2. Sales Forecasts.
2.1. ONI will give E-TEK monthly rolling * *week forecasts ("Forecasts")
for the proposed purchase and sale of Supplies, broken down by weeks. ONI shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide 52-week forecasts.
2.2. Subject to Sections 1.5 and Exhibit A of this Agreement, the * *
weeks and only the * * weeks of the rolling forecast are binding forecasts
("Binding Forecasts"). ONI will purchase and issue Orders for all Supplies
covered under Binding Forecasts, in the amounts, and for delivery at the times,
provided in such Binding Forecasts. (Higher quantities of Supplies in earlier
Forecasts will prevail over lower quantities in subsequent Forecasts.)
3. Volumes.
3.1. Notwithstanding any Forecast, ONI will purchase and issue Orders for
Supplies in accordance with the Purchase Commitment in Exhibit A.
4. Purchase Price.
4.1. The prices set forth on Exhibit B apply to all Supplies purchased by

4.2. Prices exclude taxes, shipping, handling, transportation and
insurance. Taxes and costs may be added to the invoice as a separate charge or
invoiced separately.
5. Payment. E-TEK will invoice ONI upon shipment of Supplies. ONI will
pay the invoiced amount within thirty days from the date of delivery of the
Supplies. Such payments will be in U.S. currency. Any invoice not paid in full
by the due date will have a late payment charge of one and one-half percent per
month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less) assessed against
any unpaid balance from the due date of the invoice until the date of payment.
E-TEK may hold shipment when payments are past due.
6. Delivery; Acceptance.
6.1 Delivery of Supplies from E-TEK to ONI will be FCA/FOB (Incoterms) E-
TEK's facility.
6.2. Subject to the quarterly loss allowance described in Exhibit C, risk
of loss, but not title, to ONI components consigned to E-TEK shall pass to E-TEK
upon delivery of such components to E-TEK's carrier. All other shipment terms
for ONI components supplied on consignment to E-TEK will be governed by FCA/FOB
(Incoterms) ONI's facility.
6.3. ONI accepts delivery of all Supplies, requested on any given Order or
any Binding Forecasts, from E-TEK unless it notifies E-TEK in writing within
fifteen days of receipt that it rejects certain Supplies. Any notice of
rejection will include the reasons for the rejection.
6.4 E-TEK shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely manufacture
sufficient Supplies pursuant to any accepted Orders. In the event that Supplies
are delivered more than thirty days after the scheduled delivery date ("Delayed
Delivery"), ONI will have the right to recover damages equal to the difference
between the purchase price and the market price of the subject Supplies on the
scheduled delivery date. In addition, ONI may procure substitute products from
other suppliers at the cost or expense of ONI. Any substitute products
purchased by ONI from other suppliers as a result of Delayed Delivery shall be
credited against ONI's Purchase Commitment to E-TEK set forth in Exhibit A.
7. Configuration Control.
7.1. ONI may ask E-TEK to change the Specifications of any Supply custom-
designed to ONI's Specifications. E-TEK will use commercially reasonable
efforts to evaluate and make a requested change. If the affected Supply is in
production and E-TEK determines to change the Specification as requested, ONI
will purchase any custom-designed work in process rendered non-conforming by
ONI's requested change. If ONI's requested change alters E-TEK's cost of a
Supply, or requires additional time or resources for E-TEK to implement, then
the parties will negotiate a reasonable price adjustment and lead time for the
affected Supply and the parties will modify the Orders and forecasts
accordingly.
7.2. E-TEK may change any Supply if the change does not render the Supply
non-conforming to the Specifications; provided that E-TEK notifies ONI in
writing promptly (as is reasonable under the circumstances) prior to
implementing such change in the Supply. Such notice shall include a detailed
description of the changes to be made to the Supply and a written assurance that
such changes will not render the Supply non-conforming to the Specification.
8. Term and Termination.
8.1 This Agreement will remain in effect until December 31, 2001 ("Initial
Term") and will automatically renew for successive * * year periods. Either
party can terminate the Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or at the end
of a subsequent renewal term by giving written notice to the other party at
least ninety days before the end of such term.
8.2. Either party may also terminate this Agreement upon written notice
if:
8.2.1. the other party breaches a material term of this Agreement and
fails to cure it within ninety days of receiving written notice of such breach.
8.2.2. the other party ceases to do business (excluding mergers,
acquisitions, consolidations or reorganizations) because of election to
dissolve, dissolution, insolvency, inability to pay debts as they become due,
general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or, upon the other party's
filing of any bankruptcy petition, whether voluntary or involuntary.
9. Intellectual Property Warranty and Indemnity.
9.1. E-TEK agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ONI and its
officers, directors, successors and assigns from and against any and all loss,
damage, settlement or expense (including reasonable legal expenses), as
incurred, resulting from or arising out of any claims that any Supply or the use
or sale thereof infringe upon, misappropriate or violate any patents,
copyrights, or trade secret rights or proprietary rights (collectively,
"Intellectual Property Rights") of persons, firms or entities who are not
parties to this Agreement; provided that ONI (i) immediately notifies E-TEK, in
writing, of any notice or claim of such alleged infringement, violation or
misappropriation involving the Supplies of which it becomes aware, and (ii)
permits E-TEK to control the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of
any such claim using counsel of E-TEK's own choosing; and, (iii) fully
cooperates with the defense. ONI may employ counsel, at its own expense, to
assist it with respect to any such claim.
9.2. E-TEK's obligation to indemnify will not cover any claim that asserts
that a Supply infringes any third party's rights only when used in combination
with any other technology or device not supplied by E-TEK under this Agreement,
and not as a standalone product.
9.3. If by reason of such infringement claim, ONI shall be prevented or
are likely to be prevented by injunction or other legal means from selling or
using any Supplies, or if, in E-TEK's opinion, such claim is likely to occur, E-
TEK will have the right, but not the obligation, to (i) obtain all rights
required to permit the sale or use of the Supplies by ONI, or (ii) modify or
replace such Supplies to make them non-infringing (and extend this

indemnity thereto), provided that any such replacement or modified Supplies are
reasonably satisfactory to ONI. If E-TEK is unable to achieve either of the
options set forth above within a reasonable period of time after issuance of the
injunction, but in no event longer than ninety days after E-TEK's receipt of
notice thereof, then (i) ONI will immediately cease any further use and
distribution of the Supplies, (ii) any further supply obligations for those
Supplies will be terminated without any liability to E-TEK, and (iii) E-TEK will
promptly return the fees for those Supplies which are paid by ONI hereunder and
returned promptly to E-TEK (plus related shipping costs), less the amortized
portion of the purchase price amortized on a straight line basis over five years
from the date of purchase.
9.4. In no event will E-TEK's aggregate liability under this section ever
exceed the total purchase price received from ONI for the alleged infringing
Supply.
9.5. THE FOREGOING IS E-TEK'S SOLE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT
TO ANY CLAIMS RELATING TO E-TEK'S ACTUAL OR ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OR
MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. EXCEPT FOR
THE WARRANTY STATED IN SECTION 9.1, E-TEK DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, RELATING TO CLAIMS THAT THE SUPPLIES INFRINGE, OR ARE
DERIVED FROM, ANY THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
10. Product Warranties.
10.1. E-TEK warrants to ONI that for a period of * *
from the date of delivery of a Supply (the "Warranty Period") that such Supply
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, and will conform to the
agreed-upon Specifications. This warranty shall not apply in any instance where
any such defect or nonconformity is a result, in whole or in part, of a non-E-
TEK-sourced defective or nonconforming component, material or product supplied
by or through ONI. This warranty is subject to proper installation, operation
and maintenance of the subject Supply in accordance with reasonable industry
standards and/or documentation (if any) to be provided by E-TEK. E-TEK's sole
obligation under this warranty is, at E-TEK's option, to either repair, replace
or correct any defect, or to refund the purchase price upon 30 days from the
return of the defective Supply. Prior to returning any defective Supply, ONI
will request a Return Material Authorization "RMA" number which will be provided
by E-TEK within 48 working hours. All returned Supplies will be shipped to E-
TEK's principal offices with freight and insurance prepaid by ONI; provided,
that the cost will be reimbursed to ONI if the subject Supplies are
nonconforming or defective within the Warranty Period. Supplies that are
repaired or serviced by E-TEK will be warranted as provided in this section for
either the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety days after the
Supplies are re-delivered to ONI, whichever is later. E-TEK will provide in
writing a Preliminary Root Cause Analysis within 30 days of E-TEK's receipt of
defective Supplies, and a full Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Action plan
within 60 days of E-TEK's receipt of defective Supplies. Further grace periods
might be granted per E-TEK's request.
10.2. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS SECTION 10, E-TEK DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

EXHIBIT A
---------
ONI will purchase Module Integration Services and Optical Components from E-TEK.
Each Module will be comprised of components, broken down into two groups:
Optical Components ("OC") and Other Components.
Purchase Commitment:
For each quarter during this Agreement beginning July 1, 2000, ONI will purchase
from E-TEK at least * * of its requirements of
Module Integration Services listed in Exhibit B, and functionally similar
products. E-TEK will have reasonable audit rights, exercised not more than once
in any six-month period, to confirm that this purchase commitment is being met.
If, at the end of any quarter, E-TEK has accumulated more than two-weeks of
back-schedule versus ONI's demand, indicating their inability to supply to ONI's
required volume of Module Integrated Services, E-TEK will not have audit rights
for that quarter and ONI will not be obligated to purchase the above mentioned
volume in that quarter.
For each quarter during this Agreement beginning July 1, 2000, ONI will purchase
from E-TEK at least * * of its requirements of OCs listed in
Exhibit B, and functionally similar products. These E-TEK OCs will be purchased
from E-TEK and supplied by ONI on consignment. All non-E-TEK OCs and all Other
Components will also be supplied by ONI on consignment. E-TEK will have
reasonable audit rights, exercised not more than once in any six-month period,
to confirm that this purchase commitment is being met. If, at the end of any
quarter, E-TEK has accumulated more than two-weeks of back-schedule versus ONI's
demand, indicating their inability to supply to ONI's required volume of OCs, E-
TEK will not have audit rights for that quarter and ONI will not be obligated to
purchase the above mentioned volume in that quarter.
These purchase commitments will be evaluated in U.S. dollars valued at E-TEK's
prices. The audits contemplated in the two preceding paragraphs will be
conducted by third parties. Those third parties will be appointed by E-TEK,
subject to ONI's consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
Once E-TEK's OCs supply situation and product portfolio improves and E-TEK feels
they can offer price competitive "turn-key" modules, ONI will consider
converting existing consignment business into "turn-key" business where E-TEK
directly procures all the required components and sub-assemblies and sales the
modules as products.
The terms of consignment are described in Exhibit C.

Long-term Price Reduction.
Notwithstanding the terms in section 4 of the Agreement, E-TEK will decrease the
prices in this Exhibit B by at * * each year, beginning January 1,
2002. This * * price decrease will be based, for each Module type, on the
average unit price of that type of Module sold by E-TEK to ONI in the then-
preceding * *month period.

Exhibit C
---------
Supply of Components by ONI:
All ONI-supplied components will be timely delivered to E-TEK on consignment,
will meet agreed-upon specifications, and will be free from defects in materials
and workmanship. E-TEK will have no liability to ONI as a result of any ONI-
supplied components that are delivered late, defective or out of spec to E-TEK.
For each quarter beginning April 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000, E-TEK will
be allowed a quarterly loss allowance of an amount equal to the greater *
* of total revenues received by E-TEK in that quarter. For each quarter
beginning October 1, 2000, that quarterly loss allowance will be an amount equal
to the greater of * * of total revenues received by E-TEK in
that quarter. This loss allowance is in addition to the value of ONI-components
that are delivered damaged or defective to E-TEK. If E-TEK loses or destroys
ONI-supplied components in excess of this loss allowance, E-TEK will pay or
credit ONI for such lost or destroyed components in a per unit amount to be
decided by the parties in good faith.
Physical Inventory Audit:
Physical Inventory for ONI-components consigned at E-TEK's facilities will be
performed by E-TEK and audited by ONI ("PI"), once a quarter, or more frequently
if otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties. On a weekly basis, ONI will
provide to E-TEK the computed book value of ONI's consignment inventory then
located at E-TEK facilities based on the last PI results, adjusted by the
transactions of the then-preceding week. Within 5 working days of E-TEK's
receipt of ONI's computed book value, E-TEK must either agree or disagree in
writing with ONI's computed book value, including details and justifications in
case of disagreement. In order to keep the consignment inventory as accurate as
possible, both parties will act in good faith and report any discrepancies to
the other party as soon as discovered.
In the event that ONI's computed book value differs from E-TEK's estimate of
ONI's consigned inventory by more than $25,000, PI will be performed as soon as
possible, but no later than a week from such event.
