Article 3. ORDER PROCEDURES

(a)  UTSTARCOM shall place with SHARP monthly purchase orders in writing for the
     SUPPLY PARTS at least [*] before the [*] of the production month of the
     SUPPLY PARTS thereby ordered or at least [*] before the [*] of the month in
     which the SUPPLY PARTS are to be shipped from the relevant port(s) of
     shipment, whichever is applicable. By the [*] of each month, non-binding
     rolling forecasts for the SUPPLY PARTS order for the period of next [*]
     shall be given to Sharp by UTSTARCOM for Sharp's smooth arrangements of the
     SUPPLY PARTS. In case the relevant SUPPLY PARTS are to be manufactured

     increased by [*].

(b)  The quantity of each model of the SUPPLY PARTS to be ordered by each of

(c)  Such purchase orders shall be deemed only to be offers by UTSTARCOM to
     purchase the SUPPLY PARTS on and subject to the terms and conditions of
     this Agreement and such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in
     any SHARP price-list, estimate or other similar documents in effect at the
     date when UTSTARCOM's order is accepted.

(d)  SHARP may accept or reject the purchase orders submitted by UTSTARCOM. The
     acceptance by SHARP of such purchase orders shall be made only by execution
     and delivery by SHARP of the SALES CONTRACT (which form is designated by
     SHARP and is subject to revision made from time to time by SHARP at its
     sole discretion), thereupon such SALES CONTRACT shall be deemed to be the
     final and conclusive contract between the parties for the purchase and sale
     of the SUPPLY PARTS therein described. Immediately upon receipt by
     UTSTARCOM of the said SALES CONTRACT, UTSTARCOM shall sign and return to
     SHARP the duplicate copy of such SALES CONTRACT but failure of UTSTARCOM to
     do so shall not affect the validity of such SALES CONTRACT as provided
     hereinabove. It is specifically agreed, however, that if any export license
     or permission is required for the exportation of the SUPPLY PARTS the SALES
     CONTRACT shall come into effect only when such export license or permission
     shall have been obtained. UTSTARCOM agrees that due to delay in obtaining
     such license or permission the shipping date of the SUPPLY PARTS as set
     forth in the SALES CONTRACT may be delayed and that such delay shall not
     constitute a breach by SHARP of the SALES CONTRACT; provided, however, that
     SHARP will ship the SUPPLY PARTS as soon as practicable after the shipping
     date set forth in the SALES CONTRACT. In the event of any conflict or
     inconsistency between the terms and conditions

     of this Agreement and those of any SALES CONTRACT, the terms and conditions
     of this Agreement shall prevail with respect only to such conflicting or
     inconsistent provisions, except for such terms and conditions as may be
     typewritten on the face of such SALES CONTRACT.

Article 4. PURCHASE PRICE

All SUPPLY PARTS shall be sold to UTSTARCOM at the prices established or
confirmed by SHARP and in effect at the time when UTSTARCOM's purchase order is
accepted by SHARP. All prices for the sale of the SUPPLY PARTS under any SALES
CONTRACT shall be specified in Japanese yen.

Article 5. TERMS OF PAYMENT

(a)  At least [*] before the shipping date specified in the relevant SALES
     CONTRACT, UTSTARCOM shall establish, [*], with a leading and first class
     bank (such bank shall be changed at the request of SHARP to be made from
     time to time), an irrevocable and, if so requested by SHARP, confirmed
     letter of credit (not restricted, unless otherwise agreed upon) in full
     amount specified in the SALES CONTRACT in Japanese yen (unless otherwise
     agreed upon) in favour of SHARP available at [*] after the date of the bill
     of lading or air waybill for the shipment of Supply Parts to be drawn on
     the establishing bank (unless otherwise agreed upon). A confirming bank
     shall be a leading and first class international bank acceptable to SHARP
     and, unless otherwise agreed upon, be a bank other than the establishing
     bank of the letter of credit. Such letter of credit shall provide for
     partial shipments and shall remain valid for not less than [*] after the
     last day specified for shipment. In the event that the letter of credit is
     to be advised by facsimile, UTSTARCOM shall cause a written confirmation
     thereof to be air-mailed to SHARP via the advising bank. The said letter of
     credit shall also include stipulations to the following effect:

     In reimbursement to the negotiating bank by the establishing bank, priority
     shall be given to the "debit authorization method" by which the letter of
     credit shall have stipulated as a Reimbursement Instruction the following:

     "we authorize you to debit our account with you at maturity." If the
     foregoing method is not available for some inevitable reason(s), the
     "remittance method" will be acceptable, in which case settlement shall be
     made by Telegraphic Transfer.

     Transfer charge of letter of credit, payment commission, acceptance
     commission, confirming

     charge, reimbursement charge, advising charge and amendment charge, if any,
     shall be for the account of UTSTARCOM.

(b)  If UTSTARCOM fails to provide such letter of credit as prescribed in
     paragraph (a) above, SHARP may at its option postpone the time for shipment
     of the SUPPLY PARTS then unshipped or cancel any SALES CONTRACT and resell
     the involved SUPPLY PARTS without incurring any liability to UTSTARCOM on
     the part of SHARP. UTSTARCOM shall be responsible for any loss or damage to
     SHARP caused by such postponement or cancellation or failure to establish
     such letter of credit as provided above.

Article 6. INSPECTION

The SUPPLY PARTS shall be inspected before the shipment thereof by SHARP at its
relevant factory whether in Japan or elsewhere. The inspection executed pursuant
to the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to be final and conclusive in
respect of the quantity, quality, performance and other conditions of the SUPPLY
PARTS and SHARP shall be under no liability or obligation (including incidental
loss, products liability or other consequential loss) whatsoever except for
those specifically provided in Article 8 hereof, for any defect in quality or
performance or shortage in quantity of the SUPPLY PARTS which have passed such
inspection. UTSTARCOM shall not be entitled to reject such inspected SUPPLY
PARTS nor to claim any refund of the purchase price nor to suspend the due and
punctual performance of its obligations hereunder or under the relevant SALES
CONTRACT.

Article 7. SHIPMENT

(a)  Unless otherwise agreed, shipment shall be effected [*] at any Japanese or
     foreign port(s) in one shipment or in installments by any carrier of any
     flag subject to the carrier's space being available. The quantity of each
     shipping lot of the SUPPLY PARTS shall be from time to time determined by
     SHARP.

(b)  The date of Bill of Lading or of similar document(s) shall be deemed to be
     conclusive evidence of the date of such shipment.

Article 8. REMEDY FOR INCOMPLETE SUPPLY OF THE SUPPLY PARTS

(a)  In the event that after inspection executed pursuant to Article 6 hereof
     any defect in quality

     the SUPPLY PARTS, and;

     (i)  UTSTARCOM shall have notified SHARP in writing to the foregoing effect
          in reasonable detail within [*] after the date of the arrival of the
          relevant SUPPLY PARTS at the destination specified in the relative
          Bill of Lading, accompanied by documentary evidence satisfactory to
          SHARP showing that such defect or shortage in quantity is the result
          of faulty workmanship or mistake on the part of SHARP, or that such
          defect or shortage in quantity arises from any cause for which SHARP
          is responsible; and

     (ii) UTSTARCOM shall have submitted to SHARP a survey report issued by
          first-class sworn authorized surveyor(s) satisfactory to SHARP as well
          as the report on form established by SHARP for the purpose of
          verification by SHARP or SHARP's representative at EASTCOM's factory,
          within [*] after the request of SHARP so to submit; and

    (iii) the DEFECTIVE PARTS shall have been held by HUTS being retained
          intact for SHARP's inspection for a period of [*] after the
          notification made by UTSTARCOM pursuant to condition (i) above or
          until UTSTARCOM shall have received instructions from SHARP permitting
          UTSTARCOM and/or HUTS to dispose of such DEFECTIVE PARTS, whichever is
          the earlier; and

    (/ /) UTSTARCOM shall have returned the DEFECTIVE PARTS to SHARP, subject
          to the instruction of SHARP set forth in condition (iii) above; and

          of the shortage in any individual component, contained in the shipping
          lot of the SUPPLY PARTS which shall have satisfied the foregoing
          conditions (i) through (iv) shall exceed [*] of the total quantity of
          any such individual component contained in each such shipping lot of
          the SUPPLY PARTS;

Then, SHARP shall, as soon as possible after satisfaction of the foregoing
conditions (i) through (v), provide UTSTARCOM free of charge with the
replacement parts or supplementary parts of the relevant SUPPLY PARTS in such
quantity which shall be the balance of the sum set forth in condition (v) above
minus [*] of the total quantity of such individual component contained in such
shipping lot of the SUPPLY PARTS. SHARP shall bear the ocean transportation
charges required for its provision of aforementioned parts.

<PAGE>

(b)  In the event that UTSTARCOM and/or HUTS fail to satisfy any of the
     conditions (i) through (v) above in accordance therewith, UTSTARCOM shall
     be deemed to have waived all its claims in respect to any defect or
     shortage in quantity of such shipping lot of the SUPPLY PARTS.

(c)  SHARP agrees to pay the transportation charges reasonably incurred by
     UTSTARCOM in respect of sending back the DEFECTIVE PARTS to SHARP pursuant
     to paragraph (a) of this Article. Such payment shall be made by SHARP
     without delay after the conditions (i) through (v) set forth in paragraph
     (a) above shall have been satisfied.

Article 9. STOCK OF SPARE PARTS

(a)  In order to satisfy the orders from UTSTARCOM for repair and replacement
     parts or their interchangeable parts, as the case may be, which shall be
     necessary for HUTS's after-sales service of the PRODUCTS. SHARP shall be

     for the period commencing with the date of the latest shipment of the
     relevant SUPPLY PARTS hereunder and ending on such date after the said
     shipment as SHARP deems it reasonable. SHARP may and, if requested by
     UTSTARCOM in writing, shall from time to time designate at its sole
     discretion the length of such period and notify UTSTARCOM of such period.
     UTSTARCOM shall, at least [*] before the termination of such designated
     period, place with SHARP the last order for purchasing such parts for the
     PRODUCTS as may be required for the after-sales service of the relevant
     PRODUCTS during the rest of the life of such relevant PRODUCTS. In the
     event that UTSTARCOM fails to place orders for purchasing such parts with
     SHARP by the time-limit stated above, SHARP's obligations to supply such
     parts under this Article shall cease without any compensation or remedy
     whatsoever to UTSTARCOM.

(b)  In case SHARP determines the discontinuance of any equivalent model to the
     PRODUCTS which results in SHARP's inability to supply the SUPPLY PARTS for
     that model, SHARP shall, at least [*] before the date from which the supply
     of such SUPPLY PARTS becomes unavailable notify UTSTARCOM of such date and
     model of the PRODUCTS. UTSTARCOM shall, within [*] of such notification,
     place with SHARP the last order for purchasing such parts for the PRODUCTS
     as may be required for the after-sales service of the relevant PRODUCTS
     during the rest of the life of the relevant PRODUCTS. Notwithstanding
     anything to the contrary contained herein or in paragraph(b) of this
     Article, in the event that UTSTARCOM fails to place with SHARP orders for
     purchasing any parts of the model of the PRODUCTS in respect of which the
     manufacture is to be discontinued as aforesaid by the time-limit stated
     above, SHARP's obligations to supply such parts shall

TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     cease without any compensation or remedy whatsoever to UTSTARCOM.

(c)  Purchase and supply of the parts set forth in paragraphs(b) and (c) of this
     Article shall, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties hereto, be made
     in compliance with the relevant terms and conditions of this Agreement,
     provided, however, that SHARP may not reject such orders to the extent that
     the assortment and quantity of such parts are then available to be supplied
     by SHARP.

(d)  If SHARP deems it necessary or advisable to provide technical information
     to UTSTARCOM for assembly and manufacture of the PRODUCTS by using the
     SUPPLY PARTS or for after-sales service, sales promotion or the like of the
     PRODUCTS, SHARP will do so after consultation with UTSTARCOM subject always
     to any necessary license requirements or permission of relevant government
     authorities.

renewed hereafter on a [*] basis, unless either of the parties hereto gives to
the other party at least [*] prior written notice to terminate this Agreement

     SHARP or UTSTARCOM (including HUTS and/or EASTCOM, as the case may be, for
     the purpose of this Article), the other party may forthwith terminate this
     Agreement by sending a written notice to the first party by registered
     airmail:

     (i)  If either party continues in default of any material obligation
          imposed on it herein, in any SALES CONTRACT or any other agreement

          remedy such default;

     (ii) If either party hereto is subjected to compulsory execution, public
          auction, coercive collection for its arrearage of taxes or public

          creditors or if either party hereto becomes unable to pay debts, or if
          either party is declared in default of any material contract between
          it and any third party and any such contract is cancelled or its
          payment obligation under such contract is accelerated (All the
          foregoing shall include the likeliness of each occurrence in the
          reasonable opinion of the other party);

    (iii) If, due to any substantial change in ownership, management or
          effective control of either party or in the objects of the company
          stated in the Memorandum of Association or Articles of Incorporation

          confidential information.

(b)  Except as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement any

     agreement made pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any
     SALES CONTRACT, or in the event that this Agreement or SALES CONTRACT is

     Party") may demand compensation from the first party for the losses,
     damages, incurred or sustained by the Affected Party as a result of any
     such default, termination or cancellation.

     The foregoing provisions of this Article shall not prejudice the right of
     the Affected Party to extend the time for performance of any of its
     obligations hereunder or under any SALES CONTRACT to the extent of the
     duration of such default of the other party or to cancel any SALES CONTRACT
     in respect of which the performance of any terms is then in default.

(b)  UTSTARCOM shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless SHARP from and against
     any and all actions, claims, demands, suits, losses, damages, costs,
     expenses and judgements (including attorney's fee thereof) by whomever

     non-delivery or destruction or deterioration, of all or any part of the
     SUPPLY PARTS or for any other default in performance under this Agreement
     or any SALES CONTRACT, which arises from any lockout, strike, labor trouble

     governmental authorities or industry or trade association of whatever
     nature to limit its export of the SUPPLY PARTS, fire, explosion,
     transportation difficulty, materials or labor shortage, SHARP's
     subcontractor's or supplier's suspension or inability of or delay in
     production or shipment of the SUPPLY PARTS, or from any cause beyond the
