worldwide sublicense, under the Sublicensed Patents to perform Hydrogenation, and (b) a non-exclusive, worldwide license, under the Licensed Intellectual Property to perform Hydrogenation. The sublicense and license granted in this
Section 2.1.1 shall be effective as of the Effective Date. 
 2.1.2. DuPont hereby grants the following rights to Bioamber
solely within the Commercial Field: (a) a non-exclusive, worldwide sublicense, under the Sublicensed Patents to perform Hydrogenation, and (b) a non-exclusive, worldwide license, under the Licensed Intellectual Property to perform
Hydrogenation. The sublicense and license granted in this Section 2.1.2 shall be effective as of the Delayed Rights Date, provided that on the Delayed Rights Date Bioamber is in compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 2.2. Sublicensing Rights. 
 2.2.1. As of the end of the Development Period, Bioamber shall have the right to sublicense the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1.1 and/or 2.1.2 to Third Parties, subject to DuPont having
the right to reject any potential sublicensee, and provided that any such Third Party agrees to abide by all the terms of this Agreement as they apply to Bioamber as a rights grantee hereunder. Bioamber shall grant no sublicenses during the
Development Period other than sublicenses of the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1.1 to allow Third Parties to assist Bioamber with the further development pursuant to Section 2.12.2. 

a. Prior to the granting of any such sublicense, Bioamber will provide DuPont a written notice identifying the potential Third Party that
Bioamber desires to sublicense and the scope of the rights Bioamber desires to sublicense to such Third Party. 
 b. DuPont shall
have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice to provide a written notice to Bioamber rejecting such Third Party as a sublicensee. Failure by DuPont to provide such notice to Bioamber within the above-noted thirty (30) day period
shall be deemed as DuPont having waived its right to reject such potential sublicensee to be granted rights of the scope set forth in the notice. 
 c. DuPont agrees to not exercise its right of rejection in a commercially unreasonable manner, and DuPont agrees not to reject a proposed sublicensee

* Confidential treatment requested 

 
solely on the grounds that it is a competitor of DuPont. The fact that DuPont has rejected or failed to reject any potential sublicensee shall create no obligation on DuPont with respect to its
right of rejection with respect to any other potential sublicensee presented by Bioamber. 
 d. In the event that DuPont fails to
exercise its right of rejection hereunder and, DuPont shall incur no liability for the actions of Bioamber or any sublicensee as a result of DuPont allowing Bioamber to sub-license the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1.1 and/or 2.1.2 to
any Third Party, and Bioamber hereby indemnifies and hold DuPont harmless in the event of any such claim.

Section 2.1.1 and/or 2.1.2 to those Third Parties having a valid sublicense to the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1.1 and/or 2.1.2 on the date this Agreement is so terminated, provided that any such Third Party sublicensee(s)
is not then in default under the terms of the sublicense agreement between the Third Party and Bioamber and further provided that DuPont shall be under no obligation to grant any such license in the event that so doing would violate any law
or legal or governmental regulation. The financial terms of such license between DuPont and the Third Party shall be the same as those set forth in the sublicense agreement then in effect between the Third Party and Bioamber. The license agreement
between DuPont and such Third Party shall obligate such Third Party to immediately pay to DuPont any amount in arrears under the sublicensee agreement between the Third Party and Bioamber and shall obligate such Third Party to abide by all the terms
of this Agreement as they apply to Bioamber as a rights grantee hereunder. DuPont’s obligations under this Section shall not apply to any sublicense granted during the Development Period. Other than the granting of a license as described above,

be deemed as “identified as confidential information” if clearly labeled as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or with some other legend or marking indicating the confidential nature of the information. Information that is
disclosed verbally or by other non-tangible disclosure to DuPont shall be deemed as “identified as confidential information” if it is set forth by BioAmber in a writing clearly labeled “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or
with some other legend or marking indicating the confidential nature of the information, and the writing is delivered to DuPont within fifteen (15) days of said verbal/non-written disclosure. Information disclosed verbally or by other
non-written disclosure to DuPont shall be treated as Confidential Information during the fifteen (15) day period following such disclosure. 
 1.3.1. Information shall not be considered Confidential Information to the extent that any such information was (a) as of the date of disclosure to DuPont, known to DuPont and such knowledge can be
substantiated by reasonable documentation; (b) as of the date of disclosure to DuPont, disclosed in published literature or generally available to the public; (c) after the date of disclosure to DuPont, disclosed in published literature or
generally available to the public, other than by a breach by DuPont of the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Agreement; (d) developed by DuPont independently from, and without exposure to, the information provided by
BioAmber; or (e) obtained by DuPont from a third party without binder of secrecy, provided that such third party had no obligation of confidentiality to BioAmber or any of its Affiliates relating to the Confidential Information. 

1.3.2. Information disclosed hereunder shall not be deemed to be within the exceptions merely set forth in Section 1.3.1 merely
because such information is embraced by more general knowledge in the public domain or in DuPont’s possession. In addition, no combination of features shall be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because individual features are
in the public domain or in DuPont’s possession, but only if the combination itself and its principles of operation are in the public domain or in DuPont’s possession. 
 1.3.3. For the purposes of Sections 1.3 through 1.3.3, inclusive, “information” includes, without limitation, all information relating to existing and potential inventions (whether or not

as such Representatives agree to be bound by the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Agreement or at least as strict as those set forth in this Agreement. DuPont shall be responsible for any breach of the obligations of
confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Agreement by any of DuPont’s Representatives. 
 4.2. Required
Disclosure. If DuPont is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, DuPont shall (a) notify BioAmber of such requirement sufficiently in advance of such required disclosure in order to permit BioAmber to take steps to prevent
such disclosure, and (b) prior to any disclosure consult with and assist BioAmber in obtaining a protective order or other appropriate measure. In any event, DuPont will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is
legally required and will use best efforts to assure that confidential treatment is accorded any Confidential Information so disclosed. 
 4.3. Equitable Relief. DuPont acknowledges that (a) the Confidential Information disclosed to DuPont by BioAmber is the trade secret information of BioAmber, (b) any breach of the
obligations of confidentiality and/or non-use set forth herein may cause irreparable harm to BioAmber, (c) in the event of such breach, damages alone will not be an adequate remedy to BioAmber, and (d) in addition to all other remedies to
which BioAmber may be entitled hereunder or otherwise, BioAmber may be entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, with respect to said obligations in any court of competent jurisdiction.
