Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Millipore Corporation
hereby undertakes:
(1) To file during any period
in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(iii) To include any
material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such
information in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at the time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration
by means of a posteffective amendment any
of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona-fide offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
