1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN

 EXHIBIT 10.2 
 MERCURY COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INC. 
 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN 
  

	 	1.	 	PURPOSE OF THE PLAN. 

  
 This stock option plan (the “Plan”) is intended to encourage ownership of the stock of Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (the “Company”)
by employees and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, to induce qualified personnel to enter and remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries and otherwise to provide additional incentive for optionees to promote the success of
its business. 
  

	 	2.	 	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. 

  
 (a) The maximum number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) for which options or shares of
restricted stock may be granted under this Plan shall be seven million six hundred fifty thousand (7,650,000) shares, provided that not more than 100,000 shares shall be issued in the form of restricted stock. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock available for granting incentive stock options under this Plan shall be seven million six hundred fifty thousand (7,650,000) shares. These limitations and all other limitations on the number of shares referenced in this Plan shall be subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 12 of the Plan. Shares issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. 
  
 (b) If an option or restricted stock award granted hereunder is forfeited,
canceled, reacquired by the Company, satisfied without the issuance of shares of Common Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), the shares of Common Stock subject thereto shall again be available for subsequent option or restricted
stock award grants under the Plan. 
  
 (c) Stock issuable upon
exercise of an option granted under the Plan or the grant of a restricted stock award may be subject to such restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights or other restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee. 
  

	 	3.	 	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. 

  
 The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the “Committee”) consisting of two or more members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The
selection of persons for participation in the Plan and all decisions concerning the timing, pricing and amount of any grant or award under the Plan shall be made solely by the Committee. The Board of Directors may from time to time appoint a member
or members of the Committee in substitution for or in addition to the member or members then in office and may fill vacancies on the Committee however caused. The Committee shall choose one of its members as Chairman and shall hold meetings at such
times and places as it shall deem advisable. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum and any action may be taken by a majority of those present and voting at any 

 
meeting. Any action may also be taken without the necessity of a meeting by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Committee. The decision of the
Committee as to all questions of interpretation and application of the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion, may
be advisable in the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any option or restricted stock agreement granted hereunder in the manner and to the extent
it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. No Committee member shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith. 
  

	 	4.	 	TYPE OF OPTIONS. 

  
 Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be authorized by action of the Committee and may be designated as either incentive stock options meeting the
requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or non-qualified options which are not intended to meet the requirements of such Section 422 of the Code, the designation to be in the sole
discretion of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee in such manner as to permit options to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code. 
  

	 	5.	 	ELIGIBILITY. 

  
 Options designated as incentive stock options shall be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company and any of its subsidiaries. Options designated as
non-qualified options may be granted to officers, directors, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries. “Subsidiary” or “subsidiaries” shall be as defined in Section 424 of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”) and shall include present and future subsidiaries. 
  
 The Committee shall, from time to time, at its sole discretion, select from such eligible individuals those to whom options shall be granted and shall
determine the number of shares to be subject to each option. In determining the eligibility of an individual to be granted an option, as well as in determining the number of shares to be granted to any individual, the Committee in its sole
discretion shall take into account the position and responsibilities of the individual being considered, the nature and value to the Company or its subsidiaries of his or her service and accomplishments, his or her present and potential contribution
to the success of the Company or its subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Committee may deem relevant. 
  
 No option designated as an incentive stock option shall be granted to any employee of the Company or any subsidiary if such employee owns, immediately
prior to the grant of an option, stock representing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a parent or a subsidiary, unless the purchase price for the stock under such option shall be at least 110% of
its fair market value at the time such option is granted and the option, by its terms, shall not be exercisable more than five years from the date it is granted. In determining the stock ownership under this paragraph, the provisions of Section
424(d) of the Code shall be controlling. In determining the fair market value under this paragraph, the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall apply. 
  

 2 

 The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock with respect to which an option or
options may be granted to any employee in any one taxable year of the Company shall not exceed 200,000 shares, taking into account shares granted during such taxable year under options that are terminated or repriced. 
  

	 	6.	 	OPTION AGREEMENT. 

  
 (a) Each option shall be evidenced by an option agreement (the “Agreement”) duly executed on behalf of the Company and by the optionee to whom
such option is granted, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by
the Committee, provided that options designated as incentive stock options shall meet all of the conditions for incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code. The date of grant of an option shall be as determined by the Committee.
More than one option may be granted to an individual. 
  
 (b)
Unless the Agreement specifies otherwise, the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any option (whether vested or unvested, exercised or unexercised) at any time if the optionee is not in compliance with all
applicable provisions of the Agreement and the Plan, or if the optionee engages in any “Detrimental Activity.” For purposes of this Section 6, “Detrimental Activity” shall include: (i) the rendering of services for any
organization or engaging directly or indirectly in any business which is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which organization or business, or the rendering of services to such organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial
to or in conflict with the interests of the Company; (ii) the disclosure to anyone outside the Company, or the use in other than the Company’s business, without prior written authorization from the Company, of any confidential information or
material, as defined in the Company’s Employee Confidentiality Agreement or such other agreement regarding confidential information and intellectual property that the optionee and the Company may enter into (collectively, the
“Confidentiality Agreement”), relating to the business of the Company, acquired by the optionee either during or after employment with the Company; (iii) the failure or refusal to disclose promptly and to assign to the Company, pursuant to
the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise, all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the optionee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business,
research or development work of the Company or the failure or refusal to do anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in other countries; (iv) activity that results in
termination of the optionee’s employment for cause; (v) a material violation of any rules, policies, procedures or guidelines of the Company; (vi) any attempt directly or indirectly to induce any employee of the Company to be employed or
perform services elsewhere or any attempt directly or indirectly to solicit the trade or business of any current or prospective customer, supplier or partner of the Company; or (vii) the optionee being convicted of, or entering a guilty plea with
respect to, a crime, whether or not connected with the Company. 
  
 (c) Upon exercise, payment, or delivery pursuant to an option, the optionee shall certify in a manner acceptable to the Company that he or she is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event an optionee engages in
any Detrimental Activity 

  

 3 

 
as set forth in paragraphs (b)(i)-(vii) of this Section 6 prior to, or during the six (6) months after, any exercise, payment, or delivery pursuant to an
option, such exercise, payment, or delivery may be rescinded by the Company within two (2) years thereafter. In the event of any such rescission, the optionee shall pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result
of the rescinded exercise, payment, or delivery, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required, and the Company shall also be entitled to set-off against the amount of any such gain any amount owed to the optionee by the
Company, and to be reimbursed for any attorney’s fees or other costs or expenses incurred in enforcing this Section 6 of the Plan. 
  

	 	7.	 	OPTION PRICE. 

  
 The option price or prices of shares of the Company’s Common Stock for options designated as non-qualified stock options shall be determined by the
Committee, but in no event shall the option price of a non-qualified stock option be less than 100% of the fair market value of such Common Stock at the time the option is granted, as determined by the Committee. The option price or prices of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock for incentive stock options shall be not less than the fair market value of such Common Stock at the time the option is granted as determined by the Committee in accordance with the Regulations promulgated under
Section 422 of the Code. If the shares of Common Stock are listed on any national securities exchange, or traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“Nasdaq”) National Market System, the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of an option shall be the closing price, if any, on the largest such exchange, or if not traded on an exchange, the Nasdaq National Market System on such day, or if the date of grant is
not a business day, the business day immediately preceding the date of the grant, or if there are no sales of shares of Common Stock on the date of grant or on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant, the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock shall be determined by taking a weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
25.2512-2. If the shares are not then either listed on any such exchange or quoted in NASDAQ/NM, the fair market value shall be the mean between the average of the “Bid” and the average of the “Ask” prices, if any, as reported in
the National Daily Quotation Service for the date of grant, or if the date of grant is not a business day the business day immediately preceding the date of the grant of the option, or, if none, shall be determined by taking a weighted average of
the means between the highest and lowest sales prices on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 25.2512-2. If the fair market value cannot be determined under the
preceding two sentences, it shall be determined in good faith by the Committee. 
  

	 	8.	 	MANNER OF PAYMENT; MANNER OF EXERCISE. 

  
 (a) Options granted under the Plan may provide for the payment of the exercise price, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, by
delivery of (i) cash or a check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the exercise price of such options, (ii) shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the optionee having a fair market value equal in amount to the exercise
price of the options being exercised, (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii), provided, however, that payment of the exercise price by delivery of 

  

 4 

 
shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by such optionee may be made only if such payment does not result in a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes as determined by the Committee, or (iv) payment may also be made by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instruments to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company
the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price. The fair market value of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock which may be delivered upon exercise of an option shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 7
hereof. To facilitate clause (iv) above, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The date of exercise shall be the date of delivery of such exercise notice. 
  
 (b) To the extent that the right to purchase shares under an option has
accrued and is in effect, options may be exercised in full at one time or in part from time to time, by giving written notice, signed by the person or persons exercising the option, to the Company, stating the number of shares with respect to which
the option is being exercised, accompanied by payment in full for such shares as provided in subparagraph (a) above. Upon such exercise, delivery of a certificate for paid-up non-assessable shares shall be made at the principal office of the Company
to the person or persons exercising the option at such time, during ordinary business hours, after 9:00 a.m. but not more than thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the notice by the Company, as shall be designated in such notice, or at such
time, place and manner as may be agreed upon by the Company and the person or persons exercising the option. Upon exercise of the option and payment as provided above, the optionee shall become a stockholder of the Company as to the Shares acquired
upon such exercise. 
  

	 	9.	 	VESTING OF OPTIONS. 

  
 Except as otherwise provided in an optionee’s Agreement, each option granted under the Plan shall, subject to Section 10 and Section 12 hereof, be
exercisable with reference to the option’s Vesting Reference Date (the date selected by the Committee) as follows: prior to the First Anniversary Date of the Vesting Reference Date—zero percent (0%); on the First Anniversary Date of the
Vesting Reference Date—twenty five percent (25%); on the Second Anniversary Date of the Vesting Reference Date—fifty percent (50%); on the Third Anniversary Date of the Vesting Reference Date—seventy-five percent (75%); and on the
Fourth Anniversary Date of the Vesting Reference Date—one hundred percent (100%). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) of the Company, fifty percent (50%) of the
unvested shares of each Participant with a minimum of six months’ service will automatically be fully Vested; in the event of a Change of Control of the Company not approved by the Board of Directors prior to such Change of Control, all of the
Shares shall be fully Vested immediately upon such Change of Control. For purposes of the Plan, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following conditions have occurred: (1) the merger or consolidation of the
Company with another entity where the Company is not the surviving entity and where after the merger or consolidation (i) its stockholders prior to the merger or consolidation hold less than 50% of the voting stock of the surviving entity and (ii)
its Directors prior to the merger or consolidation are less than a majority of the Board of the surviving entity; (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to a third party and subsequent to the transaction (i) its
stockholders hold less than 50% of the stock of said third party and (ii) its Directors are less than a majority of the Board of said 

  

 5 

 
third party; (3) a transaction or series of related transactions, including a merger of the Company with another entity where the Company is the surviving
entity, whereby 50% or more of the voting stock of the Company is transferred to parties who are not prior thereto stockholders or affiliates of the Company; or (4) the Continuing Directors shall not constitute a majority of the Board of Directors
of the Company. The term “Continuing Directors” shall mean a member of the Board of Directors of the Company who either was a member of the Board of Directors of the Company on the date this Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors or
who subsequently became a director of the Company and whose initial appointment, initial election or initial nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders subsequent to such date was approved by a vote of a majority of the Continuing
Directors then on the Board of Directors of the Company. 
  
 To
the extent that an option to purchase shares is not exercised by an optionee when it becomes initially exercisable, it shall not expire but shall be carried forward and shall be exercisable, on a cumulative basis, until the expiration of the
exercise period. No partial exercise may be made for less than fifty (50) full shares of Common Stock. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion (i) specifically provide for another time or times of exercise (but not delay a vesting
period) or (ii) accelerate the exercisability of any option subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems necessary and appropriate. 
  

	 	10.	 	TERM AND EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS; RELATIONSHIP TO VESTING; NON-EMPLOYEE OPTIONS. 

  
 (a) TERM AND EXERCISABILITY. 
  
 (1) The term of each option shall be as stated in the optionee’s Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an option shall not exceed ten (10)
years from the date of the granting thereof, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan and the Agreement. 
  
 (2) Except as otherwise provided in the optionee’s Agreement, or this Section 10, an option granted to any employee who ceases to be an employee of
the Company or one of its subsidiaries shall terminate ninety (90) days after the date of such optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, or on the last day of the term of the option, whichever occurs first.

  
 (3) Except as otherwise provided in the optionee’s
Agreement, if such termination of employment is because of dismissal for cause or because the employee is in breach of any employment agreement, such option will terminate on the date the optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of
its subsidiaries, or on the last day of the term of the option, whichever occurs first. 
  
 (4) Except as otherwise provided in the optionee’s Agreement, if such termination of the employment is because the optionee has become permanently disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code),
such option shall terminate on the 

  

 6 

 
last day of the twelfth month from the date such optionee ceases to be an employee, or on the last day of the term of the option, whichever occurs first.

  
 (5) Except as otherwise provided in the optionee’s
Agreement, in the event of the death of an optionee, any option granted to such optionee shall terminate on the last day of the twelfth month from the date of death, or on the last day of the term of the option, whichever occurs first. 

 
 (6) Except as otherwise provided in the optionee’s Agreement, if such
termination of employment is because of the retirement of the optionee on or after attaining the minimum age, completing the minimum number of years of service, and satisfying of all other conditions specified for retirement status under the
Company’s Retirement Policy Statement as in effect at the time of the grant of the option, such option will terminate on the date that is five (5) years after the date the optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, or the last day of the term of the option, whichever occurs first. 
  
 (7) Notwithstanding subparagraphs (2) through (6) above, the Committee shall have the authority to extend the expiration date of any outstanding option in circumstances in which it deems such action to be appropriate.

  
 (b) RELATIONSHIP TO VESTING. Except as otherwise provided in
the optionee’s agreement, an option granted to an employee who ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, whether by having become permanently disabled, as defined in Sedition 22(e)(3) of the Code, by death, or
otherwise, shall be exercisable only to the extent that the right to purchase shares under such option has vested and accrued on the date that such optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries. 
  
 (c) NON-EMPLOYEE OPTIONS. The term of an option granted to a non-employee
director, a consultant, or any other person who is not an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries shall be stated in the optionee’s Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an option shall not exceed ten (10) years from the
date of the granting thereof, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan and the Agreement. An option granted to a non-employee director, a consultant, or any other person who is not an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries
shall be exercisable only to the extent so provided in the optionee’s Agreement. 
  

	 	11.	 	OPTIONS NOT TRANSFERABLE. 

  
 The right of any optionee to exercise any option granted to him or her shall not be assignable or transferable by such optionee otherwise than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and any such option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of such optionee only by him; provided, however, that in the case of a non-qualified stock option, the Committee may permit transferability of such
options on such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Option Agreement. Any option granted under the Plan shall be null and void and without effect upon the bankruptcy of the optionee to whom the option is granted,
or upon any attempted assignment or transfer, except as herein provided, including 

  

 7 

 
without limitation any purported assignment, whether voluntary or by operation of law, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition, attachment, divorce,
trustee process or similar process, whether legal or equitable, upon such option. 
  

	 	11A.	 	RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. 

  
 (a) A restricted stock award entitles the recipient to acquire, at such purchase price as determined by the Committee, shares of Common Stock subject to
such restrictions and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The grant
of a restricted stock award is contingent on the grantee executing the restricted stock award agreement. The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual
restricted stock awards and grantees. 
  
 (b) Upon execution of a
written instrument setting forth the restricted stock award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the restricted stock, subject to such conditions contained in
the written instrument evidencing the restricted stock award. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the restricted stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such restricted stock is vested as
provided in Section 11A(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank. 
  
 (c) Restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in
the restricted stock award agreement. If a grantee’s employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any reason, the Company shall have the right to repurchase restricted stock that has not vested
at the time of termination at its original purchase price, from the grantee or the grantee’s legal representative. 
  
 (d) The Committee at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other
conditions on which the non-transferability of the restricted stock and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subject to the power of the Committee to accelerate vesting upon a Change of Control, the vesting period for
restricted stock shall be at least three years, except that in the case of restricted stock that becomes transferable and no longer subject to risk of forfeiture upon the attainment of pre-established goals, objectives and other conditions, the
vesting period shall be at least one year. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be
restricted stock and shall be deemed “vested.” Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the restricted stock award agreement or, subject to Section 19 below, in writing after the restricted stock award agreement is
issued, a grantee’s rights in any shares of restricted stock that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its subsidiaries and such
shares shall be subject to the Company’s right of repurchase as provided in Section 11A(c) above. 
  

 8 

 (e) The restricted stock award agreement may require or permit the immediate payment, waiver, deferral or
investment of dividends paid on the restricted stock. 
  

	 	12.	 	RECAPITALIZATIONS, REORGANIZATIONS AND THE LIKE. 

  
 (a) In the event that the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, or dividends payable in capital stock, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares as to which options or restricted stock awards may be granted under the Plan and as to which outstanding options or portions thereof then unexercised shall be exercisable and as to the
repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding restricted stock award, to the end that the proportionate interest of the optionee or restricted stock holder shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event; such adjustment in
outstanding options shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of such options and with a corresponding adjustment in the option price per share. 
  
 (b) In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion, in the case of any Change of Control of the Company, the purchaser(s) of the Company’s assets or stock may, in his, her or its discretion, deliver to the optionee the same kind of consideration that is delivered to the stockholders
of the Company as a result of such sale, conveyance or Change of Control, or the Committee may cancel all outstanding options in exchange for consideration in cash or in kind, which consideration in both cases shall be equal in value to the value of
those shares of stock or other securities the optionee would have received had the option been exercised (to the extent then exercisable) and no disposition of the shares acquired upon such exercise been made prior to such Change of Control, less
the option price therefor. Upon receipt of consideration by the optionee, his or her option shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect. The value of the stock or other securities the optionee would have received if the option
had been exercised shall be determined in good faith by the Committee, and in the case of shares of the Common Stock of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof. The Committee shall also have the power and right to
accelerate the exercisability of any options, or to accelerate the vesting of any restricted stock awards, notwithstanding any limitations in this Plan or in the Agreement upon such Change of Control. Upon such acceleration, any options or portion
thereof originally designated as incentive stock options that no longer qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code as a result of such acceleration shall be redesignated as non-qualified stock options. 
  
 (c) Upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all options and
restricted stock awards granted under this Plan shall terminate, but each optionee (if at such time in the employ of or otherwise associated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) shall have the right, immediately prior to such dissolution or
liquidation, to exercise his or her option to the extent then exercisable. 
  
 (d) No fraction of a share shall be purchasable or deliverable upon the exercise of any option or the vesting of any restricted stock award, but in the event any 

  

 9 

 
adjustment hereunder of the number of shares covered by the option or restricted stock award shall cause such number to include a fraction of a share, such
fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of shares. 
  

	 	13.	 	NO SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. 

  
 Nothing contained in the Plan or in any option or restricted stock award granted under the Plan shall confer upon any optionee or restricted stock holder
any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by the Company (or any subsidiary thereof) or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any subsidiary thereof), subject to the terms of any separate employment
agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the optionee or restricted stock holder from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of an option or restricted stock award.
Whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute termination of employment shall be determined by the Committee at the time. 
  

	 	14.	 	WITHHOLDING. 

  
 The Company’s obligation to deliver shares upon the exercise of any option or vesting of any restricted stock award granted under the Plan and any payments or transfers under Section 12 hereof shall be subject to
the optionee or restricted stock holder’s satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income, excise, employment and any other tax withholding requirements. 
  

	 	15.	 	RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUE OF SHARES. 

  
 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8, the Company may delay the issuance of shares covered by the exercise of an option or restricted stock
award and the delivery of a certificate for such shares until one of the following conditions shall be satisfied: 
  
 (1) The shares with respect to the restricted stock award or with respect to which such option has been exercised are at the time of the issue of such
shares effectively registered or qualified under applicable Federal and state securities acts now in force or as hereafter amended; or 
  
 (2) Counsel for the Company shall have given an opinion, which opinion shall not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld, that such shares are exempt from
registration and qualification under applicable Federal and state securities acts now in force or as hereafter amended. 
  
 (b) It is intended that all exercises of options or grant of restricted stock awards shall be effective, and the Company shall use its best efforts to
bring about compliance with the above conditions within a reasonable time, except that the Company shall be under no obligation to qualify shares or to cause a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to any registration statement to be
prepared for the purpose of covering the issue of shares in respect of which any option may be exercised or with respect to any restricted stock award, except as otherwise agreed to by the Company in writing. 
  

 10 

	 	16.	 	PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT; RIGHTS OF HOLDER ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION. 

  
 Unless the shares to be issued upon the vesting of a restricted stock award or exercise of an option granted under the Plan have been effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter amended, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any shares covered by any restricted stock award or option unless the person who receives such restricted stock
award or exercises such option, in whole or in part, shall give a written representation and undertaking to the Company which is satisfactory in form and scope to counsel for the Company and upon which, in the opinion of such counsel, the Company
may reasonably rely, that he or she is acquiring the shares issued pursuant to such restricted stock award or to such exercise of the option for his or her own account as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the
distribution of any such shares, and that he or she will make no transfer of the same except in compliance with any rules and regulations in force at the time of such transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, or any other applicable law, and that
if shares are issued without such registration, a legend to this effect may be endorsed upon the securities so issued. In the event that the Company shall, nevertheless, deem it necessary or desirable to register under the Securities Act of 1933 or
other applicable statutes any shares with respect to a restricted stock award or to which an option shall have been exercised, or to qualify any such shares for exemption from the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable statutes, then the Company
may take such action and may require from each optionee or restricted stock holder such information in writing for use in any registration statement, supplementary registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or offering circular as is

	3.	Sprint represents itself as having the ability, expertise and resources to market, sell, sublicense and support the Products in connection with sales of Sycamore Products and
Services to its customers within its Government Systems Division, and Sycamore is willing to allow Sprint to do so pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises and obligations contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

  

	1.	Term 

  
 This Agreement shall become effective as of the date written below and shall continue in force until July 1, [*], unless terminated sooner as provided
under this Agreement. Up until thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date, either party shall have the right to propose a termination or renewal of this Agreement upon such terms as such party deems appropriate and all terms of such renewal are
subject to negotiation and mutual agreement. In the event that neither party elects to propose a termination or to re-negotiate the terms and conditions hereof at the end of any term, this Agreement shall automatically renew upon the current terms
and conditions for an additional [*] term. Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted as requiring either party to renew this Agreement. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for any Sprint purchase order that is outstanding at
the time of any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

constitute an infringement or other violation of any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, nondisclosure, or any other intellectual property righ, or right of publicity. To the best of Sycamore’s knowledge, Sycamore Products requiring the
use of any software or data provided on a network or stand-alone desktop computer [*]. 

  

	13.6	Sycamore’s sole obligation under the hardware and software Product warranties shall be to provide the remedies described in this Section. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES
STATED IN THIS SECTION, THE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND SYCAMORE DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF NONINFRINGMENT AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE. SYCAMORE’S EXPRESS WARRANTIES WILL NOT BE ENLARGED, DIMINISHED OR
AFFECTED BY, AND NO OBLIGATION OR

 LIABILITY WILL ARISE OUT OF, SYCAMORE RENDERING TECHNICAL OR OTHER ADVICE OR SERVICE IN CONNECTION WITH
THE PRODUCTS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY. THIS WARRANTY GIVES SPRINT SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND SPRINT MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

  

	13.7	Upon the sale or sublicense by Sprint of any of the Products, Sprint shall grant to its customers a warranty from Sprint that is equivalent in scope and effect to the warranty
granted under this Section, but such warranty shall specify that the customer’s only remedy or recourse under such warranty shall be against Sprint. 

  

	14.	Confidentiality 

  

	14.1	For purposes of this Agreement, confidential information shall mean any information if (i) it is delivered in written form marked “Confidential”, (ii) it is delivered
orally, described as confidential and its confidential nature is confirmed in writing within twenty (20) days, or (iii) if in any event the receiving party might reasonably be expected to judge it as confidential (“Confidential
Information”). 

  

	14.2	Neither party shall directly or indirectly communicate or disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any Confidential Information provided to it and identified as
such by the other party without the prior written consent of the other party unless: 

  

	 	a.	Such information is already known by the receiving party, as evidenced by its business records at the time it was provided to the receiving party; 

  

	 	b.	Such information is already in the public domain; 

  

	 	c.	The receiving party is required to disclose such information pursuant to law or court order, but only after notifying the other party and allowing the other party an opportunity to
obtain a protective or other order; 

  

	 	d.	Such information lawfully comes into the receiving party’s possession from a source which is not the other party; or 

  

	 	e.	Such information is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the information and such independent development can be shown by documentary evidence.

  

	14.3	Each party agrees not to use such Confidential Information except in its performance under this Agreement. In addition, each party shall treat and protect such information in the
same manner as it treats its own information of like character, but with not less than reasonable care. The obligations of this Section with regard to Confidential Information shall continue for a period of five (5) years after termination or
expiration of this Agreement. Such Confidential Information must be returned by the receiving party upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or upon written request. At the reasonable request of the disclosing party, the receiving party will

 To the extent applicable, if any material non-public information is disclosed, the receiving party agrees
that it will comply with SEC Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure). 
  

	14.4	No public announcement or other disclosure concerning the existence or terms of this Agreement shall be made by either party without first obtaining the written approval of the
other party and agreement upon the nature and text of such announcement, such approval and agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. This Section 14 shall not apply to (i) any disclosure to a third party which a party determines is reasonably
necessary in connection with any financing, strategic transaction, acquisition or disposition involving such party provided that the third party signs a non-disclosure agreement with terms and conditions substantially similar to this Section 14 or
(ii) any disclosure which a party reasonably determines is required by applicable law, regulation, regulatory authority, legal process or the rules of any stock market on which the securities of such party are listed or quoted for trading.

  

	14.5	No Publicity. Neither party will, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, make any news release, public announcement, denial or confirmation of this
Agreement or any Order, its value, or its terms and conditions, or in any other manner advertise or publish this Agreement or any Order, its value, or its terms and conditions. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to imply that either party will
agree to any publicity whatsoever, and each party may, in its sole discretion, withhold its consent to any publicity. 

  

	14.6	Injunctive Relief. Each party agrees that the wrongful disclosure of Confidential Information may cause irreparable injury that is inadequately compensable in monetary
damages. Accordingly, either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for the breach or threatened breach of this Section 14 in addition to any other remedies in law or equity. 

  

	15.	Intellectual Property Rights 

  

	15.1	During the term of this Agreement, Sprint is authorized to use Sycamore’s trademarks, trade names and logos in connection with Sprint’s sale, advertisement and promotion
of the Products in accordance with Sycamore’s requirements for such use. At Sycamore’s request, Sprint will provide samples of any or all of Sprint’s sale, advertisement and promotion documentation to ensure compliance with Sycamores
requirements for the use of its trademarks, trade names, and logos. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Sprint shall cease its use of any of Sycamore’s trademarks, trade names or logos and shall immediately remove any references
to Sycamore from its advertising, promotional and all other materials. 

  

	15.2	Except as described in this Agreement, Sycamore does not grant and Sprint acknowledges that it shall have no right, license or interest in any of the patents, copyrights,
trademarks, or trade secrets owned, used or claimed now or in the future by Sycamore. All applicable rights to such patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets are and will remain the exclusive property of Sycamore, whether or not the
patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets are specifically recognized or perfected under the laws of the Territory. Regardless of any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no title to or ownership of the intellectual property
contained in the Products or any part of the Products or Sycamore’s confidential information is transferred to Sprint. 

  

	15.3	Sprint acknowledges that the Products as well as all corrections, enhancements, updates, modifications, local versions, translations or any derivatives of the Products
(collectively, the “Enhancements”), and all intellectual property rights in the Products and Enhancements shall remain Sycamore’s property, subject to the rights expressly granted to Sprint by this Agreement. Sprint acknowledges that
it has paid no consideration for the use of the Marks or Sycamore’s

 SYCAMORE NETWORKS, INC. AND SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P.

  

 12 

 copyrights, and nothing contained in this Agreement will give the Sprint any right, title or interest in
any of them. 
  

	15.4	Sprint agrees: (i) not to remove, modify or change in any way the Marks which are affixed to the Products and to Sycamore marketing and sales literature when they are shipped to
Sprint, and (ii) not to attach any additional trademarks, trade names, logos, insignias, markings or designations to such Products or materials. 

  

	15.5	Sycamore agrees not to use the trademarks, service marks, trade names, or logos proprietary to Sprint, for any purpose without Sprint’s prior written consent.

  

	16.	Patent and Copyright Indemnification 

  

	16.1	Subject to the limitations of Section 16.2 below, Sycamore agrees to indemnify and hold Sprint harmless from and against all valid claims and judicial or governmental determinations
that the Products as delivered by Sycamore under this Agreement infringe or misappropriate any United States patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, or any other intellectual property right, or right of publicity. Sycamore shall assume
the defense of any such claim of infringement or misappropriation brought against Sprint in the United States by counsel retained at Sycamore’s own expense, provided that Sprint promptly notifies Sycamore in writing of such claim or the
commencement of any such suit, action, proceeding or threat covered by this Section. Sycamore shall maintain sole and exclusive control of the defense of any such claim and Sprint shall cooperate in the defense of such claim. In no event shall
Sprint consent to any judgment or decree or do any other act in compromise of any such claim without first obtaining Sycamore’s written consent. 

  

	16.2	In the event that the use or sale of all or any portion of the Products is enjoined as a result of a suit based on alleged infringement or misappropriation of the third party
intellectual property rights, Sycamore agrees to either: (i) procure for Sprint the right to continue to use or sell the Product, or (ii) replace or modify the infringing or misappropriating Product so that it becomes non-infringing. [*]. Upon
Sycamore’s fulfillment of the alternatives set out in this Section, Sycamore shall be relieved of any further obligation or liability to Sprint as a result of any such infringement or misappropriation. 

  

	16.3	Regardless of any other provisions of this Agreement, this Section shall not apply (i) to any designs, specifications or modifications originating with or requested by Sprint, or
(ii) to the combination of any Product with other equipment, software or products not supplied by Sycamore if such infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such combination. Sprint shall indemnify and hold Sycamore harmless
against all claims that Sprint’s designs, specifications, modifications or combinations of Products with other equipment infringes or misappropriates any third party’s patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks or other
intellectual property rights. 

  

	16.4	THIS SECTION STATES SYCAMORE’S ENTIRE LIABILITY TO SPRINT, EXCEPT FOR SPRINT’S RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 19 BELOW, FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY PATENT
RIGHTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADE SECRETS, TRADEMARKS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. 

	

	17.	General Indemnity and Indemnification Process 

  
 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OF 
 SYCAMORE NETWORKS, INC. AND SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P. 
  

 13 

 Except for claims covered by Section 16, Sycamore will indemnify and defend Sprint and its directors,
officers, agents, and employees (each, a “Sprint Indemnitee”) from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees (collectively “Damages”) arising out of a [*] against a
Sprint Indemnitee resulting from or alleged to have resulted from [*] under or related [*]. 
  
 Sprint will indemnify and defend Sycamore and its respective directors, officers, agents and employees (each, a “Sycamore Indemnitee”) from and
against all Damages arising out of a [*]. 
  
 Promptly, upon
becoming aware of any matter that is subject to the provisions of Sections 16 and 17 (a “Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) must give notice of the Claim to the other party (“Indemnifying
Party”), accompanied by a copy of any written documentation regarding the Claim received by the Indemnified Party. 
  
 The Indemnifying Party will retain the right, at its option, to control, settle or defend, at its own expense and with its own counsel, the Claim. The
Indemnified Party will have the right, at its option, to participate in the settlement or defense of the Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement that imposes any liability or
obligation on the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. The parties will cooperate in the settlement or defense and give each other full access to all relevant information. 
  
 If the Indemnifying Party (1) fails to notify the Indemnified Party of the
Indemnifying Party’s intent to take any action within [*] days after receipt of a notice of a Claim or (2) fails to proceed in good faith with the prompt resolution of the Claim, the Indemnified Party, with prior written notice to the
Indemnifying Party and without waiving any rights to indemnification, may defend or settle the Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The 
  
 Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party on demand for all Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in
defending or settling the Claim. 
  
 The Indemnifying Party has
no obligation to indemnify and defend to the extent of the material failure if (1) the Indemnified Party fails to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the Claim and fails to provide reasonable cooperation and information to defend or settle the
Claim; and (2) that failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to satisfactorily defend or settle the Claim. 
  

	18.	Independent Contractor Status 

  
 Each party shall conduct its business under this Agreement as a principal for its own account at its own expense and risk. The relationship between the
parties is that of independent contractors. This Agreement creates no relationship of principal and agent, partner, joint venture or any similar relationship between Sycamore and Sprint. Each Party agrees that it does not have and will not have any
authority to act on the other party’s behalf. Each party further agrees that it will not act or represent itself, directly or by implication, to be an agent for the other party and will not attempt to create any obligation or make any
representation on behalf of or in the name of the other party. 
  

	19.	Termination 

  

	19.1	Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon one hundred and eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to the other party.

 14 

	19.2	Termination for Convenience. Provided Sprint is in receipt of a termination for convenience from its federal or state government customer which terminates in whole or in part
any Sprint contract or subcontract that resulted in an Order issued against this Agreement, Sprint may terminate this Agreement or any Order(s) or both, in whole or in part, at any time without liability by providing a termination notice to
Sycamore. Unless otherwise provided in the notice, the termination is effective immediately upon Sycamore’s receipt of the notice. Upon receipt of notice, Sycamore must discontinue work, preserve and protect materials, work in progress, and
completed work and conclude performance in accordance with Sprint’s instructions. Sprint will pay the contract price for completed goods and services in the affected Order(s) accepted by its customer. Sprint will timely submit Sycamore’s
costs incurred, together with a reasonable profit thereon, (substantiated by documentation reasonably satisfactory to Sprint) in the performance of work terminated to its customer for payment and pay such costs and profit to Sycamore to the extent
Sprint is reimbursed by its federal or state government customer for such Sycamore costs. Upon the demand of and at the expense of Sycamore, Sprint shall prosecute any appeal of the government customer’s denial of Sycamore’s claim for
termination costs or will assign such claim to permit Sycamore to pursue a claim itself, and at its cost, against the government’s customer in Sprint’s name. Sycamore will not be entitled to damages as result of such termination for
convenience in excess of the amount paid by Sprint’s government customer to Sprint for that portion of paid damages relating to Sycamore’s claim. 

  

	19.3	Termination for Cause. a) If a party materially breaches this Agreement or an Order or both, the other party may give the breaching party a material breach notice,
identifying the action or inaction that is the basis of the breach. The party that gave the breach notice may terminate this Agreement or the affected Order or both if the breaching party has not cured the breach within [*] days after the date of
the material breach notice. Unless otherwise provided in the notice or unless the breach has been cured, the termination is effective 31 days after the date of the notice. 

  
 b) Except for Orders under the GSA Schedule which shall be subject to the terms of Exhibit H, if Sprint is in receipt of a
notification of default from its government customer, Sprint may, by written notice of default to Sycamore, terminate the whole or any part of an Order in any one of the following circumstances: [*]. 
  
 In addition to any of the rights or remedies that Sprint may have under this
Section, if Sprint terminates an Order in whole or in part for cause as provided herein, Sprint may [*]. If termination is partial, Sycamore must continue the performance of the remaining portion of the Order. If Sycamore’s failure to perform
is caused by the default of a subcontractor at any tier, and if the failure is beyond the control of and without the fault or negligence of Sycamore and its subcontractor, then Sycamore shall not be liable for any excess costs unless the replacement
Products or Services were available to Sycamore from another source in time to meet the delivery schedule. 
  
 [*] 
  
 Sprint shall have no obligations to Sycamore with respect to the terminated part of any Order except as herein provided. In case of Sycamore’s
default, Sprint’s rights as set forth herein shall be in addition to Sprint’s other rights although not set forth under this Agreement. 
  

	19.4	This Agreement may be terminated for cause by either party in the event that the other party: (i) shall become insolvent; (ii) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as
they mature; or (iii) ceases to function as a going concern or to conduct its operations in the normal course of business. 

  
 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OF 
 SYCAMORE NETWORKS, INC. AND SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P. 
  

 15 

 In addition, either party may terminate this Agreement if there is a [*]. In the case of termination
resulting from a [*], the termination shall become effective [*] days after receipt of a notice of termination. 
  

	19.5	The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall in no case relieve either party from its obligation to pay to the other any sums accrued under this Agreement prior to such
termination or expiration. Termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the parties. Termination of this Agreement for any cause does not release either party from any liability which, at the time of
termination, has already accrued to the other party, or which may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to termination or from any obligation which is expressly stated to survive the termination. 

  

	19.6	Within ten (10) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement, Sprint shall return to Sycamore all signs, literature, logos and other materials identifying Sycamore that
remain in Sprint’s possession. Sprint shall also cease production and/or distribution of any such materials upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. Sycamore shall invoice Sprint for any final amounts due under the terminated Order(s).
The parties will discontinue making any statements or taking any actions that might cause third parties to infer that any business relationship continues to exist between the parties under the terminated Order, and where necessary or advisable,
inform third parties that the parties no longer have a business relationship under the terminated Order. 

  

	20.	Limitation of Liability 

  
 Neither party will be liable to the other for consequential, indirect or punitive damages for any cause of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise,
except for: 
  

	 	1.	[*]; 

  

	 	2.	[*]; or 

  

	 	3.	[*]. 

  
 Consequential damages include, but are not limited to, lost profits, lost revenue, and lost business opportunities, whether or not the other party was or should have been aware of the possibility of these damages.

  

	21.	Sycamore will obtain and keep in force during the term of this Agreement not less than the following insurance: 

  
 a) Commercial General Liability insurance, including bodily injury, property
damage, personal and advertising injury liability, and contractual liability covering operations, independent contractor and products/completed operations hazards, with limits of not less than [*] combined single limit per occurrence and [*] annual
aggregate, naming Sprint, its officers, directors and employees as additional insureds; 
  
 b) Workers’ Compensation as provided for in any jurisdiction where work is performed by Sycamore Personnel who are engaged in the performance of Services under this Agreement with an Employer’s Liability
limit of not less than [*] for bodily injury by accident or disease;

combined single limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage liability, naming Sprint, its officers, directors, and employees; and 
  
 d) Umbrella/Excess Liability with limits of not less than [*] combined single limit in excess of the above-referenced Commercial General Liability,
Employer’s Liability and Business Auto Liability. 
  
 All
required insurance policies must be taken out with financially reputable insurers reasonably acceptable to Sprint and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions where Services are provided under this Agreement. Sycamore will provide Sprint with a
certificate of insurance, satisfactory in form and content to Sprint, evidencing that all the required coverages are in force and have been endorsed to provide that no policy will be canceled without first giving Sprint 30 days’ prior notice.
Nothing contained in this Section 21 limits Sycamore’s liability to Sprint to the limits of insurance certified or carried. 
  

	22.	General 

  

	22.1	Sycamore represents and warrants that it has the right and has obtained all necessary corporate approvals to enter into this Agreement. Sprint represents and warrants that:

delay on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy.

otherwise transfer its rights under this Agreement without receiving the express prior written consent of the other party. Each party may, however, assign this Agreement in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of that party’s assets.

  

	22.4	All notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided for under this Agreement shall be in writing and be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the
receiving party at its address as set forth in this Agreement or to any other address that the receiving party may have provided to the sending party in writing. When feasible, any such notice, request, demand or other communication shall also be
