to any specified Person shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other interests, by Contract or otherwise. It is expressly agreed that no Party or member of either Group shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group solely by reason of having one or more directors in common or by reason of having been under common control of Honeywell or Honeywell’s stockholders prior to, or in case of SpinCo’s stockholders, after the Effective Time.

For clarity, except as set forth in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall not obligate either Party to disclose to the other Party, or maintain, register, prosecute, pay for or offer to pay for (including by offering remuneration to any inventors), enforce, defend or otherwise manage any Intellectual Property. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require any delivery of any technology, documentation or other tangible items by any Party or any of their Affiliates to any other Person or to require any support or maintenance obligations whatsoever on the part of any Party.

Section 4.3Defense and Enforcement.

(b) Cooperation. If, in connection with enforcing any Licensed IP against any Third Party Infringement in accordance with Section 4.3(a), Licensor brings (or defends) an Action or enters into settlement discussions with respect thereto, Licensee shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith at Licensor’s reasonable request, and Licensee shall be reimbursed by Licensor for its reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

(c) Recoveries. Any and all amounts recovered by Licensor in any Action regarding a Third Party Infringement or settlement with respect thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed (including in an agreement in connection with obtaining consent to settlement), be retained by Licensor.

(d) Interferences, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, in the event that any Third Party allegations of invalidity or unenforceability of any Patents included in the Licensed IP licensed to Licensee hereunder arise in an opposition, interference, reissue proceeding, reexamination or other patent office proceeding, this Article IV shall govern the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect thereto.

(e) Licensee Challenges. During the Term, neither Licensee nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of its Sublicensees, shall institute or actively participate as an adverse party in, or otherwise provide support to, any Action to invalidate or limit the scope of any Patent of the other Party or its Affiliates included in the Licensed IP or obtain a ruling that any such Patent claim is unenforceable or not patentable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither Licensee or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees shall be in breach of this Section 4.3(e) to the extent they provide information in accordance with a legal requirement (as advised by legal counsel) in response to a subpoena, court order or other similar lawful process. In the event Licensee or any of its Affiliates breaches this Section 4.3(e), Licensor (i) shall have the right to, upon written notice to Licensee, terminate the licenses granted to Licensee hereunder, and (ii) shall be entitled to recover from Licensee any costs arising from such a challenge, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation and defense incurred in the course of participating in or defending the challenge.

Each Party and its Affiliates that receives, obtains or otherwise become aware of under or in connection with this Agreement (the “Receiving Party”) any Confidential Information of the other Party or its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”), respectively, agrees to (a) keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential, (b) use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only as necessary to perform its obligations, exercise its rights under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with a Dispute, (c) use a reasonable degree of care in keeping the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential, and (d) limit access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its personnel, Affiliates, assignees, contractors, subcontractors, Sublicensees, authorized representatives and advisors (including any financial, tax, legal and technical advisors), in each case, who have a need to access or know such Confidential Information for the purpose of performing its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement and who have been apprised of these confidentiality obligations, and with respect to any such Third Party, have agreed to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder (and, for clarity, the Receiving Party shall remain responsible to the Disclosing Party for the compliance with such confidentiality obligations of its personnel, Affiliates and such Third Parties who receive such Confidential Information). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to grant to the Receiving Party any rights in or to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

Section 6.3 Disclosure Required by Law. In the event that the Receiving Party is requested or required by Law (including subpoena or court order) to disclose any Confidential Information of

the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide prompt written notice to the Disclosing Party of such request or requirement, so that the Disclosing Party will have a reasonable opportunity to seek confidential treatment of such Confidential Information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise) and, upon request, the Receiving Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking confidential treatment of such Confidential Information or other appropriate relief from such Law. If, in the absence of a protective order, other confidential treatment or waiver under this Agreement, the Receiving Party is advised by its legal counsel that it is legally required to disclose such Confidential Information, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information without liability under this Article VI; provided, that the Receiving Party exercises commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be afforded any such Confidential Information prior to its disclosure and discloses only the minimum amount of such Confidential Information necessary to comply with such Law. Similarly, with respect to any disclosure of Confidential Information in connection with a Dispute, the Receiving Party shall

exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be afforded any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party prior to its disclosure.

Section 6.4 Disclosure in Connection with Due Diligence. The terms of this Agreement shall be the Confidential Information of both Parties. A Party may provide this Agreement to any Third Party, subject to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth in this Article VI, if required to do so in connection with any diligence for any actual or potential bona fide business transaction with such Third Party related to the subject matter of this Agreement (including an acquisition, divestiture, merger, consolidation, asset sale, financing or public offering).

ARTICLE VII

Section 8.5 Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived, if and only if, such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Any consent required or permitted to be given by any Party to the other Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Party giving such consent and shall be effective only against such Party (and the members of its Group).

Section 8.6 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto signed by each of the Parties.

Section 8.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by either of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent may be granted or withheld in such other Party’s sole discretion); provided, that such first Party may assign or transfer, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement to (a) one or more of its Affiliates and (b) the successor to all or a portion of the business or assets to which this Agreement relates; provided, further, that (i) the assigning or transferring Party shall promptly notify the non-assigning or non-transferring Party in writing of any assignments or transfers it makes under the foregoing clause (b) and (ii) in either case of the foregoing clauses (a) or (b), the party to whom this Agreement is assigned or transferred shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if named as a “Party” hereto with respect to all or such portion of this Agreement so assigned or transferred. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.7 shall be void ab initio. No assignment or transfer shall relieve the assigning or transferring Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement that accrued prior to such assignment or transfer unless agreed to by the non-assigning or non-transferring Party. If either Party or any of its Affiliates assigns any of the Licensed IP, such assignment shall be subject to the licenses granted to such Intellectual Property under this Agreement and the assignee of such Licensed IP shall be deemed to assume the applicable obligations under this Agreement automatically with respect thereto.

Section 8.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights hereunder shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns.

Section 8.9 No Circumvention. The Parties agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions, act in concert with any Person who takes an action, or cause or allow any member of any such Party’s Group to take any actions (including the failure to take a reasonable action) such that the resulting effect is to materially undermine the effectiveness of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party after the Effective Date.

Section 8.11 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of, and is only enforceable by, the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, benefit, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 8.12 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.13 Governing Law. This Agreement, including all matters of construction, validity, interpretation, performance and enforceability, and any dispute arising directly or indirectly out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Section 8.14 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breach this Agreement and the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Damages. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Date, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party or Parties to this Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII (including for the avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 8.15 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon a determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.16 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances.

Section 8.17 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by a Licensor are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code regardless of the form or type of intellectual property under or to which such rights and licenses are granted and regardless of whether the intellectual property is registered in or otherwise recognized by or applicable to the United States of America or any other country or jurisdiction. The Parties agree that each Licensee will retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
