	 	RE:	Promotion Letter 

 Dear Alan, 

Congratulations on your new role as Executive Vice President and President, Optical Comms and Commercial Lasers, Grade E300. In your new role you will
continue to directly report to me. 
 The terms of our promotion offer, which have been approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of
Directors, are as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	 Your new annual base salary will be $425,000 effective the first pay period following the Compensation Committee approval.

  

	 	•	 	 Your target incentive opportunity increases to 75% of your base salary. Your incentive compensation opportunity will be dictated by the plan adopted by
the Corporation for each fiscal half. 

  

	 	•	 	 For the second half of fiscal year 2009 under the Company’s Incentive Plan you will receive a minimum bonus of $159,375.

  

	 	•	 	 In recognition of your promotion and contribution you will receive the following awards of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”):

  

	 	1.	An award of RSUs, the specific number of RSUs to be determined by dividing $825,000 by the closing price of JDSU’s common stock on November 14, 2008, which
will vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date (the “Time-Based RSU Award”). The Time-Based RSU Award will be granted on November 15, 2009; and 

  

	 	2.	 An award of RSUs that will be based upon achievement of performance objectives. The number of Performance Based RSUs available will be determined by
dividing $825,000 by the closing price of JDSU’s common stock on November 14, 2008. Shares will be allocated to each objective as agreed to by the CEO and Compensation Committee. The achievement of performance criteria will be determined
by the CEO and the Compensation Committee, in their sole discretion, at their first Compensation Meeting following the completion of the performance criteria and not sooner than the Committee’s May 2009 meeting. When approved, the shares
assigned to the achieved objective will be granted on the 15th of the month following approval, with 50% of the grant vesting immediately and 50% vesting one year later. In the event of a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the Company’s 2008 Change of Control Benefit Plan) outstanding
awards, shall be immediately granted upon the date of any such Change of Control. The granted shares shall thereafter be subject to the same objective(s) criteria and vesting as would have occurred before a Change of Control.

cycle currently scheduled for July 2009. In case the timing of this annual cycle changes, you will be eligible to receive an annual grant no later than November 15, 2009.

reasonably required to complete tax returns or to compute the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement. 
 SECTION
6.04. Indemnity Payments. (a) Any Indemnity Payment (other than a payment that represents interest accruing after the date of the Distribution) shall be treated by AOL and TWX for all Tax purposes as a distribution from AOL to

 (b) The amount of any Indemnity Payment described in Section 6.04(a) shall be (i) reduced to take into account any Tax benefit
actually realized by the Indemnitee resulting from the incurrence of the Liability in respect of which the Indemnity Payment was made and (ii) increased to take into account any Tax cost actually realized by the Indemnitee resulting from the
receipt of the Indemnity Payment

 12 
  

 
(including Tax cost arising from such Indemnity Payment having resulted in income or gain to either Company (for example, under Section 1.1502-19 of the Regulations) and Tax cost imposed on

 ARTICLE VII 
 Miscellaneous Provisions 
 SECTION 7.01. Confidentiality. The Confidential Information provision of the Separation Agreement shall apply with respect to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.02. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Companies, their Affiliates, their
legal representatives and any successor to either of the Companies, by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, to the same extent as if the successor had been an original party to the Agreement, and in such event, all references herein to a
Company shall refer instead to the successor of such Company. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Companies or their respective successors or assigns or, to the extent provided by this
Agreement, their Affiliates, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.03. Failure to Pursue
Remedies. The failure of a Company to seek redress for breach of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a breach, from having the
effect of an original breach. 
 SECTION 7.04. Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement
are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by a Company shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the Companies may have by Law or otherwise.

 SECTION 7.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Companies with respect to the
subject matter hereof, supersedes all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter and there are no agreements or understandings between the Companies
with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to herein. 
 SECTION 7.06. Absence of
Presumption. The Companies have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the
Companies and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either Company by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purposes of Articles IV and V are to
ensure the Intended Tax Treatment and, accordingly, the Companies agree 

 13 
  

 that the language thereof shall be interpreted in a manner that serves this purpose to the greatest extent
possible. 
 SECTION 7.07. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof, except to the extent the Laws of Delaware or any other jurisdiction are mandatorily
applicable. Each of the Companies irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be brought only in the State or United States Federal courts located in the State of
New York. Each Company irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of such documents by registered United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
respective address set forth in Section 7.13. EACH COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 
 SECTION 7.08. Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Company and delivered to the other Company.

Contribution Agreement shall in each case include references to any exhibits, schedules and amendments thereto. If, and to the extent, the provisions of this Agreement conflict with the Separation Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control. 
 SECTION 7.11. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either Company without the prior written consent of the other Company. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be
void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Companies and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, either Company may
assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Company is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Company’s Assets, or
(b) upon the sale of all or substantially all of such Company’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in

 14 
  

 
writing all of the obligations of the assigning Company under this Agreement, and the assigning Company provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning
Company. No assignment permitted by this Section 7.11 shall release the assigning Company from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.12. Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Companies and are not
intended to confer upon any Person except the Companies any rights or remedies hereunder. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, liability,
reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Companies.
