ARTICLE II

PURCHASE OF REQUIREMENTS

2.1. Purchase Requirements.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, Purchaser agrees to purchase from Supplier 100% of Purchaser’s requirements for PET Preforms for Purchaser’s customers specified on Schedule B hereto (the “Constar Customers”).

(b) At least 31 days prior to the beginning of each year, Purchaser shall provide Supplier with a non-binding forecast for the PET Preforms that it will purchase from Supplier during such year, which shall represent a good faith estimate of Purchaser’s requirements for PET Preforms for the Constar Customers. On or before the 15^th day of each month, Purchaser shall submit a firm order for production during the following month (a “Production Request”), which shall not exceed 20 million PET Preforms, and a non-binding forecast for the following two months, which forecast shall represent a good faith estimate of Purchaser’s requirements for such two months. Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase, and shall be responsible for payment to Supplier for, any PET Preforms manufactured by Supplier in response to a Production Request, regardless of whether Purchaser submits a Release Request for such PET Preforms. In addition, to maximize utilization of the Voghera Assets, Supplier may produce PET Preforms based upon Purchaser’s non-binding forecasts. If Purchaser provides its written consent to such production, Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase, and shall be responsible for payment to Supplier for, any PET Preforms manufactured by Supplier in response to such forecast, regardless of whether Purchaser submits a Release Request for such PET Preforms. At any time that Supplier is holding greater than 20 million PET Preforms in inventory at the Voghera Facility in response to Production Requests or approved production based on Purchaser’s forecasts, Supplier shall promptly notify Purchaser of the number and type of PET Preforms held in inventory and shall not be obligated to accept Production Requests or to produce and hold PET Preforms until such inventory is reduced below 20 million PET Preforms.

(c) From time to time Purchaser may submit requests to release PET Preforms for shipment (“Release Requests”) to Supplier. So long as the aggregate amount of PET Preforms released during a month does not exceed that month’s Production Request and agreed existing

stockholdings, Supplier shall satisfy any Release Request; provided, that Supplier shall not be obligated, but shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to ship PET Preforms pursuant to a Release Request on less than 5 days notice. In the event that the aggregate amount of PET Preforms released during a month exceeds that month’s Production Request and agreed existing stockholdings, Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Release Request; provided, however, that in no event shall Supplier be obligated to utilize production equipment other than the Voghera Assets. With respect to Release Requests that (in the aggregate, if applicable) do not exceed the relevant month’s Production Request, Supplier will ship no less than 95% of the released PET Preforms to the Constar Customers, as directed by Purchaser, OTIF (on time, in full). The measurement of OTIF shipments shall conform to historic practices of the Voghera Facility. If Supplier is unable to satisfy a Release Request, Supplier shall promptly notify Purchaser. After such notification, Purchaser may, at its option, direct Supplier to resequence utilization of the Voghera Assets to satisfy the Release Request; provided, however, that, in the event that the aggregate amount of PET Preforms released during a month exceeds that month’s Production Request, Supplier shall be under no obligation to resequence utilization of the Voghera Assets if such resequencing would adversely effect Supplier’s other operations at the Voghera Facility. If Supplier is unable to satisfy a Release Request that (in the aggregate, if applicable) did not exceed the relevant month’s Production Request and Purchaser is able to secure an alternative supply, such PET Preforms shall not be included in calculating the requirements commitment in clause (a) above. Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase, and shall be responsible for payment to Supplier for, any PET Preforms shipped by Supplier in response to a Release Request, regardless of whether the Constar Customer ultimately pays Purchaser for such PET Preforms. Supplier shall not be responsible for collecting payment from the Constar Customer for PET Preforms manufactured and shipped hereunder.

(d) Consistent with historic practices at the Voghera Facility, Purchaser shall provide Supplier, or shall direct the Constar Customers to provide Supplier, at Supplier’s cost, with resin necessary to produce the PET Preforms. All invoices from Purchaser or a Constar Customer to Supplier for resin shall be paid by Supplier on or before the last day of the month containing the date which is 70 days after the invoice date. Supplier shall not be deemed to breach this Agreement as a result of, and shall have no liability to Purchaser for, any failure to perform its obligations hereunder that results from the failure of Purchaser or the Constar Customers to provide Supplier with resin necessary to produce the PET Preforms.

(e) Within 30 calendar days of the end of each three-month period ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the Term, Purchaser shall provide Supplier a certificate from a member of it’s senior management attesting to Purchaser’s conformance to its obligations under Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement during such three-month period. If Purchaser does not provide such certificate to Supplier within such 30 calendar day period or upon Supplier’s request, Purchaser shall permit Supplier’s outside accountants to access the books and records of Purchaser in order to review the books and records relating to purchases of such PET Preforms by the Constar Customers.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall not be required to manufacture and/or ship any specific PET Preforms if Supplier reasonably determines that any such

manufacture or shipment will result in a material violation of any applicable governmental laws or regulations.

(g) The parties agree to use good faith efforts to modify the provisions of this Section 2 if either party is unsatisfied with the operation of such provisions; provided, that no party shall be under any obligation to agree to any such changes.

ARTICLE III

PRICE

3.1. Pricing. (a) For Existing PET Preforms, Purchaser will pay to Supplier the prices set forth on Schedule A hereto for the relevant PET Preforms purchased pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) For New PET Preforms, mutually agreeable pricing will be established between Supplier and Purchaser on a case-by-case basis. Supplier shall have no obligation to supply, and Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase, New PET Preforms for which pricing cannot be agreed upon and any such New PET Preforms shall not be calculated in the requirements commitment set forth in Section 2.1(a). If pricing of New PET Preforms is agreed upon, such New PET Preforms shall be calculated in such requirements commitment.

ARTICLE IV

DELIVERY

4.1. Delivery. Delivery of all PET Preforms sold under this Agreement shall be F.O.B. Supplier at the Voghera Facility. Title and risk of loss or damages to all PET Preforms shall pass to Purchaser upon shipment, F.O.B. point, by Supplier to Purchaser. Purchaser shall pay for all freight and other costs associated with shipment of PET Preforms to the location of delivery. For PET Preforms delivered F.O.B. Supplier, Supplier shall furnish the facilities and personnel for loading PET Preforms at the F.O.B. point.

4.2. Payment. Supplier shall provide invoices to Purchaser for PET Preforms and, if applicable, shipping or other charges upon the earlier of (i) release of such PET Preforms pursuant to a Release Request or (ii) 90 days from the date of acceptance of the Production Request pursuant to which such PET Preforms were produced. All invoices from Supplier to Purchaser for PET Preforms shall be paid by Purchaser on or before the last day of the month containing the date which is 40 days after the invoice date.

ARTICLE V

LEASE OF RELATED ASSETS

5.1. Lease and Removal of Voghera Assets. The Voghera Assets shall remain at the Voghera Facility and Supplier shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article V, lease the Voghera 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 Voghera Assets from the Voghera 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 Voghera Assets shall not be removed on or prior to the Transfer Date, Purchaser shall reimburse Supplier all costs and expenses incurred by Supplier on account of maintaining and storing the Voghera Assets at the Voghera Facility, and any other incidental, consequential or other damages or losses incurred by Supplier as a result of such non-removal until Purchaser removes the Voghera 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 Voghera Assets after the Transfer Date.

5.2. Rent. Consideration for the lease of Voghera Assets from Purchaser to Supplier for the Term is incorporated in the prices for Existing PET Preforms included in Schedule A and will be included in the prices for any New PET Preforms.

5.3. Insurance. Supplier shall maintain adequate insurance with respect to the Voghera Assets insuring against such risks customarily insured against in accordance with Supplier’s practice until their removal from the Voghera Facility by Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.1 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. Purchaser hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of damage, whether or not insured against, of the Voghera Assets arising out of the operation of the Voghera Assets or arising out of Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, negligence or willful misconduct.

5.4. Maintenance and Improvements. During the Term, Supplier shall perform all maintenance reasonably required to keep the Voghera 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. 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 Voghera Assets and shall be responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing any Voghera 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 Voghera Assets in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 5.4). Prior to the start of each calendar year, Supplier shall provide Purchaser with an estimate of capital investments with respect to the Voghera assets for the next year. Neither Supplier nor any of its

Affiliates shall make any capital expenditures in respect of capital investments with respect to the Voghera 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 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 Preforms under this Agreement, any deterioration of the Voghera 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 sentence of this Section 5.4.

5.5. 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 Voghera Assets, to the extent assignable by Purchaser, until they are removed by Purchaser.

5.6. 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 Voghera Assets by Supplier, its Affiliates or their respective permitted successors, assigns or subtenants at any time prior to the removal of the Voghera Assets by Purchaser; provided, that Purchaser shall be permitted to grant a security interest in the Voghera Assets to secure the indebtedness of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

5.7. Possession and Quiet Enjoyment. Purchaser covenants with Supplier that Supplier and its Affiliates will enjoy quiet possession of the Voghera Assets and the right to use the Voghera Assets free from claims of persons in possession and third parties claiming rights thereto.

5.8. Access. Prior to the Transfer Date, representatives of Purchaser may, at their own expense, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, inspect the Voghera Assets and have access to the employees whose primary responsibilities relate to the Voghera Assets; 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 Voghera Assets or the business of Supplier.

ARTICLE VI

TERM, DEFAULT AND OTHER PROVISIONS

6.1. Term. This Agreement shall commence upon the Initial Public Offering Date and shall continue until December 31, 2003 (the “Initial Term”). Subject to Purchaser’s ability to obtain at least one renewal of the supply agreement from Constar Customers, Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from Supplier 100% of Purchaser’s requirements for PET Preforms for Constar Customers provided that terms and conditions offered by Supplier are arm’s length and, in particular, the sale price allows the Purchaser a margin of at least 5% on sales to Constar Customers and does not exceed Supplier’s Full Industrial Cost increased by a 5% xxxx-up.

6.2. 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 Preforms, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach, (ii) Purchaser materially breaches any other applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (iii) Purchaser or Constar experiences a change of Control such that Purchaser or Constar is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown (provided that such termination shall not be effective until six months from the date of the Change of Control). If Purchaser or Constar suffers a Bankruptcy Event, Supplier shall have the right to unilaterally make reasonable modifications to the payment terms set forth in Section 4.2 of the Agreement at any time after such Bankruptcy Event. Supplier shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such modifications to the payment terms of this Agreement.

(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 materially breaches any applicable provision of this Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period after notice regarding such breach or (ii) Supplier or Crown experiences a change of Control such that Supplier or Crown is controlled by a competitor of either Constar or Crown (provided that such termination shall not be effective until six months from the date of the Change of Control).

(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 6.2.

6.3. 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.

6.4. Force Majeure. Neither Supplier nor Purchaser shall be responsible for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party that render performance commercially impracticable (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 Preforms 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 Preforms

which would have been delivered to the Constar Customers 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 Preforms produced in accordance with Section 2.1(b), regardless of whether Purchaser submits a Release Request for such PET Preforms).

6.5. Warranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Supplier warrants that all PET Preforms 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 Preforms and with any agreed upon specifications for New PET Preforms. Supplier’s liability under this warranty, whether in contract or tort, shall be limited exclusively to the repayment of the purchase price of the defective PET Preforms. Supplier will make no other warranties with respect to the PET Preforms. 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 PREFORMS. SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, SUPPLIER SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.

(b) Purchaser agrees to waive all claims for shortages in the PET Preforms ordered and received hereunder unless such claims are submitted in writing to Supplier within 30 days after receipt of 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 Preforms produced hereunder after such PET Preforms are delivered to the 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.

6.6. Confidentiality; Disclosures.

6.6.1. Confidentiality. The parties agree (a) to maintain 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, cost components, payment terms, technical knowledge, features, know-how, material, manufacturing, Release Requests, Production Requests, tooling and equipment specifications and other

Each party shall accept responsibility and be liable for any disclosure by any third person of any Confidential Information disclosed to such third person by such party. The parties will use the same measures to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of any 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 party lawfully receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure and, to the receiving party’s knowledge, without breach of a nondisclosure obligation.

6.6.2. 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.

6.6.3. 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 or containers and arising from the Voghera Assets or the production of PET Preforms 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.

6.6.4. Return of Confidential Information. Upon the written request of a party which has disclosed information covered by Section 6.6 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.

6.7. 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.

6.8. Indemnification. With respect to PET Preforms 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 Preforms 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 Preforms) and (ii) all claims, suits or actions for bodily injuries suffered in connection with the operations or maintenance of the Voghera 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 Preforms for Purchaser conforming to the specifications required by Purchaser or the failure of such conforming PET Preforms 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.
