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

(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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

(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 accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without application of any
conflict of laws principles.
