Article IV 

SEPARATION TAXES, TRANSFER TAXES, TAX ITEMS AND TAX ASSETS 

4.1 Separation Taxes. 

(a) JDSU’s Liability for Separation Taxes. JDSU shall be liable for any Separation Taxes other than such
Taxes for which Holdings is liable under Section 4.1(b). 
 (b) Holdings’ Liability for Separation
Taxes. Holdings shall be liable for any Separation Taxes attributable to, caused by, or result from, one or more of the following: 

(i) any action or omission by Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate) after the Distribution at any time, that is inconsistent
with any material, information, covenant or representation related to Holdings, any Holdings Affiliate, or the Holdings Business in an Officer’s Certificate, Tax Opinion or Supplemental Tax Opinion; 

(ii) any action or omission by Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate), after the Distribution Date (including any act or omission
that is in furtherance of, connected to, or part of a plan or series of related transactions (within the meaning of section 355(e) of the Code) occurring on or prior to the Distribution Date) including a cessation, transfer to affiliates or
disposition of the Active Trade or Business, stock buyback or payment of an extraordinary dividend; 
 (iii) any acquisition
of any stock or assets of Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate) by one or more other persons (other than JDSU or any JDSU Affiliate) following the Distribution; 

(iv) any issuance of stock by Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate) after the Distribution, including any issuance pursuant to
the exercise of employee stock options or other employment related arrangements or the exercise of warrants, or change in ownership of stock in Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate) after the Distribution; 

(v) any action or omission by Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate) in breach of the covenants set forth herein, or in the
Separation and Distribution Agreement. 
 (c) Representations. Each of JDSU and Holdings represents that, as of the
date of this Agreement, neither it nor its Affiliates know of any fact that may cause the Separation and Distribution to fail to qualify under section 355 or section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. Each of JDSU and Holdings further represents that
(A) it has examined the Tax Opinion and Officer’s Certificates prior to the date hereof and (B) subject to any qualifications therein, all facts contained in such Tax Opinion or Officer’s Certificates that concern or relate to
such JDSU, Holdings or any member of its Group is and, to the extent such facts relate to future events or circumstances, will be, true, correct and complete. 

4.2 Continuing Covenants. 

  
 10 








 (a) In General. Each of JDSU (for itself and each JDSU Affiliate) and
Holdings (for itself and each Holdings Affiliate) agrees (1) not to take any action reasonably expected to result in an increased Tax liability to the other, a reduction in a Tax Asset of the other or an increased liability to the other under
this Agreement, and (2) to take any action reasonably requested by the other that would reasonably be expected to result in a Tax Benefit or avoid a Tax Detriment to the other, provided, in either such case, that the taking or refraining to
take such action does not result in any additional cost not fully compensated for by the other party or any other adverse effect to such party. The parties hereby acknowledge that the preceding sentence is not intended to limit, and therefore shall
not apply to, the rights of the parties with respect to matters otherwise covered by this Agreement. 
 (b) Holdings
Restrictions. Holdings agrees that it will not knowingly take or fail to take, or permit any Holdings Affiliate to knowingly take or fail to take, any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with any material,
information, covenant or representation that relates to facts or matters related to Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate) or within the control of Holdings and is contained in an Officer’s Certificate, Tax Opinion or Supplemental Tax Opinion
(except where such material, information, covenant or representation was not previously disclosed to Holdings) other than as permitted in this Section 4.2. For this purpose an action is considered inconsistent with a representation if
the representation states that there is no plan or intention to take such action. Holdings agrees that it will not take (and it will cause the Holdings Affiliates to refrain from taking) any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with the
treatment of the Separation and Distribution as transactions in which no income, gain, or loss is recognized pursuant to sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. 

(c) Certain Holdings Actions Following the Distribution. Holdings agrees that, during the two (2) year period
following the Distribution, without first obtaining, at Holdings’ own expense, a private letter ruling (a “PLR”) from the IRS or supplemental opinion from Tax Adviser that such action will not result in Separation Taxes
(a “Supplemental Tax Opinion”), unless JDSU and Holdings agree otherwise in writing, Holdings shall not (1) sell all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate , (2) merge Holdings, or
any Holdings Affiliate with another entity, without regard to which party is the surviving entity (other than a merger with another entity within the Holdings Group), (3) transfer any assets of Holdings or Holdings Affiliate in a transaction
described in section 351of the Code (other than a transfer to a corporation which files a consolidated return with Holdings and which is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Holdings) or subparagraph (C) or (D) of section 368(a)(1) of
the Code, (4) issue stock of Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate (or any instrument that is convertible or exchangeable into any such stock) in an acquisition or public or private offering (excluding any issuance pursuant to the exercise of
employee stock options or other employment related arrangements having customary terms and conditions and that satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations section 1.355-7(d)(8), or any successor provision thereto), or (5) facilitate or
otherwise participate in any acquisition of stock in Holdings that would result in any shareholder owning five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding stock of Holdings. Holdings (or any Holdings Affiliate) shall only undertake any of such
actions after JDSU’s receipt of such Supplemental Tax Opinion and pursuant to the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Tax Opinion or as otherwise consented to in writing in advance by JDSU; provided,
however, that if Holdings contemplates entering into a transaction described in this section and Holdings acknowledges in writing that it would have sole liability for any Separation Taxes under Section 4.1(b) that might arise
from such transaction and can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of JDSU that it can satisfy its liability for any such Separation Taxes, JDSU shall consent to Holdings’ entering into such transaction without further restriction; and
provided, further, that in the event that JDSU completes a transaction that results in a tax being imposed on JDSU under Section 355(e) of the Code, after such completion, Holdings shall no longer be subject to the restrictions
under clause (4) and clause (5) of the previous sentence. The Parties hereby agree that they will act in good faith to take all reasonable steps necessary to amend this Section 4.2(c), from time to time, by mutual agreement, to
(i) add certain actions to the list contained herein, or (ii) remove certain actions from the list contained herein, in either case, in order to reflect any relevant change in law, regulation or administrative interpretation occurring
after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 11 








 (d) Notice of Specified Transactions. Not later than three (3) days
after the public announcement regarding any of the transactions described in Section 4.2(c) (including a public announcement regarding Holdings’ intent to enter into any such transaction) Holdings shall provide written notice of
such transaction to JDSU. 
 4.3 Transfer Taxes. JDSU and Holdings each shall be responsible for any Transfer Taxes
incurred by the JDSU Group and the Holdings Group, respectively, as a result of the Contribution. If, under applicable Law, both the JDSU Group and the Holdings Group are liable for Transfer Taxes resulting from the Contribution, then JDSU and
Holdings shall be equally responsible for such Transfer Taxes. 
 4.4 Allocation of Tax Items. All Tax computations for
(1) any Pre-Distribution Periods ending on the Distribution Date and (2) the immediately following taxable period of Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate, shall be made pursuant to the principles of section 1.1502-76(b) of the Treasury
Regulations or of a corresponding provision under the laws of other jurisdictions, as reasonably determined by JDSU, taking into account all reasonable suggestions made by Holdings with respect thereto. Any Tax Items relating to the Separation and
Distribution shall be treated, to the extent permitted, as extraordinary items described in section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(C) of the Treasury Regulations and shall (to the extent occurring on or prior to the Distribution Date) be allocated to Pre-
Distribution Periods, and any Taxes related to such items shall be treated under section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations as relating to such extraordinary item and shall (to the extent occurring on or prior to the Distribution Date)
be allocated to Pre-Distribution Periods. 
 4.5 Allocation of Tax Assets. 

(a) In General. In connection with the Distribution, JDSU and Holdings have set forth on SCHEDULE
4.5(A) the Tax Assets allocated to JDSU and Holdings, and each of JDSU and Holdings agrees that each shall prepare all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such allocation, unless otherwise required by law. The parties hereby
agree that to the extent that Tax Assets are not shown in SCHEDULE 4.5(A), such Tax Assets were incurred by JDSU and shall remain with JDSU. 

(b) Earnings and Profits. JDSU will advise Holdings in writing of the decrease in JDSU earnings and profits attributable
to the Distribution under section 312(h) of the Code on or before the first anniversary of the Distribution Date; provided, however, that JDSU shall provide Holdings with estimates of such amounts (determined in accordance with past
practice) prior to such anniversary as reasonably requested by Holdings. 
 Article V 

EMPLOYEE WAGES 
 At
JDSU’s request, the Holdings Group shall assume the Form W-2 and Form W-3 reporting obligations (including the filing of all forms necessary to comply with magnetic media reporting requirements) of JDSU with respect to any employee of the
Holdings Business that Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate employs during the calendar year which includes the Distribution Date consistent with the procedures set forth in section 5 of Rev. Proc. 2004-53, 2004-34 I.R.B. 320.

Affiliate, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless from and against any and all Taxes for which JDSU or any JDSU Affiliate is liable under this Agreement and any loss, cost, damage or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, that is attributable to, or results from, the failure of JDSU, any JDSU Affiliate or any director, officer or employee to make any payment required to be made under this Agreement. Holdings and each member
of the Holdings Group shall jointly and severally indemnify JDSU, each JDSU Affiliate, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless from and against any and all Taxes for which Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate is

make any payment required to be made under this Agreement. 
 6.2 Inaccurate or Incomplete Information. JDSU and each
member of the JDSU Group shall jointly and severally indemnify Holdings, each Holdings Affiliate, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless from and against any cost, fine, penalty, or other expense of any kind
attributable to the failure of JDSU or any JDSU Affiliate in supplying Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate with inaccurate or incomplete information, in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return. Holdings and each member of the Holdings Group
shall jointly and severally indemnify JDSU, each JDSU Affiliate, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless from and against any cost, fine, penalty, or other expenses of any kind attributable to the failure of
Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate in supplying JDSU or any JDSU Affiliate with inaccurate or incomplete information, in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return. 

6.3 No Indemnification for Tax Items. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of the existence or
amount of any loss, credit, carryforward, basis or other Tax Item, whether past, present or future, of JDSU, any JDSU Affiliate, Holdings or any Holdings Affiliate. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining any amount owed
between the parties hereto, all such determinations shall be made without regard to any financial accounting tax asset or liability or other financial accounting items. 

Article VII 

PAYMENTS 

7.1 Estimated Tax Payments. Not later than ten (10) business days after each Estimated Tax Installment Date with
respect to a taxable period for which a Consolidated Return or a Combined Return that includes a Holdings Separate Tax Amount will be filed, Holdings shall pay to JDSU on behalf of the Holdings Group an amount equal to the amount of any estimated
Holdings Separate Tax Amount. 
 7.2 True-Up Payments. Not later than ten (10) business days after filing a Tax
Return, Holdings shall pay to JDSU, or JDSU shall pay to Holdings, as appropriate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Holdings Separate Tax Amount and the aggregate amount paid by Holdings with respect to such period under
Section 7.1. 

  
 13 








 7.3 Redetermination Amounts. In the event of a redetermination of any Tax
Item reflected on any Consolidated Return or Combined Return (other than Tax Items relating to Separation Taxes), as a result of a refund of Taxes paid, a Final Determination or any settlement or compromise with any Taxing Authority which in any
such case would affect the Holdings Separate Tax Amount, JDSU shall prepare a revised pro forma Tax Return in accordance with Section 2.4(b) for the relevant taxable period reflecting the redetermination of such Tax Item as a result of
such refund, Final Determination, settlement or compromise. Holdings shall pay to JDSU, or JDSU shall pay to Holdings, as appropriate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Holdings Separate Tax Amount reflected on such revised pro
forma Tax Return and the Holdings Separate Tax Amount for such period as originally computed pursuant to this Agreement. 
 7.4
Payments of Refunds and Credits. If one party receives a refund or credit of any Tax to which the other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.4, the party receiving such refund or credit shall pay to the other party the
amount of such refund or credit pursuant to Section 7.5. 
 7.5 Payments Under This Agreement. In the event that
one party (the “Owing Party”) is required to make a payment to another party (the “Owed Party”) pursuant to this Agreement, then such payments shall be made according to this Section 7.5. 

(a) In General. All payments shall be made to the Owed Party or to the appropriate Taxing Authority as specified by the
Owed Party within the time prescribed for payment in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, within ten (10) days after delivery of written notice of payment owing together with a computation of the amounts due. 

(b) Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination, the parties agree that any payments made
by one party to another party pursuant to this Agreement (other than (i) payments for the Holdings Separate Tax Amount for the Post-Distribution Period, (ii) payments of After Tax Amounts pursuant to Section 7.5(d), and
(iii) payments of interest pursuant to Section 7.5(e)) shall be treated for all Tax purposes as nontaxable payments (dividend distributions or capital contributions, as the case may be) made immediately prior to the Distribution
and, accordingly, as not includible in the taxable income of the recipient or as deductible by the payor. 
 (c) Prompt
Performance. All actions required to be taken (including payments) by any party under this Agreement shall be performed within the time prescribed for performance in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, such actions shall be
performed promptly. 
 (d) After Tax Amounts. If pursuant to a Final Determination it is determined that the receipt or
accrual of any payment made under this Agreement (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 7.5(e)) is subject to any Tax, the party making such payment shall be liable for (a) the After Tax Amount with respect to such
payment and (b) interest at the rate described in Section 7.5(e) on the amount of such Tax from the date such Tax accrues through the date of payment of such After Tax Amount. A party making a demand for a payment pursuant to this
Agreement and for a payment of an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment shall separately specify and compute such After Tax Amount. However, a party may choose not to specify an After Tax Amount in a demand for payment pursuant to this
Agreement without thereby being deemed to have waived its right subsequently to demand an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment. 

(e) Interest. Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made within the period prescribed in this Agreement (the
“Payment Period”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the last date of the Payment Period through and including the date of payment at a per annum rate equal to the applicable
rate under Section 6621 of the Code. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days for
which due.

 Article VIII 

TAX PROCEEDINGS 

8.1 In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the party responsible for preparing and filing a Tax
Return pursuant to Article II (the “Filing Party”) shall have the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to control, contest, and represent the interests of JDSU, any JDSU Affiliate, Holdings, and/or any Holdings
Affiliate in any Audit relating to such Tax Return and to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Audit; provided, however, that for purposes of
this Section 8, Holdings shall be treated as the Filing Party for all Tax Returns of foreign Holdings Affiliates. The Filing Party’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of an Audit, including
execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax Item. Any costs incurred in handling, settling, or contesting an Audit shall be borne by the Filing Party. 

8.2 Participation of non-Filing Party. Except as provided in Section 8.4, the non-Filing Party shall, at its
own expense, have control over decisions to resolve, settle or otherwise agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment with respect to any Sole Responsibility Item. 

8.3 Notice. Within ten (10) days after a party receives written notice of a proposed Audit adjustment that may give
rise to an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, such party shall give notice to the other party of such issue (such notice shall contain factual information, to the extent known, describing any asserted tax liability in reasonable
detail), and shall forward to the other party copies of all notices and material communications with any Taxing Authority relating to such issue. Notwithstanding any provision in Section 9.12 to the contrary, if a party to this Agreement
fails to provide the other party notice as required by this Section 8.3, and the failure results in a detriment to the other party then any amount which the other party is otherwise required to pay pursuant to this Agreement shall be
reduced by the amount of such detriment. 
 8.4 Control of Separation Tax Proceedings. JDSU shall have the exclusive
right, in its sole discretion, to control, contest, and represent the interests of JDSU, any JDSU Affiliate, Holdings, and/or any Holdings Affiliate in any Audits relating to Separation Taxes and to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim
or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Audit. JDSU’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of such Audit, including execution of waivers, choice of forum,
scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax Item. Holdings may assume sole control of any Audits relating to Separation Taxes if it acknowledges in writing that it has sole liability for any Separation Taxes under
Section 4.1(b) that might arise in such Audit and can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of JDSU that it can satisfy its liability for any such Separation Taxes. If Holdings is unable to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction
of JDSU that it will be able to satisfy its liability for such Separation Taxes, but acknowledges in writing that it has sole liability for any Separation Taxes under Section 4.1(b), Holdings and JDSU shall have joint control over the
Audit.

initial date thereof) and delivered in person, by mail or by courier. 
 9.2 Cooperation and Separation of Information.

 (a) Cooperation. Holdings and JDSU shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective affiliates to
cooperate fully) with all reasonable requests from another party for information and materials not otherwise available to the requesting party in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, claims for refund, and Audits concerning

limitations), shall provide 

  
 16 








 
written notice to the other party describing the documentation proposed to be destroyed or disposed of sixty (60) business days prior to taking such action. The other party may arrange to

(a) General Provisions. All communications between the parties or their representatives in connection with the attempted
resolution of any Dispute shall be deemed to have been delivered in furtherance of a Dispute settlement and shall be exempt from discovery and production, and shall not be admissible into evidence for any reason (whether as an admission or
otherwise), in any arbitral or other proceeding for the resolution of any Dispute. 
 WITH RESPECT
TO ANY DISPUTE TO WHICH THIS SECTION 9.3 APPLIES OR OTHERWISE IN
RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY
RIGHT TO EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, REMOTE, SPECULATIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED
AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), WHETHER OR NOT
SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES
(PROVIDED THAT LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO
ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM AND ANY STATUTORY PENALTIES UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES). 
 The specific procedures set forth in this
Section 9.3, including the time limits referenced therein, may be modified by agreement of both of the parties in writing. All applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the
procedures specified in this Section 9.3 are pending. The parties will take any necessary or appropriate action required to effectuate such tolling. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties will continue to provide service and
honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of resolution of a Dispute pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.3 with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute. 

(b) Consideration by Senior Executives. If a Dispute is not resolved in the normal course of business at the operational
level, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute by negotiation among representatives of the parties at a senior level of management of the parties. Either party may initiate such executive negotiation process by providing a
written notice to the other (the “Initial Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Initial Notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response (the “Response”).
The Initial Notice and the Response shall include (i) a statement of the Dispute and of each party’s position and (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and of any other Person who will accompany the
executive. The parties agree that such executives shall have full and complete authority to resolve any Disputes submitted pursuant to this section (or paragraph). Such executives will meet in person or by teleconference or video conference within
sixty (60) days of the date of the Initial Notice to seek a resolution of the Dispute. In the event that the executives are unable to agree to a format for such meeting, the meeting shall be convened by teleconference. In the event that the
executives are unable to resolve such Dispute within ninety (90) days of the date of the Initial Notice, the parties may seek any and all other remedies as may be available to them at law or equity. 

(c) Mediation. The parties may, by mutual consent, select a mediator to aid the parties in their discussions and
negotiations. Any opinion expressed by the mediator shall be strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the parties, nor shall any opinion expressed by the mediator be 

  
 17 








 
admissible in any arbitration proceeding. Each party shall bear its own fees, costs and expenses and an equal share of the expenses of the mediation. Each party shall designate a business
executive to have full and complete authority to resolve the Dispute and to represent its interests in the mediation, and each party may, in its sole discretion, include any number of other Representatives in the mediation process. 

9.4 Confidentiality. The parties shall comply with the confidentiality provisions in Section 5.4 of the
SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT. 
 9.5
Setoff. All payments to be made by any party under this Agreement may be netted against payments due to such party under this Agreement, but otherwise shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or withholding, all of which are hereby
expressly waived.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. 
 (b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably
(i) agrees that any Dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, (ii) waives any claims of forum non conveniens, and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such
courts and (iii) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in Section 9.10 shall be effective service of process for any litigation brought against it
in any such court or for the taking of any other acts as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate any judgment of said courts. 

9.7 Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the covenants and other agreements contained
in this Agreement, and liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein or therein, shall survive the Distribution. 

9.8 Waivers of Default. A waiver by a party of any default by the other 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. 
 9.9 Force Majeure. No party (or any
Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is
prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) notify the other
parties of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as feasible. 

9.10 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by facsimile or electronic transmission with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an original
via overnight courier service) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in

abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution Effective Time by and in the sole discretion of JDSU without the prior approval of any Person, including Holdings. In the event of such termination, this Agreement shall become void and no party, or

 19 








 (b) If, due to any change in applicable law or regulations or their interpretation
by any court of law or other governing body having jurisdiction subsequent to the date of this Agreement, performance of any provision of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated thereby shall become impracticable or impossible, the parties
hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision. 

9.13 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced
under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced,
the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated
as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 
 9.14 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the
parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
 9.15 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement shall not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that a party may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with a sale or disposition of any assets or
entities or lines of business of such party or in connection with a merger transaction in which such party is not the surviving entity; provided, however, that, in each case, no such assignment shall release such party from any
liability or obligation under this Agreement nor change any of the steps in this Agreement, and the surviving entity of any merger or the transferee of such assets or businesses shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if
named as a party hereto. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights under this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the parties and their respective successors and
permitted transferees and assigns. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted 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 whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 9.16
Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be
cumulative. The parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, may be inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the parties. 

9.17 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by each
of the parties to this Agreement.
