 Exhibit 10.36 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO 
 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “First Amendment”), is entered into as of March 26, 2012, by and between Opnext, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and Justin John O’Neill (“Executive”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement (as defined
below). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement,
dated as of August 23, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”), which sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment by the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive mutually desire to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth in this First Amendment. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Executive hereby
amend the Employment Agreement as follows, effective as of the date hereof: 
 1. Section 4 of the Employment Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
  

	 	“4.  Base Salary	$325,000 per annum, subject to increase from time to time as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion.”

 2. The first and second paragraphs of Section 10 of the Employment Agreement are hereby amended and
restated in their entirety as follows: 
 “Subject to the Payment Delay (as defined below), in the event that Executive
incurs a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a
“Separation from Service”) by reason of (a) a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or (b) Executive’s resignation for Good Reason (as defined below), Executive
shall be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits (collectively, the “Severance”): 
  

	 	(i)	The Company shall pay Executive as severance a lump-sum cash payment within thirty (30) days after the date of Executive’s Separation from Service an amount
equal to one (1.0) times the sum of (A) Executive’s then current annual base salary and (B) Executive’s target Annual Bonus set forth in Section 5 above (as may be increased) for the fiscal year of the Company in which
the date of such Separation from 

 Service occurs (in each case, without giving effect to any reduction in such base salary or
target Annual Bonus that constitutes Good Reason) (the “Severance Payment”); 
  

	 	(ii)	To the extent not previously vested and exercisable as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, any outstanding equity-based awards (including stock
options and other equity-based awards) held by Executive shall immediately vest and become exercisable in full; and 

  

	 	(iii)	During the period commencing on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary thereof (the
“Continuation Period”), the Company shall pay directly or reimburse Executive for premiums for continued group health insurance coverage for Executive and his eligible family members under the Company’s group health plans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if any plan pursuant to which the Company is providing such coverage is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the Continuation Period to be, exempt from the application of Code Section 409A under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (B) the Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Executive under its group health plans, then, in either case, an amount equal to the monthly plan premium payment shall thereafter be
paid to Executive as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the Continuation Period (or the remaining portion thereof). 

 Executive’s right to receive the Severance is conditioned on and subject to Executive’s execution within 21 days (or, to the extent required by applicable law, 45 days) following the date of
Executive’s Separation from Service and non-revocation by Executive of a general release of claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. For purposes of clarification, a termination of Executive’s employment by
reason of Executive’s death or Disability (as defined below) shall not be deemed to be a termination by the Company “without Cause” for purposes of this Agreement. 

The Severance Payment is intended to satisfy the short-term deferral exemption under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be made not later than the last day of the applicable two and one-half (2  1/2) month short-term deferral period with respect to such payment, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).” 

3. The second sentence of the fourth paragraph of Section 10 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

 4. The first paragraph of Section 11 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows: 
 “Subject to the Payment Delay, if a Change in Control occurs and Executive incurs a Separation from Service by
reason of (a) a termination of 

  
 2 

 
Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or (b) Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, in each case immediately prior to or upon the Change in Control, or within the
one (1) year period following the Change in Control, then Executive shall be entitled to the Severance, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10 (including, without limitation, the requirement that
Executive execute and not revoke the Release), except that for purposes of this Section 11: 
  

	 	(i)	In lieu of the Severance Payment set forth in Section 10, the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the sum of
(A) Executive’s then current annual base salary and (B) the greater of (x) Executive’s target Annual Bonus set forth in Section 5 above (as may be increased) for the fiscal year of the Company in which the date of
Executive’s Separation from Service occurs (in each case, without giving effect to any reduction in such base salary or target Annual Bonus that constitutes Good Reason) or (y) the average actual Annual Bonus awarded to Executive for the
two full fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which the date of Executive’s Separation from Service occurs; and 

  

	 	(ii)	In lieu of the Continuation Period set forth in Section 10, the Continuation Period shall be the period commencing on the date of Executive’s Separation from
Service and ending on the eighteen (18) month anniversary thereof.” 

 5. The following new
Section 20 of the Employment Agreement is hereby added immediately after Section 19 of the Employment Agreement: 
  

	 	“20.  Limitation	Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in on Payments the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive, whether
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement (all such payments and benefits being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”), would be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax
imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement,
the Total Payments shall be reduced as set forth herein, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax. The Total Payments shall be reduced by the Company in its reasonable discretion in the following
order: (A) reduction of any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting or payment with respect to any stock options that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, (B) reduction of any payments attributable to the
acceleration of vesting or payment with respect to any equity award (other than stock options) that is exempt from Section 409A of the 

  
 3 

 
Code, (C) reduction of any cash severance payments otherwise payable to Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, (D) reduction of any other cash payments or
benefits otherwise payable to Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and (E) reduction of any other payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with
Section 409A of the Code, in each case, (x) only to the least extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax, (y) in a manner that results in the best economic benefit to Executive, and (z) to the
extent economically equivalent, in a pro rata manner. 
 For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total
Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of
Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm (as defined below), does not constitute a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the
Accounting Firm, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base Amount (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such
reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and
(4) of the Code. 
 All determinations required to be made under this Section 20 will be made by an independent
nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) selected by Executive and reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Accounting Firm will be directed to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to
both Executive and the Company within fifteen (15) days after notification from either the Company or Executive that Executive may receive payments which may be “parachute payments.” Executive and the Company will each provide the
Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books, records, and documents in their possession as may be reasonably requested by the 

  
 4 

 
Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section 20. The
fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section 20 will be borne by the Company.” 

6. This First Amendment shall be and is hereby incorporated in and forms a part of the Employment Agreement. 

7. Except as amended and set forth herein, the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
