3.3 Employee Transfers.

(a) Continuing Employees. Continuing Employees shall not be terminated upon the Effective Time, but rather the rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of JDSU or the relevant Subsidiary of JDSU to such Employees in respect of their relevant terms of employment in force immediately before the Effective Time shall remain with Lumentum or one (1) of its Subsidiaries or Viavi or one (1) of its Subsidiaries as required by applicable Law or this Agreement.

(b) Automatic Transfer Employees. Automatic Transfer Employees shall not be terminated upon the Transfer Date, but rather the rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of JDSU or the relevant Subsidiary of JDSU to such Employees in respect of their relevant terms of employment in force immediately before the Transfer Date shall be transferred to Lumentum or one (1) of its Subsidiaries by operation of applicable Law.

(i) Effective on the Transfer Date, Non-Automatic Transfer Employees engaged in the Lumentum Business shall transfer through termination or resignation and rehire, or through jointly agreed-upon transfer, as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, to Lumentum or one (1) of its Subsidiaries. For such Non-Automatic Transfer Employees, Lumentum or its relevant Subsidiary shall offer employment to each such Employee effective on the Transfer Date, with each such offer to provide the Employee with the same general work location and the same base salary as is in effect immediately prior to the Transfer Date and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions of employment in the aggregate as was provided by JDSU or its relevant Subsidiary immediately prior to the Transfer Date.

(ii) Effective on the Transfer Date, Non-Automatic Transfer Employees engaged in the JDSU Business but employed by a member of the Lumentum Group shall transfer through termination or resignation and rehire, or through jointly agreed-upon transfer, as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, to an entity that will become a member of the Viavi Group upon the Distribution. For Non-Automatic Transfer Employees who are intended to become Viavi Group Employees, JDSU or its relevant Subsidiary shall offer employment to each such Employee effective on the Transfer Date specified earlier in this paragraph, with each such offer to provide the Employee with the same general work location and the same base salary as is in effect immediately prior to such a date and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions of employment in the aggregate as was provided by JDSU or its relevant Subsidiary immediately prior to the Transfer Date.

(d) Cooperation. Each of the parties agrees to execute, and to seek to have the applicable Employees execute, such documentation, if any, as may be necessary to reflect the relevant continuation and/or transfers of employment described in this section.

(e) Transfers of Employment Benefits. The parties agree that with respect to any transfers of employment, they will cooperate for the transfer of benefits under principles consistent with this Agreement to the extent possible; provided, that where vendor or legal issues exist, neither party shall be liable for the failure to replicate in such circumstances.

(f) At-Will Status. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of any member of the JDSU Group, any member of the Viavi Group, or any member of the Lumentum Group to (i) continue the employment of any Employee after the date of this Agreement (except as required by applicable Law or contracts) or (ii) change the “at will” employment status of any U.S. Employee, to the extent that such Employee is an “at-will” employee under applicable Law and is not otherwise entitled to continued employment under any applicable contracts.

(g) No Termination of Employment. In no event shall any administrative action taken by either party and/or their third party record-keeper, payroll agent, and/or plan trustee or administrator, to effectuate the transfer of employment pursuant to this section, including the identification of JDSU Group Employees as “terminated” in JDSU’s electronic systems, or the electronic systems of any third party record-keeper, payroll agent, and/or plan trustee or administrator, be deemed to be a termination of any JDSU Group Employee’s employment for any purpose unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The parties acknowledge and agree that the continuation or transfer of the employment of Employees as contemplated by this section shall not entitle any JDSU Group Employees or Lumentum Group Employees to separation payments, benefits or rights of any kind unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(h) Not a Change of Control/Change in Control. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither the consummation of the Transfer nor any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to be a “change of control,” “change in control,” or term of similar import for purposes of any Benefit Plan or Individual Agreement sponsored or maintained by any member of the JDSU Group.

3.4 Assignment of Individual Agreements. The existing employer of any Automatic Transfer or Non-Automatic Transfer Employee shall assign to the new employer of such Employee all Individual Agreements to the extent permissible by applicable Law or the terms of such agreements.

3.6 Employee Transfer Or Termination Costs. To the extent the transfer of JDSU Group Employees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement triggers any payout of notice, severance, termination indemnities or similar payments, such payments if triggered prior to the Distribution, will be retained, accepted and/or assumed by the JDSU Group. However, any such payments associated with those JDSU Group Employees engaged in the Lumentum Business or otherwise anticipated by the parties to transfer to the Lumentum Group in connection with the Distribution shall be treated as a Corporate Contingent Liability as defined in the CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT and shall be subject to the treatment of Corporate Contingent Liabilities as set out in the CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT.

Such recognition of seniority shall include any seniority that JDSU or any of its Subsidiaries recognized from any previous employer(s) with respect to each Lumentum Group Employee. The service crediting provisions shall be subject to any respectively applicable “service bridging,” “break in service,” “employment date” or “eligibility date” rules under the JDSU Welfare and 401(k) Plans or Lumentum Welfare and 401(k) Plans.

Regardless of the method by which such awards are paid to Lumentum Group Employees and notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, the JDSU Group shall retain and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill any and all Liabilities with respect to, in relation to, or for claims made by any Lumentum Group Employees with respect to awards earned and payable under the JDSU Variable Compensation Plans.

(b) Payment of Earned Awards. The parties agree that Lumentum Group Employees who have earned any amount of awards under the applicable JDSU Variable Compensation Plans prior to the Distribution Date shall be entitled to receive payment of such awards notwithstanding any requirement in the applicable JDSU Variable Compensation Plans that the Employee remains employed by JDSU on the date of the payment.

Article VIII

EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

8.1 General Principles.

(a) Generally. Each JDSU Equity Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be adjusted as described below; provided, however, that the JDSU Compensation Committee may provide for different adjustments with respect to some or all JDSU Equity Awards to the extent that the JDSU Compensation Committee deems such adjustments to be necessary and appropriate. Any adjustments made by the JDSU Compensation Committee pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to have been incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth below and shall be binding on the parties and their respective Affiliates.

(b) Continuation of JDSU Equity Plans as Viavi Equity Plans. At the Effective Time, Viavi will take all action necessary to assume or continue the JDSU Equity Plan and the JDSU ESPP as the Viavi Equity Plan and the Viavi ESPP, respectively.

(c) Establishment of the Holdings Equity Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, Holdings shall adopt the Holdings Equity Plan under which the Holdings Equity Awards shall be assumed or substituted in conversion of the corresponding JDSU Equity Awards held by Lumentum Group Employees. To the extent necessary for any such Holdings Equity Awards to qualify for transitional relief under Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(f)(4)(iii), the JDSU Compensation Committee shall take the necessary action to approve the Holdings Equity Plan and the Holdings Equity Awards.

(d) Equity Awards Subject to Applicable Equity Plan and Award Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, all JDSU Equity Awards adjusted or converted pursuant to this Article VIII shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Viavi Equity Plan or Holdings Equity Plan and corresponding award agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, all references to the applicable company in award agreements subject to a Viavi Equity Plan or to the Holdings Equity Plan, as applicable, including but not limited to, “Corporate Transaction,” “Change in Control” or similar terms and other administrative provisions requiring interpretation shall refer to the appropriate company to reflect the Transfer (e.g., the definition of “Corporate Transaction” under an award agreement subject to the Holdings Equity Plan shall mean a Corporate Transaction with respect to Holdings rather than Viavi). Except as otherwise provided by this Article VIII, each adjusted Viavi Equity Award or converted Holdings Equity Award shall be subject to the same terms after the Effective Time as were applicable to the corresponding JDSU Equity award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Service Credit. Following the Effective Time, a grantee who has outstanding equity-based awards under one (1) or more of the Viavi Equity Plans and/or converted equity-based awards under the Holdings Equity Plan shall be considered to have been employed by the applicable plan sponsor before and after the Effective Time for purposes of (i) vesting and (ii) determining the date of termination of employment as it applies to any such award. The assignment or transfer of employment of any JDSU Group Employee to a member of the Lumentum Group or to another member of the JDSU Group, or the continuation of employment of any JDSU Group Employee by a member of the Viavi Group will not be deemed a termination of or separation from employment for purposes of any JDSU, Holdings or Viavi Equity Plan.

(f) Application to Members of JDSU Board. Each JDSU Equity Award held immediately prior to the Effective Time by a member of the JDSU Board who will continue as a member of the Viavi Board or who will continue as a member of the Holdings Board at the Effective Time shall be adjusted or converted pursuant to this Article VIII in the same manner as a similar award held by a Viavi Group Employee or a Lumentum Group Employee, as applicable.

(g) Cooperation of the Parties. JDSU (and as applicable, Viavi) and Holdings shall take any and all reasonable actions as shall be necessary and appropriate to further the provisions of this Article VIII, including, without limitation, assisting one another following the Distribution Date with administrative or other support necessary to comply with applicable Laws in applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions and to the extent practicable, providing written notice or similar communication to each Employee or director who holds one (1) or more JDSU Equity Awards informing such Employee or director, as applicable, of (i) the actions contemplated by this Article VIII with respect to such awards and (ii) whether (and during what time period) any “blackout” period shall be imposed upon holders of such awards during which time awards may not be exercised or settled, as the case may be.

(h) Compliance with Applicable Law.

9.11 Waivers of Default. A waiver by a party of any default by another party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the waiving party. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party so waiving.
