FORM OF PLATFORM SPECIALTY PRODUCTS CORPORATION LONG TERM CASH BONUS AWARD FOR ________________________________

1.Long Term Cash Bonus Award. Platform Specialty Products Corporation (the “Company”) hereby grants, as of _________________ (the “Date of Grant”), to __________________(the “Recipient”), the right to receive upon vesting as provided for herein, a gross cash payment equal to USD____________(USD$_______), from which amount appropriate taxes and withholding will be deducted (the “Bonus”). The Bonus shall be subject to the terms, provisions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. As a condition to entering into this Agreement, and to the issuance of any Bonus, the Recipient agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions herein.

(a)General Vesting. Except as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, sixty percent (60%) of the Bonus shall vest on (the “First Vesting Date”) the date on which the Company files its financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “First Measurement Year”), if and only if the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) determines that the Company’s EBITDA generated solely by the Company’s agricultural chemicals business for the single Measurement Year equals or exceeds $575,000,000 (the “First EBITDA Target”). Except as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, forty percent (40%) of the Bonus shall vest on (the “Second Vesting Date”) the date on which the Company files its financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Second Measurement Year”), if and only if the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) determines that the Company’s EBITDA generated solely by the Company’s agricultural chemicals business for the single Measurement Year equals or exceeds $575,000,000 (the “Second EBITDA Target”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the First EBITDA Target is missed in the First Measurement Year but the Second EBITDA Target is achieved in the Second Measurement Year, then one hundred percent (100%) of the Bonus shall vest. Thus vesting of the Bonus will depend on both time and the Company’s achievement of the specified EBITDA TARGET for the specified year. Only EBITDA generated by the Company’s agricultural chemicals business, consisting of the businesses acquired from Chemtura Corporation, Agriphar and Arysta, in the single Measurement Year shall be considered in determining whether the EBITDA Target is achieved. The Committee shall have plenary discretion in determining the components and accounting principles that are considered in calculating the applicable EBITDA. Any vested Bonus will only be paid within ninety (90) days after the end of the Second Measurement Year. The First EBITDA Target and the Second EBITDA Target are generically collectively referred to as the EBITDA Target. The First Vesting Date and the Second Vesting Date are generically collectively referred to as the Vesting Date.

If, during the vesting period (i.e. the time between the effective date and the vesting date), the Company or any of its Related Entities consummates (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise) either an acquisition of any other company or business or a disposition of any material portion of the Company’s assets, in each case, out of the ordinary course of business, (an “Acquired/Disposed Business”), the Committee may determine, in it sole discretion, to adjust the EBITDA Target to account for the relative impact of the Acquired/Disposed Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee does not determine to adjust the EBITDA Target, the results of operations of the Acquired/Disposed Business shall be excluded from the determination of EBITDA and the EBITDA Target shall not be adjusted. Adjustments that may

be made by the Committee pursuant to this Agreement shall be permitted unless expressly prohibited or unless they may cause the Bonus to not satisfy the performance- based exception to Section 162(m) of the Code.

If the Recipient does not remain continuously actively employed by the Company for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, the Bonus granted hereunder shall be forfeited immediately upon such lapse in or termination of active service without recompense to or recourse by the Recipient. Without limiting the foregoing provision, the Bonus will be forfeited without recompense to or recourse by the Recipient, if the Recipient’s active employment with the Company is terminated or lapses at any point prior to the Vesting Date for any reason, including without limitation death, disability, voluntary termination, and involuntary termination (with or without cause).

The Committee shall have the power and authority to enforce on behalf of the Company any rights of the Company under this Agreement in the event of the Recipient’s forfeiture of the Bonus pursuant to this Section 3.

4.Settlement of the Bonus. The Company shall settle the Bonus as soon as practicable on or after the Vesting Date, but in no event later than the 15^th day of the third month following the last day of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs.

5.Transferability. The Bonus is not transferable. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Recipient. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean any sale, transfer, encumbrance, gift, donation, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition, whether similar or dissimilar to those previously enumerated, whether voluntary or involuntary, and including, but not limited to, any disposition by operation of law, by court order, by judicial process, or by foreclosure, levy or attachment.

(a)    Withholding. As a condition to the Company’s obligations with respect to the Bonus hereunder, the Recipient shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay to the Company any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required to be withheld with respect to the Bonus. If the Recipient shall fail to make the tax payments as are required, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such Bonus.

(b)    Recipient’s Responsibilities for Tax Consequences. The tax consequences to the Recipient (including without limitation federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences) with respect to the Bonus (including without limitation the grant, vesting and/or delivery thereof) are the sole responsibility of the Recipient. The Recipient shall consult with his or her own personal accountant(s) and/or tax advisor(s) regarding these matters and the Recipient’s filing, withholding and payment (or tax liability) obligations.

7.Amendment, Modification & Assignment. This Agreement may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by the parties hereto. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, in its sole discretion, this Agreement (and Recipient’s rights hereunder) may not be assigned, and the obligations of Recipient hereunder may not be delegated, in whole or in part. The rights and obligations created hereunder shall be binding on the Recipient and his heirs and legal representatives and on the successors and assigns of the Company.

8.Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances,

commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(a)No Right to (Continued) Employment or Service. This Agreement and the grant of Bonus hereunder shall not confer, or be construed to confer, upon the Recipient any right to employment or service, or continued employment or service, with the Company or any Related Entity.

(b)No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company or any Related Entity from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, and any such plans, agreements and arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases or to specific persons.

(c)Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or under any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law (or if such provision cannot be so construed or deemed amended without materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement and the grant of Bonus hereunder, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction and the remainder of this Agreement and the award hereunder shall remain in full force and effect).

(d)No Trust or Fund Created. Neither this Agreement nor the grant of Bonus hereunder shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Related Entity and the Recipient or any other person. To the extent that the Recipient or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Related Entity pursuant to this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(e)Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to the conflict of laws rules or principles thereof).
