NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Entegris is a leading provider of a wide range of products for purifying, protecting and transporting critical materials used in processing and manufacturing in the semiconductor and other high-technology industries. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, particularly receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and intangibles, accrued expenses and income taxes and related accounts, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position as of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, and equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of ASC subtopic 605-25 Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements by allowing the use of the “best estimate of selling price” for determining the selling price of a deliverable. A vendor is now required to use its best estimate of the selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling price cannot be determined. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted. This guidance was effective for the Company in 2011 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Accounting Standards Updates issued not effective for the Company until after April 2, 2011 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $8.3 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to income tax expense of $4.8 million in the three months ended April 3, 2010. The effective tax rate was 22.0% in the 2011 period, compared to 22.5% in the 2010 period.

In 2011, the Company’s effective tax rate was lower than U.S. statutory rates mainly due to the $3.6 million decrease in the Company’s U.S. deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Management concluded the Company will realize certain deferred tax assets related to current taxes payable and has thus released the allowance for a portion of U.S. deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate also benefitted from the Company’s tax holiday in

Malaysia whereby, as a result of employment commitments, research and development expenditures and capital investments made by the Company, income from certain manufacturing activities in Malaysia is exempt from income taxes. The effective tax rate is also affected by lower tax rates in certain of the Company’s taxable jurisdictions.

In 2010, the Company’s effective tax rate was also lower than U.S. statutory rates mainly due to the $2.8 million decrease in the Company’s U.S. deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Management concluded the Company will realize certain deferred tax assets related to current taxes payable and has thus released the allowance for a portion of U.S. deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate also benefitted from the Company’s tax holiday in Malaysia. The effective tax rate is also affected by lower tax rates in certain of the Company’s taxable jurisdictions.

Approximately 2.2 million and 5.7 million of the Company’s stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, respectively, because the exercise prices of the stock options were greater than the average price of the Company’s common stock, and therefore their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

6. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has three reportable operating segments that provide unique products and services, are separately managed and have separate financial information evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in determining resource allocation and assessing performance.

The Company’s financial reporting segments are Contamination Control Solutions (CCS), Microenvironments (ME), and Specialty Materials (SMD).

 

   

CCS: provides a wide range of products and subsystems that purify, monitor and deliver critical liquids and gases used in the semiconductor manufacturing process.

 

   

ME: provides products that protect wafers, reticles and electronic components at various stages of transport, processing and storage related to semiconductor manufacturing.

 

   

SMD: provides specialized graphite components used in semiconductor equipment and offers low-temperature, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition coatings of critical components of semiconductor manufacturing equipment used in various stages of the manufacturing process as well as graphite and silicon graphite for certain critical industrial markets.

Inter-segment sales are not significant. Segment profit is defined as net sales less direct segment operating expenses, excluding certain unallocated expenses, consisting mainly of general and administrative costs for the Company’s human resources, finance and information technology functions as well as interest expense, and amortization of intangible assets.

Beginning in 2011, the Company changed its management structure for a particular department. The expenses of this department, consisting mainly of engineering, research and development expenses, are now included in the determination of ME’s segment profit. These expenses had previously been included in the determination of SMD’s segment profit. Accordingly, the Company has adjusted the corresponding items of segment information for earlier periods.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

This overview is not a complete discussion of the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations; it is intended merely to facilitate an understanding of the most salient aspects of its financial condition and operating performance and to provide a context for the detailed discussion and analysis that follows and must be read in its entirety in order to fully understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Entegris, Inc. is a leading provider of products and services that purify, protect and transport the critical materials used in key technology-driven industries. Entegris derives most of its revenue from the sale of products and services to the semiconductor and related industries. The Company’s customers consist primarily of semiconductor manufacturers, semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers as well as thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) and hard disk manufacturers, which are served through direct sales efforts, as well as sales and distribution relationships, in the United States, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

The Company offers a diverse product portfolio which includes more than 17,000 standard and customized products that it believes provide the most comprehensive offering of contamination control solutions and microenvironment products and services to the microelectronics industry. Certain of these products are unit-driven and consumable products that rely on the level of semiconductor manufacturing activity to drive growth, while others rely on expansion of manufacturing capacity to drive growth. The Company’s unit-driven and consumable products includes membrane-based liquid filters and housings, metal-based gas filters, resin-based gas purifiers, wafer shippers, disk-shipping containers and test assembly and packaging products and consumable graphite and silicon carbide components used in plasma etch, ion implant and chemical vapor deposition processes in semiconductor manufacturing. The Company’s capital expense-driven products include components, systems and subsystems that use electro-mechanical, pressure differential and related technologies to permit semiconductor and other electronics manufacturers to monitor and control the flow and condition of process liquids used in these manufacturing processes, and process carriers that protect the integrity of in-process wafers.

The Company’s fiscal year is the calendar period ending each December 31. The Company’s fiscal quarters consist of 13-week or 14-week periods that end on Saturday. The Company’s fiscal quarters in 2011 end April 2, 2011, July 2, 2011, October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011. Unaudited information for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010 and the financial position as of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, except for the historical information, contains forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and to the cautionary statement set forth below. These forward-looking statements could differ materially from actual results. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or unanticipated occurrences. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Key operating factors Key factors, which management believes have the largest impact on the overall results of operations of Entegris, Inc., include:

 

   

Level of sales Since a significant portion of the Company’s product costs (except for raw materials, purchased components and direct labor) are largely fixed in the short to medium term, an increase or decrease in sales affects gross profits and overall profitability significantly. Also, increases or decreases in sales and operating profitability affect certain costs such as incentive compensation and commissions, which are highly variable in nature. The Company’s sales are subject to the effects of industry cyclicality, technological change, substantial competition, pricing pressures and foreign currency fluctuation.

 

11


Table of Contents
   

Variable margin on sales The Company’s variable margin on sales is determined by selling prices and the costs of manufacturing and raw materials. This is also affected by a number of factors, which include the Company’s sales mix, purchase prices of raw material (especially resin and purchased components), competition, both domestic and international, direct labor costs, and the efficiency of the Company’s production operations, among others.

 

   

Fixed cost structure Increases or decreases in sales have a large impact on profitability. There are a number of large fixed or semi-fixed cost components, which include salaries, indirect labor and benefits, facility costs, lease expense, and depreciation and amortization. It is not possible to vary these costs easily in the short term as volumes fluctuate. Thus changes in sales volumes can affect the usage and productivity of these cost components and can have a large effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Overall Summary of Financial Results for the Three Months Ended April 2, 2011

For the three months ended April 2, 2011, net sales increased by $42.6 million, or 27%, to $203.1 million compared to $160.5 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010. Net sales for the period represented the highest quarterly sales level ever achieved by the Company and reflected the eighth consecutive quarter of increased sales. The year-over-year sales increase included a favorable foreign currency translation effect of $8.1 million related to the strengthening of most international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, most notably the Japanese yen, and Taiwanese dollar. Excluding this factor, net sales rose 21% in the first quarter of 2011 when compared to last year’s first quarter.

Reflecting the year-over-year sales increase, the Company reported a higher gross profit, despite a lower gross margin rate. The Company’s gross margin in the first quarter of 2011 was 43.5% versus 45.6% in the year-ago period. Operating costs, consisting of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and engineering, research and development (ER&D) costs, rose 4% for first quarter 2011 when compared to first quarter 2010, slightly offsetting the increase in gross profit.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company reported net earnings of $29.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the quarter ended April 2, 2011 compared to net earnings of $16.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the quarter ended April 3, 2010.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company’s operating activities provided cash flow of $11.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $142.6 million at April 2, 2011 compared with $134.0 million at December 31, 2010. The Company had no outstanding short-term bank borrowings or long-term debt at April 2, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The critical accounting policies affected most significantly by estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are described in Item 7 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the critical accounting policies used to prepare its consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable-related valuation allowances, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and share-based compensation. There have been no material changes in these aforementioned critical accounting policies.

Net sales For the three months ended April 2, 2011, net sales increased by $42.6 million, or 27%, to $203.1 million compared to $160.5 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010. First-quarter sales growth reflected continued positive trends in both the Company’s core semiconductor market and other markets served. Utilization rates and production levels at semiconductor fab customers remained at high levels, and capital spending in the semiconductor industry demonstrated solid improvement. Each of the Company’s operating segments experienced a net sales increase.

The sales increase included a favorable foreign currency translation effect of $8.1 million related to the year-over-year strengthening of most international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, most notably the Japanese yen and Taiwanese dollar. Excluding this factor, net sales rose approximately 21% in 2011 when compared to 2010.

Sales of unit-driven products increased 21%, while sales of capital-driven products rose 35%. Sales of unit-driven products represented 61% of total sales and capital-driven products represented 39% of total sales in the quarter ended April 2, 2011. For the first quarter of 2010 and fourth quarter of 2010 this split was 63%/37% and 62%/38%, respectively. This shift in relative demand for capital-driven products reflects increased capital spending by semiconductor customers for capacity-related products.

On a geographic basis, total sales to North America were 27%, Asia (excluding Japan) 40%, Europe 16% and Japan 17% compared to North America were 31%, Asia (excluding Japan) 38%, Europe 14% and Japan 17% in the first quarter a year ago. All regions experienced significant year-over-year sales increases. Sales in North America, Asia (excluding Japan), Europe and Japan rose 13%, 32%, 46% and 23% respectively, in the first quarter compared to a year ago, with a portion of the increase for sales outside North America related to favorable foreign currency translation effects.

On a sequential basis, revenues rose 12% from $182.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Sales of unit-driven products increased 8%, while sales of capital-driven products rose 17%, reflecting the increase in capital spending noted above. On a geographic basis, total sales to North America, Asia, Europe, and Japan increased 13%, 12%, 20% and 2%, respectively. The sequential sales increase included a favorable foreign currency translation effect of $2.2 million related to the quarter-over-quarter strengthening of most international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, most notably the Taiwanese dollar. Excluding this factor, net sales rose 10% on a sequential quarter basis.

Gross profit The Company reported considerably higher gross profits, despite a decreased gross margin rate. Gross profit in the three months ended April 2, 2011 increased to $88.3 million, up from $73.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010. The gross margin rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 43.5% versus 45.6% for the first quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

The year-over-year sales increase accounted for the gross profit increase for 2011. The gross profit improvement associated with sales gains was offset partly by the lower gross margin percentage. The decrease in gross margin rate mainly reflected slightly lower factory utilization compared to a year earlier, as well as sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $35.8 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011, essentially unchanged when compared to the comparable three-month period a year earlier. Reflecting the increase in net sales, SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales declined to 17.6% from 22.3% a year earlier. Employee costs, which make up about two-thirds of overall SG&A expenses, decreased slightly, mainly reflecting lower incentive compensation in 2011, in turn offsetting mostly nominal expense increases in other SG&A expense categories. The year-over-year increase in SG&A costs includes a foreign currency translation effect of $1.3 million.

Engineering, research and development expenses Engineering, research and development (ER&D) expenses related to the support of current product lines and the development of new products and manufacturing technologies were $12.5 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to the $10.8 million reported in the year-ago period. ER&D expenses as a percent of net sales decreased to 6.2% from 6.7%, indicative of the increase in net sales. The increase in ER&D expense was due to higher employee and ER&D project costs.

Amortization of intangible assets Amortization of intangible assets was $2.7 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to $4.3 million in the year-ago period. The decline mainly reflected the absence of amortization expense for certain acquired developed technology and trade name assets which became fully amortized in 2010.

Interest expense, net Interest expense was $0.2 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to interest expense of $1.2 million in the year-ago period. The variance was mainly due to absence of outstanding debt in 2011. Interest expense in the first quarter of 2011 consisted mainly of the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Other income Other income was $0.4 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011, mainly reflecting foreign currency transaction gains. Other income was $0.3 million in the year-ago period, also mainly reflecting foreign currency transaction gains.

Income tax expense The Company recorded income tax expense of $8.3 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to income tax expense of $4.8 million in the three months ended April 3, 2010. The effective tax rate was 22.0% in the 2011 period, compared to 22.5% in the 2010 period.

In 2011, the Company’s effective tax rate was lower than U.S. statutory rates mainly due to the $3.6 million decrease in the Company’s U.S. deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Management concluded the Company will realize certain deferred tax assets related to current taxes payable and has thus released the allowance for a portion of U.S. deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate also benefitted from the Company’s tax holiday in Malaysia whereby, as a result of employment commitments, research and development expenditures and capital investments made by the Company, income from certain manufacturing activities in Malaysia is exempt from income taxes. The effective tax rate is also affected by lower tax rates in certain of the Company’s taxable jurisdictions.

In 2010, the Company’s effective tax rate was also lower than U.S. statutory rates mainly due to the $2.8 million decrease in the Company’s U.S. deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Management concluded the Company will realize certain deferred tax assets related to current taxes payable and has thus released the allowance for a portion of U.S. deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate also benefitted from the Company’s tax holiday in Malaysia. The effective tax rate is also affected by lower tax rates in certain of the Company’s taxable jurisdictions.

Net income attributable to Entegris, Inc. The Company recorded net income of $29.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the three-month period ended April 2, 2011 compared to net income of $16.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the three-month period ended April 3, 2010. The improvement mainly reflects the Company’s higher net sales and corresponding increase in gross profit.

Contamination Control Solutions (CCS)

For the first quarter of 2011, CCS net sales increased 31%, to $132.2 million from $100.7 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was led by improved sales of fluid components and systems and liquid filtration products. CCS reported a segment profit of $39.8 million in the first quarter of 2011, up 41% from the $28.2 million segment profit in the year-ago period. The increase in sales volume and the resulting improvement in gross profit primarily account for the year-to-year change in the segment’s operating results. Slightly offsetting the increase in gross profit, CCS operating expenses increased 6%, mainly due to higher selling and engineering, research and development costs.

Sales were up 12% on a sequential basis from the fourth quarter of 2010, accompanied by a 15% increase in segment profit. The sales increase was led by improved sales of fluid components and systems. Demand for liquid and gas filtration products was strong throughout the quarter as well.

Microenvironments (ME)

For the first quarter of 2011, ME net sales increased 15%, to $48.2 million from $41.9 million in the comparable period last year. The revenue increase was led by improved sales of 200mm and 300mm wafer process products. ME reported a segment profit of $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a $8.5 million segment profit in the year-ago period. Lower gross margins, resulting from less favorable sales mix, contributed to the flat segment profit. In addition, ME operating expenses increased 7%, mainly due to higher selling and engineering, research and development costs associated with development of new 300mm wafer process products.

Sales were up 5% on a sequential basis from the fourth quarter of 2010, with nearly all the increase due to improved sales of 300mm wafer process products. Segment profit for ME improved by 10% sequentially.

Specialty Materials (SMD)

For the first quarter of 2011, SMD net sales increased 27%, to $22.7 million, from $17.8 million in the comparable period last year. Sales were up 25% on a sequential basis from the fourth quarter of 2010. The increases were due to the continued rebound in sales of specialty coated products and graphite-based components. SMD reported a segment profit of $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to a segment profit of $2.8 million in both the first and fourth quarters of 2010.

Unallocated general and administrative expenses

Unallocated general and administrative expenses totaled $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities Cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $11.1 million in the three months ended April 2, 2011. Cash generated by operating activities in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily the result of net income adjusted for non-cash expenses (such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation). The net impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities, mainly reflecting an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued liabilities, absorbed $30.2 million in operating cash flow.

Accounts receivable, net of foreign currency translation adjustments, increased by $10.1 million in the first three months of 2011. This increase reflects the continued upturn in sales of the Company’s products. The Company’s days sales outstanding was 61 days compared to 63 days at the beginning of the year. Inventories at the end of the quarter decreased by $0.7 million from December 31, 2010, after taking into account the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments and the provision for excess and obsolete inventory.

Accrued liabilities were $21.3 million lower than reported at December 31, 2010, mainly due to the payment of fiscal year 2010 incentive compensation during the first quarter of 2011, while accounts payable rose by $5.3 million.

Working capital at April 2, 2011 stood at $318.1 million, up from $279.5 million as of December 31, 2010, and included $142.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $134.0 million as of December 31, 2010.

Investing activities Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $7.3 million in the three-month period ended April 2, 2011. Acquisition of property and equipment totaled $6.7 million, primarily for additions related to manufacturing equipment, tooling and information systems. Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company is restricted from making capital expenditures in excess of $30.0 million in the first ten months of 2011. The Company does not anticipate that this limit on capital expenditures will have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Financing activities Cash provided by financing activities totaled $3.0 million during the three-month period ended April 2, 2011, reflecting proceeds received in connection with common shares issued under the Company’s employee stock purchase and stock option plans.

The Company has a revolving credit facility maturing November 1, 2011, with a revolving credit commitment of $60.0 million, all of which is available to the Company dependent upon the Company’s borrowing base, which is determined based on the Company’s levels of qualifying domestic accounts receivable, inventories and value of its property, plant and equipment. As of April 2, 2011, the Company’s borrowing base supported the entirety of its available revolving commitment amount of $60.0 million. As of that date, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $0.5 million undrawn on outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. Through April 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants included in the terms of the revolving credit facility.

The Company also has a line of credit with two banks that provide for borrowings of Japanese yen for the Company’s Japanese subsidiary, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $14.3 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit at April 2, 2011.

At April 2, 2011, the Company’s shareholders’ equity stood at $494.7 million, up 8% from $459.6 million at the beginning of the year. The increase reflected net earnings attributable to the Company of $29.2 million, additional paid-in capital of $1.9 million associated with the Company’s share-based compensation expense, $2.9 million received in connection with common shares issued under the Company’s stock option and employee stock purchase plans, and cumulative translation adjustments of $0.9 million.

As of April 2, 2011, the Company’s sources of available funds were its cash and cash equivalents of $142.6 million, funds available under its revolving credit facility and international credit facilities and cash flow generated from operations. The Company must maintain a minimum of $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents in the United States under the terms of its revolving credit facility agreement.

Table of Contents

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, funds available under its revolving credit facility and international credit facilities and cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital and investment requirements for the next twelve months. If available liquidity is not sufficient to meet the Company’s operating and debt service obligations as they come due, management will need to pursue alternative arrangements through additional equity or debt financing in order to meet the Company’s cash requirements. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing would be available on commercially acceptable terms.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Refer to note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements At this time, the Company does not anticipate that recently issued accounting guidance that has not yet been adopted will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Other Accounting Standards Updates issued not effective for the Company until after April 2, 2011 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Information The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).

The Company also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures as a complement to financial measures provided in accordance with GAAP in order to better assess and reflect trends affecting the Company’s business and results of operations. Regulation G, “Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and other regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income together with related measures thereof, and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (EPS).

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as net income attributable to Entegris, Inc. before (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, (2) equity in net earnings of affiliates, (3) income tax expense (4) other income, net, (5) interest expense, net, (6) amortization of intangible assets and (7) depreciation. Adjusted Operating Income, another non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as its Adjusted EBITDA plus depreciation. The Company also utilizes non-GAAP measures whereby Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income are each divided by the Company’s net sales to derive Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Operating Margin, respectively.

Non-GAAP EPS, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as net income attributable to Entegris, Inc. before (1) amortization of intangible assets, (2) impairment of equity investments and (3) the tax effect of the other adjustments to net income attributable to Entegris, Inc.

The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and manage its business and believes these measures provide investors and analysts additional and meaningful information for the assessment of the Company’s ongoing results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to assist in the evaluation of the performance of its business segments and to make operating decisions.

Management believes the Company’s non-GAAP measures help indicate the Company’s baseline performance before certain gains, losses or other charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s business or future outlook and offer a useful view of business performance in that the measures provide a more consistent means of comparing performance. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures aid investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s results by providing a higher degree of transparency for such items and providing a level of disclosure that will help investors understand how management plans, measures and evaluates the Company’s business performance. Management believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors’ understanding of the Company’s historic operating trends by providing an additional basis for comparisons to prior periods.

Table of Contents

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income to assist it in evaluations of the Company’s operating performance by excluding items that management does not consider as relevant in the results of its ongoing operations. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are used by management for planning and forecasting purposes, including the preparation of internal budgets; for allocating resources to enhance financial performance; for evaluating the effectiveness of operational strategies; and for evaluating the Company’s capacity to fund capital expenditures, secure financing and expand its business.

In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these non-GAAP financial measures in managing its business, the Company’s Board of Directors uses non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation process to determine management compensation.

The Company believes that certain analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income and non-GAAP EPS as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of firms in the Company’s industry. Additionally, lenders or potential lenders use Adjusted EBITDA measures to evaluate the Company’s creditworthiness.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures or information provided in accordance with GAAP. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.

Management notes that the use of non-GAAP measures has limitations:

First, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized. Accordingly, the methodology used to produce the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not computed under GAAP and may differ notably from the methodology used by other companies. For example, the Company’s non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA or an adjusted EBITDA measure reported by other companies.

Second, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude items such as amortization of intangibles and depreciation that are recurring. Amortization of intangibles and depreciation have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense with an impact upon the Company’s results of operations, notwithstanding the lack of immediate impact upon cash flows.

Third, there is no assurance the Company will not have future restructuring activities, gains or losses on sale of equity investments, charges for fair value mark-up of acquired inventory sold, accelerated write-offs of debt-issuance costs or similar items and, therefore, may need to record additional charges (or credits) associated with such items, including the tax effects thereon. The exclusion of these items from the Company’s non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an implication that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Management considers these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and non-GAAP EPS, and reconciliations between these financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP equivalents are presented below in the accompanying tables.

Cautionary Statements This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify these “forward-looking statements.” All forecasts and projections in this report are “forward-looking statements,” and are based on management’s current expectations of the Company’s near-term results, based on current information available pertaining to the Company. The risks which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in such “forward looking statements” include, without limit, the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under the headings “Risks Relating to our Business and Industry”, “Risks Related to Our Borrowings”, “Manufacturing Risks”, ”International Risks”, and “Risks Related to Owning Our Securities” as well as in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Entegris’ principal financial market risks are sensitivities to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s interest-bearing cash equivalents are subject to interest rate fluctuations. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments with maturities of three months or less. A 100 basis point change in interest rates would potentially increase or decrease annual net income by approximately $0.9 million annually.

The cash flows and results of operations of the Company’s foreign-based operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with its foreign-based operations. At April 2, 2011, the Company was party to forward contracts to deliver Malaysian Ringgits and Japanese Yen with notional values of $20.0 million and $34.4 million, respectively. At April 2, 2011, the Company was party to forward contracts to deliver U.S. dollars in exchange for Korean Won and Taiwanese Dollars with notional values of $4.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”)) as of April 2, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of that evaluation date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred. The following discussion provides information regarding certain litigation to which the Company was a party that were pending as of April 2, 2011.

As previously disclosed: (i) on March 3, 2003 the Company’s predecessor, Mykrolis Corporation, filed a lawsuit against Pall Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging infringement of two of the Company’s U.S. patents by certain fluid separation systems and related assemblies used in photolithography applications manufactured and sold by Pall Corporation; (ii) on December 16, 2005 Pall Corporation filed a lawsuit against the Company in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging infringement of two of plaintiff’s patents by one of the Company’s gas filtration products and by the packaging for certain of the Company’s liquid filtration products; (iii) on April 6, 2006 the Company filed a second lawsuit against Pall Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging infringement of the Company’s newly issued U.S. patent No.7,021,667 by certain filter assembly products used in photolithography applications that are manufactured and sold by Pall; (iv) on August 23, 2006 the Company filed a third lawsuit against Pall Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging infringement of the Company’s newly issued U.S. patent No. 7,037,424 by certain fluid separation modules and related separation apparatus, including the product known as the EZD-3 Filter Assembly, used in photolithography applications that are manufactured and sold by Pall; and (v) on May, 4, 2007 Pall Corporation filed a second lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that certain of the Company’s point-of-use filtration products infringe a newly issued Pall patent, as well as three older Pall patents. In each of the above lawsuits the plaintiff sought damages and/or injunctive relief against the alleged infringement.

On January 13, 2011 the Company and Pall Corporation entered into a Release, Settlement and License Agreement that effected a comprehensive settlement of all of the above patent infringement litigation pending between the companies. Among other things, the terms of this settlement permit both companies to continue to manufacture their existing product lines. In accordance with the terms of this settlement, a stipulation and proposed order of dismissal was filed with the appropriate court for each of the above lawsuits within 5 days following the above settlement date and the court in each case has entered a final order of dismissal.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factors enumerated below, as of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2011.

While we have not, to date, encountered any material adverse consequences from the occurrence of the recent earthquake, tsunami and subsequent problems affecting nuclear power plants in Japan, these events could, in the future, have a negative impact on our supply chain, our ability to deliver products, the cost of our products, and the demand for our products. Approximately 20% of the Company’s revenues have historically resulted from sales to Japanese customers. As a result of these events, we may, in the future, encounter reduced demand from our Japanese customers. In addition, even if supply is not interrupted or delayed, or demand from Japanese customers is not reduced, shortages of key items may result in price increases, which our suppliers may seek to pass on to us. In addition, our customers outside of Japan may be unable to produce finished products as a result of Japanese related supply chain disruptions. These customers might then cancel orders for our products. Any such occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our financial condition.

1A. TRANSITION OF MANUFACTURING

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; Notice. Entegris will not move any equipment or operations sooner than March 2012. Entegris will provide to Millipore written notice (the “Move Notice” of the date on which Entegris plans to commence the Move (the “Move Date”), which Move Notice will be delivered no later than one year prior to the Move Date, but no later than February 28, 2013. 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. Promptly after initial delivery of the Move Notice, Entegris will prepare a detailed move schedule and provide it to Millipore. The parties will review and update the schedule during the Facility Term on a monthly basis as the Move approaches and then 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 may 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

 

Page 5 of 50


Fourth Amended and Restated Membrane Manufacture and Supply Agreement Between Millipore Corporation and Entegris, Inc. dated January 10, 2011

 

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.

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, noting that for some process operations duplicate equipment does not exist, 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 (or MML line if approved by Entegris).

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.

 

2. LEASE OF THE PREMISES

In order to enable Entegris to manufacture UPE Membranes, including Treated Flat Sheet UPE Membranes and Other Flat Sheet UPE Membranes, and Treated Other Entegris Membranes in the same production areas at Millipore’s facility at 80 Ashby Road, Bedford MA. and/or such additional, reduced or substituted areas all as described in greater detail in Exhibit B hereto, and with the same processes as such UPE Membranes and Treated Other Entegris Membranes were manufactured prior to the Effective Date (both (i) for its own use and sale and for its sale of UPE Products and (ii) for supply of Flat Sheet UPE Membranes to Millipore as provided in this Agreement), Millipore and Entegris agree to the arrangements regarding Entegris’ use of the Premises as are set forth in Exhibit B hereto for the duration of the Facility Term.

Fourth Amended and Restated Membrane Manufacture and Supply Agreement Between Millipore Corporation and Entegris, Inc. dated January 10, 2011

 

 

parties specifically agree that any terms and conditions in any such documents which are in any way inconsistent with this Agreement shall be inapplicable, and the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

 

5.4. Forecasts and Releases.

 

  5.4.1 Millipore will provide Entegris with a rolling one-year forecast of its demand for UPE Membranes hereunder, by calendar quarter (a “One-Year Forecast”), which will be updated on a quarterly basis, at least thirty (30) days prior to the start of each calendar quarter. The sub-forecast for the first three (3) months within any One-Year Forecast shall be referred to as a “3 Month Forecast”. Millipore must provide Releases for delivery, during the three (3) months covered by any 3 Month Forecast, of UPE Membranes in at least those quantities set forth in such 3 Month Forecast. Except for such semi binding nature of the 3 Month Forecasts as described more specifically at 5.4.3 below, the One-Year Forecasts will be used for planning purposes only and are not binding. Entegris will ship UPE Membranes so as to arrive on the delivery date set forth in a Release, provided that the delivery date set forth in such Release is not less than thirty (30) days following the date Entegris receives such Release and provided that the quantities set forth in such Release, together with those in all other Releases calling for delivery during the same quarter, are not more than thirty percent (30%) greater than the quantities provided in the applicable 3 Month Forecast. For any Releases calling for quantities more than thirty percent (30%) greater than the quantities provided in such 3 Month Forecast, Entegris shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such quantities within sixty (60 ) days following the date Entegris receives such release or as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

  5.4.2 Within ten (10) days after receipt of each One Year Forecast, Entegris will provide a non-binding, good faith projection of its UPE Membrane manufacturing volume (broken down between philic and phobic Membranes), by calendar quarter, for the upcoming four calendar quarters. This information will be used by Millipore for budgeting of resources and revenue, and for the determination of budgeted Machine Hourly Rates for purposes of Section 7.1.2.

 

  5.4.3 Millipore’s requirements for membranes for an upcoming quarter shall be submitted to Entegris in the form of a firm forecast before the start of that quarter. Millipore shall be entitled to change the forecast without penalty or other change if the written cancellation notice is received by Entegris prior to the requested membrane lot being extruded. Millipore shall be entitled to increase volume of membrane requested during the quarter by issuing a forecast change in writing and Entegris agrees to make reasonable efforts to accommodate the requested additional volume. Actual purchase orders will be issued following lot completion in order to assure that ordered quantities match quantities available.

5.5. Prices; Delivery and Payment Terms. Membrane prices shall be as set forth in Section 7.5 hereof. Payment terms for the sale of Membranes hereunder shall be as set forth in Section 7.6 hereof. Delivery terms for all Membranes will be FOB 80 Ashby Road, Bedford, MA.

 

5.6 Continuing Supply Discussions. The parties agree to commence good faith discussions in the first calendar half of 2012 regarding the possibility of continuing the supply of some Membranes from Entegris to Millipore beyond the Term of this Agreement on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to both parties, if any.

 

5.7 Safety Stock.

5.7.1 Each party acknowledges that the generation of a sufficient safety stock of UPE Membrane inventory meeting specifications and produced using a qualified process (the “Safety Stock”) is appropriate. Accordingly, during the Term Millipore will determine routine safety stock levels required and include sufficient membrane quantities in quarterly forecasts to achieve the desired safety stock levels.

5.7.2 Commencing in the calendar quarter immediately following Millipore’s receipt of the Move Notice from Entegris, Millipore will supplement each One-Year Forecast thereafter with an extended forecast of demand which Millipore reasonably believes it will require during the six month period immediately following the Move (“Move Buffer Stock”). Entegris will review such Move Buffer Stock forecast and communicate to Millipore any concerns Entegris may have regarding its ability to produce the requested quantity. The portion of the Move Buffer Stock that has been QA released as finished rollstock will be owned and carried by Millipore. If it is agreed that Entegris will hold some of the Move Buffer Stock as gel rolls, then Entegris will own and carry such inventory until such time as it is converted to acceptable finished rollstock.

5.7.3 Entegris will not commence the Move, including the reduction or cessation of production or the movement of any Entegris Equipment, until the parties have created an inventory of Safety Stock of at least the amount of the Move Buffer Stock. Until commencement of the Move, Entegris will make all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Move Buffer Stock at such amount.

5.7.4 The parties agree that production in any calendar quarter in excess of, or below, 200,000 feet shall increment or decrement, respectively, the amount of Safety Stock. In addition, material returns for verified quality issues related to the

 

Page 14 of 50


Fourth Amended and Restated Membrane Manufacture and Supply Agreement Between Millipore Corporation and Entegris, Inc. dated January 10, 2011

 

portions of the process controlled by Entegris will reduce the amount of Safety Stock, foot for foot. The parties will review the amount of Safety Stock on a monthly basis and will mutually determine the then current level of Safety Stock. The parties acknowledge that the Safety Stock requirements described in this section are exclusively for the benefit of Millipore’s supply needs. Millipore will provide the necessary storage space for any Safety Stock, including the Move Buffer Stock, which storage space shall be outside the then current Premises.

5.7.5 Although fully treated, finished Membrane is preferable, if the parties mutually agree that it is a necessity in order to facilitate the Move, up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Move Buffer Stock may be comprised of gel rolls, which are composed of Flat Sheet UPE Membrane that has not yet been processed through the Annealing Line. Any such gel rolls shall be processed at the Premises when such rolls are actually processed.

 

6. TERM AND TERMINATION

 

6.1. The effective period of this Agreement (the “Term” or “Term of this Agreement”) shall begin on the Effective Date and continue thereafter until March 31, 2014 or until earlier termination in accordance with Section 6.2. Any Release issued by a Supplied Party before the effective date of termination and in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof shall be fulfilled by the Supplying Party.

 

6.2. Either party may terminate this Agreement prior to December 31, 2012 without prejudice to any rights or liabilities accruing up to the date of termination:

  e. the other party has begun any proceeding for the liquidation or winding up of its business affairs; or,

 

Page 15 of 50


Fourth Amended and Restated Membrane Manufacture and Supply Agreement Between Millipore Corporation and Entegris, Inc. dated January 10, 2011

 

  (iii) at any time for convenience of the terminating party upon twenty-four (24) months prior written notice to the other party.

 

6.3. Termination under this Section 6 shall be in addition to and not a substitute for other rights or causes of action of the terminating party.

 

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, 6, 8, 9, and 13 through 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 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 2010, 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; provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2009 the Machine Hourly Rates for Millipore’s VMF4 Line will not be subject to such annual changes and will remain at $313.38 per hour through December 31, 2012 after which VMF4 Line hourly rates may be adjusted annually following the same approach used for other machine hourly rates as described above. 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

 

Page 16 of 50


Fourth Amended and Restated Membrane Manufacture and Supply Agreement Between Millipore Corporation and Entegris, Inc. dated January 10, 2011

 

 

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 5.4.2 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 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, 2008. Commencing on January 1, 2009, 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 2010, 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.

 

  7.4.3. Millipore shall have approval authority with respect to any Entegris proposed modifications to VMF 4 equipment for UPE Membrane processing. Millipore agrees that proposed modifications to the VMF4 equipment for non-Entegris UPE Membrane processing that could influence the processing of UPE Membranes on the VMF 4 equipment shall be reviewed with Entegris and shall be subject to mutual agreement.

 

  7.4.4. Millipore shall have approval authority for any Entegris proposed modifications to Film 1 manufacturing process for UPE Membranes. Financial impact of those modifications would be mutually agreed upon prior to proceeding.

 

  7.4.5. In the event of a process change to either the Film 1 or VMF4 lines, Millipore shall be responsible for change control management for any impact on Millipore products. Likewise, Entegris would be responsible for change control management for any impact on Entegris products.

 

7.5. Membrane Prices.

 

  7.5.1. Intentionally Omitted.

 

  7.5.2. Commencing on the Effective Date through December 31, 2009, until adjusted pursuant to Section 7.5.3, prices for Flat Sheet UPE Membranes to Millipore produced at the Premises, together with up to eight (8) rolls produced at the New Entegris Facility that are used to ascertain basic feasibility, shall be at Entegris’ Manufacturing cost plus fifteen percent (15%). For Flat Sheet UPE Membranes produced at the New Entegris Facility (other than the rolls for feasibility evaluation as described and priced above), prices shall as set forth on Annex 3 for the Term of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that all Flat Sheet UPE Membranes will be produced at the New Entegris Facility after June 30, 2012.

 

  7.5.3. Entegris has notified Millipore as to the adjusted Manufacturing Cost to be in effect for calendar year 2009 for the Membranes to be supplied by Entegris that will be produced at the Premises and shall make available an “open-book” review of such Manufacturing Cost.

8.6. In the event that either party discovers any distribution arrangements pre-existing the Original Contract Date that would conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the parties agree that any such pre-existing arrangements shall not constitute a breach hereunder, and they further agree: (i) to use reasonable commercial efforts to cause any such terms of distribution agreements that are inconsistent with the provisions contained herein to be amended so as to be consistent with these provisions, (ii) not to amend any distribution agreements following the date of this Agreement so as to be inconsistent with such provisions, and (iii) not to renew or enter into any distribution agreements or other agreements containing terms inconsistent with the provisions contained herein following the date of this Agreement.

 

8.7. It is acknowledged and accepted that either party or its Affiliated Companies may from time to time hereafter unintentionally make sales that would be prohibited in accordance with Sections 8.1 through 8.5 (“Sales Outside Field”). Accordingly, notwithstanding Sections 8.1 through 8.5, each party agrees not to actively market or attempt to make Sales Outside Field, provided that for any Sales Outside Field that are nevertheless made by and known to a party, such party shall, within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar year in which such Sales Outside Field were made, provide an accounting of its Gross Margins on such Sales Outside Field during such calendar year (such accounting to include the total amount of such Sales Outside Field, the total Gross Margins on such Sales Outside Field, and detail regarding the customers to which such Sales Outside Field were made) and payment of the amount of such Gross Margins to the other party. Other than such accountings, neither party shall be liable for any commission, payment, remittance, accrual or obligation or incur any other liability to the other party with respect to any such Sales Outside Field. For purposes of this Section, “Gross Margins” on a party’s Sales Outside Field shall mean the sale price, net of discounts and other sales deductions, of a Membrane or product sold Outside Field, less such party’s fully burdened manufacturing cost of such Membrane or product (which for Membranes purchased from the other party hereunder shall mean the price paid to the other party for such Membranes).

3.1 From the Effective Date through December 31, 2009, Rent shall be $ 91.14 per square foot of the Premises. Rent shall be adjusted annually thereafter, on a square-footage basis, on January 1 of each year, beginning with 2010, as follows: (a) The utility portion of the Rent (which for calculation of the current Rent shall be 39.8% of the total Rent) will be adjusted by the same percentage as the then most recent August-to-following-August percentage change in the average actual cost per kilowatt hour paid by Millipore for the 80 Ashby Road, Bedford facility (e.g. for calendar year 2010, the percentage change in such average cost from August 2008 to August 2009); (b) the remainder of the Rent (which for calculation of the current Rent shall be 60.2% of the total Rent) will be adjusted by the same percentage change as the then most recent August-to-following-August percentage change in the Producer Price Index for the industry group – Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (series identification number PCU325412325412) (e.g. for calendar year 2010, the percentage change in such index from August 2008 to August 2009). Rent shall be payable by Entegris monthly on or before the fifth day of each month.

 

3.2 It is acknowledged and agreed that in the event that the square footage of the Premises is adjusted during the Facility Term as a result of a shift of production as provided in this Agreement or pursuant to Section 3.3, the corresponding Rent due to Millipore hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

Page 31 of 50


3.3 The parties acknowledge that implementation of the Move will likely result in decreasing production by Entegris at the Premises during the Facility Term and therefore commensurate reductions in Entegris’ need for the full original Premises. Accordingly, at least ten (10) days prior to the end of any month during which Entegris believes it has vacated any portion of the Premises, Entegris will notify Millipore of such occurrence in writing, such notice to include with reasonable specificity the portion of the Premises vacated and the square footage proposed to be surrendered. Upon receipt of the notice, Millipore will promptly review in good faith with Entegris the vacated portion of the Premises to confirm that such space has been vacated and, to the extent applicable, complies with Section 7.6 with respect to the condition of the portion of vacated Premises. Upon the parties’ mutual agreement of the actual surrender and the square footage affected, the parties will agree on the revised square footage of the Premises and amend Attachment A to reflect such reduce square footage, to be effective for the ensuing month for purposes of calculating Rent pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 thereafter until any further reductions occur.

 

4.

At all times during the Facility Term, those employees or consultants of Entegris that are involved regularly or from time to time in the manufacture of UPE Membranes and reasonably need access to the Premises for such purposes, and that are not objectionable to Millipore in its sole reasonable discretion, (“Entegris Permitted Persons”) shall have access to the Premises for the purposes of manufacturing of UPE Membranes and Treated Other Entegris Membranes and warehousing of raw materials and components used in such manufacture, including reasonable ingress to and egress from the Premises through other parts of Millipore’s facility at 80 Ashby Road. Notwithstanding, to the extent that Millipore believes in its sole reasonable discretion that an individual or individuals are objectionable and hence prohibited from entering the Premises, it shall provide Entegris a written summary of the reasons for, and basis of, such belief within three (3) days of notifying Entegris of such a determination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Millipore shall provide security badges to such Entegris Permitted Persons enabling their entry to the Premises. Entegris agrees to provide an initial list of proposed Entegris Permitted Persons to Millipore’s facilities personnel (as shall be identified to Entegris by Millipore) promptly after the execution of this Agreement, and to promptly update such list from time to time as necessary with any additions or deletions. In addition, Entegris Permitted Persons shall be, to the same extent, on the same terms, and subject to the same rules and restrictions, as provided to Millipore employees in general, (i) provided access to and use of restrooms, parking areas, driveways and footways, other common areas reasonably necessary to be used by such Entegris Permitted Persons, and conference rooms as reasonably necessary for meetings relating to UPE Membranes manufacture, and (ii) permitted reasonable use of mailroom services, telephone and voicemail systems, information services, fax, copy machines, cafeteria/refreshment services, and the like. Without limiting the generality of the parties’ respective obligations of confidentiality and non-use as

 

Page 32 of 50


 

described in this Agreement, Entegris hereby agrees that any Confidential Information of Millipore that the Entegris Permitted Persons gain access to as a result of their presence in Millipore’s facility shall be subject to strict obligations of confidentiality and non-use as provided in, and subject to the limitations and other provisions of, Section 13 of this Agreement.

 

5. Millipore shall have the right, upon at least twenty-four (24) months written notice to Entegris, to relocate all or any portion of the Premises to any other location of comparable size and utility within its 80 Ashby Road facility. The parties shall cooperate in enabling any such relocation to occur in a coordinated manner so as to minimize interruption both to Entegris’ manufacturing activities hereunder and Millipore manufacturing and other activities at such facility. Millipore shall reimburse Entegris for all reasonable and substantiated costs incurred by Entegris in connection with any such relocation. The definition of the “Premises” shall be modified to include any such relocated space.

 

6. Entegris shall comply with all federal, state or local statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, orders and decrees (“Laws”) applicable to the conduct of its business on the Premises. Entegris shall not cause or permit any hazardous substances to be transported to or from, brought upon, kept, stored or used in or about the Premises by, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, except for such hazardous substances as are reasonably necessary in the performance of the activities permitted under this Agreement. Any hazardous substance permitted pursuant to the foregoing sentence and all containers therefore shall be used, kept, stored, transported and disposed of in a manner that strictly complies with all applicable Laws relating thereto as now or at any time hereafter during the Facility Term may be in effect. Except as may be otherwise agreed between the parties in writing, during the Facility Term responsibility for regulatory, health, safety and environmental compliance, as well as hazardous and solid waste disposal, generated by Entegris’ use of the Premises and Entegris’ manufacture of UPE Membranes and Treated Other Entegris Membranes shall be allocated in accordance with Section I.4 of the Supplement.

 

7. Repairs and Alterations; Condition of Premises

 

7.1

Entegris agrees that it shall, throughout the Facility Term, maintain the Premises in good and operable repair and in such condition as may be required by any laws, ordinances, regulations or requirements of any public authorities having jurisdiction and shall not permit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the Premises, except as may be permitted herein, provided, however, that Millipore shall be responsible for maintaining, keeping in good repair and, if necessary, replacing the foundation, the exterior and interior walls, the roof, floors and ceilings, the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system, all utility systems (including water, gas, electricity, drainage, and sewerage), conduits, fixtures and equipment, all meters and all other fixtures and equipment within or appurtenant to the Premises; provided, further, that Entegris shall promptly

 

Page 33 of 50


 

reimburse Millipore, as additional Rent, for the cost of any such maintenance, repair or replacement to the extent necessitated or occasioned by any omission, negligence, fault or act of Entegris, its partners, officers, employees, agents, independent contractors or invitees; provided, however, that any maintenance, repair or replacement necessitated by fire or other casualty shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10 below. Entegris’ maintenance of the Premises shall include, without limitation, cleaning the Premises regularly. If Entegris fails to perform such maintenance, within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Millipore (or as promptly as practicable if Entegris’ failure to make such repairs or replacements or perform such maintenance constitutes an emergency or poses a threat to persons or property), then Millipore may elect to make the same at Entegris’ cost (without creating any obligation on behalf of Millipore to do so). If Millipore fails to perform, or commence performance of, any maintenance, replacement or repair for which it is obligated under these Lease Terms within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Entegris (or as promptly as practicable if Millipore’s failure to make such repairs or replacements or perform such maintenance constitutes an emergency or poses a threat to persons or property), then Entegris may elect to make the same at Millipore’s cost (without creating any obligation on behalf of Entegris to do so).

 

7.2 Entegris agrees that it will not make any installations, alterations, additions or improvements to or upon the Premises (including without limitation the installation of signs) without the prior written consent of Millipore, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such installations, alterations, additions or improvements are reasonably consistent with the permitted use of the Premises hereunder; provided, however, that if any proposed installations, alterations, additions or improvements, in Millipore’s reasonable judgment, are either unlikely to be of use to Millipore after the termination of the Lease or are likely to be expensive or difficult to remove, then Millipore may require Entegris to remove such installations, alterations, additions or improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of the Facility Term. Upon completion of any installations, alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises, Entegris shall provide Millipore with a copy of any plans and specifications (or similar drawings) prepared for Entegris in connection therewith; if Entegris is required to submit plans and specifications which have been prepared by a licensed civil engineer or architect in order to obtain a building permit for any such installations, alterations, additions or improvements, then upon completion of such installations, alterations, additions or improvements, Entegris shall provide Millipore with a copy of the plans and specifications which have been stamped as appropriate by such licensed civil engineer or architect, as appropriate.

 

7.3

All work on or at the Premises for which Entegris is responsible or permitted to perform under these Lease Terms shall be performed at Entegris’s cost and only by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Millipore, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Entegris shall cause all contractors

 

Page 34 of 50


 

and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage naming Millipore as an additional insured against such risks, in such amounts and with such companies as Millipore may reasonably require. Entegris agrees that it will procure, at its sole cost and expense, all necessary permits before making any repairs, installations, alterations, additions, improvements or removals. Millipore agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with Entegris, at no out-of-pocket cost to Millipore in obtaining any permits, licenses or approvals related to the Premises. Entegris agrees (a) that all repairs, installations, alterations, improvements or removals done by or on behalf of Entegris (including without limitation the installation of signs) shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner in conformity with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations of all public authorities (and Entegris shall be responsible for any additional installations or improvements required by any such laws, ordinances or regulations as a result of any repairs, installations, alterations, improvements or renewals done by or on behalf of Entegris) and all insurance inspection or rating bureaus having jurisdiction, (b) that the structure of the buildings in which the Premises are located or the operations in any other party in such buildings will not be endangered or impaired as a result of any such repairs, installations, alterations, improvements or removals done by or on behalf of Entegris, and (c) that Entegris will repair any and all damage caused by or resulting from any such repairs, installations, alterations, additions, improvements or removals, including, without limitation, the filling of holes. Entegris agrees to save Millipore harmless from, and indemnify Millipore against, any and all claims by third parties for injury, loss or damage to persons or property to the extent caused by or resulting from the doing of any such repairs, installations, alterations, improvements or removals by or on behalf of Entegris. Entegris agrees to pay promptly when due all charges for labor and materials in connection with any work done by Entegris or anyone claiming under Entegris upon the Premises so that the Premises and all such buildings shall at all times be free of liens in respect of such labor and materials. If such a lien is filed, then Entegris shall immediately, after Millipore has delivered written notice of the filing thereof to Entegris, either pay the amount of the lien or diligently contest such lien. If Entegris fails to timely take either such action, and after written notice to Entegris of its intention to do so, then Millipore may pay the amount of the lien, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Entegris to Millipore immediately after Millipore has invoiced Entegris therefor, and until paid, such amount shall be additional Rent.

 

7.4 Millipore may in its discretion and at its own cost, but shall not be obligated to, make repairs, installations, alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises at any time during the Facility Term as it determines necessary or appropriate, provided that no such work will be done if it will materially adversely impact Entegris’ use of the Premises, unless Millipore will have previously made accommodations to eliminate or minimize such adverse impact and reasonable advance written notice has been given to Entegris.

 

Page 35 of 50


7.5 Entegris acknowledges that the Premises are being leased in their “AS IS” condition as of the Effective Date and that no warranties or representations, express, implied or statutory, have been made by Millipore or any agent, employee or representative of Millipore to Entegris, as to condition (environmental or otherwise), compliance with law, or fitness or suitability for any purpose other than as hereinafter set forth, all of which are expressly disclaimed. Millipore agrees that if at any time during the Facility Term the Premises are altered by an act or omission of Millipore (other than as specifically permitted in Section 5 of these Lease Terms) such that Entegris is not reasonably able to conduct such manufacturing and warehouse operations in substantially the manner in which it had been conducting such operations prior to the Effective Date, that circumstance shall constitute a material breach by Millipore of its obligations under this Agreement and that Entegris may then terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Millipore. Entegris acknowledges that except as set forth herein, Entegris has not been induced or persuaded by, nor has Entegris relied upon, any statement, promise or representation made by Millipore or any agent, employee or representative of Millipore, orally or in writing, as an inducement to entering into this Agreement including, without limitation, those relating to land use, zoning, hazardous or toxic wastes or other environmental matters.

 

7.6 At the expiration or earlier termination of the Facility Term Entegris shall surrender all keys to the Premises, remove all its furnishings, fixtures, equipment (including the Entegris Equipment, subject to any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary) and other personal property now or hereafter located in the Premises, purchased or leased by Entegris with its own funds, which are not affixed to the buildings in which the Premises are located. Entegris may also so remove any furnishings, fixtures, equipment which are affixed to buildings in which the Premises are located if Millipore has agreed to such removal in writing. Entegris shall repair all damage caused by any such removal, and yield up the Premises broom-clean and in the same good order and repair in which Entegris is obliged to keep and maintain the Premises by the provisions of these Lease Terms. Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and may be retained by Millipore or may be removed and disposed of by Millipore in such manner as Millipore shall determine and Entegris shall pay Millipore the directly related and reasonable cost and expense incurred by Millipore in effecting such removal and disposition and in making any incidental repairs and replacements to the Premises.

 

8. Indemnity

 

8.1

Entegris agrees that during the Facility Term and for such further time as Entegris shall occupy or hold the Premises or any part thereof, Millipore shall not be liable to Entegris and Entegris shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Millipore), indemnify, and hold Millipore, its officers, directors, agents, employees, independent contractors, and invitees harmless from and against any

 

Page 36 of 50


 

and all liability for all injuries, losses, accidents or damage to any person or property, and from all claims, actions, proceedings and costs in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, to the extent arising from (a) any act, omission, fault or negligence of Entegris, its officers, directors, agents, employees, independent contractors, licensees, or invitees, and relating to the presence of any of the foregoing persons or of Entegris’ operations on the Premises or anywhere at the 80 Ashby Road facility.

 

8.2 Millipore agrees that during the Facility Term and for such further time as Entegris shall occupy or hold the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to a reasonable claim of right, Entegris shall not be liable to Millipore and Millipore shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Entegris), indemnify, and hold Entegris, its officers, directors, agents, employees, independent contractors, and invitees harmless from and against any and all liability for all injuries, losses, accidents or damage to any person or property, and from all claims, actions, proceedings and costs in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, to the extent arising from any act, omission, fault or negligence of Millipore, its officers, directors, agents, employees, independent contractors, licensees, or invitees and relating to the presence of any of the foregoing persons on the Premises or relating to Millipore’s operations on the Premises or anywhere at the 80 Ashby Road facility.

 

8.3 Each of Millipore and Entegris hereby releases and waives any claim it might have against the other for any loss or damage caused by theft, destruction, fire or any other casualty, regardless of whether such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party or its agents, to the extent the same (a) is insured against under any insurance policy that covers the Premises or the buildings in which the Premises are located, Millipore’s or Entegris’ fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements or business, or (b) is required to be insured against under the terms hereof, it being understood and agreed that the waiving party reserves any rights with respect to any excess loss or injury over the amount recovered on account of such insurance. Each of Millipore and Entegris agrees to cause its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the carrier’s rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other party.

 

8.4 In addition to its obligations under Section 8.2, Millipore agrees that Entegris shall not be liable to Millipore and Millipore shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Entegris), indemnify, and hold Entegris, its officers, directors, agents, employees, independent contractors, and invitees harmless from and against any and all liability for all injuries, losses, accidents or damage to any person or property, and from all claims, actions, proceedings and costs in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, arising from any release of hazardous waste by Millipore or its employees or agents in the Premises, only to the extent not caused by Entegris or its employees or agents.

 

Page 37 of 50


8.5 In addition to its obligations under Section 8.1, Entegris agrees that Millipore shall not be liable to Entegris and Entegris shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Millipore), indemnify, and hold Millipore, its officers, directors, agents, employees, independent contractors, and invitees harmless from and against any and all liability for all injuries, losses, accidents or damage to any person or property, and from all claims, actions, proceedings and costs in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, arising from any release of hazardous waste by Entegris or its employees or agents in the Premises, only to the extent not caused by Millipore or its employees or agents.

 

9. Insurance

 

9.1 During the Facility Term, Millipore shall maintain all risk property insurance in an amount at least equal to the replacement cost of (a) the buildings in which the Premises are located and (b) Millipore property and equipment inside those buildings (excluding Entegris’ personal property and any alterations, installations, additions or improvements made to such buildings by Entegris). Such insurance may be maintained under a blanket policy covering the Premises and other real estate of Millipore or its affiliated business organizations. The policies of such insurance may be payable in case of loss to the holders of any mortgages upon such buildings or the 80 Ashby Road facility as their interests may appear. Entegris shall be named as an additional insured on such Millipore property insurance, as its interests may appear. Certificates of insurance evidencing all such coverages and Entegris additional insured status for the foregoing shall be supplied to Entegris promptly upon execution of this Agreement and as such policy(ies) renew or are changed.

 

9.2 During the Facility Term, Entegris will maintain at its own expense comprehensive general liability insurance, including umbrella coverage, with respect to the Entegris Equipment and its operations on the Premises, naming Millipore as additional insured, in amounts which shall, as of the Effective Date, be not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to injuries to any one person and not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to injuries suffered in any one accident, and not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to property damage liability. From time to time during the Facility Term, Millipore shall have the right in its reasonable discretion to require that the limits of such insurance coverage be increased, provided however, that such increases shall be in accordance with limits that are customarily carried in the metropolitan Boston area on property similar to the Premises used for similar purposes.

 

9.3

During the Facility Term, Entegris shall maintain workers compensation insurance covering all of Entegris’ employees in such coverage amounts as required by law and employer’s liability insurance in an amount of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). During the Facility Term, Entegris shall maintain all risk property insurance in an amount at least equal to the

 

Page 38 of 50


 

replacement cost of Entegris’ personal property on the Premises and any other alterations, installations, additions or improvements made to the Premises by Entegris. Said replacement cost for Entegris property shall be clearly delineated and summarized promptly upon execution of this Agreement, at each renewal/change of said Entegris property policies, or at any other point of significant change in magnitude of Entegris properties on Millipore Premises. During the Facility Term Entegris shall maintain comprehensive automobile liability insurance in an amount of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) per person and per accident for bodily injury, and of at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per accident for property damage. Millipore shall be named as an additional insured on the foregoing Entegris employer’s liability, property, and automobile liability insurances, as its interests may appear. Certificates of insurance evidencing all such coverages and Millipore additional insured status for the foregoing and for comprehensive general liability and umbrella liability coverages shall be supplied to Millipore promptly upon execution of this Agreement and as any policies renew or are changed.

 

9.4 All policies of insurance obtained by Entegris pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall be issued by insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Millipore and authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All such policies shall provide for no less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Millipore and any mortgagee of the Premises of their commencement or cancellation. Within ten (10) days after execution of this Agreement, Entegris shall deliver to Millipore certificates thereof. Entegris shall also deliver to Millipore each renewal certificate thereof as soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving request therefore by any mortgage lender of Millipore and at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the policy it renews. If Entegris fails to obtain and maintain any insurance policies required to be obtained and maintained by Entegris pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 of these Lease Terms, then, after written notice to Entegris of its intention to do so and notification from Entegris of its unwillingness or inability to acquire such insurance coverages, Millipore may obtain and maintain such insurance policies (without creating any obligation on behalf of Millipore to do so), and Entegris shall pay to Millipore the cost thereof within ten (10) days after Millipore has invoiced Entegris therefor, and until paid, such amount shall be additional Rent.

 

10. Casualty or Taking

 

10.1 In the event that the Premises, or more than 25% thereof, shall be taken by any public authority or for any public use, or shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty, or by the action of any public authority, and the same cannot, in Millipore’s reasonable judgment, be restored within 180 days from such taking or casualty, or if in Entegris’ reasonable judgment, such circumstance would prevent it from continuing the conduct of its manufacturing operations at the Premises substantially in the manner contemplated under this Agreement, then this Agreement may be terminated at the election of either Millipore or Entegris. Such election shall be made by either party, by the giving of notice to the other party within thirty (30) days following such taking or casualty.

 

Page 39 of 50


10.2 If neither Millipore nor Entegris exercises said election, this Agreement shall continue in force and a just proportion of the Rent reserved, as mutually agreed between the parties, according to the nature and extent of the damages sustained by the Premises, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises, or what may remain thereof, shall be put by Millipore in proper condition for use and otherwise restored to its former condition or the substantial equivalent, which Millipore covenants to do with reasonable diligence to the extent permitted by the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded for such taking, destruction or damage and subject to zoning and building laws or ordinances then in existence. “Net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded” refers to the gross amount of such insurance or damages less the reasonable expenses of Millipore in connection with the collection of the same, including without limitation, fees and expenses for legal and appraisal services. If the Premises are not so restored to its former condition or the substantial equivalent within one-hundred eighty (180) days from such taking or casualty described at Section 10.1 above, this Agreement may be terminated by Entegris upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Millipore but only if such restoration is not completed prior to the expiration of the 30 day notice period.

 

11. Defaults and Remedies

 

11.1 Events of Default. If Entegris shall default in the performance of any of its obligations to pay the Rent hereunder and if such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice from Millipore designating such default, or if within thirty (30) days after written notice from Millipore to Entegris specifying any other default or defaults and Entegris has not then commenced diligently to correct the default or defaults so specified, then, and in either of such events, Millipore and the agents and servants of Millipore lawfully may, (in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of covenant), immediately or at any time thereafter and after demand and notice and without process of law enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof or mail a notice of termination addressed to Entegris, and repossess the same as Millipore’s former estate and expel Entegris and those claiming through or under Entegris and remove its and their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior breach of covenant, and upon such entry or mailing as aforesaid this Agreement shall terminate, and Millipore, with notice to Entegris, may store Entegris’s effects, and those of any person claiming through or under Entegris at the expense and risk of Entegris.

 

11.2

Millipore may, but shall not be obligated to, cure, at any time, following the expiration of the applicable cure period as set forth in Section 11.1 except in cases of emergency when no notice shall be required, any material default by Entegris

 

Page 40 of 50


 

under these Lease Terms; and whenever Millipore so elects, all direct and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Millipore, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in curing a material default shall be paid by Entegris to Millipore on demand.

 

12. At all times during the Facility Term, Millipore reserves the right for its employees or contractors to enter the Premises as it determines necessary or desirable, for purposes of (i) ensuring compliance with this Agreement, (ii) health, safety and environmental compliance, (iii) maintenance or repair as required or permitted under this Agreement, or (iii) other reasonable purposes relating to the Premises or to any areas of its 80 Ashby Road facility other than the Premises, provided in each case that such entry into the Premises does not unreasonably interfere with Entegris’ use of the Premises. Millipore shall provide advance notice of such entry to Entegris where reasonably practicable.

 

13. Entegris shall not, without Millipore’s prior written consent, (a) assign, transfer, or encumber this Agreement or any interest therein, whether directly or by operation of law, (b) sublet any portion of the Premises; (c) grant any license, concession or other right of occupancy or any portion of the Premises; or (d) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Entegris. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to either (x) transactions with an entity into which Entegris is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of its assets are transferred, or (y) transactions with any entity which controls Entegris or is controlled by Entegris or is under common control with Entegris.

 

14. Subject to the provisions of these Lease Terms, including but not limited to Section 5 hereof, Millipore covenants and warrants that upon performance by Entegris of its obligations under these Lease Terms, Millipore will keep and maintain Entegris in exclusive, quiet, peaceable, and uninterrupted possession of the Premises during the Facility Term.

 

15. Millipore shall at all times comply with all laws, orders, ordinances and other public requirements now or hereafter affecting the Premises.

 

16.

Any obligation of either party to indemnify the other party pursuant to these Lease Terms or this Agreement shall be barred or limited to the extent that failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of a claim giving rise to such indemnification obligation, or failure of the Indemnified Party to provide the Indemnifying Party with all reasonably necessary assistance and cooperation in connection therewith, prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party in providing such indemnity hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have sole control of the defense with respect to any such claim (including settlement thereof). The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed at all times as to the status of the matter and the Indemnifying Party’s efforts in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim whereby the settlement imposes upon the

 

Page 41 of 50


 

Indemnified Party an obligation to take some action or refrain from doing so, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

17. Neither party shall unreasonably withhold or delay its consent with respect to any matter for which such party’s consent is required or desirable under these Lease Terms or this Agreement.

I.4. Revised Responsibilities for Regulatory & HSE Compliance

I.4.1 Responsibilities.

Current responsibilities shall be revised to reflect current operating procedures, including: Entegris has assumed full responsibility for waste disposal in connection with waste generated by the Entegris Equipment. Millipore continues to provide spill control support to ensure prompt response to any emergency situation, however, Entegris is responsible for any follow-up actions that are required as a result of any emergency situation. VMF 4 waste treatment costs continue to be included in VMF 4 rates.

Entegris is solely responsible for the generation, control, compliance and reporting of chemical emissions resulting from its dedicated operations located at the Millipore Bedford site. Millipore is responsible for the generation, control, compliance and reporting of chemical emissions from its operations. Where Entegris products are processed on Millipore Equipment, Entegris and Millipore will work together to ensure compliance with federal, state and local regulations, and conformance with EHS self certifications programs similar to ISO 14001. Furthermore, as dedicated Entegris-owned operations may have a potential impact on the surrounding community, Entegris agrees to continue to make reasonable commercial attempts to lessen the environmental impact of its operations at the Bedford site and to notify Millipore of any chemical spills, notices of non-compliance or inspections.

I.4.2 Incident Response.

Entegris shall notify Millipore of all spills or releases greater than the Reportable Quantity, as defined by the State of Massachusetts and Town of Bedford, whichever is less. Entegris is responsible for timely notification and applicable follow up of regulatory agencies, as required by law or best practice. For any spill or release, Entegris shall ensure a clean up scheme that follows all of the requirements set forth in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 - Hazardous Waste Operation and Emergency Response, and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan, 310 CMR 40. In the event of a spill or release from an Entegris process requiring a clean up, Millipore shall provide Entegris with clean-up services using Millipore Corporation’s Emergency Response Team. In the event of a spill or release from an Entegris process requiring a clean up using Millipore’s Emergency Response Team, Millipore will conduct any cleanup services with the same degree of care it would use to respond to a spill or release from a Millipore process and shall be compensated by Entegris at the rates set forth on Annex I, subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 7.3; provided, that Entegris will compensate Millipore for at least 4 hours in the event of any such incident.

 

Page 48 of 50


Entegris shall also compensate Millipore for all reasonable and customary costs associated with engaging professional consulting services, as deemed appropriate by Millipore’s corporate EHS department and approved by Entegris’ corporate EHS department (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that if Millipore reasonably deems the need for such consulting services urgent, such as an emergency response, and cannot reach an Entegris representative in a timely manner after diligent efforts to obtain Entegris’ approval, Millipore may proceed on a limited basis to address such urgent situation without Entegris’ prior approval but shall notify Entegris promptly) as a result of the aforementioned spills or releases. Entegris shall also reimburse Millipore for all supplies consumed during the response event. Entegris shall be responsible for appropriate disposal of wastes associated with any clean-up.

Entegris may also contract with a third party that meets the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 - Hazardous Waste Operation and Emergency Response in lieu of using Millipore’s Emergency Response Team.

I.4.3 Equipment Operability and Risk Mitigation.

Entegris shall perform an initial process hazard analysis (hazard evaluation), and proactively manage any subsequent changes, on any process or equipment (“Processes”) proposed for installation or use on Millipore managed property. The process hazard analysis shall be completed with current process safety information and be reasonable with respect to the complexity of the Processes and shall identify, evaluate, and mitigate hazards involved in the Processes. Entegris shall conduct and implement the process hazard analysis and a management of change procedure in a manner consistent with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 - Process Safety Management and in conjunction and consultation with Millipore’s EHS staff. Entegris shall implement all reasonable corrective actions or improvements identified by the process hazard analysis in a timely manner and at its sole expense, in all cases in accordance with applicable regulatory and reasonable Millipore requirements, unless such corrective actions are facility related, in which case such actions will be at the expense of Millipore to the extent not caused by Entegris. Copies of the process hazard analysis, corrective actions and implementation schedules shall be provided to Millipore promptly upon availability. Furthermore, all applicable process safety information will be updated with any change to the process not considered a replacement in kind.

I.5. Entegris Option to Assume Supply Chain Responsibilities

I.5.1. During the Facility Term, upon six months prior notice to Millipore, Entegris shall have the option to assume responsibility for planning and procurement for all raw materials used in the manufacture of UPE Membranes and Treated Other Entegris Membranes. If Entegris assumes this responsibility, Entegris shall be accountable for un-utilized machine time occurring as a result of raw material availability if Millipore cannot utilize that machine time for any

 

Page 49 of 50


alternative membranes. After the Facility Term, Entegris will have all, and Millipore will have no, responsibility for planning and procurement of any raw materials (other than with respect to VMF4) unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.

I.5.2. Notwithstanding the exercise by Entegris of the option in I.5.1, Entegris shall continue to be entitled to contract with Millipore for incoming quality control services.

I.6. Resolution of Technical Issues.

I.6.1. In the event of chronic low yielding runs, Entegris can issue a corrective action request. This request would result in a inter-company meeting(s) to develop a mutually agreed upon corrective action plan within two weeks of the issuance of the request.

I.6.2. Millipore will support this activity with at least one mutually agreed upon representative (usually the Production Supervisor and / or the Millipore Product Owner).

I.6.3. In the event that this vehicle is unsuccessful in resolving the issue, the corrective action team will be supported by additional mutually agreed upon representatives with special expertise from both/either Millipore and Entegris. The cost of Millipore support for this “above and beyond” technical support will be at the technical support rate established in accordance with Section 7.3 of the Agreement.
