confirm to Transferee any and all of the Assets. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be deemed to act as a

complete the transfer thereof as soon as practicable following the Transfer Date
in a manner consistent with the requirements of such law, regulation, agreement
or obligation. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Transferor shall not
be obligated to assign, transfer or convey in and to any specific Asset without
first obtaining all approvals, consents and waivers necessary for the valid

waivers as soon as practicable; provided however, that any cost associated
therewith shall be borne by Transferor.

         3.02     Cooperation After Transfer. Each party will cooperate, and
will use all reasonable efforts to have its officers, directors and other
employees cooperate with the other party at its request in furnishing
information, evidence, testimony and other assistance in connection with any

and other taxes of Transferor for all periods prior to the Transfer Date, and in
connection with any other actions, proceedings, arrangements or disputes
involving either party or based upon any of Transferor's contracts, agreements,
acts or omissions which were in effect or occurred on or prior to the Transfer
Date. Transferee shall permit Transferor and its authorized representatives,
accountants, attorneys and engineers to have full access to any reasonable time
or times to the books, records and other data relating to the Assets delivered

authorized representatives,

accountants, attorneys and engineers to have full access at any reasonable time
or times to any books, tax returns (but only insofar as they relate solely
or primarily to the Assets), records and other data of Transferor relating
to Assets. Each of the parties agrees to preserve the books, records and
data referred to in the preceding sentence for the period from and after
the Closing as prescribed in each parties' records retention policies in
effect on the Closing, and will not destroy any of the same at any

                           written agreement between the parties, Transferor
                           shall not, directly or indirectly, use, permit any
                           Third Party to use or disclose to any Third Party any
                           confidential information contained in, or pertaining
                           to, the Assets owned by Transferee on and after the
                           Transfer Date, except when, after, and to the extent,
                           such information is or becomes generally available to
                           the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transferor
                           may disclose such information to such of its
                           employees, attorneys and

                           agents who require the same in the exercise of their
                           duties, and governmental authorities, to the extent
                           required by law; provided, however, that Transferor
                           gives Transferee not less than ten (10) days prior
                           written notice, and the opportunity to oppose such
                           disclosure.

                  (b)      Transferor and Transferee shall each keep in
                           confidence all business and technical information
                           owned by the other which may be disclosed to it and
                           which is not part of the Assets, except when, after
                           and to the extent such information is or becomes
                           generally available to the public.

         3.05     Recording of Documents. Transferee shall be responsible, at
Transferee's expense, for the filing or recording of such deeds, assignments,
instruments or documents delivered by Transferor hereunder, and for the

          to an Event of Default, or

          (c) by written notice to the other, if no agreement for the supply of
          the Materials by UCAR CARBON to BPS has been concluded by the Supply
          Agreement Deadline Date, or

          (d) by written notice to the other, if the parties

                    (i) have completed the work required of them under the SOW
                    before the end of the Collaboration Period, and

                    (ii) cannot agree on additional work to be done or the

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES AFTER TERMINATION

7.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the parties
accruing before the effective date of the termination of the Collaboration
herein and all rights and obligations expressly stated to continue after or
accrue as a result of, the termination of the Collaboration, will survive the
effective date of such termination and will continue in full force and effect,
provided that

          (a) if UCAR CARBON terminates the Collaboration herein without cause,
          or BPS terminates the Collaboration as a result of UCAR CARBON being
          the subject of an Event of Default,

                  (i)  [REDACTED]

                  (ii)  [REDACTED]

          (b) if BPS terminates the Collaboration herein without cause, or UCAR
          CARBON terminates the Collaboration as a result of BPS being the
          subject of an Event of Default,

                   (i)  [REDACTED]

<PAGE>   17
                                      -17-

                  (ii) [REDACTED]

          (c) if the supply agreement contemplated in Section 5.1 is not
          concluded on or before the Supply Agreement Deadline Date, UCAR will,
          if so requested by BPS, continue supplying the Materials to BPS on
          commercially reasonable terms, at commercially reasonable prices for a
          period not exceeding 6 months. If the parties fail to agree on such
          terms or prices within 60 days after the Supply Agreement Deadline
          Date, the matter will be determined by arbitration pursuant to
          Section 6.4, mutatis mutandis,

          (d) Section 7.2(a) and (b), Section 2.8, Section 2.9 and Section 2.10
          will be suspended if the agreement for the supply of the Materials by
          UCAR CARBON to BPS, as contemplated in Section 5.1 has not been
          concluded on or before the Supply Agreement Deadline Date; provided
          that

                   (i) subject to Section 7.2(d)(ii), such provisions will
                   reapply immediately following the execution of any such
                   agreement at any time after such date, and

                   (ii) such provisions will be deemed cancelled if such an
                   agreement has not been concluded within 9 months after the
                   Supply Agreement Deadline Date, and

          (e) for greater certainty, Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b) will not
          apply if the Collaboration is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(d).

7.3 Except as may be required for the purposes of effectively utilizing any
licensing rights arising upon or continuing after the end of the Collaboration,
forthwith upon termination of the Collaboration, each party will, upon request,
return or cause to be returned to the other all Confidential Information of the
other in its possession or under its control, regardless of form, including all
