THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION

2005 EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

(As Amended, October 1, 2008)

1. Purpose . The purpose of this 2005 Executive Council Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to permit a person who is a member of the Executive Council (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Member” or as the “Participant”), and who is employed by The Lubrizol Corporation (the “Company”), to defer a portion of such Member’s compensation earned in calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, as provided in this Plan.

2. Administration . The Plan shall be administered by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”). The Committee’s interpretation and construction of all provisions of the Plan shall be binding and conclusive upon all Participants and their heirs and/or successors.

3. Right to Defer Compensation .

(a) A Member may, at any time prior to January 1 of a given calendar year, elect, for one the calendar year commencing with the calendar year immediately following the election (“Participation Year”), to defer under the Plan a pre-selected fixed dollar amount or percentage up to 90 percent of such Member’s annual variable compensation, if any (the “deferred compensation”), under the Company’s annual incentive plan (“Incentive Plan”), which such Participant may thereafter be entitled to receive for services performed during the Participation Year; provided, however that the actual amount deferred will be the elected amount less any applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member may prior to March 15, 2005 make an election relating to deferred compensation with respect to services performed on or after January 1, 2005 and on or before December 31, 2005.

(b) The election under this Section 3 shall take effect on the first day of the elected Participation Year and such election shall be irrevocable for any elected Participation Year once such Participation Year shall have commenced.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b), the first year a Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, he may make an initial deferral election within 30 days after he becomes eligible to participate but only with respect to compensation paid for services performed after the election.

(d) All elections under this Plan shall be made by written notice (on a form provided by the Company) specifying the deferred compensation, if any, determined under paragraph (a).

(e) A Participant must make an election for each Participation Year. Notwithstanding paragraph (b) and the first sentence of this paragraph (e), any variable compensation earned after the end of the first month in which a Participant under this Plan ceases to be a Member, as defined in Section 1, but continues to be employed by the Company, shall not be deferred, provided however, the balance in the Participant’s Stock Deferral Accounts shall continue to be held and administered pursuant to the Plan.

(f) All notices by a Participant under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be given to the Company’s Vice President, Human Resources.

(g) Once a Member has met the Member’s Lubrizol stock ownership guidelines, the Member is no longer eligible to make a deferral election under this Plan; provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to a Member who becomes subject to a higher stock ownership guideline due to a change in the stock ownership requirements or due to the Member’s promotion to a higher level of stock ownership requirement until the Member has met the new stock ownership guidelines.

4. Stock Deferral Accounts and Stock Matching Accounts .

(a) At the close of business of the day on which the Incentive Plan deferred compensation would have been payable to the Participant in the absence of the election under the Plan to defer payment thereof, there shall be credited to a separate Stock Deferral Account and Stock Matching Account for each Participant full and fractional stock equivalent units (“Units”) which shall be established as hereinafter provided and shall be maintained for each Participant on the Company’s records.

(b) The number of full and fractional Units that shall be credited to a separate Stock Deferral Account for a Participant shall be equal to an amount determined by dividing the Participant’s deferred compensation for the applicable Participation Year by the average of the closing price for Lubrizol Common Shares (“Shares”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) composite transactions reporting system (“composite tape”) for each of the ten (10) consecutive trading days commencing on the fourth business day following the release of earnings for such Participation Year.

(c) The number of full and fractional Units that shall be credited to a separate Stock Matching Account for a Participant shall be equal to an amount determined by multiplying the number of Units determined in paragraph (b) by .25.

(d) To the extent that, at the time Units are credited to a Stock Deferral Account Stock Matching Account of a Participant, any federal, state or local payroll withholding tax applies (e.g., Medicare withholding tax), the Participant shall be responsible for the payment of such amount to the Company and the Company shall promptly remit such amount to the proper taxing authority.

(e) The amount of deferred compensation used in the formulae set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) shall not constitute sums due and owing to Participant. Such amounts shall be used solely as part of the formulae to determine the number of full and fractional Units.

(f) As of each dividend payment date established by the Company for the payment of cash dividends with respect to its Shares, the Company shall credit each separate Stock Deferral Account and Stock Matching Account of a Participant with an additional number of whole and/or fractional Units equal to:

 

 

(i)

the product of (x) the dividend per Share which is payable with respect to such dividend payment date, multiplied by (y) the number of whole and fractional Units credited to the separate Stock Deferral Account and Stock Matching Account, respectively, of the Participant as of such payment date;
