The Committee's decision in all matters involving the interpretation and application of this Plan shall be final. The Committee shall have the discretionary right to determine eligibility for benefits hereunder and to construe the terms and conditions of this Plan.

Ltd., a Delaware limited liability company (the "Buyer"), to the Purchase Agreement, dated August 30, 2012 (the "Agreement"), by and between DuPont and the Buyer.  Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Agreement.
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement, as more fully set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I 
 
AMENDMENT
SECTION 1.1    Pension Purchase Price Adjustment.  Section 2.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new subsection (d) immediately following subsection (c) thereof:
"(d)  The parties acknowledge that the Pension Transfer that is contemplated to occur under Section 2.7(b) of the Employee Matters Agreement in respect of the E. I du Pont Canada Company Pension Plan (the “Canada Pension Transfer”) is not expected to occur within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date and that Flash Lux Co S.A R.L. and E.I. du Pont Canada Company (“DuPont Canada”) shall enter into a certain Pension Transfer Agreement on the Closing Date (the “Canada Pension Transfer Agreement”) in respect of the Canada Pension Transfer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4 to the contrary, to the extent that the Canada Pension Transfer does not occur within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, the Final Pension Funding Amount shall be determined pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) on the basis that the value of the assets as of the Closing Date to be transferred in connection with the Canada Pension Transfer will be equal to the Transfer Amount (as defined in the Canada Pension Transfer Agreement) as reflected in the initial application(s) to the applicable regulatory authorities for the approval of the Canada Pension Transfer that is submitted by DuPont Canada in accordance with the first sentence 

1

 

of Section 2.2(d) of the Canada Pension Transfer Agreement (the “Expected Canada Transfer Amount”), and accordingly, subject to the later provisions of this Section 2.4(d), such amount shall be treated as Pension Assets for purposes of this Section 2.4.  At the time the Canada Pension Transfer occurs in accordance with the Canada Pension Transfer Agreement, if the regulatory authorities require that the value of assets to be transferred as of the Closing Date be equal to the Directed Amount (as defined in Section 2.2(e) of the Canada Pension Transfer Agreement), then the Final Pension Funding Amount shall be redetermined by substituting such Directed Amount for the Expected Canada Transfer Amount, and the amount, if any, payable by DuPont pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be redetermined, provided that the amount, if any, payable in accordance with Section 2.4(c) shall be reduced by the aggregate amount, if any, previously paid by DuPont pursuant to Section 2.4(c).  DuPont shall pay any such amount within five (5) Business Days following such a redetermination together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date until the date of such payment."

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Local Asset Transfer Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Mexican Asset Transfer, any Restructuring VAT and all excise, sales, VAT, use, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes arising from the removal of the Excluded Assets from the Transferred DPC Companies, Joint Ventures and their respective Subsidiaries or the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions shall be payable solely by DuPont, except for Mexican VAT arising directly from the Mexican Asset Transfer, which shall be payable solely by DPC Mexico.
