 Exhibit 10.tt 
  
 CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 
  

THIS AGREEMENT dated as of January 1, 2001, between QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”) and
MARK A. HARRIS (the “Executive”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E
T H        T H A T 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive are party to a certain employment agreement dated as of January 1, 2001 (the Employment Agreement); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the Company and
its subsidiaries be able to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified management personnel and, in particular, that they be assured of continuity of management in the event of any actual or threatened change in control of the Company; and

  
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company believes that
the execution by the Company of change in control agreements with certain management personnel, including the Executive, is an important factor in achieving this desired end. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual obligations and agreements contained herein and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the Executive and the Company agree as follows: 
  
 1. Term of
Agreement. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided for in the
last sentence of this Section 1, this Agreement shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Date”), if any, as a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2 hereof) of the Company occurs; provided, however, that this Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect if: (a) a Change in Control shall not have occurred by January 1, 2006, or such later date as shall have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and agreed to by the Executive or (b)
prior to the Effective Date, the Executive ceases, for any reason, to be an employee of the Company, except that if the Executive status as an employee of the Company is terminated by the Company prior to a Change in Control and it is reasonably
demonstrated that such termination (i) was at the request of a person or entity who or which has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect an imminent Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of an imminent
Change in

 Control, then this Agreement shall become effective, and the Effective Date shall be the date of such termination. On the
Effective Date, the Employment Agreement will automatically terminate without notice or any action by either party thereto, and this Agreement will control and govern the Executives employment relationship with the Company. 
  
 2. Change in Control. 
  
 As used in this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Company
shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
  

	 	(a)	any person (a “Person”), as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (other than
(1) the Company and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries; (2) any ESOP or other employee benefit plan of the Company and any trustee or other fiduciary in such capacity holding securities under such plan; (3) any corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock the Company; or (4) any other Person who is as of the date of this Agreement presently an executive officer of the Company or any group
of Persons of which he/she voluntarily is a part) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting
power of the Company’s then outstanding securities or such lesser percentage of voting power, but not less than 15%, as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine; provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to
have occurred under the provisions of this subsection (a) by reason of the beneficial ownership of voting securities by members of the Benoliel family (as defined below) unless and until the beneficial ownership of all members of the Benoliel family
(including any other individuals or entities who or which, together with any member or members of the Benoliel family, are deemed under Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act to constitute a single Person) exceeds 50% of the combined voting
power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; 

  

	 	(b)	during any two-year period beginning on the date of this Agreement, Directors of the Company in office at the beginning of such period plus any new Director (other than a Director
designated by a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction within the purview of subsections (a) or (c) hereof) whose election by the Board of Directors of the Company or whose 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 3 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the Directors then still in office who either were Directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved shall cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; or

  

	 	(c)	the Company’s shareholders or the Company’s Board of Directors shall approve (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or
surviving corporation or pursuant to which the Company’s voting common shares (the “Common Shares”) would be converted into cash, securities, and/or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which holders of Common Shares
immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of Common Shares of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger as they had in the Common Shares immediately before; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer
(in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets or earning power of the Company; or (iii) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

  
 As used in this Agreement, “members of the Benoliel Family” shall
mean Peter A. Benoliel, his wife and children and their respective spouses and children, and all trusts created by or for the benefit of any of them. 
  
 3. Employment. 
  

	 	(a)	From the Effective Date and until either party hereto shall have given the other at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of a desire to terminate this Agreement (the
“Employment Period”) and thereby the Executive employment hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ (directly and/or indirectly through a subsidiary), and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the
employ of the Company (and/or any such subsidiary), to exercise such authority, to perform such duties, and to possess such status, offices, support staff, titles, and reporting requirements as are at least commensurate with those generally
exercised, performed, and possessed by the Executive during the ninety (90) day period immediately prior to the Effective Date or such lesser period as the Executive shall have been employed by the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Base
Period”). Such services shall be performed at the location where the Executive was primarily employed during the Base Period or at such other location as the Company may reasonably require, provided that the Executive shall not be required

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 4 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 to accept a primary employment location which is more than 40 km from the location at which he primarily
was employed during the Base Period. During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to perform faithfully, diligently, and efficiently his responsibilities
hereunder. 
  

	 	(b)	The Executive acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to give him continued rights to employment by the Company or its subsidiaries as a Executive or any other
capacity with respect to any period prior to the Effective Date, if any, of this Agreement or, subject to subsection 1(b) hereof, to entitle the Executive to compensation or benefits in the event of termination of the Executive employment prior to
the Effective Date. Executive employment with the Company prior to the Effective Date, subject to subsection 1(b) hereof, will be controlled by the Employment Agreement. 

  
 4. Compensation, Benefits, etc. 
  
 During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be compensated as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	The Executive shall (i) receive an annual cash base salary, payable not less frequently than semi-monthly, which is not less than the annualized cash base salary payable to
Executive as of the Effective Date; (ii) be entitled to at least as favorable annual incentive award opportunity under the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan as he did in the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the
Change of Control Event occurs; and (iii) be eligible to participate in all of the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plans and programs on terms that are at least as favorable to the Executive as provided to the Executive in the four
calendar years prior to the Effective Date. 

  

	 	(b)	The Executive shall be entitled to receive fringe benefits, employee benefits, and perquisites (including, but not limited to, vacation, medical, disability, dental, and life
insurance benefits) which are at least as favorable to those made generally available as of the Effective Date to Company executives similarly situated to Executive (taking into account the benefit programs in Executive’s primary location of
employment). 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (whether in 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 5 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 this Section 4, in Section 6, or elsewhere), (i) the Board of Directors may authorize an increase in the
amount, duration, and nature of and/or the acceleration of any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement, as well as waive or reduce the requirements for entitlement thereto and (ii) the Company may deduct from amounts otherwise payable
to the Executive such amounts as it reasonably believes it is required to withhold for the payment of federal, state, and local taxes. 
  
 5. Early Termination of Employment. 
  
 The Executive Employment Period shall terminate without the Company providing sixty (60) days prior written notice as required under Section 3 hereof in
the following circumstances: 
  

	 	(a)	the Executive death; 

  

	 	(b)	at the option of the Company in the event of the Executive Disability (as defined below); or 

  

	 	(c)	at the option of the Company for Cause (as defined below). 

  
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall be defined as provided for in the disability plan then in effect covering Executives generally, including the
Executive, the definition of covered total and permanent “disability” set forth in such plan, and “Cause” shall mean (a) willful and material breach of this Agreement by the Executive, (b) dishonesty, fraud, willful malfeasance,
gross negligence, or other gross misconduct, in each case relating to the performance of the Executive employment hereunder which is materially injurious to the Company, or (c) conviction of or plea of guilty to a felony, such Cause to be
determined, in each case, by a resolution approved by at least two-thirds of the Directors of the Company after having afforded the Executive a reasonable opportunity to appear before the Board of Directors of the Company and present his position.

  
 6. Compensation, Benefits, etc. upon Termination. 
  

	 	(a)	If the Executive Employment Period is terminated by death, Disability, resignation (other than a resignation in the circumstances set forth in subsection (c) below), or for Cause,
the Company shall be obligated only to provide the compensation, benefits, etc. set forth in Section 4 hereof up to the date of termination; provided, however, that the Executive shall be entitled to such additional compensation and benefits, if
any, as may be provided for under the express terms of any benefit plans or programs of the Company and its subsidiaries in which he is then participating. 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 6 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

	 	(b)	In the event of the death of the Executive while this Agreement is in effect and as to which no notice of termination has been given by the Executive, the Company shall (i) continue
to pay a sum of money equal to the salary that would have been paid to him for four months following his death just as if he were living, and (ii) the Company shall pay a death benefit equal to his then current annual salary plus $30,000 to be paid
in three equal payments, without interest, on the 16, 28, and 40 month anniversaries of the date of his death. Payments made pursuant to this subsection 6(b) shall be made to the person or persons who may be designated by the Executive in writing,
and, in the event he fails to so designate to whom payments shall be made, payments shall be made to the Executive personal representatives. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Executive Employment Period is terminated within three (3) years of the Effective Date (“Covered Termination”) by: 

  

	 	(i)	the Company without Cause; or 

  

	 	(ii)	resignation of the Executive as a result of (1) a material adverse change in the nature or scope of the Executive authorities, powers, functions, or duties from those described in
Section 3 hereof; a reduction in the Executive total compensation, benefits, etc. from those provided for in Section 4 hereof; or a material breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or (2) a reasonable determination by the
Executive that, as a result of a Change in Control of the Company and a change in the Company’s circumstances and/or operations thereafter significantly affecting his or her position, he is unable effectively to exercise the authorities,
powers, functions, or duties contemplated by Section 3 hereof. 

  

	 	(d)	In the event of a Covered Termination, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Executive in cash a severance allowance (the “Severance Allowance”) equal to 1.5
times the sum of the amounts determined in accordance with the following subsections (i) and (ii): 

  

	 	(i)	an amount equivalent to the highest annualized base salary which the Executive was entitled to receive from the Company and its subsidiaries at any time during his employment prior
to the Effective Date; and 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 7 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

	 	(ii)	an amount equal to the greatest of the annual amounts paid to the Executive under all applicable annual incentive compensation plans maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries
(other than compensation relating to relocation expense; the grant, exercise, or settlement of stock options or performance incentive units or the sale or other disposition of shares received upon exercise or settlement of such options) during any
of the three (3) calendar years prior to the year in which the Effective Date occurs (provided, however, that there shall be excluded from such calculation any amounts paid to the Executive under any such incentive compensation plan as a result of
the acceleration of such payments under such plan due to termination of the plan, a Change in Control Event, or a similar occurrence). 

  

	 	(e)	The Severance Allowance shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum within sixty (60) days after the date of any termination of the Executive covered by subsections 6(c)(i) or
6(c)(ii). 

  

	 	(f)	Subject to subsection (h) below: 

  

	 	(i)	for a period of one year following a Covered Termination of the Executive, the Company shall make or cause to be made available to the Executive, at its expense, outplacement
counseling and other outplacement services comparable to those available for the Company’s senior executives prior to the Effective Date; and 

  

	 	(ii)	for a period of 18 months following a Covered Termination of the Executive, the Executive and the Executive dependents shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s life,
medical, dental and long-term disability insurance plans at the Company’s expense (to the extent provided in such plans at the time of such covered Termination) as if the Executive were still employed by the Company or its subsidiaries under
this Agreement. 

  

	 	(g)	If, despite the provisions of subsection (f) above, life, medical, dental or long-term disability insurance benefits are not paid or provided under any such plan to the Executive or
his dependents because the Executive is no longer an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company itself shall, to the extent necessary, pay or otherwise provide for such benefits to the Executive or his dependents.

	  	- 8 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

	 	(h)	In the event the Executive becomes employed (as defined below) during the period with respect to which payments or benefits are continuing pursuant to subsections 6(f) and/or 6(g)
hereof: (1) the Executive shall notify the Company not later than the day such employment commences; and (2) the benefits provided for in subsections 6(f) and 6(g) shall terminate as of the date of such employment. For the purposes of this
subsection (h), the Executive shall be deemed to have become “employed” by another entity or person only if the Executive becomes essentially a full-time employee of a person or an entity (not more than 30% of which is owned by the
Executive and/or members of his family); and the Executive “family” shall mean his parents, his siblings and their spouses, his children and their spouses, and the Executive spouse and her parents and siblings. Nothing herein shall relieve
the Company of its obligations for compensation or benefits accrued up to the time of termination provided for herein. 

  

	 	(i)	In the event the Executive employment is terminated by the Company at any time (other than for Cause) after the third year anniversary of the Effective Date (i.e., not a
Covered Termination), then the Company agrees to provide the Executive with out-placement assistance consistent with subsection 6(f)(i) above and a severance payment that shall be the higher of (1) the amount the Executive is entitled to under the
Company’s then current severance policy or (2) 12 months’ base salary calculated at the Executive then current rate. 

  

	 	(j)	Except as expressly provided in subsections (a), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (i) above, or under the express terms of any compensation or benefits plans of the Company or its
subsidiaries applicable to the Executive, upon the termination date of Executive employment with the Company, all other compensation and benefits of the Executive shall cease to accrue; provided, however, that the Severance Allowance payable under
subsection (d) and the severance amount payable under subsection (i), as the case may be, shall be in lieu of any severance payments to which the Executive might otherwise be entitled under the terms of any severance pay plan, policy, or arrangement
maintained by the Company or the Employment Agreement and shall be credited against any severance payments to which the Executive may be entitled by statute. Furthermore, the Company’s obligations to pay any amount (including the Severance

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 9 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 Amount) and provide the other benefits set forth in this Section 6 are contingent upon the Executive
executing a form of release reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 
  

	 	(k)	Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company (or any successor thereto), on or before the Effective Date, shall place into escrow an amount equal to the Severance
Allowance which the Executive would be entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (d) above in the event of a Covered Termination, which escrowed funds shall be held pursuant to the terms of this subsection (k). 

  

	 	(i)	The Escrow Agent (“Escrow Agent”) shall be First Union National Bank, as such other national banking association designated by the Company on or before the
Effective Date. 

  

	 	(ii)	On or before the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver to Escrow Agent a sum equal to the Severance Allowance which the Executive would be entitled to receive in the event of a
Covered Termination (the “Escrow Fund”). The Escrow Fund shall be invested by Escrow Agent in certificates of deposit with duration not more than 30 days issued by any bank (including Escrow Agent) or savings institution the
accounts of which are insured by the FDIC (a maximum of $100,000 in any single such institution). Any cash accumulation with respect to the Escrow Fund in the form of interest shall be the property of and shall be payable by Escrow Agent to the
Company (or to any successor to the Company) as received by Escrow Agent and for purposes of this Agreement are not part of the Escrow Fund. 

  

	 	(iii)	In the event that the Executive employment with the Company (or any successor to the Company) is terminated pursuant to a Covered Termination, the Executive shall send Escrow Agent
and the Company (or its successor) a written demand substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (a “Demand”). If the Company (or its successor) does not send a written objection substantially in the form
of Exhibit B attached to this Agreement (an “Objection”) to Escrow Agent and the Executive prior to the end of the Objection Period (hereinafter defined), Escrow Agent shall pay the Escrow Fund to the Executive within thirty
(30) days from the date set out in the Demand. The Objection Period shall begin on the date set out in the Demand and shall end at 5:00 p.m. Philadelphia time, on the tenth calendar day following 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 10 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 the date set out in the Demand, or if the tenth calendar day is not a day when Escrow Agent is generally
open for business in Philadelphia, the Objection Period shall end at 5:00 p.m. Philadelphia time, on the next day after such tenth day that Escrow Agent is generally open for business in Philadelphia. For purposes of this subsection (k),
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11, a Demand and an Objection shall not be deemed received until Escrow Agent shall have actually received the Demand or Objection, as the case may be, and all time frames specified in this subsection (k)
shall be measured from the actual date of Escrow Agent’s receipt. 
  

	 	(iv)	If Escrow Agent does receive an Objection before the end of the Objection Period, Escrow Agent shall not pay the Escrow Fund to the Executive, and, except as provided herein, shall
not comply with any claims, demands or instructions from the Executive and/or The Company (or its successor) with respect to the Escrow Fund. Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to the Company (or its successor), the Executive or
any other person or entity for its failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims or demands. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to Escrow Agent, or (iii) Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to Escrow Agent
sufficient to save it harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or expense which it may incur by reason of its acting. Escrow Agent may in addition elect to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders, as it
may deem necessary. All of Escrow Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses of bringing and maintaining such action, including but not limited to reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel for Escrow Agent, shall be paid by the Company (or
its successor). 

  

	 	(v)	In the event that Escrow Agent does not receive any Demand from the Executive within three (3) years from the Effective Date, Escrow Agent shall pay the Escrow Fund to the Company
(or its successor) at the end of such three (3) year period. 

  

	 	(vi)	Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities shall be limited to 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 11 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 those expressly set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, nor obligated to recognize, any
other agreement between or direction or instruction of any of the parties to this Agreement or of any third party even though reference thereto may be made herein. If any portion of the Escrow Fund is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon,
or in case the transfer or delivery of the Escrow Fund shall be stayed or enjoined, or in the case of any other legal process or judicial order affecting the Escrow Fund, then Escrow Agent is authorized to comply with any such order in any manner as
it or legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate; and if it complies with any process, order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order or process
may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect. 
  

	 	(vii)	Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act taken or omitted under this Agreement except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in
relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document which Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine. Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel at the expense of the Company (or its successor) as to the construction of any
of the provisions of this Agreement, and Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with any such advice. 

  

	 	(viii)	Except as expressly provided and agreed, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible in any respect for the form, execution, validity or genuineness of documents deposited under this
Agreement, or for any description therein, or for the identity, authority or rights of persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such document. 

  

	 	(ix)	The Company (and its successors) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any loss, liability, costs, damages and expenses, including reasonable counsel
fees, that are incurred by Escrow Agent and that are out of or in connection with its acceptance or administration of this Agreement or being Escrow Agent under this Agreement, except for those arising solely from Escrow Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 12 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

	 	(x)	Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof. Within 20 days after receiving the aforesaid notice, the Company (or its successor) and the
Executive shall jointly agree on and appoint a successor Escrow Agent at which time Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Fund then held hereunder to the successor Escrow Agent. 

  

	 	(xi)	The Company (or its successor) shall pay all usual and customary charges and fees of Escrow Agent due to the Escrow Agent for its services hereunder. 

  

	 	(xii)	The escrow provisions created hereunder may be amended or canceled by and upon written notice to Escrow Agent at any time given jointly by each of the Company (or its successor) and
the Executive, but the duties, responsibilities or liabilities of Escrow Agent may not be increased without its prior written consent. This subsection (k) shall terminate upon the payment by Escrow Agent of the entire amount of the Escrow Fund,
provided that all of Escrow Agent’s rights shall continue beyond such termination, including, but not limited to, its rights to fees and indemnification. 

  
 7. Confidentiality and Non-Competition. 
  

	 	(a)	The Executive acknowledges that information concerning the method and conduct of the Company’s (and any affiliate’s) business, including, without limitation, strategic and
marketing plans, budgets, corporate practices and procedures, financial statements, customer and supplier information, formulae, formulation information, application technology, manufacturing information, and laboratory test methods and all of the
Company’s (and any affiliate’s) manuals, documents, notes, letters, records, and computer programs are the Company’s (and/or the Company’s affiliate’s, as the case may be) trade secrets (Trade Secrets) and are the sole and
exclusive property of the Company (and/or the Company’s affiliates, as the case may be). The Executive agrees that at no time during or following his employment with the Company will he use, divulge, or pass on, directly or through any other
individual or entity, any Trade Secrets. Upon termination of the Executive employment with the Company regardless of the reason for the termination of the Executive employment hereunder, or at any other time upon the Company’s request, the
Executive agrees to forthwith surrender to the Company any and all materials in his possession or control which include or contain any such Trade Secrets. The words 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 13 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 Trade Secrets do not include information already known to the public through no act or failure to act on
the part of the Executive, required by law to be disclosed, or which can be clearly shown by written records to have been known by the Executive prior to the commencement of his employment with the Company. 
  

	 	(b)	The Executive agrees that during his employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, regardless of the reason for the termination of the Executive employment hereunder, he
will not: 

  

	 	(i)	directly or indirectly, together or separately or with any third party, whether as an individual proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer, director, joint venturer, investor, or in
any other capacity whatsoever actively engage in business or assist anyone or any firm in business as a manufacturer, seller, or distributor of specialty chemical products or chemical management services which are the same, like, similar to, or
which compete with the products and services offered by the Company (or any of its affiliates); 

  

	 	(ii)	recruit or solicit any employee of the Company (or any of its affiliates) or otherwise induce such employee to leave the employ of the Company (or any of its affiliates) or to
become an employee or otherwise be associated with his or any firm, corporation, business or other entity with which he is or may become associated; and 

  

	 	(ii)	solicit, directly or indirectly, for himself or as agent or employee of any person, partnership, corporation, or other entity (other than for the Company) any then or former
customer, supplier, or client of the Company with the intent of actively engaging in business which would cause competitive harm to the Company (or any of its affiliates). 

  
 The EXECUTIVE forfeits in favor of Quaker a penalty payable forthwith of Dfl. 100,000.— for each day of infringement of
the above-mentioned prohibition, without prejudice to the right of Quaker to claim actual damages in addition to such penalty. Quaker may at any time at its own initiative, or at the request of the undersigned EXECUTIVE, wholly or partly waive the
stipulation referred to in this article. As long as the undersigned EXECUTIVE has not requested Quaker to waive the stipulation as referred to in this article, this stipulation shall be deemed between the parties not to harm the EXECUTIVE
unreasonably, nor to impede him in a significant way to be employed otherwise than by Quaker.

 8. Set-Off; Mitigation. 
  
 Subject to Section 6(h) hereof, the Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and
otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other claim, right, or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be
obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 9. Arbitration: Costs and Expenses of Enforcement. 
  

	 	(a)	Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b) hereof, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof which cannot promptly be resolved by
the parties shall be promptly submitted to and settled exclusively by arbitration in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by three arbitrators, one of whom shall be appointed by the
Company, one by the Executive, and the third of whom shall be appointed by the first two arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except with respect to the selection of
arbitrators which shall be as provided in this Section 9. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

  

	 	(b)	In the event that it shall be necessary or desirable for the Executive to retain legal counsel and/or incur other costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement of any and
all of his rights under this Agreement, the Company shall pay (or the Executive shall be entitled to recover from the Company, as the case may be) his reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement of his
said rights (including those incurred in or related to any arbitration proceedings provided for in subsection (a) above and the enforcement of any arbitration award in court), regardless of the final outcome, unless the arbitrators or a court shall
determine that under the circumstances recovery by the Executive of all or a part of any such fees and costs and expenses would be unjust. 

  
 10. Certain Additional Payments by the Company. 
  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 15 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 10) (a Payment) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or
penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Excise Tax), payment (a Gross-Up Payment) in an amount such that
after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes, calculated at the maximum federal and state rates for individuals in the year in
which a Payment is made (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

  

	 	(b)	Subject to the provisions of Section 10(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 10, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of
such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company’s independent certified public accountants (the Accounting Firm) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both
to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant
or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to
as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 10, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five days of
the receipt of the Accounting Firms determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive
applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial

	  	- 16 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have
been made by the Company should have been made (Underpayment), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 10(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to
make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 17 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

	 	(c)	The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment.
Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim
prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the
Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii) take such action in
connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all
costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties
with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest
and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed
and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as
the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify
and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance;
and further provided that any 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 18 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the
Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would
be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
  

	 	(d)	If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 10(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such
claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 10(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto).
If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 10(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the
Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset,
to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 

  
 11. Notices. 
  
 Any notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing, and if hand delivered or if sent by registered or certified mail, if to the Executive, at the last address he had
filed in writing with the Company or if to the Company, at its principal Executive offices. Notices, requests, etc. shall be effective when actually received by the addressee or at such address. 
  
 12. Assignment and Benefit. 
  

	 	(a)	This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the Executive, by operation of law, or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Company
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive heirs and legal representatives. 

  

	 	(b)	This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including without limitation, 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 19 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 any subsidiary of the Company to which the Company may assign any of its rights hereunder; provided,
however, that no assignment of this Agreement by the Company, by operation of law, or otherwise shall relieve it of its obligations hereunder except an assignment of this Agreement to, and its assumption by, a successor pursuant to subsection (c)
below. 
  

	 	(c)	The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, but, irrespective of any such
assignment or assumption, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon such a successor. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or
assets as aforesaid. 

  
 13. Governing Law.

  
 The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to principles of conflicts of laws. 
  
 14. Full Settlement. 
  
 In the event of the termination of the Executive Employment Period under this Agreement, the payments and other benefits provided for by this Agreement
(except as otherwise provided under the express terms of any compensation or benefit plans of the Company or its subsidiaries or as may otherwise be provided by applicable law) shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company and its
subsidiaries to the Executive and shall also constitute full and complete settlement of any claim under law or in equity that the Executive might otherwise assert against the Company, its subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective directors,
officers, or employees on account of such termination of employment. 
  
 15.
Entire Agreement. 
  
 This Agreement represents the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and it may not be altered or amended except by an agreement in writing. 

					
	 Mark A. Harris
	  	- 20 -	  	Change of Control Agreement

  

 16. No Waiver. 
  
 The failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement by any party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any future
non-compliance with such provision or of non-compliance with any other provision. 
  
 17. Severability. 
  
 In the event that
any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set his hand and, pursuant to
the authorization from its Board of Directors, the Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name and on its behalf and attested by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, all as of the day and year first above written.

 Exhibit 10.uu 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 1st day of January 2001, by and between QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation
(hereinafter referred to as “QUAKER”), and L. WILBERT PLATZER (hereinafter referred to as “EXECUTIVE”). 
  
 BACKGROUND 
  
 EXECUTIVE has been employed with Quaker Chemical Europe B.V., a Quaker affiliated company, at various positions including, most recently, as its Managing
Director. QUAKER now wishes to employ EXECUTIVE as a Vice President-Worldwide Operations, and EXECUTIVE wishes to be employed by QUAKER in that position. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree
as follows: 
  

	1)	Effective as of the date written above QUAKER agrees to employ EXECUTIVE, and EXECUTIVE agrees to serve as Quaker’s Vice President-Worldwide Operations . He shall perform all
duties consistent with such position as well as any other duties that are assigned to him from time to time by the President, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Directors of QUAKER. EXECUTIVE covenants and agrees that he will, during the term
of this Employment Agreement or any extension or renewal thereof, devotes his knowledge, skill, and working time solely and exclusively to the business and interests of QUAKER. 

  

	2)	Since EXECUTIVE’s new position is with QUAKER, EXECUTIVE’s employment contract with Quaker Chemical B.V. dated March 1, 1996, as amended per a letter dated July 23, 1999,
is hereby terminated as of December 31, 2000, and has no continuing legal effect other than recognizing years of service for any applicable benefits to be extended pursuant to this Agreement. 

  

	3)	Except as otherwise provided for in Paragraph 10, the term of EXECUTIVE’s employment shall continue for an indefinite period of time. The employment may be terminated by either
party with due observance of the statutory notice period. Notice may only be given in writing. 

					
	 L. Wilbert Platzer
	  	- 2 -	  	Employment Agreement

  

	4)	QUAKER shall pay to EXECUTIVE and EXECUTIVE shall accept an annual rate of salary as set forth in Addendum 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, payable monthly, during the term
of this Employment Agreement or any extension or renewal thereof. The rate of salary will be reviewed on an annual basis consistent with QUAKER’s then current practice for reviewing officers’ salaries and performance. Addendum 1 also
contains terms and benefits of your employment with QUAKER. 

  

	5)	EXECUTIVE shall participate in such QUAKER Incentive Programs as described and set forth in Addendum 1. As an Officer of QUAKER, the particulars of Addendum 1 as it relates to
Quaker Incentive Programs may be amended by the Board of Directors at any time including eligibility to participate in any given QUAKER incentive plan, the level of participation in any QUAKER incentive plan, and the terms and conditions of any
QUAKER incentive plan. Any changes to Addendum 1 shall not affect any of the other terms and conditions hereof including, without limitation, the convenants contained in the Declaration of Secrecy and Non-Competition attached Addendum 2. For the
purposes of this Agreement, the term “QUAKER Incentive Program” shall refer to each individual as well as the combined incentive programs approved by the Board of Directors. Revisions to Addendum 1 shall become effective upon notification
in writing by QUAKER. 

  

	6)	In the event of the death of EXECUTIVE while this Employment Agreement is in effect and as to which no notice of termination has been given by EXECUTIVE or, in the case of a
Termination for Cause (as defined hereafter), by QUAKER, QUAKER shall (i) continue to pay a sum of money equal to the salary that would have been paid to him for four months following his death just as if he were living, and (ii) QUAKER shall pay a
death benefit equal to his then current annual salary plus $30,000 to be paid in three equal payments, without interest, on the 16, 28, and 40 month anniversary of the date of his death. Payments made pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall be made to
the person or persons who may be designated by EXECUTIVE in writing, and, in the event he fails to so designate to whom payments shall be made, payments shall be made to EXECUTIVE’s personal representatives. 

  

	7)	The duties and nature of the position of EXECUTIVE will necessitate full and detailed access to QUAKER strategic, financial, operational and technical information. In view thereof,
EXECUTIVE, has agreed to sign the Declaration of Secrecy and Non-Competition, attached hereto as Addendum 2 and made a part hereof

retirement age), QUAKER agrees to provide EXECUTIVE with reasonable out-placement assistance and a severance payment (contingent upon EXECUTIVE executing a form of release satisfactory to QUAKER) that shall be equal to twelve (12) months’ base
salary calculated at EXECUTIVE’s then current rate. 

  

	9)	This Employment Agreement also can be terminated (and thereby terminate EXECUTIVE’s employment with QUAKER) at any time and without notice by “Termination for Cause.”
Termination for Cause means EXECUTIVE’s employment with QUAKER shall have been terminated by QUAKER by reason of either: 

  

	 	a)	The willful and continued failure (following written notice) by EXECUTIVE to execute his duties under this Employment Agreement; or 

  

	 	b)	The willful engaging by EXECUTIVE in a continued course of misconduct which is materially injurious to QUAKER, monetarily or otherwise. 

  

	10)	EXECUTIVE represents and warrants to QUAKER that: 

  

	 	a)	there are no restrictions, agreements, or understandings whatsoever to which EXECUTIVE is a party which would prevent or make unlawful his execution of this Employment Agreement or
his employment hereunder; and 

  

	 	b)	his execution of this Employment Agreement and his employment hereunder shall not constitute a breach of any contract agreement, or understanding, oral or written, to which he is a
party or by which he is bound. 

  

	11)	This Employment Agreement together with the Addenda hereto contains all the agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to EXECUTIVE’s employment by
QUAKER and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements with respect thereto and shall be binding upon and for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Employment Agreement
with the inclusion of all Addenda hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands.

any other capacity whatsoever actively engage in business or assist anyone or any firm in business as a manufacturer, seller, or distributor of chemical specialty products or chemical management services which are the same, like, similar to, or
which compete with the products and services offered by employer (or any of its affiliates); and 

  

	b)	recruit or solicit any employee of Quaker or otherwise induce such employee to leave the employ of Quaker or to become an employee or otherwise associated with his or any firm,
corporation, business, or other entity with which the EXECUTIVE is or may become associated.
