The failure to appropriately mark information/materials as confidential or proprietary upon initial disclosure to the Receiving Party will not be considered a waiver of confidentiality. Information/materials marked as proprietary or confidential when first disclosed, without further identification of the category of confidential information, will be presumptively considered and treated as Program Information until the Disclosing Party notifies the Receiving Party otherwise in writing.

4.05 Exceptions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the obligations of confidentiality and restricted use herein shall not apply to any information or materials to the extent the Receiving Party can establish by documentary evidence that one or more of the following exceptions apply:

a. the information or material was already in the Receiving Party's or its Affiliate's lawful possession (free of any confidentiality and use restrictions) and was not previously acquired directly or indirectly from the other Party under a current obligation of confidentiality;

b. the information or material was already in the public domain or subsequently entered the public domain after disclosure through no fault of the Receiving Party;

c. the information or material was or is hereafter furnished to the Receiving Party, or its Affiliate, on a non- confidential basis by a third party legally entitled to provide the information or material without restriction;

d. the information or material was independently developed by employees or agents of the Receiving Party or its Affiliate who did not have access to relevant information provided by the Disclosing Party; and/or

e. the information or material was released from the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement by the Disclosing Party's written authorization.

The later occurrence of any one of the aforementioned exceptions will not excuse any failure to adequately protect Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement prior to the existence of the exception. More specific Confidential Information will not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by more general information that is publicly available or in the possession of Receiving Party pursuant to one of the exceptions. Also a combination of features will not be deemed within the foregoing exceptions merely because individual features are publicly available or in Receiving Party's possession pursuant to one of the exceptions.

4.06 Disclosure to Affiliates, Contractors, and Sub-licensees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Receiving Party may disclose a Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to its Affiliates, and said Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to their respective contractors providing services in furtherance of a Project as well as to permitted sub-licensees hereunder, provided such Affiliates, contractors, and sub-licensees have agreed to be bound by confidentiality and limited use obligations no less protective of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information than the terms contained herein. The Receiving Party will be liable to the Disclosing Party for any unauthorized disclosure or misuse of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information by such Affiliates, contractors, and sub-licensees.

4.07 Compelled Disclosure. In the event that a Receiving Party (or its Affiliate) is required by law, court order or rule, or government authority to disclose the Confidential Information that Receiving Party is obligated to hold in confidence pursuant to Paragraph 4.01 (Program Information Disclosure, Confidentiality and Use Restriction) and/or Paragraph 4.02 (Background Information Disclosure, Confidentiality and Use Restriction), then the Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party prior to disclosure in order to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order at the Disclosing Party's sole expense. In any event, the Receiving Party who is required to disclose such information will request confidential treatment of the information and only disclose the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary to comply with such law, court order or rule, or government authority.

ExxonMobil will solely own Program Information, Program Patents, and copyrightable works resulting from the Program (collectively, Program Results), irrespective of whether the Program Results are conceived, created, developed or acquired by employees or other representatives of FCE, ExxonMobil, or both. FCE will assign, and hereby assigns, to ExxonMobil ownership of Program Results.

6.02 Solicitation of Program Patents. ExxonMobil will have the sole responsibility and the exclusive right to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain Program Patents pursuant to Paragraph 6.01 (Ownership of Program Results). Such right will include the right to determine if, where, and when patent applications are filed, and the scope of such patent applications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ExxonMobil shall provide FCE notice of its intent to file any patent application containing FCE's Confidential Background Information and an opportunity for FCE to review any such patent application for FCE's Confidential Background Information. If FCE does not respond within thirty (30) days from ExxonMobil seeking such consent, then ExxonMobil may proceed with such filing. The cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining any such patent applications that ExxonMobil decides to pursue and maintain, as well as the cost of maintaining any patents resulting therefrom, will be paid in full by ExxonMobil. For Program Patents, if one or more employees or other representatives of FCE are determined to be inventors, then FCE will:

(i) cause its employees, contractors, and consultants to render reasonable and timely assistance to ExxonMobil and its attorneys or agents;

(ii) assign, and will cause its and its Affiliates' employees, contractors, and consultants to assign, its right, title, and interest in and to such Program Patent to ExxonMobil for filing; and

(iii) cause its and its Affiliate employees, contractors, and consultants, to execute any documents as may be required to effect such assignments, or file, prosecute, and maintain any patent applications or patents that are based on, derived from, or protect such Program Patent.

ExxonMobil will hold formal legal title to all such patent applications, and resulting patents.

6.03 Cooperation in Soliciting Program Patents. The Parties agree to cooperate in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and securing of patent applications and patents, all without charge to such other Party. When ExxonMobil's patent counsel sends to FCE documents for review that contains FCE Confidential Background Information, the Parties will follow the review process pursuant to Paragraph 6.02 (Solicitation of Program Patents). Upon FCE's written request, ExxonMobil will provide a courtesy copy of any Program Patent that does not contain any FCE Confidential Background Information prior to filing such document. All Program Patent filings, and the status thereof, will be reported to the Steering Committee.

6.04 Solicitation of Program Patents Discretionary. ExxonMobil has the unencumbered right to file or not to file, prosecute, defend, maintain, abandon, or enforce any Program Invention or Program Patent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event ExxonMobil decides not to prosecute, defend, enforce, maintain or decides to abandon any Program Patent, then ExxonMobil will provide notice thereof to FCE, and FCE will then have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute or maintain the Program Patent and sole responsibility for the continuing costs, taxes, legal fees, maintenance fees and other fees associated with that Program Patent. The ownership of such Program Patent will remain with ExxonMobil.

The abandonment of a pending patent application in favor of a continuation patent application, continuation-in-part patent application, or divisional patent application, or in favor of another application of a related subject (e.g. to overcome a double patenting rejection) and ExxonMobil's decision not to file any Program Patent, will not be deemed to be an election not to continue to prosecute, issue, or maintain any Program Patent under Paragraph 6.04. In addition, (a) the failure to appeal a patent office or any administrative tribunal or judicial decision adverse to any patent or patent application, or (b) in the case of a co-pending non-provisional application in the U.S., (i) failure to enter an international patent application into the national phase, or (ii) to ratify a patent in any country, will not be deemed to be an election not to continue to prosecute, issue, or maintain any Program Patent under Paragraph 6.04.

6.06 Joint Research Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a joint research agreement as defined in 35 U.S.C. §100(h). The specification of any patent application filed pursuant to this Agreement may contain (or may be amended to contain) language required to invoke 35 U.S.C. §102(b)(2)(C) and §102(c) as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 5.01 (Publicity), ExxonMobil will have the right to invoke these statutory provisions when exercising its rights to file patent applications under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of FCE, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6.02 (Solicitation of Program Patents). Where ExxonMobil intends to invoke these statutory provisions, FCE, upon request, will cooperate and coordinate its activities with ExxonMobil with respect to any submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof.

6.07 Inventor Awards. A Party will not be responsible for any inventor awards or compensation that may be owed to the other Party's employee(s) or to any employees of the other Party's Affiliates, agents, consultants, or contractors, who are inventors of any Program Invention.

6.08 Disposal of Prior JDA Project Patents. During the Term of this Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter, in the event that either Party decides to sell or convey its interest in or otherwise dispose of any Prior JDA Project Patent to any Non-Affiliated Third Party, such Party will inform the other Party, who will then have the right of first refusal to purchase or otherwise acquire the sole interest at same or better terms. Any sale of a Prior JDA Project Patent to a Non-Affiliated Third Party is subject to the licenses granted and other obligations set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10 -PAYMENT

10.01 Project Costs.

a) ExxonMobil will reimburse FCE for Research Costs (i.e., cumulative FTE Costs and Direct Costs) for each Project subject to total caps set forth herein and in the relevant Project Description. Research Costs of FCE paid for by ExxonMobil will be limited to FTE Costs for time actually spent on the Program and Direct Costs actually incurred and approved in advance by the Steering Committee. The cumulative Research Costs for the Program will not exceed forty-five million United States dollars ($45,000,000 USD) over the Term of the Agreement (Total Research Cost). ExxonMobil will reimburse FCE for Research Costs after receipt of invoices on a monthly basis. Invoices for Direct Costs will be supported by relevant third party invoices received by FCE documenting such costs. Materials shall be invoiced as incurred and subject to a thirty percent (30%) service fee. All such payments will be made after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoices in accordance with the invoicing procedures specified in Paragraphs 10.01(b)-(e) and in Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices).

b) First Invoice. FCE will invoice ExxonMobil an advance payment on or promptly after the Effective Date (Initial Payment), said Initial Payment not to exceed one-twelfth (1/12) of the Total Research Cost (i.e., three-million and seven-hundred and fifty thousand United States dollars ($3,750,000 USD)). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, including Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices), such payment will be made within fifteen (15) days after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice.

c) Subsequent Monthly Invoices. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month that occurs during the remainder of the Term of the Agreement, subject to Paragraph 10.01(e), FCE will calculate and invoice ExxonMobil for the actual amounts incurred (for charges permitted in accordance with the respective Project Description(s)) during the immediately preceding calendar month.

d) End of Term of the Program.

i. By the fifteenth (15th) day of the last month of the Term of the Agreement, ExxonMobil will have been invoiced for the actual charges incurred in all of the prior months of the Term of the Agreement, but the most recently issued invoice will not be due. Therefore, at such time ExxonMobil will not have yet paid for the last two (2) months of the Term of the Agreement. When FCE issues the invoice during the last month of the Term of the Agreement (8th Inning Invoice), FCE will apply some or all of the Initial Payment, as applicable, as credit against the amount due.

ii. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Term of the Agreement, FCE will issue an invoice (9th Inning Invoice) for the actual charges incurred during the last month of the Term of the Agreement, subject to Paragraph 10.01(a). FCE will apply any balance of the Initial Payment remaining after the 8th Inning Invoice as a credit towards the amount due on the 9th Inning Invoice. If after applying such credit, a balance of the Initial Payment still remains, FCE will refund the balance to ExxonMobil within thirty (30) days, unless otherwise mutually agreed (such as the Parties mutually agreeing to enter into a new Project and apply the balance as a credit towards amounts payable by ExxonMobil thereunder).

e) Maximum Charges. The invoices sent by FCE under the foregoing procedure for each year of the Agreement may not in the aggregate be more than half the Total Research Cost, without prior written consent of ExxonMobil or amendment to the Project Description. All such payments will be made after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice in accordance with the invoicing procedures specified Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices).

10.02 Up-Front Exclusivity and Technology Access Payment. In exchange for FCE working exclusively with ExxonMobil during the Term of the Agreement, pursuant to Paragraph 2.03 (Work Exclusivity/Independent Work), and ExxonMobil's access to FCE Background Patents, pursuant to Paragraph 8.02(a) (Grant of Rights to Background Information and Background Patents), on the Effective Date, FCE will separately invoice, and ExxonMobil will pay a one-time up-front fee (Exclusivity and Technology Access Fee) of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000 USD).

Such payment will be made within fifteen (15) days after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, including Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices).

10.03 Milestone Payments. As further consideration for technical progress in the Program, ExxonMobil shall pay the following sums upon achievement of the following Program milestones (Milestone Payments):

(a) ExxonMobil will pay FCE a first Milestone Payment of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000 USD) upon FCE achieving Milestone 1 to ExxonMobil's satisfaction; and

(b) ExxonMobil will pay FCE a second and final Milestone Payment of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000 USD), upon FCE achieving Milestone 2 to ExxonMobil's satisfaction.

All such Milestone Payments will be made after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice in accordance with the invoicing procedures specified Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices). The obligation to pay any such installment ends upon termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason prior to FCE achieving the respective milestone.

10.04 Invoices. FCE will invoice ExxonMobil for any amount due under a Project at the address (including the email address) in Article 16 (Addresses and Notices). Each invoice will identify this Agreement's identification number LAW-2019-3608, the number of the particular Project Description to which it pertains, and details of FTE Costs (including unique employee identifiers of the FTEs) and Direct Costs. FCE will not include charges relating to more than one Project Description in any given invoice. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, ExxonMobil agrees to pay FCE the amount of each invoice under this Agreement within thirty (30) days following ExxonMobil's receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if ExxonMobil has a good faith dispute regarding any amounts invoiced by FCE, ExxonMobil may withhold payment for the disputed amount, provided that ExxonMobil pays the undisputed amount and notifies FCE in writing of the specific amount and nature of the dispute promptly upon receipt of FCE's invoice in which case the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. The Parties shall endeavor to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) days of notice of the dispute, and ExxonMobil shall remit payment to FCE within fifteen (15) days of resolution of such dispute.

All such payments by ExxonMobil to FCE will be made by wire transfer in United States Dollars. FCE shall provide the Bank Name, Bank Address, Bank Account, and Swift Code in each invoice.
