On or prior to the Transfer Effective Time, but in any case prior to the Internal Distribution, GCP and the applicable GCP Designees shall accept, assume, and agree to faithfully perform, discharge, and fulfill all of the Liabilities referenced herein, in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered a GCP Liability), regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the Transfer Effective Time, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Liabilities arising out of claims made by Grace’s or GCP’s respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates against any member of the Grace Group or the GCP Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud, or misrepresentation by any member of the Grace Group or the GCP Group, or any of their respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates:

(i)any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation (as the same may be modified by this Agreement), equity compensation (as the same may be modified by this Agreement), commissions, bonuses, and any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any GCP Group Employees and Former GCP Group Employees after the Transfer Effective Time, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses, or other employee compensation or benefits are or may have been awarded or earned;

(ii)any and all Liabilities whatsoever with respect to claims made by or with respect to any GCP Group Employees or Former GCP Group Employees in connection with any Benefit Plan not retained or assumed by any member of the Grace Group pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement; and

(iii)any and all Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by any member of the GCP Group pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)Acceptance and Assumption of Grace Liabilities. On or prior to the Transfer Effective Time, but in any case prior to the Internal Distribution, Grace and certain members of

-11-

the Grace Group designated by Grace shall accept, assume, and agree to faithfully perform, discharge, and fulfill all of the Liabilities referenced herein, in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered a Grace Liability), regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the Transfer Effective Time, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Liabilities arising out of claims made by Grace’s or GCP’s respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates against any member of the Grace Group or the GCP Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud, or misrepresentation by any member of the Grace Group or the GCP Group, or any of their respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates:

(i)any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation (as the same may be modified by this Agreement), equity compensation (as the same may be modified by this Agreement), commissions, bonuses, and any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any Grace Group Employees and Former Grace Group Employees after the Transfer Effective Time, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses, or other employee compensation or benefits are or may have been awarded or earned;

(ii)any and all Liabilities whatsoever with respect to claims made by or with respect to any Grace Group Employees or Former Grace Group Employees in connection with any Benefit Plan not retained or assumed by any member of the GCP Group pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement; and

(iii)any and all Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by any member of the Grace Group pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)Unaddressed Liabilities. To the extent that this Agreement does not address particular Liabilities under any Benefit Plan and the Parties later determine that they should be allocated in connection with the Distribution, the Parties shall agree in good faith on the allocation, taking into account the handling of comparable Liabilities under this Agreement.

Section 2.02. Service Credit.

(a)Service for Eligibility, Vesting, and Benefit Purposes. The GCP Benefit Plans shall, and GCP shall cause each member of the GCP Group to, recognize each GCP Group Employee’s and each Former GCP Group Employee’s full service with Grace or any of its Subsidiaries or predecessor entities at or before the Effective Time, to the same extent that such service was credited by Grace for similar purposes prior to the Effective Time as if such full service had been performed for a member of the GCP Group, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and determination of level of benefits under any such GCP Benefit Plan.

(b)Evidence of Prior Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 3.02 and applicable Law, upon reasonable request by either Party (the “Requesting Party”), the other Party (the “Providing Party”) will provide to the Requesting Party copies of any records available to the Providing Party to document the service, plan participation, and membership of Former Employees of the Providing Party who are then

-12-

Employees of the Requesting Party, and will, upon reasonable request, cooperate with the Requesting Party to resolve any discrepancies and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any missing data for purposes of determining benefit eligibility, participation, vesting, and calculation of benefits with respect to any such Employee.

Section 2.03. Benefit Plans.

(a)Establishment of Plans. Before the Transfer Effective Time, GCP shall, or shall cause an applicable member of the GCP Group to, adopt Benefit Plans (and related trusts, if applicable), with terms comparable (or such other standard as is specified in this Agreement with respect to any particular Benefit Plan) to those of the corresponding Grace Benefit Plans; provided, however, that GCP may limit participation in any such GCP Benefit Plan to GCP Group Employees and Former GCP Group Employees who participated or were eligible to participate in the corresponding Grace Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Transfer Effective Time.

(b)Information and Operation. Grace shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide GCP with information describing each Grace Benefit Plan election made by a GCP Group Employee or Former GCP Group Employee that may have application to GCP Benefit Plans from and after the Transfer Effective Time, and GCP shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to administer the GCP Benefit Plans using those elections. Each Party shall, upon reasonable request, provide the other Party and the other Party’s respective Affiliates, agents, and vendors all information reasonably necessary to the other Party’s operation or administration of its Benefit Plans.

(c)No Duplication or Acceleration of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement, no participant in any GCP Benefit Plan or Grace Benefit Plan shall receive service credit or benefits to the extent that receipt of such service credit or benefits would result in duplication of benefits provided to such participant by the corresponding Grace Benefit Plan or GCP Benefit Plan, respectively, or any other plan, program, or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the Grace Group or GCP Group, respectively. Furthermore, unless expressly provided for in this Agreement, in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or in any Ancillary Agreement, or required by applicable Law, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to accelerate vesting or entitlements under any compensation or Benefit Plan, program, or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the Grace Group or member of the GCP Group on the part of any Employee or Former Employee.

ASSIGNMENT OF EMPLOYEES

Section 3.01. Active Employees.

(a)Assignment and Transfer of Employees.

(i)Generally. Effective no later than immediately prior to the Transfer Effective Time and except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, (A) the applicable member of the Grace Group shall have taken such actions as are necessary to ensure that each individual who is intended to be an employee of the GCP Group as of immediately after the Transfer Effective Time (including any such individual who is not actively working as of the Transfer Effective Time as a result of an illness, injury, or leave of absence approved by the Chief Human Resources Officer of Grace or otherwise taken in accordance with applicable Law) (collectively, the “GCP Group Employees”) is employed by a member of the GCP Group as of immediately after the Transfer Effective Time, and (B) the applicable member of the Grace Group shall have taken such actions as are necessary to ensure that each individual who is intended to be an employee of the Grace Group as of immediately after the Transfer Effective Time (including any such individual who is not actively working as of the Transfer Effective Time as a result of an illness, injury, or leave of absence approved by the Chief Human Resources Officer of Grace or otherwise taken in accordance with applicable Law) and any other individual employed by the Grace Group as of the Transfer Effective Time who is not a GCP Group Employee (collectively, the “Grace Group Employees”) is employed by a member of the Grace Group as of immediately after the Transfer Effective Time. Each of the Parties agrees to execute, and to seek to have the applicable Employees execute, such documentation, if any, as may be necessary to reflect such assignment and/or transfer.

(ii)Delayed Transfer Employees. Notwithstanding Section 3.01(a)(i), the Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) there may be a limited number of Grace Group Employees whose employment may, within the 18-month period following the Transfer Effective Time (the “Delayed Transfer Period”), be directly transferred from the Grace Group to the GCP Group (“GCP Delayed Transfer Employees”), and (B) there may be a limited number of GCP Group Employees whose employment may, within the Delayed Transfer Period, be directly transferred from the GCP Group to the Grace Group (“Grace Delayed Transfer Employees” and together with the GCP Delayed Transfer Employees, the “Delayed Transfer Employees”), in each case, as mutually agreed between the Chief Human Resources Officer of Grace and the Chief Human Resources Officer of GCP. Upon the effective date of any such transfer of employment

-15-

(a “Delayed Transfer Date”), any Delayed Transfer Employee shall be treated, for all purposes under this Agreement as if such Delayed Transfer Employee had been a GCP Group Employee or Grace Group Employee, respectively, as of the Transfer Effective Time, other than with respect to any Grace Awards held by any Delayed Transfer Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which awards shall be adjusted in the manner applicable to Grace Group Employees (in the case of GCP Delayed Transfer Employees) or GCP Group Employees (in the case of Grace Delayed Transfer Employees) as of the Effective Time in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and shall not be required under this Agreement to be adjusted further upon the Delayed Transfer Date.

(b)At-Will Status. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of any member of the Grace Group or any member of the GCP Group to (i) continue the employment of any Employee or permit the return from a leave of absence for any period after the date of this Agreement (except as required by applicable Law) or (ii) change the employment status of any Employee from “at-will,” to the extent that such Employee is an “at-will” employee under applicable Law.

(c)Severance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Distribution and the assignment, transfer, or continuation of the employment of Employees as contemplated by this Section 3.01 shall not be deemed an involuntary termination of employment entitling any GCP Group Employee or Grace Group Employee to severance payments or benefits except as required by applicable Law.

(d)No Change of Control or Change in Control. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the consummation of the Distribution nor any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any other Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed a “change of control,” “change in control,” or term of similar import for purposes of any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by any member of the Grace Group or member of the GCP Group.

(e)Payroll and Related Taxes. With respect to any GCP Group Employee or group of GCP Group Employees, the Parties shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, (i) treat GCP (or the applicable member of the GCP Group) as a “successor employer” and Grace (or the applicable member of the Grace Group) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, for purposes of taxes imposed under the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended (“FICA”), or the U.S. Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended (“FUTA”), (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the restart of FICA and FUTA upon or following the Effective Time with respect to each such GCP Group Employee for the tax year during which the Effective Time occurs, and (iii) use commercially reasonably efforts to implement the alternate procedure described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53; provided, however, that, to the extent that GCP (or the applicable member of the GCP Group) cannot be treated as a “successor employer” to Grace (or the applicable member of the Grace Group) within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code with respect to any GCP Group Employee or group of GCP Group Employees, GCP will (A) be responsible for all payroll obligations, tax withholding, and reporting obligations regarding such GCP Group Employees for the taxable year commencing on January 1, 2016 and (B) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement to all such GCP Group Employees for such taxable year. The Parties also shall take, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to take, such reasonable actions as are necessary to minimize any adverse social tax

-16-

impact on Grace, GCP, and the Employees in jurisdictions other than the U.S., of the Separation, the Distribution, and any change in employment relationship caused by the Separation and Distribution.

(f)Immigration. From and after the Effective Time, GCP shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, continue to process and support green card or similar applications that are in process in respect of GCP Group Employees identified in the schedule previously provided to GCP by Grace.

Section 3.02. No-Hire and Nonsolicitation.

(a)No-Hire. Each Party agrees that, for a period of 18 months following the Distribution Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Party shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Chief Human Resources Officer of the other Party, directly or indirectly hire as an employee or an independent contractor any individual who is a Grace Group Employee, in the case of GCP, or a GCP Group Employee, in the case of Grace.

(b)Nonsolicitation. Each Party agrees that, during the Restricted Period, such Party shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, without prior written consent of the Chief Human Resources Officer of the other Party, either directly or indirectly and whether on its own behalf or in service or on behalf of others, solicit, aid, induce, or encourage any individual who is a Grace Group Employee, in the case of GCP, or a GCP Group Employee, in the case of Grace, to leave his or her employment.

(c)Limited Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 3.02(a) and Section 3.02(b), this Section 3.02 shall not prohibit (i) generalized solicitations that are not directed to specific Persons or Employees of the other Party, (ii) the solicitation and hiring of a Person whose employment was involuntarily terminated by the other Party, or (iii) the solicitation and hiring of a Person after receipt by the soliciting Party (in advance of any solicitation or, in the case of a response to a general solicitation as permitted under clause (i) above, in advance of any subsequent solicitation in connection with the recruiting process) of the express written consent of the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Party that employs the Person who is to be solicited and/or hired. Except as provided in clause (ii) above with respect to involuntary terminations, without regard to the use of the term “Employee” or “employs,” the restrictions under this Section 3.02 shall be applicable to (A) Grace Group Employees whose employment terminates after the Effective Time, and (B) GCP Group Employees whose employment terminates after the Effective Time, in each case, until the date that is six months after such Employee’s last date of employment with Grace or GCP, as applicable. The restrictions under this Section 3.02 shall not apply to Former Grace Group Employees or Former GCP Group Employees whose most recent employment with Grace and its Subsidiaries was terminated prior to the Effective Time.

Section 5.01. GCP U.S. Pension Plans.

(a)Establishment of GCP U.S. Pension Plans. Before the Internal Distribution, GCP shall establish the GCP Salaried Pension Plan and the GCP Non-Union Hourly Pension Plan. As soon as practicable after the Internal Distribution and upon receipt by Grace of (i) a copy of each of the GCP U.S. Pension Plans; (ii) confirmation that the GCP Board (or its authorized committee or other delegate) has approved the adoption of the GCP U.S. Pension Plans and any related trust(s) (the “GCP Pension Trust”) and the assumption by the GCP U.S. Pension Plans of the Liabilities described in Section 5.01(b); and (iii) either (A) a favorable determination letter issued by the IRS with respect to each of the GCP U.S. Pension Plans and the GCP Pension Trust, or (B) an opinion of counsel, which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to Grace, with respect to the qualified status of each of the GCP U.S. Pension Plans under Section 401(a) of the Code and the tax-exempt status of the GCP Pension Trust under Section 501(a) of the Code, Grace shall direct the trustee of the Grace Pension Trust to transfer assets of the Grace U.S. Pension Plans to the GCP Pension Trust in the amounts described in Section 5.01(b).

The Grace Pension Trust shall transfer such Assets to the GCP Pension Trust and, upon completion of such Asset transfer, each such Grace U.S. Pension Plan and the Grace Group shall be relieved of such Liabilities.

(ii)Transfer of Assets. The amount of Assets (whether in cash or kind, as determined by Grace) to be transferred from the Grace Pension Trust to the GCP Pension Trust in respect of the assumption of Liabilities by GCP under Section 5.01(b)(i) shall be determined as of the Distribution Date in accordance with, and shall comply with, Section 414(l) of the Code and Section 4044 of ERISA. Assumptions used to determine the value (or amount) of the Assets to be transferred shall be the safe harbor assumptions specified for valuing benefits in trusteed plans under

-26-

Department of Labor Regulations Section 4044.51-57 and, to the extent not so specified, shall be based on the assumptions used in the annual valuation report to determine minimum funding requirements most recently prepared before the transfer by the actuary for each of the Grace U.S. Pension Plans. The transfer amounts described above shall be credited or debited, as applicable, with a pro rata share of the actual investment earnings or losses allocable to the transfer amount for the period between the Distribution Date and an assessment date set by Grace that is as close as practicable, taking into account the timing and reporting of valuation of Assets in the Grace Pension Trust, to the date upon which Assets equal in value to the transfer amount are actually transferred from the Grace Pension Trust to the GCP Pension Trust. During the time before such transfer, benefits for GCP Group Employees who terminate employment with the GCP Group shall be paid from the Grace Pension Trust. The ultimate transfer amount shall be reduced by the amount of these benefits and credited or debited by the actual investment earnings or losses from the payment date to the assessment date set by Grace above.

(ii)the compensation paid by the Grace Group to a GCP Group Employee that is recognized under the applicable Grace U.S. Pension Plan as of immediately prior to the Transfer Effective Time shall be credited and recognized for all applicable purposes under the corresponding GCP U.S. Pension Plan as though it were compensation from the GCP Group;

(iii)the accrued benefit of each GCP Group Employee under the applicable Grace U.S. Pension Plan as of the Transfer Effective Time shall be payable under the corresponding GCP U.S. Pension Plan at the time and in a form that would have been permitted under such Grace U.S. Pension Plan as in effect as of the Transfer Effective Time, with employment by the Grace Group before the Transfer Effective Time treated as employment by the GCP Group under such GCP U.S. Pension Plan for purposes of determining eligibility for optional forms of benefit, early retirement benefits, or other benefit forms; and

WELFARE BENEFIT PLANS

Section 7.01. Welfare Plans.

(a)Establishment of GCP Welfare Plans. Before the Transfer Effective Time, GCP shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the GCP Group to, establish the GCP Welfare Plans.

(c)Health Savings Accounts. Before the Transfer Effective Time, GCP shall, or shall cause a member of the GCP Group to, establish a GCP Welfare Plan that will provide health savings account benefits to GCP Group Employees on and after the Transfer Effective Time (a “GCP HSA”). It is the intention of the Parties that all activity under a GCP Group Employee’s health savings

-32-

account under a Grace Welfare Plan (a “Grace HSA”) for the year in which the Transfer Effective Time occurs be treated instead as activity under the corresponding account under the GCP HSA, such that (i) any period of participation by a GCP Group Employee in a Grace HSA during the year in which the Transfer Effective Time occurs will be deemed a period when such GCP Group Employee participated in the corresponding GCP HSA; (ii) all expenses incurred during such period will be deemed incurred while such GCP Group Employee’s coverage was in effect under the corresponding GCP HSA; and (iii) all elections and reimbursements made with respect to such period under the Grace HSA will be deemed to have been made with respect to the corresponding GCP HSA.

(d)Flexible Spending Accounts. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that as of the Transfer Effective Time any health or dependent care flexible spending accounts of GCP Group Employees (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred Account Balances”) under Grace Welfare Plans are transferred, as soon as practicable after the Transfer Effective Time, from the Grace Welfare Plans to the corresponding GCP Welfare Plans. Such GCP Welfare Plans shall assume responsibility as of the Transfer Effective Time for all outstanding health or dependent care claims under the corresponding Grace Welfare Plans of each GCP Group Employee for the year in which the Transfer Effective Time occurs and shall assume and agree to perform the obligations of the corresponding Grace Welfare Plans from and after the Transfer Effective Time.

(e)Allocation of Welfare Assets and Liabilities. Effective as of the Transfer Effective Time, the GCP Group shall assume all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from health and welfare coverage or claims incurred by or on behalf of GCP Group Employees or Former GCP Group Employees or their covered dependents under the Grace Welfare Plans or GCP Welfare Plans before, at, or after the Transfer Effective Time. No Grace Welfare Plan shall provide coverage to any GCP Group Employee or Former GCP Group Employee after the Transfer Effective Time.

Section 7.02. COBRA and HIPAA. The Grace Group shall continue to be responsible for complying with, and providing coverage pursuant to, the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA, and the corresponding provisions of the Grace Welfare Plans with respect to any Grace Group Employees and any Former Grace Group Employees (and their covered dependents) who incur a qualifying event under COBRA before, as of, or after the Transfer Effective Time. Effective as of the Transfer Effective Time, the GCP Group shall assume responsibility for complying with, and providing coverage pursuant to, the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA, and the corresponding provisions of the GCP Welfare Plans with respect to any GCP Group Employees and any Former GCP Group Employees (and their covered dependents) who incur a qualifying event or loss of coverage under the Grace Welfare Plans and/or the GCP Welfare Plans before, as of, or after the Transfer Effective Time. The Parties agree that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall not constitute a COBRA qualifying event for any purpose of COBRA.

Section 7.03. Vacation, Holidays and Leaves of Absence. Effective as of the Transfer Effective Time, the GCP Group shall assume all Liabilities of the Grace Group with respect to vacation, holiday, annual leave, or other leave of absence, and required payments related thereto, for each GCP Group Employee.

Section 7.04. Severance and Unemployment Compensation. Effective as of the Transfer Effective Time, the GCP Group shall assume any and all Liabilities to, or relating to, GCP Group Employees and Former GCP Group Employees in respect of severance and unemployment compensation, regardless of whether the event giving rise to the Liability occurred before, at, or after the Transfer Effective Time. The Grace Group shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities to, or relating to, Grace Group Employees and Former Grace Group Employees in respect of severance and unemployment compensation, regardless of whether the event giving rise to the Liability occurred before, at or after the Transfer Effective Time.

Section 7.05. Workers’ Compensation. With respect to claims for workers’ compensation in the U.S., (a) the GCP Group shall be responsible for claims in respect of GCP Group Employees and Former GCP Group Employees, whether occurring before, at, or after the Transfer Effective Time, and (b) the Grace Group shall be responsible for all claims in respect of Grace Group Employees and Former Grace Group Employees, whether occurring before, at, or after the Transfer Effective Time. The treatment of workers’ compensation claims by GCP with respect to Grace insurance policies shall be governed by Section 5.1 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that any workers’ compensation policy in effect prior to the Transfer Effective Time shall be available, pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof, for claims in respect of GCP Group Employees and Former GCP Group Employees occurring before the Transfer Effective Time. The obligation to pay deductibles, retrospective premium payments, or other forms of reimbursement to the insurer shall be governed by Section 5.1 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 7.06. Insurance Contracts. To the extent that any Grace Welfare Plan is funded through the purchase of an insurance contract or is subject to any stop-loss contract, the Parties shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to replicate such insurance contracts for GCP (except to the extent that changes are required under applicable state insurance Laws or filings by the respective insurers) and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both Grace and GCP for a reasonable term. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to obtain such insurance contracts, pricing discounts, or other preferential terms for the other Party.

Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

Section 9.11. Force Majeure.

In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition, and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 9.15. Waivers of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by any other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

Section 9.16. Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
