The deductible and/or self-insured retention of the policies will not limit or apply to the Manufacturers liability to Customer and will be the sole responsibility of the Manufacturer. SECTION 11: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 11.1 IP Protection. Manufacturer, at its own expense, shall protect, defend, hold harmless, and indemnify Customer and any subsequent owner of the Products, and shall pay any damages, agreed upon settlement amounts, or necessary costs (including attorney fees and fines) finally awarded with respect to all proceedings or claims against it or them for the infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights resulting from Manufacturer's manufacture and assembly processes or the use of Manufacturer Components where such use necessarily and solely causes the infringement. Manufacturer shall not have any liability hereunder based on (1) required compliance by Manufacturer with Manufacturing and Design Documentation originating with and furnished by Customer (or the combination of the Products with other apparatus not included in the deliveries to Customer), if such compliance (or combination) necessarily and solely gives rise to such proceedings or claims; (2) infringement or alleged infringement caused solely by Customer Components; (3) Customer's failure to provide prompt notice to Manufacturer of any such proceeding or claim and copies of all communications, notices, and/or other actions relating to such claim; or (4) infringements resulting from modifications or alterations made after shipment by Manufacturer. Customer shall not agree to settle any such proceeding or claim without the written consent of Manufacturer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Manufacturer, for itself, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates, hereby grants Customer, its subsidiaries, affiliates, dealers, and customers, royalty-free immunity from and against any claim of infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights associated with the design, manufacture, sale, or use, of the Products to the extent of any Intellectual Property Rights that Manufacturer may own or have the right to license, as they apply to Products made and distributed under this Agreement and any subsequent sale, use, or repair of such Products, including any reconstruction of returned units. 11.2 No Other Rights. Except for any licenses and immunities that are expressly granted by this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any course of dealing between the Parties will be

13

deemed to create a license from either Party to the other of any Intellectual Property Right, whether by estoppel, implication, or otherwise. 11.3 Manufacturing and Design Documentation. Manufacturer shall segregate all Manufacturing and Design Documentation and provide Customer with a set of copies thereof as requested by Customer from time to time. Except for copies needed to be retained for Manufacturer to complete its obligations under this Agreement and one copy which may be retained in a segregated manner solely for nonproductive archival purposes for reference concerning Manufacturer's obligation hereunder, Manufacturer shall turn over such materials to Customer upon termination of this Agreement. 11.4 Confidential Exchanges. The Parties have executed a Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated __________, relating to the exchange of certain confidential information. Such Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference. 11.5 Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights in Products. Manufacturer acknowledges that, subject for the explicit license granted herein, Customer retains and shall exclusively own and all rights and title to the Technology and the Products including to any intellectual property rights and interest in or with respect to the Products and the Technology Manufacturer hereby irrevocably waives and renounces any and all rights with respect thereto and waives any and all rights to make claims with respect thereto in the future. 11.6 License. Manufacturer is hereby granted by Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license during the term of this Agreement to the Technology to be used for the sole purpose of performing the Work with respect to the Products and only to the extent required to perform Manufacturer' obligations under this Agreement. 11.7 Execution of Documents. Manufacturer shall from time to time and at Customer's sole expense take any further action and execute and deliver any further instrument, including documents of assignment or acknowledgment, that Customer may reasonably request in order to establish and perfect its exclusive ownership rights in such Products and Technology, including any associated intellectual property rights.

SECTION 12: TERM AND TERMINATION 12.1 Term and Renewal. This Agreement will have an initial term of five (5) years, starting on the Effective Date. After the initial term, the Agreement will automatically renew for additional successive one-year period(s) unless either Party provides the other with at least one hundred twenty (120) days written notice of its intention not to renew the Agreement prior to the expiration of the initial term or any one-year renewal period. 12.2. Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party breaches a material obligation under this Agreement, and that breach continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of the breach. Either Party may immediately

14

terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party files a bankruptcy petition of any type or has a bankruptcy petition of any type filed against it, ceases to conduct business in the normal course, becomes insolvent, enters into suspension of payments, moratorium, reorganization, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they mature, goes into receivership, or avails itself of or becomes subject to any other judicial or administrative proceeding that relates to insolvency or protection of creditors rights. Customer may terminate this Agreement, or any applicable open order(s), Product Schedule(s)and related Forecast(s), upon providing Manufacturer with prior written notice and not less than a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure in the event that either (i) the quality performance of Products is not competitive with the quality performance of similar products from other Parties, or (ii) the prices at which Manufacturer is offering Products are not competitive with the prices Customer can obtain from other suppliers of similar products. Customer may terminate for convenience upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Manufacturer. 12.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: (i) Each Party will immediately stop using, and destroy or return to the other Party, all items that contain any Confidential Information belonging to the other Party (including without limitation all Customer-consigned inventory and all types of Customer Property as defined in Section 7 of this Agreement), except Customer may retain one copy of any Confidential Information, Software, and Documentation necessary for the purpose of supporting Products sold to then-existing customers; (ii) Customer may continue to use and sell, in the ordinary course of business, any of its then existing inventory of Products. Customer and its customers will continue to have all license grants described in Section 11 to continue using and selling the Products and providing support to Customer's customers; (iii) unless specified otherwise in the applicable Product Schedule, Manufacturer will continue to make spare parts and repair services for Products available for purchase by Customer on the terms and conditions of this Agreement for seven (7) years after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement. However, if Manufacturer gives notice of Product discontinuance pursuant to Section 6.3, then the terms of Section 6.3 (instead of this Section) will apply but only to the specific Product for which such notice has been given.

SECTION 13: GENERAL TERMS 13.1 Independent Contractor Status. Each of the Parties hereto shall conduct the work to be performed hereunder as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of the other Party. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall choose the means to be employed and the manner of carrying out its obligations hereunder. Each Party shall have sole responsibility for the supervision and payment of its personnel and, except as agreed in writing, all other costs and expenses required to perform its obligations hereunder. Manufacturer shall be responsible for the terms of engagements with and the fee rendered to the SubManufacturer for the manufacturing made by it.

15

13.2 Freedom of Action; Non Compete. Except as restricted by Intellectual Property Rights of a Party hereto or of third parties, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Customer to develop, have developed, procure, and/or market products or services now or in the future, including any that may be competitive with those that are subject of this Agreement. Neither Party shall be required to disclose planning information to the other except for the forecast described in Section 5.1. Commencing with the Effective Date and continuing thereafter for a period of three (3) years after the effective date of termination of this Agreement (the Restriction Term), Manufacturer agrees and covenants that it will not, at any time, directly or indirectly, through its employees, agents, suppliers, consultants, and affiliates or otherwise, as an investor, owner, proprietor, principal, founder, partner, licensor, licensee, promoter, stockholder, or otherwise, engage in manufacturing, supplying, inventing, researching, as a FAB, as such term is used in the chip industry or otherwise, of glass waveguide chip, or any other products manufactured by or for Customer (FAB), or have an interest in a commercial enterprise (other than the ownership of less than one percent of the common stock of a publicly traded company) in any corporation, firm, business or related entity or enterprise involved in FAB within the entire world (collectively, the Territory). Manufacturer expressly agrees and understands that the remedy at law for any breach of any provision of this Section will be inadequate and that the damages flowing from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, Manufacturer agrees that upon adequate proof of a violation of this Section, Customer will be entitled, among other remedies, to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a temporary restraining order restraining any threatened or further breach. Nothing in this Section will be deemed to limit Customer's remedies at law or in equity for any breach by Manufacturer of any of the provisions of this Agreement which may be pursued or availed of by Manufacturer. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction (or arbitrator) determines that the specified time period or geographical areas set forth in this Section is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period or geographical area that is determined by the court to be reasonable, non-arbitrary and not against public policy will be enforced. During the Restriction Term, Manufacturer shall not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, induce, encourage or attempt to induce or encourage any employee of the Customer or any of its independent contractor, or in development or commercialization activities to terminate his or her employment with the Customer and become employed by or consult for Customer whether or not such employee is a fulltime employee of Customer, whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written agreement or is at will. In the event Manufacturer violates any legally enforceable provision of this Section as to which there is a specific time period during which such Manufacturer is prohibited from taking certain actions or engaging in certain activities, then, in such event the violation will toll the running of the time period from the date of the violation until the violation ceases. 13.3 Business Interruption and Recovery Plan. Within thirty (30) days of a request by Customer, Manufacturer will provide Customer with a detailed, appropriate, written business interruption and recovery plan, including business impact and risk assessment, crisis management, information technology disaster recovery, and business continuity. Manufacturer will update the plan annually. Manufacturer will notify Customer in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of any activation of the plan.

16

13.4 Trademarks and Trade Names. Neither this Agreement nor the sale of Products hereunder shall be deemed to give either Party any right to use any of the other Party's trademarks or trade names without such other Party's specific, written consent. 13.5 Compliance with Governmental Legal Requirements. Manufacturer shall comply with the provisions of all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances applicable to the transactions governed by this Agreement. Should the Products fail to meet the applicable approvals, standards, or regulations, other than as a result of pending applications or actions with respect to the issuance thereof, Manufacturer may cease production until Customer and Manufacturer agree to required changes and applicable qualifications are met without causing breach of this Agreement. 13.6 Export Controls. Each Party agrees that it will not knowingly (1) export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any technical data (as defined by the U.S. Export Administration Regulations), including software received from the other under this Agreement to; (2) disclose such technical data for use in; or (3) export or re-export directly or indirectly, any direct product of such technical data, including software to, a destination to which such export or re-export is restricted or prohibited by U.S. or non-U.S. law without obtaining prior authorization from U.S. Department of Commerce and other competent government authorities to the extent required by those laws. This clause shall survive termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 13.7 Force Majeure. Neither Customer nor Manufacturer shall be considered in default or liable for any delay or failure to perform any provision of this Agreement if such delay or failure arises directly or indirectly out of an act of nature, acts of the public enemy, freight embargoes, strikes, quarantine restrictions, unusually severe weather conditions, insurrection, riot, and other such causes beyond the control of the Party responsible for the delay or failure to perform. 13.8 Engineering Changes. Customer shall retain engineering control over the entire Product, including Components, subassemblies and all other data and material. All engineering changes and sourcing changes must be approved by Customer before implementation by Manufacturer. The cost increases or decreases incurred as a result of engineering and sourcing changes will be reviewed and an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or shipping schedule or both, including costs to Manufacturer for any material that is rendered excess due to the change. Such changes will be implemented only upon receipt by Manufacturer of Customer's written request to proceed with the change. 13.9 Notice. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices and other communications permitted or required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, telecopied, telegraphed, telexed or delivered to the other Party at the address set forth in the following (or at such other address as either Party shall designate in writing to the other Party during the term of this Agreement) and shall be effective at the earlier of the time received of five days after dispatch in accordance with the terms of this Section.
