For the avoidance of doubt, the reservations and grants set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) in this Section 2.1(f) shall not, and shall not be deemed to, render any other right of or grant to CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT in this Agreement that is not non-exclusive (e.g., an exclusive license) to be non-exclusive or otherwise limit such right or grant.

(g) By-Products, Impurities and Intermediates of Chemours Products. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c)), the rights granted under Section 2.1(a) shall include the rights to make or have made any by-product, impurity or intermediate of any process to make any Chemours Product in connection with exercising such rights granted under Section 2.1(a), in each case without limiting any of the restrictions and exclusions hereunder.

(h) Third Party Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the licenses granted under this Section 2.1, including any exclusivity thereof, are subject to any rights of or obligations owed to any Third Parties with respect to the applicable Licensed IP pursuant to agreements existing as of the Effective Date between the applicable Licensor or its Affiliates and such Third Parties.

Section 2.2 Licenses to DuPont of CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT Licensed Patents.

(a) License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, acting on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, each of CHEMOURS FC (with respect to the CHEMOURS FC Licensed Patents) and CHEMOURS TT (with respect to the CHEMOURS TT Licensed Patents) hereby grants DuPont an irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicenseable (to the extent permitted in Section 2.2(c)), worldwide license in, to and under the CHEMOURS FC Licensed Patents (with respect to CHEMOURS FC and its Affiliates) and the CHEMOURS TT Licensed Patents (with respect to CHEMOURS TT and its Affiliates) to make, have made, offer for sale, sell, import, export and use:

(i) any Chemours Non-Exclusive Make & Sell Products, which license to make and have made (and to import and export in conjunction therewith) shall be non-exclusive, and which (subject to Sections 2.2(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi)) license to offer for sale, sell and use (and to import and export in conjunction therewith) shall be non-exclusive outside of the Chemours Exclusive Make & Sell End-Uses;

(ii) with respect to each Chemours Product, anything described on Schedule A in the corresponding column labelled “Excluded Products and Fields”, which license shall be exclusive;

(iii) any VF Products, which license shall be exclusive, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT (or their respective permitted Chemours Sublicensees) from engaging in the Permitted VF Activities;

(iv) any PV Products, which license shall be exclusive, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT (or their respective permitted Chemours Sublicensees) from engaging in the Permitted PV Activities;

(v) in the Energy Storage Field, subject to such other terms and conditions as are mutually agreed in writing between the applicable Parties in the Energy Storage Collaboration Agreement or any other agreement between the applicable Parties specifically referencing this Agreement, anything (including products, End-Uses or activities) not exclusively licensed to CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT under Section 2.1(a), and which license shall be non-exclusive where CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT is granted non-exclusive rights under Section 2.1(a) and otherwise exclusive; and

(vi) anything (including products, End-Uses or activities) not expressly exclusively licensed to CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT under Section 2.1(a), which license shall be non-exclusive where CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT is granted non-exclusive rights under Section 2.1(a) and otherwise exclusive.

(b) DuPont Reserved Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including any exclusivity granted under Section 2.1 or limitations under Section 2.2(a)), and in addition to the rights granted to DuPont under Section 2.2(a), acting on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, each of CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT hereby:

(i) acknowledges and agrees that DuPont and its Affiliates shall at all times have and retain, and DuPont hereby expressly reserves for itself and its Affiliates, the DuPont Reserved Rights; and

(ii) grants DuPont an irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicenseable (to the extent permitted in Section 2.2(c)), worldwide license in, to and under the CHEMOURS FC Licensed Patents (with respect to CHEMOURS FC and its Affiliates) and the CHEMOURS TT Licensed Patents (with respect to CHEMOURS FC and its Affiliates) to exercise the DuPont Reserved Rights.

For the avoidance of doubt, the reservation and grants in this Section 2.2(b) shall be on a non-exclusive basis, provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 2.2(b) shall not, and shall not be deemed to, render any other right of or grant to DuPont in this Agreement that is not non-exclusive (e.g., an exclusive license) to be non-exclusive or otherwise limit such right or grant.

(c) Sublicenses. DuPont may sublicense its rights under this Section 2.2 to its Affiliates and Third Parties (each such Affiliate and Third Party, a “DuPont Sublicensee,” and, collectively with any Chemours Sublicensees, the “Sublicensees”), in each case without restriction. For clarity, granting a sublicense shall not relieve DuPont of any obligations hereunder and DuPont shall cause the DuPont Sublicensees which are Affiliates of DuPont to comply, and shall remain responsible for such DuPont Sublicensees’ compliance, with the terms hereof applicable to DuPont.

(d) Non-Assertion. In addition to any licenses granted by CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT under Section 2.2(a), CHEMOURS FC hereby agrees not to assert (and shall cause its Affiliates not to assert) any (i) Patent that is associated with any Chemours Fluoroelastomer Products in the DuPont “OneIP” database as of the Effective Date or (ii) Chemours Fluoroelastomer Products Know-How that is used in connection with any DuPont Perfluorinated Elastomers as of the Effective Date, in each case with respect to:

(ii) any licensee or sublicensee (each of the foregoing, as in effect as of the Effective Date) (including any customer or customer’s customers of DuPont or any of its Affiliates or such authorized licensee or sublicensee) of DuPont or any of its Affiliates making, having made, using, selling, offering to sell or importing DuPont Perfluorinated Elastomers (on any scale) which such licensee or sublicensee is making, having made, using, selling, offering to sell or importing on a commercial scale as of the Effective Date (and substantial equivalent DuPont Perfluorinated Elastomers thereof) in the same or substantially equivalent process as authorized by DuPont or any of its Affiliates and as practiced as of the Effective Date.

(e) Consulting Businesses Activities. In addition to the rights granted and reserved under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT, acting on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby acknowledges and agrees that DuPont and its Affiliates shall at all times have and retain, and DuPont hereby expressly reserves for itself and its Affiliates, the worldwide rights under the DuPont Licensed IP to, and to license or sublicense any Persons to, conduct and otherwise engage in the applicable activities designated for DuPont and described in Schedule B, in each case only as described therein and subject to such restrictions with respect thereto as set forth in Schedule B, in each case on an irrevocable, royalty-free and fully paid-up basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall not, and shall not be deemed to, render any other right of or grant to DuPont in this Agreement that is not non-exclusive (e.g., an exclusive license) to be non-exclusive or otherwise limit such right or grant.

(f) Chemical and Biological Clearing House Operations. CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT understand that DuPont’s Crop Chemicals business operates a Chemical and Biological Clearing House (CBCH) containing large numbers of samples of chemicals and that DuPont and its Affiliates exchange or sell those chemicals (directly or indirectly through others) and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, DuPont and its Affiliates may carry out such activities using the DuPont Licensed IP without restriction and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the foregoing shall not constitute a breach or other violation of this Agreement.

(g) Third Party Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the licenses granted under this Section 2.2, including any exclusivity thereof, are subject to any rights of or obligations owed to any Third Parties with respect to the applicable Licensed IP pursuant to agreements existing as of the Effective Date between the applicable Licensor or its Affiliates and such Third Parties.

Section 2.3 Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party reserves its and its Affiliates’ rights in and to all Intellectual Property that is not expressly licensed or otherwise granted hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement and the licenses and rights granted herein do not, and shall not be construed to, confer any rights upon either Party, its Affiliates, or its Sublicensees by implication, estoppel, or otherwise as to any of the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ Intellectual Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Except as set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not restrict DuPont’s or its Affiliates’ ability to purchase and use any product (including products obtained from another Party or Third Parties) for any purpose, provided, however, that this provision shall not be construed to require any Party or any of its Affiliates to sell any product to the other Party.

Section 2.4 Analytical Methods; Instruments and Tools. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Each Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to use the Analytical Methods for any and all purposes, subject to and without limiting the restrictions and limitations on CHEMOURS FC’s and CHEMOURS TT’s licenses hereunder (including under Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c)); and

(b) Data and other information produced or otherwise resulting from the use of an Analytical Method shall not be deemed to be Licensed Know-How only by virtue of the fact that such Analytical Method constitutes Licensed Know-How under this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE; OWNERSHIP

Section 3.1 Responsibility and Cooperation.

(a) Subject to Section 3.2, Licensor shall be solely responsible for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining all Patents within the Licensed IP owned by Licensor. Licensor shall be responsible for all costs associated with filing, prosecuting, and maintaining such Patents. Without limiting the foregoing, each of CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute and maintain in good faith all Patents within the CHEMOURS FC Licensed Patents or CHEMOURS TT Licensed Patents (as applicable), in each case solely with respect to Patents having claims which relate to any products, End-Uses or activities in the Excluded Field.

(b) Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with Licensor with respect to providing such information or taking such other actions as may be mutually agreed by the Parties in writing in order to protect each Party’s rights in the Licensed IP in connection with requirements or provisions of applicable Laws in local jurisdictions (such as, by way of example and without limitation, providing mutually agreed information to support Patent working requirements in India).

(c) The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to preparing instruments (to be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties) to record Licensee as the licensee of the Licensed IP in any applicable foreign Governmental Entity or registrar where such recordation is required, in each case as and to the extent so required under the applicable Laws of such jurisdictions, and Licensee shall have the right to record such instrument with the applicable Governmental Entity or registrar, in each case at Licensee’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any such instrument, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and such instrument, this Agreement shall control. For clarity and without limiting the foregoing, any such instrument may or may not refer to this Agreement or include disclaimers, limitations or exceptions with respect to the Licensed IP or the licenses thereto and may be dated as of, before or after the Effective Date.

Section 3.2 Failure to Prosecute or Maintain.

(a) In the event that either Party as Licensor decides to forego prosecution or maintenance of a Patent for which it is allocated responsibility pursuant to Section 3.1, such Licensor (the “Abandoning Party”) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Licensee (or, if DuPont is the Abandoning Party, either CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT, at DuPont’s election) at least thirty (30) days prior to the final deadline for taking a necessary step to continue to prosecute or maintain the applicable Patent (such notice, the “Assumption Notice”). Upon receipt of such Assumption Notice, such Licensee will have the option of assuming responsibility for such prosecution and maintenance at its sole expense. If such Licensee elects to assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance pursuant to this Section 3.2, such Licensee shall notify the Abandoning Party in writing of such election within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period requested where the final deadline is in less than thirty

(30) days or the Abandoning Party will be required to incur significant expense to continue or maintain a Patent) following such Assumption Notice from the Abandoning Party, and the Abandoning Party shall either:

(i) withdraw its decision to abandon and continue prosecuting or maintaining such Patent at its expense; or

(ii) assign its entire right, title, and interest in such Patent to Licensee; provided that the Abandoning Party shall:

(1) retain (and is hereby granted) a license with respect to the applicable Patent consistent with Section 2.1 (if the Abandoning Party is CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT, and such Patent shall thereafter be deemed a DuPont Licensed Patent hereunder) or Section 2.2 (if the Abandoning Party is DuPont, and such Patent shall thereafter be deemed a CHEMOURS FC Licensed Patent or CHEMOURS TT Licensed Patent (as applicable) hereunder), except that such license shall be nonexclusive, and

(2) have no other obligation thereby to assign any related Patents or Patent applications, including any Patents or Patent applications in such assigned Patent’s family.

(b) For avoidance of doubt, if the applicable Licensee does not notify the Abandoning Party of its election in writing within thirty (30) days following the applicable Assumption Notice from the Abandoning Party (or such shorter period as specified in Section 3.2(a)), such Licensee (or, if DuPont is the Abandoning Party, both CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT) shall be deemed to have elected to not assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance pursuant to this Section 3.2 and the Licensor may abandon such Patent or decide not to abandon such Patent.

(c) Neither Licensor shall be liable to any Licensee for any inadvertent, unintentional or unavoidable abandonment of any Patent of such Licensor. The assignee Party shall be responsible for preparing and filing assignment documents required for completing formalities to assign the applicable Patent pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii). In the event of an assignment of a Patent pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii), the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate in executing appropriate assignment documents provided by the assignee Party to complete such formalities, such as powers of attorney and documents for recording assignments for all such assigned Patents, upon request from the assignee Party. All out-of-pocket expenses associated with preparing and recording any assignment of a Patent under Section 3.2(a)(ii) shall be paid by the assignee Party. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the assignee shall become responsible for all prosecution or maintenance as of the date of the notice indicating its desires for the assignment and (b) the assignee shall be responsible for all payments due to continue or maintain the Patent, including any expenses for legal services, fees and the like in bills received after receipt of the Assumption Notice (unless the Licensor decides not to abandon the Patent in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)). (If requested by the assignor, the assignee shall promptly reimburse the assignor for any such fee or expense.) If a Patent is assigned under Section 3.2(a)(ii), then, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the assignee may abandon such Patent without notice or obligation of assignment to the other Party.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Licensor shall be (i) free to abandon unpublished patent applications and patent proposals and (ii) shall have no obligation to file any national or regional application based on any international or regional patent applications or filings (including any PCT or EPO applications) whether or not designated under such applications or filings, and such Licensor shall not be obligated to file any patent application based on any patent proposal (in the case of (i)) or designation (in the case of (ii)), in each case without any obligation of notice or assignment in connection with any of the foregoing. No advanced notice thereof shall be required, and such Licensor shall notify the Licensee(s) within thirty (30) days after receiving from Licensee a written request for a status update with respect thereto.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 3.2 only, notices concerning abandoning and assignment of Patents may be sent by e-mail to an e-mail account designated by each Party for sending and receiving such notices, each of which e-mail accounts as of the date hereof is set forth below and can be changed by sending advance written notice to the other Parties at their identified e-mail accounts:

ARTICLE IV

ENFORCEMENT

Section 4.1 Notification. If Licensee becomes aware of (a) any Third Party activities that constitute, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, an infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of any Exclusively Licensed IP licensed to such Licensee in the field where the Licensee has an exclusive license hereunder (“Third Party Infringement”) or (b) any written Third Party allegations of invalidity or unenforceability of any Exclusively Licensed IP licensed to such Licensee (“Invalidity Allegations”), Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor thereof in writing.

Section 4.2 Defense and Enforcement. Licensor shall have the sole initial right, but not the obligation, to elect to bring an Action or enter into settlement discussions regarding Third Party Infringements and Invalidity Allegations with respect to any Exclusively Licensed IP licensed by such Licensor at Licensor’s sole expense. If Licensor does not so elect for a Third Party Infringement or Invalidity Allegation with respect to such Exclusively Licensed IP within one-hundred eighty (180) days after receiving notice from Licensee pursuant to Section 4.1, or Licensor providing notice to Licensee thereof, Licensor shall promptly notify Licensee in writing and such Licensee shall have the right to bring an Action or enter into settlement discussions regarding such Third Party Infringement or Invalidity Allegations at its sole expense; provided, further, that (i) if Licensor does not bring such an Action or elect to (or does not notify Licensee of its election to) bring such an Action for a Third Party Infringement or to defend an Invalidity Allegation with respect to such Exclusively Licensed IP by ten (10) Business Days before the deadline for filing the applicable filing or response, such Licensee shall have the right to bring an Action regarding such Third Party Infringement or Invalidity Allegations at its sole expense, and (ii) Licensor shall have no liability for failing to so notify Licensee as provided in this sentence of this Section 4.2. The Party that elects to bring an Action or enters into settlement discussions in accordance with this Section 4.2 (the “Enforcing Party”) shall control such Action or settlement discussions (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Invalidity Allegations arise in an opposition, interference, reissue proceeding, reexamination or other proceeding before any patent office, the Licensor of the applicable Patent shall have the right to defend such Invalidity Allegations or enter into settlement discussions with respect thereto.

Section 4.3 Cooperation. If the Enforcing Party brings an Action or enters into settlement discussions in accordance with Section 4.2, each other Party shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, at the Enforcing Party’s request and expense. The Enforcing Party shall keep such other Party(ies) regularly informed of the status and progress of such Action or settlement discussions and shall reasonably consider comments of the other Party(ies) in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such other Party(ies) may, at its sole discretion and expense, join as a party to such Action or proceeding; provided that, if necessary for standing purposes, such Party(ies) shall so join such Action or proceeding upon the Enforcing Party’s reasonable request and at the Enforcing Party’s expense. Such other Party(ies) shall have the right to be represented by counsel (which shall act in an advisory capacity only, except for matters solely directed to such Party) of its own choice in any such Action or proceeding at its own expense.

Section 4.4 Settlements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Enforcing Party shall not settle any Third Party Infringement or Invalidity Allegations without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of (i) DuPont (if CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT is the Enforcing Party) or (ii) either CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT (if DuPont is the Enforcing Party), in each case if doing so would (a) adversely affect the validity, enforceability, or scope, or admit non-infringement, of any Licensed IP owned by another Party as Licensor, (b) give rise to liability or any other obligations of the other Party, its Affiliates, or its Sublicensees for which the Party settling the matter is unwilling or unable to, and otherwise does not, provide full indemnification or (c) specifically or by operation of law, grant or waive any of Licensor’s rights under any Licensed IP owned by another Party as Licensor (including the right to exclude or bring an action for recovery of damages).

Section 4.5 Costs, Expenses, and Damages. Any and all amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party in any Action regarding a Third Party Infringement or Invalidity Allegation or settlement thereof shall, unless otherwise agreed, including in an agreement in connection with obtaining consent to settlement, be allocated first to reimburse the Enforcing Party’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action or settlement and next to DuPont’s (if CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT is the Enforcing Party) or CHEMOURS FC’s and CHEMOURS TT’s collective (if DuPont is the Enforcing Party) out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action or settlement. Any and all such recovered amounts remaining following such initial allocation shall be (i) retained by the Licensee with respect to amounts recovered with respect to any Exclusively Licensed IP licensed to such Licensee, and (ii) otherwise retained by the Licensor.

Section 4.6 Patent Challenge Provision.

(a) During the Term, in the event any Party or its Affiliate (such Party, the “Challenging Party”) determines to initiate or participate in a Patent Challenge against (i) DuPont, any of its Affiliates or any other owner of any of the DuPont Licensed Patents (if CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT is the Challenging Party) or (ii) CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT, any of their respective Affiliates or any other owner of any of the CHEMOURS FC Licensed Patents or CHEMOURS TT Licensed Patents (as applicable) (if DuPont is the Challenging Party) (such of DuPont with respect to the foregoing clause (i) or CHEMOURS FC or CHEMOURS TT with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), the “Challenged Party”, and such Patents with respect to such Patent Challenge, the “Challenged Patents”), the Challenging Party shall provide the Challenged Party with at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of such determination (“90 Day Notice Period”), and together with such notice, a competent opinion of counsel outlining the legal position the Challenging Party intends to assert against the Challenged Patents. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4.6, the Challenging Party hereby further agrees to bring any such Patent Challenge with respect to any United States Patent in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable. During the 90 Day Notice Period: (i) the Parties may refer this matter to their respective management in order to attempt to resolve the dispute; and (ii) the Challenged Party shall have a right to give notice to the Challenging Party of the Challenged Party’s intent to have the dispute addressed by either binding or non-binding alternative dispute resolution proceedings, held in Wilmington, Delaware or, in the case of EMEA patent properties, in ▇▇▇▇▇▇,

▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in accordance with fair and equitable practices recommended by the American Arbitration Association, and upon providing such notice, any Patent Challenge shall be subject to such alternative dispute resolution proceeding. The Challenged Party may share information concerning any Patent Challenge with a co-owner or licensee of any challenged patent or patent application, and legal counsel.

(b) In the event that the Patent Challenge under the foregoing clause (a) is to be brought in a country that has a time period for bringing a Patent Challenge of four (4) months or less from the Patent grant date, the 90-Day Notice Period shall be reduced to thirty (30) days.

(c) In the event that any Patent Challenge brought under the foregoing clause (a) does not result in final determination that all of the Challenged Patents are invalid and unenforceable, the Challenging Party shall reimburse the Challenged Party for all legal fees and expenses incurred in its defense of the Patent Challenge.

(d) The foregoing Patent Challenge provisions shall not apply in the situation that a Party or its Affiliate is defending itself against any Action asserting the infringement or other violation of the applicable Challenged Patent.

(a) to the Recipient’s Affiliates or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and advisors (“Representatives”) to the extent reasonably necessary for the Recipient to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under

this Agreement, provided that such Representatives have undertaken an obligation of secrecy through an agreement with Recipient or its Affiliate or through professional ethical obligations arising out of a professional relationship with Recipient or its Affiliate;

(b) to Third Parties (including suppliers (including contractors), customers and potential customers) (but not in the context of a license or a sublicense), provided that such disclosure is subject to secrecy and non-use obligations of a customary nature for disclosures of confidential Know-How of a similar nature (including that, for the avoidance of doubt, such disclosures shall be consistent with the good faith practices and policies of the Recipient based upon (i) the subject matter (e.g., type and depth (extent or level of detail)) of the applicable Confidential Technical Information and (ii) the identity of the recipient thereof (e.g., the same recipients or similarly situated recipients));

(c) in publications in the ordinary course of business within the fields licensed to or retained by such Recipient hereunder, provided that such disclosure is of the general type of information of the nature that is normally published in trade literature, brochures, technical, business or news publications, MSDS’s and the like without a secrecy obligation;

(d) pursuant to an order of a court or other Governmental Entity or as required by applicable Law (including if required by applicable Law in connection with a Recipient’s good-faith pursuit of a bona fide business interest); provided that the Recipient provides the Licensor to the extent practicable with reasonable advance written notice thereof and uses diligent and commercially reasonable efforts and reasonably cooperates with the Licensor to obtain confidential treatment and, if available, an appropriate protective order therefor, if applicable, and only furnishes that Confidential Technical Information that it is advised by counsel that it is legally required to furnish;

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties.

Section 8.2 Waiver. Any consent required or permitted to be given by any Party to the other Parties under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Party giving such consent and shall be effective only against such Party. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right.

Section 8.3 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, including the Appendices, Schedules and Exhibits hereto, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments, course of dealings and writings with respect to such subject matter. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement amends and restates in its entirety as of the Effective Date that Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement between the Parties of even date herewith, and all references to such Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement shall refer to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, for clarity, with respect to any IT Assets in which any Patents or Know-How is contained, stored, represented or embodied, this Agreement shall govern each Party’s rights and obligations with respect to such Patents or Know-How.

Section 8.4 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be assignable, in whole or in part, to (i) an Affiliate or (ii) a bona fide Third Party in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation or the sale or other transfer of all or a portion of the business or assets of a Party or its Affiliates to which this Agreement relates, so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all of the applicable obligations of the relevant Party by operation of law or pursuant to a written agreement (provided that, for clarity, CHEMOURS FC and CHEMOURS TT shall not assign their respective rights hereunder with respect to the DuPont Licensed Engineering and Process Standards and

Policies to a DuPont Competitor (or to any Affiliate of a DuPont Competitor, or any successor thereof or thereto), where such assignment would give the DuPont Competitor or any of its Affiliates rights in or access to the DuPont Licensed Engineering Process Standards and Policies, without DuPont’s prior written consent, except, subject to Section 7.2, in the case of a Change of Control). No assignment permitted by this Section 8.4 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement prior to such assignment (or, with respect to any assignments of this Agreement in part, following such assignment with respect to such parts of this Agreement not so assigned). At the written request of a Party, the other Party shall promptly notify the requesting Party in writing of all Persons to which this Agreement or any part hereof has been assigned (and provide any other information reasonably requested in connection therewith).

Section 8.5 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. With respect to this, if a country or other jurisdiction does not permit perpetual confidentiality provisions then such provisions herein shall be interpreted to run for ninety-nine (99) years or the longest term permitted by applicable Law in such location.

Section 8.6 Notices. Except as provided in Section 3.2(e) and without limiting Section 8.7, all notices, requests, claims, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in English, shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery of an original via overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 8.6):

Dispute Resolution

Section 1.1 Negotiation. In the event of a controversy, dispute or Action arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Action based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (collectively, “Disputes”), the general counsels of the Parties (or such other individuals designated by the respective general counsels) and/or the executive officers designated by the Parties, shall negotiate for a reasonable period of time to settle such Dispute; provided that such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, exceed ninety (90) days (the “Negotiation Period”) from the time of receipt by a Party of written notice of such Dispute (“Dispute Notice”); provided, further, that in the event of any arbitration in accordance with Section 1.2 of this Appendix II, the Parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations and laches arising during the period beginning after the date of receipt of the Dispute Notice, and any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement to which such Dispute relates occurring after the Dispute Notice is received shall not be deemed to have passed until such Dispute has been resolved.

Section 1.2 Arbitration. If the Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after the Negotiation Period, such Dispute shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.

(a) The arbitration shall be conducted by a three-member arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). The claimant shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules, and the respondent shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules within twenty-one days (21) after the appointment of the first arbitrator. The third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the Arbitral Tribunal, shall be jointly nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators within twenty-one (21) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the Rules. The arbitrators shall be attorneys with experience in intellectual property disputes.

(b) The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in New York, New York, in the English language.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, by submitting their dispute to arbitration under the Rules, the Parties expressly agree that all issues of arbitrability, including all issues concerning the propriety and timeliness of the commencement of the arbitration (including any defense based on a statute of limitation, if applicable), the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal, and the procedural conditions for arbitration, shall be finally and solely determined by the Arbitral Tribunal.

(d) Without derogating from Section 1.2(e) of this Appendix II, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the full authority to grant any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, interim or conservatory measure or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings (“Interim Relief”). The parties shall exclusively submit any application for Interim Relief to only: (A) the Arbitral Tribunal; or (B) prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal, an Emergency Arbitrator appointed in the manner provided for

Appendix II-1

in the Rules. Any Interim Relief so issued shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed a final arbitration award for purposes of enforceability, and, moreover, shall also be deemed a term and condition of this Agreement subject to specific performance in Section 8.9. The foregoing procedures shall constitute the exclusive means of seeking Interim Relief, provided, however, that (i) the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to continue, review, vacate or modify any Interim Relief granted by an Emergency Arbitrator; (ii) in the event an Emergency Arbitrator or the Arbitral Tribunal issues an order granting, denying or otherwise addressing Interim Relief (a “Decision on Interim Relief”), any Party may apply to enforce or require specific performance of such Decision on Interim Relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and (iii) any Party shall retain the right to apply for freezing orders to prevent the improper dissipation of transfer of assets to a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that it deems just and equitable and that is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including specific performance and temporary or final injunctive relief, provided, however, that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement, nor any right or power to award punitive, exemplary or treble damages.

(f) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to allocate the costs and fees of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as well as those costs and fees addressed in the Rules, between the parties in the manner it deems fit.

(g) Arbitration under this Appendix II shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Dispute, and any award rendered thereby shall be final and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered. Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its Assets.

Section 1.3 Treatment of Arbitration. The Parties agree that any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential, and that the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall be deemed confidential, and shall not be disclosed beyond the Arbitral Tribunal, the Parties, their counsel, and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as and to the extent required by law and to defend or pursue any legal right. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Section 1.3 of this Appendix II (including any proceedings to enforce a final award or any Interim Relief), that party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application, and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal or Emergency Arbitrator) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any third party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.

Section 1.4 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Appendix II with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Appendix II-2

Section 1.5 Consolidation. The arbitrator may consolidate an arbitration under this Agreement with any arbitration arising under or relating to the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement between the parties entered into pursuant hereto, as the case may be, if the subject of the Disputes thereunder arises out of or relates essentially to the same set of facts or transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.
