TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee and Univar agree as follows:

1. Employment. As of the Effective Date, Univar hereby agrees to employ Employee, and Employee agrees to be employed by Univar, as its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Employee will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, or such other position as may be designated by Univar from time to time. Employee will comply in all material respects with all rules, policies and procedures of Univar as modified from time to time to the extent that they are not inconsistent with this Agreement. Employee will perform all of Employee’s responsibilities in compliance with all applicable laws and with Company policies and procedures. During Employee’s employment, Employee will not engage in any other business activity that prevents Employee from carrying out Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage.

2. At-Will Employment. Employment under this Agreement shall be terminable at-will, and, in such case either Employee or Univar may terminate Employee’s employment at any time with or without Cause or Good Reason, as defined in this Agreement, and without notice, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 3. Any termination of Employee’s employment by Employee or Univar (other than death) shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other party in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement.

3. Termination. The following provisions shall apply upon termination of Employee’s employment under applicable circumstances as set forth below. Any amount payable to Employee under this Section 3 shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local withholdings, or payroll or other taxes. Except as set forth in this Section 3, upon termination of employment, Employee shall not be entitled to further payments, severance or other benefits arising under this Agreement or from Employee’s employment with Univar or its termination, except as required by law.

3.1 By Univar with Cause or by Employee without Good Reason. If Univar terminates Employee’s employment for Cause or if Employee terminates Employee’s employment without Good Reason, Employee shall be paid unpaid wages and unused accrued vacation earned through the termination date.

3.1.1. “Cause,” as used herein, shall mean Employee’s (i) willful and continued failure to perform her material duties with respect to Univar or its affiliates (except where due to a physical or mental incapacity) which continues beyond fifteen (15) business days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by Univar, (ii) conviction of or plea nolo contendere to (A) the commission of a felony by Employee, or (B) any misdemeanor that is a crime of moral turpitude, (iii) Employee’s willful or gross misconduct in connection with her employment duties, or (iv) breach of the non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality covenants to which Employee is subject. No act on Employee’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Employee not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action was in the best interest of Univar. No failure of Employee or Univar to achieve performance goals, in and of itself, shall be treated as a basis for termination of Employee’s employment for Cause.

3.1.2. “Good Reason,” as used herein, shall mean (i) a material reduction in Employee’s base salary or a material reduction in annual incentive compensation opportunity, in each case other (a) than any isolated or inadvertent failure by Univar that is not in bad faith and is cured within thirty (30) business days after Employee gives Univar notice of such event and (b) a reduction which is applicable to all employees in the same salary grade as Employee; (ii) a material diminution in Employee’s title, duties and responsibilities, other than any isolated or inadvertent failure by Univar that is not in bad faith and is cured within thirty (30) business days after Employee gives Univar notice of such event; (iii) a transfer of Employee’s primary workplace by more than thirty-five (35) miles from her current workplace, or (iv) the failure of a successor to have assumed this Agreement in connection with any sale of the business, where such assumption does not occur by operation of law, provided that in order for an event described in this Section 3.1.2 to constitute Good Reason, Employee must provide notice to Univar (in accordance with Section 13 of this Agreement) within ninety (90) business days of the initial existence of such event.

3.2 By Univar other than for Cause or Total Disability or by Employee for Good Reason. If Univar terminates Employee’s employment other than for Cause or Total Disability or if Employee terminates Employee’s employment for Good Reason in the absence of Cause, Univar shall pay to Employee the amounts and benefits, and cause the vesting as set forth in this Section 3.2; provided, however, that Employee’s entitlement to the amounts described in Sections 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 is conditioned upon Employee executing and not revoking a release substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”) within the time period provided for therein (the “Applicable Release Period”); provided, however, that in any case where the first and last days of the Applicable Release Period are in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Employee that are treated as deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A shall be made in the later taxable year, promptly following the conclusion of the Applicable Release Period.

3.2.1 Unpaid wages and unused accrued vacation earned through the termination date;

3.2.2 A severance payment, paid through base salary and target incentive for a period of 12 months.

3.3 Total Disability. If Univar or Employee terminates Employee’s employment due to Employee’s Total Disability, Univar shall pay to Employee unpaid wages and unused accrued vacation earned through the termination date. “Total Disability” as used herein shall have the same meaning as the term “Total Disability” as used in Univar’s long-term disability policy in effect at the time of termination, if one exists. If Univar does not have a long-term disability policy in effect at such time, the term “Total Disability” shall mean Employee’s inability (with or without such accommodation as may be required by law protecting persons with disabilities) to perform the essential functions of Employee’s duties hereunder for a period aggregating to ninety (90) calendar days in a twelve (12) month period, provided, however, that this period may be extended in the sole discretion of the Chief Employee Officer.

3.4 Death. If Employee’s employment terminates due to death, Univar shall pay to Employee’s estate the unpaid wages and unused accrued vacation earned through the termination date.

4. Confidential Information

4.1 Employee recognizes that the success of Univar and its current or future Affiliates (as defined below in this Section 4) depends upon the protection of information or materials that are designated as confidential and/or proprietary at the time of disclosure or should, based on their nature or the circumstances surrounding such disclosure, reasonably be deemed confidential including, without limitation, information to which Employee has access while employed by Univar whether recorded in any medium or merely memorized (all such information being “Confidential Information”). “Confidential

-2-

Information” includes without limitation, and whether or not such information is specifically designated as confidential or proprietary: all business plans and marketing strategies; information concerning existing and prospective markets, suppliers, and customers; financial information; information concerning the development of new products and services; and technical and non-technical data related to software programs, designs, specifications, compilations, inventions (as defined in Section 6.1), improvements, patent applications, studies, research, methods, devices, prototypes, processes, procedures and techniques. Confidential Information expressly includes information provided to Univar or Affiliates by third parties under circumstances that require them to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall have no confidentiality obligation with respect to disclosure of any Confidential Information that (a) was, or at any time becomes, available in the public domain other than through a violation of this Agreement or (b) Employee can demonstrate by written evidence was furnished to Employee by a third party in lawful possession thereof and who was not under an obligation of confidentiality to Univar or any of its Affiliates.

4.2 Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment and after termination of employment irrespective of cause, Employee will use Confidential Information only for the benefit of Univar and its Affiliates and will not directly or indirectly use or divulge, or permit others to use or divulge, any Confidential Information for any reason, except as authorized by Univar or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may disclose Confidential Information as required pursuant to an order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other government body, provided Employee has notified Univar or the applicable Affiliate immediately after receipt of such order or requirement and allowed Univar and/or the Affiliate a meaningful opportunity to apply for protective measures.

4.3 Employee hereby assigns to Univar any rights Employee may have or acquire in such Confidential Information and acknowledges that all Confidential Information shall be the sole property of Univar and/or its Affiliates or their assigns.

4.4 There are no rights granted or any understandings, agreements or representations between the parties hereto, express or implied, regarding Confidential Information that are not specified herein.

4.5 Employee’s obligations under this Section 4 are in addition to any obligations that Employee has under state or federal law.

4.6 Employee agrees that in the course of Employee’s employment with Univar, Employee will not violate in any way the rights that any entity, including former employers, has with regard to trade secrets or proprietary or confidential information.

4.7 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” means any entity currently existing or subsequently organized or formed that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Univar, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

4.8 Employee’s obligations under this Section 4 are indefinite in term and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

5. Return of Company Property. Employee acknowledges that all tangible items containing any Confidential Information, including without limitation memoranda, photographs, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints, prototypes, notes, documents, drawings, specifications, software, media and other materials, including any copies thereof (including electronically recorded copies), are the exclusive property of Univar or its applicable Affiliate, and Employee shall deliver to Univar all such material in Employee’s possession or control upon Univar’s request and in any event upon the termination of Employee’s employment with Univar. Employee shall also return any keys, equipment, identification or credit cards, or other property belonging to Univar or its Affiliates upon termination or request.

6. Inventions.

6.1 Employee understands and agrees that all Inventions are the exclusive property of Univar. As used in this Agreement, “Inventions” shall include without limitation ideas, discoveries, developments, concepts, inventions, original works of authorship, trademarks, mask works, trade secrets, ideas, data, information, know-how, documentation, formulae, results, prototypes, designs, methods, processes, products, formulas and techniques, improvements to any of the foregoing, and all other matters ordinarily intended by the words “intellectual property,” whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or otherwise able to be registered, which are developed, created, conceived of or reduced to practice by Employee, alone or with others, during Employee’s employment with Univar or Affiliates, whether or not during working hours or within three (3) months thereafter and related to Univar’s then existing or proposed business. In recognition of Univar’s ownership of all Inventions, Employee shall make prompt and full disclosure to Univar of, will hold in trust for the sole benefit of Univar, and (subject to Section 6.2 below) hereby assigns, and agrees to assign in the future, exclusively to Univar all of Employee’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all such Inventions.

6.2 NOTICE REQUIRED BY REVISED CODE OF WASHINGTON 49.44.140: Employee understands that Employee’s obligation to assign inventions shall not apply to any inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of Univar was used and that was developed entirely on Employee’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) directly to the business of Univar, or (ii) to Univar’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by Employee for Univar.

6.3 To the extent any works of authorship created by Employee made within the scope of employment may be considered “works made for hire” under United States copyright laws, they are hereby agreed to be works made for hire. To the extent any such works do not qualify as a “work made for hire” under applicable law, and to the extent they include material subject to copyright, Employee hereby irrevocably and exclusively assigns and conveys all rights, title and interests in such works to Univar subject to no liens, claims or reserved rights. Employee hereby waives any and all “moral rights” that may be applicable to any of the foregoing, for any and all uses, alterations, and exploitation thereof by Univar, or its Affiliates, or their successors, assignees or licensees. To the extent that any such “moral rights” may not be waived in accordance with law, Employee agrees not to bring any claims, actions or litigation against Univar or its Affiliates, or their successors, assignees or licensees, based on or to enforce such rights. Without limiting the preceding, Employee agrees that Univar may in its discretion edit, modify, recast, use, and promote any such works of authorship, and derivatives thereof, with or without the use of Employee’s name or image, without compensation to Employee other than that expressly set forth herein.

6.4 Employee hereby waives and quitclaims to Univar any and all claims of any nature whatsoever that Employee now or hereafter may have for infringement of any patent or patents from any patent applications for any Inventions. Employee agrees to cooperate fully with Univar and take all other such acts requested by Univar (including signing applications for patents, assignments, and other papers, and such things as Univar may require) to enable Univar to establish and protect its ownership in any Inventions and to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement, during Employee’s employment or thereafter. If Employee fails to execute such documents by reason of death, mental or physical incapacity or any other reason, Employee hereby irrevocably appoints Univar and its officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute such documents on Employee’s behalf.

6.5 Employee agrees that there are no Inventions made by Employee prior to Employee’s employment with Univar and belonging to Employee that Employee wishes to have excluded from this Section 6 (the “Excluded Inventions”). If during Employee’s employment with Univar, Employee uses in the specifications or development of, or otherwise incorporates into a product, process, service, technology, or machine of Univar or its Affiliates, or otherwise uses any invention, proprietary know-how, or other intellectual property in existence before the Effective Date owned by Employee or in which Employee has any interest (“Existing Know-How”), Univar or its Affiliates, as the case may be, is hereby granted and shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide right and license under the Existing Know-How (including any patent or other intellectual property rights

-4-

therein) to make, have made, use, sell, reproduce, distribute, make derivative works from, publicly perform and display, and import, and to sublicense any and all of the foregoing rights to that Existing Know-How (including the right to grant further sublicenses) without restriction as to the extent of Employee’s ownership or interest, for so long as such Existing Know-How is in existence and is licensable by Employee.

7. Nonsolicitation.

7.1 During Employee’s employment with Univar, and for a period expiring eighteen (18) months after the termination of Employee’s employment, regardless of the reason, if any, for such termination, Employee shall not, in the United States, Western Europe or Canada, directly or indirectly:

7.1.1 solicit or entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any officer, employee, consultant or agent of Univar or any of its Affiliates to alter or discontinue his or her relationship with Univar, or its Affiliate;

7.1.2 solicit from any person or entity that was a customer of Univar or any of its Affiliates during Employee’s employment with Univar, any business of a type or nature similar to the business of Univar or any of its Affiliates with such customer;

7.1.3 solicit, divert, or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any supplier of Univar or any of its Affiliates to discontinue its relationship with Univar or its Affiliates;

7.1.4 solicit, divert, take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away any customers of Univar or its Affiliates; or

7.1.5 engage in or participate in the chemical distribution or logistics business.

7.2 Nothing in Section 7.1 limits Employee’s ability to hire an employee of Univar or any of its Affiliates in circumstances under which such employee first contacts Employee regarding employment and Employee does not violate any of Sections 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.3, 7.1.4 or 7.1.5 herein.

7.3 Univar and Employee agree that the provisions of this Section 7 do not impose an undue hardship on Employee and are not injurious to the public; that this provision is necessary to protect the business of Univar and its Affiliates; that the nature of Employee’s responsibilities with Univar under this Agreement provide and/or will provide Employee with access to Confidential Information that is valuable and confidential to Univar and its Affiliates; that Univar would not employ Employee if Employee did not agree to the provisions of this Section 7; that this Section 7 is reasonable in terms of length of time and scope; and that adequate consideration supports this Section 7. In the event that a court determines that any provision of this Section 7 is unreasonably broad or extensive, Employee agrees that such Court should narrow such provision to the extent necessary to make it reasonable and enforce the provision as narrowed.

7.4 This Section 7 supplements and does not replace any other obligations the Employee may have with regard to the subject matter herein.

8. Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement regarding dispute resolution, including Section 8, Employee agrees that Employee’s violation of any of Sections 4, 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement would cause Univar or its Affiliates irreparable harm which would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages and that an injunction may be granted by any court or courts having jurisdiction, restraining Employee from violation of the terms of this Agreement, upon any breach or threatened breach of Employee of the obligations set forth in any of Sections 4, 5, 6 or 7. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit Univar or its Affiliates from any other relief or damages to which it may be entitled as a result of Employee’s breach of any provision of this Agreement, including Sections 4, 5, 6 or 7.

-5-

9. Venue. Except for proceedings for injunctive relief, the venue of any litigation arising out of Employee’s employment with Univar or interpreting or enforcing this Agreement shall lie in a court of appropriate jurisdiction in DuPage County, Illinois.

10. Disclosure. Employee agrees fully and completely to reveal the terms of the terms of Sections 4, 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement to any future employer or business contacts of Employee and authorizes Univar and its Affiliates, at their election, to make such disclosure.

11. Representation of Employee. Employee represents and warrants to Univar that Employee is free to enter into this Agreement and has no commitment, arrangement or understanding to or with any party that restrains or is in conflict with Employee’s performance of the covenants, services and duties provided for in this Agreement. Employee shall not in the course of Employee’s employment violate any obligation that Employee may owe any third party, including former employers.

12. Fees. The prevailing party will be entitled to its costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in any litigation relating to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement.

13. Assignability. During Employee’s employment, this Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the written consent of the other; provided, however, that Univar may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Employee’s consent to any of its Affiliates or to a successor by sale, merger or liquidation, if such successor carries on the business substantially in the form in which it is being conducted at the time of the sale, merger or liquidation and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, such assignment and Employee’s transfer of employment thereunder shall not be deemed a termination of employment under Section 3.2 of this Agreement. This Agreement is binding upon Employee, Employee’s heirs, personal representatives and permitted assigns and on Univar, its successors and assigns.

14. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder is sufficient if in writing and delivered by e-mail, hand, by facsimile or by registered or certified mail, at a valid address of Employee on file with Univar, or in the case of Univar at the address of its principal Employee offices (attention: General Counsel), or such other address as may be provided to each party by the other.

15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or compliance by any of the parties with any provision of this Agreement constitutes a violation of any law, or is or becomes unenforceable or void, then such provision, to the extent only that it is in violation of law, unenforceable or void, shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary so that it is no longer in violation of law, unenforceable or void, and such provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If such modification is not possible, said provision, to the extent that it is in violation of law, unenforceable or void, shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which provisions will remain binding on the parties.

16. Waivers. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereby or by law.

17. Governing Law. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of such laws.

18. Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of this Agreement shall survive a termination of this Agreement or the termination of Employee’s employment with Univar, except for obligations under Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4.

19. Entire Agreement. This instrument contains the entire agreement of Employee and Univar with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior such agreements and understandings, and there are no other such representations or agreements other than as stated in this Agreement related to the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment with Univar. This Agreement

-6-

may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought, and any such modification agreed to by Univar must, in order to be binding upon Univar, be signed by the Chief Employee Officer of Univar.

20. Employee’s Recognition of Agreement. Employee acknowledges that Employee has read and understood this Agreement and agrees that its terms are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the business of Univar and its Affiliates. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been advised by Univar that Employee is entitled to have this Agreement reviewed by an attorney of her selection, at Employee’s expense, prior to signing, and that Employee has either done so or elected to forgo that right.

21. Delayed Payment under certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent required to avoid an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the payment of any compensation pursuant to Sections 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.3 or 3.4, shall be delayed for a period of six (6) months after Employee’s separation from service if Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). In such a circumstance, the payments that would otherwise have been made during such six (6) month period will be paid on the six-month anniversary of Employee’s separation from service.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly signed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
