17

ultimately intended for use in the manufacture of Additives, other than the manufacture of Additives and/or such intermediates for sale to SOC or designees of SOC or designees of SIRM.

3.4 For a reasonable period of time after the Effective Date, SOC agrees to cooperate, at the request and expense of SEL and subject to the reasonable availability in SOC of necessary expertise, in activities (not involving legal advice) undertaken by or for SEL in connection with the filing and/or prosecution of patent applications for Part I Invention Disclosures. Upon written request from a Party, the other Party shall arrange for the execution and delivery of any assignment documents or other instruments necessary to effectuate any aspects of the assignments or licences provided for in this Clause 3.

3.9 In addition to the rights granted to SEL in Clause 3.2(a), subject to the Rights of Third Parties existing at the Effective Date, SOC grants to SEL the right to bring suit to enforce claims in the Part I U.S. Invention Disclosure Rights and the Part II U.S. Invention Disclosure Rights in its own name and at its sole expense and for its own account against unauthorised infringement in the Secondary Field in respect of the use or sale of Equivalent Products on or after the Effective Date.

CLAUSE 4 - TECHNICAL INFORMATION

4 With effect from the Effective Date, subject to the rights of Third Parties, SOC grants to SEL an irrevocable, fully paid-up, exclusive (except as noted below in this Clause 4.1) licence, with the right to grant sub-licences, to use Elastomers Technical Information in the Elastomers Field in the U.S.

Licences granted to SEL under this Clause 4.1 shall be non-exclusive to:

(a) blend Products with epoxy resins and/or polyesters and use and sell such blends, and conduct research and development in support of such activities;

18

(b) manufacture, use and sell refinery products including fuels, lubricants, bituminous compositions and chemical feedstocks, and conduct research and development in support thereof; and

(c) use and sell Products in connection with operations for the exploration for and production of oil, gas and other minerals, and conduct research and development in support thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, SOC retains all rights including all sub-licensing rights, outside the Elastomers Field with respect to Elastomers Technical Information.

4.2 With effect from the Effective Date, subject to the rights of Third Parties, SOC grants to SEL:

(a) an irrevocable, fully paid-up, non-exclusive licence in the Elastomers Field in the U.S., with the right to grant sub-licences, to use Shell Technical Information other than that identified in Part A of Appendix 6; and

(b) an irrevocable, fully paid-up non-exclusive license in the Elastomers Field in the U.S., without any right to grant sub-licenses, to use Shell Technical Information identified in Part A of Appendix 6.

4.3 SOC shall use reasonable efforts to promptly make available to SEL Elastomers Technical Information in accordance with Appendix 4 and, at SEL’s request and cost, Shell Technical Information which is, in either case, as of the Effective Date in the possession of SOC in written or other tangible form, to the extent to which such information is, as of the Effective Date, either owned by SOC or under control of SOC. The nature of the physical transfer to SEL of Shell Technical Information shall be consistent with the manner in which such Shell Technical Information has been made available to the Elastomers Business. For the avoidance of doubt, SOC shall have no obligation to make available to SEL Shell Technical Information or Elastomers Technical Information which has been received by or on behalf of SOC from a Third Party subject to conditions which prohibit its transfer or disclosure to SEL. Details as to the implementation of this provision shall be agreed as circumstances reasonably require following the Effective Date. SEL shall promptly pay to SOC any costs which SOC or an Associate of SOC reasonably incurs in complying with the obligations under this Clause.

4.4 SEL specifically covenants not to practise under the grants of this Clause 4 in connection with the manufacture, use or sale of Additives or intermediates ultimately intended for use in the manufacture of Additives, other than the manufacture of Additives and/or such intermediates for sale to SOC or its designees or to designees of SIRM.

4.5 This Agreement shall not be construed to grant SEL any rights or licences in respect of Excluded Technical Information.

19

CLAUSE 5 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENTS

5.1 SOC shall assign, or shall cause the assignment of, and SEL agrees to accept assignment of, those Intellectual Property Agreements that SOC has authority to assign, so that SEL shall be entitled to the benefit and shall be subject to the burden thereof as of the Effective Date. SEL shall carry out, perform and complete all obligations and liabilities to be discharged under such Intellectual Property Agreements on or after the Effective Date, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SOC and its Associates and SIRM and its Associates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claim in respect of failure on the part of SEL to cany out, perform and complete such obligations and liabilities. SOC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SEL and its Associates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any claim for any failure by SOC and/or its Associates to carry out, perform or complete all obligations or liabilities to be discharged under the Intellectual Property Agreements prior to the Effective Date.

5.2 From the Effective Date, insofar as the benefit or burden of any of the Intellectual Property Agreements cannot effectively be assigned to SEL except by an agreement for novation or with consent to the assignment from a Third Party, at the request of SEL, SOC shall use reasonable efforts to assist SEL in pursuing the novation or consent for assignment of any Intellectual Property Agreements material to the Elastomers Business, provided, however, that such cooperation shall not include any requirement of SOC or any of its Associates to expend money (other than money which SEL has agreed in writing to reimburse), commence or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party. No representation or warranty has been given or can be given that the other parties to the Intellectual Property Agreements will agree to the assignment or novation thereof in favour of SEL. From the Effective Date, and until any necessary Third Party consent to the assignment of an Intellectual Property Agreement may be obtained, a novation agreement may be entered into or other arrangements may be effected, if it is permissible under the Intellectual Property Agreement in question, SOC shall (at SEL’s expense) either make a grant to SEL of, or procure from the relevant Associate of SOC a grant to SEL of, a sub-licence under the Intellectual Property Agreement, and SEL shall, without limitation to Clause 5.1, be liable for any fees associated with such sub-licence.

CLAUSE 6 - TECHNICAL COPYRIGHTS

With effect from the Effective Date and subject to Clause 7 and the rights of Third Parties, SOC grants SEL a non-exclusive, fully paid-up licence under its Technical Copyrights, together with a right to grant sub-licences to copy, use and/or modify, and a right to enforce the Technical Copyrights against Third Parties in the Elastomers Field.

(b) except as provided otherwise in Clause 7.3(c) and (d) below, shall not disclose the same to any Third Party; and

(c) shall not disclose the same to a professional advisor or auditor of SEL except for disclosures made on a strictly confidential basis; and

(d) shall not disclose the same to an employee, officer, director, agent, or representative of a Third Party other than a consultant or contractor engaged by SEL, or a Third Party to whom SEL has extended a sub-licence which SEL is permitted to grant hereunder, or any actual or potential banker or financier, without first obtaining agreement in writing by the employee, officer, director, agent, representative, consultant, contractor, sublicensee, actual or potential banker or financier, to use the same only for the purpose for which it is disclosed, and to not disclose the same to any Third Party.

7.4 With the exception of activities undertaken at the request of SOC, and subject to the provisions of Clause 7.8 governing SEL’s obligations in respect of Excluded Technical Information, with regard to Shell Technical Information identified in Part A of Appendix 6, SEL undertakes for itself and its Associates that they:

(b) has become part of the public knowledge or literature without breach of said undertakings by said obligated Party; or

(c) has been received by it after the Effective Date from a Third Party having a legal right to disclose it to said obligated Party.

7.6 In the event that the obligated Party is required or requested by any court, legislative or administrative body to disclose any Elastomers Technical Information, Shell Technical Information or other information covered by its undertakings pursuant to this Clause 7, then the obligated Party will, use reasonable efforts prior to disclosure, to promptly notify the other Party so that an appropriate protective order can be sought and/or other action can be taken if possible. In the event that such protective order is not, or cannot be, obtained, then:

(a) The obligated Party may disclose to the appropriate body that portion of the information which it is advised in writing by legal counsel that it is legally required to disclose, provided that it shall use reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to the information; and

(b) The obligated Party shall not be liable for such disclosure to the appropriate body unless such disclosure was caused by or resulted from a previous disclosure by the obligated Party that was not permitted by this Agreement.

7.7 Except for the obligations set forth in Clause 7.4 for Shell Technical Information described in Part A of Appendix 6, the obligations set forth in Clause 7.8 for Excluded Technical Information and the obligations undertaken in the Intellectual Property Agreements, all express and any implied restrictions in respect of disclosure and use of information under Clause 4, Clause 6 and/or Clause 7 of this Agreement shall terminate ten (10) years after the Effective Date.

7.8 It is not the intention of SOC to disclose Excluded Technical Information to SEL. In respect of any Excluded Technical Information which SEL may receive, SEL agrees to hold the same in strict confidence, not to disclose it to any Third Party and not to use it for any purpose whatsoever.

(b) A Party not joining an enforcement or participating in a defense proceeding under this Section 3.02 shall provide such assistance as may reasonably be required by and at the expense of the Party initiating or defending such proceeding and shall make no admission as to liability nor agree to any settlement or compromise.

3.03 If Licensor notifies Licensee that Licensor does not intend to continue to prosecute or maintain any of the Part II US Patents, Licensor shall, at Licensee’s request, assign to Licensee (or its designee) the rights of Licensor in such of the Part II US Patents which it does not wish to prosecute or maintain. Licensor shall have an irrevocable, fully paid-up, world wide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to make, have made, use, sell and distribute Products in the Elastomers Field under the Part II US Patents so assigned to Licensee.

4.Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that provisions of the IPTLA shall govern the disclosure and use of confidential technical information which may be disclosed by one Party to the other in connection with this Agreement.

5.Term and Termination

5.01 Termination of the Agreement for any reason shall not limit remedies which may be otherwise available in law or equity. Notwithstanding any such termination, any other provision required to interpret and enforce the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement shall also survive, but only to the extent required for the full observation and performance of this Agreement.

5.02 The licenses to the Part II US Patents shall be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses to rights in “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Licensee shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. In the event that a bankruptcy proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against Licensor, Licensee shall be entitled, at its option, to: (a) retain all of its rights under this Agreement

6

(including without limitation the rights and licenses granted under Article 2 hereof) pursuant to Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; or (b) receive complete and equivalent rights in all Part II US Patents licensed hereunder constituting “intellectual property” under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a)Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all attachments hereto), the IPTLA, and the MSA and all other agreements to be signed or delivered at closing of the transactions contemplated by the MSA, constitute the full understanding of the parties, a complete allocation of risks between them and a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of their agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, whether written or oral, that may exist between the parties with respect thereto; provided, however, that this provision is not intended to abrogate the MSA or the IPTLA. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the IPTLA, the provisions of the IPTLA shall control.

(b)Waivers. No waiver by a party with respect to any breach or default or of any right or remedy and no course of dealing or performance, will be deemed to constitute a continuing waiver of any other breach or default or of any other right or remedy, unless such waiver is expressed in writing signed by the party to be bound. Failure of a party to exercise any right will not be deemed a waiver of such right or rights in the future.

(c)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party shall assign this Agreement, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment that does not comply with this Section 6(c) shall be null and void ab initio; provided that Licensor may assign this Agreement to an Associate of Licensor or to any successor of substantially all of the assets utilized in the business of Licensee in the Elastomers Field, and provided that Licensee may assign this Agreement to an Associate of Licensee or to a successor to any business of Licensee or its Associates to which such assets relate, and provided that, in each case, such Associate or successor assumes in writing all of the assigning Party’s obligations hereunder and the assigning Party shall remain bound by the terms of this Section 6(c) and shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Except as this Agreement may expressly provide otherwise, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person, other than the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

(d)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all of which will constitute the same instrument.
