The Company at its sole discretion may reduce the length of the assignment to less than the 2 year duration listed above. At the end of the assignment, you will be repatriated to the Quaker Europe region where every effort will be made to return you an equivalent level executive position, or if a position is not available in Quaker Europe every effort will be made to find you a comparable position in another of Quaker’s regions. However, you will not be required to take a position outside of the Quaker Europe region unless mutually agreeable.

Your base monthly salary will be converted to REALS using the January 15, 2013 exchange (FX) rate. The base monthly salary amount in REALS will remain unchanged unless adjusted consistent with Quaker’s then current practice for reviewing executive officers’ salaries and performance.

You will be eligible for your next base monthly salary increase in March, 2014, consistent with Quaker’s current practice for reviewing executive officers’ salaries and performance.

You will be entitled to an annual incentive bonus package which will be between zero and up to a maximum of 60% of your then current base annual salary (annual salary defined as monthly gross salary x 12) in accordance with the Quaker’s Global Annual Incentive Plan.

Under Quaker’s Long-Term Incentive Plan, you will participate at Level 1 with the awards to be annually approved by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Quaker. Both of the aforementioned incentive Plans may be amended by the Board of Directors at any time including eligibility to participate in any given incentive plan, the level of participation in any Quaker incentive plan, and the terms and conditions of any Quaker incentive plan. Any changes to those Plans, including participation levels, shall not affect any of the other terms and conditions hereof or of your Employment Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants contained in the “Provisions to Protect The Company’s Interests”, which is attached to your Employment Agreement.

All pensionable amounts will remain consistent with your current agreement effective June 1, 2011. As such you will continue to be eligible to the following contributions to your pension:

Both these amounts will be converted to REALS using the January 15, 2013 exchange (FX) rate.

You will be eligible for a company automobile for business and personal use consistent with Quaker Brazil practice applicable to such benefit as the same may be revised from time to time. For the initial six (6) months of your assignment, Quaker will also supply you with a driver to provide you with transportation of a reasonable nature.

Quaker will provide for the shipping of your household goods by air, at the beginning and end of the assignment, each for up to a maximum of 5,5cbm gross or 78 cubic feet of goods whichever is deemed the greater.

During the first quarter of 2013 and after your assignment begins, you will be granted 2,500 restricted shares of Quaker common stock. These shares will vest in three (3) equal installments on the anniversary date of this award.

You must be actively employed by Quaker on the vesting dates to receive the specific shares vesting on that date.

Effective February 2013 through the final full month of your assignment, you will receive a cost-of-living monthly base salary adjustment of €2,514.05. Your base monthly salary adjustment amount will be converted to REALS using the January 15, 2013 exchange (FX) rate. This base monthly salary adjustment amount will remain unchanged during the duration of the assignment. These payments will be subject to all normal withholdings.

An exchange rate equalization calculation will be completed each January for the term of this assignment for the prior assignment year, and will be based on the rate of exchange on the pay dates of your regular monthly base pay versus the exchange rate on January 15, 2013. Depending on the calculation, you may be eligible for an annual exchange rate equalization payment.

A tax equalization calculation will be completed for each calendar year while on assignment. Depending on the calculation, you may be eligible for a tax equalization payment.

Any cost over this amount will be your responsibility.

Other than listed above, there will be no additional changes to, all other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement and any prior amendments thereto, as well as all company rules and practices, shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
