Furthermore, during the Lock-Up Period, no Investor will directly or indirectly (1) purchase, agree to purchase, contract to purchase, or purchase any option to purchase, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company, (2) cause or assist any other Person that would be deemed to be part of a group (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with such Investor to take any action described in clause (1) of this sentence, (3) take any action that would cause such Investor to be deemed to Beneficially Own additional securities of the Company (including, without limitation, by virtue of a voting agreement) or (4) take any action that would cause such Investor, alone or with others, to be deemed an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2017, between the Company and Computershare Inc. (as rights agent) (the “Rights Agreement”)). This Section 2(a) is expressly agreed to preclude each Investor from engaging in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement that is designed to, or which reasonably could be expected to, lead to or result in a (i) Transfer, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or (ii) purchase, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock by such Investor, whether any such transaction in clause (i) or (ii) is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, even if such shares would be disposed of or purchased by someone other than such Investor. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 2(a) shall not prevent any Transfer (x) of a direct or indirect interest in any Person Affiliated with or managed by an Affiliate of the Designated Investor or (y) of interests in any direct or indirect owner or investor of the Designated Investor or any Person Affiliated with or managed by an Affiliate of the Designated Investor, but only to the extent any such Transfer described in clauses (x) and (y) does not cause any of the factual statements in the Information Letter to no longer be true.

(b) Each Investor agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company and its transfer agent and registrar against the Transfer of the Common Stock, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company is hereby authorized to decline to make or authorize any Transfer of securities if such Transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement or violate the Certificate of Incorporation.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 2(a) and 2(b), the Designated Investor is authorized and permitted to make the Designated Investor Distribution; provided, that the Designated Investor is authorized and permitted, at its option, not to distribute to its stockholders any fractional shares that would be distributed under the Designated Investor Distribution; provided, further, that the Designated Investor is authorized and permitted, to sell to one or more of the Other Investors, pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “DI Purchase Agreement”) with such of the Other Investors, at a price per share of the Common Stock being paid by the Other Investors under the DI Purchase Agreement, the whole number of the Designated Investor Shares that results from the aggregation of such fractional shares; and provided, further, that the Designated Investor is authorized and permitted to transfer, on behalf of Apollo ALS Holdings II, L.P., to one or more of the Other Investors, pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of a purchase agreement (the “Apollo Purchase Agreement”), certain shares of Common Stock that would have otherwise been distributed to Apollo ALS Holdings II, L.P. A copy of the form of DI Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A and a copy of the form of Apollo Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company represents and warrants to the Designated Investor that the Board has unconditionally approved the Designated Investor Distribution, the DI Purchase Agreement and the Apollo Purchase Agreement as exceptions to any restrictions on the transfer of Common Stock, including the restrictions on “4.9-percent Transactions” and “Prohibited Transfers” set forth in Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation, and has provided separate written confirmation of such approvals to the Designated Investor; provided, that the failure of the Board to approve the Designated Investor Distribution, the DI Purchase Agreement or the Apollo Purchase Agreement shall not prevent the Designated Investor from effectuating the Designated Investor Distribution, the DI Purchase Agreement or the Apollo Purchase Agreement, or result in any liability to the Designated Investor after effectuating the Designated Investor Distribution, the DI Purchase Agreement or the Apollo Purchase Agreement.

3. Other Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Designated Investor. In consideration of being issued Common Stock on the Effective Date, the Designated Investor hereby agrees with and represents and warrants to the Company:

(a) Subject to Section 2(c), during the period beginning on the Effective Date and continuing to and including the Termination Date, the Designated Investor agrees to prevent (to the extent in its reasonable control) and not knowingly to participate in or facilitate (whether by consent or approval, sharing of information or otherwise) any transaction involving it, or any Persons directly or indirectly holding securities or other interests issued by it, that would result in an indirect transfer of its Common Stock that would cause any “owner shift,” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), or the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”), with respect to the

Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3(a) shall restrict or limit the Designated Investor’s right to make the Designated Investor Distribution and to complete the transactions under the DI Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3(a) shall not prevent any Transfer (x) of a direct or indirect interest in any Person Affiliated with or managed by an Affiliate of the Designated Investor, or (y) of interests in any direct or indirect owner or investor of the Designated Investor or any Person Affiliated with or managed by an Affiliate of the Designated Investor, but only to the extent any such Transfer described in clauses (x) and (y) does not cause any of the factual statements in the Information Letter to no longer be true.

(b) The Designated Investor represents and warrants that the only stock it has issued and outstanding is a single class of common stock, par value $0.01 (“DI Common Stock”), and that it owns no shares of common stock of the Company, other than the shares of Common Stock distributed or to be distributed to it pursuant to the Plan.

(c) The Designated Investor agrees that for so long as it owns Common Stock, without the consent of the Company, it will not issue any stock of any class; provided, that, the Designated Investor is specifically permitted to issue DI Common Stock in connection with (1) the exercise by a holder thereof of the conversion rights under Aleris International, Inc.’s 6% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Notes, (2) the exercise or vesting of any option, restricted stock unit or DI Common Stock otherwise issuable under any equity incentive plan or similar plan to which the Designated Investor is a party, and (3) any contract or agreement to which the Designated Investor is a party (including employment agreements) which contractually require the Designated Investor to issue or distribute DI Common Stock.

(d) The Designated Investor has provided to the Company in writing certain factual information the Company has requested regarding the holders of securities and other interests issued by the Designated Investor (the “Information Letter”). To the knowledge of the Designated Investor, such information is true, correct and complete as of the date provided. For so long as the Designated Investor owns any Common Stock (or if earlier, the Termination Date), at the Company’s sole cost and expense with respect to third party out of pocket costs, the Designated Investor (i) will provide such factual information about the Persons holding securities or other interests issued by the Designated Investor as is reasonably and specifically requested by the Company to determine the Company’s “5% shareholders” (within the meaning of Section 382 of the Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations), and (ii) will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain similar factual information for the Company from any Person that, due to its direct or indirect ownership of securities or other interests issued by the Designated Investor, is or could have owners or other interest holders who are a “5% shareholder” or “higher tier entity” (each within the meaning of Section 382 of the Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations) with respect to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3(d) shall not require the Designated Investor to (x) disclose the identity of, or other specific information related to, any Person that indirectly owns less than 5% of the Common Stock, solely taking into account such Person’s indirect ownership of the Common Stock owned by the Designated Investor, (y) inquire into any direct, indirect, constructive or attributed ownership by any Person of Common Stock other than solely by reason of owning a direct or indirect interest in the Designated Investor, or (z) make any legal conclusions or provide any legal opinions.

4. Acknowledgement of Law. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that it remains responsible for its own compliance with applicable Securities Laws, and that from time to time it may become aware of information which precludes transactions in Company securities (including that are registered on a registration statement).

5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Company. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties) and the expense of any annual audits.

6. Affiliate Transactions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, independent directors appointed by a Related Party shall be entitled to vote in respect of Affiliate Transactions so long as they remain independent of such Related Party.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6(a), the approval of the Disinterested Directors shall not be required to approve (i) any Affiliate Transaction that is conducted on arms’ length terms (including with respect to market pricing) and does not, collectively with any related transactions, involve payments or value in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate; provided, that the officers of the Company shall regularly provide a report to each member of the Board regarding any Affiliate Transactions that are not required to be approved by the Disinterested Directors by virtue of this Section 6(b), including the material terms thereof; or (ii) any Affiliate Transaction of debt financing for any direct or indirect acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, other business organization or division thereof or any material amount of assets.

(i) “Affiliate Transaction” means any contract, agreement, transaction or other arrangement (whether written or unwritten) between the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any stockholder of the Company that, collectively with its Affiliates, Beneficially Owns more than 5% of the Common Stock, or any Affiliate of any such stockholder of the Company, on the other hand; provided that, “Affiliate Transactions” shall not include transactions between or among the Company and any of its subsidiaries.

(ii) “Related Party” means a stockholder of the Company that, collectively with its Affiliates, Beneficially Owns more than 20% of the Common Stock.

(d) The Designated Investor’s right to enforce this Section 6 do not attach to its shares of Common Stock and may only be assigned pursuant to a Permitted Assignment; provided that the Permitted Assignee executes a joinder agreement pursuant to which such Permitted Assignee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof as the Designated Investor hereunder. The Designated Investor shall notify the Company within three Business Days after any Permitted Assignment.

With respect to the Designated Investor, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) execution and delivery of a written agreement of all the parties hereto agreeing to such termination, (ii) the date that is sixty (60) months after the Effective Date, and (iii) adoption by the board of directors of the Designated Investor of irrevocable resolutions declaring a dividend to effectuate the Designated Investor Distribution and the provision by the Designated Investor of a notice to the Designated Investor’s transfer agent and the Company irrevocably directing such transfer agent to deliver to the Company stockholder information for all record holders of DI Common Stock (the date on which the earliest to occur of (i), (ii) or (iii), the “Termination Date” with respect to the Designated Investor). With respect to any Investor other than the Designated Investor, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (x) execution and delivery of a written agreement of all the parties hereto as to which there has not been a Termination Date agreeing to such termination, and (y) the date that is sixty (60) months after the Effective Date (the date on which the earliest to occur of (x) or (y), the “Termination Date” with respect to any Investor other than the Designated Investor).
