control of the defense or settlement of the suit or claim; (iii) AT&T shall
cooperate with Yurie in a reasonable way to facilitate the settlement or defense
of the suit or claim; and (iv) the action does not arise directly from
adherence to design, modifications, specifications or written instructions from
AT&T or directly from AT&T's modifications of deliverables or Technical
Information following delivery thereof or AT&T's development of thereof. If such
claim or action does arise directly from adherence to AT&T's design,
modifications, specifications or written instructions, or directly from AT&T's
development, AT&T shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Yurie, its
affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents to the same extent, and
subject to the same terms and conditions as Yurie's indemnification obligation
set forth in this Section 7.05. In either event, the indemnified party shall
have the right, at its sole option and expense, to participate in the defense
Page 14
thereof through counsel of its choice.
b. If the use of the Technical Information or products to be delivered
under this Agreement is enjoined as a result of a suit based on any claim of
infringement of a copyright or patent or any claim of misappropriation or a
trade secret, Yurie shall, at its option: (i) negotiate a license or other
agreement with the claimant so that the product or service is no longer subject
to such injunction, (ii) modify the product or service so that it becomes non-
infringing, provided such modification can be accomplished without materially
affecting the performance of the product, or (iii) refund the relevant portion
of the fees paid by AT&T. The entire liability of Yurie with respect to
infringement and/or misappropriation resulting from the use of Technical
Information or products delivered hereunder shall not exceed the monies paid
under Article IV for all costs, damages, attorney's fees and other expenses and
Yurie shall not be liable for any amount in excess of such monies.

PHASE I TECHNICAL CRITERIA
--------------------------
The LDR100 should be shown to exhibit its claimed functionalities.
Specifically, AT&T testing of the LDR100 must be able to verify:
- The ability to support the customer-side interfaces (e.g., TAXI,
XX-000, XX-000, XX-000, XX-000, XXX-000, two-wire analog, and frame-relay
interfaces).
- The ability to interconnect with the AT&T network (both for the ATM-
based InterSpan service and non-ATM network).
- The ability to operate with a FORE Systems ATM Switch.
- The ability to perform voice compression and modem demodulation and
remodulation.
- The ability to "fail gracefully" in the presence of traffic overload
(e.g., existing high-priority traffic should still be transmitted in the
presence of high-volume lower-priority traffic presented to the switch; and one
should be able to initiate new high-priority traffic when the switch is already
loaded with existing high- and low-priority traffic).
- The ability to support a "bandwidth-on-demand" capability.

PURCHASE ORDER ORDERING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
--------------------------------------------
CAPTIONS - The captions in the purchase order and this Exhibit are included for
convenience only and shall not be construed to define or limit any of the
provisions contained herein.
CFC PACKAGING - Yurie warrants that all packaging materials furnished under the
purchase order and all packaging associated with material furnished therein were
not manufactured using and do not contain chlorofluorocarbons. "Packaging"
means all bags, wrappings, boxes, cartons and any other packing materials used
for packaging. Yurie shall indemnify and hold AT&T harmless for any liability,
fine or penalty incurred by AT&T to any third party or governmental agency
arising out of AT&T's good faith reliance upon said warranty.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS - Yurie and all persons furnished by Yurie shall comply at
their own expense with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws,
ordinances, regulations and codes, including those relating to the use of
chlorofluorocarbons, and including the identification and procurement of
required permits, certificates, licenses, insurance, approvals and inspections
in performance under the purchase order. Yurie agrees to indemnify, defend (at
AT&T's request) and save harmless AT&T, its affiliates, its and their customers
and each of their officers, directors and employees from and against any losses,
damages, claims, demands, suits, liabilities, fines, penalties and expenses
(including reasonable attorney's fees) that arise out of or result from any
failure to do so.
Yurie and all persons furnished by Yurie shall comply with the same standards of
conduct required of employees of AT&T. By way of illustration only and not
limitation, such standards include those set forth in Section 27 or the Office
of Federal Procurement Policy Act (P.L. 100-679) as amended, and in Section 319
of the Xxxx Amendment (P.L. 101-121), both as implemented in the Federal
Acquisition Regulation, and in the booklet Corporate/Personal Integrity Program,
a copy of which will be provided to Yurie by AT&T's Representative. Each of
Yurie's officers, agents, representatives or consultants performing under the
purchase order shall execute and promptly furnish the Pledge in the booklet to
AT&T. To the extent applicable to Yurie, Yurie shall promptly provide to AT&T a
Disclosure of Lobbying activities (OMB Std. Form LLL) as required by the Xxxx
Amendment and executed by Yurie.
CHANGES TO EQUIPMENT - Any change that Yurie proposes to the equipment furnished
hereunder and the documentation related thereto that would impact upon (a)
reliability, (b) the equipment's specifications, or (c) form, fit, or function
requires the approval of AT&T. Yurie shall forward such proposed change to Xx.
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xx. Contract Administrator, at least sixty (60) days prior to
the proposed effective date except for those cases where an extremely
unsatisfactory condition requires immediate action, in which case Yurie shall
promptly advise AT&T. Yurie shall at the time of notification, provide AT&T with
(a) a product change number, (b) a description of such change, (c) the reason
for such change, (d) a classification of
Page 27
such change in accordance with the change classifications below, (e) a
description of the impact of such change upon (1) reliability, (2) the
equipment's specifications, and (3) form, fit, or function; (f) proposed price
impact, if any, for B, and (g) proposed effective date for such change and
recommended implementation schedule therefor.
Any change in equipment shall be classified into one of the following two
classes:
"A" Changes which are needed to correct inoperative electrical or mechanical
conditions, or extremely unsatisfactory operating or maintenance conditions, or
conditions which result in safety hazards, and which are judged severe enough to
have to be made to all equipment in process, stock, or installed. (Any
conditional application criteria to be specified in the change notification
document.)
"B" Changes which are sufficiently important to justify their application to
equipment being manufactured (as soon as reasonably possible), and which are
recommended for application to existing installations in the field. Examples of
this class of change may include, but are not limited to:
(a) Providing new features that directly affect subscriber service.
(b) Providing design improvements which result in better service
capabilities, longer life or improved transmission margins.
(c) Providing changes in design which result in important cost savings to
AT&T.
(d) Conditions of a mandatory nature, for example, the fulfillment of federal
registration or future compatibility requirements, or for conditions of
sufficient importance to be intended for universal application (change to
be shown as "recommended").
The final classification of any product change proposed by Yurie will be by
mutual agreement between Yurie and AT&T.
For Class A changes, Yurie shall, to the extent required by the Warranty
provisions of the purchase order governing repair or replacement of equipment
under warranty, replace or modify, at no charge, all affected equipment
furnished hereunder and documentation related thereto. Yurie shall supply
relevant documentation to AT&T for all Class A changes. Yurie shall propose a
schedule for the application of these changes at all equipment locations which
shall not exceed one (l) year from date of change notice. This schedule shall be
mutually agreed upon by AT&T and Yurie.
For Class B changes, Yurie shall first notify AT&T of the exact nature of the
change. Details on the proposed implementation procedure for equipment which is
being or will be manufactured shall be discussed with AT&T. AT&T shall, at its
option, determine if equipment previously
Page 28
shipped will be replaced or modified. Should such replacements or modifications
be deemed necessary, Yurie shall, pursuant to the provisions of the purchase
order governing repair of equipment not covered under warranty, make
arrangements for the necessary equipment replacement or modification at prices
and schedules to be mutually agreed upon by AT&T and Yurie prior to
implementation. Documentation related thereto shall be provided by Yurie as
specified for Class A above.
In the event that Yurie and AT&T shall fail to reach agreement on any such
change in equipment to be made by Yurie, then in addition to all other rights
and remedies of law or equity or otherwise, AT&T shall, without any charge,
obligation or liability whatsoever, have the right to terminate the purchase
order and any or all purchase orders for equipment affected by such change.
CONTRACT PRICE - Yurie agrees to sell all equipment ordered by AT&T under the
purchase order based on discounts established in Section 3.03g. This equipment
shall be discounted based on the discount schedule set forth therein. AT&T
purchase orders will be for configured units configured to each Customer's
requirements and include staging to meet delivery schedules. Purchases for the
type of equipment under the purchase order which were acquired by a purchase
order for demonstration or trial prior to the execution of same shall be counted
in the cumulative total and the terms and conditions of the purchase order shall
govern these purchases. There shall be no increases in the discounts established
in Section 3.03g during the term of the purchase order. Should Yurie's
published commercial price for equipment be reduced before the delivery date,
the price to AT&T for such equipment shall be reduced accordingly. In such
event, the adjusted equipment price shall be discounted based on the discount
schedule set forth herein.
DELIVERY - Equipment shall be delivered by Yurie f.o.b. origin, unless otherwise
specified in AT&T's purchase order, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of
a written authorization on the purchase order by AT&T's Supplier Management
Division Representative or a mutually agreeable delivery date set prior to the
placement of a purchase order for this equipment. AT&T will make reasonable
effort to provide Yurie with periodic sales forecasts throughout the term of the
AT&T/Yurie Agreement in order to allow Yurie an opportunity to plan for product
needs, however any forecasts provided shall be provided by AT&T to Yurie for
information purposes only and shall not be considered firm offers by AT&T to
procure forecasted products at the times so indicated.
Yurie agrees not to deliver equipment prior to the agreed upon delivery date
without AT&T's prior written authorization.
DISPOSITION OF RECURRING NO-TROUBLE-FOUND RETURNS - The same production
equipment element/component shall not be returned by Yurie to AT&T with the
notation no-trouble-found (NTF) on more than one (1) occasion. On the second
occasion that a production equipment element/component has been classified by
Yurie as NTF, the production equipment element/component shall be scrapped by
Yurie and Yurie shall ship a new rather than
Page 29
reconditioned replacement to AT&T for the scrapped production equipment
element/component at no charge for that production equipment under warranty.
For out of warranty production equipment, Yurie shall invoice AT&T for the new
production equipment element/component at the discounts applicable under Section
3.03g of Yurie's current selling price for the production equipment
element/component.
DOCUMENTATION - Yurie agrees to furnish all documentation set forth in the basic
Agreement and/or purchase order applicable to equipment furnished hereunder, to
timely update documentation to reflect changes to equipment, and to furnish all
succeeding changes to such documentation. AT&T may reproduce such documentation
for use with equipment furnished hereunder. At a minimum, Yurie shall furnish
the type and quantity of documentation described herein at the times therein
required.
Whether or not specifically required by the purchase order, Yurie shall, with
each shipment by Yurie to AT&T, include all manuals covering the installation,
operation and maintenance of the equipment shipped.
All documentation and any subsequent changes or updates shall reference Yurie's
model numbers, issue numbers and date of issue.
Yurie agrees to maintain a mailing list of AT&T's recipients of such
documentation without charge.
ENVIRONMENTAL/RELIABILITY TESTING - Yurie shall perform environmental testing of
the production equipment in accordance with the AT&T Technical Reference-PUB
51001 entitled NETWORK EQUIPMENT - BUILDING SYSTEM (NEBS) GENERAL EQUIPMENT
REQUIREMENTS, Sections 3, 4, and 5. Yurie agrees to report the test results to
AT&T or its agents.
An initial sample of production equipment shall be subjected by AT&T to Product
Qualification Tests. These tests shall be more comprehensive than the normal
production tests and shall include checks of all functions, protocols and
interfaces and shall be repeated periodically at intervals not to exceed three
(3) months. Variables data (actual readings rather than go/no go data) shall be
recorded for these tests to ascertain any changes/drifts in the measured
parameters. Product Qualification Tests shall also be performed upon the
implementation of any major design changes requested by AT&T.
It is the responsibility of Yurie to demonstrate during the term of the purchase
order that the actual reliability of the delivered production equipment equals
or exceeds the reliability predictions. Yurie shall conduct studies to measure
the replacement/failure of supplied production equipment under actual operating
conditions or simulated operating conditions in a controlled laboratory
environment. These studies may be 1) factory based (where returns are compared
with shipment figures), 2) conducted at an operational site with a sufficient
population
Page 30
of production equipment in service to provide reasonable confidence in observed
replacement estimates, 3) an ongoing factory based (controlled) reliability test
of a sufficient sample of production equipment to provide a timely assessment of
production equipment reliability or 4) all of the above. At AT&T's request, the
results and the analysis of the collected data shall be provided by Yurie to
AT&T.
EQUIPMENT TESTING - In addition to any other tests to be requested by AT&T as
set forth in the purchase order, Yurie is responsible for the performance of
standard factory production tests which, in the absence of any other testing
requested by AT&T as set forth elsewhere in the purchase order, shall be deemed
to be the final tests under the order. Such tests shall be performed in
accordance with Yurie's normal testing and quality control procedures for
equipment of the type purchased here under in order to insure that the equipment
provided hereunder meets all applicable specifications. At the option of AT&T,
Yurie shall furnish a copy of its test plans and quality control procedures to
AT&T prior to initiating any such testing and AT&T, at its expense, may witness
any of the testing by giving prior notice to Yurie. Yurie also agrees to
maintain detailed records of all such tests and to provide AT&T, if requested,
with written results of these tests.
In the event that the equipment fails to meet the applicable specifications and
test requirements, Yurie shall make the necessary adjustments or repairs and
repeat the applicable tests. If, in the opinion of AT&T, the failure rates
experienced during these tests become unsatisfactory, all shipments of like
equipment to AT&T shall be suspended unless otherwise authorized by AT&T.

(NOTE: It was determined during discussion between the Parties that the levels
of insurance set forth above, specifically sub-items (2) and (5) were below what
AT&T considers to be minimum levels of insurance for these areas of liability
identified. The Parties agreed that these levels of liability would be reviewed
by Yurie to determine the economic feasibility of increasing these levels to
$300,000 and $5,000,000, respectively. This review will be completed within
forty-five (45) days following the ratification of this Agreement and AT&T will
be advised as to the course of action Yurie will take regarding the recommended
increases.)

the foregoing as confidential or proprietary.
SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS - The obligations of the parties under the purchase
order, which by their nature would continue beyond the termination, cancellation
or expiration of the purchase order, including, by way of illustration only and
not limitation, those in the clauses
Page 39

USE OF INFORMATION and WARRANTY (and INSURANCE and INDEMNITY if included in the
purchase order), shall survive termination, cancellation or expiration of the
purchase order.
TAXES - AT&T shall reimburse Yurie only for the following tax payments with
respect to transactions under the purchase order unless AT&T advises Yurie that
an exemption applies: state and local sales and use taxes, as applicable. Taxes
payable by AT&T shall be billed as separate items on Yurie's invoices and shall

no charge during normal business hours. During the warranty period set forth in
the purchase order, Yurie's field service technical support shall be provided to

shall be agreed upon by AT&T and Yurie.
TERMINATION OF PURCHASE ORDER - AT&T may, with written notice given no later
than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to scheduled delivery, terminate any
purchase orders placed under the AT&T/Yurie Agreement. Unless otherwise
specified in the Agreement or in this purchase order, AT&T's liability to Yurie
with respect to such terminated purchase order or orders shall be limited to:
(1) Yurie's purchase price of all components for the material (not usable in
Yurie's other operations or salable to Yurie's other customers), plus (2) the
actual costs incurred by Yurie in procuring and manufacturing material (not
usable in Yurie's other operations or salable to Yurie's other customers) in
process at the date of the notice of termination; less (3) any salvage value
thereof. However, no such termination charges shall be payable if within sixty
(60) days after notice of termination material equivalent in kind to that being
terminated is ordered by AT&T from Yurie. If requested, Yurie agrees to
substantiate such costs with proof satisfactory to AT&T.
TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS - Title and risk of loss and damage to material purchased
by AT&T under the purchase order shall vest in AT&T when the material has been
delivered at the point of shipment. If a purchase order issued calls for
additional services including, but not limited to, unloading, installation, or
testing, to be performed after delivery, Yurie shall retain
Page 40
title and risk of loss and damage to the material until the additional services
have been performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Yurie is
expressly authorized to invoice AT&T for material upon shipment or prior to the
performance of additional services, title to such material shall vest in AT&T
upon payment of the invoice, but risk of loss and damage shall pass to AT&T as
provided in the foregoing sentence.
TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT - Unless otherwise specifically provided in the purchase
order, Yurie shall provide all labor, tools and equipment (the "tools") for
performance of the purchase order. Should Yurie actually use any tools owned or
rented by AT&T or its customer, Yurie acknowledges that it accepts the tools "as
is, where is," that neither AT&T nor its customer have any responsibility for
the condition or state of repair of the tools and that Yurie shall have risk of
loss and damage to such tools. Yurie agrees not to remove the tools from AT&T's
or its customer's premises and to return the tools to AT&T or its customer upon
completion of use, or at such earlier time as AT&T or its customer may request,
in the same condition as when received by Yurie, reasonable wear and tear
excepted.
USE OF INFORMATION - Yurie shall view as AT&T's property any idea, data,
program, technical, business or other tangible information, however conveyed,
and any document, print, tape, disk, tool, or other tangible information-
conveying or performance-aiding article owned or controlled by AT&T, and
provided to, or acquired by, Yurie under or in contemplation of the purchase
order (Information). Yurie shall, at no charge to AT&T, and as AT&T directs,
destroy or surrender to AT&T promptly at its request any such article or any
copy of such Information. Yurie shall keep Information confidential and use it
only in performing under the purchase order and obligate its employees,
subcontractors and others working for it to do so, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to information previously known to Yurie free of obligation, or
made public through no fault imputable to Yurie.
WAIVER - The failure of either party at any time to enforce any right or remedy
available to it under the purchase order or otherwise with respect to any breach
or failure by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such
right or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party.
WORK DONE BY OTHERS - If any of the Work is dependent on work done by others,
Yurie shall inspect and promptly report to AT&T's Representative any defect that
renders such other work unsuitable for Yurie's proper performance. Yurie's
silence shall constitute approval of such work as fit and suitable for Yurie's
performance.

except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
