ADVANCED FIBRE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

          AGREEMENT made as of this ___day of _______________19 ___,
by and between Advanced Fibre Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
and _____________________, a Participant in the Corporation’s 1996
Stock Incentive Plan.

          All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in this Agreement or in the attached Appendix.

     I. PURCHASE OF SHARES

          1. PURCHASE. Participant hereby purchases _________shares of
Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of the Stock
Issuance Program at the purchase price of $ ________ per share (the “Purchase
Price”).

          2. PAYMENT. Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to
the Corporation, Participant shall pay the Purchase Price for the Purchased Shares in cash or check payable to the Corporation and shall deliver a
duly-executed blank Assignment Separate from Certificate (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I) with respect to the Purchased Shares.

          3. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until such time as the Corporation
exercises the Repurchase Right, Participant (or any successor in interest)
shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend and
liquidation rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares, subject, however,
to the transfer restrictions of this Agreement.

          4. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Under no circumstances shall shares of
Common Stock or other assets be issued or delivered to Participant pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement unless, in the opinion of counsel for the
Corporation or its successors, there shall have been compliance with all
applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws, all applicable
listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which the Common Stock is at the time listed for trading and
all other requirements of law or of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction
over such issuance and delivery.

 

 

     A. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

          1. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Except for any Permitted Transfer,
Participant shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any
of the Purchased Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right.

          2. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. The stock certificate for the Purchased Shares shall be endorsed with the following restrictive legend:

     “The shares represented by this certificate are unvested and
subject to certain repurchase rights granted to the Corporation and
accordingly may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, or in
any manner disposed of except in conformity with the terms of a written
agreement dated _________, 199___between the Corporation and the
registered holder of the shares (or the predecessor in interest to the shares). A copy of such agreement is maintained at the Corporation’s
principal corporate offices.”

          3. TRANSFEREE OBLIGATIONS. Each person (other than the
Corporation) to whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a
Permitted Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such
transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Corporation that such person is bound
by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred shares are
subject to the Repurchase Right to the same extent such shares would be so
subject if retained by Participant.

     B. REPURCHASE RIGHT

          1. GRANT. The Corporation is hereby granted the right (the
“Repurchase Right”), exercisable at any time during the ninety (90)-day
period following the date Participant ceases for any reason to remain in
Service, to repurchase at the Purchase Price all or any portion of the
Purchased Shares in which Participant is not, at the time of his or her
cessation of Service, vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule (such
shares to be hereinafter referred to as the “Unvested Shares”).

          2. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right shall
be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested
Shares prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day exercise period. The
notice shall indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased and the
date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than
thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. The certificates
representing the Unvested Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the
Corporation prior to the close of business on the date specified for the
repurchase. Concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificates, the
Corporation shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash

2.

 

equivalent (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness),
an amount equal to the Purchase Price previously paid for the Unvested Shares
to be repurchased from Owner.

          3. TERMINATION OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right
shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not
timely exercised under Paragraph C.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right
shall terminate and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all
Purchased Shares in which Participant vests in accordance with the following
Vesting Schedule:

     (i) Upon Participant’s completion of one (1) year of Service
measured from _________, 199___, Participant shall acquire a vested
interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to,
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchased Shares.

     (ii) Participant shall acquire a vested interest in, and the
Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, the remaining Purchased
Shares in a series of thirty six (36) successive equal monthly
installments upon Participant’s completion of each additional month
of Service over the thirty-six (36)-month period measured from the
initial vesting date under subparagraph (i) above.

          4. RECAPITALIZATION. Any new, substituted or additional
securities or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular
cash dividend) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with
respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the
Repurchase Right, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time
covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution
shall be made to the number and/or class of securities subject to this
Agreement and to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the
Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such Recapitalization
upon the Corporation’s capital structure; PROVIDED, however, that the
aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

     5. CORPORATE TRANSACTION.

               (a) Immediately prior to the consummation of any Corporate
Transaction, the Repurchase Right shall automatically lapse in its entirety
and the Purchased Shares shall vest in full, except to the extent the
Repurchase Right is to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

               (b) To the extent the Repurchase Right remains in effect
following a Corporate Transaction, such right shall apply to the new capital
stock or other property (including any cash payments) received in exchange
for the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, but
only to the extent the Purchased Shares

3.

 

are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments shall be made
to the price per share payable upon exercise of the Repurchase Right to
reflect the effect of the Corporate Transaction upon the Corporation’s
capital structure; PROVIDED, however, that the aggregate purchase price shall
remain the same.

     C. SPECIAL TAX ELECTION

          1. SECTION 83(B) ELECTION . Under Code Section 83, the excess of
the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date any forfeiture
restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the Purchase Price paid for
such shares will be reportable as ordinary income on the lapse date. For
this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” includes the right of the
Corporation to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Repurchase
Right. Participant may elect under Code Section 83(b) to be taxed at the
time the Purchased Shares are acquired, rather than when and as such
Purchased Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. Such
election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30)
days after the date of this Agreement. Even if the fair market value of the
Purchased Shares on the date of this Agreement equals the Purchase Price paid
(and thus no tax is payable), the election must be made to avoid adverse tax
consequences in the future. THE FORM FOR MAKING THIS ELECTION IS ATTACHED AS
EXHIBIT II HERETO. PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT FAILURE TO MAKE THIS FILING
WITHIN THE APPLICABLE THIRTY (30)-DAY PERIOD WILL RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION
OF ORDINARY INCOME AS THE FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS LAPSE.

          2. FILING RESPONSIBILITY. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS
PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE CORPORATION’S, TO FILE A
TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE
CORPORATION OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.

     D. GENERAL PROVISIONS

          1. ASSIGNMENT. The Corporation may assign the Repurchase Right to
any person or entity selected by the Board, including (without limitation)
one or more stockholders of the Corporation.

          2. NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE CONTRACT. Nothing in this Agreement
or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in Service
for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict
in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary
employing or retaining Participant) or of Participant, which rights are
hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s Service at any
time for any reason, with or without cause.

4.

 

          3. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or
upon deposit in the U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and
properly addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address
indicated below such party’s signature line on this Agreement or at such
other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written
notice under this paragraph to all other parties to this Agreement.

          4. NO WAIVER. The failure of the Corporation in any instance to
exercise the Repurchase Right shall not constitute a waiver of any other
repurchase rights that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this
Agreement or any other agreement between the Corporation and Participant. No
waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or
different nature.

          5. CANCELLATION OF SHARES. If the Corporation shall make
available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this
Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such
time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer
have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive
payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such
shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions
hereof, and the Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such
shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as
required by this Agreement.

     E. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

          1. PARTICIPANT UNDERTAKING. Participant hereby agrees to take
whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the
Corporation may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect
one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Participant
or the Purchased Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

          2. AGREEMENT IS ENTIRE CONTRACT. This Agreement constitutes the
entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and
shall in all respects be construed in conformity with the terms of the Plan.

          3. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without
resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

          4. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

5.

 

          5. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its
successors and assigns and upon Participant, Participant’s assigns and the
legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate, whether or
not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and have
agreed in writing to join herein and be bound by the terms hereof.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the
day and year first indicated above.

ADDENDUM

TO

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

          The following provisions are hereby incorporated into, and are hereby made a part of, that
certain Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) by and between Advanced Fibre
Communications, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and [optionee name] (“Optionee”) evidencing the stock
option (the “Option”) granted this day to Optionee under the terms of the Corporation’s 1996 Stock
Incentive Plan, and such provisions shall be effective immediately.

          All capitalized terms in this Addendum, to the extent not otherwise defined herein, shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Option Agreement.

CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

          1. To the extent the Option is, in connection with a Corporate Transaction, either to be
assumed by the successor entity (or parent company) or to be replaced with a cash incentive program
in accordance with Paragraph 6 of the Option Agreement, the Option shall not vest on an accelerated
basis upon the occurrence of that Corporate Transaction, and the Option shall accordingly continue,
over Optionee’s period of Service after the Corporate Transaction, to become exercisable for the
Option Shares in one or more installments in accordance with the provisions of the Option
Agreement. However, immediately upon an Involuntary Termination of Optionee’s Service within
eighteen (18) months following such Corporate Transaction, the Option (or any replacement grant),
to the extent outstanding at the time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically vest
and become immediately exercisable for all the Option Shares at the time subject to the Option and
may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully vested shares.

          2. The Option shall not vest on an accelerated basis upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control, and the Option shall, over Optionee’s period of Service following such Change in Control,
continue to become exercisable for the Option Shares in accordance with the provisions of the
Option Agreement. However, immediately upon an Involuntary Termination of Optionee’s Service
within eighteen (18) months following the Change in Control, the Option, to the extent outstanding
at the time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically vest and become immediately
exercisable for all the Option Shares at the time subject to the Option and may be exercised for
any or all of those Option Shares as fully vested shares.

          3. The Option as accelerated under Paragraphs 1 or 2 shall remain so exercisable until the
earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period
measured from the date of the Optionee’s Involuntary Termination.

 

 

          4. For purposes of this Addendum the following definitions shall be in effect:

               (i) An Involuntary Termination shall mean the termination of Optionee’s Service
by reason of:

               (A) Optionee’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Corporation
for reasons other than Misconduct, or

               (B) Optionee’s voluntary resignation following (A) a change in
Optionee’s position with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing
Optionee) which materially reduces Optionee’s duties and responsibilities,
(B) a reduction in Optionee’s level of compensation (including base salary,
fringe benefits and target bonus under any performance based bonus or
incentive programs) by more than fifteen percent (15%) or (C) a relocation
of Optionee’s place of employment by more than fifty (50) miles, provided
and only if such change, reduction or relocation is effected by the
Corporation without Optionee’s consent.

               (ii) A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur in the event of a change in
ownership or control of the Corporation effected through either of the following
transactions:

               (A) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person or related
group of persons (other than the Corporation or a person that directly or
indirectly controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with,
the Corporation) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities possessing
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
Corporation’s outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer
made directly to the Corporation’s stockholders which the Board does not
recommend such stockholders to accept, or

               (B) a change in the composition of the Board over a period of
thirty-six (36) consecutive months or less such that a majority of the Board
members ceases, by reason of one or more contested elections for Board
membership, to be comprised of individuals who either (i) have been Board
members continuously since the beginning of such period or (ii) have been
elected or nominated for election as Board members during such period by at
least a majority of the Board members described in clause (i) who were still

executed by its duly-authorized officer as of the Effective Date specified below.
