execute and deliver to Finisar such documents and certificates and to take such other and further
actions as may be reasonably requested by Finisar to evidence the cancellation of such Seller’s

2.2 Escrow. At the Closing, or soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, Finisar

for borrowed money or guaranty by AZNA of any obligation of another person for borrowed money or
otherwise, each as of the Closing.
(B) The Initial Consideration Note and the Cash at Closing shall be reduced, in the aggregate

(C) Sellers acknowledge and agree that AZNA is a party to certain government contracts,
identified on Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Government Contracts”), which may only be
performed by AZNA following the Closing upon the consent and approval of each applicable United
States governmental agency. In the event each applicable United States governmental agency
delivers to AZNA, on before the Survival Period End Date (as defined below in Section 9.5), final
written notice of its consent and approval to the performance by AZNA of all of the Government
Contracts following the Closing, with no material modification to any rights, duties or obligations
of the parties thereunder and no material delay in payment or performance by the applicable United
States governmental agency under any of the Government Contracts as a consequence of the
acquisition of AZNA by Finisar, then Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Five Hundred Three Dollars

Agreement, be released and distributed, within three (3) business days thereafter, to the Common
Unitholders and Common Optionholders on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the portion of Cash at
Closing each is to receive as set forth on Exhibit B, and Finisar, the Founder and Sellers’
Representative agree to jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to effect such release. In the event any
applicable United States governmental agency or agencies delivers final written notice to AZNA at
any time prior to the Survival Period End Date that it does not consent to or approve the
performance by AZNA of any one or more of the Government Contracts following the Closing as a
consequence of the acquisition of AZNA by Finisar, or otherwise consents to or approves the
performance by AZNA of any one or more of the Government Contracts subject to terms or conditions
(including but not limited to material modification to any rights, duties or obligations of the
parties thereunder) which are unacceptable to Finisar in its sole discretion, then Finisar shall be
entitled to recovery against the Escrow Cash
10
and Escrow Note, on a dollar-for-dollar basis and without any setoff or reduction, for the
entire aggregate amount which would have been paid to AZNA by the governmental agency pursuant to
such Government Contracts on and after the Closing Date had the governmental agency given its
consent and approval and AZNA had fully performed such Government Contracts in their entirety. In
the event there is any material delay in payment or performance by any applicable United States
governmental agency under any of the Government Contracts as a consequence of the acquisition of
AZNA by Finisar, then Finisar shall be entitled to recovery against the Escrow Cash and Escrow
Note, on a dollar-for-dollar basis and without any setoff or reduction, for the aggregate amount of
damages incurred by AZNA arising or resulting from such material delay in payment or performance.
Any claim by Finisar for damages under this Section 2.3(C) shall be made first against the amount
of Escrow Cash held in the Escrow Fund, up to full amount thereof, and if the Escrow Cash is
insufficient to satisfy the full amount of damages, Finisar may make recourse against the Escrow
Note, up to the full amount thereof, for the remainder of the damages.

with all applicable requirements of the SEC and to obtain any desired acceleration of the effective
date of such Registration Statement. Such provision of information and materials is a condition
precedent to the obligations of Finisar pursuant to this Section 5.10(A). The offering made
pursuant to such registration shall not be underwritten.
(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Finisar shall be entitled to postpone the filing or
declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to
exceed ninety (90) calendar days after the deadlines therefore set forth in this Section 5.10, if
Finisar determines that there exists material nonpublic information about Finisar which would be
required by the Securities Act to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the disclosure of
which, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of Finisar, would be detrimental
to Finisar.
(C) Subject to the limitations of Section 5.10(B), Finisar shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of such date as all
Registrable Securities then held by the Founder could be sold under Rule 144(k) or Rule 145 or such
date as all Registrable Securities have been sold by Founder (the “Registration Period”); (ii)
prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary, and to comply with the provisions of
the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other
disposition of all securities proposed to be registered in the Registration Statement during
the Registration Period; and (iii) furnish to Founder such number of copies of any prospectus
(including any preliminary prospectus and any amended or supplemented prospectus) in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Founder may
reasonably request in order to effect the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities to be
offered and sold.
(D) Finisar shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of such states as the Founder
reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those states, such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such
other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at
all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or
advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such states. Finisar shall promptly
notify the Founder of Finisar’s Knowledge of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities
laws of any states or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use
commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such suspension or obtain its withdrawal if such
suspension occurs.
37
(E) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, Finisar
shall notify the Founder in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic
information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to
correct such untrue statement or omission. Finisar shall also promptly notify the Founder in
writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective
(notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Founder by facsimile on the same day
of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, (iii) of Finisar’s reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate,
or (iv) when it obtains knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation or Threatened initiation of any
proceeding for that purpose, after which Finisar shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal.
(F) In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is
insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, Finisar shall amend the Registration
Statement, or file a new Registration Statement, or both, so as to cover all of such Registrable
Securities as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the
necessity therefor arises. Finisar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares
available under the Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the
Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of Registrable Securities issuable during the
Registration Period is greater than the number of shares available for resale under such
Registration Statement.
(G) Finisar will indemnify the Founder against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and
expenses (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of
any litigation, commenced or threatened, and will promptly reimburse as incurred any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by Founder in connection with the investigation or defense of any
action, whether or not resulting in liability arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus,
preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, incident to any registration, qualification or compliance effected pursuant to this
Section 5.10, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation or any alleged violation by
Finisar of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in
connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, provided that Finisar will not
be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or
38
liability arises out
of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Finisar by the Founder and
specifically for use therein.
(H) It shall be a condition to Finisar’s obligations hereunder to register the Registrable
Securities of the Founder that the Founder agree to indemnify Finisar, each of Finisar’s directors
and officers, each person who controls Finisar within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) and
expenses arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
Finisar by the Founder specifically for use therein.
(I) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.10 (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”)
promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may
be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct
the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval
shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party’s expense; provided,
however, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be
represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such
Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to
differing or potentially differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
Section 5.10 unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying
Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(J) All registration, filing and qualification fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements
of legal counsel for Finisar, and expenses of any special audits and underwriters’ fees, discounts
or commissions, if any, incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 5.10, shall be paid by Finisar.
5.11 Nasdaq Quotation. Finisar agrees to continue the quotation of Finisar Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market until one month after the conversion of the last shares of
39
Finisar Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund. Finisar shall make such filings as are necessary, if
any, with the Nasdaq stock market regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.12 Additional Contracts. Prior to the Closing, the Founder, on behalf of AZNA, was
pursuing certain new research and development proposals with the United States government, as
described in Exhibit F attached hereto (the “R&D Proposals”). Finisar and AZNA hereby
disclaim any interest in, and shall make no ownership claims with respect to, any government
contracts that arise out of the Research Proposals and that are granted or awarded after the
Closing to Founder or any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of
which Founder is then an owner, partner, shareholder, director, officer, employee or consultant
(“Other Entity”) (the “New Government Contracts”); provided, however, that neither Founder nor such
Other Entity shall infringe any Intellectual Property of AZNA in performing any New Government
Contracts or otherwise; and provided further, that Founder shall indemnify, defend and hold Finisar
and AZNA harmless from and against any and all liabilities of whatever kind or amount arising out
of or relating to such New Government Contracts.

Sellers:
(A) by mutual written consent of Finisar and Founder;
(B) by either Finisar or Founder:
(i) if the Transactions are not consummated on or before March 26, 2007 (the “Outside Date”),
unless the failure to consummate the Transactions is the result of a willful and material breach of
this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement;
(ii) if any Governmental Body issues an order, decree or ruling or takes any other action
permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions and such order,
decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; or
(iii) if any condition to the obligation of such party to consummate the Transactions set
forth in Section 6.1 or in Section 6.2 (in the case of Finisar) or Section 6.3 (in the case of
Sellers) becomes incapable of satisfaction prior to the Outside Date; provided,
however, that the terminating party is not then in willful and material breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement;
(C) by Finisar, if AZNA or Sellers breach or fail to perform in any material respect any of
their representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure
to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Sections 6.2(A) or 6.2(B)
and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of
42
written notice to AZNA
and Sellers of such breach (provided that Finisar is not then in willful and material breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);
(D) by Founder, if Finisar breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to
perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(A) or 6.3(B) and
(ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of
written notice to Finisar
of such breach (provided that Sellers are not then in willful and material breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement).
7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either
Founder or Finisar, as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have
no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Finisar or the Sellers, other than

to the extent that such termination results from the willful and material breach by a party hereof.

8.2 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section,
Exhibit, the AZNA Disclosure Letter or the Finisar Disclosure Letter, such reference shall be to a
Section of, or an Exhibit, or the AZNA Disclosure Letter or the Finisar Disclosure Letter to, this
Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used
in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
8.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by
facsimile, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other

8.4 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, Exhibits, Schedules,
Disclosure Letters, Confidentiality Agreement and other agreements and instruments delivered in
connection herewith constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral,

No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any other agreement, plan, program, or
document unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision “amends” that other agreement,
plan, program, or document. This shall not prevent the parties entitled to enforce this Agreement
from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other party shall be entitled to enforce any
provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to another agreement, plan,
program, or document, unless the provision is explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, and
the Person is otherwise entitled to enforce the other agreement, plan, program, or document. If a
party not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other action to enforce any
provision in this Agreement as an amendment to another agreement, plan, program, or document, and
that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as one
in this Agreement, that provision shall lapse retroactively as of its inception, thereby precluding
it from having any amendatory effect.
8.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely
to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in
this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal
or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement.
8.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under
applicable principles of conflict of laws thereof.
8.7 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by the other party or its successors or
assigns may be brought and determined in any Federal or State court sitting in Santa Clara,
California, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with
regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding
relating thereto except in such courts). Each of the parties further agrees to accept service of
process in any manner permitted by such courts. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or
otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure lawfully to serve
process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or
from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise)
and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) the suit, action or
proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit,
action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be
enforced in or by such courts.
45
8.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations
under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by
any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported
assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement
will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their
respective successors and assigns.
8.9 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that
any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms
or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Agreement.
8.10 Further Assurances. The parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such
further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do
such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of
carrying out this Agreement.
8.11 Sellers’ Representative.
(A) Each Seller, by execution of this Agreement, hereby appoints, effective immediately,
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, to act as such Seller’s representative hereunder (the “Sellers’ Representative”),

stead to act on such Seller’s behalf as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement (including,

the certificates to be delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.2) approvals, extensions,

a replacement to serve as Sellers’ Representative, subject to the approval of the Sellers whose
percentage of the Purchase Price constitutes in the aggregate a majority of the total Purchase
Price allocated to the Common Unitholders and Common Optionholders. With the power of attorney so
granted by each Seller to the Sellers’ Representative, each Seller has authorized the Sellers’
Representative to take any further action which the Sellers’ Representative shall consider
necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing, hereby giving the Sellers’ Representative
full power and authority to do and perform each and every act requisite as necessary to be done in
and about the foregoing as fully as such Seller might or could do if
46
personally present, and has
ratified and confirmed all that the Sellers’ Representative shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue thereof. Following the effectiveness of the appointment of the Sellers’ Representative
under this Section 8.11, Finisar shall be entitled to rely on any action or inaction of the
Sellers’ Representative as the action or inaction of the appointing Sellers, any notice from any
such Seller to Finisar shall be delivered to Finisar solely by the Sellers’ Representative, and
Finisar shall be entitled to deliver all notices to any of the Sellers solely to the Sellers’
Representative.
(B) By his, her or its approval and adoption of this Agreement, each Seller agrees that:

Sellers’ Representative as to any actions required in connection with an indemnification claim by
Finisar under Article IX hereof that is in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty made
AZNA or by a Seller in Article III hereof;
(b) the provisions of this Section 8.11 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and
coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any
Seller may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(c) the provisions of this section 8.11 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal
representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Seller, and

distribution or otherwise.
(C) The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any statements furnished to it by any Seller or Finisar, or any other evidence deemed
by the Sellers’ Representative to be reliable, and the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to
act on the advice of counsel selected by it as set forth in subsection below. The Sellers’
Representative shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement unless he or it shall have received such advice or concurrence of such Sellers as he or
it deems appropriate or he or it shall have been expressly indemnified to his or its satisfaction
by such Seller as he or it deems appropriate against any and all liability and expense
that such Sellers’ Representative may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.
(D) The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to retain counsel and to incur such expenses
as the Sellers’ Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with its
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that all fees and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Sellers’ Representative shall be borne by
the Sellers ratably according to the ratio of the percentage of each Seller to the aggregate
Purchase Price.
47
8.12 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law,
but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any
provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in
such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any
provision had never been contained herein.

the amount of, any Damages resulting from:
(A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Founder in Section 3.2 or by such
Common Optionholder or such Unitholder in Section 3.3, of this Agreement,
48
respectively, or any
other certificate or document delivered by Founder or any such Common Optionholder or Unitholder
pursuant to this Agreement; or
(B) any breach by Founder or any such Common Optionholder or Unitholder, respectively, of any
covenant or agreement of Founder or any such Common Optionholder or Unitholder in this Agreement.
9.4 Indemnification and Payment of Damages by Finisar to Sellers. Subject to the
provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Finisar shall indemnify and hold
harmless Sellers and their Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) for,
and will pay to the Seller Indemnified Persons the amount of any Damages, resulting from:
(A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Finisar in Section 3.4 of this
Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered by Finisar pursuant to this Agreement; or
(B) any breach by Finisar of any covenant or agreement of Finisar in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing, Finisar shall have no obligation hereunder
to indemnify AZNA.
9.5 Indemnification and Payment of Damages by Finisar to Founder. Subject to the
provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Finisar shall indemnify and hold
harmless Founder and his Representatives (collectively, the “Founder Indemnified Persons”) for, and
will pay to the Founder Indemnified Persons the amount of any Damages, resulting from:
(A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Finisar in Section 3.5 of this
Agreement, the Finisar Disclosure Letter, or any other certificate or document delivered by Finisar
pursuant to this Agreement.
9.6 Time Limitation on Indemnification. If the Closing occurs, no claim for
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(A), Section 9.4(A) or Section 9.5(A) may be made unless on
or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the “Survival Period End Date”) the party
seeking indemnification notifies the indemnifying party in writing of a claim specifying the
factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by the party making the
claim; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any fraud or intentional
breach of a representation or warranty. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(A)
that is based on a breach of Section 3.2 or 3.3 may be made at any time after the Closing and the
Survival Period End Date.
9.7
Limitations on Amount - Sellers
The Sellers will have no liability with respect to
the matters described in Section 9.2(A) until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters
exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Basket”); at which point the Sellers shall
be liable for all Damages (and not just those in excess of the Basket), but in any event subject to
a maximum aggregate amount of the sum of the Escrow Cash and the Escrow Note (the “Cap”). The sole
and exclusive recourse of the Indemnified Person(s) for indemnification
49
and recovery of Damages
from the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(A) shall be the money or other property held by the Escrow
Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; provided, that the Damages shall be satisfied first from
the Escrow Cash, up the full amount thereof, prior to any setoff against or application of, the
Escrow Note.
Any claim for indemnification under Section 9.3(A) against Founder shall be made first against
the amount of Escrow Note held in the Escrow Fund, and if the Escrow Note is insufficient to
satisfy any such claim, the Indemnified Person(s) may make recourse to Founder directly for the
insufficiency. Any claim for indemnification under Section 9.3(A) against any Common Unitholder or
Optionholder shall be made first against the amount of Escrow Cash held in the Escrow Fund and
attributable to such Common Unitholder or Optionholder, respectively, in accordance with
Exhibit B, and if such amount is insufficient to satisfy any such claim, the Indemnified
Person(s) may make recourse to such Common Unitholder or Optionholder for the insufficiency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limits set forth in this Section 9.6 shall not apply to any
claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(B) or 9.3(B) or any fraud or intentional breach
by AZNA or Sellers of any representation or warranty made by AZNA or Sellers in this Agreement, the
AZNA Disclosure Letter or any other certificate or document delivered by AZNA or Sellers pursuant
to this Agreement.
9.8
Limitations on Amount - Finisar. Finisar will have no liability with respect to the matters described in Section 9.4(A)
or Section 9.5(A) until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds the Basket;
at which point Finisar shall be liable for all Damages (and not just those in excess of the
Basket), but in any event subject to a maximum of the Cap. Any Damages payable by Finisar to the
Sellers pursuant to this Article IX shall be payable solely in cash. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the limits set forth in this Section 9.8 will not apply to any claim for indemnification
pursuant to Section 9.4(B) or any fraud or any intentional breach by Finisar of any representation
or warranty made by Finisar in this Agreement, the Finisar Disclosure Letter, or any other
certificate or document delivered by Finisar pursuant to this Agreement.
9.9
Procedure for Indemnification - Third Party Claims.
(A) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.2, Section 9.3, Section 9.4
or Section 9.5, as applicable, 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 indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.
(B) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 9.9(A) is brought against an indemnified party
and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the
50
extent that it
wishes (unless 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 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, in which case
the indemnified party may retain its own counsel and be reimbursed for its expenses incurred in
connection therewith pursuant to this Article IX), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with
counsel reasonably 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 Article IX 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 and except as provided above. 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
by an indemnified 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 or other
determination binding solely on 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 thirty (30) days after the indemnified party’s notice is given (or such shorter period in
which indemnified party is required by any applicable Legal Requirement to respond to such
Proceeding), give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such
Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or
any reasonable compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.
(C) 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 determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected
without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).
9.10
Procedure for Indemnification - Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any
matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom
indemnification is sought.
9.11 Escrow.
(A) Subject to Sections 9.6 and 9.7 above, Finisar will be entitled to payment from the Escrow
Fund from time to time equal to the amount of Damages the Indemnified
51
Persons are entitled to
recover under this Article IX. Each claim asserted against Sellers or any of them pursuant to
Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and in
the Escrow Agreement.
(B) On the Survival Period End Date, the Escrow Note and Escrow Cash remaining in Escrow Fund
will be delivered to the Sellers’ Representative for distribution to the Sellers. If, however,
there are one or more claims or notices of claims pending or not fully satisfied on the Survival
Period End Date, the Escrow Note and Escrow Cash subject to such pending claims will remain in the
Escrow Fund until all such pending claims are determinable or are settled and all amounts due have
been paid in full, and the balance of the Escrow Note and Escrow Cash if any, remaining in the
Escrow Fund will be delivered to the Sellers’ Representative for distribution to the Sellers.
9.12 Insurance and Tax Benefits. The amount of Damages subject to indemnification
under this Article IX shall be reduced by (i) the amount, if any, which the indemnified party
receives under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages and the indemnified party will, in
good faith, pursue claims for insurance proceeds to which it is entitled,
and (ii) the amount, if any, of the present value of any tax benefit which the indemnified
party may receive or otherwise enjoy with respect to the matter which gave rise to the Damages.
