2.2 Purchase Guarantee.
(a) In addition to the minimum purchase requirements set forth in
Section 2.1 hereof, CTI agrees to purchase, in each calendar year during the
Initial Term and any Renewal Term, not less than * of its New Product
requirements from CIL. With respect to purchases of New Product in excess of the

specifying the quantity of New Product CTI wishes to purchase and the delivery
date thereof. CIL shall, in writing, accept or reject such purchase order within
ten (10) days of its receipt of such order. If CIL does not accept such Purchase
Order, CTI shall be free to purchase the amounts set forth therein from a to
such third party on delivery terms no more favorable to such third party than
those set forth in the Purchase Order submitted to CIL. CTI will provide CIL a
statement, signed by the Chief Financial Officer of CTI, no later than January
31 of each year certifying that CTI has purchased no less than * of New Product
purchased by CTI from all sources during the preceding calendar year from CIL.
CIL has the right to audit the books and records of CTI directly related to its
purchase of New Product from all sources to verify the certification.
(b) During this Agreement, on or before January 31 of each calendar
year, CIL shall give written notice to CTI, signed by the Chief Financial
Officer of CIL, of CIL's good faith estimate of its production capacity for New
Product from its Xenia, Ohio manufacturing facility existing on the date of this
Agreement (the "Estimated Annual Capacity"). Unless mutually agreed upon by the
parties, future expansion of this facility, if any, shall not be considered in
the preparation of such estimate. CTI shall have the option to purchase * of the
Estimated Annual Capacity set forth in such notice to the extent that such
amount exceeds the minimum purchase requirements set forth in Section 2.1
hereof. In order to exercise this option, CTI must place a written purchase
order for such amount on or before April 30 of the applicable calendar year. CIL
shall deliver such order on or before December 31 of such year.
2.3 Recovery Water.
(a) In addition to manufacturing and selling New Product to CTI, CIL
shall produce Recovery Water, which involves the re-enrichment of Used Product
to meet the specifications set forth in Exhibit A annexed herein. "Used Product"
is water that has been depleted in 0-18 levels below 95% enrichment. Used
Product may have elevated levels of minerals and organics relative to New
Product weight.
(b) CTI agrees to use its blest efforts to return all of its Used
Product originally purchased from CIL to CIL for reprocessing into Recovery
Water hereunder, at no cost to CIL, commencing upon CIL's written notice to CTI
that it is prepared to begin reprocessing Used Product. CTI agreed that the
enrichment of Used Product returned to CIL will normally be 85% of 0-18 or
higher, but in no case will be less than 80% 0-18. CTI agrees that the Used
Product will not contain radioactive substances at levels that would require CIL
to obtain a license for shipping or handling as radioactive material.
(c) CTI acknowledges that CIL is not currently producing Recovery
Water; that shipments of Recovery Water are not expected to be available for
shipment to CTI until approximately nine months following the delivery of Used
Product to CIL by CTI; and that the quantity of Recovery Water to be produced by
CIL for sale to CTI pursuant to this Agreement.

Water produced by CIL using the Used Product returned to CIL by CTI pursuant to
Section 2.3(b) hereof.

F.O.B. CIL's facilities in Andover, Massachusetts or Xenia, Ohio, and CTI shall
pay all freight, insurance and taxes with respect to the sale and purchase of
the Product.
(b) CTI shall be entitled to a credit of $* per gram for each gram of
0-18 water contained in the Used Product returned to CIL by CTI pursuant to
Section 2.3(b) hereof. By way of example only, if CTI returns * of Used Product
with an enrichment of 80% to CIL, this amount would equal * of 0-18 water, and
CTI would be entitled to a credit of $*. Due to the length of time necessary to
produce Recovery Water from Used Product and in consideration of CIL's efforts
to produce such Recovery Water, any credit earned by CTI pursuant to this
Section 2.4(b) for Used Product returned to CIL from the date of this Agreement
through December 31, 2000 may be applied to CTI only against invoices for
Product which is shipped to CTI on or after January 1, 2001.

Product to such carrier shall be borne by CIL, except where the occurrence is

after the delivery of the Product to such carrier by CIL shall be borne by CTI,
except where the occurrence is due to a cause for which CIL is liable.

Agreement, and that it is willing and authorized to enter into this guarantee in
order to induce CIL to enter into this Agreement.
4. Terms of Payment. CIL's invoices for Products shall become due and
payable thirty (30) days after delivery, subject to adjustment for defective or
non-conforming Product in accordance with Section 6.

its test data and results. CTI agrees to provide CIL written notification of any
nonconformity within 90 days of receipt of the Product. In the event CIL has not

9. Force Majeure. Each Party's obligations (other than payment
obligations) under this Agreement and under any purchase order or invoice
submitted by either Party to the other hereunder shall be excused and suspended
during the existence of any event of force majeure, which shall consist of a
strike, work stoppage or other labor dispute or a war, riot, fire, flood, storm
or other Act of God beyond the control of such Party, or which may consist of a
governmental or governmental agency order of general or geographic area-wide
application that is not directed solely at such Party, but only to the extent
that such event is responsible for such Party's non-performance of any such
obligation. Neither Party shall be responsible or liable for any loss, damage,
injury, cost or expense suffered, incurred or sustained by the other Party by
reason of such nonperformance due to force-majeure, and provided that, in the
event of either Party's nonperformance due to a strike, work stoppage, or labor
dispute, such Party shall make its reasonable commercial efforts to recover or
restore any loss production or other effect of such noncompliance.
10. Mutual Representations. Each Party hereby represents and warrants
to the other: that it has full corporate power and authority and is duly
authorized under applicable law, its certificate of incorporation and its
by-laws, to own its properties and to conduct its business as presently
conducted and as herein contemplated, and to enter into and perform this
Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof; and that neither such entering

that it knows of no pending or threatened governmental actions (judicial,
regulatory or otherwise) that would or might prevent or materially interfere
with its performance of this Agreement, and each Party hereby covenants and
agrees promptly to notify the other in writing of the taking or threat of any
such action.

hereof, without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c) hereof. CTI
shall give CIL prompt written notice of such claim or lawsuit and shall permit
CIL to undertake the defense thereof at CIL's expense. CTI shall cooperate in
such defense, to the extent reasonably requested by CIL, at CIL's expense. If
CIL accepts the defense, CTI shall have the right to participate in such
defense, at its own expense, to the extent that in its judgment CTI may be
prejudiced thereby. In any claim made or suit brought for which CTI seeks

CTI's expense. CIL shall cooperate in such defense, to the extent reasonably
requested by CTI, at CTI's expense. If CTI accepts the defense, CIL shall have

from which CIL seeks indemnification under this section, CIL shall not settle,
offer to settle or admit liability or damages without the prior written consent
of CTI, such consent not being unreasonably withheld.

be deemed to constitute or create between either Party, or between or among
either Party and any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, an agency
or representative relationship or a partnership, joint venture or association,
nor shall this Agreement or any activity by either Party hereunder create or be
deemed to create any express or implied right, power or authority of either
Party to enter into any agreement or commitment, or to incur any liability or
obligation, on behalf of the other Party; it being understood and agreed that
each Party is and shall remain an independent contractor with respect to the
other.

Section 2.4*. The parties agree that the price will in no event be less than *

between the Parties concerning its subject matter, entirely superseding any
prior agreements or understanding, oral or in writing, concerning such subject
matter. It may be modified, supplemented or amended only by a written instrument
signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party.
20. Confidentiality. Neither Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the other, disclose to any third Party the existence of any aspect of
this Agreement except to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or
to the extent that such disclosure to employees is necessary for the disclosing
Party's performance hereof. CTI and CIL shall maintain in strict confidence any
and all materials and information relating to the Product disclosed or provided
by the other party and any and all confidential technical or business
information relating to the other party which has been obtained in connection
with performance of this Agreement, and shall not disclose any such materials or
information to any third party without the other party's prior written consent,
except where the disclosure is necessary for carrying out the purpose of this
Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply
with respect to any materials or information which;
7
(a) can be proven to have been in that party's possession prior to its
disclosure by the other party;
(b) is in the public domain prior to its disclosure by the other party;
(c) has become part of the public domain subsequent to its disclosure
by the other party through no fault of the recipient party;
(d) has been lawfully obtained from a third party having authority to
disclose, without incurring the obligation of confidentiality; or
(e) is required to be disclosed by applicable law.
In any case where either party hereto discloses any of the materials or
information disclosed or provided by the other party to a third party with the
consent of the other party or for the purpose of carrying out the purpose of
this Agreement, the disclosing party shall cause the third party to accept the
same confidentiality obligations as those of the disclosing party under this
Agreement. CTI hereby agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20 to
the same extent as CTI.
21. Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are only for
convenience of reference and shall have no bearing on the meaning or
construction of any provision of this Agreement.
22. Additional Provisions Related to PETNET. For so long as (a) PETNET
is a subsidiary or affiliate of CTI; and (b) CTI is not in breach of this
Agreement, PETNET shall meet its contractual obligations hereunder by purchasing
its requirements for Product from CTI, and shall not be required to purchase its
requirements for Product directly from CIL. Upon the earlier of (a) PETNET
ceasing to be a subsidiary or affiliate of CTI; or (b) CTI's breach of this
Agreement (the earlier of such events being referred to as the commencement of
the "PETNET Direct Purchase Period"), PETNET shall immediately purchase its
requirements for Product directly from CIL in accordance with this Agreement,
and otherwise comply with and fulfill all of the obligations applicable to CTI
under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the PETNET
Direct Purchase Period commences because PETNET ceases to be a subsidiary or
affiliate of CTI, so long as CTI continues during the PETNET Direct Purchase
Period to fulfill its minimum purchase obligation under Section 2.1 hereof,
PETNET shall not be required to make such minimum purchases. Nothing in this
Section 22 shall amend, modify or alter any of CTI's obligations under this
Agreement, which shall continue unaffected by the commencement of the PETNET
Direct Purchase Period and PETNET's obligations during such period.

23. Dispute Resolution.
23.1 Negotiation by Senior Executives. The parties shall attempt in
good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of, or relating to this Agreement
promptly by negotiation between senior executives who have authority to settle
the controversy. Any party may give the other parties written notice of any
dispute not resolved in the ordinary course of business. Within thirty (30) days
after delivery of the notice, the executives designated by each party shall meet
at a mutually acceptable time and place and thereafter as often as they
reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the dispute has
not been resolved within sixty (60) days after delivery of the notice, or if the
parties fail to meet within thirty (30) days, any party may initiate subsequent
proceedings as contemplated herein.
23.2 Arbitration. In the event of any disputes involving the parties,
or arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its execution, or performance
hereunder, other than disputes based on third party pleading following a claim
filed against either party by a third party (such as for product liability),
shall be settled by final and binding arbitration before the American
Arbitration Association (the "AAA") or its successor. Either party may submit
the dispute for arbitration by filing a written demand therefor with the AAA and
serving the demand therefore on the other party. All arbitration hereunder shall
be governed by the expedited commercial arbitration rules of the AAA in effect
at the time the arbitration is commences, as the same may be modified during the
arbitration. The arbitrator shall determine whether a dispute is subject to
arbitration and resolve matters relating to discovery. The arbitrator may grant
injunctive relief, but in no event will an arbitrator be empowered to award
punitive or exemplary damages. Any arbitration pursuant to this agreement shall
be conducted by one (1) arbitrator selected by the parties, or, if the parties
are unable to agree, by the AAA. The hearings in connection with any arbitration
hereunder shall be conducted in Washington, D.C., at such time and place
selected by the arbitrator. Any decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing
and a copy thereof shall be delivered to each of the parties within thirty (30)
days of the conclusion of the hearings. The judgment upon the award rendered in
any such arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be
entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
23.3 Injunctive Relief. If any of the covenants or agreements set forth
in this Agreement are violated or threatened to be violated, any party
acknowledges and agrees that such violation or threatened violation will cause
irreparable injury to the non-defaulting party, that the remedy at law for such
violation will be inadequate, and that the non-defaulting party shall be
entitled to obtain an injunction or preliminary injunction prohibiting the
continuance, occurrence or recurrence of such violation or threatened violation
or an injunction requiring compliance with such covenants or agreements, in
addition to (and not in limitation of) any other rights and remedies available
to the non-defaulting party at law or equity. The commencement or obtaining an
injunction shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to arbitration, damages or
other relief. In the event any party is required to post a bond in connection
with seeking or obtaining injunctive relief, then the parties agree that the
amount of such bond shall be in the lowest amount required by applicable law.
23.4 Forum. All actions brought by any party not submitted to
arbitration, other than the enforcement of any arbitration award, shall be
brought only in the federal courts located in Delaware, which shall have
exclusive jurisdiction for all claims arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or not arbitrated, other than enforcing an arbitration award. The
parties consent to
9
the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts in Delaware, and waive any
right they may have to object to the jurisdiction of such courts.
23.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties irrevocably waive trial by jury
in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, whether at law or in equity, brought
by either of them, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
23.6 Attorney's Fees. The prevailing party in any arbitration,
litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its
execution or its enforcement, shall recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs (including expert witness fees and costs, travel time and associated
costs, copy costs, deposition costs, exhibit costs, fees and costs on appeal,
fees and costs associated with execution on any judgment or order, special
transcript costs, and the appointment of a special master or discovery referee),
in addition to such other relief as may be awarded.
23.7 Governing- Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without application of any
conflict of laws principles.
