ARTICLE IV.

PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

4.01 Standards. Service Provider shall perform the Services in a commercially reasonable manner, using its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in the same manner as if Service Provider was providing such Services for its own account. Actions taken by Service Provider in good faith consistent with the foregoing shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement unless such action materially violates an express provision of this Agreement.

4.02 Employees. Service Provider shall determine the fitness and qualifications of all employees performing the Services. Service Provider shall hire, supervise, direct the work of, and discharge all such employees. Service Provider shall determine the wages and conditions of employment of all such employees. All wages, bonuses, compensation, benefits, termination or severance expenses or liabilities, pension fund contribution obligations or liabilities, and other costs, benefits, expenses or liabilities and entitlements of or in connection with employees employed in connection with provision of the Services shall be Service Provider's responsibility; provided, that such items shall be Functional Services Costs and will be taken into account as such for purposes of Article V.

4.03 Independent Contractors. Service Provider may hire consultants, independent contractors, or subcontractors, including Affiliates, to perform all or any part of a Service hereunder. Service Provider will remain fully responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Service Provider will be responsible for payments due to its independent contractors, which payments shall be included in the Actual Costs allocated pursuant to Section 5.01.

4.04 No Joint Venture or Partnership. Service Provider shall perform all Services provided pursuant to this Agreement as an independent contractor to Recipient and not as an employee, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, landlord, agent or representative of Recipient. In no event shall Service Provider be deemed in breach of its obligations hereunder solely by reason of (i) the failure of the financial performance of the Recipient's business to meet Recipient expectations or income projections or any operating budget or annual plans, (ii) the acts of Recipient's employees, (iii) the institution of litigation or the entry of judgments against Recipient or the Recipient's business, or (iv) any other acts or omissions not otherwise constituting a material breach of this Agreement, it being the intention and agreement of the parties that Service Provider's sole obligation hereunder shall be to act in conformity with the standard set forth in Section 4.01.

4.05 Affiliate Transactions. The fact that Service Provider or an Affiliate thereof, or a stockholder, director, officer, member, or employee of Service Provider or an Affiliate thereof, is employed by, or is directly or indirectly interested in or connected with, any Person which may be employed by Recipient to render or perform a service, or from which Service Provider may purchase any property, shall not prohibit Service Provider from employing such Person or otherwise dealing with such Person.

4.06 Cooperation. MSC and MPM shall cooperate fully with each other during the Term to procure and maintain all licenses and operating permits and to facilitate each party's performance of this Agreement. Recipient shall at its own expense cooperate fully with Service Provider by promptly providing reasonable assistance, resources and access (including the provision of access to its personnel, computer systems, data, equipment and other information) as is necessary to the performance by Service Provider of its obligations hereunder and as may be reasonably requested by Service Provider from time to time.

ARTICLE V.

COST ALLOCATION

5.01 Allocation Formula.

(h)Functional Services Costs shall be allocated as follows:

(i)To the extent 100% of such item is demonstrably attributable to or for the benefit of MSC or MPM, 100% of such item shall be allocated to MSC or MPM, as applicable; and

(ii)All other portions of any item that cannot be allocated pursuant to clause (a) above shall be allocated in accordance with the Allocation Percentage.

(i)With respect to any Capital Expenditure made or to be made by a Service Provider, the Steering Committee, following consultation with MSC and MPM, shall determine whether the cost of such Capital Expenditure should be allocated between MSC and MPM based on the Allocation Percentage or otherwise and based on the Steering Committee's reasonable, good faith estimate of the respective anticipated usage of the assets underlying such Capital Expenditure, and, if at all, how such Capital Expenditure shall be allocated between them (including whether any portion of such Capital Expenditure is to be currently billed to either party), based on the estimate of such usage, the parties' relative costs of capital and respective hurdle rates and any other similar factors deemed relevant by the Steering Committee.

(j)No less often than annually, the Steering Committee shall meet to evaluate and determine whether the Allocation Percentage then in existence accurately and equitably reflects the performance and use of Services by MSC and MPM (for the avoidance of doubt, such determination shall be based on the relative benefits obtained or expected to be obtained from such Services and the relative costs incurred and expected to be incurred in the performance of such Services and not solely based on how MSC and MPM's respective cost structures have or may have changed since the Effective Date (and not at all based on any changes in cost structures resulting from the transactions and arrangements contemplated hereby)). The Steering Committee shall undertake to evaluate the Services being performed and used and shall make a determination as to whether the Allocation Percentage then in existence requires adjustment. Each of MSC and MPM shall cooperate with the Steering Committee in the aforementioned process including making appropriate personnel and materials available to the Steering Committee. In the event that either MSC or MPM disagrees with the Allocation Percentage determined by the Steering Committee, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article XII shall apply.

5.02 Non-Cash Cost Allocation. Any non-cash costs or expenses caused by, incurred or otherwise arising from or relating to the Services shall be allocated to MSC and MPM for financial statement purposes only, without any corresponding cash reimbursement required, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, based on the Allocation Percentage principles described in Section 5.01 hereof.

5.03 Monthly Estimate Statements. Prior to the first day of each quarter during the Term, the Steering Committee, with such assistance from MSC and MPM as the Steering Committee shall request, shall (i) estimate (or calculate, as applicable) the (x) Actual Cost of each Service Provider in respect of Services to be provided by it for each month during such quarter, and (y) cost shares of each of the parties as calculated pursuant to this Article V and the estimated net cost share payment, if any, that will be owed by either MSC or MPM, as applicable, to the other party (the “Estimated Monthly Allocation Payment”) for each month during such quarter and (ii) direct the applicable Service Provider to prepare and issue invoices for each Estimated Monthly Allocation Payment to be paid by the other party, which invoices shall be delivered on the first day of each month during such quarter (or as promptly as practicable thereafter). Within ten (10) days of delivery of an invoice for the Estimated Monthly Allocation Payment, the applicable Recipient shall promptly make payment of the Estimated Monthly Allocation Payment. MSC and MPM, as applicable, may elect to cause all or a portion of the Estimated Monthly Allocation Payment to be satisfied by one or more of their subsidiaries, including, in the case of MSC, those subsidiaries listed on Exhibit C and, in the case of MPM, those subsidiaries listed on Exhibit D, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include settlement in non-U.S. jurisdictions in currency other than U.S. dollars converted at the Exchange Rate for the applicable Recipient.

5.04 Quarterly Statements. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each quarter during the Term, each Service Provider shall furnish the Steering Committee with a written statement with respect to the Actual Cost of such Service Provider in respect of Services provided by it during such quarter, setting forth (i) the cost allocation determined pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (ii) the

cost allocation determined pursuant to Section 5.02, and (iii) the amounts paid pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof, together with such other data and information necessary to complete the items described in Section 5.05 hereof (hereinafter referred to as the “Quarterly Report”).

5.05 Determination and Payment.

(k)Within twenty (20) days of the submission of the Quarterly Report described in Section 5.04 hereof, the Steering Committee shall (i) determine the cost share of each of the parties as calculated pursuant to this Article V for such quarter, the amount of the Estimated Monthly Allocation Payments made by each of the parties to the other during such quarter and the resultant net cost share payment, if any, owed by either MSC or MPM, as applicable, to the other party for such quarter (the “Quarterly Reconciliation Payment”); and (ii) direct the applicable Service Provider to prepare and issue an invoice for such Quarterly Reconciliation Payment to the other party. Any dispute among members of the Steering Committee that cannot be settled by majority vote shall be settled pursuant to Article XII.

(l)Within fifteen (15) days of the determination by the Steering Committee of the Quarterly Reconciliation Payment, either MSC or MPM may dispute such determination by giving written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such dispute. Any such dispute shall be settled pursuant to Article XII.

(m)Within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the invoice for the Quarterly Reconciliation Payment described in Section 5.05(a), if a valid dispute notice has not been delivered in accordance with Section 5.05(b), the applicable Recipient shall promptly make payment of the Quarterly Reconciliation Payment. MSC and MPM, as applicable, may elect to cause all or a portion of the Quarterly Reconciliation Payment to be satisfied by one or more of their subsidiaries, including, in the case of MSC, those subsidiaries listed on Exhibit C and, in the case of MPM, those subsidiaries listed on Exhibit D, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include settlement in non-U.S. jurisdictions in currency other than U.S. dollars converted at the Exchange Rate for MSC or MPM, as applicable.

5.06 Taxes.

(n)Recipient is responsible for and will pay all Taxes applicable to the Services provided to Recipient; provided, that such payments by Recipient to Service Provider will be made in a manner that is the most tax-efficient and that does not otherwise negatively impact Service Provider; and provided, further, that Service Provider will not be subject to any liability for Taxes applicable to the Services as a result of such payment by Recipient. Service Provider will collect such Tax from Recipient in the same manner it collects such Taxes from other customers in the ordinary course of Service Provider's business, but in no event prior to the time it invoices Recipient for the Services with respect to which such Taxes are levied. Recipient may provide Service Provider with a certificate evidencing its exemption from payment of or liability for such Taxes.

(o)Service Provider will promptly reimburse Recipient for any Taxes collected from Recipient and refunded to Service Provider. In the event a Tax is assessed against Service Provider that is solely the responsibility of Recipient and Recipient desires to protest such assessment, Recipient will submit to Service Provider a statement of the issues and arguments requesting that Service Provider grant Recipient the authority to prosecute the protest in Service Provider's name. Service Provider's authorization will not be unreasonably withheld. Recipient will finance, manage, control and determine the strategy for such protest while keeping Service Provider reasonably informed of the proceedings. However, the authorization will be periodically reviewed by Service Provider to determine any adverse impact on Service Provider, and Service Provider will have the right to reasonably withdraw such authority at any time. Upon notice by Service Provider that it is so withdrawing such authority, Recipient will expeditiously terminate all proceedings. Any adverse consequences suffered by Recipient as a result of the withdrawal will be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Article XII. Any contest for Taxes brought by Recipient may not result in any lien attaching to any property or rights of Service Provider or otherwise jeopardize Service Provider's interests or rights in any of its property. Recipient agrees to indemnify Service Provider for all costs and expenses, losses, damages, claims, causes of action and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and expenses of litigation) that Service Provider incurs as a result of any such contest by Recipient.

(p)The provisions of this Section 5.06 will govern the treatment of all Taxes arising as a result of or in connection with this Agreement notwithstanding any other Article of this Agreement to the contrary.

ARTICLE VI.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Each of MSC and MPM agrees to comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any federal, state, county, city, local, supranational (including those of the European Communities) or foreign governmental, administrative or regulatory authority, agency or body in any jurisdiction in which such party conducts business in relation to the Services provided and matters that are the subject of this Agreement.

12.02 Exchange Of Written Statements. In the event of a dispute under this Agreement, either MSC or MPM, on the one hand, may give a notice to the other party requesting that the Steering Committee in good faith try to resolve (but without any obligation to resolve) such dispute. Not later than fifteen (15) days after said notice, each party shall submit to the other party a written statement setting forth such party's description of the dispute and of the respective positions of the parties on such dispute and such party's recommended resolution and the reasons why such party feels its recommended resolution is fair and equitable in light of the terms and spirit of this Agreement. Such statements represent part of a good-faith effort to resolve a dispute and as such, no statements prepared by a party pursuant to this Section 12.02 may be introduced as evidence or used as an admission against interest in any arbitral or judicial resolution of such dispute.

12.03 Good Faith Negotiations. If the dispute continues unresolved for a period of seven (7) days (or such longer period as the Steering Committee may otherwise agree upon) after the simultaneous exchange of such written statements, then the Steering Committee shall promptly commence good-faith negotiations to resolve such dispute but without any obligation to resolve it. Any such meeting may be conducted by teleconference.

12.04 Determination Of Steering Committee. Not later than thirty (30) days after the commencement of good-faith negotiations, if the Steering Committee renders an agreed resolution on the matter in dispute, then both MSC and MPM shall be bound thereby.

12.05 Disputes Submitted to Arbitration. Wherever any dispute arises between MSC and MPM, or among members of the Steering Committee, which is not otherwise resolved by the vote of a majority of the members of the Steering Committee or between the parties, the same shall be submitted to resolution by arbitration to be conducted in New York, New York, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Rules then in force and the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 12.06 through 12.09.

12.06 Selection of Arbitrators. Either party shall have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration by delivery of written notice to the other party stating that the party delivering such notice desires to have the then unresolved controversy between MSC and MPM reviewed by a board of three (3) arbitrators. Said notice shall also set forth the identity of the person selected by the notifying party as its arbitrator, and shall detail the dispute between the parties and such party's suggested resolution. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, the other party shall designate a person to act as arbitrator and shall notify the party requesting arbitration of such designation, the name and address of the person so designated, and the suggested resolution of such dispute by such party. The two (2) arbitrators designated as aforesaid shall promptly select a third arbitrator, and if they are not able to agree on such third arbitrator, then either arbitrator, on five (5) days' notice in writing to the other, or both arbitrators, shall apply to the local arbitration authority to designate and appoint such third arbitrator. The two arbitrators selected by the parties shall then notify MSC and MPM in writing promptly upon the selection of the third arbitrator. If the party upon whom such written request for arbitration is served shall fail to designate its arbitrator within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, then the suggested resolution of the dispute as set forth in the written notice delivered by the party requesting such arbitration shall become the resolution thereof, and shall be binding on MSC and MPM hereunder.

12.08 Decisions of Arbitrators. Following receipt of the written materials from each party, and not later than 60 days from the final hearing held in connection with such arbitration, the arbitrators shall render their decision, which decision shall adopt either the position of MSC or MPM as previously submitted to the arbitrators, in full, without revision or alteration thereof, and without compromise. If more than one issue shall be submitted to the same arbitrators for resolution, each such issue shall be deemed a separate arbitration for all purposes hereof, such issues to be identified separately by the parties in their submission to arbitration, and each such issue shall be subject to a separate decision by the arbitrators.

12.09 Arbitration is Binding. The decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be binding upon MSC and MPM and shall be

enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such decision and award may allocate the costs of such arbitration to one of the parties, equally or disproportionately between the parties.

In a scenario where the Parties have agreed to jointly pursue a commercial opportunity and the licensor Party has decided, in its sole discretion, that its participation in the joint opportunity will provide it with sufficient value, the licensor Party may decide, in its sole discretion, that a reasonable royalty is one dollar or other nominal amount. The Royalty Obligations may be agreed upon as part of a Development Program Form, an amendment to this Agreement or any other writing executed between the Parties.

1.24 “Shared Development Program Technology” means Development Program Technology that (i) did not evolve into MPM Work Product or MSC Work Product, (ii) is not Prior End-Use Work Product or (iii) does not meet the criteria set forth in Section 7.2(c)(i) through (v).

1.25 “Steering Committee” means the committee described in Section 6.2.

1.26 “Technology” means all tangible or intangible know-how, knowledge, concepts, procedures, schematics, trade secrets, technical information and data, ideas, processes, inventions, technology, discoveries, improvements, methods, compositions, formulae, techniques, test results, devices, designs, and/or manufacturing specifications and procedures, strategic business information, financial information, and any information regarding sources and prices for raw materials, subassemblies, parts and manufacturing services.

2. Agreement Subject Matter. It is expected that the Parties will be exchanging Confidential Information with each other: (i) during their mutual evaluation of potential opportunities to collaborate with each other in the commercial exploitation of their respective products and technologies, (ii) during any cooperative research and development of newly developed products and technologies, and (iii) during the commercial phase of any cooperative exploitation of a Party's products and/or technologies. In addition, it is expected that the Parties will also exchange Confidential Information during the planning for and delivery of services pursuant to that certain Shared Services Agreement, effective October 1, 2010, subscribed to by, among other parties, MPM and Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc. (predecessor company to MSC). Accordingly, this Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for the disclosure, receipt and use of the other Party's Confidential Information and also sets forth the terms and conditions for any cooperative development activities that the Parties may mutually decide to pursue. All of the activities and exchanges of Confidential Information described in this Section 2 shall be referred to as the “Purpose.” For the purpose of clarity, each Party will be engaging in activities to achieve the Purpose either by itself or with the assistance of, or through, one or more of its Affiliates. Therefore, the term “Party” (or “Parties”) or MPM or MSC in this Agreement shall mean the applicable Party and its respective Affiliates, as the context requires. As an exception, the foregoing shall not apply to Section 7.2 since it is intended that only MPM or MSC shall become owners of the subject matter, materials and/or products contemplated therein.

3. Development Program. During the life of this Agreement, it is anticipated that the Parties will meet from time to time to explore opportunities to collaborate with each other under a Development Program to develop new products and/or technology that could potentially benefit the Parties. If, as a result of these meetings, the Parties mutually agree to pursue a Development Program, the Parties will work in cooperation, through the Steering

Committee or as otherwise agreed by the Parties, to define goals and objectives of such Program and, thereafter, the scope of work, milestones and timelines of the Development Program. The Parties shall also define the roles and responsibilities of each Party, and nominate program leaders from each of their respective organizations, as further described in Section 6, who will work with each other to oversee and manage the establishment and implementation of the Development Program and jointly develop protocols for the exchange of experimental plans, technical program data and reporting periodic progress reviews. All of the foregoing activities, etc. will be described in a separate written Development Program Form, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (Development Program Form). Each Development Program Form shall be signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party and maintained by the Parties in a separate database and/or in the file where this Agreement is maintained. Each Party agrees to regularly share data and information generated as a result of each Development Program undertaken hereunder, and to promptly notify the other Party of any new Development Program Technology, including without limit, any Invention conceived or reduced to practice in the course of a Development Program. For the purpose of clarity, in the event that any joint development activity or initiative is carried out by the Parties and, in so doing, the Parties fail to complete and execute a Development Program Form, such activity will nevertheless be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such failure will not relieve a Party or the Parties from complying with this Agreement.

4. Information Sharing.

4.1 In order to coordinate and direct their respective research and development activities under any Development Program, the Parties, through their respective program leaders, will meet on a monthly basis, or as otherwise deemed necessary by the Parties. During these monthly meetings, the Parties will review the activities undertaken in connection with any ongoing Development Programs, report on the progress towards achieving any established goals and objectives and/or any perceived challenges or impediments to achieving such objectives, discuss the status of the scope of work and any associated milestones and timelines and make adjustments to the scope of work, milestones and/or timelines as deemed necessary or beneficial. It is expected that these monthly meetings will take place by telephone unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise.

4.2 The Parties shall jointly prepare a written report every three (3) months during the life of any Development Program that outlines all research and development activities that have transpired, the current status of such activities, any relevant conclusions, future activities under contemplation, and any proposed changes to the R & D scope, milestones and/or timelines. The report shall also include a clear explanation and documentation of any inventions, discoveries, improvements, etc. that have been made, as well as any conception records generated in the manner set forth in Section 7.9 (d).

5. Financial Terms. Unless otherwise decided by the Steering Committee and subsequently memorialized in a writing signed by the Parties' respective duly authorized representatives, the Parties shall bear their respective costs relating to performance under this Agreement without any financial obligation to the other and neither Party shall be entitled to any reimbursement from the other Party for costs it incurs in support of any Development Program.

6. Management of Joint Development Activities/Steering Committee.

6.1 Both MPM and MSC would each appoint one (1) individual from their respective organizations to act as a Program Leader for each Development Program that is pursued under this Agreement. The Program Leaders so appointed would be responsible for: (i) establishing an R & D team (composed of personnel having the requisite level of experience to properly and efficiently implement the Development Program); (ii) developing an R & D plan pursuant to the general guidelines set forth in Sections 2 and 3; (iii) overseeing the day-to-day management and implementation of the Development Program on behalf of MPM and MSC; and (iv) coordinating the exchange of routine Development Program-related communications between MPM and MSC. The Program Leaders would be further responsible for establishing a patent development strategy including, among other things, patent procurement targets, to protect all Development Program Technology. In addition, the Program Leaders will prepare an outline detailing proposed ownership of patents and patent applications, consistent with the ownership provisions of Section 7.2, that are likely to evolve from the Development Program on or before six (6) months from the date of commencement of the Development Program in question. This outline will, in turn, be reviewed by the Steering Committee and adopted or modified, as the Steering Committee deems appropriate. As a Development Program approaches its latter stages and the Parties have established an understanding of the potential value associated with the Development Program Technology and other work product resulting from a Development Program, the Program Leaders will prepare a proposed business model or value-sharing proposition for consideration by the Steering Committee. In the event that the Parties decide, by mutual agreement or Steering

Committee determination, that a particular Development Program would be executed and managed more efficiently by one of the Program Leaders due to his or her prior experience in the targeted subject matter area, the Parties, or the Steering Committee, may nominate one of the Program Leaders to serve as the managing Program Leader for that particular Development Program.

6.2 Both MPM and MSC would each appoint three (3) individuals from their respective organizations to form a Steering Committee; one (1) individual should be a senior-level representative selected from the marketing/commercial group, one (1) individual should be a senior-level representative selected from the technology group and the third individual can be selected as a Party deems appropriate. In general, the functions of the Steering Committee would be to provide strategic direction to the Program Leaders and make informed decisions regarding the direction, management and implementation of the Development Program(s). Each Party, in its sole discretion, would be permitted to change its own Steering Committee members by providing written notice to the other Party, along with an explanation of why the change is being made.

6.3The Steering Committee would meet in person at least two (2) times per year or as otherwise deemed necessary. The location of meetings would alternate between MPM and MSC host facilities. Alternatively, the Steering Committee, at its discretion, could conduct these meeting via telephone. Steering Committee decisions would become effective with a unanimous vote. Each member of the Steering Committee would have one (1) vote.

6.4 In addition to addressing the matters set forth in Sections 3, 5, 6.1, 6.2 and 7.2 (c), or by way of further clarifying such matters, the Steering Committee would consider and reach decisions on the following matters:

(a)Whether to accept, reject or modify R & D plans or Development Programs proposed by the Program Leaders;

(b)Whether to continue or modify ongoing Development Programs;

(c)Approve or reject key milestone events for Development Programs, as established by the Program Leaders, including anticipated deliverables and dates of completion and revise and/or add secondary milestones as necessary;

(d)Whether to procure resources that are needed from time to time in the execution of any Development Program;

(e)Discuss and decide upon commercialization options and strategies for exploiting any technologies, products, systems, materials and the like that result from work performed under a Development Program and provide specific guidance and direction to MPM and MSC for executing any established commercialization strategies; and

(f)Make reasonable determination of Royalty Obligations as contemplated under this Agreement.;

In the event that the Steering Committee is unable to reach a decision regarding the ownership of Development Program Technology and related Intellectual Property Rights resulting from Hybrid Work Product as contemplated in Section 7.2 (c) at the Steering Committee meeting that the particular ownership issue is presented for consideration, or within thirty (30) days thereafter should the Steering Committee decide that it needs more time to reach a definitive decision, then the Parties shall jointly own that Hybrid Work Product and such related Intellectual Property Rights until a definitive decision is reached, provided that, during any period of joint ownership, neither Party will (i) exercise such joint ownership in a way that is inconsistent with the intent and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) assign or transfer title to any such work product or Intellectual Property Rights without the other Party's express prior written consent, or (iii) license or otherwise provide such Hybrid Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights to any third party, including without limitation any competitor of the other Party or any infringer or potential infringer which the other Party is pursuing or plans to pursue. In the event that a definitive decision is reached with respect to the ownership of the subject Hybrid Work Product and related Intellectual Property Rights derived from Development Program Technology, the owning party will own such Hybrid Work Product and such related Intellectual Property Rights under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that a definitive decision assigning ownership of any Hybrid Work Product and related Intellectual Property Rights derived from Development Program Technology to one of the Parties is never reached, then the Parties will continue to jointly own such Hybrid Work Product and related Intellectual Property Rights derived from Development Program Technology subject to the terms of this Section 7.2 (d).

(e) Other Ownership Provisions. As between the Parties, the Previously Commercialized Party shall own all Development Program Technology relating to the Prior End-Use Work Product in the end-use application that it has commercialized prior to the Effective Date. An owner of Prior End-Use Work Product shall also own all of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Development Program Technology derived from that Prior End-Use Work Product and the non-owning Party hereby assigns to the owning Party the entire right, title and interest in and to that Prior End-Use Work Product, including without limit, any Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights in the Development Program Technology associated with or applicable to such Prior End-Use Work Product.

7.3 Research Licenses.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party hereby grants to the other Party and

its Affiliates, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, revocable, limited license to use, during the term of this Agreement, the Independent Technology of the owner Party, solely to permit the other Party's (by itself and/or through its Affiliates') performance of research and development activities in connection with the execution and implementation of any Development Program under this Agreement and/or to pursue by itself, with no third Person (not including Affiliates) involvement, independent, internal research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement. In the event that a Party's and/or its Affiliates' (“Licensor Party”) Independent Technology is used under the license granted in this Section 7.3 (a) by the other Party and/or its Affiliates (“Licensee Party”) to pursue independent research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement and such initiatives result in the creation or development of any Invention and/or Technology, the Licensee Party hereby grants and agrees to grant to the Licensor Party, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license under such Invention and/or Technology, as well as any Intellectual Property Rights derived from such Invention and/or Technology.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, revocable, limited license to use, during the term of this Agreement, the Intellectual Property Rights derived from the Development Program Technology directly related to the MPM Work Product, MSC Work Product, Hybrid Work Product and Prior End-Use Work Product (as the case may be) of the owner Party, solely to permit the other Party's performance (by itself and/or through its Affiliates) of research and development activities in connection with the execution and implementation of any Development Program under this Agreement and/or to pursue by itself, with no third Person (not including Affiliates) involvement, independent, internal research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement. In the event that a Party's and/or its Affiliates' (“Licensor Party”) Independent Technology is used under the license granted in this Section 7.3 (b) by the other Party and/or its Affiliate (“Licensee Party”) to pursue independent research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement and such initiatives result in the creation or development of any Invention and/or Technology, the Licensee Party hereby grants and agrees to grant to the Licensor Party, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license under such Invention and/or Technology, as well as any Intellectual Property Rights derived from such Invention and/or Technology

7.4 Commercial Principles.

Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, implement and follow collaborative strategies for the commercialization of any MSC Material, MPM Material and/or Hybrid Product. The purpose of the foregoing obligation is to provide each Party with an equitable and balanced opportunity to derive value and monetary return from opportunities that might result from any work or collaboration done under this Agreement. One component of any evaluation of a collaborative commercial strategy will include an analysis of the value proposition associated with the joint pursuit of a commercial opportunity by the Parties. One such consideration is the Royalty Obligations that would be associated with the commercial licenses granted under Sections 7.5 through 7.8, which will be negotiated and agreed to by the respective representatives of the Parties through the Steering Committe in arm's-length good faith negotiations. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the agreement on the Royalty Obligations is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the commercial licenses granted under Sections 7.5 through 7.8 and the licensee Party will pay the Royalty Obligations during the term of such licenses. It is expected that the Steering Committee members will play a primary role in fulfilling the obligations under this Section 7.4 on behalf of their respective organizations. If, after using commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy these obligations, the Parties decide that it is not commercially feasible or desirable to pursue a commercial opportunity jointly, each Party shall be permitted to separately pursue the opportunity. For the purpose of clarity, the Parties do not intend for anything contained in this Section 7.4 to create any partnership, agency, joint venture or the like between the Parties. Indeed, the Parties intend, at all times, to maintain their separate legal identities as they work together under this Agreement.

7.5 MPM Licenses To MSC.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the payment of applicable Royalty Obligations by MSC, MPM agrees to grant and does hereby grant to MSC and its Affiliates, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, a nonexclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide, revocable license under its Intellectual Property Rights derived from, and only from, MPM Work Product to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell and import MSC Materials and/or Hybrid Products, provided that this license shall not become effective and MSC shall not actually have any licensed rights under this Section 7.5 (a) until the applicable Royalty Obligations have been agreed to by the Parties as provided in Section 7.5.

Each Party agrees not to enforce any infringement claim of the Intellectual Property Rights licensed under this Section 7.7 (a) based on a use of Hybrid products by a customer who purchases Hybrid Products from the licensee Party.

7.8 Other Additional License. While the Parties have endeavored to include all licensing arrangements in this Agreement that are deemed necessary or desirable to allow each Party to conduct the activities contemplated in this Agreement or as a result of this Agreement, the Parties recognize that there may be a need to subsequently establish other licensing arrangements between the Parties. In the event that a Party decides that it is necessary or desirable to enter into one or more licensing arrangements not included in this Agreement, each Party agrees to enter into good faith negotiations with each other for such licenses. Any additional licenses shall only become effective by way of a written amendment to this Agreement signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party.

7.9 Patent Procurement Procedures.

(a) An owner of the MPM Work Product, MSC Work Product, Hybrid Work Product and Prior End-Use Work Product, as set forth above, shall have the right, in its own discretion, to file patent applications in the United States and in any country of the world outside the United States in its own name. Each Party, at the request of the other Party, shall exercise reasonable efforts to support the filing of patent applications by the other Party in their respective technical fields of ownership. Such efforts shall include support by inventors and execution of all legal documents (applications, assignments and declarations). All costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications owned by a Party, and of maintaining such Patents, shall be borne by said Party. In the event a Party decides against filing a patent application directed to any Development Program Technology that it owns under this Agreement and, additionally, the owning Party does not wish to maintain such Development Program Technology as a trade secret, the other non-owning Party shall have the right to take ownership of such Development Program Technology for no additional consideration, and agrees that it shall bear all costs associated with the procurement and maintenance of any patents. Analogously, if the owner of a patent directed to Development Program Technology resulting from this Agreement is no longer interested in maintaining such patent, the owner will provide the other Party with reasonable advanced notice of its intent to allow the patent to lapse to give the other Party the opportunity to pay the maintenance fees and assume ownership of the patent in question for no additional consideration. Also, if a Party decides against filing a patent application directed to Development Program Technology in a particular country or countries that are of interest to the other Party, the owning Party will allow the other Party to effectuate the filings in those other countries, at the other Party's expense, and the other Party will assume ownership of that patent application and any patent(s) issuing therefrom without the need to pay any additional consideration. In the event that a transfer by one Party to the other Party occurs under this Section 7.9 (a), the transferor shall retain a royalty-free, worldwide, nonexclusive, irrevocable license under the transferred Development Program Technology and/or Intellectual Property Rights in question.

(b) In those instances where each Party will be filing a patent application that will disclose and/or claim subject matter that is related or similar to the subject matter presented in the other Party's patent application, the Parties agree to file their respective priority patent applications on the same day. In order to facilitate and execute this requirement, the Parties' patent counsel will coordinate and implement the appropriate actions.

(c) The Parties agree that when filing patent applications directed to their respective areas of technical subject matter, they will not claim subject matter owned by the other Party, without receiving the other Party's written consent.

(d) A separate record of conception shall be prepared for each invention relating to Technology conceived under any Development Program. Each conception record shall include a proper description of the conceived invention. The conception record shall also include a description of an operative method of making the invention (where appropriate), as well as a description of the utility of the invention. The conception record, including the foregoing descriptions, shall be read by one having a level of skill in the art in the technical field in question required to understand the substance of such record (“Corroborating Witness”). Finally, the conception record shall be signed and dated by the person(s) who conceived the invention and by the Corroborating Witness. Subject to Section 8 (where appropriate), a copy of each conception record generated under this Agreement shall be provided

to the other Party for review, along with the written reports contemplated in Section 4.2.

(e) The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement is and shall be treated as a “joint research agreement” within the meaning of Title 35 U.S.C. §103(c). The Parties agree to permit one another the right to disclose to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) and other foreign patent prosecution offices, where appropriate or necessary, the existence and identifying information of patent applications that are filed by the other Party; and the existence of this Agreement.

(f) While either Party may rely upon Title 35 U.S.C. §103(c) to overcome a prior art issue or to overcome a rejection imposed by the USPTO, so that the Party disqualifies the other Party's patent or patent application as prior art, the Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to traverse a rejection by the USPTO without resorting to Title 35 U.S.C. §103(c). Should a Party ultimately elect, at its sole option and discretion, to rely upon Title 35 U.S.C. §103(c), the Parties shall cooperate in obtaining and filing any and all required papers, documents, approvals, consents and/or authorizations and including amending patent applications to identify the Parties as necessary to take advantage of Title 35 U.S.C. §103(c).

(g) The Parties agree that, if a double patenting issue arises in either a reexamination proceeding, an issued patent, or in a patent application that has been filed under this Agreement, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to address the issue without filing a terminal disclaimer. However, if a Party ultimately determines, at its sole option and discretion, that the best course of action for that Party is to file a terminal disclaimer, the Parties agree to sign, and otherwise cooperate in the execution and filing, of a terminal disclaimer that complies with 37 C.F.R. §1.321, and any other similar USPTO rule or regulation then in effect. The Parties recognize that filing such a terminal disclaimer prohibits the Parties from separately enforcing the U.S. patents that issue from the involved applications or the involved patents (hereinafter collectively “Involved U.S. Patents”). Should issues of enforcement arise with respect to the Involved U.S. Patents, the Parties agree to discuss, in good faith, terms and conditions for jointly enforcing such Involved U.S. Patents.

7.10 Further Acts and Assistance. The Parties agree to perform, during and after the term of this Agreement, all customary acts that are reasonably necessary or desirable to permit and assist the other in obtaining, perfecting and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title in the Intellectual Property assigned to the other Party under this Agreement. In the event that it becomes necessary to compensate any employee of MSC or MPM who invented any Invention or Intellectual Property Rights, both MPM and MSC shall be obligated to compensate its own employees and shall have no obligation to compensate any of the other Party's employees.

8. Confidential Information.

8.1 Each Party will maintain in strict confidence all Confidential Information received from the other Party. Each Party agrees that it will not use, disclose to any third Person or grant use of such Confidential Information except to the extent required to achieve the Purpose or as otherwise authorized in advance by the other Party in writing. Each Party agrees to use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature to ensure that its employees do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of such Confidential Information, but in no case less than a reasonable standard of care. Each Party will disclose the other Party's Confidential Information only to those of such Party's employees, and subject to the other Party's prior written approval, consultants and contractors who need to know such information to assist the Party in achieving the Purpose. Each Party certifies that each such employee, consultant and contractor will have agreed in writing, either as a condition to employment or in order to obtain the other Party's Confidential Information, to be bound by confidentiality terms and conditions substantially similar to those terms and conditions applicable to each Party under this Agreement. Each Party guarantees that any of its employees, consultants, contractors, etc. that receive the other Party's Confidential Information hereunder will abide by the confidentiality and limited use obligations undertaken by a receiving Party under this Agreement. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of such Party's Confidential Information.

8.2 The Parties agree that the existence of this Agreement and its terms will also be considered Confidential Information and agree not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to a third Person without the prior written consent of the other Party, except (i) as required to enforce the terms of this Agreement, (ii) to financial institutions, accountants, advisors and counsel or (iii) as required by statute, regulation or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction. A disclosure of any Confidential Information (i) in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body or (ii) as otherwise required by law will not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement or a waiver of confidentiality for other purposes; provided, however, that the Party making such disclosure will provide prompt prior written notice thereof to the owner Party to enable the owner Party to seek a protective order

or otherwise prevent such disclosure.

8.3 The foregoing obligations of confidentiality in this Section 8 will not apply to the extent that it can be established by the receiving Party by competent proof that such Confidential Information: (i) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of disclosure to the receiving Party; (ii) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after the owner Party disclosed such information to the receiving Party, other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Section 8, or (iii) was independently created or developed by such Party without reference to the Confidential Information of the other Party.

8.4 A Party that receives product or material samples from the other Party shall not reverse engineer or analyze samples for chemical or structural composition without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party. The results of all analyses of samples will be regarded as Confidential Information of the disclosing Party and will be treated by the receiving Party with the same strict confidentiality and restrictions on limited-use and disclosure as the other Confidential Information referred to above. The receiving Party will provide the disclosing Party with a written summary of these analyses.

8.5 Publicity. Except as otherwise expressed in this Agreement, neither Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other, make any news release, public announcement, or other disclosure to any third Person or any public denial or public confirmation of the existence of this Agreement, any disclosure of the Parties' working together or any other fact concerning, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the terms or provisions hereof or any subsequent arrangement(s) between the Parties concerning any activities hereunder. Each Party additionally agrees that the name of the other Party, and their respective employees' names, will not be used for purposes of advertising or publicity without the other Party's prior written consent.

8.6 Publications. Each Party additionally agrees that in order to safeguard patent rights, each Party, upon the request of the other, will delay any public disclosure of any Invention generated in the course of a Development Program under this Agreement for a time period of up to three (3) months from the date of disclosure to the other Party in order to permit the filing of patent application(s). Each Party agrees to disclose the filing of any patent application arising from this Agreement to the other, permit the other Party's review thereof, and to cooperate in the filing of any such patent applications desired by the disclosing Party as set forth in Section 7.9 hereof. Should any such patent application of one Party contain any Confidential Information of the other Party, then the Parties will resolve prior to filing whether such information is to be deleted from such application before its filing.

9. Warranties and Liability.

9.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, TECHNOLOGY, DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WORK PRODUCT, INDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGY, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS AND THE LIKE, OR ANY PORTION OF COMPONENT THEREOF.

9.2 IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY BE LIABLE FOR OR OBLIGATED IN ANY MANNER TO PAY ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY OF ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES FOR BREACH OF ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

10. Term and Termination.

10.1 Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3, this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of twenty (20) years, which term may be extended by the Parties upon mutual written agreement.

10.2 Termination for Cause. If either Party materially breaches this Agreement, the non-breaching may terminate this Agreement or, if applicable, a particular Development Program, by written notice; provided, however, that the written notice clearly describes the nature of the alleged breach, the events and circumstances that gave rise to the alleged breach and a clear explanation of whether this Agreement, a particular Development Program or

both are being terminated. No termination under this Section 10.2 will be effective until the non-breaching Party provides written notice of such breach to the other Party and such Party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such notice. Any termination shall become effective at the expiration of such thirty (30) day notice period. Notice of termination for cause will be in writing and sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. If a particular Development Program is terminated without the termination of the entire Agreement, this Agreement will be terminated only with respect to such Development Program and will remain in effect with respect to the then outstanding Development Programs in accordance with their terms and or any other Development Programs the Parties decide to pursue under this Agreement.

10.3 Termination for Change of Control. If a Party undergoes a Change of Control, unless such event has been consented to in writing by the other Party under Section 12.2, the other Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice.

10.4 Effect of Termination.

(a) Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, all rights and obligations granted to either Party under this Agreement will immediately terminate, except as provided in Section 10.5 and that Sections 8 and 9 will survive in accordance with their terms. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party will cease all use of and return the other Party's property and Confidential Information, except for one archival copy or to the extent such property or Confidential Information is needed to be retained for a Party to exercise any surviving rights provided under Section 10.5.

(b) There may be one or more Development Programs pending at the time when notice of termination of this Agreement is first given. As of the date of receipt of that notice, each Party may decide to discontinue disclosing Confidential Information relating to its Independent Technology to the other Party for the pending Development Programs; however, except in the case of a termination the Development Program in question or the entire Agreement, the Parties agree to work together diligently to bring each pending Development Program to a logical and orderly close. Among other things, the Parties shall meet promptly thereafter in order to (a) prioritize work during the remaining term of each Development Project, and (b) agree upon a reasonable time frame for the Parties to diligently complete such Development Programs on which the Parties are close to completion. The Parties agree that their cooperative efforts from that time forward shall be focused to accomplish the agreed work, even if the work extends for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days beyond the noticed termination date.

10.5 Survival. Nothing herein shall be construed to release any liability or obligation of either Party to the other for acts or omissions prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) If a Party receiving commercial licenses under Sections 7.5 through 7.8 (“Licensee Party”) terminates under Section 10.2 for the uncured material breach of a Party granting licenses under those Sections (“Licensor Party), the licenses and rights granted under those Sections will survive any such termination in accordance with their terms, provided that the Licensee Party continues to pay Royalty Obligations for such licenses. Any such licenses and rights shall survive for a period that is co-extensive with the last to expire Intellectual Property Right subject to the license in question.

(b) If Licensor Party terminates under Section 10.2 for Licensee Party's uncured material breach, then:

(i)The commercial licenses granted under Sections 7.5 through 7.8 will terminate and be of no further force and effect except that Licensee Party may continue to exercise such licenses solely as necessary to (A) continue to sell any inventory of products related to such licenses, and to manufacture and sell all products related to such licenses that are then in the process of being manufactured, for a period of no longer than six (6) months after the effective date of termination, and (B) to meet Licensee Party's then-existing (as of the effective date of termination) contractual obligations to third parties, for a period of no longer than [twelve (12)] months after the effective date of termination, subject to payment of applicable Royalty Obligations for such licenses; and

(ii)Upon the end of the applicable period set forth in Section 11.5(b)(i), each sublicense previously granted by Licensee Party or any Affiliate of such Licensee Party under this Agreement shall remain in effect and shall become a direct license of such rights by Licensor Party to such sublicensee, subject to such sublicensee agreeing in writing to assume Licensee Party's terms, conditions and obligations to Licensor Party under this Agreement as they pertain to the sublicensed rights.

(c) Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not relieve either Party from its payment obligations hereunder for any charges, payments or expenses due to the other Party that accrued prior to the termination or

expiration date, and such amounts (if not otherwise due on an earlier date or disputed in good faith) shall be immediately due and payable on the termination or expiration date.

of a more general representation, warranty or covenant.

11.6 Independent Contractors.

11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute under this Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York without regard to any of its conflict of laws principles.

11.9 Survival. Subject to section 10.5, any provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after termination of this Agreement, which are provisions that by their nature or purpose are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement.,

11.10 Entire Understanding. This Agreement and the attached exhibits set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect to the transactions contemplated and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, representations, term sheets and understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only in a writing signed by respective officers of the Parties. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person, other than the signing Parties, any rights or remedies.
