bank from paying or negotiating any Demand or honoring any other obligation
under or in connection with any Credit.  Applicant agrees that the
receipt by you or any of your agents or correspondents at any time of any kind

    SECTION 14.  REMEDIES.  Upon the
occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default all amounts paid by you on
any Demand which have not previously been repaid to you, together with all
interest on such amounts, and the Unpaid and Undrawn Balance, if any, shall
automatically be owing by Applicant to you and shall be due and payable by
Applicant on demand without presentment or any other notice of any kind,
including, without limitation, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest,
protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate, or notice of
acceleration, all of which are expressly waived by Applicant.  Upon
payment of the Unpaid and Undrawn Balance to you Applicant shall have no further
legal or equitable interest therein, and you will not be required to segregate
on your books or records the Unpaid and Undrawn Balance paid by
Applicant.  After you receive the Unpaid and Undrawn Balance, you
agree to pay to Applicant, upon termination of all of your liability under all
the Credits and Demands, a sum equal to the amount which has not been drawn
under all the Credits less all amounts due and owing to you from Applicant under
or in connection with the L/C Documents and the Loan
Documents.  Further, upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event
of Default, you may sell immediately, without demand for payment, advertisement
or notice to Applicant, all of which are hereby expressly waived, any and all
Collateral, received or to be received, at private sale or public auction or at
brokers' board or upon any exchange or otherwise, at your option, in such parcel
or parcels, at such times and places, for such prices and upon such terms and
conditions as you may deem proper, and you may apply the net proceeds of each
sale, together with any sums due from you to Applicant, to the payment of any
and all obligations and liabilities due from Applicant to you under or in
connection with the L/C Documents and the Loan Documents, all without prejudice
to your rights against Applicant with respect to any and all such obligations
and liabilities which may be or remain unpaid.  If any such sale be at
brokers' board or at public auction or upon any exchange, you may yourself be a
purchaser at such sale free from any right of redemption, which Applicant hereby
expressly waive and release.  All your rights and remedies existing
under the L/C Documents and the Loan Documents are in addition to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available to you under applicable
law.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Applicant hereby authorizes
you at any time or from time to time, without notice to Applicant or to any
other person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Applicant) and to
the extent permitted by law, to appropriate and to apply any and all Applicant's
deposits (general or special, including, without limitation, indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit) with you or elsewhere, whether matured or
unmatured, and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by you to or for
Applicant's credit or its account, against and on account of Applicant's
obligations and liabilities to you under or in connection with any of the L/C
Documents or the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not you shall have
made any demand for payment of any or all such obligations and liabilities or
declared any or all such obligations and liabilities to be due and payable, and
although any or all such obligations and liabilities shall be contingent or
unmatured.

    

    SECTION 15.  GENERAL WAIVERS.  No
delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence which may
occur or be granted by you under any L/C Document or any Loan Document shall
impair your rights or powers under this Agreement or any
Application.  You shall not be deemed to have waived any of your
rights under this Agreement or any Application unless such waiver is in writing
signed by your authorized representative.  No such waiver, unless
expressly provided therein, shall be effective as to any transactions which
occur subsequent to the date of such waiver or as to the continuance of any
Event of Default after such waiver.

    

    SECTION 16.  AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE CREDITS.  No amendment or modification of
this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by Applicant's
and your authorized representative(s).  At Applicant's verbal or
written request, or with Applicant's verbal or written consent, and without
extinguishing or otherwise affecting Applicant's obligations under this
Agreement or any Loan Document, you may with respect to any Credit, in writing
or by any other action, but you will not be obligated to, (a) increase the
amount of such Credit, (b) extend the time for, and amend or modify the terms
and conditions governing, the making and honoring of any Demand or Document or
any other terms and conditions of such Credit, or (c) waive the failure of any
Demand or Document to comply with the terms of such Credit, and any Collateral
pledged or granted to you in connection with such Credit will secure Applicant's
obligations to you with respect to such Credit as amended, modified or
waived.  No amendment to, or modification of, the terms of any Credit
will become effective if the Beneficiary of such Credit or any confirming bank
objects to such amendment or modification.  If any Credit is amended
or modified in accordance with this Section, Applicant shall be bound by, and
obligated under, the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Credit as
so amended or modified, and any action taken by you or any advising, confirming,
negotiating, paying or other bank in accordance with such amendment or
modification.

    

    SECTION 17.   SUCCESSORS AND
ASSIGNS.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement and each
Application shall bind Applicant's heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns, and all rights, benefits and privileges conferred on you under or
in connection with each L/C Document and each Loan Document shall be and hereby
are extended to, conferred upon and may be enforced by your successors and
assigns.  Applicant will not assign this Agreement or Applicant's
obligations or liabilities to you under or in connection with any L/C Document
or Loan Document to any person or entity without your prior written
approval.

    

    SECTION 18.  GOVERNING LAW.  This
Agreement and each Application, and Applicant's and your performance under this
Agreement and each Application, shall be governed by and be construed in

otherwise specifically agree in writing, each Credit, the opening of each
Credit, the performance by you under each Credit, and the performance by the
Beneficiary and any advising, confirming, negotiating, paying or other bank
under each Credit, shall be governed by and be construed in accordance with the
UCP in force on the date of the issuance of each Credit.

    

    SECTION 19.  JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF
PROCESS.  Any suit, action or proceeding against Applicant
under or with respect to any L/C Document may, at your sole option, be brought
in (a) the courts of the State of California, (b) the United States District
Courts in California, (c) the courts of Applicant's jurisdiction of
incorporation or principal office, or (d) the courts of the jurisdiction where
any Beneficiary, any advising, confirming, negotiating, paying or other bank, or
any other person or entity has brought any suit, action or proceeding against
you with respect to any Credit or any Demand, and Applicant hereby submits to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit,
action, proceeding or judgment and waives any other preferential jurisdiction by
reason of domicile.  Applicant will accept joinder in any suit, action
or proceeding brought in any court or jurisdiction against you by any
Beneficiary, any advising, confirming, negotiating, paying or other bank or any
other person or entity with respect to any Credit or any
Demand.  Applicant irrevocably waives any objection, including,
without limitation, any objection of the laying of venue or any objection based
on the grounds of forum non
conveniens, which Applicant may now or hereafter have to the bringing of
any such action or proceeding.  Applicant further waives any right to
transfer or change the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought against
Applicant by you under or in connection with any L/C
Document.  Applicant irrevocably consents to the service of process in

    SECTION 20.  GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES RESOLVED
AS PROVIDED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.  Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Credit governed by this
Agreement is issued under or pursuant to any Loan Document, the law governing
such Loan Document will also govern this Agreement and each Application and
Applicant's and your performance under this Agreement and each Application, and
all disputes arising between Applicant and you under or in connection with any
L/C Document will be resolved as provided in such Loan Document, unless any such
dispute is brought by, or involves, the Beneficiary of such Credit, or any
advising, confirming, negotiating, paying, accepting or other bank, or any other
person or entity other than Applicant, and results in legal action different
from the form of action provided in such Loan Document.  If pursuant
to this Section Texas law governs this Agreement, the special Texas provisions
at the end of this Agreement will apply.

    

    SECTION 21.  MULTIPLE APPLICANTS AND
WAIVERS.  If this Agreement is signed by more than one person
and/or entity as an Applicant, this Agreement and the Applications of each such
person and/or entity shall be the joint and several agreement of all such
persons and/or entities and all references to "Applicant" or "Applicant's" in
this Agreement and the Applications shall refer to all such persons and/or
entities jointly and severally.  Whether this Agreement is signed by
one Applicant or more than one Applicant, you shall have no obligation to
disclose to any Applicant any information or material about any other Applicant
or any other person which you acquire in any manner.  Each Applicant
waives any right to require you to proceed against any other Applicant or any
other person, or marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security held
from any other Applicant or any other person.  Each Applicant waives
any defense to its liability in connection with any Credit or this Agreement
based upon or arising by reason of (a) any defense of any other Applicant or any
other person; (b) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other
than payment in full of such Applicant’s obligations under this Agreement, of
the liability of any other Applicant or of any other person in connection with
any Credit or this Agreement; (c) any act or omission by you which directly or
indirectly results in or aids the release or discharge of any other Applicant or
any other person by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs
or suspends any rights or remedies you may have against any other Applicant or
any other person, including, without limitation, the release by you of any
Guarantor or other person obligated in connection with any Credit or this
Agreement; (d) the release of any security for any indebtedness owed to you in
connection with any Credit or this Agreement; (e) the application of payments
received by you from any other Applicant or any other person obligated in
connection with any Credit or this Agreement to indebtedness of such other
Applicant or other person to you other than indebtedness in connection with any
Credit or this Agreement, and (f) any modification of the obligations or
liabilities of any other Applicant or any other person in connection with any
Credit or this Agreement.  Each Applicant waives all rights and
defenses it may have arising out of (A) any election of remedies by you, even
though that election of remedies destroys such Applicant’s rights of subrogation
or its rights to proceed against any other Applicant or any other person for
reimbursement, or (B) any loss of rights such Applicant may suffer by reason of
any rights, powers or remedies of any other Applicant or other person in
connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying
or discharging any such other Applicant's or other person’s indebtedness in
connection with any Credit or this Agreement, whether by operation of law or
otherwise.  Until all indebtedness of each Applicant to you arising
under or in connection with this Agreement or any Credit shall have been paid in
full, each Applicant waives any right of subrogation and any right to enforce
any remedy which you now have or may hereafter have against any other Applicant
or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in,
any security now or hereafter held by you.  If any waiver in this
Agreement is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy,
such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law.

    

    SECTION 22.  SEVERABILITY.  Any
provision of any L/C Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall be, only as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability, but all the remaining provisions of
such L/C Document and all the other L/C Documents shall remain
valid.

    

    SECTION 23.  HEADINGS.  The
headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
not define or limit the provisions of this Agreement.

    

    SECTION 24.  COMPLETE
AGREEMENT.  The entire agreement with respect to each
Credit will consist
of this Agreement and the Application for such Credit, together with any written
document or instrument signed by Applicant and you, or signed by Applicant and
approved by you, which specifically references such Credit, the Application for
such Credit, or this Agreement.  Except as specifically provided in
this Agreement, in any Application or in any written document or instrument
referred to in the preceding sentence, no statements or representations not
contained in this Agreement, such Application or such written document or
instrument shall have any force or effect on this Agreement, such Application or
such written document or instrument.

    

    UNLESS ANY CREDIT GOVERNED
BY THIS AGREEMENT IS ISSUED UNDER OR PURSUANT TO A LOAN DOCUMENT WHICH DOES NOT
HAVE TEXAS GOVERNING LAW, IF THE APPLICANT’S ADDRESS BELOW IS IN TEXAS, OR IF
THE APPLICANT’S HEADQUARTERS OR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS IN TEXAS, THE
FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS WILL APPLY

    

    Section Texas 1.  GOVERNING LAW.  This
Agreement and each Application, and Applicant's and your performance under this
Agreement and each Application, shall be governed by and be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

    

    Section Texas 2.  JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF
PROCESS.  Any suit, action or proceeding against Applicant
under or with respect to any L/C Document may, at your sole option, be brought
in (a) the courts of the State of Texas, (b) the United States District Courts
in Texas, (c) the courts of Applicant's jurisdiction of incorporation or
principal office, or (d) the courts of the jurisdiction where any Beneficiary,
any advising, confirming, negotiating, paying or other bank, or any other person
or entity has brought any suit, action or proceeding against you with respect to
any Credit or any Demand, and Applicant hereby submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding
or judgment and waives any other preferential jurisdiction by reason of
domicile.  The remaining provisions of Section 19 of this Agreement
will apply.

    

    Section Texas 3.  CERTAIN TRI-PARTY
ACCOUNTS.  Applicant and you agree that Chapter 346 of the
Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit accounts and
revolving tri-party accounts) shall not apply to any revolving loan accounts
created under, or maintained in connection with, this Agreement, any other L/C
Document, or any Loan Document.

    

    Section Texas 4.  BUSINESS
PURPOSE.  Applicant represents and warrants that all its
obligations and liabilities evidenced by the L/C Documents and the Loan
Documents are for a business, commercial, investment, agricultural or other
similar purpose and not primarily for a personal, family or household
purpose.

    

    Section Texas 5.  COMPLIANCE WITH USURY
LAWS.  It is Applicant's and your intention to comply strictly
with applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in any L/C Document or in any Loan Document, in no
event shall any L/C Document or any Loan Document require the payment or permit
the payment, taking, reserving, receiving, collection or charging of any sums
constituting interest under applicable laws that exceed the Maximum Rate
permitted by such laws, as the same may be amended or modified from time to
time.  If any such excess interest is called for, contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with any L/C Document or any
Loan Document or in any communication by you or any other person to Applicant or
to any other person, or in the event that all or part of the principal or
interest owing to you under any L/C Document or any Loan Document shall be
prepaid or accelerated, so that under any of such circumstances or under any
other circumstance whatsoever the amount of interest contracted for, charged,
taken, reserved or received on the amount of principal actually outstanding from
time to time under any L/C Document or any Loan Document exceeds the Maximum
Rate, then in such event it is agreed that (i) the provisions of this Section
shall govern and control, (ii) neither Applicant nor any other person or entity
now or hereafter liable for the payments under any L/C Document or any Loan
Document shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent it
is in excess of the Maximum Rate, (iii) any such excess interest which is or has
been received by you, notwithstanding this Section, shall be credited against
the then unpaid principal balance owing under any L/C Document or any Loan
Document, or if all amounts outstanding under any L/C Document or any Loan
Document have been or would be paid in full by such credit, refunded to
Applicant, and (iv) the provisions of the L/C Documents and the Loan Documents,
and any other communication by you or any other person to Applicant shall
immediately be deemed reformed and such excess interest reduced to the Maximum
Rate without the necessity of executing any other document.  The right
to accelerate the maturity of any amounts due under any L/C Document or any Loan
Document does not include the right to accelerate, collect or charge unearned
interest, but only such interest that has otherwise accrued as of the date of
acceleration.  Without limiting the foregoing, all calculations of the
rate of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in
connection with any L/C Document or any Loan Document which are made for the
purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Maximum Rate shall be made
to the extent permitted by applicable laws by amortizing, prorating, allocating
and spreading, during the period of the full term of such L/C Document or such
Loan Document, including, without limitation, all prior and subsequent renewals
and extensions of such L/C Document or such Loan Document, all interest at any
time contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by you.  The
terms of this Section shall be deemed to be incorporated into each L/C Document
and each Loan Document .  To the extent that either Chapter 303 or
306, or both, of the Texas Finance Code apply in determining the Maximum Rate,
you hereby elect to determine the applicable rate ceiling by using the weekly
ceiling from time to time in effect, subject to your right subsequently to
change such method in accordance with applicable law, as the same may be amended
or modified from time to time.

    

    Section Texas 6.  ALL THE L/C DOCUMENTS AND THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WHICH REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE
ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE L/C
DOCUMENTS OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE L/C
DOCUMENTS OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

      necessary for the manufacture of the Transferred Products, GoerTek shall
      pay the costs of repeat tooling up to a maximum amount of
      $80,000.  The parties intend that the transfer of the
      Transferred Products shall be completed within four months after
      Plantronics directs  GoerTek to begin manufacturing
      production.

      rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights,
      patents, or other intellectual property rights relating
      thereto.  GoerTek further agrees that GoerTek's obligation to
      execute or cause to be executed, when it is in GoerTek's power to do so,
      any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this
      Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
              18.4  

            	
              License.  GoerTek
      agrees that if in the course of performing this Agreement, GoerTek
      incorporates into any Invention developed hereunder any invention,
      improvement, development, concept, discovery or other proprietary
      information owned by GoerTek or in which GoerTek has an interest, GoerTek
      hereby grants, assigns and conveys to Plantronics a non-transferable,
      perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, world-wide, right and license,
      without obligation to account, to use such information for its and its
      affiliates' business purposes.  Any royalties in connection with
      the use of such intellectual property shall be reasonably negotiated
      between Plantronics and GoerTek in good
faith.

            

    

     

    
      	
              18.5  

            	
              Power
      of Attorney.  GoerTek agrees that
      if Plantronics is unable because of GoerTek's unavailability, dissolution,
      or for any other reason, to secure GoerTek's signature to apply for or to
      pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or
      copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to Plantronics
      above, then GoerTek hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Plantronics
      and its duly authorized officers and agents as GoerTek's agent and
      attorney in fact, to act for and on GoerTek's behalf to execute and file
      any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to
      further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright registrations
      thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by
      GoerTek.

            

    

     

     

    19.           SALE
AND DESIGN OF SIMILAR  PRODUCTS

    20.           MUTUAL
DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS; EXCLUSIVITY

     

           
20.1 GoerTek commitments to Plantronics.

     

    (a)   Development
Plan.  At such time as GoerTek and Plantronics agree that
GoerTek shall develop future Plantronics Products, the Parties shall prepare and
agree upon an engineering development plan (the “Development
Plan”).   The Development Plan shall identify the
Plantronics Engineering Team (as defined below) and other resources to be
applied by GoerTek towards the development of the Products.   The
Development Plan may identify product roadmaps, deliverables (“Deliverables”)
to be delivered by GoerTek and any applicable milestone dates (“Milestones”)
and other goals which the parties intend to achieve.  Each Party shall
provide such information and assistance to the other Party as the other Party
may reasonably request to accomplish the objectives of the Development
Plan.    Qualified technical personnel from each Party will
be available to the other Party during normal business hours and at such other
times as may be appropriate to achieve the objectives of the Development
Plan.

     

    (b)  Executive Sponsors. Within
seven (7) days after the date that GoerTek and Plantronics elect to develop
future Plantronics Products,  GoerTek shall, in consultation with
Plantronics, designate an engineering team dedicated solely to the development
and support of such Products. The engineering team shall contain a program
manager, an electrical engineer, and other engineers that may be necessary to
accomplish the Development Plan. The team may also include commodity managers
who will be responsible for coordinating manufacturing capacity and delivery
issues.  Each Party will appoint one (1) person at a senior management
level as the executive sponsor responsible for overall technical cooperation and
implementation of the Development Plan with the other Party (each an "Executive
Sponsor") and will provide the contact information for that Executive
Sponsor to the other Party.  Each Party may at any time replace its
Executive Sponsor (provided the replacement is a person with senior management
level responsibility) by providing written notice of such replacement to the
other Party. Unless agreed otherwise between the Executive Sponsors, they will
meet at least monthly (whether in person or via video or telephonic conference)
to discuss the Development Plan and to resolve any issues that may arise between
the Parties. In addition, the Executive Sponsors shall meet on a quarterly basis
to discuss at a high level the product roadmaps of both companies as well as
other matters that may be relevant to their mutual interests.  The
parties further agree that their respective program managers will be responsible
for managing the development process on a day to day basis.

     

    (c)  Priority. In the event of a
conflict with regard to the allocation of GoerTek’s
engineers,  manufacturing capacity and other resources between
Plantronics and GoerTek’s other customers, GoerTek will assign priority with
regard to the use of such resources to first support the  research,
development and manufacture of Plantronics Products.

     

    (d)  CVMI.  GoerTek will
participate in the Plantronics CVMI inventory management system, and will
provide Plantronics upon its request with information sufficient to review its
bill of materials with regard to any of the Products.

     

    (e)  Security.  GoerTek
agrees that it shall keep all Plantronics  Products in an area that is
secured from access by any unauthorized third parties and shall take all
reasonably necessary steps to ensure that such persons will not have access to
the Plantronics Products.   GoerTek agrees that it shall
establish a separate business unit that is solely responsible for manufacturing
Plantronics products under this Agreement and that members of that unit will not
share (i) any Plantronics intellectual property with any other employees of
GoerTek except on a strict need to know basis; and (ii) any Plantronics
intellectual property with any GoerTek employee who is working on any project
for any competitor of Plantronics including, without limitation, GN
Netcom/Jabra, Aliph/Jawbone or Motorola.   GoerTek further agrees
that it shall keep all Plantronics intellectual property secured and locked
within its premises  and access to such intellectual property shall be
limited only to those authorized employees who have a specific need to access
such intellectual property.  GoerTek further agrees that it shall not
expose any Plantronics Product designs developed either by Plantronics or by
GoerTek on behalf of Plantronics pursuant to this Agreement to any third party,
without Plantronics written approval.

    

    (f)  Termination of Manufacturing.
GoerTek hereby agrees to use its best efforts to terminate the manufacture and
distribution of all  Bluetooth headsets that carry the GoerTek brand
within six months after the Effective Date. GoerTek hereby agrees that all
direct and indirect distribution of such headsets shall terminate on or before
June 30, 2009.

     

    (g)  Manufacturing and Distribution
Restrictions.    GoerTek agrees that it shall not
manufacture, market, distribute, sell or resell any headsets that use Bluetooth
technology and that are integrated into or access  cell
phones,  personal computers or any other device to any of the
companies set forth on Appendix D hereof.   GoerTek further
agrees that the foregoing shall prohibit the indirect distribution of such
products to such entities  through any distributor, reseller, broker
or similar entity.   GoerTek shall immediately terminate the
manufacturing of any products for GN Netcom/Jabra, Aliph/Jawbone or
Motorola.

     

     (h)  Best ODM Services. GoerTek
shall use its best efforts to provide Plantronics with ODM services that are
more advantageous to Plantronics than equivalent services that it provides to
any other customer. This includes, among other things, the following: (i) first
priority in terms of the allocation of manufacturing capacity and research and
development funding for the Transferred Products; (ii) cost competitiveness;
(iii) time to market; (iv) product quality; (v) industry standards; (vi) product
support, if applicable; and (vii) the grant of a right of first refusal with
respect to any Bluetooth or corded headset  product
innovations.

     

        20.2  Plantronics
Commitments to GoerTek:

     

    (a)  Exclusive Manufacturing
Rights. Plantronics shall grant GoerTek the exclusive right for a twelve
(12) month period commencing upon the date of public announcement by
Plantronics, to manufacture the Transferred Products. For purposes of
clarification, such exclusivity shall extend to the life of any Product to which
GoerTek acquired exclusive rights within such twelve (12) month
period.  After the expiration of such exclusivity period, GoerTek
shall become a primary supplier of Plantronics.

    

     

    (b) Termination of Exclusive
Manufacturing Rights. The grant of exclusive manufacturing rights may be
terminated by Plantronics if GoerTek: (i) cannot meet Plantronics demand for
manufactured products; (ii) fails to meet Plantronics quality requirements;
(iii) fails to meet Plantronics product delivery deadlines; (iv) fails to
develop and manufacture products with competitive, “state of the art”
technology, or (v) materially breaches this Agreement, including any pricing
provisions contained herein.  The parties may define Subsections (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv) by setting forth the relevant metrics in each Development
and Manufacturing Program with respect to each Product. Plantronics may also
define such metrics by providing GoerTeck with reasonable written
notice.  Plantronics may not terminate GoerTek’s exclusive
manufacturing rights unless it shall have given GoerTek notice of breach of the
foregoing and a reasonable opportunity to cure which shall not exceed thirty
(30) days.

    

     

    (c) Plantronics Target.
Plantronics hereby agrees that it will target at least eight (8) million
Bluetooth  units of Products per year to be manufactured by GoerTek
pursuant to this Agreement. GoerTek recognizes that Plantronics may not meet
such target as a result of economic conditions, weakening demand or other
factors beyond Plantronics control.  GoerTek agrees that this level is
not a hard commitment to purchase such level of Products and, in the event that
Plantronics does not place orders with GoerTek in such an amount, it will have
not liability under this Agreement.

     

    (d)  Restrictions on Suppliers.
Plantronics hereby agrees that it will not use Foxlink/Foxconn as a supplier of
Bluetooth headsets and corded headsets unless GoerTek is unable to satisfy the
requirements of any RFP as described above or unless Foxlink/Foxconn has
technology that is unavailable to GoerTek. In the event that Plantronics
terminates GoerTek’s exclusive manufacturing rights as set forth in Subsection
(b) above or if such rights terminate under Subsection (a) above, it shall have
the right to terminate the limitation set forth in this Section.

    

        20.3.
Non-Solicitation. With the exception of GoerTek’s right to hire employees
under Article 23 hereof, both Parties hereby agrees that, during the Term and
for a one year period after the expiration or termination of the Term, they will
not hire or attempt to hire, on behalf any employee of the other; provided,
however, that the hiring of an employee in response to a general solicitation
shall not be deemed a breach of this section. In the event that a Party breaches
this covenant, it shall pay as liquidated damages to the other Party the sum
equal to the 12 months’ base compensation of the newly hired
employee.

     

     

    21.           INDEMNITY
AND INSURANCE

     

    21.1           Indemnity.  GoerTek agrees to
