NOW, THEREFORE, In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants of the parties made herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS.

“Strategic Partner” means an entity, which has rights and privileges similar to those granted to ADVA in this Agreement. Acacia agrees to limit the total number of Strategic Partners that have early access to the AC100 100G coherent optical module to a total of [**] including ADVA/Juniper.

“Confidential Information” means all financial, business and technical information of the disclosing party or any of its affiliates, suppliers, customers and employees (including information about research, development, operations, marketing, transactions, discoveries, inventions, technologies, products, methods, processes, materials, algorithms, firmware, specifications, designs, drawings, data, strategies, plans, roadmaps, know-how and ideas, whether tangible or intangible) that is disclosed by or for a party in relation to this Agreement, and that is marked or otherwise identified as proprietary or confidential at the time of disclosure or that by its nature would be understood by a reasonable person to be proprietary or confidential, and all copies, abstracts, summaries, analyses and derivatives thereof.

“Customer Application” means any product, system or other application in which ADVA (or its customer) includes or uses in any product.

“Product” means Acacia’s AC100 100G coherent optical module including both hardware and software and having features and functionality as described in this Agreement.

“Prototype” means any prototype, engineering sample or other pre-production version of the Product.

“Product Specification” or “Acacia Final Product Specification” means the mutually agreed technical specification for the final developed Product (the current version of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) Upon written mutual agreement the Specification may be revised to include additional detailed requirements.

Page 1

“Delivery” shall be according to EXW (INCOTERMS 2000) unless otherwise agreed and shall be in accordance with the instructions of ADVA and is deemed to occur once the Products have been received at the designated delivery address.

“Delivery Date” means the date of receipt of the Products by ADVA at the agreed delivery address.

“Development Program Schedule” means Exhibit C attached hereto.

“Early Sample” See Exhibit E - ADVA Acceptance Test Criteria for 100G Module Samples for a full definition of this type product.

“Engineering Sample” or “Engineering Sample Prototypes” See Exhibit E - ADVA Acceptance Test Criteria for 100G Module Samples for a full definition of this type product.

“GA Product” indicates a generally available product and is used as a designation for a product which is fully released for general use and purchase. See Exhibit E - ADVA Acceptance Test Criteria for 100G Module Samples and Exhibit A - Acacia Final Product Specification for a full definition of this type product.

“ADVA Acceptance Criteria” means the agreed performance criteria which must be met in order for ADVA to accept Early Samples and Engineering Sample Prototypes. This criteria is defined in Exhibit E - ADVA Acceptance Test Criteria for 100G Module Samples.

Exhibit B - 100G Software emulator evaluation board

Description

Acacia’s 100G Software Emulation/Hardware Evaluation platform is a multipurpose tool provided to support R&D teams during development and test of 100G line cards.

AC100-EB Overview

The AC100-EB is a two slot ATCA line card that can be used either in an ATCA chassis or stand alone on a lab bench.

Primary capabilities are:

Software emulation

Test platform for AC100 module for both optical and electrical testing

Support for OTL 4.10 interconnect to JDSU 100G tester via CFP break out board

Software emulator

In the early stage of system development customers can use the Software emulator platform to begin preliminary Software development. By implementing

the MDIO slave interface we enable software developers to design to the MDIO interface before actual Hardware is available. The emulator will support basic functionality listed below:

Read/write of module registers

Firmware download

Emulation for non-MDIO control pins/state transitions (PRG_CNTL[1..3], TX_DIS, MOD_LOPWR, MOD_RSTn)

Hardware evaluation board

The evaluation board is a standalone platform that provides the capability to verify and characterize the 100G module. The MDIO signals are available through the front panel of the ATCA line card which enables direct access to the MDIO hardware pins of the module. Host side high speed data access to and from the module can be tested through a CFP style break out module. This break out module is designed to interoperate with JDSU’s 100G test equipment.

100G Evaluation Platform includes:

Power supplies

FPGA/Micro to provide a bridging functionality

Ethernet support

168-pin Hirose header

CFP style breakout board to provide access to high speed data lanes to and from the module

SMA access to various reference clocks

Overview

This document describes acceptance tests for the different types of 100G MSA module samples that Acacia is making available to Strategic Partners during product development: Mechanical Samples, Early Samples and Engineering Samples, as defined below:

Mechanical sample: Mechanical Samples are non-functional mechanical-only samples that are provided to Strategic Partners to evaluate mechanical considerations like size and fit on customer host cards. Please note that mechanical samples do not house the actual PCB(s), but the 168 pin Hirose connector is present to confirm mechanical fit.

Early Sample: Early Samples have undergone cursory functional testing in Acacia’s test lab. They are provided to Strategic Partners early in the product development phase to enable system bring-up at ambient room temperature with adequate airflow, and to provide early engineering feedback to Acacia. Complete functional testing and qualification has not been performed on Early Samples.

Engineering Sample: Engineering Samples have completed functional testing. The Engineering Samples are functioning in line with the Preliminary Product Specifications, but may contain errata.

Page 34

General Availability of Acacia’s 100G MSA module is achieved when the module has passed all regulatory and safety testing in accordance with the Product Specification.

Samples from Acacia can be tested using Acacia’s 100G evaluation board or with the customer’s host board. First we outline the proposed tests for Mechanical Samples and next the Early Samples. Finally, we describe the proposed acceptance tests for Engineering Samples.

Mechanical Samples

As stated in Chapter 0, Mechanical Samples are non-functional mechanical-only samples that are provided to Strategic Partners to evaluate mechanical considerations like size and fit on customer host cards. The Mechanical Sample shall meet the specification outlined in Section 4.4 of the Advanced Product Specifications. The following acceptance tests performed by the costumer are proposed:

Mechanical Dimensions

Check Length, Width and Height of the module.

Mounting Holes

Check dimensions, alignment and host card fit of mounting holes.

168 Pin Connector

Check attachment to the 168 pin Hirose connector.

Location of Fiber Boots

Early Samples

As stated in Chapter 0, Early Samples have undergone cursory functional tests in Acacia’s test lab. They are provided to Strategic Partners early in the product development phase to enable system bring-up at ambient room temperature with adequate airflow, and to provide early engineering feedback to Acacia. Complete functional testing and qualification has not been performed on the Early Samples.

Page 35

Since full functional tests have not been completed, Acacia cannot assure that Early Samples meet all specifications defined in Acacia’s Advanced Product Specification. For this reason there are no strict acceptance tests for Early Samples. However, Acacia assures Early Samples are functional and will transmit and receive data. A set of proposed tests for Early Samples are given below:

Mechanical Design

Subsection 4.3.4 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in lieu thereof:

4.3.4 Acceptance of Purchase Order. Acacia shall accept and acknowledge in writing all Purchase Orders submitted by ADVA within [**] business days after receipt thereof. If such notification is not received by ADVA within this time the Purchase Orders are deemed accepted. Acacia may only reject a Purchase Order within this period if it is not in conformance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement or if Acacia submits a sufficiently documented supply chain interruption resulting in Lead Time increases that also affect other customers of Acacia for the same or similar components or products.

In the event Acacia is not able to meet the Delivery Date or quantities stated on the Purchase Order, Acacia shall notify ADVA within the [**] business days period of the cause of the delay, measures proposed or taken to prevent or minimize the delay as well as the timetable for implementing such measures, and provide a new Delivery Date which shall not exceed the contractually agreed Lead Time plus another [**] days, unless there is a documented supply chain disruption or force majeure condition in which case, if not otherwise mutually agreed between the Parties in writing, the new Delivery Date shall not exceed the contractually agreed Lead Time plus another [**] days after the supply chain disruption or force majeure condition has ended.

1.4

Section 4 of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following subsection:

4.3.11 Last Time Buy.

(a)

Upon notification by Acacia to not renew the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, ADVA shall have the right to, within [**] months from the last day on which Acacia may submit such notification prior to the then current term (“Last Time Buy Order Period”), place Last Time Buy Purchase Orders (“Last Time Buy Orders”) with Acacia for Products at the then existing contract prices, lead times, and other delivery obligations. Acacia will accept such Last Time Buy Orders. ADVA may place Last Time Buy Orders if at the time of placing the order a documented supply chain disruption or force majeure event exists with the understanding that the delivery will be limited or delayed due to such conditions pursuant to section 4.3.4.

(b)

ADVA shall place Last Time Buy Orders with a Delivery Date not to exceed [**] months from the ending date of the Last Time Buy Order Period. If during the Last Time Buy Order Period a documented supply chain disruption or force majeure condition occurs the Last Time Buy Order Period shall be extended by the time during which the disruption or condition prevents the delivery of ordered Products.

(c)

In the event Acacia does not fulfill accepted or deemed accepted Last Time Buy Orders, then Acacia shall transfer to ADVA those portions of Acacia’s Intellectual Property for Products which ADVA has procured from Acacia, up to and including the date where Last Time Buy Orders were not fulfilled, as long as ADVA becomes and then remains a beneficiary of the escrow agreement between Acacia and Iron Mountain. The escrow deposit materials contained in the escrow agreement shall provide all information and rights necessary to manufacture or have manufactured the Products to ensure that ADVA gets continued supply of the Products during the [**] month Last Time Buy Order Period plus the additional [**] month delivery

In connection with such transfer of Acacia’s Intellectual Property, Acacia shall and hereby grants ADVA a limited, non-exclusive license to such Intellectual Property for the sole purpose of enabling ADVA to make or have made the Products. Such license will contain no rights to make derivative products. The transfer of the Intellectual Property for the above specified period shall be guaranteed by the escrow agreement between Acacia and Iron Mountain. The Parties undertake to jointly work on the implementation of the beneficiary sign on and to provide the details of the escrow deposit materials and the Acacia processes to provide required deposited materials updates.

At its own costs, ADVA may, as beneficiary to the escrow agreement, request a level 2 escrow verification service from the escrow agent, Iron Mountain, which validates whether the relevant Products can be recreated from the documentation and files supplied in the escrow deposit, and provides the results and a complete list of the archived deposit materials to ADVA in order to allow ADVA to verify the archive for completeness and usability. Acacia shall remediate any discrepancies discovered by escrow agent or ADVA within [**] days after having been notified thereof and confirm in writing to ADVA at the end of this period that the discrepancies have been remediated.

(d)

For clarification purposes, the rights set forth in section 4.3.11 are independent from and in addition to the rights in section 4.3.10. Further, the events set forth in section 4.3.11 (a) shall not constitute a cancellation of open Purchase Orders nor shall they relieve Acacia from its obligation to immediately deliver to ADVA any Products owed under any Purchase Order made by ADVA, or in transit, prior to the receipt of the notification.

(e)

For all Product units subject to Last Time Buy Orders the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall be deemed fully applicable and enforceable, as if the Agreement were still in place, in spite of the Products being ordered or delivered after the expiration or termination of the Agreement.
