remains unpaid of all outstanding Purchased Receivables will not cause the Available Uncommitted Facility Limit to be exceeded on the Purchase Date; and

		
	(d)
	the proposed Purchase Date falls at least 1 Business Day after the date of the Purchase Request and before the Termination Date; and

		
	(e)
	each of the representations and warranties set out in Clause 11 are true and correct at the time the Purchase Request is made and on the proposed Purchase Date.

	PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES

		
	4.1
	Protected Limits

		
	(a)
	Subject to clause 4.2 (Protected Limit Threshold), BNPP may by written notice to the Company:

		
	(i)
	establish a Protected Limit in relation to any Approved Debtor;

		
	(ii)
	increase any previously-established Protected Limit; or

		
	(iii)
	reduce or cancel any established Protected Limit to take effect immediately, except that no reduction or cancellation shall affect any Purchased Receivable which has been purchased before the giving of notice to the Company of such reduction or cancellation.

		
	(b)
	All established Protected Limits shall automatically be cancelled and reduced to zero on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the automatic cancellation of an established Protected Limit, the obligations of the Parties with respect to all Purchased Receivables shall remain in full force and effect.

		
	(c)
	The Company undertakes not to disclose to any Approved Debtor or any other person the status of any Receivable as an Eligible Receivable or the amount  of or absence of any Protected Limit.

		
	(d)
	The Company acknowledges that in establishing Protected Limits, BNPP is  not acting as a credit information agency as defined in the Consumer Credit Act 2006 and that BNPP has no obligation to the Company or any other person in relation to any Protected Limit, save as expressly provided in this Agreement.

		
	(e)
	The terms of the Agency Agreement and Protected Limit Guidelines are incorporated into this Agreement and shall form part of this Agreement provided that where a term of the Agency Agreement and Protected Limit Guidelines conflicts with any term set forth in this Agreement, the term set  forth in this Agreement shall prevail.

		
	4.2
	Protected Limit Threshold

		
	(a)
	If an Offered Receivable in respect of a Debtor is (when aggregated with all other outstanding Purchased Receivables owing by the same Debtor) below the Protected Limit Threshold the Company shall not be required to apply to

BNPP for a Protected Limit in respect of Receivables relating to such Debtor, provided always that the Client must retain in a form acceptable to BNPP, and keep available for audit at any time the applicable information set forth in paragraph (a) of the Agency Agreement and Protected Limit Guidelines.

		
	(b)
	If the Protected Limit Threshold has been exceeded or is due to be exceeded in respect of any Debt, the Company must, unless BNPP has notified the Company that a Protected Limit has been established in respect of the Debtor to which that Debt relates, apply to BNPP for an increased Protected Limit by completing and delivering in a form acceptable to BNPP such information as BNPP may reasonably require, including but not limited to the information set forth in paragraph (b) of the Agency Agreement and Protected Limit Guidelines.

		
	(c)
	BNPP will notify the Company of its application decision as soon as reasonably practicable but (for the avoidance of doubt) shall not be obliged to approve such increased Protected Limit.

		
	(d)
	If the Company holds any information in respect of any Debtor which the Company is (or should reasonably be) aware may detrimentally affect that Debtor's Protected Limit (whether below or above the Protected Limit Threshold) the Company must promptly provide such information to BNPP.

		
	(e)
	BNPP may at its absolute discretion, by written notice, reduce or cancel any Protected Limits at any time. Such reduction or cancellation shall be immediately effective upon the Company's receipt of the notice, except that no reduction or cancellation shall affect any Purchased Receivable which has been purchased before the giving of notice to the Company of such reduction or cancellation.

		
	4.3
	Purchase of Offered Receivable

If BNPP has agreed to purchase any Receivable specified in a Purchase Request then BNPP shall pay to the Company on the Purchase Date specified in such Purchase Request the Purchase Price in respect of such Receivable and the payment of the Purchase Price shall constitute BNPP's acceptance of the Company's offer to sell and transfer to BNPP such Receivable. Upon payment by BNPP of the Purchase Price, title to such Receivable shall immediately and automatically transfer with full title guarantee to BNPP without further action on the part of BNPP or the Company.

	4.5
	Recourse

		
	(a)
	If a Purchased Receivable remains unpaid by the Approved Debtor on the Maturity Date of such Purchased Receivable in whole or in part and a Recourse Event with respect to such Purchased Receivable has occurred, BNPP may, by written notice, require the Company to pay to BNPP in respect of such Purchased Receivable an amount equal to and in the same   currency

as the Original Amount of such Purchased Receivable (or so much of it as remains unpaid on the Expected Payment Date relating to such Purchased Receivable) (together with any other amount then outstanding to BNPP from the Company hereunder) (the “Recourse Price”), whereupon such amount shall become due and payable from the Company to BNPP on the Expected Payment Date and shall be paid into the BNPP Account.

		
	(b)
	On BNPP’s unconditional receipt into the BNPP Account of the Recourse  Price (in cleared funds), BNPP shall if so requested by the Company in writing, execute such documents as may be necessary to re-assign such rights BNPP may have in respect of the Purchased Receivable to the Company, upon  which the ownership of the Purchased Receivable shall be re-assigned to the Company and BNPP shall have no further obligations or liabilities in respect of such Purchased Receivable.

		
	(c)
	The Company shall be responsible for and hereby covenants to pay for any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Company or BNPP (to the extent in the case of BNPP, such costs and expenses are reasonably and properly incurred by BNPP) in order to effect or perfect the re-assignment of the Purchased Receivables.

		
	(d)
	If following the Company’s receipt of the written notice as contemplated in clause 4.5(a) above the Company does not pay or has not paid to BNPP the Recourse Price (as the case may be) on or before the Expected Payment Date relating to the Purchased Receivable referred to in clause 4.5(a) above, then the Company shall pay interest at the Default Rate on such outstanding amount during the period starting with (but excluding) the Expected Payment Date.

		
	(e)
	Payment by, or on behalf of the Company in full of the relevant Recourse  Price (together with any interest payable in accordance with clause 4.4(d) above) shall remedy the occurrence of any Recourse Event in respect of a Purchased Receivable.

	Following receipt of a written request from the Company, BNPP may, at its discretion, agree to add a Debtor as an Approved Debtor.

		
	(b)
	BNPP may, at its discretion, by notice to the Company, remove any Debtor as an Approved Debtor with immediate effect, provided that the rights and obligations of the Parties in respect of any Purchased Receivable relating to the relevant Debtor which has been purchased by BNPP before the giving of such notice shall remain in full force and effect.

		
	(c)
	If any Debtor is added or removed as an Approved Debtor pursuant to clause 5(a) or 5(b) above, BNPP and the Company shall enter into such documentation as BNPP considers appropriate to reflect the variation to the  list of Approved Debtors.

		
	(d)
	The Company shall, within 5 Business Days of written demand, reimburse BNPP for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably  and  properly  incurred  by  BNPP    in  responding  to, evaluating,

Property") is and will at all times remain the property of EMCORE and be held by Hytera on a bailment-at-will basis.

(b)    Only EMCORE has any right, title or interest in and to Bailed Property, except for Hytera's limited right, subject to EMCORE's sole discretion, to use the Bailed Property in the performance of Hytera's obligations under this Agreement.

Hytera shall not commingle Bailed Property with the property of Hytera or with that of a Person other than EMCORE or Hytera and shall not move any Bailed Property from Hytera's premises without the prior written approval by EMCORE. EMCORE may, at any time, for any reason and without payment of any kind, retake possession of any Bailed Property via a prior notice without the necessity of payment to Hytera, or a hearing or a court order, which rights, if any, are waived by Hytera. Upon EMCORE's request, Bailed Property will be immediately released to EMCORE or delivered to EMCORE by Hytera. Hytera's continued holding of Bailed Property after demand has been made by EMCORE for delivery will impair the value thereof, and, accordingly, EMCORE will be entitled to a court order of possession without any need or proving damages or a bond. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hytera shall not allow any Encumbrance to be imposed on or attach to the Bailed Property through Hytera or as a result of Hytera's action or inaction, and Hytera hereby waives any Encumbrance that it may have or acquire in the Bailed Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the bailment relationship described in this Section 14.1 is deemed to be a secured financing transaction, Hytera grants to EMCORE a continuing security interest in any rights or interests it may have in the Bailed Property.

14.2    Tooling Orders.  

(a)    Hytera may not charge EMCORE for the cost of manufacturing or procuring any Tooling or other materials used in the production and sale of the Products unless EMCORE agrees in writing, which agreement EMCORE shall not unreasonably withhold, to reimburse Hytera for Hytera's actual reasonable costs of manufacturing or procuring such Tooling or other materials (a "Reimbursement Depreciation"). Payment for such Tooling or materials will be due only after (a) EMCORE receipt of such Tooling or materials required by EMCORE, which will be conducted at Hytera's sole cost and expense, (b) EMCORE has successfully conducted a tooling audit in accordance with its requirements, for which it has informed Hytera before making the Tooling or materials, and (c) Hytera has provided to EMCORE detailed evidence documenting the actual costs incurred by Hytera for such Tooling or materials, including copies of any invoice issued to Hytera by any third party with respect thereto, or any other information reasonably requested by EMCORE with respect to such Tooling or materials (which may include CAD models and drawings) counted. EMCORE shall pay Hytera only the actual cost of such Tooling or materials, not to exceed the authorized amount, if any, stated in the applicable Reimbursement Depreciation.

(b)    Such Tooling or other materials that are subject to a Reimbursement Depreciation provided by EMCORE will become Bailed Property (and title thereto will vest in EMCORE) immediately upon completion of all testing required by EMCORE (provided that EMCORE will not be relieved of its obligation to pay for such Tooling or materials in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or, if earlier, any payment by EMCORE to Hytera therefor. Any payments made by EMCORE for Bailed Property are expressly intended by EMCORE to be held for the benefit of any subcontractors or suppliers used by Hytera to fabricate the Bailed Property that relates to such payments. EMCORE will not pay for any Tooling necessary for the production of sample products unless otherwise provided in the applicable Reimbursement Depreciation.

17.1    Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive, and the exercise by either Party of any right or remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies that may now or subsequently be available at law, in equity, by statute, in any other agreement between the Parties or otherwise.

17.12    Equitable Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) a breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 13 would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and (b) in the event of a breach by such Party of any such obligations, the other Party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to such Party at law, at equity or otherwise in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, and with requirements to prove actual damages or that monetary damages will not afford an adequate remedy.

17.15    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Chapter 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) to enforce any term of this Agreement. This does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that ordinance.

17.16    Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof (each, a "Dispute"), shall be submitted for negotiation and resolution to the General Manager of Hytera (or to such other person of equivalent or superior position designated by Hytera in a written Notice to EMCORE) and the SVP, Operations of EMCORE (or to such other person of equivalent or superior position designated by EMCORE in a written Notice to Hytera), by delivery of written Notice (each, a "Dispute Notice") from either of the Parties to the other Party.

If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute within 30 days after delivery of the applicable Dispute Notice, either Party may initiate proceedings in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.17 hereunder.

17.17    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, including all exhibits, schedules, attachments and appendices attached hereto and thereto, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of Hong Kong SAR, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The Parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Products does not apply to this Agreement. Any controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby , including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted.  The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong SAR.  Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such arbitration in any such action, proceeding or dispute.

17.18    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement, including any exhibits, schedules, attachments, and appendices attached to this Agreement, is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, where applicable, each such Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any exhibits, schedules, attachments, and appendices attached to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that (a) no Representative of the other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such Party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such Party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) such Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

17.19    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together is deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by e-mail or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement, if the party sending such e-mail or other means of electronic transmission has received express confirmation that the recipient party received the Agreement (not merely an automatic email reply).

17.20    Force Majeure. Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be excused to the extent that the delay or failure was caused directly by an event beyond such Party's control, without such Party's fault or negligence and that by its nature could not have been foreseen by such Party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (which events may include natural disasters, embargoes, explosions, riots, infectious disease, wars or acts of terrorism) (each, a "Force Majeure Event"). Hytera's financial inability to perform, changes in cost or availability of materials, components or services, market conditions or supplier actions or contract disputes and EMCORE's financial inability to perform, market conditions, customer actions or contract disputes will not excuse performance by Hytera and EMCORE under this Section 17.21. A Party shall give the other Party prompt written Notice of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in a Force Majeure Event and the anticipated duration of such Force Majeure Event. Each Party shall use all diligent efforts to end the Force Majeure Event, ensure that the effects of any Force Majeure Event are minimized and resume full performance under this Agreement. During any Force Majeure Event, EMCORE may, at its option (a) purchase Products from other sources and reduce the quantities hereunder by such quantities without liability to Hytera, and require Hytera to reimburse EMCORE for any reasonable additional costs to EMCORE of obtaining the substitute goods compared to the Prices for such Products under this Agreement, (b) require Hytera to deliver to EMCORE all finished Products, work in process or parts and materials produced or acquired for work under this Agreement as are within the capabilities of Hytera and at the Prices for the Products hereunder or following further negotiation under the premise of capacity, or (c) require Hytera to provide Products from other sources in quantities and at a time determined by both Parties and at the Prices for the Products hereunder. If requested by either Party, the other Party shall, within 10 days of such request, provide adequate assurances that a Force Majeure Event will not exceed 60 days. If the delay due to the Force Majeure lasts more than such 60-day period, EMCORE or Hytera may immediately terminate this Agreement. The rights granted to Hytera and EMCORE with respect to excused delays or failure to perform under this Section 17.21 are intended to limit Hytera's and EMCORE’s liabilities under theories of force majeure, commercial impracticability, impracticability or impossibility of performance, or failure of presupposed conditions or otherwise.

17.21    No Public Announcements or Trademark Use. Unless expressly permitted under this Agreement, neither Party shall either:

(a)    make any statement (whether oral or in writing) in any press release, external advertising, marketing or promotion materials regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, the other Party or its business unless:

(i)    it has received the express written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or 

(ii)    it is required to do so by Law or under the rules of any stock exchange to which it is subject. 

(b)    use any of the other Party's Trademarks without the prior written consent of the other Party.

Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that EMCORE is entitled to (without further consent of Buyers) and intends to disclose publicly this Agreement, and the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, by filing the Agreement and, if applicable, the Transaction Documents on a Current Report on Form 8-K (and any amendments thereto) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
