5CC. Real Property.
-------------
(i) The Real Property Schedule attached hereto sets forth a list of all
----------------------
real property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Owned Real Property"). With respect to each such parcel of Owned Real Property:
-------------------
(a) such parcel is free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Encumbrances
and the deed of trust in favor of Bank of America, N.A. described on the
attached Real Property Schedule; (b) there are no leases, subleases, licenses,
----------------------
concessions, or other agreements, written or oral, granting to any person the
right of use or occupance of any portion of such parcel other than as set forth
on the Real Property Schedule attached hereto; and (c) there are no outstanding
----------------------
actions or rights of first refusal to purchase such parcel, or any portion
thereof or interest therein.
(ii) The Real Property Schedule attached hereto sets forth a list of all
----------------------
of the leases, subleases and licenses ("Leases") of real property in which the
------
Company or any of its Subsidiaries have a leasehold, subleasehold and licensed
interest. The Company or such Subsidiary holds a valid and existing leasehold,
subleasehold or license interest under each of the Leases. With respect to each
Lease listed on the attached Real Property Schedule, there are no disputes, oral
----------------------
agreements, or forbearance programs in effect as to such Leases and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have assigned, transferred, conveyed,
mortgaged, deeded in trust or encumbered any interest in the Lease.
(iii) Except for the real property set forth on the attached Real Property
-------------
Schedule (the "Real Property"), there is no real property leased or owned by the
-------- -------------
Company or used in the Company's business.
(iv) There are no proceedings in eminent domain or other similar
proceedings pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened or affecting any
portion of the Real Property. There exists no writ, injunction, decree, order or
judgment outstanding, nor any litigation, pending or threatened, relating to the
ownership, lease, use, occupancy or operation by any Person of the Real
Property.
(v) The current use of the Real Property does not violate any instrument
of record or agreement affecting such Real Property. There is no violation of
any covenant, condition, restriction, easement, agreement or order of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over any of the Real Property that
affects such real property or the use or occupancy thereof. No damage or
destruction has occurred with respect to any of the Real Property that,
individually or in the aggregate, has had or resulted in, or will have or result
in, a Material Adverse Effect.
(vi) All buildings and all components of all buildings, structures and
other improvements included within the Real Property (the "Improvements") are in
------------
good condition and repair and adequate to operate such facilities as currently
used. There are no facts or conditions affecting any of the Improvements which
would, individually or in the aggregate, interfere in any significant respect
with the use, occupancy or operation thereof as currently used, occupied or
operated or intended to be used, occupied or operated. There are no structural
deficiencies or latent defects affecting any Improvements located upon the Real
Property. All utilities and other similar
-34-
systems serving the Real Property are installed and operating and are sufficient
to enable the Real Property to continue to be used and operated in the manner
currently being used and operated, and any so-called hook-up fees or other
associated charges have been fully paid. Each such utility or other service is
provided by a public or private utility or service company and enters the Real
Property from an adjacent public street or valid private easement owned by the
supplier of such utility or other service. Each Improvement has direct access to
a public street adjoining the Real Property on which such Improvement is
situated over the driveways and accessways currently being used in connection
with the use and operation of such Improvement and no existing accessway crosses
or encroaches upon any property or property interest not owned by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries. No Improvement or portion thereof is dependent for its
access, operation or utility on any land, building or other improvement not
included in the Real Property.
(vii) The Real Property is in compliance with all applicable building,
zoning, subdivision and other land use and similar laws affecting the Real
Property (collectively, the "Real Property Laws"), and neither the Company nor
------------------
any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of violation or claimed
violation of any Real Property Law. There is no pending or, to the Company's
knowledge, any anticipated change in any law that will have or result in a
significant adverse effect upon the ownership, alteration, use, occupancy or
operation of the Real Property or any portion thereof. No current use by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any of the Real Property is dependent on a
nonconforming use or other approval from a governmental authority, the absence
of which would limit the use of any of the properties or assets in its operation
of its business.
5DD. Regulatory Status. Since its date of incorporation, neither the
-----------------
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been, and as of the Closing Date shall
not be, a "United States real property holding corporation," as defined in
Section 897(c)(2) of the Code and in Section 1.897-2(b) of the Treasury
Regulations issued thereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
is an "investment company" or an "affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or
"principal underwriter" for, an "investment company," as such terms are defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any law which regulates the incurring of
Indebtedness by the Company or such Subsidiary, including any laws relating to
common contract carriers or the sale of electricity, gas, steam, water or other
public utility services.

other items prepared and supplied to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the
Company or the Shareholders with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, when taken together as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make each statement contained

------
any such Company Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of,
in connection with, relating or incidental to or by virtue of: (i) any breach of
any representation or warranty of the Company or the
-40-
Shareholders under this Agreement or any of the Schedules or Exhibits attached
hereto, or in any of the certificates or other instruments or documents
furnished by the Company or the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement; (ii)

only to the extent of such excess; and provided further that the Shareholders'
-------- -------
aggregate liability under clause (i) above (other than with respect to the

(including this Paragraph 8B) shall limit or restrict any of the Company
Parties' right to maintain or recover any amounts in connection with any action

payments for the benefit of the Company under this Paragraph 8B shall be deemed
adjustments to the Repurchase Price set forth in Xxxxxxxxx 0X above. All
indemnification payments for the benefit of any Purchaser under this Paragraph

applicable laws.
(ii) Indemnification for the Benefit of the Company by the Purchasers. Each
----------------------------------------------------------------
Purchaser shall, with respect to itself and not jointly with respect to any of
the other Purchasers, indemnify the Company and its Affiliates, shareholders
(including the Shareholders but excluding the Purchaser), officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns
(collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") and hold them harmless
-----------------------------
against any Losses which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain
or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating or incidental
to or by virtue of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of such
Purchaser under this Agreement or any of the Schedules or Exhibits attached
hereto, or in any of the certificates or other instruments or documents
furnished by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any
nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant, agreement or other
-41-
provision by such Purchaser under this Agreement or any of the Schedules and
Exhibits attached hereto.
(iii) Manner of Payment. Any indemnification of the Company Parties or the
-----------------
Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Paragraph 8B shall be effected by
wire transfer of immediately available funds from one or more of the
Shareholders or the Purchasers, as the case may be, to an account designated by
any Company Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be, within 15
days after the determination thereof. Any such indemnification payments shall
include interest at the Applicable Rate calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over 360, from the date any such Loss is suffered or
sustained to the date of payment. Any amounts owing from the Shareholders
pursuant to this Paragraph 8B shall first be made to the extent possible from

terms of this Paragraph 8B(iii).
(iv) Defense of Third Party Claims. Any Person making a claim for
-----------------------------
indemnification under this Paragraph 8B (an "Indemnitee") shall notify the
------------
indemnifying party (an "Indemnitor") of the claim in writing promptly after
----------
receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or
other claim against it (if by a third party), describing the claim, the amount
thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided that the
-------- ----
failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its
obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that)
such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated
to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the
Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or
other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee's claim for indemnification at such
Indemnitor's expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth
below) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in
connection with such defense; provided that, prior to the Indemnitor assuming
-------- ----
control of such defense it shall first (a) verify to the Indemnitee in writing
that such Indemnitor shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of any
rights) for all liabilities and obligations relating to such claim for
indemnification and that it shall provide full indemnification (whether or not
otherwise required hereunder) to the Indemnitee with respect to such action,
lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to such claim for
indemnification hereunder and (b) enter into an agreement with the Indemnitee in
form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee which agreement
unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance of any liability or
obligation which may arise with respect to such action, lawsuit, proceeding,
investigation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder;
and provided further, that:
-------- -------
(1) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense
of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose;
provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne
-------- ----
by the Indemnitee (other than any fees and expenses of such separate
counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnitor effectively
assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall
be borne by the Indemnitor);
-42-
(2) the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such
defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the
Indemnitee (it being understood, however, that the Indemnitor shall only be
required to pay such fees and expenses if it is determined that the
Indemnitor has any indemnification obligations with respect to such claim
pursuant to this Agreement) if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to
or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment,
allegation or investigation; (ii) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an
adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation,
proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification
would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnitee's reputation or future
business prospects; (iii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief
against the Indemnitee; (iv) the claim involves environmental or
international trade matters, in which case the Indemnitee shall have sole
control and management authority over the resolution of such claim,
including hiring legal counsel and consultants, conducting investigations
and environmental cleanups, negotiating with governmental agencies and
third parties and defending or settling claims and actions; provided that
-------- ----
the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably apprised of any major
developments relating to any such environmental or international trade
claim; (v) the Indemnitee has been advised in writing by counsel that a
reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the

Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company would be irreparably
damaged if such Shareholder were to provide services to any person or entity

by the Company. Each Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that the
covenants and agreements set forth in this Paragraph 8D were a material
inducement to the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement and to perform their
obligations hereunder, and that the Purchasers would not obtain the benefit of
the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the
Parties if such Shareholder breached the provisions of
-44-
this Paragraph 8D. Therefore, in further consideration of the Repurchase Price
to be paid to the Shareholders hereunder for the Repurchased Shares (which

as of the Closing Date and engaged in such competing or similar business
anywhere in the Restrictive Territories, including any business engaged in the
manufacture, development, sale or distribution of fiber optic related equipment,
parts, components, systems or subsystems for telecommunication, communication or
networking applications; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit such
-------- ----
Shareholder from being a passive owner of not more than 5% of the outstanding
stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded or from being the

Shareholder acknowledges that the business of the Company has been conducted on
a worldwide scale (including as the same relates to the production, promotion,
marketing and sale of its products and services), that approximately fifty
percent of the Company's sales are made in foreign jurisdictions and that the
geographic restrictions set forth above are reasonable and necessary to protect
the goodwill of the Company's business being sold by the Shareholders pursuant
to this Agreement.
(ii) Until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, neither
Shareholder shall directly, or indirectly through another entity, (a) induce or

the relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any employee
thereof, (b) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries at any time during the 90 day period immediately prior to the date
on which such hiring would take place (it being conclusively presumed by the
Parties so as to avoid any disputes under this Paragraph 8D(ii) that any such
hiring within such 90-day period is in violation of clause (a) above), or (c)
call on, solicit or service any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other
business relation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in order to induce
or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Company or
such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such
customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company
-45-
or any of its Subsidiaries (including making any negative statements or
communications about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).
(iii) If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in
this Paragraph 8D (the "Restrictive Covenants"), a court shall hold that the
---------------------

circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope
or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the
restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area
permitted by law. Each Shareholder has consulted with legal counsel regarding
the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and
hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of
duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill
of the Company's business and the substantial investment in the Company made by
the Purchasers hereunder. Each Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that
the Restrictive Covenants are being entered into by such Shareholder solely in
connection with the sale by such Shareholder of the goodwill of the Company's
business and not directly or indirectly in connection with such Shareholder's
employment or other relationship with the Company.
(iv) If a Shareholder breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of,
any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the following rights
and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the
others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not
in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in
equity:
(a) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants
specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being
agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants
would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would
not provide an adequate remedy to the Company; and
(b) the right and remedy to require such Shareholder to
account for and pay over to the Company any profits, monies, accruals,
increments or other benefits derived or received by such Shareholder as the
result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive
Covenants.

of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant with respect to
such Shareholder shall be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.
-------------
11A. Fees and Expenses. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph
-----------------
11A, the Company shall pay all of the Purchasers' (other than Broadview
Associates, LLC) and the Shareholders' fees and expenses (including fees and
expenses of legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers and other
representatives and consultants), or reimburse such Parties for such fees and
expenses, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated. Such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed at the Closing
or, if the Closing does not occur, shall be payable on demand. In the event the
transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated for any reason (other than
as specifically provided below) then the aggregate amount of fees and expenses
of the Purchasers (other than Broadview Associates, LLC) paid or reimbursed by
the Company shall not exceed $175,000. In the event the transactions
contemplated hereby are not consummated solely as a result of the termination of
this Agreement by the Purchasers pursuant to subparagraph 10A(iii) above, then
each of the Purchasers shall pay all of its own fees and expenses and the
Company shall have no obligation to pay such fees and expenses. In the event the
transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated by reason of the breach by
the Company or the Shareholders of any provision of this Agreement, then the
Company shall pay or reimburse all of the Purchasers' (other than Broadview
Associates, LLC) fees and expenses without regard to the $175,000 limit set
forth in this Paragraph 11A and the Company's obligation to pay or reimburse the
Purchasers for such fees and expenses shall be in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any other rights or remedies the Purchasers may have for any breach of this
Agreement; provided that in the event the transactions contemplated hereby are
-------------
not consummated as a result of any breach of any representations or warranties
made by the Company or the Shareholders in this Agreement the Purchasers' sole
remedy prior to the Closing
-57-
shall be the payment or reimbursement of the Purchasers' fees and expenses as
set forth in this Paragraph 11A (in an aggregate amount not to exceed $175,000,
unless any such breach or breaches constitute fraudulent misrepresentation or
deceit, in which case the provisions set forth above in this sentence shall
apply without regard to the limitations set forth in this proviso). If the
Purchasers terminate this Agreement solely because such Purchasers are not
satisfied with the results of their due diligence investigation and evaluation
of the matters set forth on the Due Diligence Schedule attached hereto under the
----------------------
heading "Business Matters", the Purchasers shall reimburse the Company and the
Shareholders for their reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (in an aggregate amount
not to exceed $100,000). Any fees and expenses of Broadview Associates, LLC
(other than up to $3,000,000 pursuant to the agreement described on the attached
Contracts Schedule) shall be satisfied in full by the Shareholders and not
------------------
directly or indirectly by the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay, and
shall hold each Purchaser harmless against liability for the payment of, all
stamp and other Taxes which may be payable in respect of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the issuance, delivery or acquisition of any shares
of Preferred Stock and the issuance, delivery or acquisition of any shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. If any legal action or
other proceeding relating to this Agreement, the agreements contemplated hereby,
the transactions contemplated hereby or the enforcement of any provision of this
Agreement or the agreements contemplated hereby is brought against any Party,
the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover
all expenses relating thereto (including attorneys' fees and expenses) from the
Party against which such action or proceeding is brought in addition to any
other relief to which such prevailing Party may be entitled.
11B. Remedies. The Purchasers and the Shareholders shall have all
--------
rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and the Articles of
Incorporation and all rights and remedies which the Purchasers and the
Shareholders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract
executed in connection with this transaction and all of the rights which such
Persons have under applicable law. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees
that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the
provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific
terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that
the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this
Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any
court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the
Parties and the matter.
11C. Transfer of Restricted Securities.
---------------------------------
(i) Restricted Securities are transferable only pursuant to (a)
public offerings registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in
force) if such rule is available and (c) subject to the conditions specified in
subparagraph (ii) below, any other legally available means of transfer.
(ii) In connection with the transfer of any Restricted Securities
(other than a transfer described in clause (a) or (b) of subparagraph (i)
above), the holder thereof shall deliver written notice to the Company
describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed transfer,
-58-
together with an opinion of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & West LLP or other
counsel which (to the Company's reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in
securities law matters to the effect that such transfer of Restricted Securities
may be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the
Securities Act. In addition, if the holder of the Restricted Securities delivers
to the Company an opinion of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & West LLP or such other
counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Restricted Securities shall require
registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon such
contemplated transfer deliver new certificates or instruments, as the case may
be, for such Restricted Securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend
set forth in Paragraph 11C(v) below. If the Company is not required to deliver
new certificates or instruments, as the case may be, for such Restricted
Securities not bearing such legend, the holder thereof shall not transfer the
same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing
its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Paragraph 11C(ii)
and Paragraph 11C(v) below.
(iii) Upon the request of a holder of Restricted Securities, the
Company shall promptly supply to such holder or such holder's prospective
transferees all information regarding the Company required to be delivered in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
(iv) If any Restricted Securities become eligible for sale pursuant
to Rule 144(k), the Company shall, upon the request of the holder of such
Restricted Securities, remove the legend set forth in Paragraph 11C(v) from the
certificates or instruments, as the case may be, representing such Restricted
Securities.
(v) Each certificate or instrument representing Restricted
Securities shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The transfer of the securities
represented hereby is subject to the conditions specified in the
Recapitalization Agreement dated as of June 27, 1997, by and among the
issuer (the "Company") and certain investors, and the Company
-------
reserves the right to refuse the transfer of such securities until such
conditions have been fulfilled with respect to such transfer. A copy of
such conditions shall be furnished by the Company to the holder hereof upon
written request and without charge."
11D. Consent to Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, or any
---------------------
provision of this Agreement may be waived; provided that any such amendment or
-------- ----
waiver shall be binding upon the Company only if set forth in a writing executed
by the Company and referring specifically to the provision alleged to have been
amended or waived, any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon a
Shareholder only if set forth in a writing executed by such Shareholder and
referring specifically to the provision alleged to have been amended or waived,
and any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon any Purchaser only if set
forth in a writing executed by the Purchasers holding a majority of the Common
Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held (or to be
purchased hereunder) by all Purchasers and referring specifically to the
provision
-59-
alleged to have been amended or waived. No course of dealing between or among
the Parties shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of
this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of
this Agreement.
11E. Successors and Assigns.
----------------------
(i) This Agreement and all covenants and agreements contained
herein and rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by or on behalf of any of
the Parties hereto, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto whether so expressed or
not, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the covenants and agreements
herein or rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or
delegated by any Shareholder, or assigned or delegated by the Company prior to
the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.
(ii) Each of the Purchasers may (at any time prior to the
Closing), in its sole discretion, assign in whole or in part its rights and
obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including the right to purchase any
Preferred Stock) to one or more of its Affiliates or to any other Person or
Persons, and each of the Purchasers may, in its sole discretion, direct the
Company to convey any Preferred Stock to one or more of its Affiliates or to any
other Person or Persons, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws;
provided that in no event shall the Purchasers collectively assign the right to
-------- ----
purchase or direct the Company to convey any shares of Preferred Stock having a
purchase price in excess of $20,000,000 in the aggregate; and provided further
-------- -------
that none of the Purchasers (other than the Purchase Representative) may assign
----
any right to purchase any Preferred Stock hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Purchaser Representative. In connection with any such assignment,
the assigning Purchaser shall cause the prospective assignee to execute and
deliver to the Parties a counterpart to this Agreement and the Shareholders
Agreement and an acknowledgment by such Person agreeing to be bound by all terms
and provisions hereof as a "Purchaser" hereunder and as "Investor" and
"Shareholder" under the Shareholders Agreement. Each of the Purchasers and,
following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may assign its rights
pursuant to this Agreement, including its rights to indemnification, to any of
its lenders as collateral security. Each of the Purchasers and, following the
Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may assign this Agreement and its
rights and obligations hereunder in connection with a merger or consolidation
involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with a sale of
stock or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other disposition
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(iii) In addition, and whether or not any express assignment has
been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for a Party's benefit as a
holder of Restricted Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by,
any subsequent holder of such Restricted Securities.
11F. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
------------
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any
such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by,
illegal or unenforceable under applicable law in any respect by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent
of such prohibition or
-60-
illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11G. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
------------
counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages), any one of
which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, but all such
counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
11H. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The headings and captions
------------------------------------
used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or
Exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the
meanings set forth in this Agreement. The use of the word "including" herein
shall mean "including without limitation." The Parties intend that each
representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent
significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant
contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another
representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter
(regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not
breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach
of the first representation, warranty or covenant.
11I. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the agreements and documents
----------------
referred to herein contain the entire agreement and understanding between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings (including that certain letter agreement (and the
attachments thereto) dated May 23, 1997, between Summit Partners, L.P. and the
Shareholders), whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any
way.
11J. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole
----------------------------
benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing
herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other
than the Parties and such permitted successors and assigns, any legal or
equitable rights hereunder.
11K. Schedules. Nothing in any Schedule attached hereto shall be
---------
adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this
Agreement unless such Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and
describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a
document or other item shall not be adequate to disclose an exception to a
representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless the representation or
warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself. No
exceptions to any representations or warranties disclosed on one Schedule shall
constitute an exception to any other representations or warranties made in this
Agreement unless the substance of such exception is disclosed as provided herein
on each such other applicable Schedule or a specific cross-reference to a
disclosure on another Schedule is made.
11L. Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Parties shall cooperate fully, as
--------------------------
and to the extent reasonably requested by each Party and at the requesting
Party's expense, in connection with
-61-
any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such
cooperation shall include the retention and (upon any Party's request) the
provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such
audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of
any material provided hereunder. The Parties agree (i) to retain all books and
records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its
Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date
until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified
by any Party, any extensions thereof) applicable to such taxable periods, and to
abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority,
and (ii) to give each Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring,
destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any Party so
requests, the Purchasers, the Company or the Shareholders, as the case may be,
shall allow such party to take possession of such books and records.
11M. Schedules and Exhibits. All Schedules and Exhibits attached
----------------------
hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement as if set forth in full herein.
11N. Treatment of the Preferred Stock. The Company covenants and
--------------------------------
agrees that (i) so long as federal income tax laws prohibit a deduction for
distributions made by the Company with respect to Preferred Stock, it shall
treat all distributions paid by it on the Preferred Stock as nondeductible
dividends on all of its tax returns, (ii) it shall treat the Preferred Stock as
preferred stock in all of its financial statements and other reports and shall
treat all distributions paid by it on the Preferred Stock as dividends on
preferred stock in such statements and reports and (iii) the Company will not
report constructive dividends under Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-5(b) with
respect to the Preferred Stock.
11O. Governing Law. The corporate law of the State of California shall
-------------
govern all issues and questions concerning the relative rights and obligations
of the Company and the holders of its equity securities. All other issues and
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions
(whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
California. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of
California shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement
(and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction's
choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other
jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
11P. Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given
-------
or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the
recipient, one day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight
courier service (charges prepaid), upon acknowledgment of receipt after
transmittal by facsimile or five days after being mailed to the recipient by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. Such

Shareholders and the Company at the addresses

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO RECAPITALIZATION AGREEMENT ("Amendment") is made as
of August 17, 1998, by and among the undersigned.
WHEREAS, the undersigned, and certain others, entered into that June 27,
1997 Recapitalization Agreement and that July 15, 1997 Amendment No. 1 To
Recapitalization Agreement (collectively, "Agreement"), and the undersigned now
wish to amend the same on the terms set forth below; and,
WHEREAS, this Amendment is made in connection with and in consideration of
an amendment of even date herewith to that certain July 23, 1997 Employment
Agreement ("Employment Agreement") between E-Tek Dynamics, Inc., a California
corporation, and Xxxx Xxxx Pan ("Pan").
1. Paragraph 8D(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended to modify the
duration of the non-compete provisions applying to Pan by deleting the clause
that reads:
"...and J.J. Pan agrees that until the earlier of (i) two years
following termination of the Employment Period (as defined in the
Employment Agreement) or (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date,"
and replacing it with:
"...and J.J. Pan agrees that until the earlier of (i) July 23, 1999;
or, (ii) the termination of his employment by the Company without cause,"
2. For purposes of the preceding paragraph, termination of employment by
the Company shall be deemed with cause if it is based on Pan's commission of a
material act of dishonesty, wrongful use or disclosure of the Company's
confidential or proprietary information, material breach of this Agreement or
the Employment Agreement, gross carelessness or misconduct in the performance of
his duties, or any other actions that have or are likely to have an adverse
effect on the Company's business or reputation.
3. Each of the undersigned represents and warrants that this Amendment has
been duly executed and delivered by such person, and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of such person, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
