| 6.4. | Termination of this Agreement shall not in any way operate so as to impair or destroy any of the rights or remedies of either party, either at law or in equity, nor shall it relieve the parties of their obligations pursuant to Sections 1, 3.1, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 5.1,5.2, 5.3,6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14 ,15 and 16 hereof, each of which shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. |
| 7. | PRICES AND PAYMENTS |
| 7.1. | Machine Hourly Rates. The hourly rates (“Machine Hourly Rates”) for use by Entegris of Millipore’s VMF4 Line, Film 1 Annealing Line and Mix Room equipment (the “Machines”), and the invoicing thereof, shall be as set forth in this Section 7.1. Machine usage (including production and research and development usage) shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Annex 2. |
| 7.1.1. | Machine Hourly Rates. Commencing on the Effective Date, the Machine Hourly Rates that are currently in use by the parties during 2005 shall be applicable from the Effective Date through December 31, 2005. Commencing on January 1, 2006, the Machine Hourly Rates set forth in Annex 1, subject to the annual adjustments as set forth below in this Section, shall be applicable from the Effective Date through the end of the period of the Term of this Agreement. The Machine Hourly Rates shall be adjusted annually as of January 1 of each year, beginning in calendar year 2007, to reflect (i) the then most recent August-to-following-August percentage changes, up or down, in the Producer Price Index for the industry group Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (series identification number PCU325412325412), (ii) any demonstrated increases in Millipore’s costs associated directly with use of the Machines hereunder and which costs are extraordinary, not presently anticipated and not reflected in the Producer Price Index used pursuant to clause (i) above, and (iii) changes to depreciation charges as a result of capital improvements to the Machines for the production of Membranes, as set forth in Section 7.4.2. Machine Hourly Rates to Entegris are independent of Millipore production volumes on the Machines. |
| 7.1.2. | Invoicing for Machine Hourly Rates. Millipore shall be entitled to invoice Entegris monthly for Machine usage following the end of each month. The Machine Hourly Rates used for the first two months of each calendar quarter shall be the average Machine Hourly Rates that would apply for the budgeted use of each Machine for such quarter, as calculated by Millipore based on the then most recent projections provided by Entegris pursuant to Section 5.5.2 hereof. The invoice for the third month of each calendar quarter shall be adjusted to effect a “true up” to actual Machine usage by invoicing for the net difference between the Machine Hourly Rate applicable to the actual hourly usage of the Machine in question for |
Page 14 of 27
Amended and Restated Membrane Manufacture and Supply Agreement
Between Millipore Corporation and Entegris, Inc. dated November 30, 2005
| the entire quarter multiplied times the actual hours of usage of such Machine for the quarter less the amounts invoiced for usage of such Machine for the first two months of the quarter. This “true up” is so that Entegris effectively pays for all of a quarter’s hours at the Machine Hourly Rates appropriate for those total hours. |
| 7.2. | Occupancy Rates. Commencing on the Effective Date, rates for occupancy and use of the Premises shall be as set forth in Exhibit B. |
| 7.3. | Support Rates. Commencing on the Effective Date, rates for extraordinary Millipore supervisory, operational assistance and technical support (as described in Section 3.2 hereof) that are currently in use by the parties during 2005 shall be applicable from the Effective Date through December 31, 2005. Commencing on January 1, 2006, rates for extraordinary Millipore supervisory, operational assistance and technical support (as described in Section 3.2 hereof) shall be as shown in Annex 1. These rates will be adjusted annually as of January 1 of each year, beginning in calendar year 2007, to reflect (i) the then most recent August-to-following-August percentage changes, up or down, in the Producer Price Index for the industry group Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (series identification number PCU325412325412) and (ii) any demonstrated increases in Millipore’s costs associated directly with providing such support hereunder and which costs are extraordinary, not presently anticipated and not reflected in the Producer Price Index used pursuant to clause (i) above. |
| 7.4. | Impact of Capital Investment on Prices. |
| 7.4.1. | Entegris shall be responsible for funding required capital improvements to the Entegris Equipment for production of hydrophobic Membranes. Millipore shall be responsible for funding required capital improvements to the Millipore Equipment for production of hydrophilic Membranes. To the extent that capital improvements are required for the Millipore Equipment used in the production of hydrophobic Membranes, responsibility for funding that capital improvement shall be mutually agreed upon in accordance with Section I.1.7 of the Supplement. If one party funds the purchase of additional equipment for use in manufacture of UPE Membranes at the Premises, that equipment shall be owned by the funding party. |
| 7.4.2. | Changes to depreciation charges as a result of capital improvements to the Equipment for the production of Membranes will be reflected in the appropriate work center rates and would be part of the rate adjustment process set forth in Sections 7.1.2 and 7.3. Millipore and Entegris each agree to inform the other of capital purchases that may eventually affect proposed rate/price changes hereunder no later than the time that purchase orders for such capital purchases are placed. |
