If a party is compelled in any legal proceeding (other than between the parties hereto) or is requested by a Governmental Body having regulatory jurisdiction over the Contemplated Transactions to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Section, such party shall provide the disclosing party with prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section.

	(1)		by either Calgon or MCC if a material Breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other party (and in cases where Calgon is the terminating party, breaches by CMCC) and such Breach has not been waived;
	(2)		(i) by Calgon if any of the conditions in Section 8 has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Calgon to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Calgon has not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date; or (ii) by MCC, if any of the conditions in Section 9 has not been satisfied of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of MCC or CMCC to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and MCC has not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date;
	(3)		by mutual consent of Calgon and MCC; or
	(4)		by either Calgon or MCC if the Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement (and in the case of MCC seeking to terminate, or through the failure of CMCC) to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) on or before March 31, 2010, or such later date as the parties may agree upon.

10.2 Effect of Termination

Each party’s right of termination under Section 10.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 7.11, 12.1, 12.2, 12.4, 12.6, and 12.14 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the Breach of the Agreement by the other party or because one (1) or more of the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

A claim with respect to (A) Section 4.14 and 4.23, or a claim for indemnification or reimbursement not based upon any representation or warranty or any covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, may be made on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, and (B) Sections 3.4, 4.3, and 4.19 may be made at any time.

11.7 Limitations on Amount—MCC

MCC will have no liability (for indemnification) with respect to the matters described in clause (1)(a) other than Breaches of Sections 3.4, 4.3, 4.14, 4.19, and 4.23, clause (1)(b), clause (1)(d) or clause (2) of Section 11.2 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds ¥30,000,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed ¥30,000,000 (the “MCC Basket”); provided, however, that MCC shall not be liable for such Damages in excess of 50% of the Share Purchase Price (the “MCC Cap”); provided, further, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein any Breaches of Sections 3.4, 4.3, 4.14, 4.19, and 4.23 shall not be subject to the MCC Basket or the MCC Cap in any respect. However, this Section 11.7 will not apply to any Breach of any of MCC’s representations and warranties of which MCC had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by MCC of any covenant or obligation.

11.8 Limitations on Amount—Calgon

Calgon will have no liability (for indemnification) with respect to the matters described in clause (1)(a), or clause (1)(b) of Section 11.4 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds ¥30,000,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed ¥30,000,000; provided that Calgon shall not be liable for such Damages in excess of 50% of the Share Purchase Price.

11.9 Procedure for Indemnification—Third-Party Claims

	(1)		Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, or 11.5 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice.
	(2)		If any Proceeding referred to in Section 11.9(1) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are

			paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten (10) days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.
	(3)		Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).
	(4)		MCC hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on MCC with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

11.10 Procedure for Indemnification—Other Claims

12.8 Waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (1) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one (1) party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (2) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (3) no notice to or demand on one (1) party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

12.9 Entire Agreement and Modification

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter.

12.10 Disclosure Letter

	(1)		The disclosures in the Disclosure Letter, and those in any supplement thereto, must relate only to the representations and warranties in the Section of the Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other representation or warranty in this Agreement.

12.11 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights

Neither party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties, except that Calgon may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary.
