      together with other urban content and mainstream projects to which
      Renaissance also has access, Wylie wishes to collaborate with
      GBHL.

      appropriate foreign sales agent for any non-GBHL projects);

      principal set forth in Section 5(d), below.
	 	 
	 4) 	Market and promote
      the Structured Financing concept and otherwise raise capital for GR
      Funding.

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    3. Term:
The term (“Term”) of the Venture will commence on the date hereof and continue
until the earlier of (a) termination by either party to this agreement upon
thirty days notice, or (b) the eventual financing of GR Funding and/or the
production of a Project utilizing financing procured by GR Funding and approved
by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, at which
point this Agreement shall not be terminable except by mutual agreement or legal
proceedings and shall continue in effect so long as the parties shall retain
their respective interests in the entities jointly owned and or controlled by
them or in accordance with the agreements entered into between them with respect
to each project undertaken by the parties. Except as provided in paragraph 4
below, in the event this Agreement is terminated in good faith by either party
prior to the funding of GR Funding and/or the production of a Project undertaken
pursuant hereto, neither party shall owe any further obligation whatsoever to
the other.

    
    

     

    4.
Relationship of the Parties: Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create
an employer/employee or agency relationship between the Parties and neither
party shall have the power or authority to bind the other to any commitments or
obligations whatsoever unless with the other’s express written consent. In that
regard neither Party shall be obligated to offer any idea, project or other
business matter to the other, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that all
rights under doctrines of “partnership opportunities” or “fiduciary obligations”
in connection with such transactions, opportunities, business or other
enterprises are hereby expressly waived, and each shall be free to pursue any
other business activities whatsoever, whether or not same are in competition to
the other except as limited by the non-circumvention provisions of this
Agreement. The foregoing to the contrary and notwithstanding, the Parties have
previously entered into a non-circumvention agreement, which shall remain in
full force and effect and shall take precedence in the case of a conflict of
terms.

              a.

            	
              GR
      Funding will be formed by GBHL as a subsidiary and a Nevada Limited
      Liability Company, which is owned 51% by GBHL and 49% by Renaissance,
      and/or its designees, but voting control shall be shared equally by the

              i.

            	
              In
      exchange for financing each particular motion picture project (“Project”),

      notwithstanding their respective unequal ownership interests in GR
      Funding.

            

    

     

    
      	
              iii.

      realized in a manner that is in full compliance with all applicable SEC
      rules and regulations and in compliance with any State Blue Sky

documentation.

            

    

     

    
      	
              c.

            	
              Godboldo
      shall receive a 5% equity ownership interest in Renaissance in exchange
      for his granting GR Metropolitan a right of first refusal on all projects

Films.

            

    

     

    
      	
              d.

            	
              Project
      and/or motion picture financing may be structured in part by GR Funding
      providing a portion of the funds raised to GBHL as part of the plan to
      implement Structured Financing and attract investors, all such strategies
      to be subject to the mutual approval of the Parties on a “project by
      project” basis and subject to applicable SEC rules and regulations and in
      compliance with State Blue Sky
laws.

            

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
      	 
      e.	
              GR
      Funding will invest in motion picture projects that are approved by the
      Committee and sponsored by GBHL and/or Renaissance, with such approval and
      investment being guided by the agreement of the Parties that overall
      one-half of the capital or funds raised by GR Funding will be deployed for
      motion picture projects sponsored by each of the Parties (i.e., 50% of
      funds will be used for GBHL Sponsored motion picture projects, and the
      balance of funds used for Renaissance Sponsored
  projects).

            

    

     

    
      	
              i.

            	
              Given
      that fifty percent (50%) of each Project funded by GR Funding will be
      acquired by GR Funding initially in the form of a fifty percent (50%)
      ownership interest in the SPV (see 5.a.i. and ii. above), the “Sponsoring
      Party” of each Project (as defined hereinabove) will acquire a thirty-five
      percent (35%) interest in the SPV (out of the remaining 50% of the SPV),
      and the non –Sponsoring Party will acquire the remaining fifteen percent
      (15%) interest in the SPV and the corresponding, pro-rata interest in the
      “Producer’s Profits” upon completion of the Project and provided that all
      financing from GR Funding has been paid in full. The Parties contemplate
      that certain Projects will be considered as “jointly sponsored” by the
      Parties, in which case each would receive a twenty-five percent (25%)
      interest in the SPV and corresponding, pro-rata interest in the
      “Producer’s Profits.”

            

    

     

    
      	
              ii.

            	
              The
      Sponsoring Party will submit details of each proposed Project to the
      Committee of GR Funding, detailing such items as: above the line
      personnel, proposed locations, financial plan, etc., or any other items
      required by the Committee.

            

    

     

    
      	
              iii.

            	
              The
      Sponsoring Party will appoint one or more producers for the motion
      picture, and the non-Sponsoring Party will receive one producer credit and
      one executive producer credit. Producers from the non-Sponsoring Party
      will receive compensation on a “favored nations” basis with any one
      producer appointed by the Sponsoring
Party.

            

    

     

    
      	
              iv.

            	
              Administration
      rights with respect to each film “asset” (i.e. copyright) shall be
      accorded to the Sponsoring Party for that project notwithstanding
      ownership or voting control of the entity in which the “asset” is held.
      Where a project is jointly Sponsored by the parties, the parties shall
      share joint administration of the copyright such that all business
      decisions with respect to a jointly sponsored project shall be subject to
      the mutual approval in writing of the parties which approval shall not be

      Subject to the approval of the Committee on a “case by case” basis for
      Renaissance Sponsored Projects only, GBHL (or its designated subsidiary)
      will be available to serve as the motion picture’s Sales Agent and will be
      responsible for negotiating contracts for foreign distribution of the
      Project in exchange for a sales agency fee of 5% of the motion picture’s
      sale of rights; provided, however, that GBHL shall have the sole right to
      act as Sales Agent for all Projects for which it acts as a Sponsor. Where
      GBHL subcontracts the actual foreign sales function, and/or the domestic
      distribution with respect to a Renaissance Sponsored Project, Renaissance
      shall have approval rights over the terms and conditions of such sales
      agency or distribution agreement, which approval shall not be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed. Where GBHL itself handles the foreign sales, GBHL
      shall be entitled to charge a reasonable distribution fee and terms, to be
      established on a case by case basis by the
  parties.

 RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD GRANT AGREEMENT 
 THIS RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD

 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of TJ Chemical Holdings LLC,
each of the Voting Members of TJ Chemical Holdings LLC (“TJ Chemical”) has approved the grant of restricted shares on membership units of TJ Chemical (the “Restricted Unit Award”) with a current value of $300,000 to Kraton
Management LLC (“Management LLC”), which in turn will grant the same number of Membership Units in Management LLC to the Participant pursuant to his employment agreement with the Company dated April 1, 2008 (the “Employment
Agreement”); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Restricted Units. Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Company hereby grants to the Participant the Restricted Unit Award of 300,000 restricted units of Management LLC (“Restricted Units”). 
 2. Grant Date. The Grant Date of the Restricted Unit Award hereby granted is June 19th, 2008. 
 3. Vesting
Date. The Restricted Unit Award shall vest as follows: One third (1/3) of the Restricted Units shall vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date provided that the Participant remains employed with the Company on each such
anniversary. Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, upon termination of employment for any reason all unvested Restricted Units shall immediately and automatically be forfeited. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the TJ
Chemical 2004 Option Plan), if the Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement) during the one-year period immediately following the date of the Change in
Control, all unvested Restricted Units shall become immediately vested. 
 4. Limitations on Transfer of Membership Units; Permissible
Assignments; Termination of Employment. 
 4.1 Limitations on Transfer. The Participant acknowledges
that upon becoming a member of Management LLC, the Participant will be subject to all the terms and conditions provided in the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of KRATON Management LLC (“Management LLC Operating Agreement”).
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Management LLC Operating Agreement to the contrary, the Participant shall not sell or transfer any Membership Unit acquired pursuant to the distribution of this Restricted Unit A ward, except (i) to the
Participant’s beneficiaries or estate upon the Participant’s death, (ii) upon

 
consent of the Company pursuant to Section 4.2, or (iii) pursuant to Article IX of the Management LLC Operating Agreement. 
 4.2 Permissible Assignments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may request authorization from the Company
to assign his Restricted Unit Award granted herein to a trust or custodianship, the beneficiaries of which may include only the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or the Participant’s lineal descendants (by blood or adoption), and, if
the Company grants such authorization, the Participant may assign his rights accordingly. In the event of any such assignment, such trust or custodianship shall be subject to all the restrictions, obligations, and responsibilities as apply to the
Participant under this Agreement and shall be entitled to all the rights of the Participant under this Agreement; provided that upon such assignment in accordance with this Section 4.2, all references in this Agreement to the
“Participant,” except for such references contained in Section 4.1 and 4.3 of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be replaced by a reference to the transferee of the Restricted Unit Award.

Chemical 2004 Option Plan), TJ Chemical shall have the right to purchase the Participant’s Membership Units acquired pursuant to the Restricted Unit Award in accordance with Article IX of the Management LLC Operating Agreement. Any Membership
Units acquired pursuant to the distribution of the Restricted Unit Award shall be subject to certain tag-along and drag-along rights in accordance with Article IX of the Management LLC Operating Agreement. 
 5. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of
any party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter
occurring nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any
breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party or any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. 
 6. Indemnification. The Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,

and amounts paid in settlement) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or based upon any breach or failure by the Participant to comply with his obligations made herein. This Section 6 shall survive any termination or execution of
this Agreement.
