The company's plants and equipment are well maintained and in good operating condition. The company believes it has sufficient capacity to meet demand in
2013. Properties are primarily owned by the company; however, certain properties are leased. No title examination of the properties has been made for the

DuPont recognizes that the security and safety of its operations are critical to its employees, community and to the future of the company. As such, the
company has merged chemical site security into its safety core value where it serves as an integral part of its long standing safety culture. Physical security
measures have been combined with process safety measures (including the use of inherently safer technology), administrative procedures and emergency
response preparedness into an integrated security plan. The company has conducted vulnerability assessments at operating facilities in the U.S. and high
priority sites worldwide and identified and implemented appropriate measures to protect these facilities from physical and cyber attacks. DuPont is partnering
with carriers, including railroad, shipping and trucking companies, to secure chemicals in transit.
