1995 NAPLES RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN AND AGREEMENT
1. Background
Quaker Chemical Corporation (the "Company") desires to retain the
services of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx ("Naples"), as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and to provide him with increased
motivation and incentive to exert his best efforts on behalf of the Company
through the payment of restricted stock. The Company expects that it will
benefit from the added interest which Naples will have in the welfare of
the Company as a result of his proprietary interest in the Company's
success.
2. Administration
This Plan and Agreement shall be administered by the Company's
Compensation/Management Development Committee (the "Committee") whose
determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the exercise of
this power, the Committee shall generally determine all questions of policy
and expediency that may arise and may correct any defect, omission, or
inconsistency in this Plan and Agreement in a manner and to the extent it
shall deem necessary to make this Plan and Agreement fully effective.
3. Initial Stock Bonus
(a) The Company shall issue and pay to Naples as an Initial Stock
Bonus (the "Initial Stock Bonus") an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, ("Common Stock"), which
shares may be either authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or

pay and deliver to Naples, as part of the Initial Stock Bonus, 5,000 shares

Date. During the period the Restricted Shares are held in custody by the
Company, Naples shall generally have the rights and privileges of a
shareholder as to such Restricted Shares, including the right to all cash
or stock dividends paid with respect to such shares and the right to vote
the Restricted Shares except that none of the Restricted Shares may be

remaining in the custody of the Company shall be forfeited to the Company

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
prior to October 2, 1998 Naples' employment with the Company shall
terminate by reason of his death or by reason of his disability or if the
Company shall terminate Naples' employment with the Company without "Cause"
(as defined in Paragraph 12(c) of Naples' Employment Agreement with the
Company dated August 14, 1995 (the "Employment Agreement")), or Naples
shall terminate his employment with the Company for "Good Reason" pursuant
to Paragraph 12(d) of the Employment Agreement, or there shall occur a
"Change of Control" (hereafter defined) then, and in any such event, the
Company shall, within thirty days after the occurrence of such event, pay
and deliver to Naples or his personal representative, as the case may be,

this Plan and Agreement), the remaining Restricted Shares in the custody of
the Company which have not been delivered to Naples.
(e) For the purposes of this Agreement and Plan, "Change of Control"
means the occurrence of a "First Event" or a "Significant Transaction" (as
said terms are defined in the Employment Agreement).

4. Additional Stock Bonus
(a) The Company shall issue and pay to Naples as an additional stock
bonus (the "Additional Stock Bonus") up to an aggregate of 50,000
additional shares of Common Stock on the following terms: Commencing for
the year 1996, and for each year thereafter during the term of Naples'
employment with the Company, the Company will pay and deliver to Naples,
free of all restrictions (except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 9 of
this Plan and Agreement), 1,000 shares of Common stock for each $.01 per
share increase, on a cumulative basis, in net income per share as reported
to shareholders ("EPS"), starting from a base equal to the greater of 1995
EPS or $1.10 per share. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, for the purposes of calculating the Additional Stock Bonus,
extraordinary and non-recurring gains and losses will be excluded from the
determination of EPS. Shares of the Additional Stock Bonus will be deemed
to have been earned by Naples as of the last day of the year in question
(provided Naples is employed by the Company on the last day of the year),
shall be issued not later than April 15 of the following year and shall be
issued even if Naples is not employed by the Company on the date of payment
and delivery of such shares.
The application of the preceding paragraph may be illustrated as
follows: If for 1995, EPS is $1.15 and for 1996 EPS is $1.35 per share, an
Additional Stock Bonus of 20,000 shares will be paid; if for 1997 EPS is
$1.33, no shares will be paid; and if for 1998 EPS is $1.45, an Additional
Stock Bonus of 10,000 shares will be paid.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the
Company shall terminate Naples' employment with the Company without "Cause"
(as defined in Paragraph 12(c) of the Employment Agreement), or Naples
shall terminate his employment with the Company for "Good Reason" pursuant
to Paragraph 12(d) of the Employment Agreement, or there shall occur a
Change of Control, then, and in any such event, the Company shall,
effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, pay and
deliver to Naples, free of all restrictions (except as otherwise provided
in Paragraph 9 of this Plan and Agreement), the balance of the Additional
Stock Bonus (i.e., the difference between 50,000 shares and the number of
shares theretofore paid or payable to Naples pursuant to Paragraph 4(a)
hereof).
-3-
5. Withholding and Additional Tax Loans
The Company shall determine the appropriate amount of Federal, state
and local withholding taxes or charges due as a result of the payment of
the Stock Bonuses under this Plan and Agreement, which amount the Company
shall transmit to the appropriate taxing authority (the "Withholding
Amount"). Naples may satisfy any such withholding tax obligation by any of
the following means or by a combination of such means: (a) authorizing the
Company to deduct from the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise
deliverable hereunder, such number of shares as shall have a fair market
value equal to the Withholding Amount; (b) delivering to the Company such
number of unencumbered shares of Common Stock as shall have an aggregate
fair market value equal to the Withholding Amount; or (c) tendering a cash
payment. To facilitate the payment of any Withholding Amount and to cover
any additional Federal and state income taxes of Naples due as a result of
the payment of the Stock Bonuses under this Plan and Agreement in excess of
the Withholding Amount ("Additional Taxes"), at the request of Naples, the
Company shall make loans to Naples in any amount up to the Withholding
Amount and the Additional Taxes. Such loans shall require the payment of
interest only on a quarterly basis, bear interest at a rate equal to the
lowest rate necessary to avoid the imputation of interest income under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, shall have a term of ten (10)
years (or such shorter term as Naples shall designate), shall be subject to
mandatory prepayment to the extent of 50% of the after-tax proceeds
realized by Naples on the sale of any of the Common Stock received under
this Plan and Agreement, and shall be memorialized by a promissory note in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit "1." When a loan shall have been made,
shares of Common Stock having a fair market value at least equal to 125% of
the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged by Naples to the Company
as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan pursuant to a
stock pledge agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "2."
6. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization
In the event of a change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock
through reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split-up, stock dividend, stock consolidation or
otherwise, or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be
made in the number and kind of shares of Common Stock to be paid by the
Company and in the EPS targets under this Plan and Agreement. Adjustments
or changes under this Paragraph 6 shall be made by the Committee.
-4-
7. No Right to Employment
Neither the adoption of this Plan and Agreement nor its operation, nor
any document describing or referring hereto, or any part hereof, shall
confer upon Naples any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or
shall in any way affect the right and power of the Company to terminate his
employment to the same extent as might have been done if this Plan and
Agreement had not been adopted.
8. Exclusion from Pension Computations
None of the Stock Bonuses provided for herein nor any income realized
by Naples upon the receipt thereof or upon the disposition of Common Stock
received by him hereunder shall be taken into account as "base
remuneration", "wages", "salary" or "compensation" in determining the
amount of any contribution to or payment or any other benefit under any
pension, retirement, incentive, profit-sharing, deferred compensation or
similar plan of the Company.
9. Compliance with Law
(a) Common Stock will not be paid and delivered to Naples hereunder
except in compliance with all applicable Federal and state laws and
regulations including, without limitation, compliance with all Federal and
state securities laws, withholding tax requirements and the rules of all
stock exchanges, if any, on which the Common Stock may be listed.
(b) Naples represents and warrants to the Company that he is and will
be acquiring the Common Stock to be paid and delivered to him hereunder for
investment for his own account and not with a view to the resale,
distribution or public offering thereof. Naples acknowledges that he has
been informed and is aware that the Common Stock to be paid and delivered
to him hereunder is not and may not be registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 and applicable state securities laws (and that the Company has no
obligation to effect such registration) and must be held indefinitely until
they are subsequently registered under said Act or an exemption from such
registration is available; and that routine sales of securities made in
reliance upon SEC Rule 144 can be made only in limited amounts in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule and subject to
compliance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(c) Any share certificate delivered to Naples hereunder may also bear
such legends and statements as the Company shall deem advisable to assure
compliance with Federal and state laws and regulations. The Company may
-5-
require Naples to execute and deliver to the Company an agreement or other
instrument evidencing Naples's acceptance of the terms and conditions
hereof or as may be deemed necessary to effectuate the provisions of this
Plan and Agreement.

1995 NAPLES SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME PROGRAM AND AGREEMENT
1. Background
The purpose of the 1995 Naples Supplemental Retirement Income Program
and Agreement (the "Program") is to provide Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx ("Naples"),
the President and Chief Executive Officer of Quaker Chemical Corporation
(the "Company"), with an improved retirement program that will enhance the
Company's ability to retain the services of Naples as well as to reflect
Naples' achievements and valued contributions to the Company.
2. Administration
The Program shall be a non-qualified and unfunded plan of deferred
compensation for Federal income tax purposes, administered by the Company's
Compensation/Management Development Committee whose determinations shall be
final, binding and conclusive. As the Program contemplates payment of
benefits on a post-retirement basis, the Company will establish on the
Company's books and records an accrual of the benefits earned pursuant to
the Program according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
3. Basic Program Concept
The benefits payable under the Program are based on a formula which
will provide the maximum supplemental retirement income benefit to Naples
if he shall remain employed by the Company for 15 or more years. If
Naples' employment with the Company is less than 15 years, the retirement
income benefit will be reduced by 2.667% for each full and fractional year
less than 15 years of employment with the Company. For purposes of the
Program, employment with any corporation, partnership or other entity of
which 40% or more of the voting power is held, directly or indirectly, by
the Company, shall be deemed employment with the Company. Naples' rights
to benefits under the Program shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable.
4. Benefit Calculation
The supplemental retirement income benefit payable under the Program
shall be determined as follows:
First Calculation
Salary Plus Bonus (hereinafter defined)
Exhibit C
less Actual Social Security taxes paid on Salary Plus Bonus,
less Applicable state income tax on Salary Plus Bonus at the
rate in effect on the Payment Commencement Date,
less Federal income tax on Salary Plus Bonus, calculated at
the tax rate for a joint return with no dependents in
effect on the Payment Commencement Date,
less Local taxes on Salary Plus Bonus, where applicable, at
the rate in effect on the Payment Commencement Date.
Computation of the above will generate the "Net Pre- Retirement
Income."
Second Calculation
Projected benefits
payable from the
Company's qualified
Defined Benefit
Pension Plan, based
on the "Life Only"
option commencing
at age 65 (the
"Pension"), plus Social Security benefit payable to
Naples at age 65, assuming that he is
married and that he and his spouse are
the same age.
less State income taxes on Pension and Social
Security benefits at the actual rate.
less Federal income taxes on Pension and
Social Security benefits based on tax
rate for a joint return with no
dependents.
less Applicable local taxes on Pension and
Social Security benefits at the actual
rate.
Computation of the above will generate the "Net After- Retirement
Income."
-2-
Third Calculation
The benefit payable hereunder will be equal to the amount (if any) by
which the Net After-Retirement Income is less than 80% of the Net Pre-
Retirement Income. As indicated above, the benefit shall be further
reduced by 2.667% for each full and fractional year of employment with
the Company less than 15.
For purposes of the Program, Salary Plus Bonus means the higher of (a)
the final year of base salary prior to the termination of Naples'
employment with the Company or the commencement of benefits under Section 5
hereof, whichever comes first, plus the average of the highest three of the
last five years of annual incentive bonuses earned prior to such date; or
(b) the three highest consecutive years of base salary and annual incentive
bonuses during the period of Naples' employment with the Company.
Contributions made to the Company's Profit-Sharing and Retirement Savings
Plan (or any other plan of deferred compensation sponsored by the Company)
other than elective pre-tax contributions by Naples shall not be included
within the definition of Salary Plus Bonus. Moreover, none of the income
realized by Naples pursuant to his participation in the 1995 Restricted
Stock Plan and Agreement or in any stock option plan sponsored by the
Company shall be included in the definition of Salary Plus Bonus.
5. Payments and Term
Benefits payable under the Program shall be made in equal monthly
installments, shall be made for Naples' life only, and shall terminate on
the first day of the month following Naples' death. The payment of
benefits under this Program shall commence on the first day of the month
(the "Payment Commencement Date") subsequent to the later of: (a) the
termination of Naples' employment with the Company; or (b) Naples'
attainment of age 65; provided, however, in the event Naples elects to
terminate his employment with the Company pursuant to any early retirement
provision of any qualified retirement plan sponsored by the Company, the
benefits payable under this Program shall commence on the first day of the
month subsequent to the date of early retirement. In the event the payment
of benefits under the Program shall commence either prior to or subsequent
to Naples' attainment of age 65, such benefits shall be adjusted in
accordance with the actuarial assumptions utilized in the administration of
the Company's defined benefit pension plan as in existence on the date of
benefit commencement.
-3-
6. Successors and Assigns
The benefits payable under the Program shall be a binding contractual
obligation of the Company and such obligation shall be binding on any
successor company resulting from any acquisition, merger, reorganization,
or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other company or juridical
entity.
7. Construction
The place of administration of this Program shall be in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the validity, construction,
interpretation, administration and effect of this Program, and rights
relating to this Program shall be determined solely in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Agreed to August 14, 1995, effective as of October 2, 1995
