 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS
TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of this              day of
            , 2002, by and between CONSTAR INTERNATIONAL INC., a Delaware corporation (“Constar”) and CROWN CORK & SEAL COMPANY, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation
(“Crown”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A.    Crown currently provides certain services to Constar and the other Constar Entities (as defined below). 
  
 B.    Crown and Constar are contemplating that an initial public offering will be made of a portion of the capital
stock of Constar (the “Initial Public Offering”), resulting in partial public ownership of Constar, and Crown and Constar both desire for Crown to continue to provide certain services to Constar and the other Constar Entities
following the Initial Public Offering. 
  
 C.    Crown and Constar desire to enter into this
Agreement to set forth the roles and responsibilities with regard to services to be provided by Crown to Constar and the other Constar Entities 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: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
 GENERAL 
  
 1.1.    Definitions.    Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Corporate Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Crown and Constar. 
  
 1.2.    Representations. 
  
 Each of Crown and Constar represents and
warrants to the other that: 
  
 (a)  it has the requisite corporate authority to enter into
and perform this Agreement; 
  
 (b)  its execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on its behalf; and 
 

  
 (c)  this Agreement is enforceable against it.

  
 ARTICLE II 
 SERVICES

  
 2.1.    Services. 
  
 (a)  During the term of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Crown agrees to provide or cause the other Crown
Entities to provide to Constar and the other Constar Entities, as applicable, the services described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Services”). Exhibit A is hereby incorporated by reference herein and forms part of this
Agreement.   
  
 (b)  The level, quality and timeliness of the Services shall be
provided in a manner substantially equivalent to that performed by Crown or the applicable Crown Entity for the Constar Entities prior to the date of execution of this Agreement. 
  
 (c)  Crown and Constar have made a good faith effort as of the date hereof to identify each Service and to complete the content of Exhibit
A accurately. To the extent that Exhibit A is incomplete, Crown and Constar will use good faith efforts to modify Exhibit A. There are certain terms that are specifically addressed in Exhibit A that may differ from the terms
provided herein. In those cases, the specific terms described in Exhibit A shall govern those Services. Crown may reasonably supplement, modify, substitute or otherwise alter the Services from time to time in a manner consistent with
supplements, modifications, substitutions or alterations made with respect to similar services provided or otherwise made available by Crown to its other business units; provided, that such supplements, modifications, substitutions or
alterations do not prevent Constar from realizing substantially the same intended benefits of such Services. 
  
 (d)  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.1, neither of Crown nor any of the other Crown Entities makes any representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, including, without limitation, any
representation or warranty as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose arising out of the Services described in Exhibit A. In furtherance of the foregoing, none of the Crown Entities shall have any liability for any defects
in the Services provided hereunder. 
  
 2.2.    Fees; Payment.    (a)
In consideration for the performance of each of the Services, Constar shall pay to Crown the amount for each of the Services set forth in Exhibit A, as amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. Any federal, state, local or
foreign income taxes, charges, fees, imposts, levies, contributions or other assessments assessed on the provision of each of the Services shall be paid by Constar (all such charges, plus the amounts described in the preceding sentence, the
“Fee”). Within ten (10) days of the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, Crown shall invoice Constar for all Services performed by the Crown Entities during such month in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
unless otherwise provided on Exhibit A. Constar shall pay the Fee for the Services 
 

 2 

 
delivered during the prior month pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the invoice for such Services has been provided by Crown in accordance with this Section 2.2(a).

  
 (b)  The Fees are only applicable to the Services provided until December 31, 2003. If
Constar elects to extend, in accordance with Exhibit A, any Service that may be extended as set forth in Exhibit A, Crown will notify Constar of the Fee for such Service (the “Fee Notice”) within 15 days of
Crown’s receipt of Constar’s notice of extension (the “Extension Notice”). Constar will then have 15 days from its receipt of the Fee Notice to accept such Fee or otherwise reach agreement with Crown on such Fee. If
Constar does not accept such Fee or otherwise reach agreement with Crown within 15 days from Constar’s receipt of the Fee Notice, Constar will be deemed to have revoked its Extension Notice and may obtain such Service from a third party, in
which case Crown will be under no obligation to provide such Service to Constar. 
  
 2.3.    Additional Services.    Crown and Constar may from time to time identify additional Services that they wish to incorporate into this Agreement. In such event, Crown and Constar
will add items to Exhibit A setting forth mutually agreeable descriptions of such additional Services, Fees for such Services and any other applicable terms with respect to such Services. If Crown and Constar cannot mutually agree upon such
additional items, such additional Services will not become part of Exhibit A of this Agreement and Crown will have no obligation to provide such additional Services. 
  
 2.4.    Independent Contractor.    Neither party is now, nor shall it be made by this Agreement, an agent or legal
representative of the other party for any purpose, and neither party has any right or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party, to accept any service of process upon it, or to receive any notices of any
kind on its behalf. All activities by any of the Crown Entities hereunder shall be carried on by such Crown Entity as an independent contractor and not as an agent for Constar or any other Constar Entity. 
  
 2.5.    Representatives.    Crown and Constar will each appoint a representative (each, a
“Representative”) to facilitate communications and performance under this Agreement. Each party may treat an act of a Representative of the other party as being authorized by such other party. The initial Representatives are Torsten
J. Kreider with respect to Crown and James C.T. Bolton with respect to Constar. Each party may replace its Representative at any time for any reason by giving prior written notice of the replacement to the other party. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 COOPERATION 

 
 3.1.    Cooperation.    The parties will use good faith efforts to cooperate
with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. Such good faith cooperation will include using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit each
party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated in whole or in part, the parties will cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in order to effect an efficient transition and to minimize the
disruption to the 
 

 3 

	 	
business of both parties, including the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any contracts. 
 

  
 ARTICLE IV 
 TERM AND TERMINATION 
  
 4.1.    Term.    The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Initial Public Offering
Date and shall continue in effect until December 31, 2003, unless (a) otherwise provided with respect to any Service on Exhibit A, (b) this Agreement is extended in accordance with Exhibit A with respect to any Service that may be
extended as set forth in Exhibit A, (c) Constar terminates this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of a particular Service pursuant to Section 4.2 or proviso (b) of Section 7.11 or (d) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 4.3. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1, the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the rights and obligations of the parties under Section 4.1, Articles V
and VI, and Sections 7.8 and 7.9 hereof, which shall survive such expiration or termination without limitation. Upon such expiration or termination, Crown shall cease to have any obligation to provide any Services, and each party will promptly
deliver to the other all data, programs, software materials, and other properties owned by the other and held by it in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Each party will assist the other at such other party’s reasonable request
in effecting the orderly termination of this Agreement. 
  
 4.2.    Non-Exclusivity.    Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Constar Entities from obtaining the Services, in whole or in part, from their own employees or from providers
other than the Crown Entities at any time. On 90 days advance notice to Crown, Constar may terminate this Agreement as to any Service or portion of such Service. Following any such termination, Crown will be under no obligation to provide any such
terminated Service, and Constar will no longer be liable for the associated Fees set forth in Exhibit A with respect to such terminated Service. 
  
 4.3.    Events of Default. 
  
 (a)  The following shall be considered events of default and shall give rise to a right of Crown to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of Crown’s discovery of such event of default: (i) Constar fails to make
timely payments for invoiced Services, subject to a 10-day cure period after notice of such breach, (ii) Constar or Crown suffers a Bankruptcy Event, (iii) Constar materially breaches any other applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a
30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (iv) Constar or Crown experiences a change of Control such that Constar or Crown is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown. 
  

(b)  The following shall be considered events of default and shall give rise to a right of Constar to terminate this Agreement within 45 days
of Constar’s discovery of such event of default: (i) Constar or Crown suffers a Bankruptcy Event, (ii) Crown materially breaches any other applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice
 
 

 4 

 
regarding such breach or (iii) Constar or Crown experiences a change of Control such that Constar or Crown is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown. 
  
 (c)  Each party shall provide the other party with prompt notice upon discovery of a default by the other party;
provided, that failure to give such notice shall not limit or restrict the ability of a party to terminate this Agreement subject to the cure periods provided in this Section 4.3. 
  
 (d)  For purposes of this Section 4.3, “Bankruptcy Event” means with respect to either Crown or Constar, as applicable, (i) the
making by such party of any assignment for the benefit of creditors of all or substantially all of its assets or the admission by such party in writing of its inability to pay all or substantially all of its debts as they become due; (ii) the
adjudication of such party as bankrupt or insolvent or the filing by such party of a petition or application to any tribunal for the appointment of a trustee or receiver for such party or any substantial part of the assets of such party; or (iii)
the commencement of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings (and, with respect to involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, the failure to be discharged within 60 days), reorganization proceedings or similar proceeding with respect to such
party or the entry of an order appointing a trustee or receiver or approving a petition in any such proceeding. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
 NONDISCLOSURE/CONFIDENTIALITY 
  
 5.1.    Confidentiality.    The parties agree (a) to maintain all information, whether in written, oral, electronic or other form, necessary for or
utilized or received in the course of providing the Services, as the case may be, including, without limitation, know-how, material, manufacturing, tooling and equipment specifications and other information necessary to the provision or receipt of
Services, as the case may be (the “Confidential Information”), as secret and confidential, (b) that all such Confidential Information shall be used only for purposes of the provision of Services hereunder and for no other purpose
whatsoever, and (c) not to disclose the Confidential Information to any third person or party (except for employees, counsel, consultants or assignees who have a need to know and are informed of the confidential nature of such information by the
disclosing party). Each party shall accept responsibility and be liable for a violation of the terms of this Section 5.1 by any third person with respect to Confidential Information disclosed to the third person by such party. The parties will use
the same measures to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control that it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of similar type and importance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party or their Affiliates may describe this Agreement in, and include this Agreement with, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any related prospectuses, including such filings or
prospectuses in connection with any offering of securities. Confidential Information will not include information that (i) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement, or (ii) the receiving
 
 

 5 

 
party lawfully receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure and, to the receiving party’s knowledge, without breach of a nondisclosure obligation. 
  
 5.2.    Disclosure to Governmental Agency.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party
shall be permitted to disclose the Confidential Information and/or any portion thereof (i) to a governmental agency or authority as required in response to a subpoena therefor, (ii) in connection with formal requests for discovery under applicable
rules of civil procedure in a legal action before a court of competent jurisdiction to which such party is a party and (iii) as otherwise required by law; provided, however, that, in any such case, each party shall notify the other
party as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow such party to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information at the expense of such party. 
  

5.3.    Ownership of Information.    All Confidential Information supplied or developed by either party will be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the party who supplied or developed it. 
  
 5.4.    Return of Confidential Information.    Upon the written request of a party which has disclosed information covered by this Article V in written, printed or other tangible form,
all such readily available information and all copies thereof, including samples or materials, and all notes or other materials derived from such information shall be returned to the party which disclosed such information. 
  
 5.5.    Right of Setoff.    Constar and Crown shall waive all rights of setoff and
recoupment either may have against the other or any of the other’s Affiliates with respect to all amounts which may be owed from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
 INDEMNIFICATION/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 
  
 6.1.    Limitation of Liability.    Neither Crown nor any of the Crown Entities nor any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, successors or permitted assigns shall be liable to anyone for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

 

 6 

  
 6.2.    Indemnification. 
  
 (a)  Subject to Section 6.3, Crown shall defend, indemnify and hold each Constar Indemnitee harmless against any
and all Liabilities incurred or suffered by any Constar Indemnitee caused by or arising in connection with the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Crown or any employee of any Constar Entity in connection with the performance of the
Services, except to the extent that Liabilities were caused directly or indirectly by acts or omissions of any Constar Indemnitee. 
  
 (b)  Subject to Section 6.3, Constar shall defend, indemnify and hold each Crown Indemnitee harmless against any and all Liabilities incurred or suffered by any Crown Indemnitee caused by or
arising in connection with the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Constar Entity or any employee of any Crown Entity in connection with Constar’s performance under this Agreement, except to the extent that Liabilities were
caused directly or indirectly by acts or omissions of any Crown Indemnitee. 
  
 6.3.    Limitations.    (a) Any indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) 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 (a) entitled to a benefit (as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise) that it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b), (b)
relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims to which it is obligated or (c) entitled to any subrogation rights with respect to any obligation under Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b). 
  
 (b)  Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b), neither party shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages relating to
claims of the other party or any third party. 
  
 6.4.    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 (the “Indemnifying Party”) under
Article VI of this Agreement (other than in connection with any Action subject to Section 6.5), 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. 
 

 7 

  
 6.5.    Notice and Defense of Third-Party
Claims.    Promptly after the earlier of receipt of (a) notice that a third party has commenced an action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) 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 VI 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 6.5 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 6.5; 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 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. 
  
 6.6.    Contribution.    If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 6.2 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
 
 

 8 

 
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 VII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 7.1.    Force
Majeure.    Neither Supplier nor Purchaser shall be responsible for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond their respective control, including, without limitation, earthquake, fire, storm, flood, freeze,
labor disputes, transportation embargoes, acts of God or of any government and acts of war or terrorism (any of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”). In the event such a curtailment by Crown continues in whole or in part for 48
hours, then Constar may arrange for temporary provision of the Services and may withhold a pro rata portion of the Fee applicable to any such unprovided Service until Crown can resume provision of the Services to Constar. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this provision shall not apply to or otherwise excuse the failure to pay any uncontested costs or fees due under this Agreement when due. 
  
 7.2.    Subsidiaries.    Crown agrees and acknowledges that Crown shall be responsible for the performance by each Crown
Entity of the obligations hereunder applicable to such Crown Entity. Constar agrees and acknowledges that Constar shall be responsible for the performance by each Constar Entity of the obligations hereunder applicable to such Constar Entity.

  
 7.3.    Amendment and Modification.    This Agreement may not be
amended or modified except by written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this
Agreement or any rights or obligations of any person under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 7.4.    Severability.    If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of any such term or provision to 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 applicable law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 7.5.    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

 7.9.    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 parties 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 others 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 (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and any other
Person who will accompany that executive. 
  
 (b)  Within 10 Business Days after delivery

any other shall be honored in a timely fashion. All negotiations conducted pursuant to this Section 7.9 (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

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 7.9 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 7.9.

 

 11 

  
 7.10.    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 (a) waives the defense of inconvenient forum, (b) 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 7.9), and (c) 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. 
  
 7.11.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement and Exhibit A hereto constitute the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
  
 7.12.    Assignment.    This Agreement may not be assigned by Constar without the prior written consent of Crown. Crown may assign its rights and obligations hereunder; provided,
that, with respect to any assignment to a Person other than any other Crown Entity, (a) Crown will provide Constar with 90 days notice of any such assignment; (b) Constar will have the option to terminate any Service which is the subject of any such
planned assignment by Crown upon notice to Crown no later than 30 days after Constar’s receipt of the notice described in proviso (a) above, with such termination becoming effective 60 days after such notice by Constar, after which time Crown
will no longer be obligated to provides such Service and Constar will no longer be liable for any associated Fees with respect to such Service; and (c) in the event that Constar does not so terminate any Service which is the subject of any such

such documents and instruments as are reasonably requested by Supplier to establish and protect Supplier’s first priority purchase money security interest in all PET Products directly or indirectly supplied to or on behalf of Purchaser as
security for Purchaser’s obligations to pay Supplier for PET Products supplied hereunder. 
  
 4.4.    Documents and Reporting.    Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other party in a timely fashion all such documents and reports as are reasonably requested by the
other party with respect to forecasting and budgeting, production, inventory, equipment maintenance, parts usage, and shipments, including Bills of Lading, routine correspondence with customers, releases, and all reports and supporting documents
that were commonly provided prior to the Initial Public Offering Date. 
  
 4.5.    Packaging
Materials.    Pallets, topframes, and tier sheets shall be provided by Purchaser, and shall remain the property of the Purchaser. Purchaser may supply such packaging materials directly, or may agree to reimburse Supplier for
purchases made by Supplier at the written instruction of Purchaser. Supplier agrees to maintain and report inventory of all such packaging materials in use or on hand, and with respect to packaging materials at Constar Customer sites, shall be
responsible for customary practices of managing the prompt and complete return of packaging materials in good usable form from Constar Customers, and for maintaining a perpetual inventory of packaging materials at each customer location (which
packaging materials shall be supplied at Purchaser’s cost). Supplier shall maintain packaging materials in such a way that the number of times materials are re-used is consistent with historical trends. Supplier shall provide at least 60 days
forecast to Purchaser of packaging requirements or surplus. 
  
 4.6.    Lease and Removal of
SLC Assets.    The SLC Assets shall remain at the SLC Facility and Supplier shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article V, lease the SLC Assets from Purchaser for the Term (the
“Lease”). Within 90 days after the last day of the Term, Purchaser shall remove, at its expense, and shall be solely responsible for removing, the SLC Assets from the SLC Facility (the “Transfer Date”). Purchaser
shall provide Supplier with written notice of the Transfer Date at least 60 Business Days prior to the Transfer Date. If the SLC Assets shall not be removed on or prior to Transfer Date, Purchaser shall reimburse Supplier for all costs and expenses
incurred by Supplier on account of maintaining and storing the SLC Assets at the SLC Facility as a result of such non-removal until Purchaser removes the SLC Assets. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary, Supplier shall have no responsibilities or obligations of any kind, including, without limitation, as to operation, storage, insurance or maintenance, with respect to the SLC Assets after the Transfer Date. 
 

 6 

  
 4.7.    Rent.    Consideration for
the lease of SLC Assets from Purchaser to Supplier for the Term is incorporated in the prices for Existing PET Products included in Schedule A and will be included in the prices for any New PET Products. 
  
 4.8.    Insurance.    Supplier shall maintain adequate insurance with respect to the SLC
Assets insuring against such risks customarily insured against in accordance with Supplier’s practice until their removal from the SLC Facility by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.6 or until 90 days after the Term, whichever is earlier.
Supplier shall, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, provide evidence of insurance and appropriate loss payable endorsements in favor of Purchaser. 
  
 4.9.    Employees.    Notwithstanding the provisions of the Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of the date hereof between Crown and Constar, on the
Transfer Date, Purchaser shall have the option to offer employment to those employees whose primary responsibilities relate to the SLC Assets (the “Employees”). Regardless of whether Purchaser exercises such option, Purchaser shall
pay, and shall indemnify the Supplier and its Affiliates for any costs related to, any severance payments payable to the Employees in connection with the termination of their employment with the Supplier or its Affiliates if (i) such termination
occurs, or notice of such termination is provided to such Employee, during the Term of this Agreement or within 120 days after the termination or expiration of this Agreement and (ii) such termination relates to or results from the loss of sales
governed by this Agreement or a reduction in the volume of PET Products sold under this Agreement. Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to re-deploy the Employees within Supplier’s workforce to reduce the amount payable
pursuant to this Section 4.9. 
  
 4.10.    Maintenance and
Improvements.    During the Term, Supplier shall keep the SLC Assets in good operating order, repair condition and appearance and in accordance with normal industry standards, normal wear and tear and impairments of value
excepted. The SLC Assets shall be maintained by Supplier as directed by Purchaser and consistent with Purchaser’s then-current procedures for preventative maintenance and operating procedures including weekly and annual preventative maintenance
work. Consideration for the maintenance of SLC Assets by Supplier for the Term is incorporated in the prices for Existing PET Products included in Schedule A and will be included in the prices for any New PET Products. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Purchaser, and not Supplier or any of its Affiliates, shall be obliged to conduct, or cause to be conducted, mold refurbishments reasonably required to maintain the SLC Assets and shall be responsible for the cost of repairing or
replacing any SLC Assets that are defective or malfunctioning (except to the extent that such defects or malfunctions arise as a result of Supplier’s failure to maintain the SLC Assets in accordance with the first two sentences of this Section
4.10). Prior to the start of each calendar year, Supplier shall provide Purchaser with an estimate of capital investments with respect to the SLC Assets for the next year. Neither Supplier nor any of its Affiliates shall make any capital
expenditures with respect to the SLC Assets without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Upon receipt of such consent, Supplier shall make, or cause to be made, such capital expenditures and shall invoice Purchaser for any expenses incurred in
undertaking such capital expenditures. If Purchaser does not consent to, or
 
 

 7 

 
agree to reimburse Supplier for any such capital expenditures, neither Supplier nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to make such capital expenditures and none of them shall be
liable for any interruptions or deficiencies if the supply of PET Products under this Agreement, any deterioration of the SLC Assets or any other liability, arising out of or resulting from the failure to make any such capital expenditure. The
parties agree that capital expenditures subject to approval and reimbursement by Purchaser shall not include costs associated with routine maintenance (other than mold refurbishments) covered by the first two sentences of this Section 4.10.

  
 4.11.    Warranties.    During the Term, Purchaser assigns to
Supplier, and Supplier may have the benefit of any and all manufacturers’ warranties, service agreements and patent indemnities (copies of same to be provided to Supplier), if any, with respect to the SLC Assets, to the extent assignable by
Purchaser, until they are removed by Purchaser. 
  
 4.12.    No
Interference.    Purchaser covenants that it shall not grant or convey any interest that, if used or enjoyed in accordance with its terms, would interfere with the use, enjoyment, or operation of the SLC Assets by Supplier,
its Affiliates or their respective permitted successors, assigns or subtenants at any time prior to the removal of the SLC Assets by Purchaser; provided, that Purchaser shall be permitted to grant a security interest in the SLC Assets to
secure the indebtedness of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. 
  
 4.13.    Possession and
Quiet Enjoyment.    Purchaser covenants with Supplier that Supplier and its Affiliates will enjoy quiet possession of the SLC Assets and the right to use the SLC Assets free from claims of persons in possession and third
parties claiming rights thereto. 
  
 4.14.    Access.    Prior to the
Transfer Date, representatives of Purchaser may, at their own expense, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, inspect the SLC Assets and have access to the Employees; provided, that a representative of Supplier shall be
present at all such times; and, provided, further, that no exercise of such inspection shall materially interfere with the normal operation of the SLC Assets or the business of Supplier. 
  

ARTICLE V 
  
 TERM,
DEFAULT AND OTHER PROVISIONS 
  
 5.1.    Term.    This Agreement shall commence upon the Initial Public Offering Date and shall continue for a period of 2 years (such 2 year period, the “Initial Term”).
The Initial Term may be extended for an additional 2 years upon mutual written agreement between Supplier and Purchaser on the terms contained therein (the Initial Term, as so extended, the “Term”). 
  
 5.2.    Events of Default.    (a)  The following shall be considered events of
default and shall give rise to a right of Supplier to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of Supplier’s discovery of such event of default: (i) Purchaser fails to make timely payments for invoiced PET Products, subject to a 10-day cure
period after notice regarding such breach, (ii) Purchaser or Constar suffers a Bankruptcy Event, (iii) Purchaser materially breaches any other applicable

 

 8 

 
provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (iv) Purchaser or Constar experiences a change of Control such that Purchaser or Constar is
controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown. 
  
 (b)  The following shall be considered events of
default and shall give rise to a right of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement within 45 days of Purchaser’s discovery of such event of default: (i) Supplier or Crown suffers a Bankruptcy Event, (ii) Supplier materially breaches any other
applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (iii) Supplier or Crown experiences a change of Control such that Supplier or Crown is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or
Crown. 
  
 (c)  Each party shall provide the other party with prompt notice upon discovery of a default by
the other party; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not limit or restrict the ability of a party to terminate this Agreement subject to the cure periods provided in this Section 5.2. 
  
 5.3.    No Waiver.    If the party not in default continues to make or accept shipments, as
the case may be, despite the other party’s default, such action shall not constitute a waiver of the default, or in any way affect the rights under this Agreement of the party not in default. A waiver by either party of any breach of any
provision shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any other provision. 
  
 5.4.    Force Majeure.    Neither Supplier nor Purchaser shall be responsible for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond their respective control, including, without
limitation, earthquake, fire, storm, flood, freeze, labor disputes, transportation embargoes, acts of God or of any government and acts of war or terrorism (any of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”). Any party, if affected by
any such cause, may, upon written notice to the other specifying the reasons therefor, reduce its obligations to the other by an amount not in excess of the quantity that it is unable to deliver or purchase due to such cause. In the event such a
curtailment by either party continues in whole or in part for a period of 5 continuous days, then, in the case of a Supplier Force Majeure Event, Purchaser may arrange for temporary supply of its requirements until Supplier can resume delivery of
PET Products to Purchaser, and, in the case of a Purchaser Force Majeure Event, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to sell to third parties those PET Products which would have been delivered to a Constar Customer on Purchaser’s behalf (in
accordance with Purchaser’s delivery schedule) in the absence of such curtailment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this provision shall not apply to or otherwise excuse the failure to pay any uncontested costs or
fees due under this Agreement when due (including payment for PET Products produced in accordance with Section 2.1, regardless of whether Purchaser submits a Release Request for such PET Preforms). 
  
 5.5.    Warranty; Limitation of Liability.    (a) Supplier warrants that all PET Products
sold to Purchaser (i) shall be free from defects in workmanship and materials, except for any defects arising out of actions taken by or at the direction of Purchaser or materials provided by or on behalf of Purchaser and (ii) shall comply with the
historical specifications for Existing PET Products and with any agreed upon specifications for New PET Products. Supplier’s liability
 
 

 9 

 
under this warranty, whether in contract or tort, shall be limited exclusively to the repayment of the purchase price of the defective PET Products. Supplier will make no other warranties with
respect to the PET Products. OTHER THAN THE ABOVE WARRANTY, SUPPLIER MAKES NO WARRANTY, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR OTHERWISE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR BY LAW, AND SUPPLIER SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY UNDER THE
ABOVE WARRANTY OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PET PRODUCTS. SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, SUPPLIER SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall indemnify Purchaser for
reasonable and customary line hour charges actually paid to the Constar Customers by Purchaser that directly result from Supplier’s breach of the above warranty; provided, that such line hour charges shall be no greater than the line hour
charges paid by Purchaser to other similar Constar Customers under similar circumstances. 
  
 (b)  Purchaser agrees to waive all claims for shortages in the PET Products ordered and received hereunder unless such claims are submitted in writing to Supplier within 30 days after receiving notice from the Constar
Customer of such shortage. 
  
 (c)  Subject to the above provisions, Purchaser shall not bring any other
action arising hereunder unless such action is brought within one year after the date such cause of action accrues. 
  
 (d)  Supplier shall not be liable for, and Purchaser assumes responsibility for, all personal injury and property damage resulting from the handling, possession, use or resale of the PET Products produced hereunder after
such PET Products are delivered to the applicable Constar Customer, whether the same is used alone or in combination with other substances, except to the extent any such personal injury or property damage results from the willful misconduct of
Supplier. 
  
 5.6.    Confidentiality; Disclosures. 
  
 5.6.1.    Confidentiality.    The parties agree to maintain (a) all
information, whether in written, oral, electronic or other form, necessary for or utilized or received pursuant to any terms of this Agreement, as the case may be, including, without limitation, prices, payment terms, technical knowledge, features,
know-how, material, manufacturing, Release Requests, Production Requests, tooling and equipment specifications and other information necessary to carry out the terms of this Agreement, as the case may be (the “Confidential
Information”), as secret and confidential and (b) not to disclose the Confidential Information to any third person or party (except for employees, counsel, contractors, customers, consultants or vendors who have a need to know and are
informed of the confidential nature of such information by the disclosing party). Each party shall accept responsibility and be liable for a violation of the terms of this Section 5.6. by any third person with respect to Confidential Information
disclosed to the third person by such party. The parties will use the same measures to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control that it uses to maintain 
 

 10 

 the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of similar type and importance.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either party or their Affiliates may describe this Agreement in, and include this Agreement with, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any related prospectuses, including such filings or prospectuses in connection
with any offering of securities. Confidential Information will not include information that (i) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement, or (ii) the receiving party lawfully receives from a third party without restriction
on disclosure and, to the receiving party’s knowledge, without breach of a nondisclosure obligation. 
  
 5.6.2.    Disclosure to Governmental Agency.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be permitted to disclose the Confidential Information and/or any portion thereof (i) to a
governmental agency or authority as required in response to a subpoena therefor, (ii) in connection with formal requests for discovery under applicable rules of civil procedure in a legal action before a court of competent jurisdiction to which such
party is a party and (iii) as otherwise required by law; provided, however, that, in any such case, each party shall notify the other party as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow such party to take appropriate
measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information at the expense of such party. 
  
 5.6.3.    Ownership of Information.    All Confidential Information supplied or developed by either party will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the party who supplied or
developed it; provided, however, that any inventions, discoveries, technical knowledge or know-how relating to the manufacture or sale of PET preforms and containers and arising from the SLC Assets or the production of PET Products
pursuant to this Agreement shall belong exclusively to Purchaser and Supplier hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Purchaser all rights of every kind, nature or description that Supplier may have in or to such inventions,
discoveries, technological knowledge or know-how. 
  
 5.6.4.    Return of
Confidential Information.    Upon the written request of a party which has disclosed information covered by this Section 5.6 in written, printed or other tangible form, all such readily available information and all copies
thereof, including samples or materials, and all notes or other materials derived from such information shall be returned to the party which disclosed such information. 
  
 5.7.    Right of Setoff.    Purchaser and Supplier shall waive all rights of setoff and recoupment either may have against
the other or any of the other’s Affiliates with respect to all amounts which may be owed from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 5.8.    Indemnification.    With respect to PET Products manufactured by Supplier pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold
Supplier and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and permitted assigns harmless against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of (i) the manufacture, use or sale of such PET
Products or any products liability arising therefrom (except any liability directly related to and directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Supplier in manufacturing the PET Products) and (ii) all claims, suits or actions for
bodily
 
 

 11 

 
injuries suffered in connection with the operations or maintenance of the SLC Assets and arising out of Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, negligence or willful misconduct. Furthermore,
Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Supplier and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and permitted assigns harmless against all damages, claims, judgments, decrees, costs, expenses and demands for
unfair competition or infringement of any United States or foreign trademark or copyright as a direct result of Supplier’s manufacture of PET Products for Purchaser conforming to the specifications required by Purchaser or the failure of such
conforming PET Products to comply with any federal, state, local or other law or regulation. Supplier shall not settle any claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.

information made by one party to any other shall be honored in a timely fashion. All negotiations conducted pursuant to this Section 6.4 (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. 
  
 6.4.3.    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. 
  
 6.4.4.    The Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the AAA, as modified or revised by the provisions of this Section 6.4, 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. 
 

 13 

  
 6.4.5.    Resolution of disputes under the
procedures of this Section 6.4 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 6.4. 
  
 6.5.    Consent to Jurisdiction.    Supplier and Purchaser 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 6.4), 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.

understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
  
 6.7.    Successors/No Third Party Beneficiaries.    This Agreement shall not be assignable,
except that Supplier may, after giving notice to Purchaser, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement so long as the assignee agrees in writing to assume Supplier’s obligations hereunder; provided, that Supplier shall not
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a competitor of Purchaser in the PET preform and container industry without the prior written consent of Purchaser. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of,
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted
assigns any rights (including third party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or (b) constitute the parties hereto as partners or as participants in a joint venture. This Agreement shall
not provide third parties with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 6.8.    Severability.    If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance
shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of any such term or provision to 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
 
 

 14 

 
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. 
  
 6.9.    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. 

 
 6.10.    Section Headings; Interpretive Issues.    The section and paragraph
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Supplier and Purchaser have participated jointly in the 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 Supplier and Purchaser 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. 
  
 6.11.    Effectiveness.    The terms of this Agreement shall not become effective until the Initial Public Offering Date. 
  
 6.12.    Pronouns.    Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall be deemed also to include the
corresponding neuter, masculine or feminine forms. 
  
 6.13.    Further

obligations under this Agreement and under any exhibit, document or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto.
