Returns required to be filed by it on behalf of the Millipore Affiliated
Group or other relevant Millipore group for such year (collectively, the

Group Returns.

-4-
relevant Millipore group for a Pre-Distribution Year shall execute and file
such consents, elections and other documents as may be necessary or
appropriate for the proper filing of the Pre-Distribution Group Returns.
However, Mykrolis shall have the right to reasonably request that any
elections or accounting methods be used by Millipore in its preparation of
Pre-Distribution Group Returns where such election or method may impact
Mykrolis' liability for Taxes in the present, or any subsequent, taxable
year; Millipore shall not unreasonably refuse any such request by Mykrolis.
(c) For all periods beginning before the Distribution Date, Mykrolis
shall file each member of the Mykrolis Group's Tax Returns not filed on a

paragraph (a) above (the "Separate Returns"), and shall include on the
Separate Returns all of its income, gains, loss, deductions, credits and
similar items for all periods covered by the Separate Returns. For all
periods beginning before the Distribution Date, Millipore shall file each
member of the Millipore Group's Tax Returns not filed on a consolidated,
combined, unitary or similar basis by Millipore under paragraph (a) above
(the "Separate Returns"), and shall include on the Separate Returns all of
its income, gains, loss, deductions, credits and similar items for all
periods covered by the Separate Returns.
(d) Any Tax Return filed by Millipore or Mykrolis with respect to a
Pre-Distribution Period will be filed in conformance with Millipore's
existing intercompany pricing guidelines and rulings, unless Millipore
agrees otherwise.
3. Payment of Tax.
(a) Millipore shall pay all Tax shown as due on the Pre-Distribution
Group Returns. Mykrolis shall upon thirty (30) days' notice pay to
Millipore an amount equal to the Separate Return Tax Liability (or similar
liability calculated for state, local or foreign purposes) for each member
of the Mykrolis Group or other relevant Mykrolis group for all Post-
Separation Periods.
(b) Within ninety (90) days of the filing of the Pre-Distribution
Group Returns, Millipore shall be required to pay to Mykrolis any payments
required as a result of a Tax Benefit attributable to a Post-Separation
Period and realized by Millipore (or a Member of the Millipore Group or
other relevant Millipore group not included in the Mykrolis Group) from the
use of any member of the Mykrolis Group's Tax attributes, calculated on a
company-by-company basis by Millipore in its sole discretion in accordance
with the principles regarding the determination of Separate Return Tax
Liability (or similar liability calculated for state, local or foreign
purposes).
-5-
(c) Millipore shall be entitled to receive any overpayment of Tax
shown on any Pre-Distribution Group Return, as originally filed.
(d) The members of the Mykrolis Group shall pay all Tax shown as due
on its Separate Returns and all other Taxes for which any member of the
Mykrolis Group is liable. The members of the Millipore Group shall pay all
Tax shown as due on its Separate Returns and all other Taxes for which any
member of the Millipore Group is liable.
4. Adjustments to Tax Liabilities.
(a) Millipore shall be responsible for, and control all decisions as
to, Tax audits of, and proceedings regarding the Pre-Distribution Group
Returns and other Tax Returns filed by it. Mykrolis shall be responsible
for, and control all decisions as to, Tax audits of, and proceedings
regarding its Separate Returns.
(b) Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 4 and Section 7 below,
if the Tax liability on any Pre-Distribution Group Return which Millipore
files is adjusted, whether by means of an amended Return, claim for refund,
or after a Tax audit, Millipore shall pay all additional Tax due and shall
be entitled to receive all refunds of Tax except:
1. Subject to, and to the extent provided in, Section 8,
Mykrolis shall be entitled to refunds of the Mykrolis Group's or
any of its members' Tax for Pre-Distribution Years attributable
to carrybacks originating in years beginning after the
Separation Date;
2. Mykrolis shall within thirty (30) days' notice pay to
Millipore the additional Separate Return Tax Liability (or
similar liability calculated for state, local or foreign
purposes) of a member of the Mykrolis Group with respect to its
Pre-Distribution Group Returns to the extent the liability
relates to a Post-Separation Period.
(c) If the Tax liability with respect to the Separate Return of a
company is adjusted, as well as any other Taxes for which the company is
liable, whether by means of an amended Return, claim for refund, or after a
Tax audit, the company shall pay all additional Tax due and shall be
entitled to receive all refunds of Tax.
(d) Each party responsible for an audit or proceeding under
paragraph (a) shall keep the other currently informed as to the status of
any Tax audit or proceeding as to which the other party may be required to
make a payment (or otherwise account) to the responsible party under this
Section 4 and shall provide the other party with
-6-
copies of any correspondence or other written materials which the
responsible party either receives or provides to the Internal Revenue
Service or similar taxing authority concerning such a Tax audit or
proceeding. The party which may be required to make a payment under this
Section 4 shall have the right to participate at its expense in any such
Tax audit or proceeding, but this right shall not derogate from the
responsible party's power to control all decisions as to the Tax audit or
proceeding as provided in paragraph (a); provided, however, that the
responsible party shall seek consent from any participating party with
respect to any decision that may increase such participating party's Tax
liability pursuant to this Section 4, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
5. Foreign Restructuring Taxes
(a) In General. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
agreement, Foreign Restructuring Tax shall be allocated in the following
manner:
(i) 100% to Millipore and 0% to Mykrolis for amounts imposed by any
country in Europe,
(ii) 7% to Millipore and 93% to Mykrolis for amounts imposed by
Japan,
(iii) 28% to Millipore and 72% to Mykrolis for amounts imposed by any

(b) Foreign Tax Credits Attributable to Foreign Restructuring Taxes.
Any Tax Benefit, attributable to an increase in foreign tax credits
resulting from a Foreign Restructuring Tax, shall be allocated in the same
manner and proportion as the allocation of such Foreign Restructuring Tax
pursuant to Section 5(a) above.
(c) Subsequent Adjustments. If taking into account subsequent events
(including, for example, carrybacks of other foreign tax credits and
adjustments that affect foreign tax credit computations) one of the parties
determines that it did not receive any portion of the Tax Benefit that it
is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5(b), Mykrolis shall pay
Millipore, or Millipore shall pay Mykrolis, as appropriate, an amount such
that the net payment (if any) equals the portion of the net Tax Benefit
(taking into account such subsequent events) specified in paragraph (b)
Section 5.
6. Dividends from Foreign Subsidiaries/Use of Foreign Tax Credits
-7-
(a) Mykrolis and Millipore hereby acknowledge that Millipore, in its
sole discretion, may cause any non-U.S. member of the Millipore Group or
Mykrolis Group to issue dividends prior to the Distribution Date, or take
any other action which causes any inclusion of income for U.S. federal
income tax purposes that is attributable to or measured by the earnings and
profits of such non-U.S. member of the Millipore Group or Mykrolis Group.
Within 90 days of the filing of a tax return in which Mykrolis Group
realizes (i) a Tax Benefit, including a reduction in Separate Return Tax
Liability under Section 3(a), or (ii) an increase in amounts payable by
Millipore under Section 3(b), in either case attributable to an increase in
foreign tax credits by reason of such dividends or other action, Mykrolis
shall pay Millipore (or amounts payable under Section 3 shall be adjusted)
in an amount equal to such Tax Benefit or increase.
7. Tax Related Indemnities.
(a) Mykrolis shall indemnify and hold harmless the Millipore Group
against any and all Taxes for which it or any member of the Mykrolis Group
is responsible under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, Millipore
shall indemnify and hold the Mykrolis Group harmless against any and all
Taxes the Millipore Group is required to bear under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any liability under section 1.1502-6 of the
Treasury Regulations.
(b) If (i) for any reason a member or members of the Mykrolis Group
or a shareholder of such member or members is solely responsible for the
Distribution's failure to qualify under section 355 of the Code, or (ii)
the stock of Mykrolis is acquired by one or more persons, whether directly
or indirectly, such that section 355(e) of the Code causes such stock not
to be treated as "qualified property" for purposes of section 361(c)(2) of
the Code, the Mykrolis Group shall be responsible for and Mykrolis shall
indemnify the Millipore Group against all Spin Damages relating to such
Distribution.
(c) If the Distribution fails to qualify under section 355 of the
Code and if such failure is the responsibility of or is by reason of both
the Millipore Group and either a member of the Mykrolis Group or a
shareholder of such member then (I) the Mykrolis Group shall be responsible
for and Mykrolis shall indemnify the Millipore Group against a percentage
of the Spin Damages relating to such Distribution equal to the quotient of
(x) Mykrolis' Market Valuation, divided by (y) the sum of (i) Mykrolis'
Market Valuation, and (ii) Millipore's Market Valuation, and (II) Millipore
shall be responsible for and indemnify Mykrolis against a percentage of the
Spin Damages relating to such Distribution equal to the quotient of (x)
Millipore's Market Valuation, divided by (y) the sum of (i) Mykrolis'
Market Valuation, and (ii) Millipore's Market Valuation.
-8-
(d) If (i) for any reason Millipore is solely responsible for the
Distribution's failure to qualify under section 355 of the Code, or (ii)
the stock of Millipore is acquired by one or more persons, whether directly
or indirectly, such that section 355(e) of the Code causes the stock of
Mykrolis not to be treated as "qualified property" for purposes of section
361(c)(2) of the Code, Millipore shall be responsible for and indemnify
Mykrolis against all Spin Damages relating to such Distribution.
8. Carrybacks.
If a member of the Mykrolis Affiliated Group incurs a net operating loss in
a year which begins after the Distribution Date, the Mykrolis Affiliated Group
shall elect under section 172(b)(3) of the Code to relinquish the carryback of
the net operating loss to any Pre-Distribution Taxable Year unless Millipore
consents in writing to such carryback. If Millipore consents to such a
carryback or if a member of the Mykrolis Affiliated Group incurs in such a year
a net capital loss, unused general business tax credit, unused foreign tax
credit or any other item that is carried back to a Pre-Distribution Taxable
Year, Millipore shall pay such member an amount equal to the Tax refund received
by Millipore as a direct result of the carryback. Millipore shall cooperate
fully in obtaining such a refund, but any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Millipore in connection with such efforts shall be borne Mykrolis. In the event
a subsequent audit or proceeding increases or reduces the carryback, Millipore
shall promptly pay Mykrolis the amount of any additional Tax refund received by
Millipore resulting from such an increase and Mykrolis shall promptly pay (or
otherwise account to) Millipore the amount of any deficiency in Tax assessed
against Millipore.
9. Gross-Up for Taxes on Required Payments
If the receipt or accrual of any payment required by this Agreement is
subject to any Tax, the payor shall pay an additional amount so that the total
amount received by the payee, net of any applicable Taxes, equals the amount of
the required payment.
10. Timely Payments
Any payments required by this Agreement that are not paid when due under
the terms of this Agreement shall accrue interest at the current LIBOR rate
plus two percentage points, accrued thereon until the date of full payment.
11. Mutual Cooperation.
(a) Each member of the Millipore Group and the Mykrolis Group shall
provide each other with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by
either of them in connection with the preparation and execution of any Tax
Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any
judicial or administrative
-9-
proceedings relating to any Tax liability, and each will, upon the request
of the other, provide the other with any records or information which may
be relevant to such Return, audit or examination proceedings.
(b) Each party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work
papers, and all material records and other documents relating thereto,
until the later of (i) the time the applicable statutes of limitations for
assessment of Tax for the year has expired, and (ii) the time a final
settlement of all payments which may be required under this Agreement is
