(Amended and Restated January 1, 2008)

     This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), entered into as of January 1, 2003, by and
between The Lubrizol Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and Charles P. Cooley (the

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Executive is a senior executive of the Company and has made and is expected to
continue to make major contributions to the profitability, growth and financial strength of the
Company;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage Executive to remain with the Company for a number
of years.

     WHEREAS, this Agreement is not intended to alter materially the compensation and benefits
which the Executive could reasonably expect to receive from the Company that are not addressed
within this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to render services to the Company on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1. If the Executive remains in the employ of the Company until January 1, 2008, he will receive
15,000 Lubrizol Common Shares issued in the lump sum between January 2, 2008 and March 15, 2008.
The Company shall withhold from any payment hereunder the amount required to pay applicable
withholding taxes.

2. Executive will not have voting or dividend rights in number of shares listed in 1.A above,
unless and until the Shares are issued.

3. Successors and Assigns to the Company

	 	A.	 	The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to
perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including
without limitation any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be
deemed the “Company” for the purposes of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be
assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company.

Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees and/or legatees.

 

 

	 	C.	 	This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto will,
without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 3(A) and (B)
above. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive’s right to
receive the benefits hereunder is not assignable, transferable or delegable, whether
by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by
his will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any
attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 3(C), the Company has no
liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated.

	 	D.	 	The Company and the Executive recognize that each party will have no
adequate remedy at law for breach by the other of any of the agreements contained
herein and, in the event of any such breach, the Company and the Executive hereby
agree and consent that the other shall be entitled to a decree of specific
performance, mandamus or other appropriate remedy to enforce performance of this
Agreement.

4. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications including without limitation notices,
consents, requests or approvals, provided for herein must be in writing and will be deemed to have
been duly given when delivered or five business days after having been mailed by United States
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company
(to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) at its principal executive office and to the
Executive at his principal residence, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to
the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be
effective only upon receipt.

5. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement is governed by the
laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such
State.

6. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or
circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected,
and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to
the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid and legal.

7. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver,
modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and the Company. No
waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance
with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be
deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth
expressly in this Agreement, other than the Employment Agreement between Executive and the Company
dated July 24, 2000, as may be amended from time to time, which remains in full force and effect.

8. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be
an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement.
