1A.

T RANSITION OF M ANUFACTURING

1A.1 Move . The parties have agreed that Entegris will move its membrane manufacturing operations currently conducted in the Premises to the New Entegris Facility in an orderly manner (the “Move”) during the Facility Term.

1A.2 Timing . Entegris will not move any equipment or operations sooner than July 2009. Subject to the achievement of required safety stocks as described in Section 5.7, Entegris will complete the Move and have vacated the Premises no later than the end of the Facility Term. Entegris will prepare a detailed move schedule and provide it to Millipore by December 31,2008 .The parties will review and update the schedule during the Facility Term on a monthly basis as the Move progresses. Millipore will supply its requirements for feasibility and qualification rolls in coordination with the schedule.

1A.3 Coordination . The parties will work together in good faith to facilitate such Move to minimize disruptions and costs to both parties.

1A.4 Qualification . Prior to the reduction or cessation of production of Membranes at the Premises, Entegris will establish its own new UPE annealing capability at the New Entegris Facility. Millipore will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in conjunction with Entegris, to qualify the Entegris’ manufacturing process at the New Entegris Facility to enable the supply of qualified Membranes. Entegris will provide to Millipore in parallel with such qualification a reasonable quantity of rolls of UPE Membrane necessary for Millipore to conduct feasibility and qualification testing. All such feasibility and evaluation rolls provided to Millipore by Entegris will meet all existing Entegris specifications as agreed by the parties. If, despite each party’s commercially reasonable efforts, Millipore is unable to qualify the Entegris UPE annealing line, Millipore reserves the right to perform the annealing process itself. In such circumstances, Entegris shall provide to Millipore a sufficient quantity of extracted gel rolls, at appropriately adjusted prices, to enable Millipore to produce sufficient finished product to meet Entegris’ obligations for such finished product.

 

Page 5 of 28


1A.5 No Supply Disruption . Notwithstanding the Move, Entegris will at all times during the Term of this Agreement continue to meet its supply obligations to Millipore under this Agreement of any Membranes from a manufacturing process qualified by Millipore. It is the expectation of the parties that Entegris will produce Membranes from both facilities initially and, after the Facility Term, if the New Entegris Facility and its processes are qualified by Millipore, solely from the New Entegris Facility.

1A.6 No VMF4 Disruption . Notwithstanding the Move, Millipore will at all times during the Term of this Agreement continue to meet its obligations to Entegris under this Agreement to provide hydrophilization of any Membranes on its VMF4 Line.

1A.7 Costs . Entegris will bear all costs of dismantling, packaging, freight, shipping, installation, testing and requalification of all Entegris Equipment to be removed from the Premises.

1A.8 Transfer to New Annealing Line . If Entegris’ new UPE annealing process can be qualified successfully by Millipore as provided above,, then after such qualification Millipore shall have Millipore membrane processed by Entegris on the new Entegris annealing machine with pricing based on the costs associated with the new machine and forego any payment for existing Film I Annealing machine hours from Entegris. Prior to any successful qualification of such new process to Millipore’s reasonable satisfaction, Millipore shall have Millipore membrane continue to be processed on the existing Film I annealing machine at the Premises with Entegris continuing to be charged the same rates and pricing then in effect. Any such shifting of production shall not result in a termination of the Agreement, which may be only be terminated in accordance with its terms.
