator’s decision shall be rendered within 30 days of the conclusion of any hearing hereunder and the arbitrator’s
judgment and award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (e)    Resolution of disputes under the procedures of this Section 7 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.

  
 Section 8.    Consent to Jurisdiction.  Crown and Constar hereby agree and
consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and, in the absence of such Federal jurisdiction, the parties consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
any state court located in the City of Philadelphia and hereby waive 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), 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. 
  
 Section 9.    Successors and
Assigns.  This Agreement, and all rights and powers granted hereby, will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No party hereto may assign its rights or delegate its duties and
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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.

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. 
  
 Section
11.    Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto.

matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 13.    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.

  
 Section 14.    Effectiveness.  The terms of this Agreement shall not become
effective until the completion of Constar’s initial public offering.

15.    Certain Definitions.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Corporate Agreement dated November 20, 2002, between Crown and Constar.
