SEPARATION AGREEMENT

This SEPARATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 26, 2015, is entered into by and between E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”), a Delaware corporation, and The Chemours Company (“Chemours”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont. “Party” or “Parties” means DuPont or Chemours, individually or collectively, as the case may be. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.1.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, DuPont, acting through its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, currently conducts the DuPont Retained Business and the Chemours Business;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of DuPont (the “Board”) has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of DuPont and its stockholders to separate DuPont into two separate, publicly traded companies, one for each of (i) the DuPont Retained Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by DuPont and its Subsidiaries and (ii) the Chemours Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Chemours and its Subsidiaries;

WHEREAS, in order to effect such separation, the Board has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of DuPont and its stockholders for DuPont to undertake the Internal Reorganization and, in connection therewith, effect the Contribution to Chemours which, in exchange therefor, Chemours shall (i) issue to DuPont shares of Chemours Common Stock and certain Indebtedness incurred by Chemours in connection with the Chemours Financing Arrangements that qualifies as “securities” for the purposes of Section 361 of the Code, (the “Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness”) and (ii) agree to pay DuPont the Chemours Financing Cash Distribution (as defined herein);

WHEREAS, following the Contribution, DuPont shall transfer the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness to certain Persons (the “Debt-for-Debt Exchange Parties”) in exchange for certain debt obligations of DuPont held by the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Parties as principals for their own account (the “Debt-for-Debt Exchange”);

WHEREAS, following the Debt-for-Debt Exchange, the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Parties shall sell the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness and Chemours shall sell the applicable Indebtedness incurred in the Chemours Financing Arrangements (other than the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness);

WHEREAS, following the completion of the Internal Reorganization, the Debt-for-Debt Exchange, and the Chemours Financing Cash Distribution, DuPont shall cause the Distribution Agent to issue pro rata to the Record Holders pursuant to the Distribution Ratio, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Chemours Common Stock (such issuance, the “Distribution”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, (i) the Board has (x) determined that the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined below) have a valid business purpose, are in furtherance of and consistent with its business strategy and are in the best interests of DuPont and its stockholders and (y) approved this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) the board of directors of Chemours has approved this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements (to the extent Chemours is a party thereto);

WHEREAS, it is appropriate and desirable to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Distribution and certain other agreements relating to the relationship of DuPont and Chemours and their respective Subsidiaries following the Distribution;

WHEREAS, DuPont has received a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service substantially to the effect that, among other things, the Contribution and the Distribution, taken together, will, based upon and subject to the assumptions, representations and qualifications set forth therein, qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties that the Contribution and the Distribution, taken together, will qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.368-2(g).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein or in the Tax Matters Agreement, the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to Taxes shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement and, therefore, Taxes (including any Tax items, attributes or rights to receive any Tax Refunds (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement)) shall not be treated as Assets.

(v) all rights, title and interest in and to the owned real property set forth on Schedule 1.1(18)(v), including all land and land improvements, structures, buildings and building improvements, other improvements and appurtenances located thereon (the “Chemours Owned Real Property”);

(x) the Plant Operating Documents to the extent owned by DuPont or its Affiliates and used exclusively with, and necessary for, operation of equipment, machinery and facilities included in the other clause of this definition of “Chemours Assets” in connection with the Chemours Business, provided that such equipment, machinery and facilities are located at the Relevant Sites as of the Distribution Date (“Chemours Plant Operating Documents”);

(xi) the Engineering Models and Databases to the extent owned by DuPont or its Affiliates and used exclusively with, and necessary for, operation of equipment, machinery and facilities and unit operations included in the other clause of this definition of “Chemours Assets” in connection with the Chemours Business; provided that such equipment, machinery and facilities and/or unit operations are located at the Relevant Sites as of the Distribution Date (“Chemours Engineering Models and Databases”);

(xii) the (A) Trademarks that are not subject to a registration or application and are exclusively used and exclusively held for use in the Chemours Business (excluding any DuPont Retained Names) (“Chemours Unregistered Trademarks”), and (B) the Copyrights that are not subject to a registration or application and are exclusively used and exclusively held for use in the Chemours Business (“Chemours Unregistered Copyrights”);

(xv) the IT Assets that (i) are listed on Schedule 1.1(18)(xv) or (ii) are exclusively used and exclusively held for use in the Chemours Business, excluding any Patents and Know-How contained, stored, represented or embodied therein and excluding Internet Protocol addresses (“Chemours IT Assets”);

(xvi) subject to Article IX, any rights of any member of the Chemours Group under any Company Policies, including any rights thereunder arising after the Effective Time in respect of any Policies that are occurrence policies and all rights in the nature of insurance, indemnification or contribution; provided that ownership of the Company Policies shall remain with the DuPont Group; and

(xvii) all other Assets (other than any Assets relating to Intellectual Property, Chemours Owned Real Property, Chemours Leased Real Property, or Assets that are of the type that would be listed in clauses (v), (vi) and (viii) through (xv)) that are held by the Chemours Group or DuPont Group immediately prior to the Distribution and that are exclusively used and exclusively held for use in the Chemours Business as conducted immediately prior to the Distribution (the intention of this clause (xvii) is only to rectify an inadvertent omission of transfer or assignment of any Asset that, had the Parties given specific consideration to such Asset as of the date of this Agreement, would have otherwise been classified as a Chemours Asset based on the principles of this Section 1.1(18); provided that no Asset shall be a Chemours Asset solely as a result of this clause (xvii) unless a written claim with respect thereto is made by Chemours on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the Distribution).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Chemours Assets shall not include (i) any Assets that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement or by any Ancillary Agreement (or the Schedules hereto or thereto) as Assets to be retained by or Transferred to any member of the DuPont Group (including all DuPont Retained Assets), (ii) any Assets governed by the Tax Matters Agreement or (iii) any Assets that are expressly listed on Schedule 1.1(18).

(19) “Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities” shall mean the following:

(i) Any and all Environmental Liabilities relating to events, conduct, conditions or occurrences from before, on or after the Effective Time, relating to or associated with Chemours-Only Property;

(ii) Any and all Environmental Liabilities relating to events, conduct, conditions, or occurrences that arose on or before the Effective Time and are “primarily associated” with the Chemours Business, the Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations, in each case, relating to or associated with DuPont Group Real Property. Environmental Liabilities are “primarily associated” with the Chemours Business, the Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations if, considering the factors set forth on Schedule 1.1(19)(ii)(A), it is determined, in accordance with the following, that the share of liability that is attributable to the Chemours Business, the Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations, in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to be at least 50.1% of the total costs (including any related legal or other advisory fees and expenses) to resolve the liability. A non-exclusive list of currently known matters that fall within the scope of this subclause (ii) or subclause (iii), including the allocation of liability between the Chemours Group and the DuPont Group, is set forth on Schedule 1.1(19)(ii)(B). With respect to existing matters (as of the Effective Time) or new matters, in each case, that are not identified on Schedule 1.1(19)(ii)(B) but that fall either within the scope of this subclause (ii) or subclause (iii), the DuPont Group shall, in its reasonable determination, determine whether such Environmental Liabilities are primarily associated with the Chemours Business, the Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations. Such determinations may be challenged by the Chemours Group pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VIII of this Agreement. The burden of proof to rebut such determination shall be borne by the Chemours Group. Responsibilities with respect to environmental matters concerning events, conduct, conditions or occurrences first arising after the Effective Time at the DuPont Group Landlord Properties shall be governed by the leases and other applicable agreements entered into by the a member of Chemours Group, on the one hand, and a member of the DuPont Group, on the other hand, with respect to such properties. For the avoidance of doubt, any allocation of liability set forth on Schedule 1.1(19)(ii)(B) shall be deemed to be finally determined in accordance with the allocation reflected on such Schedule and the Parties agree not to, and agree to cause the respective members of the DuPont Group and the Chemours Group, as applicable, not to, bring any Action challenging any such allocation thereunder or assert any right to dispute resolution under Article VIII of this Agreement with respect thereto.

(iii) The share of Environmental Liabilities relating to events, conduct, conditions, or occurrences that arose on or before the Effective Time, relating to or associated with DuPont Group Real Property, that are attributable in part, but are not primarily associated with, the Chemours Business, the Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations. A non-exclusive list of currently known matters that fall within the scope of this subclause, including the allocation of liability between the Chemours Group and the DuPont Group, is set forth on Schedule 1.1(19)(ii)(B);

(iv) Any and all Environmental Liabilities relating to events, conduct, conditions or occurrences from before, on or after the Effective Time, with respect to the Chemours Business, the Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations, in each case, relating to or associated with Chemours Group Landlord Property;

(v) Any and all Remediation Liabilities and Hazardous Substance Damage Liabilities relating to events, conduct, conditions or occurrences that arose on or before the Effective Time, in each case, relating to or associated with Chemours Group Landlord Property, and arising from the operations or activities of the DuPont Group or any other Person (excluding the Chemours Group, which shall be covered in subclause (iv)), at such properties; and any Environmental Compliance Liabilities at such properties that relate to DuPont Group operations or activities that have been discontinued before the Effective Time or that relate to the operations or activities of any other Person before the Effective Time. For purposes of clarification, Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities do not include any Environmental Compliance Liabilities, relating to conduct that arose on or before the Effective Time, arising out of or in connection with the specific operations and activities of the DuPont Group that will continue at such properties after the Effective Time. A non-exclusive list of currently known matters that are Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities that fall within the scope of subclause (iv) or (v) is set forth on Schedule 1.1(19)(v). Responsibilities with respect to environmental matters concerning events, conduct, conditions or conditions first arising after the Effective Time shall be governed by the leases and other applicable agreements entered into by the a member of Chemours Group, on the one hand, and a member of the DuPont Group, on the other hand, with respect to such properties;

(vi) Any and all Off-Site Environmental Liabilities arising out of or in connection with or relating to disposal, recycling, reclamation, treatment or storage of Hazardous Substances, or the arrangement for same, from:

(A) Chemours-Only Property, whether or not the disposal or activity that is the source of the liability related to the Chemours Business, Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations;

(B) Chemours Group Landlord Property (with respect to such activities occurring before the Effective Time), whether or not the disposal or activity that is the source of the liability related to the Chemours Business, Chemours Group or Chemours Discontinued Operations;

Section 2.6 Transfers Not Effected at or Prior to the Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Effective Time.

(a) To the extent that any Transfers or Assumptions contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Transfers or Assumptions as promptly following the Effective Time as shall be practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Article II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated, from and after the Effective Time (i) the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and (ii) the Party intended to Assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability. To the extent the foregoing applies to any Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.3) to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Effective Time, the treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.9, to the extent applicable. In addition, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be Transferred or by the Party Assuming such Liability in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member or members of the DuPont Group or the Chemours Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to Assume such Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.9(b), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.2) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party, be deemed to have become effective as of the Effective Time.

(c) The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or otherwise shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Asset or Liability, as the case may be.

(d) After the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to another Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party is hereby authorized to receive and, if reasonably necessary to identify the proper recipient in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), open all mail, packages and other communications received by such Party that belongs to such other Party, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same also relates to the business of the receiving Party or another Party, copies thereof) to such other Party as provided for in Section 10.6. The provisions of this Section 2.6(d) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party for service of process purposes.

(e) With respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Section 2.6(a), each of DuPont and Chemours shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Tax Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

Section 2.9 Novation of Liabilities; Indemnification.

(a) Each Party, at the request of any member of the other Party’s Group (such other Party, the “Other Party”), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law all obligations under Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed by Section 2.3) and Liabilities (other than with regard to guarantees or Credit Support Instruments, which shall be governed by Section 2.10), but solely to the extent that the Parties are jointly or each severally liable with regard to any such Contracts or Liabilities and such Contracts or Liabilities have been, in whole, but not in part, allocated to the first Party, or, if permitted by applicable Law, to obtain in writing the unconditional release of the applicable Other Party so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group shall be solely responsible for such Contracts or Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party). In addition, with respect to any Action where any Party hereto is a defendant, when and if requested by such Party, the Other Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to petition the applicable court to remove the requesting Party as a defendant to the extent that such Action relates solely to Assets or Liabilities that the Other Party (or any member of such requesting Party’s Group) has been allocated pursuant to this Article II, and the Other Party will cooperate and assist in any required communication with any plaintiff or other related third party.

(b) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment referenced in Section 2.9(a), the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Party, the Party or member of such Party’s Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause a member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Party’s Group thereunder from and after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Liable Party or a member of such Liable Party’s Group, as agent or subcontractor of the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group, to the extent reasonably necessary to pay, perform and discharge fully any Liabilities, or retain the benefits (including pursuant to Section 2.6) associated with such Contract or license, is hereby granted the right to, among other things, (i) prepare, execute and submit invoices under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (ii) send correspondence relating to matters under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (iii) file Actions in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) in connection with such Contract or license and (iv) otherwise exercise all rights in respect of such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group); provided that (y) such actions shall be taken in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) only to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing and (z) to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.9(b) and the provisions of any more specific arrangement between a member of such Liable Party’s Group and a member of such Other Party’s Group, such more specific arrangement shall control. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided, that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Liabilities arise from such Other Party’s willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence in connection therewith, in which case such Other Party shall be responsible for such Liabilities. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or, at the direction of the Liable Party, to another member of the Liable Party’s Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly Transfer or cause the Transfer of all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of such Other Party or any member of such Other Party’s Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall Assume such rights and Liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Each of the applicable Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take all actions and do all things reasonably necessary on its part, or such Subsidiaries’ part, under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.9.

No action by any Record Holder (or such Record Holder’s designated transferee or transferees) shall be necessary to receive the applicable number of shares of Chemours Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) such stockholder is entitled to in the Distribution.

Section 4.2 Fractional Shares. Record Holders who, after aggregating the number of shares of Chemours Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such stockholder would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Chemours Common Stock in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional shares of Chemours Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (a) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Chemours Common Stock allocable to each Record Holder, (b) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of Chemours Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income tax purposes. DuPont shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer Taxes incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Distribution Agent. None of DuPont, Chemours or the applicable Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of Chemours Common Stock. Neither DuPont nor Chemours will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the selected broker-dealers will be Affiliates of DuPont or Chemours.

Section 4.3 Actions in Connection with the Distribution.

(a) Prior to the Distribution Date, Chemours shall file such amendments and supplements to its Form 10 as DuPont may reasonably request, and such amendments as may be necessary in order to cause the same to become and remain effective as required by Law, including filing such amendments and supplements to its Form 10 as may be required by the Commission or federal, state or foreign securities Laws. DuPont shall, or at DuPont’s election, Chemours shall, mail (or deliver by electronic means where not prohibited by Law) to the holders of DuPont Common Stock, at such time on or prior to the Distribution Date as DuPont shall determine, the Information Statement included in its Form 10 (or a Notice of Internet Availability of the Information Statement), as well as any other information concerning Chemours, its business, operations and management, the transaction contemplated herein and such other matters as DuPont shall reasonably determine are necessary and as may be required by Law. Promptly after receiving a request from DuPont, Chemours shall prepare and, in accordance with applicable Law, file with the Commission any such documentation that DuPont reasonably determines is necessary or desirable to effectuate the Distribution, and DuPont and Chemours shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary approvals from the Commission with respect thereto as soon as practicable.

(b) Chemours shall use commercially reasonable efforts in preparing, filing with the Commission and causing to become effective, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any case prior to the Effective Time), an effective registration statement or amendments thereof which are required in connection with the establishment of, or amendments to, any employee benefit plans of Chemours.

(c) To the extent not already approved and effective, Chemours shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have approved and made effective, the application for the original listing on the NYSE of the Chemours Common Stock to be distributed in the Distribution, subject to official notice of distribution.

(d) To the extent not already completed, Chemours shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions to effect the issuance of the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness, complete the Debt-for-Debt Exchange, and take all other actions to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Chemours Financing Arrangements, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreements governing the foregoing.

(e) Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be deemed to shift or otherwise impose Liability for any portion of Chemours’ Form 10 or Information Statement to DuPont.

Section 4.4 Sole Discretion of DuPont. DuPont, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine the Distribution Date, the Effective Time and all other terms of the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions and/or offerings to effect the Distribution and the timing of and conditions to the consummation thereof. In addition, DuPont may, in accordance with Section 10.10, at any time and from time to time until the completion of the Distribution decide to abandon the Distribution or modify or change the terms of the Distribution, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution. Without limiting the foregoing, DuPont shall have the right not to complete the Distribution if, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Board shall have determined, in its sole discretion, that the Distribution is not in the best interests of DuPont or its stockholders, that a sale or other alternative is in the best interests of DuPont or its stockholders or that it is not advisable at that time for Chemours Business to separate from DuPont.

None of Chemours, any other member of the Chemours Group, or any third party shall have any right or claim to require the consummation of the Distribution, which shall be effected at the sole discretion of the Board. Any determination made by DuPont prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.5 shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto. The conditions are for the sole benefit of DuPont and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of DuPont or the Board to waive or not waive any such condition. Each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the other Party apprised of its efforts with respect to, and the status of, each of the following conditions:

(a) the making of the Chemours Financing Cash Distribution, and the determination by DuPont in its sole discretion that following the separation it will have no further liability or obligation whatsoever under any financing arrangements that Chemours will be entering into in connection with the separation;

(b) the Commission shall have declared effective the Form 10, of which the information statement forms a part, and no stop order relating to the registration statement will be in effect, no proceedings seeking such stop order shall be pending before or threatened by the Commission, and the information statement (or the Notice of Internet Availability of the Information Statement) shall have been distributed to holders of DuPont Common Stock;

(c) the Chemours Common Stock shall have been approved and accepted for listing by the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance;

(h) the Internal Reorganization shall have been effectuated prior to the Distribution, except for such steps (if any) as DuPont in its sole discretion shall have determined need not be completed or may be completed after the Effective Time;

(i) the Board shall have declared the Distribution and approved all related transactions (and such declaration or approval shall not have been withdrawn);

Chemours and the members of the Chemours Group shall not use the DuPont Retained Names in a manner that may reflect negatively on such name and marks or on DuPont or any member of the DuPont Group. Upon expiration or termination of the rights granted to the Chemours Group pursuant to this Section, Chemours hereby assigns, and shall cause the other members of the Chemours Group to assign, to DuPont their rights (if any) to any Trademarks forming a part of or associated with the DuPont Retained Names.

Chemours shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless DuPont and the members of the DuPont Group from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising from or relating to the use by any member of the Chemours Group of the DuPont Retained Names pursuant to this Section 5.2(a).

(b) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 5.2 would be inadequate and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, DuPont and the members of the DuPont Group shall be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond or other undertaking, in any Action which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 5.2.

In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, Chemours shall and shall cause the other members of the Chemours Group, until such time that any such member has been sold or otherwise transferred in connection with a Disposition Event, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the DuPont Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the DuPont Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Chemours Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Chemours Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Chemours Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time, (b) any Chemours Asset or Chemours Business, whether arising prior to, on or after the Effective Time, or (c) any breach by Chemours of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 6.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) Direct Claims. Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Section 6.4(b), each DuPont Indemnitee and Chemours Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article VI or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), within forty-five (45) days of such determination, stating in such written notice the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and, to the extent practicable, method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of a notice under this Section 6.4(a) within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in such notice from the Indemnitee shall be conclusively determined to be a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII.

(b) Third Party Claims. If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (which notice obligation may be satisfied by providing copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim), and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within the earlier of (x) forty-five (45) days or (y) 2 Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable response period under such Third Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. For all purposes of this Section 6.4(b), each Party shall be deemed to have notice of the matters set forth on Schedule 1.1(34)(ix).

(c) Other than in the case of (i) Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein or (ii) indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, and if it does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 6.5 at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is an allegation of a criminal violation or (y) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee. In connection with the Indemnifying Party’s defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the Indemnitee’s business or operations, such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions to such defense or to its liability therefor, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to this Section 6.4(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article VI shall be binding on the Indemnified Party, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnified Party of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the period specified in this Section 6.4, such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (c) above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.6, or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article VI against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article VI shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Section 6.4, the terms of the Ancillary Agreement will govern.

(g) The provisions of this Article VI shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claims brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement. There shall be no requirement under this Section 6.4 to give a notice with respect to any Third Party Claim that exists as of the Effective Time. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions (regardless of the parties to the Actions) may be partly DuPont Liabilities and partly Chemours Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII. Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a Third Party Claim is being resolved.

Section 6.5 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.

(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.5(a) shall derogate from any Party’s rights to control the defense of any Action in accordance with Section 6.4

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Action (i) by a Governmental Entity against Chemours relating to matters involving anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, export control and similar laws, where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Action occurred prior to the Effective Time or (ii) where the resolution of such Action by order, judgment, settlement or otherwise, could include any condition, limitation or other stipulation that could, in the reasonable judgment of DuPont, adversely impact the conduct of the DuPont Retained Businesses or result in an adverse change to DuPont at shared locations where Chemours and DuPont have operating agreements, governmental permits or joint obligations to a Governmental Entity with interdependencies or at non-shared locations where the resolution of such Action may have precedential adverse effect on then current DuPont operating agreements, governmental permits or independent obligations to a Governmental Entity, DuPont shall have, at DuPont’s expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such Action, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by Chemours to any Third Party involved in such Action (including any Governmental Entity), to the extent that DuPont’s participation does not affect any privilege in a material and adverse manner; provided that to the extent that any such action requires the submission by Chemours of any content relating to any current or former officer or director of DuPont, such content will only be submitted in a form approved by DuPont in its reasonable discretion. With regard to the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), DuPont shall have a right to consent to any compromise or settlement related thereto.

(c) Each of DuPont and Chemours agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 6.6 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred.

Section 6.7 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any recovery by any Indemnified Party for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI shall be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss such proceeds shall be reduced by the present value, based on that Party’s then cost of short term borrowing of future premium increases known at such time) and (ii) net of any proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee from any third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article VI to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VI shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) Any Indemnity Payment shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments corresponding to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, the Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

(c) Insurers and Other Third Parties Not Relieved. The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other Third Party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 6.8 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice with respect to any Third Party Claims in accordance with Section 6.4(b)) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 6.8, contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Chemours and each other member of the Chemours Group, on the one hand, and DuPont and each other member of the DuPont Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. With respect to any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or related to information contained in the Distribution Disclosure Documents or other securities law filing, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the Chemours Business of a member of the Chemours Group, on the one hand, or the DuPont Business or a member of the DuPont Group, on the other hand.

Section 6.9 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a) The indemnity agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article VI shall survive the Distribution.

(b) The rights and obligations of any member of the DuPont Group or any member of the Chemours Group, in each case, under this Article VI shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities, with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss of any Indemnitee related to such Assets, businesses or Liabilities and (ii) except for any indemnification obligations of any Chemours Indemnitee (other than Chemours) that is the subject of a Disposition Event, any merger, consolidation, business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.10 Environmental Matters.

(a) Exchange of Information. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each of DuPont and Chemours agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, at any time before, on, or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefore, reasonable access to any non-privileged information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group and reasonable access to its employees to the extent that (i) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, specific alleged Environmental Liabilities, including the requesting party’s alleged or potential link to environmental contamination at an Off-Site Location or real property that was allegedly owned or operated by the DuPont Group and any operating group, business unit, division, Subsidiary, line of business or investment of DuPont or any of its Subsidiaries (including any member of the Chemours Group) prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, the impact that any alleged Environmental Liability could have on the operations, activities or liability exposure of the requesting party; and (iii) the information and access to employees can be provided without significant disruption to the Group’s business or operations.

(b) Substitution.

(i) Chemours shall use its best efforts to obtain any consents, transfers, assignments, assumptions, waivers, or other legal instruments necessary to cause Chemours or the appropriate subsidiary of Chemours to be fully substituted for DuPont or other member of the DuPont Group with respect to: (i) any order, decree, judgment, agreement or Action with respect to Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities that are in effect as of the Effective Time; or (ii) Environmental Permits, financial assurance obligations or instruments, or other environmental approvals or filings associated with the Chemours Assets. Chemours shall inform the applicable Governmental Entity about its assumption of the Environmental Liabilities associated with the matters listed on Section 6.10(b) and request that the Governmental Entities direct all communications, requirements, notifications and/or official letters related to such matters to Chemours. DuPont shall use its best efforts to provide necessary assistance or signatures to Chemours to achieve the purposes of this section.

(ii) Until such time as Chemours and DuPont complete the substitutions outlined in Section 6.10(b)(i) above, Chemours shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, including all reporting obligations, and the terms and conditions of all orders, decrees, judgments, agreements, actions, Environmental Permits, financial assurances, obligations, instruments or other environmental approvals or filings that remain in DuPont’s name relating to the Chemours Assets and the Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities

(c) Responsibility for Management of Certain Environmental Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following provisions shall govern the management and administration of the specified Remediation Liabilities and Environmental Compliance Liabilities referred to therein:

(i) Remediation Liabilities at DuPont Group Real Property. With respect to Remediation Liabilities at DuPont Group Real Property that are, in whole or in part, Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities, DuPont shall be responsible for the management and control of any such Remediation, including, without limitation, the defense of any Action related to such matter and the selection of the remedial action; provided, that DuPont shall (x) reasonably take into account any ongoing Chemours operations at such property in the performance of the Remediation and shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, select remedies and implement the remedial action in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with Chemours’ operations and (y) select cost effective remedies that achieve compliance with applicable Environmental Law and are protective of the health and safety of employees and other Persons, taking into account the operational needs of DuPont, Chemours and any other tenants or operators at said property. DuPont shall provide Chemours with copies of all material reports and correspondence relating to such Remediation Liabilities; will give Chemours copies of material draft plans and reports and provide Chemours with a reasonable opportunity to comment on said plans and reports prior to submission to third parties, including Governmental Entities, taking into account any deadlines for the submission of such plans and reports; and will be available to meet with representatives of Chemours to discuss the Remediation. The foregoing requirements shall be in addition to any other specific obligations with respect to the performance of Remediation required of DuPont that is set forth in any lease or similar site-specific agreement between DuPont and Chemours. For purposes of clarification and subject to the limitations imposed by this subsection, DuPont’s management and implementation of any such Remediation shall not relieve Chemours of its responsibility for any Indemnifiable Losses of DuPont that result from any Chemours Liabilities.

(ii) Remediation Liabilities at Chemours Group Landlord Property. With respect to Remediation Liabilities at Chemours Group Landlord Properties that are Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities, Chemours shall be responsible for the management and control of any such Remediation, including any Remediation that is required that is within the premises leased by DuPont. Chemours’ management and control of any Remediation includes, without limitation, the defense of any Action related to such matter and the selection of the remedial action except to the extent that such Action includes an allegation of criminal liability. Chemours shall reasonably take into account any ongoing DuPont operations at the said property in the performance of the Remediation and shall select remedies and implement the remedial action in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with DuPont’s operations. With respect to any Remediation that impacts or could impact premises leased by DuPont or DuPont’s operations, Chemours shall provide DuPont with copies of all material reports and correspondence relating to such Remediation; will give DuPont copies of material draft plans and reports and provide DuPont with a reasonable opportunity to comment on said plans and reports prior to submission to third parties, including Governmental Entities, taking into account any deadlines for the submission of such plans and reports; will allow DuPont to participate in meetings and other communications with other Persons, including Governmental Entities; and will be available to meet with representatives of DuPont to discuss the Remediation. The foregoing requirements shall be in addition to any other specific obligations with respect to the performance of Remediation required of Chemours that is set forth in any lease or similar site-specific agreement between DuPont and the Chemours Group.

(iii) Environmental Compliance Liabilities. DuPont shall be responsible for the management and control of Environmental Compliance Liabilities that are DuPont Retained Liabilities and Chemours shall be responsible for the management and control of Environmental Compliance Liabilities that are Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities. Section 6.5 of this Agreement shall apply to Environmental Compliance Liabilities that implicate both Parties, provided, that each Party shall make the final determination with respect to corrective actions to be taken that relate to their respective operations, subject to any approvals or agreements that may be required with other Persons, including Governmental Entities, so long as such corrective action does not impact or interfere with the operations of the other Party; provided that if such action does so impact or interfere and the Parties cannot reach an agreement thereto, such final determination with respect to corrective actions will be subject to the dispute resolution mechanics with regard to environmental proceedings in Article VIII.

ARTICLE VII

PRESERVATION OF RECORDS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVILEGE

Section 7.1 Preservation of Corporate Records.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by any Ancillary Agreement, a Party providing Records or access to Information to another Party under this Article VII shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of such Party or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service with respect to the foregoing), as are reasonably incurred in providing such Records or access to Information.

(b) Except as otherwise required or agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, with regard to any Information referenced in Section 7.3, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at such parties sole cost and expense, to retain, until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the date on which such Information is no longer required to be retained pursuant to DuPont’s applicable record retention policy as in effect immediately prior to the Distribution, including, without limitation, pursuant to any “Litigation Hold” issued by DuPont or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Distribution, (ii) the concluding date of any period as may be required by any applicable Law, (iii) the concluding date of any period during which such Information relates to a pending or threatened Action which is known to the members of the DuPont Group or Chemours Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire, and (iv) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Information could interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Entity which is known to the members of the DuPont Group or Chemours Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire; provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Distribution, clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the DuPont Group or Chemours Group, as applicable, is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “Litigation Hold” by the other Party of the relevant pending or threatened Action. The parties hereto agree that upon written request from the other that certain Information relating to the Chemours Business, the Retained Businesses or the transactions contemplated hereby be retained in connection with an Action, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting party.

(c) DuPont and Chemours intend that any transfer of Information that would otherwise be within the attorney-client or attorney work product privileges shall not operate as a waiver of any potentially applicable privilege.

Section 7.2 Financial Statements and Accounting. Each Party agrees to provide the following reasonable assistance and, subject to Section 7.6, reasonable access to its properties, Records, other Information and personnel set forth in this Section 7.2, from the Effective Time until the completion of each Party’s audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, (i) in connection with the preparation and audit of each Party’s quarterly and annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, and the filing of such financial statements and the audit of each Party’s internal controls over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof and management’s assessment of each Party’s disclosure controls and procedures, if required, and (ii) to the extent reasonably necessary to respond (and for the limited purpose of responding) to any written request or official comment from a Governmental Entity, such as in connection with responding to a comment letter from the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Party changes its independent auditors within one (1) years following the Distribution Date, then such Party may request reasonable access on the terms set forth in this Section 7.2 for a period of up to one hundred and eighty (180) days from such change. Without limiting the foregoing and from the Effective Time until the completion of each Party’s audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, each Party agrees as follows:

(a) Access to Personnel and Records. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements and subject to Section 7.6, each Party shall authorize and request its respective auditors to make reasonably available to the other Party’s auditors (the “Other Party’s Auditors”) both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual audits of such audited Party (each Party with respect to its own audit, the “Audited Party”) and work papers related to the annual audits of such Audited Party (subject to the execution of any reasonable and customary access letters that such Audited Party’s auditors may require in connection with the review of such work papers by such Other Party’s Auditors), in all cases within a reasonable time prior to such Audited Party’s auditors’ opinion date, so that the Other Party’s Auditors are able to perform the procedures they reasonably consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Audited Party’s auditors as it relates to their auditors’ report on such other Party’s financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable such other Party to meet its timetable for the filing of its annual financial statements with the Commission.

(b) Current, Quarterly and Annual Reports. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the earlier of public dissemination or filing with the Commission, each Party shall deliver to the other Party, a reasonably complete draft of any earnings news release, any filing with the Commission containing financial statements, including, but not limited to current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K or any other annual report purporting to fulfill the requirements of 17 CFR 240-14c-3, provided, further, that, to the extent Chemours’ 2016 proxy statement discusses DuPont compensation programs, Chemours shall substantially conform its 2016 proxy statement, as the case may be, to be filed with the Commission to DuPont’s proxy statement for the applicable period. Each Party shall notify the other Party, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware thereof, of any material accounting differences between the financial statements to be included in such Party’s annual report on Form 10-K and the pro-forma financial statements included, as applicable, in the Form 10 or the Form 8-K to be filed by DuPont with the Commission on or about the time of the Distribution. If any such differences are notified by any Party, the Parties shall confer and/or meet as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and in any event prior to the filing of any Annual Report, to consult with each other in respect of such differences and the effects thereof on the Parties’ applicable Annual Reports.

(c) Nothing in this Article VII shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary Information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required under this Section 7.2 to disclose any such Information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s written consent to the disclosure of such Information.

(d) The Parties acknowledge that Information provided under this Section 7.2 may constitute material, nonpublic information, and trading in the securities of a Party (or the securities of its affiliates, subsidiaries or partners) while in possession of such material, nonpublic material information may constitute a violation of the U.S. federal securities laws.

Section 7.3 Provision of Corporate Records. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article VI (in which event the provisions of such Article VI shall govern) or for matters related to provision of Tax Records (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern) and subject to appropriate restrictions for Privileged Information or Confidential Information:

(a) After the Effective Time, and subject to compliance with the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, upon the prior written reasonable request by, and at the expense of, Chemours for specific and identified Information:

(ii) that (x) is required by Chemours with regard to reasonable compliance with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on Chemours (including under applicable securities laws) by a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over Chemours, or (y) is for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation, Action or other similar requirements, as applicable, DuPont shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Chemours has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of DuPont or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of Chemours; provided that, to the extent any originals are delivered to Chemours pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Chemours shall, at its own expense, return them to DuPont within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided further that, in the event that DuPont, in its sole discretion, determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information (including information requested under Section 7.2) would violate any Law or Contract with a Third Party or waive any attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, DuPont shall not be obligated to provide such Information requested by Chemours; or

(b) Solely with respect to the Legacy Engineering Drawings from DuPont Corporate Engineering Drawing Collection that are required by Chemours to maintain and operate one or more Chemours Manufacturing Assets, DuPont shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Chemours has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of DuPont or any of its Affiliates, but only to the extent such items are so required and are not already in the possession or control of Chemours or its Affiliates; provided that, to the extent any originals are delivered to Chemours or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Chemours shall, at its own expense, return them to DuPont within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided further that, in the event that DuPont, in its sole discretion, determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information (including information requested under Section 7.2) would violate any Law or Contract with a Third Party or waive any attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, DuPont shall not be obligated to provide such Information requested by Chemours.

At all times from and after the Effective Time, each of DuPont and Chemours shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and agents (taking into account the business demands of such individuals) as witnesses to the extent that (i) such Persons may reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for claims, demands or Actions in which one or more members of one Group is adverse to one or more members of the other Group) and (ii) there is no conflict in the Action between the requesting Party and the other Party. A Party providing a witness to the other Party under this Section 7.4 shall be entitled to receive from the recipient of such witness services, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as witnesses), as may be reasonably incurred and properly paid under applicable Law.

Section 7.5 Reimbursement; Other Matters. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, a Party providing Information or access to Information to the other Party under this Article VII shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of such Party or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service with respect to the foregoing), as may be reasonably incurred in providing such Information or access to such Information.

Section 7.6 Confidentiality.

(a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreements, each of DuPont and Chemours shall hold, and shall cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence (and not to disclose or release or, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, use, including for any ongoing or future commercial purpose, without the prior written consent of the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates (which may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, except where disclosure is required by applicable Law)), any and all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to the other Party or its Affiliates; provided that each Party may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to its respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Information or auditing and other non-commercial purposes and are informed of the obligation to hold such Information confidential and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if any Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries is required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule or is advised by outside counsel in connection with a proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity that it is advisable to do so, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against any other Party or in respect of claims by one Party against the other Party brought in a proceeding, (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements in connection with any regulatory filings or Tax Returns, (v) as necessary for a Party to enforce its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.3) or an Ancillary Agreement, (vi) to Governmental Entities in accordance with applicable procurement regulations and contract requirements or (vii) to other Persons in connection with their evaluation of, and negotiating and consummating, a potential strategic transaction, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection therewith, provided an appropriate and customary confidentiality agreement has been entered into with the Person receiving such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a Third Party pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permissible by Law) the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such affected Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Party will cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party which faces the disclosure requirement shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Confidential Information.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary Information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party while such Party and/or members of its Group were part of the DuPont Group. Each Party shall comply, and shall cause the other members of its Group to comply, and shall cause its and their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors (or potential buyers) to comply, with all terms and conditions of any such third-party agreements entered into prior to the Effective Time, with respect to any confidential and proprietary Information of third parties to which it or any other member of its Group has had access.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise at least the same degree of care that applies to DuPont’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any Contract between each Party or its Subsidiaries and their respective employees shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Confidential Information of any Party in the possession of and used by any other Party as of the Effective Time may continue to be used by such Party in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of the Chemours Business (in the case of the Chemours Group) or the DuPont Business (in the case of the DuPont Group); provided that such Confidential Information may only be used by such Party and its officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors in the specific manner and for the specific purposes for which it is used as of the date of this Agreement; and may only be shared with additional officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors of such Party on a need-to-know basis exclusively with regard to such specified use; provided, further that such Confidential Information may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of Section 7.6(a).

(d) The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 7.6 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.6, (i) the disclosure and sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed solely by Section 7.7, and (ii) Information that is subject to any confidentiality provision or other disclosure restriction in any Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by the terms of such Ancillary Agreement.

Section 7.7 Privilege Matters.

(a) Pre-Distribution Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the DuPont Group and the Chemours Group, and that each of the members of the DuPont Group and the Chemours Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-distribution services for the purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities, or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Law, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege, and protection under the work-product doctrine (“Privilege”). The Parties shall have a shared Privilege with respect to all Information subject to Privilege (“Privileged Information”) which relates to such pre-distribution services. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 7.7 includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Party (or any member of such Party’s respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel.

(b) Post-Separation Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time to each of DuPont and Chemours. The Parties further recognize that certain of such post-separation services will be rendered solely for the benefit of DuPont or Chemours, as the case may be, while other such post-separation services may be rendered with respect to claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both DuPont and Chemours. With respect to such post-separation services and related Privileged Information, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) All Privileged Information relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both DuPont and Chemours shall be subject to a shared Privilege among the Parties involved in the claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters at issue; and

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.7(b)(i), Privileged Information relating to post-separation services provided solely to one of DuPont or Chemours shall not be deemed shared between the Parties, provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict the right or authority of the Parties (x) to enter into any further agreement, not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, concerning the sharing of Privileged Information or (y) otherwise to share Privileged Information without waiving any Privilege which could be asserted under applicable Law.

(c) The Parties agree as follows regarding all Privileged Information with respect to which the Parties shall have a shared Privilege under Section 7.7(a) or (b):

(i) Subject to Section 7.7(c)(iii) and (iv), no Party may waive, nor allege or purport to waive, any Privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared Privilege, without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within fifteen (15) days after written notice by the requesting Party to the Party whose consent is sought;

(ii) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a Privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold consent to waive for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests;

(iii) If, within fifteen (15) days of receipt by the requesting Party of written objection, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution to any dispute regarding whether a Privilege should be waived, and the requesting Party determines that a Privilege should nonetheless be waived to protect or advance its interest, the requesting Party shall provide the objecting Party fifteen (15) days written notice prior to effecting such waiver. Each Party specifically agrees that failure within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice to commence proceedings in accordance with Section 8.2 to enjoin such disclosure under applicable Law shall be deemed full and effective consent to such disclosure, and the Party’s agree that any such Privilege shall not be waived by either party under the final determination of such dispute in accordance with Section 8.2; and

(iv) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a Privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with respect to third parties.

(d) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of DuPont or Chemours as set forth in Section 7.6 and this Section 7.7, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Sections 6.5, 7.2 and 7.3 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Sections 6.5 and 7.4 hereof, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 6.5 hereof, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 7.8 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to any Party with respect to any such Information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Section 7.9 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VII are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 8.1 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 the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements 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 8.2 hereof, 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 or any Ancillary 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 8.2 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. With respect to any disputes relating to Environmental Liabilities, the arbitrators shall be attorneys with experience in Environmental Laws or technical or scientific experts whose work relates to environmental science, remediation or pollution control issues, as appropriate to the specific 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 8.2(e) below, 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 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 8.3 below. 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) either 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 or any Ancillary 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; provided that, to the extent any such dispute arises out of or relates to any Chemours Assumed Environmental Liabilities described in (x) Section 1.1(19)(i) or (y) Section 1.1(19)(ii) (but only to the extent such liabilities are determined to be “primarily associated” with Chemours in accordance therewith), then all costs borne by the prevailing party (including those related to expert witnesses) shall be paid by the other party.

(g) Arbitration under this Article VIII 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 8.3 Specific Performance. From and after the Distribution, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party or Parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII (including for the avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that, from and after the Distribution, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Indemnifiable Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 8.4 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 8.4 (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 8.5 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 and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 8.6 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.

ARTICLE IX

INSURANCE

Section 9.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) Chemours acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Effective Time, neither Chemours nor any member of the Chemours Group shall have any rights to or under any Policies of DuPont, including the Company Policies, other than any insurance policies acquired prior to the Effective Time directly by and in the name of Chemours or a member of the Chemours Group or as expressly provided in Section 6.7 or this Article IX.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a), from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liability accrued and/or incurred by Chemours or its predecessors prior to the Effective Time relating to the matters set forth on Schedule 9.1(b), DuPont shall, at its sole discretion, provide Chemours with access to, and, if and to the extent determined by DuPont in its sole discretion, Chemours and DuPont may jointly make claims under, Company Policies if and solely to the extent that the terms of such policies provide for such coverage to Chemours or its predecessors with respect to any Chemours Liabilities accrued and/or incurred prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) Chemours shall inform DuPont of any potential claim under any of the Company Policies with regard to any Chemours Liability set forth on Schedule 9.1(b) and DuPont shall determine whether and at what time to report any such claims under such Company Policies directly to the applicable insurance company, and to submit a claim for coverage thereunder, and DuPont shall provide a copy of all such claim reports and submissions to Chemours; provided, that with respect to any such claims, Chemours shall provide DuPont with the information regarding the claims and provide recommendations with regard to the reporting and submission of such claims, and DuPont shall consult with Chemours with regard to the timing thereof;

(ii) If and to the extent that Chemours is the sole entity recovering insurance proceeds under one or more of the Company Policies in respect of a particular claim for coverage, Chemours shall exclusively bear and be responsible for (and DuPont shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse Chemours for) and pay the applicable insurers as required under the applicable Company Policies for any and all costs as a result of having access to, or making claims under, such Policies, including any amounts of deductibles and self-insured retention associated with such claims, claim handling and administrative costs, Taxes, surcharges, state assessments, reinsurance costs, and other related costs, relating to all open, closed, re-opened claims covered by the applicable Policies, whether such claims are made by Chemours, its employees or third parties, and Chemours shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse DuPont for any such amounts incurred by DuPont to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by Chemours under, any Company Policies provided pursuant to this Section 9.1. If DuPont and Chemours jointly make a claim for coverage under the Company Policies for amounts that have been or may in the future be incurred partially by DuPont and partially by Chemours, any insurance recovery resulting therefrom will first be allocated to reimburse DuPont and/or Chemours for their respective costs, legal and consulting fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in pursuing such insurance recovery, with the remaining net proceeds from the insurance recovery to be allocated as between DuPont and Chemours in a manner to be negotiated in good faith by DuPont and Chemours at or near the time of such recovery; provided that if the Parties cannot agree to an allocation within twenty (20) Business Days of the grant, settlement or other agreement, either Party may submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in Section 8.2;

(iii) Chemours shall exclusively bear (and DuPont shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse Chemours for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts, incurred from and after the Effective Time, of all such claims pursued by Chemours under the Company Policies as provided for in this Section 9.1(b); and

(iv) in connection with making any joint claim under any Company Policies pursuant to this Section 9.1(b), DuPont shall control the administration of all such claims, including the timing of any assertion and pursuit of coverage, and Chemours shall not take any action that would be reasonably likely to: (A) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between DuPont and the applicable insurance company; (B) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage to DuPont or Chemours, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by DuPont under the applicable Company Policies; (C) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of DuPont under the applicable Company Policies or (D) otherwise compromise or impair DuPont’s ability to enforce its rights with respect to any indemnification under or arising out of this Agreement, and DuPont shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cause Chemours to desist from any action that DuPont determines, in its sole discretion, would compromise or impair DuPont’s rights in accordance with this clause (D).

At all times, DuPont and Chemours shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.6, cooperate with reasonable requests for information by the other Party or the insurance companies regarding any such insurance policy claim.

(c) Any payments, costs and adjustments required pursuant to Section 9.1(b) shall be billed by DuPont to Chemours on a monthly basis and Chemours shall pay such billed payments, costs and adjustments to DuPont within sixty (60) days from receipt of invoice. If DuPont incurs costs to enforce Chemours’ obligations under this Section 9.1, Chemours agrees to indemnify DuPont for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(d) At the Effective Time, Chemours shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with Chemours’ statutory obligations and the Policies that Chemours has agreed to enter into at or prior to the Effective Time as set forth on Schedule 9.1(e).

(e) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance in its entirety, nor is it considered to be itself a contract of insurance, and further this Agreement shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of DuPont under or with respect to any of the Company Policies and programs or any other contract or policy of insurance, and DuPont reserves all of its rights under such Policies.

(f) DuPont shall not be liable to Chemours for claims not reimbursed by insurers for any reason not within the control of DuPont, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, exhaustion of aggregates, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance carrier, Company Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by DuPont or any defect in such claim or its processing.

(g) In the event that Insured Claims of more than one Party exist relating to the same occurrence, the relevant Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. Nothing in this Section 9.1(g) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those obligations under Article VI, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(h) In the event of any Action by any Party (or both of the Parties) to recover or obtain insurance proceeds, or to defend against any Action by an insurance carrier to deny any Policy benefits, both Parties may join in any such Action and be represented by joint counsel and both Parties shall waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to conduct any such Action. Nothing in this Section 9.1(h) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created under Article VI of this Agreement or otherwise, by operation of Law, or otherwise.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.1, to the extent DuPont has entered into or agrees to enter into, whether on its own or with respect to the any arrangement provided for under this Section 9.1, any settlement agreement or other arrangement with any insurance provider regarding coverage under any Company Policy that provides for any limitation of coverage or release of such insurance provider with regard to any coverage thereunder, whether in whole or in part (collectively, the “Released Insurance Matters”), Chemours agrees that it shall (i) abide by the terms of and, to the extent required, consent to, any such settlement or arrangement relating to the Released Insurance Matters as a condition to receiving any coverage under any Company Policy related thereto, (ii) have no rights to any such coverage under the Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters and (iii) make no claims under any Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters.

Section 9.2 Certain Matters Relating to DuPont’s Organizational Documents. For a period of six (6) years from the Distribution Date, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of DuPont shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification of directors and officers than are set forth in such Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of DuPont immediately before the Effective Time, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Distribution Date in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were indemnified under such Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, unless such amendment, repeal, or other modification shall be required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law or approved by DuPont’s shareholders.

Section 9.3 Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. DuPont shall, from and after the Distribution Date to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy substantially similar to the Company Policy identified as Directors & Officers Liability Insurance on Schedule 1.1(40), but in any event providing the same level of coverage for persons covered by such insurance policy who are, after the Effective Time, officers or directors of Chemours, whether such person is a current or former insured person under the policy; provided that such Company Policy shall only be required to provide coverage with respect to actions taken by such person prior to the Effective Time and DuPont shall have no obligation to provide any insurance coverage for any actions taken by such party following the Effective Time. The provisions of this Section 9.3 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the persons covered by the Company Policy referenced in the preceding sentence.

Section 10.8 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party (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.

In the event of such termination, no Party shall have any liability of any kind to the other Party or any other Person. After the Effective Time, this Agreement may not be terminated, modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by DuPont and Chemours.

Section 10.11 Payment Terms.

(a) Except as set forth in Article VI or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount to be paid or reimbursed by a Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, to the other Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the other hand, under this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder within sixty (60) days after presentation of an invoice or a written demand therefor and setting forth, or accompanied by, reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such amount.

(b) Except as set forth in Article VI or as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amount billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that is not paid within sixty (60) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR, from time to time in effect, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment.

(c) Without the consent of the party receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by either DuPont or Chemours under this Agreement shall be made in US Dollars. Except as expressly provided herein, any amount which is not expressed in US Dollars shall be converted into US Dollars by using the exchange rate published on Bloomberg at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard time (EST) on the day before the relevant date or in the Wall Street Journal on such date if not so published on Bloomberg. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event that any indemnification payment required to be made hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement may be denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, the amount of such payment shall be converted into US Dollars on the date in which notice of the claim is given to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 10.12 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party at and after the Effective Time, to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of the applicable Party.

Section 10.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) as provided in Article VI relating to Indemnitees and for the release under Section 6.1 of any Person provided therein, (ii) as provided in Section 9.3 relating to the directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents provided therein and (iii) as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 10.14 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.15 Exhibits and Schedules.

(a) The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibits or Schedules constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the DuPont Group or the Chemours Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member of the DuPont Group or the Chemours Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibit or Schedule is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

(b) Subject to the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Party shall be entitled to update the Schedules from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time.

Section 10.16 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Section 10.17 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 and therein 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.

Section 10.18 Public Announcements. From and after the Effective Time, DuPont and Chemours shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, that portion of any press release or other public statements that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system; (b) for disclosures made that are substantially consistent with disclosure contained in any Distribution Disclosure Document, (c) as otherwise set forth on Schedule 10.18, or (d) as may pertain to disputes between one Party or any member of its Group, on one hand, and the other Party or any member of its Group, on the other hand.

Section 10.19 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 10.20 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to the rights, entitlements, obligations and recoveries that may arise out of one or more of the following Sections: Section 6.2; Section 6.3; and Section 6.4).

Section 10.21 Tax Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement or otherwise agreed to among the Parties, for U.S. federal Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 10.11) by: (i) Chemours to DuPont shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Chemours to DuPont with respect to stock of Chemours occurring immediately before the Distribution; or (ii) DuPont to Chemours shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution by DuPont to Chemours with respect to its stock occurring immediately before the Distribution; and in each case, no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge.

Section 10.22 No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 10.23 No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between DuPont and Chemours and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any Third Party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont or Chemours.
