Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Pursuant to Article VI, Section 1 of IFF’s Bylaws, as they may be amended (the “IFF Bylaws”), IFF has agreed to indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of IFF, or was serving, at the request of IFF, as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of any other affiliated corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by such person as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, unless a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts, or the acts of the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she, or the other person of whom he or she is the legal representative, was not legally entitled. The IFF Bylaws provide that IFF shall advance to such person funds to pay for such expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by such person in defending against any such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such funds to IFF if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts, or the acts of the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she, or such person, was not legally entitled.

Article VI, Section 2 of the IFF Bylaws provides that if a claim under Article VI, Section 1 of the IFF Bylaws is not paid in full by IFF within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by IFF, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against IFF to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to IFF) that the claimant, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, has not met the standard of conduct established in Article VI, Section 1 of the IFF Bylaws, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on IFF. Neither the failure of IFF (including IFF’s board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper because the claimant or such person has met the said standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by IFF (including IFF’s board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant or such person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to action or create a presumption that the claimant or such person has not met such standard of conduct.

Article VI, Section 3 of the IFF Bylaws provides that subject to the limitations contained in Article VI, Section 1 of the IFF Bylaws, the right to indemnification and the payment of expenses conferred under the IFF Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which any person seeking indemnification or advancement or payment of expenses may be entitled.

Article VI, Section 6 of the IFF Bylaws also provides that IFF may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify officers, directors and others against costs or liabilities incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties and any activities undertaken by them for, or at the request of, IFF, to the fullest extent permitted by the New York Business Corporation Law (the “NYBCL”).

Section 721 of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that indemnification pursuant to the NYBCL will not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification rights to which a director or officer may be entitled, provided that no indemnification may be made if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

Section 722(a) of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify a person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor, but including an action by or in the right of any other corporation or entity which any director or officer served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or his testator or intestate was a director or officer of the corporation or served such other entity in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor, Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation or entity may be indemnified against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and that no indemnification may be made in respect of (i) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and to the extent an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to partial or full indemnification.

Section 723 of the NYBCL specifies, among other things, the manner in which the corporation may authorize payment of such indemnification. It provides that a director or officer who has been successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action or proceeding of the character described in Section 722 of the NYBCL, shall be entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, indemnification may be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case by one of the corporate actions set forth in Section 723 (unless ordered by a court under Section 724 of the NYBCL).

Section 724 of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that upon proper application by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under Sections 722 and 723(a) of the NYBCL.

Section 725 of the NYBCL contains, among other things, certain other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and officers, including provision for the return of amounts paid as indemnification if any such person is ultimately found not to be entitled to the indemnification.

Section 726(a) of the NYBCL authorizes the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (i) a corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the above sections, (ii) directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (iii) directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.

In addition, Section 402(b) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the liability of its directors to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for the breach of any duty, except for a breach involving bad faith, intentional misconduct, a knowing violation of law or receipt of an improper personal benefit or for certain illegal dividends, loans or stock repurchases. Article Eleven of IFF’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended (the “Charter”) contains such a provision.

Further, IFF maintains insurance policies that insure its officers and directors against certain liabilities. IFF has also entered into agreements with certain of its directors and officers that will require IFF, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the NYBCL, the IFF Charter and the IFF Bylaws and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

The 2015 Plan also provides that IFF shall indemnify members of the committee that administers the 2015 Plan and each other director or employee of IFF to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the 2015 Plan has been delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the committee that administers the 2015 Plan) arising out of any action, omission, or determination relating to the 2015 Plan, unless, in either case, such action, omission, or determination was taken or made by such member, director, or employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of IFF.

In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors after the deadline set forth in Section 3(d) above but before the date of the annual meeting and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

6

(ii)    Any Eligible Shareholder submitting more than one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 4 shall rank such Shareholder Nominees based on the order in which the Eligible Shareholder desires such Shareholder Nominees be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials. If the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section 4 exceeds the Maximum Number, the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 4 of each Eligible Shareholder will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, going in order by the number (largest to smallest) of shares of common stock of the Corporation each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as Owned in its respective Nomination Notice. If the Maximum Number is not reached after the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 4 of each Eligible Shareholder has been selected, this process will continue with the next highest ranked nominees as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Maximum Number is reached.

(c)    Eligibility of Nominating Shareholder

(i)    An “Eligible Shareholder” is a person who has either (A) been a record holder of the shares of common stock used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 4(c) continuously for the three-year period specified in paragraph (ii) below or (B) provides to the Secretary of the Corporation, within the time period referred to in Section 3(d)(i), evidence of continuous Ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, determines would be deemed acceptable for purposes of a shareholder proposal under Rule 14a-8(b)(2) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).

(ii)    An Eligible Shareholder or group of up to twenty (20) Eligible Shareholders (an “Eligible Shareholder Group”) may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 4 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously Owned at least the Required Shares throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, on the record date and continues to Own at least the Required Shares through the date of the annual meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by an Eligible Shareholder Group, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Shareholder that are set forth in this Section 5, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such group; provided, however, that the Required Shares shall apply to the Ownership of the Eligible Shareholder Group in the aggregate. Should any shareholder cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 4, as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, or withdraw from an Eligible Shareholder Group at any time prior to the annual meeting of shareholders, the Eligible Shareholder Group shall only be deemed to Own the shares held by the remaining members of the group. For this purpose, two or more funds or trusts that are (A) under common management and investment control, (B) under common management and funded primarily by the same employer, or (C) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Corporation Act of 1940, as amended (each, a “Qualifying Fund”), shall be treated as one shareholder or beneficial owner.

7

(iii)    The “Required Shares” means 3% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation as of the most recent date for which such amount is given in any filing by the Corporation with the SEC prior to the submission of the Nomination Notice.

(iv)    For purposes of this Section 4, an Eligible Shareholder “Owns” only those outstanding shares of the Corporation as to which the Eligible Shareholder possesses both: (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided, that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares: (1) sold by such Eligible Shareholder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by such Eligible Shareholder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Shareholder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Eligible Shareholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of: (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Shareholder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such Eligible Shareholder or any of its affiliates. An Eligible Shareholder “owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Eligible Shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. An Eligible Shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Shareholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the Eligible Shareholder. An Eligible Shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Shareholder has loaned such shares provided that the Eligible Shareholder has the power to recall such loaned shares on three business days’ notice and has recalled such shares upon notification that it’s nominees would be included in the proxy statement. The terms “Owned,” “Owning” and other variations of the word “Own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the Corporation are “Owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors or its designee.

(v)    No person shall be permitted to be in more than one Eligible Shareholder Group, and if any person appears as a member of more than one Eligible Shareholder Group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the Eligible Shareholder Group that has the largest ownership position as reflected in the Nomination Notice.

(d)    Information to be Provided by Nominating Shareholder. Within the time period specified in Section 3(d)(i), each Nominating Shareholder must provide the following information in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation:

(i)    a copy of the Schedule 14N that has been filed by such Eligible Shareholder with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by Rule 14a-18 under the 1934 Act, as such rule may be amended;

(ii)    one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation (and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three (3)-year holding period) specifying the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that the Nominating Shareholder Owns, and has continuously Owned for three (3) years preceding the date of the Nomination Notice, and the Nominating Shareholder’s agreement to provide, within five (5) business days after the record date for the annual meeting, written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying the Eligible Shareholder’s continuous Ownership of the Required Shares through the record date;

(B)    that the Shareholder Nominee’s candidacy or, if elected, Board membership would not violate applicable state or federal law or the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are traded;

(C)    that the Shareholder Nominee: (A) does not have any direct or indirect relationship with the Corporation that will cause the Shareholder Nominee to be deemed not independent pursuant to the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines as most recently published on its website prior to the submission of the Nomination Notice and otherwise qualifies as independent under the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s shares of common stock are traded; (B) is a “non-employee director” for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule); (C) is an “outside director” for the purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision); and (D) is not and has not been subject to any event specified in Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D (or any successor rule) under the Securities Act of 1933 or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (or any successor rule) under the Exchange Act, without reference to whether the event is material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of the Shareholder Nominee;

(D)    that the Nominating Shareholder satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 4(c) and has provided evidence of ownership to the extent required by Section 4(c)(i)

(G)    that the Nominating Shareholder will not use any proxy card other than the Corporation’s proxy card in soliciting shareholders in connection with the election of a Shareholder Nominee at the annual meeting;

9

(H)    that the facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its shareholders are and will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will otherwise comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Section 4; and

(I)    in the case of a nomination by an Eligible Shareholder Group, the designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all group members with respect to matters relating to the nomination, including withdrawal of the nomination;

(v)    an executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory by the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, pursuant to which the Nominating Shareholder (including each group member) agrees:

(A)    to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with the nomination, solicitation and election;

(B)    to file any written communication with the Corporation’s shareholders relating to one or more of the Corporation’s directors or director nominees or any Shareholder Nominee with the SEC, regardless of whether any such filing is required under any rule or regulation or whether any exemption from filing is available for such materials under any rule or regulation;

(C)    to assume all liability stemming from an action, suit or proceeding concerning any actual or alleged legal or regulatory violation arising out of any communication by the Nominating Shareholder or any of its Shareholder Nominees with the Corporation, its shareholders or any other person in connection with the nomination or election of directors, including, without limitation, the Nomination Notice;

(D)    to indemnify and hold harmless (jointly with all other group members, in the case of a group member) the Corporation and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss, damages, expenses or other costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of or relating to a failure or alleged failure of the Nominating Shareholder or any of its Shareholder Nominees to comply with, or any breach or alleged breach of, its respective obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 4; and

(E)    in the event that any information included in the Nomination Notice ceases to be true and accurate in all material respects (or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading), or that the Nominating Shareholder (including any group member) has failed to continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements described in Section 4(c), to promptly notify the Corporation of the misstatement or omission in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct the misstatement or omission (it being understood that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any such defect or limit the Corporation’s right to omit a Shareholder Nominee from its proxy materials pursuant to this Section 4); and

10

(e)    Representations and Agreement of the Shareholder Nominee. Within the time period specified in Section 3(d)(i), each Shareholder Nominee must deliver to the Secretary of the Corporation the following:

(i)    a completed Questionnaire and Statement of Representations and Agreements as set forth in Section 3(e) of Article I; and

(ii)     a letter of resignation signed by the Shareholder Nominee, which letter shall specify that such Shareholder Nominee’s resignation is irrevocable and that it shall become effective upon a determination by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof (excluding, for purposes of such determination, such Shareholder Nominee) that (x) any of the information provided to the Corporation by the Eligible Shareholder or the Shareholder Nominee in respect of the nomination of such Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 4 is or was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading or (y) the Eligible Shareholder shall have breached any of its obligations under this Section 4.

(f)    Statement. In addition to the items required pursuant to Section 4(d) of this Article I, the Eligible Shareholder may provide to the Secretary of the Corporation, at the time the information required by this Section 4 is provided, a written statement for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement for the annual meeting, not to exceed five hundred (500) words, in support of the Shareholder Nominee’s candidacy (the “Statement”).

Any Shareholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for a particular annual meeting but either (i) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at such annual meeting, or (ii) does not receive at least twenty five percent (25%) of the votes cast “for” the Shareholder Nominee’s election, will be ineligible to be a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 4 for the next two (2) annual meetings. Any Shareholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for a particular annual meeting, but subsequently is determined not to satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Section 4 or any other provision of the Corporation’s By-laws, Certificate of Incorporation, Corporate Governance Guidelines or other applicable regulation at any time before the applicable annual meeting, will not be eligible for election at such annual meeting and may not be replaced by the Eligible Shareholder that nominated such Shareholder Nominee. If, after the deadline for submitting a Nomination Notice, a Nominating Shareholder ceases to satisfy, as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, the eligibility requirements in this Section 4 or withdraws its nomination or a Shareholder Nominee ceases to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 4, as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, or becomes unwilling to serve on the Board of Directors, whether before or after the mailing of the definitive proxy statement, then the nomination shall be disregarded, and the Corporation (1) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the disregarded Shareholder Nominee or any successor or replacement nominee proposed by the applicable Nominating Shareholder or by any other Nominating Shareholder and (2) may otherwise communicate to its shareholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the Shareholder Nominee will not be included as a Shareholder Nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting.

11

(h)    Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, the Corporation may omit from its proxy statement any Shareholder Nominee and any information concerning such Shareholder Nominee (including a Nominating Shareholder’s Statement) and no vote on such Shareholder Nominee will occur (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation), and the Nominating Shareholder may not, after the last day on which a Nomination Notice would be timely, cure in any way any defect preventing the nomination of the Shareholder Nominee, if:

(i)    if the Eligible Shareholder who has nominated such Shareholder Nominee has engaged in or is currently engaged in, or has been or is a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the 1934 Act in support of the election of any individual as a director at the meeting other than its Shareholder Nominee(s) or a nominee of the Board of Directors;

(ii)    if the Shareholder Nominee is not independent under the Applicable Independence Standards, as determined by the Board of Directors;

(iii)    if the Shareholder Nominee’s nomination or election as a member of the Board of Directors would cause the Corporation to be in violation of these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation, the listing standards of the principal exchange upon which the Corporation’s shares of common stock are traded, or any applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iv)    if the Shareholder Nominee is or has been, within the past three years, an employee or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914;

(viii)    if the Eligible Shareholder or applicable Shareholder Nominee otherwise contravenes any of the agreements or representations made by such Eligible Shareholder or Shareholder Nominee or fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 4; or

(ix)    if the Eligible Shareholder ceases to be an Eligible Shareholder for any reason, including but not limited to not Owning the Required Shares through the date of the applicable annual meeting.

12

(j)    Disqualifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Board of Directors or the person presiding at the meeting shall declare a nomination by an Eligible Shareholder to be invalid, and such nomination shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation, if (i) the Shareholder Nominee(s) and/or the applicable Eligible Shareholder shall have breached its or their obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 4, as determined by the Board of Directors or the person presiding at the annual meeting, or (ii) the Eligible Shareholder (or a qualified representative thereof) does not appear at the annual meeting to present any nomination pursuant to this Section 4.

(k)    Filing Obligation. The Eligible Shareholder (including any person who Owns shares of common stock of the Corporation that constitute part of the Eligible Shareholder’s Ownership for purposes of satisfying Section 4(e) hereof) shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any solicitation or other communication with the Corporation’s shareholders relating to the meeting at which the Shareholder Nominee will be nominated, regardless of whether any such filing is required under Regulation 14A of the 1934 Act or whether any exemption from filing is available for such solicitation or other communication under Regulation 14A of the 1934 Act.

SECTION 5    Quorum. At all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation, the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business except as otherwise provided by law.

SECTION 6    Organization; Adjournment. The Board of Directors may prescribe an order of business for meetings of shareholders. The Chair of the Board, or in his or her absence, the Chief Executive Officer, if then a separate officer, shall preside at meetings of the shareholders; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may for any meeting of shareholders designate another officer or officers to preside. If a quorum, determined in accordance with Article I, Section 5 of these By-Laws, shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the chair of the meeting, or if so requested by the chair, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. In addition, the chair of any meeting of shareholders shall have the power to adjourn the meeting at the request of the Board of Directors if the Board of Directors determines that adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable shareholders to consider fully the information which the Board of Directors determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to shareholders.

SECTION 7    Voting. At each meeting of the shareholders every shareholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock standing in his or her name on the books of the Corporation; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such meeting as the date as of which shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting shall be determined, and in case the Board of Directors shall fix a date, only shareholders of record on such date shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting. At any meeting of shareholders each shareholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy.

Except with respect to the election of directors, which shall be governed by Article II, Section 3 of these By-Laws, and except as otherwise provided by law, in the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, all matters will be determined by the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast in favor or against the matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as a vote cast.

SECTION 8    Inspectors of Election. At any meeting of the shareholders, an inspector or inspectors of election may be appointed as provided in the Business Corporation Law and shall have duties as provided in the Business Corporation Law. An inspector of election need not be a shareholder of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an inspector of election on any question other than a vote for or against his or her election to any position with the Corporation or any other question in which he or she may be directly interested.

13

ARTICLE II

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 1    General Powers. Except as otherwise provided in these By-Laws or in the Certificate of Incorporation, the property, business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2    Number and Term. Subject to Article II, Section 14, the number of directors shall be thirteen (13) but the number thereof may, from time to time, be diminished to not less than six (6) by amendment of these By-Laws. As used in these By-Laws, the term “entire Board of Directors” shall mean the total number of directors which the Corporation would have at the time if there were no vacancies. Directors shall be elected to serve until the next annual meeting or until his or her successor shall be duly elected and qualified.

SECTION 3     Election of Directors.

At each meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, the vote required for election of a director by the shareholders shall, except in a Contested Election, be the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast “for” the election of a nominee. For purposes of this Section 3, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that nominee’s election.

In a Contested Election, the persons receiving a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall be the directors. A “Contested Election” means an election where, as of the record date for such meeting in which the election will be held, there are more nominees for election than positions on the Board of Directors to be filled by election at the meeting; provided that with respect to any nominee proposed or nominated by a shareholder, the Secretary of the Corporation shall have received proper notice under Article I, Section 3 of these By-Laws. For purposes of this Section 3, if plurality voting is applicable to the election of directors at any meeting, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes cast “for,” without regard to votes cast “against” or “withhold,” shall be elected as directors up to the total number of directors to be elected at that meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as a vote cast with respect to any election of directors.

SECTION 4    Organization. The Board of Directors may choose one of their number as Chair of the Board. At each meeting of the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Board, or, if there shall be no Chair of the Board or if he or she shall be absent, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or in case of his or her absence, the Lead Director, or in case of his or her absence, a chair who shall be any director chosen by a majority of the directors present thereat, shall act as chair of such meeting and preside thereat. The Secretary of the Corporation, or in the case of his or her absence, any person whom the chair shall appoint secretary of such meeting, shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

SECTION 5    Resignations.

(a)    Any director of the Corporation may resign at any time by giving written notice of his or her resignation to the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation. Subject to Section 5(b), any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if the time when the resignation shall become effective is not specified therein, then it shall take effect immediately upon its receipt by such Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer or Secretary; and, unless otherwise specified therein or as otherwise required by the Corporation’s corporate governance policies, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

14

(b)    In an election of directors that is not contested, any incumbent director nominee who is not re-elected by the shareholders shall immediately tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, subject to acceptance or rejection by the Board of Directors as provided in this Section 5(b). The Nominating and Governance Committee shall consider the resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors (excluding the subject director), in accordance with the procedures established by the Board of Directors, shall decide whether to act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation within ninety (90) days after the date the results of the election are certified and the Corporation shall promptly disclose and explain such decision in a document furnished or filed with the SEC. An incumbent director who tenders his or her resignation in accordance with this Section 5(b) will not participate in the deliberations by the Nominating and Governance Committee or Board of Directors with respect to such resignation. If the Board of Directors does not accept the incumbent director’s resignation, he or she shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. If the Board of Directors accepts the resignation, or if the nominee who failed to receive the required vote is not an incumbent director, the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy or decrease the size of the Board of Directors in accordance with these By-Laws.

SECTION 6    Vacancies. Except as provided in Article II, Section 14, vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason, except the removal of directors without cause by the shareholders, may be filled by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the whole Board of Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to hold office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Newly-created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists.

SECTION 7    Annual Organization Meeting. After each annual election of directors, the Board of Directors may hold a regular meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of other business as soon as practicable on the same day, at the place where other regular meetings of the Board of Directors are held. Notice of such meeting need not be given. Such meeting may be held at any other time or place which shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors or in a consent and waiver of notice thereof signed by all the directors.

SECTION 8    Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times and at such places within or without the State of New York or the United States as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine.

SECTION 9    Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held whenever called by the Chair of the Board, the Lead Director, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or by any two (2) of the directors at the time in office. A notice of each such special meeting stating the time and place thereof shall be given as provided in this Section 9. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting shall be given by first class mail, telephone, overnight delivery, electronic mail, facsimile or hand delivery to each director, at his or her residence or usual place of business at least forty-eight (48) hours before the meeting is to be held. Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need not, however, be given to any director, if waived by him or her in writing before or after the meeting or if he or she shall attend the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to him or her. Neither notices of a meeting nor a waiver of notice need specify the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors.

15

SECTION 10    Quorum and Manner of Acting.

(a)    Quorum. A majority of the entire Board of Directors shall be present in person at any meeting of the Board of Directors in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting and, except as otherwise specifically provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws or by law, the act of a majority of the directors present at any such meeting, at which a quorum is present, shall be the act of the Board of Directors. In the absence of a quorum for any meeting, a majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn such meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present thereat. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given.

(b)    Telephone Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any one or more members of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee by means of a conference telephone, video conference or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

(c)    Action By Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, provided that all Board members individually provide written consent to that action (which may include consent by electronic means); and provided further that if such consent is effected by electronic means, such consent shall include a description of the action being taken and the typed name of the director, which shall constitute the legally binding electronic signature of the director. Such action by written consent will have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors.

20

The certificates representing such shares shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chair of the Board, a President or a Vice-President, and by the Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and its seal shall be affixed thereto; provided, however, that where such certificate is signed by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar other than the Corporation itself or its employee, if the Board of Directors shall by resolution so authorize, the signatures of such Chair of the Board, President, or Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary and the seal of the Corporation may be by facsimile. In case any officer or officers of the Corporation who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures has been placed upon a certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers, whether by reason of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as if the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates had not ceased to be such officer or officers. A record shall be kept of the respective names of the persons, firms or corporations owning the shares represented by certificates for stock of the Corporation, the number of shares represented by such certificates, respectively, and the respective dates thereof, and in case of cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 1    Right To Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or was serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of any other affiliated corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by such person as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, unless a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts, or the acts of the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she, or the other person of whom he or she is the legal representative, was not legally entitled. The Corporation shall advance to such person funds to pay for such expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by such person in defending against any such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such funds to the Corporation if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts, or the acts of the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she, or such person, was not legally entitled.

SECTION 2    Right Of Claimant To Sue. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, has not met the standard of conduct established in Article VI, Section 1 of these By-Laws, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper because the claimant or such person has met the said standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant or such person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to action or create a presumption that the claimant or such person has not met such standard of conduct.

22

SECTION 3    Non-Exclusivity Of Rights. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 1 of this Article VI, the right to indemnification and the payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which any person seeking indemnification or advancement or payment of expenses may be entitled, whether under any statute, provision of the Certification of Incorporation, these By-Laws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and the Corporation is hereby authorized to provide further indemnification or advancement rights to any such person whether by separate agreement or by resolution of its directors or shareholders or otherwise.

SECTION 4    Contract Rights; Savings Clause.

(a)    Contract Rights. The rights conferred by this Article VI shall be contract rights and shall vest at the time a person agrees to become a director or officer of the Corporation. Such rights shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall extend to the heirs and legal representatives of such person. Any repeal or modification of the Business Corporation Law or the provisions of this Article VI shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a contract right may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such person, except as provided by law.

(b)    Savings Clause. Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Article VI shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any director or officer in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. If any provision of this Article VI is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VI (including without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

SECTION 5    Business Corporation Law. All references to the Business Corporation Law in this Article VI shall mean such Law as it may from time to time be amended.

SECTION 6    Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify officers, directors and others against costs or liabilities incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties and any activities undertaken by them for, or at the request of, the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by the Business Corporation Law.

Notwithstanding the previous sentence, until the 2023 annual meeting of the Corporation, any amendment or repeal of any provision of Article II, Section 14 of these By-Laws or adoption of any additional provision therein, or any adoption, amendment or repeal of any other By-Law that would result in terms contrary to or in conflict with any of the terms of Article II, Section 14 of these By-Laws shall, in each case, require the approval by (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the IFF Designees and/or Continuing IFF Designees, as applicable, then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining IFF Designee and/or Continuing IFF Designee, as applicable, and (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of the DuPont Designees and/or Continuing DuPont Designees, as applicable, then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining DuPont Designee and/or Continuing DuPont Designee, as applicable.
