Tax-Free Status if the transaction in question did not occur. 
 “U.S. Property Taxes” means all real property, personal
property or other property Taxes imposed by the United States, by any State of the United States, or by any political subdivision of the foregoing.

 (c)
Reporting of Separation Transactions. The Tax treatment of the Separation Transactions reported on any Tax Return shall be consistent with the treatment thereof in the Ruling Requests and the Tax Opinions/Rulings, taking into account the
jurisdiction in 

  
 13 








 
which such Tax Returns are filed, unless there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment. Such treatment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the allocation between DuPont and Chemours of
any deductions arising from the Debt-for-Debt Exchange) reported on any Tax Return for which Chemours is the Responsible Company shall be consistent with that on any Tax Return filed or to be filed by DuPont or any member of the DuPont Group or
caused or to be caused to be filed by DuPont, unless there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment. In the event that a Company shall determine that there is no reasonable basis for the Tax treatment described in either of the preceding two

required under this paragraph sufficiently in advance of the due date for filing of such Tax Return to provide the requesting party with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Return and (ii) use reasonable efforts to have
such Tax Return modified before filing, taking into account the person responsible for payment of the Tax (if any) reported on such Tax Return and whether the amount of Tax liability allocable to the requesting party with respect to such Tax Return
is material. The Companies shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of such Tax Return. 
 (b)
Material Tax Returns. For purposes of Section 3.06(a), a Tax Return is “material” if it could reasonably be expected to reflect (A) Tax liability equal to or in excess of $1 million, (B) a credit or credits equal

 Section 3.08 Apportionment of Tax Attributes. DuPont may in good faith advise
Chemours in writing of the amount, if any, of any Tax Attributes, which DuPont determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be allocated or apportioned to the Chemours Group under applicable law, or may provide Chemours relevant
information for making such determination on an as-is basis, provided that this Section 3.08 shall not be construed as obligating DuPont to undertake any such determination or provide any such information. For the avoidance of
doubt, DuPont makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any such determination or information. Chemours and all members of the Chemours Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with any such determination.
Chemours agrees that it shall not dispute DuPont’s allocation or apportionment of Tax Attributes. Chemours may request that DuPont undertake a determination of the portion, if any, of any particular Tax Attribute to be allocated or apportioned
to the Chemours Group under applicable law; to the extent that DuPont determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to undertake such determination, or does not otherwise advise Chemours of its intention to undertake such determination within
20 Business Days of the receipt of such request, Chemours shall be permitted to undertake such determination at its own cost and expense and shall notify DuPont of its determination, which determination shall not be binding upon DuPont.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the avoidance of doubt, DuPont shall bear no liability to Chemours for determinations made by DuPont pursuant to this Section 3.08 if any such determination shall be found or
asserted to be inaccurate.

date (including extensions) for filing any such Tax Return (excluding any Tax Return with respect to payment of estimated Taxes or Taxes due with a request for extension of time to file) or (ii) the date on which such Tax Return is filed, if
DuPont is the Responsible Company, then Chemours shall pay to DuPont the amount allocable to the Chemours Group under the provisions of Section 2, and if Chemours is the Responsible Company, then DuPont shall pay to Chemours the amount
allocable to the DuPont Group under the provisions of Section 2, in each case, plus interest computed at the Prime Rate on the amount of the payment based on the number of days from the earlier of (i) the due date of the Tax Return
(including extensions) or (ii) the date on which such Tax Return is filed, to the date of payment. 

  
 15 








 (c) Adjustments Resulting in Underpayments. In the case of any adjustment pursuant to a
Final Determination with respect to any such Tax Return, the Responsible Company shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority when due any additional Tax due with respect to such Return required to be paid as a result of such adjustment pursuant to a
Final Determination. The Responsible Company shall compute the amount attributable to the Chemours Group in accordance with Section 2 and Chemours shall pay to DuPont any amount due DuPont (or DuPont shall pay Chemours any amount due

Tax Authority a Tax that another Company (the “Required Party”) is liable for under this Agreement, the Required Party shall reimburse the Payor within 20 Business Days of delivery by the Payor to the Required Party of an invoice
for the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. The reimbursement shall include interest on the Tax payment computed at the Prime
Rate based on the number of days from the date of the payment to the Tax Authority to the date of reimbursement under this Section 4.03. 

(b) All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be made by DuPont directly to Chemours and by Chemours directly to DuPont;
provided, however, that if the Companies mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the DuPont Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the Chemours Group, on
the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 12.01. 

Section 5. Tax Refunds and Transfer Pricing Adjustments. 

Section 5.01 Tax Refunds. DuPont shall be entitled to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax
Authority) of Taxes for which DuPont is liable hereunder, Chemours shall be entitled (subject to the limitations provided in Section 3.07) to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which

(including any Tax Benefit made allowable as a result of the payment). The amount of a Tax Benefit shall be calculated by: (x) using the highest relevant marginal Tax rates in effect at the time of the Final Determination; (y) assuming the
relevant Chemours Group member will be liable for such Taxes at such rate and has no Tax Attributes at the time of the Final Determination; and (z) assuming that any such Tax Benefit is used at the earliest date allowable by applicable law. The
present value referred to in the preceding sentence shall be determined using a discount rate equal to the mid-term applicable federal rate in effect at the time of the Final Determination. 

Section 6. Tax-Free Status. 

Section 6.01 Restrictions on Chemours. 

(a) Chemours agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or permit any Chemours Affiliate, as the case may be, to take or fail to

or fail to take, or permit any Chemours Affiliate, as the case may be, to take or fail to take, any action which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect (A) the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution, the

for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code and any such other applicable Tax Law, (iv) not engage in any transaction or permit a Chemours Affiliate to engage in any transaction that would result in a Chemours Affiliate described in
clause (iii) hereof ceasing to be a company engaged in the relevant Active Trade or Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) or such other applicable Tax Law, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code for

percentages to be measured based on fair market value as of the initial Distribution Date), (iv) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through a Chemours Affiliate) any Chemours stock, or rights to acquire stock, except to the extent such

or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of Chemours Capital Stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one class of Chemours Capital Stock into another class of

which in the aggregate (and taking into account any other transactions described in this subparagraph (d)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire
directly or indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in Chemours or otherwise jeopardize the Tax-Free Status, unless prior to taking any such action set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi),
(A) Chemours shall have requested that DuPont obtain a Ruling in accordance with Section 6.04(b) and (d) of this Agreement to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status and DuPont shall have
received such a Ruling in form and substance satisfactory to DuPont in its sole and absolute discretion, or (B) Chemours shall provide DuPont with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance satisfactory to DuPont in its sole and absolute
discretion (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, DuPont may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a basis for the opinion and DuPont may
determine that no opinion would be acceptable to DuPont) or (C) DuPont shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. DuPont shall not be required to take any action related to obtaining a Ruling unless and
until Chemours has provided to DuPont an opinion reasonably acceptable to DuPont from a nationally recognized Tax Advisor to the effect that the outcome of the ruling process should be favorable. 

  
 18 








 (d) Certain Issuances of Chemours Capital Stock. If Chemours proposes to enter into any
Section 6.01(d) Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Chemours has the right to prohibit any Section 6.01(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 6.01(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during
the period from the date hereof until the first Business Day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, Chemours shall provide DuPont, no later than ten Business Days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to the
Section 6.01(d) Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of Chemours Capital Stock to be issued in such transaction) and a certificate of the Board of Directors of Chemours to the
effect that the Section 6.01(d) Acquisition Transaction is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction or any other transaction to which the requirements of Section 6.01(c) apply (a “Board Certificate”). 

(e) Chemours Internal Restructuring. Chemours shall not engage in, cause or permit any internal restructuring (including by making or
revoking any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3) involving a member of the Chemours Group or any contribution, sale or other transfer of any of the assets directly or indirectly contributed to Chemours as described in the
Separation Agreement, to Chemours or any of its Affiliates, apart from sales in the ordinary course of business (any such action, an “Internal Restructuring”) during or with respect to any Tax Period (or portion thereof) ending on
or prior to the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date unless Chemours shall first consult with DuPont regarding any such proposed actions reasonably in advance of taking any such proposed actions and consider in good faith any comments from
DuPont relating thereto. 
 (f) Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness. Chemours shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) pre-pay, pay down,
redeem, retire or otherwise acquire, however effected including pursuant to the terms thereof, any of the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness prior to their stated maturity (or permit any member of the Chemours Group to take any such action), excluding, for
these purposes, the exchange, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, of the Transfer Restricted Securities for Exchange Securities, each as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) take or permit to be taken any action at
any time, including, without limitation, any modification to the terms of the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness that could jeopardize, directly or indirectly, the qualification, in whole or part, of any of the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness as
“securities” within the meaning of Section 361(a) of the Code (or permit any member of the Chemours Group to take or permit to be taken any such action), unless prior to taking any such action set forth in the foregoing clauses
(i) or (ii), (A) Chemours shall have requested that DuPont obtain a Ruling in accordance with Section 6.04(b) and (d) of this Agreement to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status and
DuPont shall have received such a Ruling in form and substance satisfactory to DuPont in its sole and absolute discretion, (B) Chemours shall provide DuPont with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance satisfactory to DuPont in its
sole and absolute discretion (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, DuPont may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a basis for the opinion
and DuPont may determine that no opinion would be acceptable to DuPont), or (C) DuPont shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to and without


  
 19 








 
limiting or modifying Chemours’ indemnification obligations under Section 6.04, Chemours or a Chemours Affiliate may take, cause to be taken, or permit to be taken an action
described in this Section 6.01(f) if failure to take such action would violate the terms of the Debt-for-Debt Indebtedness or any of the documents entered into in connection therewith (a “Required Action”). DuPont shall
not be required to take any action related to obtaining a Ruling unless and until Chemours has provided to DuPont an opinion reasonably acceptable to DuPont from a nationally recognized Tax Advisor to the effect that the outcome of the ruling
process should be favorable. 
 (g) Gain Recognition Agreements. Chemours shall not (i) take any action (including, but not
limited to, the sale or disposition of any stock, securities, or other assets), (ii) permit any member of the Chemours Group to take any such action, (iii) fail to take any action, or (iv) permit any member of the Chemours Group to
fail to take any action, in each case that would cause DuPont or any member of the DuPont Group to recognize gain under any Gain Recognition Agreement. In addition, Chemours shall file, and shall cause any member of the Chemours Group to file, any
Gain Recognition Agreement reasonably requested by DuPont which Gain Recognition Agreement is determined by DuPont to be necessary so as to (i) allow for or preserve the tax-free or tax-deferred nature, in whole or part, of any Separation
Transaction, or (ii) avoid DuPont or any member of the DuPont Group recognizing gain under any Gain Recognition Agreement. 

Section 6.02 Restrictions on DuPont. DuPont agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or permit any DuPont Affiliate, as the
case may be, to take or fail to take, any action (i) where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in any Representation Letters or Tax
Opinions/Rulings, or (ii) which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect (A) the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution, the Debt-for-Debt Exchange and the Distribution, or (B) the qualification of any
Separation Transaction under U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law as tax free (including, but not limited to, those transactions described in any of the Tax Opinions/Rulings received with respect to such Separation Transaction) from so
qualifying; provided, however, that this Section 6.02 shall not be construed as obligating DuPont to consummate the Distribution nor shall it be construed as preventing DuPont from terminating the Separation Agreement
pursuant to Section 10.1 thereof. For avoid of doubt Chemours sole recourse for violations of this Section 6.02 shall be as set forth in Section 6.04(b).

Section 6.01(c) or clause (i) or (ii) or Section 6.01(f) (a “Notified Action”), DuPont and Chemours shall reasonably cooperate to attempt to obtain the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion referred to
in Section 6.01(c) or (f), unless DuPont shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. 

(b) Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at Chemours’s Request. DuPont agrees that at the reasonable request of Chemours
pursuant to Section 6.01(c) or (f), DuPont shall cooperate with Chemours and use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a Ruling from the IRS or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting
Chemours to take the 

  
 20 








 
Notified Action. Further, in no event shall DuPont be required to file any Ruling Request under this Section 6.03(b) unless Chemours represents that (A) it has read the Ruling
Request, and (B) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the Chemours Group, contained in the Ruling Request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. Chemours shall
reimburse DuPont for all reasonable costs and expenses, including expenses relating to the utilization of DuPont personnel, incurred by the DuPont Group in obtaining a Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by Chemours within ten Business Days
after receiving an invoice from DuPont therefor. 
 (c) Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at DuPont’s Request. DuPont shall
have the right to obtain a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If DuPont determines to obtain a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion, Chemours shall (and shall cause each Affiliate of Chemours to)
cooperate with DuPont and take any and all actions reasonably requested by DuPont in connection with obtaining the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion (including, without limitation, by making any representation or covenant or providing any materials
or information requested by the IRS or Tax Advisor; provided that Chemours shall not be required to make (or cause any Affiliate of Chemours to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters
or events over which it has no control). DuPont shall reimburse Chemours for all reasonable costs and expenses, including expenses relating to the utilization of Chemours personnel, incurred by the Chemours Group in connection with such cooperation
within ten Business Days after receiving an invoice from Chemours therefor. 
 (d) Chemours hereby agrees that DuPont shall have sole
and exclusive control over the process of obtaining any Ruling, and that only DuPont shall apply for a Ruling. In connection with obtaining a Ruling pursuant to Section 6.03(b), (A) DuPont shall keep Chemours informed in a timely
manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by DuPont in connection therewith; (B) DuPont shall (1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any Ruling Request documents provide Chemours with a draft copy thereof,
(2) reasonably consider Chemours’s comments on such draft copy, and (3) provide Chemours with a final copy; and (C) DuPont shall provide Chemours with notice reasonably in advance of, and Chemours shall have the right to attend,
any formally scheduled meetings with the IRS (subject to the approval of the IRS) that relate to such Ruling. Neither Chemours nor any Chemours Affiliate directly or indirectly controlled by Chemours shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other
Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Contribution, the Debt-for-Debt Exchange or the Distribution (including the impact of any transaction on the Contribution, the Debt-for-Debt Exchange or the
Distribution).

Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 6.01(c) or a Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 6.01(f) may
have been provided, regardless of whether DuPont may have consented to an Internal Restructuring, and regardless of whether an action may be a Required Action), subject to Section 6.04(c), Chemours shall be responsible for, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless DuPont and its Affiliates and each 

  
 21 








 
of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to or result from any one or more of the
following: (A) the acquisition (other than pursuant to the Contribution or the Distribution) of all or a portion of Chemours’s stock and/or its or its subsidiaries’ assets by any means whatsoever by any Person, (B) any
negotiations, understandings, agreements or arrangements by Chemours with respect to transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions
or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or events) that cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of Chemours representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater
Interest therein, (C) any action or failure to act by Chemours after the Distribution (including, without limitation, any amendment to Chemours’s certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), whether through a

act by Chemours or any Chemours Affiliate described in Section 6.01 (regardless whether such act or failure to act may be a Required Action or may be covered by a Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clause (A),

attributable to, or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition (other than pursuant to the Contribution or the Distribution) of all or a portion of DuPont’s stock and/or its assets by any means whatsoever by any
Person, (B) any negotiations, agreements or arrangements by DuPont with respect to transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital
contributions or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or events) that cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of DuPont representing a Fifty-Percent
or Greater Interest therein, (C) any act or failure to act by DuPont or a member of the DuPont Group described in Section 6.02 or any breach by DuPont of its agreement and representation set forth in Section 6.02,
limited, in each case, to Tax-Related Losses arising from Taxes of the DuPont Group for which a Chemours Entity is found jointly, severally or secondarily liable pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or similar
provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law). 
 (c) 

(i) To the extent that any Tax-Related Loss is subject to indemnity under both Sections 6.04(a) and (b),
responsibility for such Tax-Related Loss shall be shared by DuPont and Chemours according to relative fault. 

  
 22

any other provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary: 
 (A) with respect to (I) any
Tax-Related Loss resulting from Section 355(e) of the Code (other than as a result of an acquisition of a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in DuPont) and (II) any other Tax-Related Loss resulting (for the absence of doubt, in whole or in part)

be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless DuPont and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of such Tax-Related Loss; and 

(B) for purposes of calculating the amount and timing of any Tax-Related Loss for which Chemours is responsible under this
Section 6.04, Tax-Related Losses shall be calculated by assuming that DuPont, the DuPont Affiliated Group and each member of the DuPont Group (I) pay Tax at the highest marginal corporate Tax rates in effect in each relevant taxable
year and (II) have no Tax Attributes in any relevant taxable year. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything in
Section 6.04(a) or (c)(i) or any other provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, with respect to (I) any Tax-Related Loss resulting from Section 355(e) of the Code (other than as a result

(b) or (c) of the definition of “Final Determination”, then Chemours shall pay DuPont no later than two Business Days after the date of such Final Determination with interest calculated at the Prime Rate plus two percent,
compounded semiannually, from the date that is two Business Days prior to the Filing Date through the date of such Final Determination) and (B) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of
Tax-Related Losses, no later than two Business Days after the date DuPont pays such Tax-Related Losses. DuPont shall pay Chemours the amount of any Tax-Related Losses (described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Tax-Related
Loss) for which DuPont is responsible under this Section 6.04 no later than two Business Days after the date Chemours pays such Tax-Related Losses.

 Section 7. Assistance and Cooperation. 

Section 7.01 Assistance and Cooperation. 

(a) The Companies shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s
agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Companies and their Affiliates including (i) preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and amount of any
Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to and amount of any refund of Taxes, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, and (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed. Such
cooperation shall include making all information and documents in their possession relating to the other Company and its Affiliates available to such other Company as provided in Section 8. Each of the Companies shall also make available
to the other, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the Companies or their respective Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents
relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. In the event that a member of the DuPont Group,
on the one hand, or a member of the Chemours Group, on the other hand, suffers a Tax detriment as a result of a Transfer Pricing Adjustment, the Companies shall cooperate pursuant to this Section 7 to seek any competent authority relief
that may be available with respect to such Transfer Pricing Adjustment. Chemours shall cooperate with DuPont and take any and all actions reasonably requested by DuPont in connection with obtaining the Tax Opinions/Rulings (including, without
limitation, by making any new representation or covenant, confirming any previously made representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by any Tax Advisor or Tax Authority; provided that, Chemours shall not be
required to make or confirm any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control). 

(b) Any information or documents provided under this Section 7 shall be kept confidential by the Company receiving the
information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
any other agreement, (i) neither DuPont nor any DuPont Affiliate shall be required to provide Chemours or any Chemours Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information, documents or procedures (including the proceedings of
any Tax Contest) other than information, documents or procedures that relate to Chemours, the business or assets of Chemours or any Chemours Affiliate and (ii) in no event shall DuPont or any DuPont Affiliate be required to provide Chemours,
any Chemours Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information or documents if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that DuPont determines that the provision
of any information or documents to Chemours or any Chemours Affiliate could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with its obligations
under this Section 7 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. 

  
 24 








 Section 7.02 Income Tax Return Information. Chemours and DuPont acknowledge that time
is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by DuPont or Chemours pursuant to Section 7.01 or this Section 7.02. Chemours and DuPont acknowledge that failure to conform to the
reasonable deadlines set by DuPont or Chemours could cause irreparable harm. Each Company shall provide to the other Company information and documents relating to its Group required by the other Company to prepare Tax Returns, including, but not
limited to, any pro forma returns required by the Responsible Company for purposes of preparing such Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Responsible Company requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the
Responsible Company reasonably requests and at or prior to the time reasonably specified by the Responsible Company so as to enable the Responsible Company to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis. 

Section 7.03 Reliance by DuPont. If any member of the Chemours Group supplies information to a member of the DuPont Group in
connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the DuPont Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the
DuPont Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Chemours (or any officer of Chemours as designated by the chief financial officer of Chemours) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based
upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete. 
 Section 7.04 Reliance by
Chemours. If any member of the DuPont Group supplies information to a member of the Chemours Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the Chemours Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury
in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the Chemours Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of DuPont (or any officer of DuPont as designated by
the chief financial officer of DuPont) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete. 

Section 8. Tax Records. 

Section 8.01 Retention of Tax Records. Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and
activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and DuPont shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Distribution Tax Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the
administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven years after the Distribution Date (such later date,
the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 60 Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Company. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) a Company reasonably
determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 8 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax


  
 25 








 
Law and the other Company agrees, then such first Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 60 Business Days’ prior notice to the other Company. Any notice of an intent to dispose given
pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Company shall have the opportunity, at its
cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such 60 Business Day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, Chemours determines to decomission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or
information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then Chemours may decomission or discontinue such program or system upon 90 days’ prior notice to DuPont and DuPont shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to
copy, within such 60 Business Day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system. 

Section 8.02 Access to Tax Records. The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for
inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their
possession and shall permit the other Company and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Taxing Authority or other Tax auditor direct access, at the cost and expense of such other Company, during normal
business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax
Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement. 
 Section 8.03
Preservation of Privilege. No member of the Chemours Group shall provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be
asserted without the prior written consent of DuPont, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 Section 9. Tax Contests.

 Section 9.01 Notice. Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other Company of any written communication from
a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware related to Taxes for Tax Periods for which it is indemnified by the other Company hereunder or for which it may be required to
indemnify the other Company hereunder. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in
reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for
which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such party fails to give the indemnifying party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then
(i) if the indemnifying party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for any
Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the indemnifying party is not precluded from 

  
 26 








 
contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying party, then any amount which the
indemnifying party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment. 

Section 9.02 Control of Tax Contests. 

(a) Separate Returns. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Separate Return, the Company having liability for the Tax
pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall have exclusive control over the Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Sections 9.02(c) and (d) below. 

(b) Joint Return. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Joint Return, DuPont shall have exclusive control over the Tax
Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Sections 9.02(c) and (d) below. 

(c) Settlement Rights. The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to contest, litigate, compromise and settle any Tax Contest
without obtaining the prior consent of the Non-Controlling Party. Unless waived by the parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be
expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken
by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential adjustment in such Tax
Contest received from any Tax Authority; (iii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such
potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (iv) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or
furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (v) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the
preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling
Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest described in
Section 9.02(a) or (b), “Controlling Party” means the Company entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Section and “Non-Controlling Party” means the other Company. 

(d) Tax Contest Participation. Unless waived by the parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party
with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any
potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any 

  
 27 








 
indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section 9.02(d) to the
Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such
failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. 

(e) Power of Attorney. Each member of the Chemours Group shall execute and deliver to DuPont (or such member of the DuPont Group as
DuPont shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by DuPont (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which DuPont is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 9. Each
member of the DuPont Group shall execute and deliver to Chemours (or such member of the Chemours Group as Chemours shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by Chemours (or such designee) in connection with any Tax
Contest (as to which Chemours is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 9. 
 Section 10. Effective Date. This
Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof. 
 Section 11. Survival of Obligations. The representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time. 

Section 12. Treatment of Payments. 

Section 12.01 Treatment of Tax Indemnity Payments. In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or except as
otherwise required by other applicable Tax Law, any Tax indemnity payments made by a Company under this Agreement shall be reported for Tax purposes by the payor and the recipient as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring
immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-33(d)
(or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability. Except to the extent provided in Section 12.02, any Tax indemnity payment made by a Company under this Agreement shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such indemnity payment, the recipient Company receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

 Section 12.02 Interest Under This Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Company
(“Indemnitor”) makes a payment of interest to another Company (“Indemnitee”) under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Indemnitee made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date
that the Indemnitor reimbursed the Indemnitee for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest income by the Indemnitee (includible in income
to the extent provided by law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnitor or increase in Tax to the Indemnitee. 

  
 28 








 Section 13. Disagreements. 

Section 13.01 Discussion. The Companies mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them. Accordingly, they
will try, and they will cause their respective Group members to try, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments
hereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement (a “Dispute”) between any member of the DuPont Group and any member of the Chemours Group as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the
performance of obligations hereunder, the Tax departments of the Companies shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute. 

Section 13.02 Escalation. If such good faith negotiations do not resolve the Dispute, then the matter, upon written request of
either Company, will be referred for resolution to representatives of the parties at a senior level of management of the parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 8.1 of the Separation Agreement. 

Section 13.03 Referral to Tax Advisor. If the parties are not able to resolve the Dispute through the escalation process referred
to above, then the matter will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to each of the Companies to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. In the event that the Companies are unable to agree upon a Tax Advisor within 15 Business Days
following the completion of the escalation process, the Companies shall each separately retain an independent, nationally recognized law or accounting firm (each, a “Preliminary Tax Advisor”), which Preliminary Tax Advisors shall
jointly select a Tax Advisor on behalf of the Companies to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third-party appraiser, accounting firm or consultant that the Tax
Advisor deems necessary to assist it in resolving such disagreement. The Tax Advisor shall furnish written notice to the Companies of its resolution of any such Dispute as soon as practical, but in any event no later than 30 Business Days after its
acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be conclusive and binding on the Companies. Following receipt of the Tax Advisor’s written notice to the Companies of its resolution of the Dispute, the
Companies shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Advisor. Each Company shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection
with the referral of the matter to the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any). All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any) in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the
Companies. 
 Section 13.04 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Section 13 will prevent either Company from seeking
injunctive relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Dispute through the process set forth above could result in serious and irreparable injury to either Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, DuPont
and Chemours are the only members of their respective Group entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and each of DuPont and Chemours will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution
procedure other than through such party as provided in this Section 13. 

  
 29 








 Section 14. Late Payments. Any amount owed by one party to another party under this
Agreement which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid. To the extent interest required to be paid under this Section 14
duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision of this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate provided under this Section 14 or the interest rate provided under such other provision.

 Section 15. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party and its Affiliates shall bear their own
expenses incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 16. General Provisions.

 A party may change the address for receiving notices under this Agreement by providing written notice of the
change of address to the other parties. 
 Section 16.02 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. 
 Section 16.03 Waiver. The parties may waive a provision of
this Agreement only by a writing signed by the party intended to be bound by the waiver. A party is not prevented from enforcing any right, remedy or condition in the party’s favor because of any failure or delay in exercising any right or
remedy or in requiring satisfaction of any condition, except to the extent that the party specifically waives the same in writing. A written waiver given for one matter or occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated.
A waiver once given is not to be construed as a waiver for any other matter or occasion. Any enumeration of a party’s rights and remedies in this Agreement is not intended to be exclusive, and a party’s rights and remedies are intended to
be cumulative to the extent permitted by law and include any rights and remedies authorized in law or in equity. 
 Section 16.04
