Our Business
We are a leading supplier of core optical network technology to leading telecom equipment companies worldwide. We target telecom equipment manufacturers that integrate our optical technology into the systems they offer to the telecommunications carriers that are building, upgrading and operating high-performance optical networks. Telecom carriers are increasingly demanding greater levels of network capacity from their telecom equipment suppliers, our customers, in order to meet their rapidly growing network bandwidth requirements. We believe that the trend toward an increase in demand for optical solutions, which increase network capacity, is in response to growing bandwidth demand driven by increased transmission of video, voice and data over optical communication networks. Network carriers also seek to decrease the total cost of ownership of their networks and many of our advanced optical solutions, both now and potentially in terms of future optical technologies to enable new network architectures, can provide a level of flexibility and responsiveness consistent with supporting these goals. The rapid development of network infrastructure underway in developing countries is also driving growth in demand for optical solutions. Increasingly, internet service providers with their own wide area networks have similar requirements and are also becoming customers for our optical network products.
We design, manufacture and market optical components, modules and subsystems that generate, detect, amplify, combine and separate light signals in telecommunications networks. We are a leading supplier of optical products at the component level, including tunable lasers, pump lasers, external modulators, integrated lasers and modulators, receivers, and we are also a leading supplier of products at the module and subsystem levels, including transceivers, transponders, tunable dispersion compensation, amplifiers, wavelength selective switch (“WSS”) and controlled subsystems, including integrated reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (“ROADM”) line cards. Many of our products enable increased flexibility in optical telecom networks, making the networks more dynamic in nature.
Within our overall business, we also have specific product lines focused on the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of optics and photonics solutions for selected non-telecom markets. These products include high-power lasers targeted at material processing, consumer, medical, industrial and printing markets, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (“VCSELs”) targeted at consumer markets and thin film filter products targeted at biotechnology and other markets. Increasingly, customers outside of the telecom market are recognizing the value of optical technology to their products and end markets.

We believe that there is a long-term transition under way across many markets from use of electronics to use of light waves. We also believe that the proliferation of optical technology into new and emerging markets and our ability to be a viable supplier of differentiated technologies to larger laser system companies serving these markets helps drive our growth in related product lines. One such example is our recent introduction of fiber lasers which we believe may contribute to our customers’ ability to compete effectively in related markets with existing vertically integrated competitors.
Competitive Differentiation
We believe that the following competitive strengths have enabled us to establish our position as a leading provider of core optical network components, modules and subsystems:
   
Customer Ease of Use. We believe that providing innovative solutions to enhance our customers’ ease of doing business is critical to success, and this is at the core of our strategy. This includes exhibiting high standards of flexibility and quality and the ability to provide products ranging from standard components to advanced subsystems designed in partnership with our customers. We are a leading supplier of optical products at the component level, including tunable lasers, pump lasers, external modulators, integrated lasers and modulators and receivers. We are also a leading supplier of products at the module and subsystem levels, including transceivers, transponders, tunable dispersion compensation, amplifiers, wavelength selective switch and controlled subsystems, including integrated ROADM line cards. Our intellectual property (“IP”) leadership and vertically integrated manufacturing strategy enable us to deliver high performance, competitive solutions.
   
Optical Technology Leadership. We have extensive expertise in optical technologies including optoelectronic semiconductors, electronics design, firmware and software capabilities. Our expertise includes III-V optoelectronic semiconductors utilizing indium phosphide (“InP”), gallium arsenide and lithium niobate substrates. We have over 1,000 patents issued and our IP portfolio represents significant investment in the optical industry over the past 20 years. We believe our commitment to the optical industry and our IP and know-how represents a differentiated value proposition for our customers. We believe that we are positioned as the number one or number two supplier in many of our metro and long-haul telecom product areas, and that we have differentiated technology in the wavelength selective switching and ROADM markets where we are more recent market entrants.
   
Leading Photonic Integration Capabilities. Photonic integration, which is the combination of multiple functions or devices in one package or on one chip, is an important source of differentiation. Photonic integration can reduce the number of component elements, and thus the cost, of a solution, reduce the landscape of the required functionality, reduce the complexity of the corresponding integration of component elements and reduce overall power consumption of the related functionality. Our wafer fabrication facilities and process technologies position us to be a leader in delivering photonic integration. We believe that photonic integration will enable us to capture additional value in the optical network supply chain as customers demand increasing product integration and complexity to build the next generation network.
   
Vertically Integrated Manufacturing Approach. We operate three optical wafer fabrication facilities as well as a low-cost back-end assembly and test facility in China. Our vertical integration enables us to support and control all phases of the development and manufacturing process from chip creation, to component design, to module and subsystem production. We believe that our wafer fabrication facilities position us to introduce product innovations delivering optical network cost and performance advantages to our customers. We believe that our in-house control of this complete product lifecycle process enables us to respond more quickly to changing customer requirements, allowing our customers to reduce the time it takes them to deliver products to market. Furthermore, our ability to deliver innovative technologies in a variety of form factors, ranging from chip level to module level to subsystem level, allows us to address the needs of a broad base of potential customers regardless of their desired level of product integration or complexity.
   
Proven Ability to Expand into Other Optical Markets. We leverage our core optical expertise to enter attractive optical markets outside of telecom. We have become a leading merchant supplier of laser diodes, serving markets such as manufacturing, printing, medical and consumer and we have become a viable supplier of differentiated technologies to larger vertically integrated laser systems companies serving these markets. The corresponding product lines operate within our overall business, leveraging our telecom optical expertise, allowing us to increase fab utilization and providing revenue diversification.

Business Strategy
In order to maintain our position as a leading provider of core optical network components, modules and subsystems, we are continuing to pursue the following business strategies:
   
Maintain Focus on Core Optical Network. We are positioned as a key strategic supplier to the major telecommunications equipment companies and intend to continue to focus on enabling our customers to build equipment for the implementation of next generation core optical networks. Our optical IP and development expertise provides us with optical network insights that enable us to partner with our customers to continue to develop and deliver innovative optical solutions. We plan to continue to work with our customers to develop key technologies and expand our product offerings across the optical network.
   
Expand Position with Tier One Customers Through Technology Innovation and Manufacturing Flexibility. We believe we are a market leader in many of the market segments we address. Our combination of technology innovation and manufacturing flexibility enable us to deliver low-latency, high-performance products to our customers. We believe our customer-centric strategy will enable us to continue to gain share in our markets by innovating in partnership with our customers and delivering cost-effective solutions to them.
   
Extend Core Optical Product Differentiation. We plan to continue to invest in optical innovation in order to power the infrastructure required to serve the rapidly growing demand for bandwidth. Our photonic integration capability enables additional functionality of our products and we plan to continue to leverage this advantage to advance optical technology in the network. We also plan to evaluate acquisitions of and investments in complementary businesses, products or technologies in order to continuously improve our solutions for customers.
   
Match Global Engineering and Manufacturing Resources with Customer Demands. We believe our global engineering and manufacturing infrastructure enables us to deliver cost-effective solutions for our customers. We plan to continue to manage our manufacturing infrastructure in order to effectively meet customer demand for high-performance products and rapid time to market. We believe the scale of our manufacturing infrastructure can enable our margins to increase as our revenue grows due to limited incremental cost required to meet increasing demand. We also supplement our facilities with the use of contract manufacturers on a selective basis, enabling us to dynamically manage our production in the face of varying customer demand. We are currently evaluating the capabilities of additional potential contract manufacturing partners to ensure we have a scalable and cost effective manufacturing strategy appropriate for executing to our business objectives over a long-term horizon.
   
Leverage Optical Expertise to Address Other Optical Market Opportunities. We plan to continue to selectively enter and/or expand into non-telecom markets for optical products where we can leverage our optical expertise and our manufacturing infrastructure in order to provide differentiated products for our customers.
   
Consider the Use of Strategic Investment and Acquisitions to Maintain Optical Leadership Position. Our industry has historically been fragmented and characterized by large numbers of competitors. In addition to our internal development capabilities, we intend to continue to consider the use of acquisitions as a means to enhance our scale, obtain critical technologies and enter new markets. We have historically expanded our business through acquisitions where we have seen an opportunity to enhance scale, broaden our product offerings or integrate new technology. For instance, in addition to Oclaro’s formation from the April 27, 2009 merger of Bookham and Avanex, both of these predecessors have also participated in significant past merger and acquisition activities. Bookham’s acquisitions included, in particular, the Nortel Networks Optical Components business in 2002, the Marconi Optical Components business in 2002, and seven other acquisitions between 2003 and 2009. Our most recent acquisitions were the purchase of Xtellus, Inc. (“Xtellus”) in December 2009, which complemented and expanded our WSS product portfolio, and the purchase of Mintera Corporation (“Mintera”) in July 2010, which we believe will broaden our product portfolio for high-speed transmission solutions and will reinforce our position as one of the leading optical communications providers. In June 2010, we also made a minority investment in, and entered into a strategic marketing arrangement with, ClariPhy Communications, Inc. (“ClariPhy”), a designer of high-speed digital signal processors complementary to our optical components in 40 gigabits per second (“Gb/s”) and, in the future, 100 Gb/s applications.
Our Product Offerings
   
Tunable laser transmitters. Our tunable laser products include discrete lasers and co-packaged laser modulators to optimize performance and reduce the size of the product. Our tunable products at the component level include an InP tunable laser chip, a 10 Gb/s integrated tunable laser assembly (“iTLA”) and a 10 Gb/s co-packaged laser modulator tunable compact mach-zender. We also supply our tunable components into our customers’ 40 Gb/s products, and believe we are a primary supplier of these and related components into the 40 Gb/s solutions commercially available today.

Table of Contents

   
Fixed wavelength laser transmitters. Our fixed laser products include discrete lasers and co-packaged laser modulators to optimize performance and reduce the size of the product. Our fixed wavelength products at the component level are designed for both long-haul and metro applications at 2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s and include InP laser chips, a 10 Gb/s laser and a 10 Gb/s co-packaged laser and compact mach-zender modulator.
     
We believe that our ability to produce co-packaged, integrated transmitters, both tunable and fixed wavelength, many of which are sole-sourced to customers, demonstrates the advantages of InP photonic integration provided by our wafer fabrication facility in Caswell, U.K.
   
Lithium niobate modulators. Our lithium niobate external modulators are optical devices that manipulate the phase or the amplitude of an optical signal. Their primary function is to transfer information on an optical carrier by modulating the light. These devices externally modulate the lasers of discrete transmitter products including, but not limited to, our own standalone laser products. We are leaders in the market for 10 Gb/s modulators, and have recently introduced 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s modulators.
   
Receivers. Our portfolio of discrete receivers for metro and long-haul applications at 2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s includes avalanche photodiode (“APD”) preamp receivers, as well as PIN photodiode preamp receivers, and PIN and APD modules and products that feature integrated attenuators.
   
Transceivers. Our small form factor pluggable transceiver portfolio includes small-form factor pluggable (“SFP”) products operating at 2.5 Gb/s and XFP products operating at 10 Gb/s, including a tunable X2 extended product operating at 10 Gb/s. We have also introduced 10 Gb/s tunable XFP products, the volume production of which we expect to increase significantly during fiscal year 2012, and which we believe will be cost effective solutions and industry leading in terms of performance. We believe the photonic integration of our internal componentry represents a differentiator and a competitive advantage in our tunable XFP products.
   
Transponder modules. Our transponder modules provide both transmitter and receiver functions. A transponder includes electrical circuitry to control the laser diode and modulation function of the transmitter as well as the receiver electronics. We supply a small form factor tunable transponder at 10 Gb/s. We supply large form factor and small form factor 40 Gb/s transponders based on a differential phase shift keying (“DPSK”) modulation scheme and a 40 Gb/s polarization multiplexing quadrature phase-shift keying (“PM-QPSK”) transponder, also known as a coherent-based transponder. We believe the photonic integration of our internal componentry represents a differentiator and a competitive advantage in certain of these products.
   
Amplifiers. Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (“EDFAs”) are used to boost the brightness of optical signals and offer compact amplification for ultra long-haul, long-haul and metro networks. We offer a semi-custom product portfolio of multi-wavelength amplifiers from gain blocks to full card level or subsystem solutions designed for use in wide bandwidth wave division multiplexing (“WDM”) optical transmission systems. We also offer lower cost narrow band mini-amplifiers. 980 nanometer (“nm”) pump laser diodes are a key component of these products and they are mostly sourced internally from our own wafer fabrication facilities.
   
Pump laser chips. Our 980 nm pump laser diodes are designed for use as high-power, reliable pump sources for EDFAs in terrestrial and undersea, or submarine, applications. Uncooled modules are designed for low-cost, reliable amplification for metro, cross-connect or other single/multi-channel amplification applications and submarine applications.
   
Wavelength Management. Our wavelength management products include switching and routing solutions, multiplexing and signal processing solutions and micro-optics and integrated modules. These include products that optically add and drop transmission signals in both fixed and reconfigurable versions, including WSS products, which can be vertically integrated into ROADM line cards, products that optically multiplex or demultiplex signals based on thin film filters, planar and interleaver technologies, and products that optically attenuate signal power across a single or multiple wavelength bands.

Table of Contents

   
Dispersion Compensation Management. Our dispersion compensation product family consists of products that optically compensate for chromatic dispersion and dispersion degradation of transmission signals, including fixed and tunable products based on dispersion compensating fiber and cascaded etalons. We believe our tunable dispersion compensation products are deployed in the substantial portion of the non-coherent 40 Gb/s networks built today.
   
Thin Film Filters. Our thin film filter (“TFF”) products are used for multiplexing and demultiplexing optical signals within dense WDM transmission systems. In addition to this, TFF products are used to attenuate and control light within our amplifier product range. We also deploy our optical TFF technology to markets outside of telecommunications, with applications available in the life sciences, biotechnology and consumer display industries.
   
High Powered Laser Diode Products. We market advanced pump laser technology diodes for material processing, medical, cosmetic, 3-D imaging and printing applications. We are introducing fiber lasers which are being marketed to our laser systems customers. We are also exploring other new market opportunities for our high power lasers.
   
VCSEL Products. We sell low-power polarized products for optical mouse and finger navigation applications. Our market opportunities for VCSEL products are expanding to include optical data interconnectivity applications.
Customers, Sales and Marketing
We believe it is essential to maintain a comprehensive and capable sales and marketing organization. As of July 2, 2011, our sales and marketing organization, which included direct sales force, customer service, marketing communications and product line specific marketing employees, totaled 117 people for all of our products sold in Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the U.K., Japan and the United States. In addition to our direct sales and marketing organization, we also sell and market our products through international sales representatives and resellers that extend our commercial reach to smaller geographic locations and customers that are not currently covered by our direct sales and marketing efforts.
Many of our products typically have a long sales cycle. The period of time from our initial contact with a customer to the receipt of an actual purchase order is frequently a year or more. In addition, many customers perform, and require us to perform, extensive process and product evaluation and testing of components before entering into purchase arrangements.
We offer support services in connection with the sale and purchase of certain products, primarily consisting of customer service and technical support. Customer service representatives assist customers with orders, warranty returns and other administrative functions. Technical support engineers provide customers with answers to technical and product-related questions. Technical support engineers also provide application support to customers who have incorporated our products into custom applications.

Manufacturing
We leverage our own in-house manufacturing capabilities, which include our own wafer fabrication facilities in Europe and our facility in Shenzhen, China where we perform assembly and test operations. We are able to support and control all phases of the development and manufacturing process from chip creation to component design and all the way through module and subsystem production. We also utilize contract manufacturers on a selective basis to provide further flexibility and to complement our internal capabilities. Our wafer fabrication facilities in particular, we believe, position us to introduce product innovations delivering optical network cost and performance advantages to our customers. We also believe that our ability to deliver innovative technologies in a variety of form factors, ranging from chip level to module level to subsystem level, allows us to address the needs of a broad base of potential customers regardless of their desired level of product integration or complexity.
We believe our advanced chip and component design and manufacturing facilities would be very expensive to replicate. On-chip, or monolithic, integration of functionality is more difficult to achieve without control over the production process, and requires advanced process know-how and equipment. Although the market for optical integrated circuits is still in its early stages, it shares many characteristics with the semiconductor market, including the positive relationship between the number of features integrated on a chip, the wafer size and the cost and sophistication of the fabrication equipment. For example, we believe our 3-inch wafer InP semiconductor fabrication facility in Caswell, U.K. provides us a competitive advantage by allowing us to increase the complexity of the optical circuits that we design and manufacture, and the integration of photonics components within smaller packages, without the relatively high cost, power and size issues associated with less integrated solutions. We also believe that our pump laser gallium arsenide semiconductor fabrication facility in Zurich, Switzerland is one of the few facilities in the world offering the 980 nm pump laser diode capability required for most metro and long-haul optical amplification solutions.
Our manufacturing capabilities include fabrication processing operations for InP substrates, gallium arsenide substrates, lithium niobate substrates and thin film filters, including clean room facilities for each of these fabrication processes, along with assembly and test capability and reliability/quality testing. We utilize sophisticated semiconductor processing equipment in these operations, such as epitaxy reactors, metal deposition systems, photolithography, etching, analytical measurement and control equipment. Our assembly and test facilities include specialized automated assembly equipment, temperature and humidity control and reliability and testing facilities.
We have wafer fabrication facilities in Caswell, U.K.; Zurich, Switzerland and San Donato, Italy. We also have facilities in Shenzhen, China where we perform assembly and test operations, a thin film filter manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, California and a liquid crystal optical processor fabrication facility with associated assembly and test activities in Daejeon, South Korea. We also use third-party contract manufacturers in Thailand and China, principally Fabrinet in Thailand, and these activities are coordinated by our operations support team in Shenzhen, China. We also use a U.S.-based contract manufacturer to a lesser degree, on a specific product basis. For assembly and test, we believe that maintaining a strategy of utilizing both internal manufacturing and third party subcontractors maximizes the flexibility and leverage of our back-end processes. We are currently evaluating the capabilities of additional potential contract manufacturing partners to ensure we have a scalable and cost effective manufacturing strategy appropriate for executing our business objectives over a long-term horizon. As of July 2, 2011, our manufacturing organization was comprised of 2,346 people.
Research and Development
We draw upon our internal development and manufacturing capability to continue to create innovative solutions for our customers. We believe that continued focus on the development of our technology, and cost reduction of existing products through design enhancements, are critical to our future competitive success. We seek to expand and develop our products to reduce cost, improve performance and address new market opportunities, and to enhance our manufacturing processes to reduce production costs, provide increased device performance and reduce product time to market.
We have significant expertise in optical technologies such as optoelectronic semiconductors utilizing InP, gallium arsenide and lithium niobate substrates, thin film filters and micro-optic assembly and packaging technology. In addition to these technologies, we also have electronics design, firmware and software capabilities to produce transceivers, transponders, optical amplifiers, WSS, ROADMs and other value-added subsystems. We will also consider supplementing our in-house technical capabilities with strategic alliances or technology development arrangements with third parties when we deem appropriate. An example of this is our minority investment in, and strategic marketing arrangement with, ClariPhy, a developer of high-speed digital signal processors complementary to our optical components in 40 Gb/s and, in the future, 100 Gb/s applications. We spent $65.5 million, $41.5 million and $26.1 million on research and development during the years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively. As of July 2, 2011, our research and development organization was comprised of 464 people.

Table of Contents

Our research and development facilities are in Paignton and Caswell, U.K.; San Jose and Santa Rosa, California; San Donato, Italy; Zurich, Switzerland; Shenzhen and Shanghai, China; Horseheads, New York; Acton, Massachusetts; Tucson, Arizona; Denville, New Jersey and Jerusalem, Israel. These facilities include computer-aided design stations, modern laboratories and automated test equipment. Our research and development organization has optical and electronic integration expertise that facilitates meeting customer-specific requirements as they arise.
Intellectual Property
Our competitive position significantly depends upon our research, development, engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities, and not just on our patent position. However, obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights, including patents, provides us with a further competitive advantage. In the appropriate circumstances, these rights can help us to obtain entry into new markets by providing consideration for cross-licenses. In other circumstances they can be used to prevent competitors from copying our products or from using our inventions. Accordingly, our practice is to file patent applications in the United States and other countries for inventions that we consider significant. In addition to patents, we also possess other intellectual property, including trademarks, know-how, trade secrets, design rights and copyrights.
We have a substantial number of patents in the United States and other countries, and additional applications are pending. These relate to technology that we have obtained from our acquisitions of businesses and companies in addition to our own internally developed technology. As of July 2, 2011, we held 749 U.S. patents and 312 non-U.S. patents, and we had approximately 228 patent applications pending in various jurisdictions. Although our business is not materially dependent upon any one patent, our rights and the products made and sold under our patents, taken as a whole, are a significant element of our business. We maintain an active program designed to identify technology appropriate for patent protection.
We require employees and consultants to execute the appropriate non-disclosure and proprietary rights agreements. These agreements acknowledge our exclusive ownership of intellectual property developed for us and require that all proprietary information disclosed remain confidential. While such agreements are intended to be binding, we may not be able to enforce these agreements in all jurisdictions.
Although we continue to take steps to identify and protect our patentable technology and to obtain and protect proprietary rights to our technology, we cannot be certain the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology, especially in certain countries where the legal protections of intellectual property are still developing. We may take legal action to enforce our patents and trademarks and other intellectual property rights. However, legal action may not always be successful or appropriate. Further, situations may arise in which we may decide to grant intellectual property licenses to third parties in which case other parties will be able to exploit our technology in the marketplace.
We enter into patent and technology licensing agreements with other companies when management determines that it is in our best interest to do so, for example, see our risk factor “Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which could result in expensive litigation or require us to obtain a license to use the technology from third parties, or we may be prohibited from selling certain products in the future” appearing in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These may result in net royalties payable to us by third parties or by us to third parties. However, royalties received from or paid to third parties to date have not been material to our consolidated results of operations.
In the normal course of business, we periodically receive and make inquiries regarding possible patent infringement. In dealing with such inquiries, it may become necessary or useful for us to obtain or grant licenses or other rights. However, there can be no assurance that such licenses or rights will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are not able to resolve or settle claims, obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, and/or successfully prosecute or defend our position, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Competition
The optical communications markets are rapidly evolving. We expect these markets to continue to be highly competitive because of the available capacity and number of competitors. We compete with domestic and international companies, many of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. We believe that our principal competitors in the optical subsystems, modules and components industry include Finisar Corporation (“Finisar”), JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”), Oplink Communications, Inc. (“Oplink”) and Opnext, Inc. (“Opnext”), and vertically-integrated equipment manufacturers such as Fujitsu Limited and Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. The principal competitive factors upon which we compete include breadth of product line, availability, performance, product reliability, innovation and selling price. We seek to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by offering high levels of customer value through collaborative product design, technology innovation, manufacturing capabilities, optical/mechanical performance, intelligent features for configuration, control and monitoring, multi-function integration and overall customization. There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete favorably with respect to these factors. We encounter substantial competition in most of our markets, although no one competitor competes with us across all product lines or markets.
Our competitors also include laser diode suppliers such as DILAS Diode Lasers, Inc., Jenoptik AG, Coherent, Inc. and JDSU, some of which are captive suppliers to their own vertically integrated laser systems operations as well as suppliers to external customers, and some of which, like us, are merchant suppliers of laser diodes. Our competitors in VCSEL products include Avago Technologies.
Consolidation in the optical systems and components industry in the past has intensified, and future consolidation could further intensify, the competitive pressures that we face. For example, in addition to our merger with Avanex, our fiscal year 2010 acquisition of Xtellus and our fiscal year 2011 acquisition of Mintera, Finisar and Optium Corporation merged in 2008, Finisar acquired Ignis Optics in 2011 and Opnext acquired StrataLight Communications, Inc. in 2009. In the past, JDSU and Oplink have also expanded their businesses through acquisitions.
We also face competition from companies that may expand into our industry and introduce additional competitive products. Existing and potential customers are also our potential competitors. These customers may internally develop or acquire additional competitive products or technologies, which may cause them to reduce or cease their purchases from us.
Amendment and Restatement of Credit Facility
On July 26, 2011, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our senior secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. and the other lenders party thereto, which, among other things, increased the facility size from $25 million to $45 million and extended the term thereof to August 1, 2014. This amendment and restatement is more fully discussed in Note 16, Subsequent Event, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risk Factors
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, operations, liquidity and stock price materially and adversely. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below in addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of large operating losses and we may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.
We have historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of July 2, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,126.1 million. We incurred losses from continuing operations for the years ended July 2, 2011 and June 27, 2009, of $46.4 million and $25.8 million, respectively. Even though we generated income of $11.0 million from continuing operations for the year ended July 3, 2010, we may not be able to achieve profitability in any future periods. If we are unable to do so, we may need additional financing, which may not be available to us on commercially acceptable terms or at all, to execute on our current or future business strategies.
We may not be able to maintain gross margin levels.
We may not be able to maintain or improve our gross margins, due to the current economic uncertainty, changes in customer demand (including a change in product mix between different areas of our business) and pricing pressure from increased competition or other factors. During fiscal year 2011, our gross margin decreased as compared to fiscal year 2010. We attempt to reduce our product costs and improve our product mix to offset price competition and erosion expected in most product categories, but there is no assurance that we will be successful. Our gross margins can also be adversely impacted for reasons including, but not limited to, unfavorable production yields or variances, increases in costs of input parts and materials, the timing of movements in our inventory balances, warranty costs and related returns, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and possible exposure to inventory valuation reserves. Any failure to maintain, or improve, our gross margins will adversely affect our financial results, including our goal to achieve sustainable cash flow positive operations.
Our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted by general economic and financial market conditions and such conditions may increase the other risks that affect our business.
Over the past few years, the world’s financial markets have experienced significant turmoil, resulting in reductions in available credit, increased costs of credit, extreme volatility in security prices, potential changes to existing credit terms, rating downgrades of investments and reduced valuations of securities generally. In light of these economic conditions, many of our customers reduced their spending plans, leading them to draw down their existing inventory and reduce orders for our products. It is possible that economic conditions could result in further setbacks, and that these customers, or others, could as a result significantly reduce their capital expenditures, draw down their inventories, reduce production levels of existing products, defer introduction of new products or place orders and accept delivery for products for which they do not pay us due to their economic difficulties or other reasons. These actions could have an adverse impact on our own revenues. In addition, the financial downturn affected the financial strength of certain of our customers, including their ability to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, and could adversely affect additional customers in the future. Our suppliers may also be adversely affected by economic conditions that may impact their ability to provide important components used in our manufacturing processes on a timely basis, or at all.
These conditions could also result in reduced capital resources because of the potential lack of credit availability, higher costs of credit and the stretching of payables by creditors seeking to preserve their own cash resources. We are unable to predict the likely duration, severity and potential continuation of any disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries, but the longer the duration the greater the risks we face in operating our business.

Our success will depend on our ability to anticipate and respond to evolving technologies and customer requirements.
The market for telecommunications equipment is characterized by substantial capital investment, rapid and unpredictable changes in customer demand and diverse and evolving technologies. For example, the market for optical components is currently characterized by a trend toward the adoption of pluggable components and tunable transmitters that do not require the customized interconnections of traditional fixed wavelength “gold box” devices and the increased integration of components on subsystems. Our ability to anticipate and respond to these and other changes in technology, industry standards, customer requirements and product offerings and to develop and introduce new and enhanced products will be significant factors in our ability to succeed. We expect that new technologies will continue to emerge as competition in the telecommunications industry increases and the need for higher and more cost efficient bandwidth expands. The introduction of new products embodying new technologies or the emergence of new industry standards could render our existing products or products in development uncompetitive from a pricing standpoint, obsolete or unmarketable, which would negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant percentage of our revenues.
Historically, we have generated most of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Our dependence on a limited number of customers is due to the fact that the optical telecommunications systems industry is dominated by a small number of large companies. These companies in turn depend primarily on a limited number of major telecommunications carrier customers to purchase their products that incorporate our optical components. For example, in the years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, our three largest customers accounted for 36 percent, 29 percent and 38 percent of our revenues, respectively. Because we rely on a limited number of customers for significant percentages of our revenues, a decrease in demand for our products from any of our major customers for any reason (including due to market conditions, catastrophic events or otherwise) could have a materially adverse impact on our financial conditions and results of operations. For example, our revenues for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2011 were adversely impacted by a change in customer demand expectations, including a significant change in demand expectations from a particular major customer. Further, the industry in which our customers operate is subject to a trend of consolidation. To the extent this trend continues, we may become dependent on even fewer customers to maintain and grow our revenues.
The majority of our long-term customer contracts do not commit customers to specified buying levels, and our customers may decrease, cancel or delay their buying levels at any time with little or no advance notice to us.
The majority of our customers typically purchase our products pursuant to individual purchase orders or contracts that do not contain purchase commitments. Some customers provide us with their expected forecasts for our products several months in advance, but many of these customers may decrease, cancel or delay purchase orders already in place, and the impact of any such actions may be intensified given our dependence on a small number of large customers. If any of our major customers decrease, stop or delay purchasing our products for any reason, our business and results of operations would be harmed. Cancellation or delays of such orders may cause us to fail to achieve our short-term and long-term financial and operating goals and result in excess and obsolete inventory. For example, in mid-September 2010, we did experience certain deferrals and cancellation of orders which adversely impacted our financial results. In addition, our revenues for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2011 were adversely impacted by a change in customer demand expectations, including a significant change in demand expectations from a particular major customer.
We have significant manufacturing and research and development operations in China, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in China.
The majority of our assembly and test operations, chip-on-carrier operations and manufacturing and supply chain management operations are concentrated in our facility in Shenzhen, China. In addition, we have substantial research and development related activities in Shenzhen and Shanghai, China. To be successful in China we will need to:
   
qualify our manufacturing lines and the products we produce in Shenzhen, as required by our customers;
   
attract and retain qualified personnel to operate our Shenzhen facility; and
   
attract and retain research and development employees at our Shenzhen and Shanghai facilities.

Table of Contents

We cannot assure you that we will be able to do any of these.
Employee turnover in China is high due to the intensely competitive and fluid market for skilled labor. To operate our Shenzhen facility under these conditions, we will need to continue to hire direct manufacturing personnel, administrative personnel and technical personnel; obtain and retain required legal authorization to hire such personnel; and incur the time and expense to hire and train such personnel.
Inflation rates in China are higher than in most jurisdictions in which we operate. We believe that salary inflation rates for the skilled personnel we hire and seek to retain in Shenzhen and Shanghai are likely to be higher than overall inflation rates.
Operations in China are subject to greater political, legal and economic risks than our operations in other countries. In particular, the political, legal and economic climate in China, both nationally and regionally, is fluid and unpredictable. Our ability to operate in China may be adversely affected by changes in Chinese laws and regulations such as those related to, among other things, taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, intellectual property, currency controls, employee benefits and other matters. In addition, we may not obtain or retain the requisite legal permits to continue to operate in China, and costs or operational limitations may be imposed in connection with obtaining and complying with such permits.
We intend to continue to export the products manufactured at our Shenzhen facility. Under current regulations, upon application and approval by the relevant governmental authorities, we will not be subject to certain Chinese taxes and will be exempt from certain duties on imported materials that are used in the manufacturing process and subsequently exported from China as finished products. However, Chinese trade regulations are in a state of flux, and we may become subject to other forms of taxation and duties in China or may be required to pay export fees in the future. In the event that we become subject to new forms of taxation or export fees in China, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We may also be required to expend greater amounts than we currently anticipate in connection with increasing production at our Shenzhen facility. Any one of the factors cited above, or a combination of them, could result in unanticipated costs or interruptions in production, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
Our results of operations may suffer if we do not effectively manage our inventory, and we may incur inventory-related charges.
We need to manage our inventory of component parts and finished goods effectively to meet changing customer requirements. Accurately forecasting customers’ product needs is difficult. Our inventory balances increased to $102.2 million as of July 2, 2011 from $82.8 million as of January 1, 2011, even though quarterly revenues decreased to $109.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2011 from $120.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2011. The increase was partly as a result of actual customer demand decreasing from earlier forecast expectations. Some of our products and supplies have in the past, and may in the future, become obsolete while in inventory due to rapidly changing customer specifications or a decrease in customer demand. We also have exposure to contractual liabilities to our contract manufacturers for inventories purchased by them on our behalf, based on our forecasted requirements, which may become excess or obsolete. Our inventory balances also represent an investment of cash. To the extent our inventory turns are slower than we anticipate based on historical practice, our cash conversion cycle extends and more of our cash remains invested in working capital. If we are not able to manage our inventory effectively, we may need to write down the value of some of our existing inventory or write off non-saleable or obsolete inventory. We have from time to time incurred significant inventory-related charges. Any such charges we incur in future periods could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
We may undertake mergers or acquisitions that do not prove successful.
From time to time we consider mergers or acquisitions, collectively referred to as “acquisitions,” of other businesses, assets or companies that would complement our current product offerings, enhance our intellectual property rights or offer other competitive opportunities. However, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates at prices we consider appropriate. In addition, we are in an industry that is actively consolidating and, as a result, there is no guarantee that we will successfully and satisfactorily bid against third parties, including competitors, when we identify a critical target we want to acquire. Our management may not be able to effectively implement our acquisition plans and internal growth strategy simultaneously.

Table of Contents

We cannot readily predict the timing, size or success of our future acquisitions. Failure to successfully implement our acquisition plans could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Even successful acquisitions could have the effect of reducing our cash balances, diluting the ownership interests of existing stockholders or increasing our indebtedness. For example, our acquisition of Xtellus required an immediate issuance of a significant number of newly issued shares of our common stock. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we intend to issue approximately 0.9 million shares of our common stock related to the settlement of our Xtellus escrow liability. We could also choose to use shares of our common stock to pay certain earnouts associated with our acquisition of Mintera, should all, or portions, of these earnouts be achieved in the twelve and/or eighteen month periods subsequent to the acquisition date. We cannot predict with certainty which strategic, financial or operating synergies or other benefits, if any, will actually be achieved from any transaction we undertake, the timing of any such benefits, or whether those benefits which have been achieved will be sustainable on a long-term basis. Our failure to identify, consummate or integrate suitable acquisitions could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Acquisitions could involve a number of other potential risks to our business, including the following, any of which could harm our business:
   
failure to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of the acquisition;
   
increased costs associated with acquired operations;
   
economic dilution to gross and operating profit and earnings (loss) per share;
   
failure to successfully further develop the combined, acquired or remaining technology, which could, among other things, result in the impairment of amounts recorded as goodwill or other intangible assets;
   
unanticipated costs and liabilities and unforeseen accounting charges;
   
difficulty in integrating product offerings;
   
difficulty in coordinating and rationalizing research and development activities to enhance introduction of new products and technologies with reduced cost;
   
difficulty in coordinating and integrating the manufacturing activities of our acquired businesses, including with respect to third-party manufacturers, including executing a production capacity ramp up of our South Korea facility and our contract manufacturers to support the potential revenue demand for the WSS-related products of Xtellus, managing the manufacturing activities of the laser diode business acquired from Newport while these activities are being transferred from Tucson, Arizona to Europe and Asia, and transferring certain production of Mintera products to our internal facilities;
   
delays and difficulties in delivery of products and services;
   
failure to effectively integrate or separate management information systems, personnel, research and development, marketing, sales and support operations;
   
difficulty in maintaining internal control procedures and disclosure controls that comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or poor integration of a target’s procedures and controls;
   
difficulty in preserving important relationships of our acquired businesses and resolving potential conflicts between business cultures;
   
uncertainty on the part of our existing customers, or the customers of an acquired company, about our ability to operate effectively after a transaction, and the potential loss of such customers;
   
loss of key employees;
   
difficulty in coordinating the international activities of our acquired businesses;
   
the effect of tax laws due to increasing complexities of our global operating structure;

 

15


Table of Contents

   
the effect of employment law or regulations or other limitations in foreign jurisdictions that could have an impact on timing, amounts or costs of achieving expected synergies; and
   
substantial demands on our management as a result of these transactions that may limit their time to attend to other operational, financial, business and strategic issues.
Our integration with acquired businesses has been and will continue to be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate these businesses in a timely manner, or at all, or that any of the anticipated benefits from our acquisition of these businesses will be realized. We may have difficulty, and may incur unanticipated expenses related to, integrating management and personnel from these acquired entities with our management and personnel. Our failure to achieve the strategic objectives of our acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, expenses and our other operating results and cash resources and could result in us not achieving the anticipated potential benefits of these transactions. In addition, we cannot assure you that the growth rate of the combined company will equal the historical growth rate experienced by any of the companies that we have acquired. Comparable risks would accompany any divestiture of business or assets we might undertake.
Sales of our products could decline if customer and/or supplier relationships are disrupted by our recent acquisition activities.
The customers of acquired businesses, and/or of predecessor companies, may not continue their historical buying patterns. Customers may defer purchasing decisions as they evaluate the likelihood of successful integration of our products and our future product strategy, or consider purchasing products of our competitors.
Customers may also seek to modify or terminate existing agreements, or prospective customers may delay entering into new agreements or purchasing our products or may decide not to purchase any products from us. In addition, by increasing the breadth of our business, the transactions may make it more difficult for us to enter into relationships, including customer relationships, with strategic partners, some of whom may view us as a more direct competitor than any of the predecessor and/or acquired businesses as independent companies.
Competitive positions in the market, including relative to suppliers who are also competitors, could change as a result of an acquisition, and this could impact supplier relationships, including the terms under which we do business with such suppliers.
As a result of our recent business combinations, we have become a larger and more geographically diverse organization, with greater available market opportunities. If our management is unable to manage the combined organization efficiently, including the challenges of managing the growth potentially available from expanded market opportunities, our operating results will suffer.
As of July 2, 2011, we had approximately 3,085 employees in a total of 15 facilities around the world. As a result, we face challenges inherent in efficiently managing an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits and compliance programs. Our inability to manage successfully the geographically more diverse (including from a cultural perspective) and substantially larger combined organization could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and, as a result, on the market price of our common stock. Certain of these acquisitions have increased our serviceable available markets and scaling the company to address the growth potentially available from addressing these markets, and potentially available within our previously existing markets, creates additional challenges of a similar nature.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits from the transfer of wafer production from our Tucson, Arizona manufacturing operations we acquired from Newport to our European fabrication facilities.
Achieving the potential benefits of our July 4, 2009 acquisition from Newport of the laser diodes manufacturing operations in Tucson, Arizona depended in substantial part on the successful transfer of those manufacturing operations to our European fabrication facilities. We have faced significant challenges in transferring these operations in a timely and efficient manner. As a result of certain of these challenges, our opportunities to increase revenues in the corresponding business were limited in fiscal year 2011.

Table of Contents

While we have now successfully transferred those manufacturing facilities to our European fabrication facilities, we may continue to see limitations on the extent to which we can increase revenues in fiscal year 2012, and we have not yet achieved the desired yields and related cost savings. To the extent we were to conduct similar movements of product or production between manufacturing facilities in the future, we could see similar challenges and results.
Our products are complex and may take longer to develop than anticipated and we may not recognize revenues from new products until after long field testing and customer acceptance periods.
Many of our new products must be tailored to customer specifications. As a result, we are developing new products and using new technologies in those products. For example, while we currently manufacture and sell discrete “gold box” technology, we expect that many of our sales of “gold box” technology will soon be replaced by pluggable modules. New products or modifications to existing products often take many quarters or even years to develop because of their complexity and because customer specifications sometimes change during the development cycle. We often incur substantial costs associated with the research and development, design, sales and marketing activities in connection with products that may be purchased long after we have incurred such costs. In addition, due to the rapid technological changes in our market, a customer may cancel or modify a design project before we begin large-scale manufacture of the product and receive revenues from the customer. It is unlikely that we would be able to recover the expenses for cancelled or unutilized design projects. It is difficult to predict with any certainty, particularly in the present economic climate, the frequency with which customers will cancel or modify their projects, or the effect that any cancellation or modification would have on our results of operations.
As a result of our global operations, our business is subject to currency fluctuations that have adversely affected our results of operations in recent quarters and may continue to do so in the future.
Our financial results have been and will continue to be materially impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. At certain times in our history, declines in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the U.K. pound sterling have had a major negative effect on our margins and our cash flow. A significant portion of our expenses are denominated in U.K. pounds sterling and substantially all of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between these two currencies and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in which we collect revenues and/or pay expenses could have a material effect on our future operating results. For example during fiscal year 2011, the Swiss franc appreciated approximately 28 percent relative to the U.S. dollar, and the U.K. pound sterling appreciated 7 percent relative to the U.S. dollar, causing increases of approximately $3.1 million related to the Swiss franc and $4.4 million related to the U.K. pound sterling, respectively, in our annual manufacturing overhead and operating expenses. If the U.S. dollar stays the same or depreciates relative to the Swiss franc and/or U.K. pound sterling in the future, our future operating results may be materially impacted. Additional exposure could also result should the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan, the South Korean won, the Israeli shekel, or the Euro vary more significantly than they have to date.
We engage in currency hedging transactions in an effort to cover some of our exposure to U.S. dollar to U.K. pound sterling currency fluctuations, and we may be required to convert currencies to meet our obligations. These transactions may not operate to fully hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations, and under certain circumstances, these transactions could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers who could disrupt our business if they stopped, decreased, delayed or were unable to meet our demand for shipments of their products.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers of raw materials and equipment used to manufacture our products. We also depend on a limited number of contract manufacturers, principally Fabrinet in Thailand, to manufacture certain of our products. Some of these suppliers are sole sources. We typically have not entered into long-term agreements with our suppliers other than Fabrinet and, therefore, these suppliers generally may stop supplying us materials and equipment at any time. Our reliance on a sole supplier or limited number of suppliers could result in delivery problems, reduced control over product pricing and quality, and an inability to identify and qualify another supplier in a timely manner. Given the recent macroeconomic downturn, some of our suppliers that may be small or undercapitalized may experience financial difficulties that could prevent them from supplying us materials and equipment. In addition, our suppliers, including our sole source suppliers, may experience manufacturing delays or shut downs due to circumstances beyond their control such as earthquakes, floods, fires or other natural disasters.

Any supply deficiencies relating to the quality or quantities of materials or equipment we use to manufacture our products could materially adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and our results of operations. Lead times for the purchase of certain materials and equipment from suppliers have increased and in some cases have limited our ability to rapidly respond to increased demand, and may continue to do so in the future. These conditions have been exacerbated by suppliers, customers and companies reducing their inventory levels in response to the recent macroeconomic downturn. We are currently evaluating the capabilities of additional potential contract manufacturing partners to ensure we have a scalable and cost effective manufacturing strategy appropriate for executing our business objectives over a long-term horizon. To the extent we introduce additional contract manufacturing partners, introduce new products with new partners and/or move existing internal or external production lines to new partners, we could experience supply disruptions during the transition process.
In addition, Fabrinet’s manufacturing operations are located in Thailand. Thailand has been subject to political unrest in the recent past, including the temporary interruption of service at one of its international airports, and may again experience such political unrest in the future. If Fabrinet is unable to supply us with materials or equipment, or if they are unable to ship our materials or equipment out of Thailand due to political unrest, this could materially adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and our results of operations.
We may record additional impairment charges that will adversely impact our results of operations.
We review our goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable, and also review goodwill annually.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 we completed our annual first step analysis for potential impairment of our goodwill, which included examining the impact of current general economic conditions on our future prospects and the current level of our market capitalization. Based on this analysis, we concluded that goodwill related to our WSS reporting unit was impaired. Our WSS reporting unit’s goodwill was originally recorded in connection with our acquisition of Xtellus. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 we also completed our second step analysis of goodwill impairment, determining that the $20.0 million of goodwill related to our WSS reporting unit was fully impaired. Based upon this evaluation, we recorded $20.0 million for the goodwill impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011.
During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, we determined that the goodwill related to our previous New Focus and Avalon reporting units was fully impaired. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets for fiscal year 2009, net of $2.8 million associated with the discontinued operations of the New Focus business, amounted to $9.1 million.
As of July 2, 2011, we had $10.9 million in goodwill and $19.7 million in other intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet. In the event that we determine in a future period that impairment of our goodwill, other intangible assets or long-lived assets exists for any reason, we would record additional impairment charges in the period such determination is made, which would adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.
We may incur additional significant restructuring charges that will adversely affect our results of operations.
We have previously enacted a series of restructuring plans and cost reduction plans designed to reduce our manufacturing overhead and our operating expenses that have resulted in significant restructuring charges. Such charges have adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our results of operations for the periods in which such charges have been, or will be, incurred. Additionally, actual costs have in the past, and may in the future, exceed the amounts estimated and provided for in our financial statements. Significant additional charges could materially and adversely affect our results of operations in the periods that they are incurred and recognized.
For instance, we accrued $5.4 million and $2.2 million in restructuring charges during fiscal years 2009 and 2010, respectively, in connection with our merger with Avanex. On July 4, 2009, we completed the exchange of our New Focus business to Newport in exchange for Newport’s high powered laser diode business, which resulted in us incurring $0.5 million in restructuring charges in fiscal year 2010 in connection with the transfer of the Tucson manufacturing operations to our European facilities. During fiscal year 2011, we incurred $0.6 million in restructuring charges related to a restructuring plan specific to our acquisition of Mintera.

If our customers do not qualify our manufacturing lines or the manufacturing lines of our subcontractors for volume shipments, our operating results could suffer.
Most of our customers do not purchase products, other than limited numbers of evaluation units, prior to qualification of the manufacturing line for volume production. Our existing manufacturing lines, as well as each new manufacturing line, must pass through varying levels of qualification with our customers. Our manufacturing lines have passed our qualification standards, as well as our technical standards. However, our customers also require that our manufacturing lines pass their specific qualification standards and that we, and any subcontractors that we may use, be registered under international quality standards. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future, encounter quality control issues as a result of relocating our manufacturing lines or introducing new products to fill production. We may be unable to obtain customer qualification of our manufacturing lines or we may experience delays in obtaining customer qualification of our manufacturing lines. Such delays or failure to obtain qualifications would harm our operating results and customer relationships. We are currently evaluating the capabilities of additional potential contract manufacturing partners to ensure we have a scalable and cost effective manufacturing strategy appropriate for executing to our business objectives over a long-term horizon. To the extent we introduce new contract manufacturing partners and move any production lines from existing internal or external facilities the new production lines will likely need to be requalified with customers.
Delays, disruptions or quality control problems in manufacturing could result in delays in product shipments to customers and could adversely affect our business.
We may experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our manufacturing operations or the manufacturing operations of our subcontractors. As a result, we could incur additional costs that would adversely affect our gross margins, and our product shipments to our customers could be delayed beyond the shipment schedules requested by our customers, which would negatively affect our revenues, competitive position and reputation. Furthermore, even if we are able to deliver products to our customers on a timely basis, we may be unable to recognize revenues at the time of delivery based on our revenue recognition policies.
We may experience low manufacturing yields.
Manufacturing yields depend on a number of factors, including the volume of production due to customer demand and the nature and extent of changes in specifications required by customers for which we perform design-in work. Higher volumes due to demand for a fixed, rather than continually changing, design generally results in higher manufacturing yields, whereas lower volume production generally results in lower yields. In addition, lower yields may result, and have in the past resulted, from commercial shipments of products prior to full manufacturing qualification to the applicable specifications. Changes in manufacturing processes required as a result of changes in product specifications, changing customer needs and the introduction of new product lines have historically caused, and may in the future cause, significantly reduced manufacturing yields, resulting in low or negative margins on those products. Moreover, an increase in the rejection rate of products during the quality control process, before, during or after manufacture, results in lower yields and margins. For example, see the Risk Factor entitled “We may not realize the anticipated benefits from the transfer of wafer production from our Tucson, Arizona manufacturing operations to our European fabrication facilities” above. Finally, manufacturing yields and margins can also be lower if we receive or inadvertently use defective or contaminated materials from our suppliers. Any reduction in our manufacturing yields will adversely affect our gross margins and could have a material impact on our operating results.
Our intellectual property rights may not be adequately protected.
Our future success will depend, in large part, upon our intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, design rights, trade secrets, trademarks and know-how. We maintain an active program of identifying technology appropriate for patent protection. Our practice is to require employees and consultants to execute non-disclosure and proprietary rights agreements upon commencement of employment or consulting arrangements. These agreements acknowledge our exclusive ownership of all intellectual property developed by the individuals during their work for us and require that all proprietary information disclosed will remain confidential. Although such agreements may be binding, they may not be enforceable in full or in part in all jurisdictions and any breach of a confidentiality obligation could have a negative effect on our business and our remedy for such breach may be limited.

Our intellectual property portfolio is an important corporate asset. The steps we have taken and may take in the future to protect our intellectual property may not adequately prevent misappropriation or ensure that others will not develop competitive technologies or products. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not successfully challenge the validity of our patents or design products that avoid infringement of our proprietary rights with respect to our technology. There can be no assurance that other companies are not investigating or developing other similar technologies, that any patents will be issued from any application pending or filed by us or that, if patents are issued, that the claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to deter or prohibit others from marketing similar products. In addition, we cannot assure you that any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights under those patents will provide a competitive advantage to us or that our products and technology will be adequately covered by our patents and other intellectual property. Further, the laws of certain regions in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, including Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia and Latin America, may not be enforceable to protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, the U.K. and continental European countries. This is especially relevant now that we have transferred all of our assembly and test operations and chip-on-carrier operations, including certain engineering-related functions, from our facilities in the U.K. to Shenzhen, China.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which could result in expensive litigation or require us to obtain a license to use the technology from third parties, or we may be prohibited from selling certain products in the future.
Companies in the industry in which we operate frequently are sued or receive informal claims of patent infringement or infringement of other intellectual property rights. We have, from time to time, received such claims, including from competitors and from companies that have substantially more resources than us.
Third parties may in the future assert claims against us concerning our existing products or with respect to future products under development, or with respect to products that we may acquire through acquisitions. We have entered into and may in the future enter into indemnification obligations in favor of some customers that could be triggered upon an allegation or finding that we are infringing other parties’ proprietary rights. If we do infringe a third party’s rights, we may need to negotiate with holders of those rights in order to obtain a license to those rights or otherwise settle any infringement claim. We have from time to time received notices from third parties alleging infringement of their intellectual property and where appropriate have entered into license agreements with those third parties with respect to that intellectual property. Any license agreements that we wish to enter into the future with respect to intellectual property rights may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We may not in all cases be able to resolve allegations of infringement through licensing arrangements, settlement, alternative designs or otherwise. We may take legal action to determine the validity and scope of the third-party rights or to defend against any allegations of infringement. The recent economic downturn could result in holders of intellectual property rights becoming more aggressive in alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights and we may be the subject of such claims asserted by a third party. In the course of pursuing any of these means or defending against any lawsuits filed against us, we could incur significant costs and diversion of our resources and our management’s attention. Due to the competitive nature of our industry, it is unlikely that we could increase our prices to cover such costs. In addition, such claims could result in significant penalties or injunctions that could prevent us from selling some of our products in certain markets or result in settlements or judgments that require payment of significant royalties or damages.
If we fail to obtain the right to use the intellectual property rights of others necessary to operate our business, our business and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Certain companies in the telecommunications and optical components markets in which we sell our products have experienced frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Numerous patents in these industries are held by others, including academic institutions and our competitors. Optical component suppliers may seek to gain a competitive advantage or other third parties, inside or outside our market, may seek an economic return on their intellectual property portfolios by making infringement claims against us. We currently in-license certain intellectual property of third parties, and in the future, we may need to obtain license rights to patents or other intellectual property held by others to the extent necessary for our business. Unless we are able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, patents or other intellectual property held by others could be used to inhibit or prohibit our production and sale of existing products and our development of new products for our markets. Licenses granting us the right to use third-party technology may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Generally, a license, if granted, would include payments of up-front fees, ongoing royalties or both. These payments or other terms could have a significant adverse impact on our operating results. In addition, in the event we are granted such a license, it is likely such license would be non-exclusive and other parties, including competitors, may be able to utilize such technology. Our larger competitors may be able to obtain licenses or cross-license their technology on better terms than we can, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, our larger competitors may be able to buy such technology and preclude us from licensing or using such technology.

The inability to obtain government licenses and approvals for desired international trading activities or technology transfers may prevent the profitable operation of our business.
Many of our present and future business activities are subject to licensing by the United States government under the Export Administration Act, the Export Administration Regulations and other laws, regulations and requirements governing international trade and technology transfer. We presently manufacture products in China and Thailand that require such licenses. The profitable operations of our business may require the continuity of these licenses and may require further licenses and approvals for future products in these and other countries. However, there is no certainty to the continuity of these licenses, nor that further desired licenses and approvals may be obtained.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, which could result in lost sales and lower revenues.
The market for optical components and modules is highly competitive and this competition could result in our existing customers moving their orders to our competitors. We are aware of a number of companies that have developed or are developing optical component products, including tunable lasers, pluggables, wavelength selective switches and thin film filter products, among others, that compete directly with our current and proposed product offerings.
Certain of our competitors may be able to more quickly and effectively:
   
develop or respond to new technologies or technical standards;
   
react to changing customer requirements and expectations;
   
devote needed resources to the development, production, promotion and sale of products; and
   
deliver competitive products at lower prices.
Some of our current competitors, as well as some of our potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry alliances and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. In addition, market leaders in industries such as semiconductor and data communications, who may also have significantly more resources than we do, may in the future enter our market with competing products. Our competitors and new Chinese companies are establishing manufacturing operations in China to take advantage of comparatively low manufacturing costs. All of these risks may be increased if the market were to further consolidate through mergers or other business combinations between competitors.
We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors and aggressive competition in the market may result in lower prices for our products and/or decreased gross margins. Any such development could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We generate a significant portion of our revenues internationally and therefore are subject to additional risks associated with the extent of our international operations.
For fiscal years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, 17 percent, 19 percent and 20 percent of our revenues, respectively, were derived from sales to customers located in the United States and 83 percent, 81 percent and 80 percent of our revenues, respectively, were derived from sales to customers located outside the United States. We are subject to additional risks related to operating in foreign countries, including:
   
currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenues;
   
greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection and longer collection periods;

Table of Contents

   
difficulty in enforcing or adequately protecting our intellectual property;
   
ability to hire qualified candidates;
   
foreign taxes;
   
political, legal and economic instability in foreign markets;
   
foreign regulations;
   
changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements;
   
trade restrictions, including restrictions imposed by the United States government on trading with parties in foreign countries;
   
transportation delays;
   
epidemics and illnesses;
   
terrorism and threats of terrorism;
   
work stoppages and infrastructure problems due to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters;
   
work stoppages related to employee dissatisfaction;
   
changes in import/export regulations, tariffs, and freight rates; and
   
the effective protections of, and the ability to enforce, contractual arrangements.
Any of these risks, or any other risks related to our foreign operations, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income tax returns could adversely affect our results.
Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher statutory rates, by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these continuous examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
We may face product liability claims.
Despite quality assurance measures, defects may occur in our products. The occurrence of any defects in our products could give rise to liability for damages caused by such defects, including consequential damages. Such defects could, moreover, impair market acceptance of our products. Both could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, we may assume product warranty liabilities related to companies we acquire, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In order to mitigate the risk of liability for damages, we carry product liability insurance with a $25.0 million aggregate annual limit and errors and omissions insurance with a $5.0 million annual limit. We cannot assure you that this insurance would adequately cover our costs arising from any defects in our products or otherwise.

If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our business could suffer.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Competition for highly skilled technical personnel is extremely intense and we continue to face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified engineers in many areas of our business. We may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure. Our future success also depends on the continued contributions of our executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. The loss of services of these or other executive officers or key personnel or the inability to continue to attract qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In addition, certain employees of companies we have acquired that are now employed by us may decide to no longer work for us with little or no notice for a number of reasons, including dissatisfaction with our corporate culture, compensation, and new roles or responsibilities, among others.
Our business and operating results may be adversely affected by natural disasters or other catastrophic events beyond our control.
Our business and operating results are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires and floods, as well as other events beyond our control such as power loss, telecommunications failures and uncertainties arising out of terrorist attacks in the United States and armed conflicts overseas. Our corporate headquarters and a portion of our research and development and manufacturing operations are located in Silicon Valley, California. This region in particular has been vulnerable to natural disasters, such as earthquakes. The occurrence of any of these events could pose physical risks to our property and personnel, which may adversely affect our ability to produce and deliver products to our customers. Although we presently maintain insurance against certain of these events, we cannot be certain that our insurance will be adequate to cover any damage sustained by us or by our customers.
Risks Related to Regulatory Compliance and Litigation
We are subject to anti-corruption laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA. Our failure to comply with these laws could result in penalties which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to the FCPA, which generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits, along with various other anticorruption laws. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure that we, our employees and other intermediaries comply with the FCPA and other anticorruption laws to which we are subject, there is no assurance that such policies or procedures will work effectively all of the time or protect us against liability under the FCPA or other laws for actions taken by our employees and other intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we may acquire. We have manufacturing operations in China and other jurisdictions, many of which pose elevated risks of anti-corruption violations, and we export our products for sale internationally. This puts us in frequent contact with persons who may be considered “foreign officials” under the FCPA, resulting in an elevated risk of potential FCPA violations. If we are not in compliance with the FCPA and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities (including local laws), we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Any investigation of any potential violations of the FCPA or other anticorruption laws by U.S. or foreign authorities could harm our reputation and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A lack of effective internal control over our financial reporting could result in an inability to report our financial results accurately, which could lead to a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements or otherwise cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and our stock price, and we could be subject to stockholder litigation as a result. Even if we are able to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the costs of doing business may increase and our management may be required to dedicate greater time and resources to that effort. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future, acquire companies that have either experienced material weaknesses in their internal controls over financial reporting or have had no previous reporting obligations under Sarbanes-Oxley. Failure to integrate acquired businesses into our internal controls over financial reporting could cause those controls to fail.

Litigation may substantially increase our costs and harm our business.
We are a party to numerous lawsuits and will continue to incur legal fees and other costs related thereto, including potentially expenses for the reimbursement of legal fees of officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The expense of continuing to defend such litigation may be significant. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any defense. Further, the amount of time that will be required to resolve these lawsuits is unpredictable and these actions may divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters that may arise from time to time could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
For a description of our current material litigation, see Part I, Item 3 — Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, from time to time, we have been a party to certain intellectual property infringement litigation as more fully described above under “Risks Related to Our Business — Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which could result in expensive litigation or require us to obtain a license to use the technology from third parties, or we may be prohibited from selling certain products in the future.”
Our business involves the use of hazardous materials, and we are subject to environmental and import/export laws and regulations that may expose us to liability and increase our costs.
We historically handled hazardous materials as part of our manufacturing activities. Consequently, our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, the use and handling of hazardous substances and waste disposal. We may incur costs to comply with current or future environmental laws. As with other companies engaged in manufacturing activities that involve hazardous materials, a risk of environmental liability is inherent in our manufacturing activities, as is the risk that our facilities will be shut down in the event of a release of hazardous waste, or that we would be subject to extensive monetary liabilities. The costs associated with environmental compliance or remediation efforts or other environmental liabilities could adversely affect our business. Under applicable European Union regulations, we, along with other electronics component manufacturers, are prohibited from using lead and certain other hazardous materials in our products. We could lose business or face product returns if we fail to maintain these requirements properly.
In addition, the sale and manufacture of certain of our products require on-going compliance with governmental security and import/export regulations. We may, in the future, be subject to investigation which may result in fines for violations of security and import/export regulations. Furthermore, any disruptions of our product shipments in the future, including disruptions as a result of efforts to comply with governmental regulations, could adversely affect our revenues, gross margins and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
A variety of factors could cause the trading price of our common stock to be volatile or to decline and we may incur significant costs from class action litigation due to our expected stock volatility.
The trading price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile. Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to rise and fall. In addition to the matters discussed in other risk factors included herein, some of the reasons for the fluctuations in our stock price are:
   
fluctuations in our results of operations, including our gross margins;
   
changes in our business, operations or prospects;

 

24


Table of Contents

   
hiring or departure of key personnel;
   
new contractual relationships with key suppliers or customers by us or our competitors;
   
proposed acquisitions by us or our competitors;
   
financial results or projections that fail to meet public market analysts’ expectations and changes in stock market analysts’ recommendations regarding us, other optical technology companies or the telecommunication industry in general;
   
future sales of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock;
   
adverse judgments or settlements obligating us to pay damages;
   
future issuances of common stock in connection with acquisitions or other transactions;
   
acts of war, terrorism, or natural disasters;
   
industry, domestic and international market and economic conditions, including the global macroeconomic downturn over the last three years and related sovereign debt issues in certain parts of the world;
   
low trading volume in our stock;
   
developments relating to patents or property rights; and
   
government regulatory changes.
In connection with our acquisition of Mintera in July 2010, we may pay up to $20.0 million in additional revenue-based consideration to former stockholders of Mintera, determined based on a set of sliding scale formulas, to the extent revenue from Mintera products is more than $29.0 million in the 12 months following the acquisition and/or more than $40.0 million in the 18 months following the acquisition. Achieving cumulative revenues of $40.0 million over the 12 months and $70.0 million over the 18 month period following the acquisition would lead to the maximum $20.0 million in additional consideration. This earnout consideration, if any, will be payable in cash or, at our option, newly issued shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The issuance, if any, and subsequent sale of these shares, would dilute our existing stockholders and potentially have a negative impact on our stock price.
In connection with our acquisition of Xtellus in December 2009, we were obligated to pay an additional $7.0 million in consideration to the former Xtellus stockholders after an 18 month escrow period established to secure the indemnification obligations of the Xtellus stockholders under the acquisition agreement. We issued approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock into a third-party escrow account to secure our obligation under the escrow agreement. The $7.0 million became payable in June 2011. This obligation remained outstanding as of July 2, 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we intend to settle this obligation through issuance of approximately 0.9 million shares of our common stock. This issuance and the subsequent sale of these shares will dilute our existing stockholders and could potentially have a negative impact on our stock price.
Our shares of common stock have experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations, in many cases without any direct relationship to our operating performance. An outgrowth of this market volatility is the significant vulnerability of our stock price to any actual or perceived fluctuation in the strength of the markets we serve, regardless of the actual consequence of such fluctuations. As a result, the market price for our stock is highly volatile. These broad market and industry factors have caused the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, and may in the future cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We are subject to pending securities class action and shareholder derivative legal proceedings.
When the market price of a stock experiences a sharp decline, as our stock price recently has, holders of that stock have occasionally brought securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. Several securities class action lawsuits have been filed against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors. Each purported derivative complaint alleges, among other things, counts for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste, and unjust enrichment. For a description of these lawsuits, see Part I, Item 3 — Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These lawsuits will likely divert the time and attention of our management. In addition, if these suits are resolved in a manner adverse to us, the damages we could be required to pay may be substantial and could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and our ability to operate our business.
Fluctuations in our operating results could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our revenues and other operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future. The timing of order placement, size of orders and satisfaction of contractual customer acceptance criteria, changes in the pricing of our products due to competitive pressures as well as order or shipment delays or deferrals, with respect to our products, may cause material fluctuations in revenues. Our lengthy sales cycle, which may extend to more than one year, may cause our revenues and operating results to vary from period to period and it may be difficult to predict the timing and amount of any variation. Delays or deferrals in purchasing decisions by our customers may increase as we develop new or enhanced products for new markets, including data communications, industrial, research, consumer and biotechnology markets. Our current and anticipated future dependence on a small number of customers increases the revenue impact of each such customer’s decision to delay or defer purchases from us, or decision not to purchase products from us. Our expense levels in the future will be based, in large part, on our expectations regarding future revenue sources and, as a result, operating results for any quarterly period in which material orders fail to occur, or are delayed or deferred, could vary significantly.
Because of these and other factors, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be indicative of our future performance. In future periods, our results of operations may differ, in some cases materially, from the estimates of public market analysts and investors. Such a discrepancy, or our failure to meet published financial projections, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
We may not be able to raise capital when desired on favorable terms without dilution to our stockholders, or at all.
The rapidly changing industry in which we operate, the length of time between developing and introducing a product to market and frequent changing customer specifications for products, among other things, makes our prospects difficult to evaluate. It is possible that we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or be able to draw down on our $45.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or otherwise have sufficient capital resources to meet our future capital needs. If this occurs, we may need additional financing to execute on our current or future business strategies.
If we raise funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or convertible debt securities, our stockholders may be significantly diluted, and these newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of securities held by existing stockholders. If we raise funds through the issuance of debt instruments, the agreements governing such debt instruments may contain covenant restrictions that limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt, assume obligations in connection with letters of credit, or issue guarantees; (ii) create liens; (iii) make certain investments or acquisitions; (iv) enter into transactions with our affiliates; (v) sell certain assets; (vi) redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments; (vii) declare or pay dividends or make other distributions to stockholders; and (viii) merge or consolidate with any entity. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, if and when needed, our ability to fund our operations, develop or enhance our products, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and operate effectively could be significantly limited.
Because we do not intend to pay dividends, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value.
We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We anticipate that we will retain any future earnings to support operations and to finance the development of our business and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares.

We can issue shares of preferred stock that may adversely affect your rights as a stockholder of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time-to-time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of holders of our common stock. For example, an issuance of shares of preferred stock could:
   
adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock;
   
make it more difficult for a third-party to gain control of us;
   
discourage bids for our common stock at a premium;
   
limit or eliminate any payments that the holders of our common stock could expect to receive upon our liquidation; or
   
otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We may in the future issue shares of authorized preferred stock at any time.
Delaware law and our charter documents contain provisions that could discourage or prevent a potential takeover, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders.
Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable. These include provisions:
   
authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock;
   
prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;
   
limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;
   
prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent;
   
creating a classified board of directors pursuant to which our directors are elected for staggered three-year terms;
   
permitting the board of directors to increase the size of the board and to fill vacancies;
   
requiring a super-majority vote of our stockholders to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and
   
establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings.
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which limit the right of a corporation to engage in a business combination with a holder of 15 percent or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting securities, or certain affiliated persons. We do not currently have a stockholder rights plan in place.
Although we believe that these charter and bylaw provisions, and provisions of Delaware law, provide an opportunity for the board to assure that our stockholders realize full value for their investment, they could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, even under circumstances that some stockholders may consider beneficial.

Item 3.  
Legal Proceedings
On June 26, 2001, the first of a number of securities class actions was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against New Focus, Inc., now known as Oclaro Photonics, Inc. (“New Focus”), certain of our officers and directors, and certain underwriters for New Focus’ initial and secondary public offerings. A consolidated amended class action complaint, captioned In re New Focus, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ. 5822, was filed on April 20, 2002. The complaint generally alleges that various underwriters engaged in improper and undisclosed activities related to the allocation of shares in New Focus’ initial public offering and seeks unspecified damages for claims under the Exchange Act on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of common stock from May 17, 2000 to December 6, 2000.
The lawsuit against New Focus is coordinated for pretrial proceedings with a number of other pending litigations challenging underwriter practices in over 300 cases, as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS), including actions against Bookham Technology plc, now known as Oclaro Technology Ltd (“Bookham Technology”) and Avanex Corporation, now known as Oclaro (North America), Inc. (“Avanex”), and certain of each entity’s respective officers and directors, and certain of the underwriters of their public offerings. In October 2002, the claims against the directors and officers of New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex were dismissed, without prejudice, subject to the directors’ and officers’ execution of tolling agreements.

The parties have reached a global settlement of the litigation. On October 5, 2009, the Court entered an order certifying a settlement class and granting final approval of the settlement. Under the settlement, the insurers will pay the full amount of the settlement share allocated to New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, and New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex will bear no financial liability. New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, as well as the officer and director defendants who were previously dismissed from the action pursuant to tolling agreements, will receive complete dismissals from the case. Certain objectors have appealed the Court’s October 5, 2009 order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. If for any reason the settlement does not become effective, we believe that Bookham Technology, New Focus and Avanex have meritorious defenses to the claims and therefore believe that such claims will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 6, 2010, a bankruptcy preferential transfer avoidance action was filed by Nortel Networks Inc. et al. against Oclaro Technology Ltd. (formerly Bookham Technology Plc.) and Oclaro (North America), Inc. (formerly Avanex Corporation) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Adversary Proceeding No. 10-55919-KG. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Nortel Networks Inc., and/or its affiliated debtors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases also pending before the Delaware Bankruptcy Court (Jointly Administered Case No. 09-10138-KG), made at least $4,593,152 in preferential transfers to the defendants’ predecessors, Bookham Technology Plc. and Avanex Corporation, in the 90 days prior to the commencement of the Nortel Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases on January 14, 2009. We intend to vigorously contest the claims set forth in the complaint.
On May 19, 2011, Curtis and Charlotte Westley filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against us and certain of our officers and directors, allegedly on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between May 6 and October 27, 2010. The complaint, captioned as Westley v. Oclaro, Inc., No. 11 Civ. 2448 EMC (N.D. Cal. filed May 19, 2011), alleges generally that defendants issued materially false and misleading statements during the relevant time period regarding our current business and financial condition, including projections for our revenues, earnings, and gross margins, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as well as the full fiscal year. The complaint alleges violations of section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, as well as section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. The complaint seeks damages and costs of an unspecified amount. Discovery has not commenced, and no trial has been scheduled in this action. We intend to defend this litigation vigorously.
On June 10, 2011, a purported shareholder, Stanley Moskal, filed a purported derivative action in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara, against us, as nominal defendant, and certain of our current and former officers and directors, as defendants. The case is styled Moskal v. Couder, No. 1:11 CV 202880 (Santa Clara County Super. Ct. filed June 10, 2011). Four other purported shareholders, Matteo Guindani, Jermaine Coney, Jefferson Braman and Toby Aguilar, separately filed substantially similar lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on June 27, June 28, July 7 and July 26, 2011, respectively. The cases are styled Guindani v. Couder, No. 11 Civ. 3176 PSG (N.D. Cal. filed June 27, 2011), Coney v. Couder, No. 11 Civ. 3214 HRL (N.D. Cal. filed June 28, 2011), and Braman v. Couillaud, No. 11 Civ. 3322 RS (N.D. Cal. filed July 7, 2011), and Aguilar v. Couillaud, No. 11 Civ. 3668 EDL (N.D. Cal. filed July 26, 2011). Each purported derivative complaint alleges that Oclaro has been, or will be, damaged by the actions alleged in the Westley complaint, and the litigation of the Westley action, and any damages or settlement paid in the Westley action. Each purported derivative complaint alleges counts for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste, and unjust enrichment. Additionally, the complaint in Aguilar alleges claims for contribution pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Securities and Exchange Act, and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. Each purported derivative complaint seeks damages and costs of an unspecified amount, as well as injunctive relief. Discovery has not commenced, and no trial has been scheduled in any of these actions. We intend to defend this litigation vigorously.

Revenues
Revenues for the year ended July 2, 2011 increased by $74.0 million, or 19 percent, compared to the year ended July 3, 2010. The increase was primarily from increased product sales attributable to improved market conditions as our sector experienced a rebound from the economic downturn, as compared to the market conditions of calendar year 2009, and from our acquisitions of Mintera in July 2010 and Xtellus in December 2009. During the second half of fiscal year 2011, short-term decreases in demand, including a slowdown of 40 Gb/s deployments in China, and reduced sales as a result of inventory adjustments with many of our customers offset the improved market conditions we have otherwise seen since fiscal year 2010.

Table of Contents

For the year ended July 2, 2011, Huawei accounted for $71.7 million, or 15 percent, and Alcatel-Lucent accounted for $50.0 million, or 11 percent, of our revenues. For the year ended July 3, 2010, Huawei accounted for $51.9 million, or 13 percent, of our revenues and Alcatel-Lucent accounted for $39.5 million, or 10 percent, of our revenues.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues consists of the costs associated with manufacturing our products, and includes the purchase of raw materials, labor costs and related overhead, including stock-based compensation charges and the costs charged by our contract manufacturers for the products they manufacture for us. Charges for excess and obsolete inventory are also included in cost of revenues. Costs and expenses related to our manufacturing resources incurred in connection with the development of new products are included in research and development expense.
Our cost of revenues for the year ended July 2, 2011 increased by $59.1 million, or 21 percent, compared to the year ended July 3, 2010. The increase was primarily related to costs associated with our 19 percent increase in revenues during fiscal year 2011 and from increased costs associated with revenues from our acquisitions of Mintera and Xtellus. We also had a $2.9 million increase in depreciation expense, offset in part by lower costs from having one less week of expenses in fiscal year 2011 compared to fiscal year 2010. Our cost of revenues were also unfavorably impacted by approximately $2.1 million as a result of the Swiss franc strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar and $1.5 million as a result of the U.K. pound sterling strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated as revenues less cost of revenues. Gross margin rate is gross profit reflected as a percentage of revenues.
Our gross margin rate decreased to 27 percent for the year ended July 2, 2011, compared to 28 percent for the year ended July 3, 2010. Our gross profit was unfavorably impacted by approximately $2.1 million as a result of the Swiss franc strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar and $1.5 million as a result of the U.K. pound sterling strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, we had a $2.9 million increase in depreciation expense, offset in part by lower costs from having one less week of expenses in fiscal year 2011 compared to fiscal year 2010.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of employees engaged in research and design activities, including stock-based compensation charges related to those employees, costs of design tools and computer hardware, costs related to prototyping and facilities costs for certain research and development focused sites.
Research and development expenses increased by $24.0 million, or 58 percent, for the year ended July 2, 2011, compared to the year ended July 3, 2010. Our research and development expenses increased as we invested to match the rate of our anticipated revenue growth for fiscal year 2011. This includes increased spending on personnel and on materials associated with our product development efforts. The increase was also attributable to research and development associated with increased personnel and product development efforts related to our acquisitions of Mintera in July 2010 and Xtellus in December 2009. These increases were offset in part by having an additional week of expenses during the year ended July 3, 2010 compared to the year ended July 2, 2011. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we began to decrease the rate of our investment in research and development in response to changing short-term revenue growth expectations, and expect this trend to continue in our fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2011. We do expect research and development expenses to be higher in amount for the full fiscal year 2012, as compared to the full fiscal year 2011. Personnel-related costs increased to $37.7 million for the year ended July 2, 2011, compared with $26.9 million for the year ended July 3, 2010. Other costs, including engineering materials, the costs of design tools and facilities-related costs increased to $27.8 million for the year ended July 2, 2011, compared with $14.6 million for the year ended July 3, 2010. Research and development expenses were unfavorably impacted by approximately $1.1 million as a result of the U.K. pound sterling strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar and $0.6 million as a result of the Swiss franc strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation charges related to employees engaged in sales, general and administrative functions, legal and professional fees, facilities expenses (excluding manufacturing and research and development focused sites), insurance expenses and certain information technology costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.4 million, or 11 percent, for the year ended July 2, 2011, compared to the year ended July 3, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increase in costs incurred in connection with recent acquisitions, offset in part by the additional week of expenses during the year ended July 3, 2010. Personnel-related costs increased to $34.9 million for the year ended July 2, 2011, compared with $31.4 million for the year ended July 3, 2010. Other costs, including legal and professional fees, facilities expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, increased to $27.9 million for the year ended July 2, 2011, compared with $25.0 million for the year ended July 3, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses were unfavorably impacted by approximately $1.8 million as a result of the U.K. pound sterling strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar and $0.4 million as a result of the Swiss franc strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets increased to $2.8 million for the year ended July 2, 2011 from $1.0 million for the year ended July 3, 2010. This $1.8 million increase was primarily attributable to our acquisitions of Mintera in July 2010 and Xtellus in December 2009. Specifically, the amortizable base of our intangible assets increased by $11.7 million from our Mintera acquisition and by $7.3 million from our Xtellus acquisition. We expect the amortization of intangible assets to increase from $2.8 million to $2.9 million for fiscal year 2012, $3.2 million for fiscal years 2013 through 2015 and $2.7 million for fiscal year 2016 based on the current level of our intangible assets.
Restructuring, Acquisition and Related Costs
We incurred $1.5 million in employee separation costs during the year ended July 2, 2011 in connection with previously announced restructuring plans, offset by reductions to our restructuring reserve of $0.8 million from revised estimates for employee separation costs, lease cancellation and commitments and other charges. We do not expect to incur significant additional restructuring costs in connection with previously announced restructuring plans.
We also incurred $3.6 million during the year ended July 2, 2011 in external consulting charges associated with our next phase of optimization of past acquisitions as we focus on the associated infrastructure and processes required to support sustainable growth. In addition, we recorded $0.1 million in acquisition-related professional fees during this same period.
Legal Settlements
Legal settlements expense of $1.7 million during the year ended July 2, 2011 includes amounts recorded in connection with a confidential settlement agreement with QinetiQ Limited and for other legal settlements and related legal costs.
Impairment of Goodwill
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we completed our annual first step analysis for potential impairment of our goodwill, which included examining the impact of current general economic conditions on our future prospects and the current level of our market capitalization. Based on this analysis, including the effect of recent declines in our stock price and market capitalization, we concluded that goodwill related to our WSS reporting unit was impaired. Our WSS reporting unit’s goodwill was originally recorded in connection with our acquisition of Xtellus. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we also completed our second step analysis of goodwill impairment, determining that the $20.0 million of goodwill related to our WSS reporting unit was fully impaired. Based upon this evaluation, we recorded $20.0 million for the goodwill impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal year 2011.

Gain on Sale of Property and Equipment
For the year ended July 3, 2010, we recorded a net gain of $0.3 million, primarily related to the sale of certain fixed assets in Villebon, France in connection with the closing of that facility.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the year ended July 2, 2011 decreased by $18.2 million compared to the year ended July 3, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to an $11.7 million increase in foreign exchange loss from the non-cash re-measurement of short-term receivables and payables among certain of our wholly-owned international subsidiaries for fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to our other local functional currencies during the corresponding periods. This decrease was also due to a $5.3 million in gain from our purchase of Newport’s high-power laser diodes business being recorded during the year ended July 3, 2010 and from a $1.6 million increase in interest expense during the year ended July 2, 2011 related to liabilities recognized in the acquisitions of Xtellus and Mintera.
Income Tax Provision
For the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011, our income tax provision of $1.6 million primarily related to certain of our foreign operations, which operate on a cost-plus basis for services primarily associated with manufacturing and research and development.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will utilize net operating losses in one of our foreign jurisdictions due to current earnings and projections of future profitability. Accordingly, we released $1.3 million of our valuation allowance against $1.3 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. This amount represented the entire remaining deferred tax asset related to the accumulated net operating losses of the foreign jurisdiction. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the tax attributes in other jurisdictions, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our remaining foreign and domestic deferred tax assets as of July 2, 2011.
Income from Discontinued Operations
No amounts related to revenues, cost of revenues, gross profit or operating expenses were recognized during fiscal years 2011 and 2010 due to the sale of our New Focus business on July 4, 2009. During fiscal year 2010, we recorded income of $1.4 million from discontinued operations from the sale of our New Focus business. For further details, refer to Note 3, Business Combinations, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenues
Revenues for the year ended July 3, 2010 increased by $181.6 million, or 86 percent, compared to the year ended June 27, 2009. The increase was primarily related to our merger with Avanex in April 2009, increased product sales attributable to improved market conditions, as compared to the market conditions of calendar year 2009 as a result of the economic downturn, which resulted in market share gains across the majority of our product areas. The increase was also due to including revenues from our July 2009 acquisition of the Newport laser diode business in our results of operations for the year ended July 3, 2010.

Table of Contents

For the year ended July 3, 2010, Huawei accounted for $51.9 million, or 13 percent, of our revenues and Alcatel-Lucent accounted for $39.5 million, or 10 percent, of our revenues. For the year ended June 27, 2009, Huawei accounted for $35.7 million, or 17 percent, of our revenues and Nortel accounted for $29.5 million, or 14 percent, of our revenues.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues for the year ended July 3, 2010 increased $119.3 million, or 73 percent, from the year ended June 27, 2009. The increase was primarily related to our merger with Avanex in April 2009 and the acquisition of the Newport laser diode business in July 2009, as well as costs associated with higher volumes of revenue resulting from improved market conditions subsequent to the economic downturn of calendar year 2009, which were partially offset by the efficiencies from merger-related synergies and realizing the benefits of previous cost reduction efforts.
Gross Profit
Our gross margin rate increased to 28 percent for the year ended July 3, 2010, compared to 22 percent for the year ended June 27, 2009. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily due to operating leverage from higher revenue volumes, synergies from the merger with Avanex, including related cost reductions and the internal sourcing of Oclaro components into Avanex products, as well as the impact of other cost reduction efforts during fiscal year 2010 and earlier. Gross margin rate was also favorably impacted during the year ended July 3, 2010 relative to year ended June 27, 2009 due to recognizing the costs associated with $2.7 million of products shipped to Nortel in the year ended June 27, 2009, which revenue was deferred in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased to $41.5 million for the year ended July 3, 2010 from $26.1 million for the year ended June 27, 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in research and development in connection with the merger with Avanex in April 2009, the acquisitions of the Newport laser diode business in July 2009 and Xtellus in December 2009, and increased investment in research and development resources, primarily personnel-related, in an effort to match the rate of our anticipated revenue growth. Research and development expenses in fiscal year 2010 also included one additional week of expenses due to our fiscal calendar. The year ended July 3, 2010 was a 53 week year, while the year ended June 27, 2009 was a 52 week year. Personnel-related costs increased to $26.9 million for the year ended July 3, 2010, compared with $15.3 million for the year ended June 27, 2009. Other costs, including the costs of design tools and facilities-related costs increased to $14.6 million for the year ended July 3, 2010, compared with $10.8 million for the year ended June 27, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $56.4 million for the year ended July 3, 2010, from $34.9 million for the year ended June 27, 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs incurred in connection with the merger with Avanex in April 2009 and the acquisitions of the Newport laser diode business in July 2009 and Xtellus in December 2009, offset in part by synergies related to integrating these operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2010 also included one additional week of expenses due to our fiscal calendar. Personnel-related costs increased to $31.4 million for the year ended July 3, 2010, compared with $19.4 million for the year ended June 27, 2009. Other costs, including legal and professional fees, facilities expenses and other miscellaneous expenses increased to $25.0 million for the year ended July 3, 2010, compared with $15.5 million for the year ended June 27, 2009.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets increased to $1.0 million for the year ended July 3, 2010 from $0.5 million in the year ended June 27, 2009. This $0.5 million increase was driven by acquisitions during fiscal year 2010. Specifically, the amortizable base of our intangible assets increased in the year ended July 3, 2010 by $1.8 million from our Newport acquisition, $7.3 million from our Xtellus acquisition and $0.7 million from an asset purchase.

Restructuring, Acquisition and Related Costs
For the year ended July 3, 2010, we accrued $0.4 million in expenses, net of adjustments, for revised estimates related to lease cancellations and commitments and $2.2 million in employee separation costs in connection with cost reduction and restructuring plans implemented in prior years. During the year ended July 3, 2010, we also initiated a new restructuring plan resulting from our acquisition of the Newport laser diode business. This plan involves the transfer of laser diode manufacturing operations from Tucson, Arizona to our European manufacturing facilities. We incurred $0.5 million in restructuring accruals for employee separation charges under the Newport plan. During the year ended July 3, 2010, we also wrote-down $0.8 million in inventory, net of adjustments, which became impaired through the integration of our WSS product lines.
During the year ended July 3, 2010, we also recorded $2.5 million for acquisition-related costs, which include $1.5 million of professional fees and $1.0 million in employee retention payments payable in connection with the acquisition of Xtellus. During the second half of fiscal year 2010, we reassessed the fair value of the value protection liability related to our Xtellus acquisition determining that the fair value of this liability declined from $0.9 million at January 2, 2010 to nil at July 3, 2010. This $0.9 million change in fair value was recognized as a reduction to acquisition-related costs during the year ended July 3, 2010.
Legal Settlement
In April 2009, we settled our outstanding litigation with a competitor, which resulted in us recording $4.0 million in legal settlement expenses during the year ended June 27, 2009. Of this amount, $3.0 million represents settlement payments paid to the competitor and $1.0 million represents legal fees incurred in connection with the litigation and settlement. Legal fees during the year ended June 27, 2009 were partially offset by a $0.2 million benefit from the settlement of a legal action in connection with our sale of land in Swindon, U.K. to a third-party in 2005.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
During the year ended June 27, 2009 we determined that the goodwill related to our New Focus and Avalon reporting units was fully impaired, and we therefore recorded a $7.9 million goodwill impairment charge. In conjunction with our review of goodwill, we recorded $1.2 million for the impairment loss related to certain intangible assets related to our Avalon reporting unit in our fiscal year 2009 statement of operations. The impairment charges will not result in any current or future cash expenditures.
Gain on Sale of Property and Equipment
During the year ended July 3, 2010, we recorded a net gain of $0.3 million, primarily related to the sale of certain fixed assets in Villebon, France made surplus in connection with the closing of that facility.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the year ended July 3, 2010 decreased by $3.4 million compared to the year ended June 27, 2009. This decrease primarily resulted from an $8.6 million decrease in gain from the re-measurement of short-term receivables and payables for fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to our other local functional currencies during the corresponding periods among certain of our wholly-owned international subsidiaries and a $0.5 million decrease in interest income due to lower average interest rates, which was partially offset by a $5.3 million gain from the bargain purchase of the high-power laser diodes business from Newport on July 4, 2009.
Income Tax Provision
For the year ended July 3, 2010, our income tax provision of $0.9 million primarily related to $2.2 million in current income taxes from our operations in Italy, China and the United States, partially offset by a release of $1.3 million in our valuation allowance.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will utilize net operating losses in one of our foreign jurisdictions due to current earnings and projections of future profitability. Accordingly, we released $1.3 million of our valuation allowance against $1.3 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. This amount represents the entire remaining deferred tax asset related to the accumulated net operating losses of the foreign jurisdiction. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the tax attributes in other jurisdictions, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our remaining foreign and domestic deferred tax assets as of July 3, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used by operating activities for the year ended July 2, 2011 was $4.6 million, primarily resulting from a net loss of $46.4 million and by a $1.7 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, largely offset by $43.5 million in non-cash adjustments to our net loss. The $1.7 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities was comprised of a $30.9 million increase in inventory, a $1.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $0.3 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $0.2 million increase in other non-current assets, offset in part by cash generated from a $20.7 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $10.8 million increase in accounts payable. The $43.5 million in non-cash adjustments consisted of a $20.0 million charge for impairment of goodwill, $18.1 million of expense related to depreciation and amortization and $6.3 million of expense related to stock-based compensation, offset in part by $0.9 million from the amortization of deferred gain from a sales-leaseback transaction.
Net cash used by operating activities for the year ended July 3, 2010 was $5.3 million, primarily resulting from a $25.1 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by net income of $12.4 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $7.4 million. The $25.1 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities was comprised of a $34.9 million increase in accounts receivable, a $7.6 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities and an increase of $2.4 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, offset in part by cash generated from a $15.4 million increase in accounts payable, a $3.3 million decrease in inventory and a $1.1 million decrease in other non-current assets. The $7.4 million in non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of $11.8 million of expense related to depreciation and amortization and $4.4 million of expense related to stock-based compensation, offset in part by $5.3 million in gain from the bargain purchase of the high-power laser diodes business from Newport, $1.4 million in gain from the sale of the New Focus business, $0.9 million from the amortization of deferred gain from a sales-leaseback transaction, $0.9 million from the change in fair value of the value protection guarantee related to the Xtellus acquisition and $0.3 million in gain from the sale of property and equipment.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended June 27, 2009 was $3.1 million, resulting from the net loss of $32.2 million offset by non-cash adjustments of $28.5 million, primarily consisting of an $11.9 million charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, $12.5 million of expense related to depreciation and amortization of certain assets and $4.4 million of expense related to stock-based compensation. Cash also increased $0.5 million from a net change in our operating assets and liabilities, excluding those assets and liabilities assumed in our merger with Avanex, due to a $6.9 million decrease in inventories and $0.7 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets, which were partially offset by a $5.6 million decrease in accounts payable, a $0.7 million decrease in accrued liabilities and a $0.8 million increase in accounts receivable.
Cash flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended July 2, 2011 was $47.9 million, primarily consisting of $41.6 million used in capital expenditures to support new product introductions and our anticipated revenue growth and $10.5 million used in the acquisition of Mintera, partially offset by a reduction of $4.0 million in restricted cash related to facility leases from which we exited during fiscal year 2011 and $0.2 million in proceeds from the sale of certain fixed assets.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended July 3, 2010 was $6.7 million, primarily consisting of $12.1 million used in capital expenditures, $7.5 million used to acquire an equity interest in ClariPhy Communications, Inc., a privately-held company, and $0.3 million used to acquire intangible assets, equipment and inventory through an asset purchase, which were partially offset by $9.3 million in sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments, $3.3 million in cash acquired from business combinations and $0.9 million in proceeds from the sale of certain fixed assets.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended June 27, 2009 was $21.4 million, primarily consisting of $29.2 million in sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments and $11.5 million in cash acquired in the merger with Avanex, which were partially offset by $9.2 million used in capital expenditures, $6.9 million used to purchase available-for-sale investments and $3.1 million in additional required restricted cash related to lease obligations assumed in the merger with Avanex.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.7 million for the year ended July 2, 2011 resulted from $2.4 million received from issuance of common stock, primarily through stock option exercises, and from $0.3 million in additional proceeds related to our May 2010 follow-on stock offering due to finalization of our previous estimates of offering-related expenses.
Net cash of $77.3 million provided by financing activities for the year ended July 3, 2010 primarily resulted from $77.1 million in proceeds, net of estimated expenses and commissions, from an underwritten public offering of 6.9 million shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $12.00 per share. During fiscal year 2010 we received $2.5 million in net proceeds from borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement, which was entirely repaid within the fiscal year, and also received $0.3 million from issuance of common stock primarily through stock option exercises.
There were no significant cash flows from financing activities for the year ended June 27, 2009.
Effect of Exchange Rates on Cash and Cash Equivalents for the Years Ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009
The effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents for the year ended July 2, 2011 was an increase of $5.4 million, which included $1.5 million in net gain due to the revaluation of foreign currency cash balances to the functional currency of the respective subsidiaries and from gains of approximately $2.2 million related to the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany payables of our subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

The effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents for year ended July 3, 2010 was a decrease of $2.8 million, primarily consisting of a loss of approximately $1.4 million related to the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany payables on the books of our U.K. subsidiary and from $1.0 million in net loss due to the revaluation of foreign currency cash balances to the functional currency of the respective subsidiaries.
The effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents for the year ended June 27, 2009 was a decrease of $6.5 million, primarily consisting of approximately $1.1 million in net gain due to the revaluation of foreign currency cash balances to the functional currency of the respective subsidiaries and a gain of approximately $6.6 million related to the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany receivables on the books of our U.K. subsidiary, which were partially offset by $1.2 million of other miscellaneous increases in cash and cash equivalents due to the effects of exchange rates.
Credit Facility
On August 2, 2006, Oclaro, Inc., along with Oclaro Technology Ltd., Oclaro Photonics, Inc. and Oclaro Technology, Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively the “Original Borrowers”), entered into a credit agreement, or the “Original Credit Agreement,” with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. and certain other lenders, which Original Credit Agreement has previously been amended from time to time.
On July 26, 2011, Oclaro Technology Ltd., as “Borrower,” and Oclaro, Inc., as “Parent,” entered into an amendment and restatement to the Original Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. and the other lenders party thereto regarding the senior secured revolving credit facility, increasing the facility size from $25 million to $45 million and extending the term thereof to August 1, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Credit Agreement, advances are available based on 80 percent of “qualified accounts receivable,” as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Parent and all significant subsidiaries of Parent and Borrower (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and are secured, pursuant to two security agreements (the “Security Agreements”), by substantially all of the assets of Borrower and Guarantors, including a pledge of the capital stock holdings of the Borrower and certain Guarantors in their direct subsidiaries.
Borrowings made under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.50 percentage points or the bank’s prime rate plus 1.50 percentage points. In the absence of an event of default, any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time until maturity, which is August 1, 2014.
The Credit Agreement contains negative covenants applicable to Parent, Borrower and their subsidiaries, including a financial covenant that, on a consolidated basis, requires Parent to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.00, if Parent and its subsidiaries have not maintained “minimum liquidity” (defined as $15 million of qualified cash and excess availability, each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement also contains restrictions on liens, certain investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes to the Borrower’s business, certain dispositions of property, making certain restricted payments (including restrictions on dividends and stock repurchases), entering into new lines of business and transactions with affiliates.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, which includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, a cross-default related to indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $2.0 million or more, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to such matters as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, certain judgments in excess of $2.0 million and a change of control default.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Borrower paid a closing fee of $250,000 and agreed to pay a monthly servicing fee of $3,000 and a variable unused line fee equal to between 0.375 and 0.50 percentage points per annum, payable monthly on the unused amount of revolving credit commitments. To the extent there are letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is obligated to pay the administrative agent a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to 3.3 percentage points per annum.

Table of Contents

As of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement. At July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there were $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in outstanding standby letters of credit with vendors secured under the Original Credit Agreement and subsequently under the Credit Agreement. The outstanding standby letters of credit for $1.1 million expire at various intervals through April 2014.
Future Cash Requirements
As of July 2, 2011, we held $62.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $0.6 million in restricted cash. We expect that our cash flows from operations, together with our current cash balances and amounts expected to be available under our Credit Agreement, which are based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Credit Agreement), will provide us with sufficient financial resources in order to operate as a going concern through at least fiscal year 2012. In the future, in order to strengthen our financial position, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, or in the event we need to fund our growth in future financial periods, we may need to raise additional funds by any one or a combination of the following: (i) issuing equity securities, (ii) incurring indebtedness secured by our assets, (iii) issuing debt and/or convertible debt securities, or (iv) selling product lines and/or portions of our business. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
From time to time, we have engaged in discussions with third parties concerning potential acquisitions of product lines, technologies and businesses, such as our merger with Avanex, our acquisitions of Xtellus and Mintera, and our exchange of assets agreement with Newport. We continue to consider potential acquisition candidates. Any such transactions could result in us issuing significant number of new equity or debt securities (including promissory notes), the incurrence or assumption of debt, and the utilization of our cash and cash equivalents. We may also be required to raise additional funds to complete any such acquisition, through either the issuance of equity securities and/or borrowings. If we raise additional funds or acquire businesses or technologies through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution.
Risk Management — Foreign Currency Risk
As our business is multinational in scope, we are increasingly subject to fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates between the currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses. In the future, we expect that a majority of our revenues will be denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in U.K. pounds sterling and the Swiss franc. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the U.K. pound sterling and the Swiss franc and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses could affect our operating results. This includes the Chinese yuan, the Korean won, the Israeli shekel and the Euro in which we pay expenses in connection with operating our facilities in Shenzhen and Shanghai, China; Daejeon, South Korea; Jerusalem, Israel and San Donato, Italy. To the extent the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies were to fluctuate more significantly than experienced to date, our exposure would increase. We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in an effort to mitigate a portion of our exposure to such fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling, and we may be required to convert currencies to meet our obligations. Under certain circumstances, foreign currency forward exchange contracts can have an adverse effect on our financial condition. As of July 2, 2011, we held five foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $4.0 million which include put and call options which expire, or expired, at various dates from July 2011 to November 2011. As of July 2, 2011, we recorded an unrealized gain of $0.1 million to accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with marking these contracts to fair value.

The purchase obligations consist of our total outstanding purchase order commitments at July 2, 2011. Any capital purchases to which we are committed are included in these outstanding purchase order commitments. Operating leases are future annual commitments under non-cancelable operating leases, including rents payable for land and buildings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We indemnify our directors and certain employees as permitted by law, and have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We have not recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements as we historically have not incurred any material costs associated with such indemnification obligations. Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that we maintain, however, such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts we may be required to pay. In addition, we may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in the future.
We also have indemnification clauses in various contracts that we enter into in the normal course of business, such as indemnifications in favor of customers in respect of liabilities they may incur as a result of purchasing our products should such products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. We have not historically paid out any material amounts related to these indemnifications; therefore, no accrual has been made for these indemnifications.
Other than as set forth above, we are not currently party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the effect of new accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and other financial information. Actual results may differ significantly from those based on our estimates and judgments or could have been materially different if we had used different assumptions, estimates or conditions. In addition, our financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.

 

45


Table of Contents

We regard an accounting estimate or assumption underlying our financial statements as a “critical accounting estimate” where:
   
the nature of the estimate or assumption is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and
   
the impact of such estimates and assumptions on our financial condition or operating performance is material.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Not all of these significant accounting policies, however, require that we make estimates and assumptions that we believe are “critical accounting estimates.” We have discussed our accounting policies with the audit committee of our board of directors, and we believe that the policies described below involve critical accounting estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns
Revenue represents the amounts, excluding sales taxes, derived from the sale of goods and services to third-party customers during a given period. Specifically, we recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been shipped, title has transferred, collectability is reasonably assured, fees are fixed or determinable and there are no uncertainties with respect to customer acceptance. For certain sales, we are required to determine, in particular, whether the delivery has occurred, whether items will be returned and whether we will be paid under normal commercial terms. For certain products sold to customers, we specify delivery terms in the agreement under which the sale was made and assess each shipment against those terms, and only recognize revenue when we are certain that the delivery terms have been met. We record a provision for estimated sales returns in the same period as the related revenues are recorded, which is netted against revenue. These estimates for sales returns are based on historical sales return rates, other known factors and our return policy. Before accepting a new customer, we review publicly available information and credit rating databases to provide ourselves with reasonable assurance that the new customer will pay all outstanding amounts in accordance with our standard terms. For existing customers, we monitor historic payment patterns and we perform ongoing credit evaluations to assess whether we can expect payment in accordance with the terms set forth in the agreement under which the sale was made.
We recognize revenues from financially distressed customers when collectability becomes reasonably assured, assuming all other above criteria for revenue recognition have been met. In fiscal year 2009 we issued billings of $4.1 million for products that were shipped to Nortel, but for which payment was not received prior to Nortel’s bankruptcy filing on January 14, 2009. As a result, the corresponding revenue was deferred, and therefore was not recognized as revenues or accounts receivable in the consolidated financial statements at the time of such billings, as we determined that such amounts were not reasonably assured of collectability in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of July 2, 2011, we had remaining contractual receivables from Nortel totaling $2.7 million which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. To the extent that collectability becomes reasonably assured for these deferred billings in future periods, our future results of operations will benefit from the recognition of these amounts.
Inventory Valuation
In general, our inventories are valued at the lower of cost to acquire or manufacture our products or market value, less write-offs of inventory we believe could prove to be unsalable. Manufacturing costs include the cost of the components purchased to produce our products and related labor and overhead. We review our inventory on a quarterly basis to determine if it is saleable. Products may be unsalable because they are technically obsolete due to substitute products, specification changes or excess inventory relative to customer forecasts. We currently reduce the cost basis for inventory using methods that take these factors into account. If we find that the cost of inventory is greater than the current market price, we will write the inventory down to the estimated selling price, less the estimated cost to complete and sell the product.
Business Combinations
Through June 27, 2009, we accounted for our acquisitions using the purchase accounting method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS No. 141”), Business Combinations. Under this method, we allocated the purchase price of acquired companies to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated relative fair values at the acquisition date, with any excess allocated to goodwill (defined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed). Our judgments as to fair value of the assets, therefore, affected the amount of goodwill that we recorded. These judgments included estimating the useful lives over which the fair values are or were amortized to expense.

 

46


Table of Contents

For tangible assets acquired in any acquisition, such as plant and equipment, we estimate useful lives by considering comparable lives of similar assets, past history, the intended use of the assets and their condition. In estimating the useful life of acquired intangible assets with definite lives, we consider the industry environment and specific factors relating to each product relative to our business strategy and the likelihood of technological obsolescence. Acquired intangible assets primarily include core and current technology, patents, supply agreements, capitalized licenses and customer contracts. We amortize our acquired intangible assets with definite lives over periods generally ranging from 1.5 to 11 years and, in the case of one specific customer contract, 15 years.
Our acquisitions consummated after June 27, 2009, including the acquisition of the high-power laser diodes business from Newport on July 4, 2009 and our acquisitions of Xtellus on December 17, 2009 and Mintera on July 21, 2010, were accounted for pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under ASC Topic 805, there are significant differences as compared to SFAS No. 141 in determining the purchase price of an acquired entity, including:
   
Under ASC Topic 805, the purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of consideration transferred on the date of the business combination. Previously, the value of equity-based consideration transferred was determined based on the fair value at the time of announcement of the business combination.
   
Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the identifiable intangible assets.
   
Goodwill is recognized for any excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. A bargain purchase gain results if the fair value of the purchase price is less than the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We recorded a $5.3 million bargain purchase gain related to our acquisition of Newport’s high-power laser diodes business during fiscal year 2010.
Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable and that of a market participant. For instance, the estimated fair value of our common stock issued in connection with our acquisition of Xtellus was determined using the closing price of $6.70 per share as of the acquisition date, December 17, 2009, adjusted by a discount rate to reflect the lack of marketability due to the shares being unregistered and subject to restrictions on transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In addition, the estimated fair value of the value protection guarantee issued in connection with the Xtellus acquisition was determined by using management estimates of future operating results and a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the likelihood of achieving certain market conditions. For our Mintera acquisition, we agreed to pay additional revenue-based consideration whereby former security holders of Mintera are entitled to receive up to $20.0 million, determined based on a set of sliding scale formulas, to the extent revenue from Mintera products is more than $29.0 million in the 12 months following the acquisition and/or more than $40.0 million in the 18 months following the acquisition. The estimated fair value of these obligations were determined using management estimates of the total amounts expected to be paid based on estimated operating results, discounted to their present value using our incremental borrowing cost.
Our preliminary estimates of fair value are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period for a business combination, which may be up to one year, we may record adjustments to the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After the conclusion of the measurement period or our final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, subsequent adjustments affecting earnings are recorded within our consolidated statements of operations.
As a result of adopting the revised accounting standards provided for by ASC Topic 805 as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2010, certain of our policies differ when accounting for acquisitions consummated after June 27, 2009, including:
   
the direct transaction costs associated with a business combination are expensed as incurred (previously, direct transaction costs were included as part of the purchase price);

 

47


Table of Contents

   
the costs to exit or restructure certain activities of an acquired company are accounted for separately from the business combination (previously, restructuring and exit costs directly resulting from the business combination were included as a part of the assumed obligations in deriving the purchase price allocation); and
   
the fair value of in-process research and development is recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the underlying project is completed, at which time the intangible asset is amortized over its estimated useful life, or abandoned, at which time the intangible asset is expensed (previously, in-process research and development was expensed as of the acquisition date).
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, in our case during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if an event or circumstance suggests impairment has occurred. In addition, we review identifiable intangibles, excluding goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market price of the asset, significant adverse changes to the business climate or legal factors, current period cash flow or operating losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset and a current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly below carrying value before the end of its estimated useful life.
The first step of testing goodwill for impairment is based on a reporting unit’s “fair value,” which is generally determined through market prices. In certain cases, due to the absence of market prices for a particular element of our business, we have elected to base our testing on discounted future expected cash flows. Although the discount rates and other input variables may differ, the model we use in this process is the same model we use to evaluate the fair value of acquisition candidates and the fairness of offers to purchase businesses that we are considering for divestiture. The forecasted cash flows we use are derived from the annual long-range planning process that we perform and present to our board of directors. In this process, each reporting unit is required to develop reasonable sales, earnings and cash flow forecasts for the next three to seven years based on current and forecasted economic conditions. For purposes of testing for impairment, the cash flow forecasts are adjusted as needed to reflect information that becomes available concerning changes in business levels and general economic trends. The discount rates used for determining discounted future cash flows are generally based on our weighted-average cost of capital and are then adjusted for “plan risk” (the risk that a business will fail to achieve its forecasted results) and “country risk” (the risk that economic or political instability in the countries in which we operate will cause a business unit’s projections to be inaccurate). Finally, a growth factor beyond the three to seven-year period for which cash flows are planned is selected based on expectations of future economic conditions. Virtually all of the assumptions used in our models are susceptible to change due to global and regional economic conditions as well as competitive factors in the industry in which we operate. Unanticipated changes in discount rates from one year to the next can also have a significant effect on the results of the calculations. While we believe the estimates and assumptions we use are reasonable, various economic factors could cause the results of our goodwill testing to vary significantly.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we completed our annual first step analysis for potential impairment of our goodwill, which included examining the impact of current general economic conditions on our future prospects and the current level of our market capitalization. Based on this analysis, we concluded that goodwill related to our WSS reporting unit was impaired. Our WSS reporting unit’s goodwill was originally recorded in connection with our acquisition of Xtellus. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we also completed our second step analysis of goodwill impairment, determining that the $20.0 million of goodwill related to our WSS reporting unit was fully impaired. Based upon this evaluation, we recorded $20.0 million for the goodwill impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal year 2011. In conjunction with our second step goodwill impairment analysis, we also evaluated the fair value of the intangible assets of this reporting unit and concluded that such assets were not impaired.
During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, we observed indicators of potential impairment of our goodwill, including the impact of the then current general economic downturn, our future prospects and the continued decline of our market capitalization, which caused us to conduct a goodwill impairment analysis. Specifically, indicators emerged within our New Focus reporting unit, which includes the technology acquired in the March 2004 acquisition of Oclaro Photonics, Inc. and one other reporting unit that included the technology acquired in the March 2006 acquisition of Avalon Photonics AG (the Avalon reporting unit). These indicators led us to conclude that an impairment test was required to be performed for goodwill related to these reporting units.

Table of Contents

During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, we determined, in our first step goodwill impairment analysis, that the goodwill related to our New Focus and Avalon reporting units were in fact impaired. We completed our full evaluation of the second step impairment analysis, which indicated that the goodwill was fully impaired. We recorded $7.9 million for impairment losses in our statement of operations for the year ended June 27, 2009.
In conjunction with our full evaluation of the second step goodwill impairment analysis, we also evaluated the fair value of the intangible assets of these two reporting units. Based on this testing, we determined that the intangibles of our New Focus reporting unit and our Avalon reporting units were impaired. We recorded $1.2 million for the impairment loss related to these intangibles, net of $2.8 million associated with the discontinued operations of the New Focus business, in our statements of operations for the year ended June 27, 2009.
These impairments will not result in any current or future cash expenditures.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize in our statement of operations all stock-based compensation, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock, based on their fair values on the grant dates. Estimating the grant date fair value of employee stock options requires us to make judgments in the determination of inputs into the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model which we use to arrive at an estimate of the fair value for such awards. These inputs are based upon highly subjective assumptions as to the volatility of the underlying stock, risk free interest rates and the expected life of the options. Judgment is also required in estimating the number of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited during any given period. As required under the accounting rules, we review our valuation assumptions at each grant date, and, as a result, our valuation assumptions used to value employee stock options granted in future periods may change. If actual results or future changes in estimates differ significantly from our current estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our consolidated results of operations could be materially impacted. During the years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, we recognized $6.3 million, $4.4 million and $4.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, in our results from continuing operations. See Note 11, Stock-based Compensation, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred income tax assets which are not likely to be realized.
In fiscal year 2010, we determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will utilize net operating losses in one of our foreign jurisdictions due to current earnings and projections of future profitability. Accordingly, we released $1.3 million of our valuation allowance against $1.3 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2010. This amount represented the entire remaining deferred tax asset related to the accumulated net operating losses of the foreign jurisdiction. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the tax attributes in other jurisdictions, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our remaining foreign and domestic deferred tax assets as of July 2, 2011.
Item 7A.  
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rates
We finance our operations through a mixture of issuances of equity securities, finance leases, working capital and by drawing on our Credit Agreement. Our only exposure to interest rate fluctuations is on our cash deposits and for amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement. At July 2, 2011 there was no amount outstanding under our Credit Agreement. As of July 2, 2011, we had $1.1 million in three outstanding standby letters of credit with vendors secured under our Credit Agreement.
We monitor our interest rate risk on cash balances primarily through cash flow forecasting. Cash that is surplus to immediate requirements is invested in short-term deposits with banks accessible with one day’s notice and invested in overnight money market accounts. We believe our current interest rate risk is immaterial.

Foreign currency
As our business has grown and become multinational in scope, we have become increasingly subject to fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates between the currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses. Despite our change in domicile from the United Kingdom to the United States in 2004, and our movement of certain functions, including assembly and test operations, from the United Kingdom to China, in the future we expect that a majority of our revenues will continue to be denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in U.K. pounds sterling and the Swiss franc. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the U.K. pound sterling and the Swiss franc and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses, could affect our operating results. This includes the Chinese yuan, the Korean won, the Israeli shekel and the Euro in which we pay expenses in connection with operating our facilities in Shenzhen and Shanghai, China; Daejeon, South Korea; Jerusalem, Israel and San Donato, Italy. To the extent the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies were to fluctuate more significantly than experienced to date, our exposure would increase.
As of July 2, 2011, our U.K. subsidiary had $45.3 million, net, in U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany payables and $59.5 million in U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable related to sales to external customers. It is estimated that a 10 percent fluctuation in the U.S. dollar relative to the U.K. pound sterling would lead to a profit of $1.4 million (U.S. dollar strengthening), or loss of $1.4 million (U.S. dollar weakening) on the translation of these receivables, which would be recorded as gain (loss) on foreign exchange in our consolidated statement of operations.
Hedging Program
We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in an effort to mitigate a portion of our exposure to such fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling. We do not currently hedge our exposure to the Chinese yuan, Korean won, Israeli shekel, Swiss franc or the Euro, but we may in the future if conditions warrant. We also do not currently hedge our exposure related to our U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and receivables. We may be required to convert currencies to meet our obligations. Under certain circumstances, foreign currency forward exchange contracts can have an adverse effect on our financial condition. As of July 2, 2011, we held five foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $4.0 million which include put and call options which expire, or expired, at various dates from July 2011 to November 2011 and we have recorded an unrealized gain of $0.1 million to accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with marking these contracts to fair value. It is estimated that a 10 percent fluctuation in the dollar between July 2, 2011 and the maturity dates of the put and call instruments underlying these contracts would lead to a profit of $0.4 million (U.S. dollar weakening) or break-even (U.S. dollar strengthening) on our outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts, should they be held to maturity.

Item 9A.  
Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 2, 2011. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 2, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, fraud or the results of fraud. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2011. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of July 2, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Oclaro, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oclaro, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 2, 2011. Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a) (2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Oclaro, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 2, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Oclaro, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated September 9, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Oclaro, Inc.
We have audited Oclaro, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Oclaro, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Oclaro Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Oclaro, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Oclaro, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 2, 2011. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2). Our report dated September 9, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

OCLARO, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Oclaro, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Oclaro,” “we,” or “our”), is a leading provider of high-performance core optical network components, modules and subsystems to global telecommunications (“telecom”) equipment manufacturers. We leverage our proprietary core technologies and vertically integrated product development to provide our customers with cost-effective and innovative optical solutions in metro and long-haul network applications. In addition, we utilize our optical expertise to address new and emerging optical product opportunities in selective non-telecom markets, such as materials processing, consumer, medical, industrial, printing and biotechnology. We offer our customers a differentiated solution that is designed to make it easier for our customers to do business by combining optical technology innovation, photonic integration, and a vertical approach to manufacturing and product development.
On April 27, 2009, Oclaro, at the time named Bookham, Inc. (“Bookham”), and Avanex Corporation (“Avanex”) completed a merger of Avanex with and into a subsidiary of Bookham with Avanex being the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bookham.
In a separate transaction that also occurred on April 27, 2009, following the closing of the merger of Avanex into a subsidiary of Bookham, Bookham changed its name to Oclaro, Inc. This name change was effected pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bookham (“the Subsidiary”) into Bookham. Bookham was the surviving corporation in this merger with the Subsidiary and, in connection with the merger, amended its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to Oclaro, Inc. pursuant to a Certificate of Ownership and Merger filed on April 27, 2009 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. References herein to “Oclaro,” “we” or “our” mean Bookham and its subsidiaries’ consolidated business activities prior to April 27, 2009 and Oclaro and its subsidiaries’ consolidated business activities since April 27, 2009. Subsequent to the merger, Avanex changed its name to Oclaro (North America), Inc. All references to “Avanex” in time periods after the merger refer to Oclaro (North America), Inc.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oclaro and our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Up to and through the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, we were organized and operated as two operating segments: (i) telecom and (ii) advanced photonics solutions (“APS”). In late calendar 2010, we aligned our APS portfolio to more fully leverage the assets of our telecom business. Our APS products, strategies and infrastructure support are now more closely aligned with the rest of our telecom business, and beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 we have operated our business accordingly, under the same management. As a result, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 we no longer report APS as a separate operating segment.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASC Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Under the Codification, all existing accounting standards and pronouncements were superseded and reorganized into a consistent structure arranged by topic, subtopic, section and paragraph. Since the Codification did not change or alter existing U.S. GAAP, it did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements; however, it changed the way references to accounting standards and pronouncements are presented. The provisions of ASC Topic 105 were adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. References made to FASB guidance throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K refer to the Codification.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Examples of significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets, the fair value of purchase consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of stock-based compensation, estimates for allowances for doubtful accounts, and valuation of excess and obsolete inventories. These judgments can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

Fiscal Years
We operate on a 52/53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Each of the fiscal years ended July 2, 2011 and June 27, 2009 were 52 week years. Our fiscal year ended July 3, 2010 was a 53 week year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at market value. We consider all liquid investment securities with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Any realized gains and losses on liquid investment securities are included in other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. Restricted cash of $0.6 million as of July 2, 2011 consists of collateral for the performance of our obligations under certain facility lease agreements and bank accounts otherwise restricted.
The following table provides details regarding our cash and cash equivalents at the dates indicated:

  $ 62,783     $ 107,176  
 
           
Concentration of Credit Risks
We place our cash and cash equivalents with and in the custody of financial institutions which at times, are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Management monitors the ongoing creditworthiness of these institutions. Our investment policy limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security and issuer. To date, we have not experienced significant losses on these investments.
Our trade accounts receivable are concentrated with companies in the telecom industry. At July 2, 2011, no customer accounted for 10 percent or more of our gross accounts receivable. At July 3, 2010, two customers accounted for a total of 29 percent of our gross accounts receivable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Return Allowance
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and record specific allowances for doubtful accounts when a customer is unable to meet its financial obligations, as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deteriorated financial position. Estimates are used in determining allowances for customers based on factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience. We write-off a receivable account when all rights, remedies and recourses against the account and its principals are exhausted and record a benefit when previously reserved accounts are collected. We recorded provisions of $0.6 million, $1.5 million and $0.2 million as allowances for doubtful accounts in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
We record a provision for estimated sales returns, which is netted against revenues, in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, other known factors and our return policy. We recorded provisions of $0.6 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million as sales return allowances in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Inventories
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out basis) or market. We plan production based on orders received and forecasted demand and maintain stock of certain items. These production estimates are dependent on assessment of current and expected orders from our customers, including consideration that orders are subject to cancellation with limited advance notice prior to shipment. We assess the valuation of our inventory, including significant inventories held by contract manufacturers on our behalf, on a quarterly basis. Products may be unsalable because they are technically obsolete due to substitute products, specification changes or excess inventory relative to customer forecasts. We adjust the carrying value of inventory using methods that take these factors into account. If we find that the cost basis of our inventory is greater than the current market value, we write the inventory down to the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs to complete and sell the product.
The following table provides details regarding our inventories at the dates indicated:

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years, except for buildings which are generally depreciated over twenty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease, whichever is shorter. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Gain or loss resulting from asset dispositions are included in (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We review our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable and also review goodwill annually. The values assigned to goodwill and other intangible assets are based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the success and life cycle of products and technologies acquired.

 

F-10


Table of Contents

Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is considered not impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit, a second step of the impairment test is performed whereby we hypothetically apply purchase accounting to the reporting unit using the fair values from the first step in order to determine the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill.
Non-Marketable Cost Method Investments
In May 2010, we made a $7.5 million investment in ClariPhy Communications, Inc. (“ClariPhy”), a privately-held company, receiving in exchange a less than 20 percent equity interest in ClariPhy. In addition, ClariPhy and Oclaro executed a co-marketing and development agreement under which we have the opportunity to increase our initial equity interest stake in ClariPhy through achievement of certain milestones related to this agreement. Achievement of the maximum additional equity interest in ClariPhy through the co-marketing and development agreement would still result in a less than 20 percent equity interest in ClariPhy.
As of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, including the investment in ClariPhy, we had $8.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of investments in privately-held companies. These investments consist of less than 20 percent equity ownership interests of common stock and/or preferred stock in these companies and are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. These investments are included in other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Our operating results are subject to fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates between the currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses. A majority of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our expenses are denominated in United Kingdom (U.K.) pounds sterling, the Chinese yuan, Swiss franc, and the Euro, in which we pay expenses in connection with operating our facilities in the U.K., China, Switzerland and Italy. We currently enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in an effort to mitigate a portion of our exposure to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling.
We recognize all derivatives, such as foreign currency forward exchange contracts, on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value regardless of the purpose for holding the instrument. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through operating results or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in operating results in our consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Warranty
We accrue for the estimated costs to provide warranty services at the time revenue is recognized. Our estimate of costs to service our warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent we experience increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, our warranty costs will increase, resulting in a decrease in gross profit and a decrease in net income.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize product revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped and title has transferred, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured, (iv) the fees are fixed or determinable and (v) there are no uncertainties with respect to customer acceptance. We record a provision for estimated sales returns in the same period as the related revenues are recorded, which is netted against revenue. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, other known factors and our return policy. We recognize revenues from financially distressed customers when collectability becomes reasonably assured, assuming all other above criteria for revenue recognition have been met.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 we issued billings of $4.1 million for products that were shipped to Nortel Networks Corporation (“Nortel”), but for which payment was not received prior to Nortel’s bankruptcy filing on January 14, 2009. As a result, the corresponding revenue was deferred, and therefore was not recognized as revenues or accounts receivable in our consolidated financial statements at the time of such billings, as we determined that such amounts were not reasonably assured of collectability in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. In fiscal year 2009, we recognized revenues of $0.6 million from Nortel upon receipt of payment for billings which had been previously deferred and Nortel returned $0.8 million in products to us which had been shipped to Nortel prior to the bankruptcy filing and which had not been paid for by Nortel.
As of July 2, 2011, we had remaining contractual receivables from Nortel, associated with product shipments deferred as a result of Nortel’s January 14, 2009 bankruptcy filing, totaling $2.7 million, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. To the extent that collectability becomes reasonably assured for these deferred billings in future periods, our future results will benefit from the recognition of these amounts.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Our advertising costs for the years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 were not significant.
Restructuring Expenses
We record costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activities when the liability is incurred. Employee termination benefits are recorded when the benefit arrangement is communicated to the employee and no significant future services are required. If employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits, the fair value of the termination date liability is recognized ratably over the future service period. Lease cancellation and commitment costs are recorded when we make a formal decision to exit the facility. Lease cancellation and commitment costs are calculated using estimated future lease commitments less estimated sublease income, based on current market conditions.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review property and equipment and certain identifiable intangibles, excluding goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable on an annual basis. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing their carrying amounts to market prices or the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment or certain identifiable intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized would equal the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value based on market prices or future discounted cash flows.

Table of Contents

Our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired.
Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. We amortize our acquired intangible assets with definite lives over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is generally from 1.5 to 11.5 years and 15 years as to one specific customer contract.
Stock-Based Compensation
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the compensation expense associated with our stock-based awards. In addition, we estimate forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense, and we adjust our estimate of forfeitures over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
Stock options have a term of seven to ten years and generally vest over a two to four year service period, and restricted stock awards generally vest over a one to four year period, and in certain cases each may vest earlier based upon the achievement of specific performance-based objectives as set by our board of directors.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation Gains and Losses
The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates, and revenue and expense amounts are translated at the average rate during the applicable periods reflected on the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income, except for the translation adjustment of short-term intercompany loans which are recorded as other income or expense. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, realized and unrealized in the event of foreign currency transactions not designated as hedges, and those transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, are recorded as gain (loss) on foreign currency translation in our consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred income tax assets which are not likely to be realized.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using only the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period, while diluted net income (loss) per share is computed assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants and obligations under escrow agreements during such period. For the fiscal years ended July 2, 2011 and June 27, 2009, there were no stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants or obligations under escrow agreements factored into the computation of diluted shares outstanding since we incurred a net loss in these periods which would have resulted in their inclusion having an anti-dilutive effect.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or of potential significance, to us.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, which updates accounting guidance to clarify that pro forma disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be accompanied by a narrative description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. ASU No. 2010-29 will be effective from the beginning of our fiscal year 2012. The adoption of this update will not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements as we currently present pro forma financial information in accordance with the disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2010-29.

Table of Contents

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, an amendment to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the ASC Topic 820 disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This amendment will be effective for our fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, but may require certain additional disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of our statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, we must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income that contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-05 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013. The adoption of this update will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of our current presentation.
Note 2. Fair Value
We define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices of identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our cash equivalents and non-current marketable securities are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most marketable securities and money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The types of instrument valued based on other observable inputs are foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
During fiscal year 2011, we classified earnout liabilities arising from our acquisition of Mintera Corporation (“Mintera”) within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because their values were primarily derived from management estimates of future operating results. See Note 3, Business Combinations, for additional details regarding these liabilities.

We have a defined benefit pension plan in Switzerland whose assets are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy for plan assets of cash, equity investments and fixed income investments, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for plan assets of real estate and alternative investments. These pension plan assets are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and are thus not included in the tables below.

Derivative Financial Instruments
At the end of each accounting period, we mark-to-market all foreign currency forward exchange contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying cash flow is settled and the contract is recognized in other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. As of July 2, 2011, we held five outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts to sell U.S. dollars and buy U.K. pounds sterling. All of these contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts had an aggregate notional value of approximately $4.0 million of put and call options which expire at various dates ranging from July 2011 through November 2011. To date, we have not entered into any such contracts for longer than 12 months and, accordingly, all amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of July 2, 2011 will generally be reclassified into other income (expense) within the next 12 months. As of July 2, 2011, each of the five designated cash flow hedges was determined to be fully effective; therefore, we recorded an unrealized gain of $0.1 million to accumulated other comprehensive income related to recording the fair value of these foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
Note 3. Business Combinations
During the fiscal years ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, we recorded $0.1 million and $2.5 million in legal and other direct acquisition-related costs in connection with business combinations. These costs are recorded within restructuring, acquisition and related costs in our consolidated statement of operations.
As of June 27, 2009, we had capitalized $0.3 million in legal and other deal-related costs associated with our acquisition of Newport Corporation’s (“Newport”) high-power laser diodes business. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, on June 28, 2009, we wrote-off these deferred assets to retained earnings as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
Fiscal Year 2009
Merger of Oclaro and Avanex
On January 27, 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement providing for the merger of Oclaro and Avanex. On April 27, 2009, we merged with Avanex through the merger of Avanex with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oclaro following approval by the stockholders of both companies. We issued approximately 17 million shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Avanex on April 27, 2009.
We accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. For accounting purposes, the fair value of the consideration paid to Avanex stockholders in the merger was $36.2 million; which includes the issuance of $31.8 million in common stock, based on a price of $1.87 per share of Oclaro common stock, which was the weighted-average of the closing market prices of our common stock for a period beginning two days before and ending two days after January 27, 2009, the day the merger was announced; $0.6 million for the assumption of vested stock options and warrants to purchase Oclaro common stock; and $3.9 million in acquisition-related transaction costs.
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price, including the fair value of common stock options and warrants assumed, professional fees and other related transaction costs, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of April 27, 2009:

Fiscal Year 2010
Sale of the New Focus Business and Acquisition of Newport’s High-Power Laser Diodes Business
On June 3, 2009, we signed a definitive agreement with Newport under which Newport agreed to acquire the net assets of our New Focus business in exchange for the net assets of Newport’s high power laser diodes business and $3.0 million in cash proceeds. The transaction closed on July 4, 2009. Under the agreement, we transferred to Newport substantially all of the operating assets used or held for use in our New Focus business. In exchange, we received substantially all of the operating assets of Newport’s Tucson, Arizona facility, as well as the intellectual property of the high power laser diodes business.
Our estimate of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the New Focus business transferred to Newport was $9.9 million. The carrying value of these assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 4, 2009, the date of the exchange, was $8.5 million. In the year ended July 3, 2010, we recorded a $1.4 million gain in income from discontinued operations from the sale of the New Focus business. The financial results of the New Focus business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The following table presents the statements of operations for the discontinued operations of the New Focus business for the fiscal years ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009. There were no discontinued operations in the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011.

Any excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the aggregate consideration given for such acquisition results in a gain on bargain purchase. In the year ended July 3, 2010, we recorded a gain on bargain purchase of $5.3 million in connection with the acquisition of Newport’s high-power laser diodes business, which is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The gain on bargain purchase reflects the completion of our full valuation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Adjustments resulting from the completion of the full valuation are presented retrospectively in our consolidated financial statements as though they had been recorded as of the acquisition date.
Acquisition of Xtellus
On December 17, 2009, we acquired Xtellus and accounted for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from this acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. During fiscal year 2011, we completed our fair value assessment of the Xtellus acquisition, which resulted in no change to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the amounts we previously reported in our 2010 Form 10-K. Under the terms of this acquisition, we issued approximately 3.7 million unregistered shares of Oclaro common stock with a fair value of $22.2 million as of the acquisition closing date, December 17, 2009. Of these shares issued, approximately 3.5 million shares were issued to former Xtellus stockholders and approximately 0.2 million shares were issued to certain former debt holders of Xtellus in order to extinguish outstanding Xtellus debt. The fair value of these shares was determined using the closing price of $6.70 per share of Oclaro common stock as of December 17, 2009, adjusted by a discount of 10.4 percent to reflect the lack of marketability due to the shares being unregistered and subject to restrictions on transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We are also obligated to pay an additional $7.0 million in consideration to the former Xtellus stockholders after an 18 month escrow period established to secure the indemnification obligations of the Xtellus stockholders under the acquisition agreement. We issued approximately 1.0 million shares of Oclaro common stock into a third-party escrow account to secure our obligation under the escrow agreement. We determined the net present fair value of this obligation to be $6.3 million at the acquisition date based on our incremental borrowing cost, initially recording this amount in other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at July 3, 2010. During fiscal years 2011 and 2010, we recorded $0.7 million and nil, respectively, in interest expense related to the Xtellus escrow liability. The $7.0 million became payable in June 2011 and remained outstanding as of July 2, 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we intend to settle this obligation through issuance of approximately 0.9 million shares of our common stock.
We also agreed to pay a valuation protection guarantee (“value protection liability”) whereby former stockholders of Xtellus were entitled to receive up to $7.0 million in additional consideration if Oclaro’s common stock traded below certain levels at the end of calendar year 2010 and if revenue from Xtellus products was more than $17.0 million in calendar year 2010. The estimated fair value of this valuation protection liability was $0.9 million at the acquisition date. This estimate was determined using management estimates of future operating results and a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the likelihood of achieving certain market conditions. During fiscal year 2010, we reassessed the fair value of this liability, determining that its value declined from $0.9 million at January 2, 2010 to nil at July 3, 2010. This $0.9 million change in fair value was recognized as income within restructuring, acquisition and related costs during the year ended July 3, 2010. This guarantee expired in December 2010 with no liability due.
For accounting purposes, the total fair value consideration given in connection with the acquisition of Xtellus was $29.4 million, consisting of the following:
         
    Total Consideration  
    (Thousands)  
Common shares issued to Xtellus stockholders and debtholders

This acquisition also provided for an employee retention program under which certain former Xtellus employees received up to an aggregate of $5.0 million in a combination of cash (up to a maximum of $1.0 million) and restricted stock awards which are generally subject to time-based vesting over two years and were partially subject to the achievement of certain revenue targets during calendar year 2010. The costs of this retention program are considered compensatory and are being recorded in our results of operations. During fiscal year 2010, we recorded $1.0 million in restructuring, acquisition and related costs in our consolidated statements of operations related to cash payments due under the retention program.
Fiscal Year 2011
Acquisition of Mintera
On July 21, 2010, we acquired Mintera, a privately-held company providing high-performance optical transport sub-systems solutions. We accounted for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from this acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. Under the terms of this agreement, we paid $10.5 million in cash to the former security holders and creditors of Mintera at the time of close and assumed $1.5 million in liabilities due by the security holders of Mintera, which we paid during fiscal year 2011. We also agreed to pay additional revenue-based consideration whereby former security holders of Mintera are entitled to receive up to $20.0 million, determined based on a set of sliding scale formulas, to the extent revenue from Mintera products is more than $29.0 million in the 12 months following the acquisition and/or more than $40.0 million in the 18 months following the acquisition. The earnout consideration, if any, will be payable in cash or, at our option, newly issued shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and stock, in October 2011 for the 12 month earnout liability and April 2012 for the 18 month earnout liability. Achieving cumulative revenues of $40.0 million over the 12 month period and $70.0 million over the 18 month period would lead to the maximum $20.0 million in additional consideration. The estimated fair value of these obligations were determined using management estimates of the total amounts expected to be paid based on estimated future operating results, discounted to their present value using our incremental borrowing cost. The estimated net present fair value of these obligations was $15.1 million at the acquisition date. As of July 2, 2011, we reassessed the fair value of these obligations, determining that their values should remain at $15.1 million plus accrued interest of approximately $1.0 million from the acquisition date. These amounts are recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at July 2, 2011.

Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Additions
In connection with our acquisition of the Newport high-power laser diodes business on July 4, 2009, we recorded $1.8 million in other intangible assets. The acquired other intangible assets from Newport consist of core and current technology assets of $1.1 million with a weighted average life of 6 years, customer relationships of $0.6 million with a weighted average life of 6 years, and contract backlog of $0.1 million with a weighted average life of 1.5 years.
In connection with our acquisition of Xtellus on December 17, 2009, we recorded $20.0 million in goodwill and $7.3 million in other intangible assets. The acquired other intangible assets from Xtellus consist of core and current technology assets of $3.1 million with a weighted average life of 8 years, customer relationships of $1.2 million with a weighted average life of 5.5 years, patents of $2.8 million with a weighted average life of 11.5 years and trade names of $0.2 million with a weighted average life of 8 years.
During fiscal year 2010, we also acquired through an asset purchase $0.7 million in core and current technology with a weighted average life of 6 years.
In connection with our acquisition of Mintera on July 21, 2010, we recorded $10.9 million in goodwill and $11.7 million in other intangible assets. The other intangible assets acquired from Mintera consist of core and current technology assets of $6.0 million with a weighted-average life of 6 years, a development agreement of $3.4 million with a weighted-average life of 7 years, customer relationships of $1.4 million with a weighted-average life of 8.5 years, manufacturing software of $0.7 million with a weighted-average life of 6 years, patents of $0.1 million with a weighted-average life of 5.5 years, trade names of $0.1 million with a weighted-average life of 1.5 years and backlog of $30,000 with a weighted-average life of 1.5 years.
Impairment Assessments
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 we completed our annual first step analysis for potential impairment of our goodwill, which included examining the impact of current general economic conditions on our future prospects and the current level of our market capitalization. Based on this analysis, we concluded that goodwill related to our wavelength selective switches (“WSS”) reporting unit was impaired. Our WSS reporting unit’s goodwill was originally recorded in connection with our acquisition of Xtellus. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 we also completed our second step analysis of goodwill impairment, determining that the $20.0 million of goodwill related to our WSS reporting unit was fully impaired. Based upon this evaluation, we recorded $20.0 million for the goodwill impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal year 2011. In conjunction with our second step goodwill impairment analysis, we also evaluated the fair value of the intangible assets of this reporting unit and concluded that such assets were not impaired.
During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, we observed indicators of potential impairment of our goodwill, including the impact of the current general economic downturn on our future prospects and the continued decline of our market capitalization, which caused us to conduct a goodwill impairment analysis. Specifically, indicators emerged within our New Focus reporting unit, which included the technology acquired in the March 2004 acquisition of Oclaro Photonics, Inc. and one other reporting unit that included the technology acquired in the March 2006 acquisition of Avalon Photonics AG (the Avalon reporting unit). These indicators led us to conclude that an impairment test was required to be performed for goodwill related to these reporting units.
During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, we determined, in our first step goodwill impairment analysis, that our goodwill related to the New Focus and Avalon reporting units was in fact impaired. We completed our full evaluation of the second step impairment analysis, which indicated that the goodwill was fully impaired. We recorded $7.9 million in goodwill impairment in our statement of operations for the year ended June 27, 2009.

Table of Contents

In conjunction with our full evaluation of the second step goodwill impairment analysis, we also evaluated the fair value of the intangible assets of these two reporting units. Based on this testing, we determined that the intangibles of our New Focus reporting unit and our Avalon reporting units were impaired. We recorded $1.2 million for the impairment loss related to these intangibles, net of $2.8 million associated with the discontinued operations of the New Focus business, in our statements of operations for the year ended June 27, 2009.
These impairments will not result in any current or future cash expenditures.
Amortization
Amortization of other intangible assets for the years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, was $2.8 million, $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Amortization is recorded as an operating expense within the consolidated statements of operations. Estimated future amortization expense of other intangible assets is $2.9 million for fiscal year 2012, $3.2 million for fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2015 and $2.7 million for fiscal year 2016 based on the current level of our intangible assets.

Note 5. Restructuring Liabilities
Fiscal Year 2009
In connection with earlier plans of restructuring, during fiscal year 2009 we accrued approximately $1.7 million in additional expenses for revised estimates of the cash flows for lease cancellations and commitments, and approximately $0.6 million for additional employee separation charges, and continued to make scheduled payments during fiscal year 2009, reducing the related lease liabilities and employee severance and retention obligations.
In connection with the merger with Avanex, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, we initiated an overhead cost reduction plan which included workforce reductions as well as facility and site consolidation of our Fremont, California and Villebon, France locations. We also assumed from Avanex facilities-related restructuring accruals of $6.2 million related to four locations in Fremont and Newark, California and one location in Villebon, France. During fiscal year 2009, we accrued restructuring charges of approximately $0.3 million for lease commitments related to vacating the Fremont and Villebon locations, and approximately $5.1 million for employee separation charges, and continued to make scheduled payments, reducing the related lease liabilities and employee severance and retention obligations.
Fiscal Year 2010
In connection with earlier cost reduction and restructuring plans, we accrued $0.4 million in additional expenses, net of adjustments, for revised estimates related to lease cancellations and commitments and $2.2 million in additional employee separation costs.
During fiscal year 2010, we initiated a new restructuring plan resulting from our acquisition of Newport’s high-power laser diodes business. This plan involved the transfer of Newport’s high-power laser diodes manufacturing operations from Tucson, Arizona to our European manufacturing facilities. We incurred $0.5 million in restructuring accruals for employee separation charges under the Newport plan. During fiscal year 2010, we also wrote-down $0.8 million in inventory, which became impaired through the integration of our WSS product lines.
Fiscal Year 2011
We incurred $1.5 million in employee separation costs during fiscal year 2011 in connection with cost reduction and restructuring plans, including $0.6 million related to a restructuring plan specific to our acquisition of Mintera. During fiscal year 2011, we recorded reductions to our restructuring reserve of $0.5 million resulting from revised estimates for lease cancellations and commitments and other charges. We also recorded a reduction to our restructuring reserve of $0.2 million related to employee separation costs during fiscal year 2011. We do not expect to incur significant additional restructuring costs in connection with previously announced restructuring plans.
As of July 2, 2011, our $0.2 million in accrued restructuring liabilities relates to an inventory impairment.
For all periods presented, separation payments under the restructuring and cost reduction efforts were accrued and charged to restructuring in the period that the amounts were both determined and communicated to the affected employees.

Note 6. Credit Agreement
Information presented in this footnote reflects the terms and conditions of our senior secured credit facility as of July 2, 2011. See Note 16, Subsequent Event, for a description of a further amendment and restatement of this credit facility made on July 26, 2011.
On August 2, 2006, we entered into a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. and other lenders. On April 27, 2009, we, with our wholly-owned subsidiaries Oclaro Technology Ltd, Oclaro Photonics, Inc. and Oclaro Technology, Inc., collectively the Borrowers, entered into an amendment to the existing credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. and other lenders regarding the $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, extending the term to August 1, 2012. We further amended the Amended Credit Agreement from time to time, most recently on May 13, 2011. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, advances are available based on 80 percent of “qualified accounts receivable,” as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Oclaro, Oclaro (North America), Inc., Oclaro (Canada) Inc., Bookham Nominees Limited and Bookham International Ltd., each also a wholly-owned subsidiary, (which are referred to collectively as the Guarantors and together with the Borrowers, as the Obligors), and are secured pursuant to a security agreement, or the Security Agreement, by the assets of the Obligors, including a pledge of the capital stock holdings of the Obligors in some of their direct subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, borrowings made under the facility bear interest at a rate based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.75 percentage points or the bank’s prime rate plus 1.75 percentage points. In the absence of an event of default, any amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement may be repaid and re-borrowed anytime until maturity, which is August 1, 2012.

 

F-24


Table of Contents

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement, which includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, a cross-default related to indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million or more, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to such matters as ERISA and certain judgments in excess of $1.0 million, and a change of control default. The Amended Credit Agreement contains negative covenants applicable to the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, including a financial covenant that the Borrowers maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of EBITDA minus capital expenditures made or incurred during such period, to fixed charges for such period), of no less than 1.10 to 1.00, if the Borrowers have not maintained “minimum liquidity” (defined as $30.0 million of qualified cash and excess availability, each as also defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), and to also include restrictions on liens, investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes to the Borrower’s business, dispositions of property, making certain restricted payments (including restrictions on dividends and stock repurchases), entering into new lines of business and transactions with affiliates.
In connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, we paid a closing fee of $250,000 and agreed to pay a monthly servicing fee of $3,000 and an unused line fee equal to 0.50 percentage points per annum, payable monthly on the unused amount of revolving credit commitments. To the extent there are letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are obligated to pay the administrative agent a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to 3.50 percentage points per annum.
As of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. At July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there were $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in outstanding standby letters of credit with vendors secured under the Amended Credit Agreement. The outstanding standby letters of credit for $1.1 million expire at various intervals through April 2014.
Note 7. Post-Retirement Benefits
401(k) Plan
In the U.S., we sponsor a 401(k) plan that allows voluntary contributions by eligible employees, who may elect to contribute up to the maximum allowed under the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regulations. We generally make 50 percent matching contributions (up to a maximum of $9,800 per eligible employee per year) and we recorded related expenses of $0.9 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million in the fiscal years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively.
Defined Contribution Plan
We contribute to a U.K. based defined contribution pension scheme for employees. Contributions under this plan and the related expenses were $1.3 million, $1.1 million and $1.1 million in the fiscal years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively.
Switzerland Defined Benefit Plan
We have a pension plan covering employees of our Swiss subsidiary (the “Swiss plan”) which has historically not been recorded in the financial statements because the amounts were immaterial. Due to the increased significance of our Swiss pension plan in fiscal year 2010, we concluded that as of July 3, 2010 our Swiss pension plan should be recorded as a defined benefit plan. As a result, we increased other non-current liabilities by $1.5 million and other non-current assets by $0.3 million, and decreased accumulated other comprehensive income by $1.2 million, net of tax, to reflect the under-funded pension liability.
Employer and employee contributions are made to the Swiss plan based on various percentages of salary and wages that vary according to employee age and other factors. Employer contributions to the Swiss plan for years ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 were $2.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Employer contributions to the Swiss plan in fiscal year 2012 are estimated to be approximately $2.6 million.

The projected and accumulated benefit obligations for the Swiss plan were calculated as of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 using the following assumptions:
                 
    Year Ended  
    July 2, 2011     July 3, 2010  
Discount rate
    3.0 %     3.0 %
Salary increase rate
    2.0 %     2.0 %
Expected return on plan assets
    4.0 %     4.0 %
Expected average remaining working life (in years)
    13.8       13.7  
The discount rate is based on assumed pension benefit maturity and estimates developed using the rate of return and yield curves for high quality Swiss corporate and government bonds. The 2.0 percent salary increase rate is based on our best assessment for on-going increases over time. The 4.0 percent expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the expected asset allocation and taking into consideration historical long-term rates of return for the relevant asset categories.
The Swiss plan is legally separate from Oclaro, as are the assets of the plan. As of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, the Swiss plan’s asset allocation was as follows:
                 
    July 2, 2011     July 3, 2010  
Fixed income investments
    33.0 %     24.0 %
Equity investments
    48.0 %     48.0 %
Real estate
    10.0 %     11.0 %
Cash
    7.0 %     15.0 %
Alternative investments
    2.0 %     2.0 %
 
           
 
    100.0 %     100.0 %
 
           
The Swiss plan assets are measured at fair value and are classified into two distinct levels of the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 2, Fair Value. The Swiss plan assets are comprised of Level 1 assets, which include cash, equity investments and fixed income investments, and Level 3 assets, which include real estate and alternative investments. The investment strategy of the Swiss plan’s pension committee is to achieve a consistent long-term return which will provide sufficient funding for future pension obligations while limiting risk. The investment strategy is reviewed regularly.
None of the $2.7 million balance in accumulated other comprehensive income at July 2, 2011 is expected to be amortized into net periodic benefit income in fiscal year 2012. Estimated future benefit payments from the Swiss plan are $0.9 million in fiscal year 2012, $1.2 million in fiscal year 2013, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2014, $1.4 million in fiscal year 2015, $1.4 million in fiscal year 2016 and $12.1 million in the following five years.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees
We indemnify our directors and certain employees as permitted by law, and have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We have not recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements, as we historically have not incurred any material costs associated with such indemnification obligations. Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that we maintain, however, such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts we may be required to pay. In addition, we may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in the future.
We also have indemnification clauses in various contracts that we enter into in the normal course of business, such as indemnifications in favor of customers in respect of liabilities they may incur as a result of purchasing our products should such products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. We have not historically paid out any material amounts related to these indemnifications; therefore, no accrual has been made for these indemnifications.

Warranty accrual
We accrue for the estimated costs to provide warranty services at the time revenue is recognized. Our estimate of costs to service our warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent we experience increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, our warranty costs would increase, resulting in a decrease in gross profit and a decrease in our net income, or an increase in our net loss.
The following table summarizes movements in the warranty accrual for the periods indicated:

Litigation
On June 26, 2001, the first of a number of securities class actions was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against New Focus, Inc., now known as Oclaro Photonics, Inc. (“New Focus”), certain of our officers and directors, and certain underwriters for New Focus’ initial and secondary public offerings. A consolidated amended class action complaint, captioned In re New Focus, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ. 5822, was filed on April 20, 2002. The complaint generally alleges that various underwriters engaged in improper and undisclosed activities related to the allocation of shares in New Focus’ initial public offering and seeks unspecified damages for claims under the Exchange Act on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of common stock from May 17, 2000 to December 6, 2000.
The lawsuit against New Focus is coordinated for pretrial proceedings with a number of other pending litigations challenging underwriter practices in over 300 cases, as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS), including actions against Bookham Technology plc, now known as Oclaro Technology Ltd (“Bookham Technology”) and Avanex Corporation, now known as Oclaro (North America), Inc. (“Avanex”), and certain of each entity’s respective officers and directors, and certain of the underwriters of their public offerings. In October 2002, the claims against the directors and officers of New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex were dismissed, without prejudice, subject to the directors’ and officers’ execution of tolling agreements.
The parties have reached a global settlement of the litigation. On October 5, 2009, the Court entered an order certifying a settlement class and granting final approval of the settlement. Under the settlement, the insurers will pay the full amount of the settlement share allocated to New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, and New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex will bear no financial liability. New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, as well as the officer and director defendants who were previously dismissed from the action pursuant to tolling agreements, will receive complete dismissals from the case. Certain objectors have appealed the Court’s October 5, 2009 order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. If for any reason the settlement does not become effective, we believe that Bookham Technology, New Focus and Avanex have meritorious defenses to the claims and therefore believe that such claims will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 6, 2010, a bankruptcy preferential transfer avoidance action was filed by Nortel Networks Inc. et al. against Oclaro Technology Ltd. (formerly Bookham Technology Plc.) and Oclaro (North America), Inc. (formerly Avanex Corporation) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Adversary Proceeding No. 10-55919-KG. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Nortel Networks Inc., and/or its affiliated debtors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases also pending before the Delaware Bankruptcy Court (Jointly Administered Case No. 09-10138-KG), made at least approximately $4.6 million in preferential transfers to the defendants’ predecessors, Bookham Technology Plc. and Avanex Corporation, in the 90 days prior to the commencement of the Nortel Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases on January 14, 2009. We intend to vigorously contest the claims set forth in the complaint.

On May 19, 2011, Curtis and Charlotte Westley filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against us and certain of our officers and directors, allegedly on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between May 6 and October 27, 2010. The complaint, captioned as Westley v. Oclaro, Inc., No. 11 Civ. 2448 EMC (N.D. Cal. filed May 19, 2011), alleges generally that defendants issued materially false and misleading statements during the relevant time period regarding our current business and financial condition, including projections for our revenues, earnings, and gross margins, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as well as the full fiscal year. The complaint alleges violations of section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, as well as section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. The complaint seeks damages and costs of an unspecified amount. Discovery has not commenced, and no trial has been scheduled in this action. We intend to defend this litigation vigorously.
On June 10, 2011, a purported shareholder, Stanley Moskal, filed a purported derivative action in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara, against us, as nominal defendant, and certain of our current and former officers and directors, as defendants. The case is styled Moskal v. Couder, No. 1:11 CV 202880 (Santa Clara County Super. Ct. filed June 10, 2011). Four other purported shareholders, Matteo Guindani, Jermaine Coney, Jefferson Braman and Toby Aguilar, separately filed substantially similar lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on June 27, June 28, July 7 and July 26, 2011, respectively. The cases are styled Guindani v. Couder, No. 11 Civ. 3176 PSG (N.D. Cal. filed June 27, 2011), Coney v. Couder, No. 11 Civ. 3214 HRL (N.D. Cal. filed June 28, 2011), and Braman v. Couillaud, No. 11 Civ. 3322 RS (N.D. Cal. filed July 7, 2011), and Aguilar v. Couillaud, No. 11 CV 3668 EDL (N.D. Cal. filed July 26, 2011). Each purported derivative complaint alleges that Oclaro has been, or will be, damaged by the actions alleged in the Westley complaint, and the litigation of the Westley action, and any damages or settlement paid in the Westley action. Each purported derivative complaint alleges counts for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste, and unjust enrichment. Additionally, the complaint in Aguilar alleges claims for contribution pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act, and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. Each purported derivative complaint seeks damages and costs of an unspecified amount, as well as injunctive relief. Discovery has not commenced, and no trial has been scheduled in any of these actions. We intend to defend this litigation vigorously.
Sale-Leaseback
On March 10, 2006, our Oclaro Technology Ltd subsidiary entered into multiple agreements with a subsidiary of Scarborough Development (Scarborough) for the sale and leaseback of the land and buildings located at our Caswell, U.K., manufacturing site. The sale transaction, which closed on March 30, 2006, resulted in immediate proceeds to Oclaro Technology Ltd of £13.75 million (approximately U.S. $24 million on the date of the transaction). Under these agreements, Oclaro Technology Ltd leases back the Caswell site for an initial term of 20 years, with options to renew the lease term for 5 years following the initial term and for rolling 2-year terms thereafter. Based on the exchange rate of $1.61 as of July 1, 2011, annual rent for the next 5 years of the lease is approximately £1.2 million, or $2.0 million per year; annual rent for the subsequent 5 years of the lease is approximately £1.4 million, or $2.3 million per year; and annual rent for the last 5 years of the lease is approximately £1.6 million, or $2.6 million per year. Rent during the optional renewal terms will be determined according to the then market rent for the site. The obligations of Oclaro Technology Ltd under these agreements are guaranteed by us. In addition, Scarborough and Oclaro entered into a pre-emption agreement with the buyer under which Oclaro Technology Ltd, within the initial 20-year term, has a right to purchase the Caswell site in whole or in part on terms acceptable to Scarborough if Scarborough agrees to terms with or receives an offer from a third party to purchase the Caswell facility. As a result of these agreements, we deferred a related gain of $20.4 million, which is being amortized ratably against rent expense over the initial 20-year term of the lease. As of July 2, 2011, the unamortized balance of this deferred gain was $13.9 million.
At the inception of the Caswell lease, we determined the total minimum lease payments which were to be paid over the lease term, and we are recognizing the effects of scheduled rent increases, which are included in the total minimum lease payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
On May 12, 2010, we completed a public offering of 6.9 million shares of our common stock pursuant to a shelf registration statement that was previously filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We received net proceeds of approximately $77.1 million from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
On April 14, 2010, we announced that our board of directors had approved a 1-for-5 reverse split of our common stock, pursuant to previously obtained stockholder authorization. This reverse stock split, which became effective at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 29, 2010, reduced the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 212 million to approximately 42 million and reduced the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 450 million to 90 million.
On December 17, 2009, in connection with our acquisition of Xtellus, we issued approximately 3.7 million shares of our common stock to the former shareholders and debt holders of Xtellus, and issued approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock into a third-party escrow account to secure our obligations under an 18 month escrow agreement entered into in connection with this acquisition. This obligation remained outstanding as of July 2, 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we intend to settle this obligation through the issuance of approximately 0.9 million shares of our common stock.
On April 27, 2009, in connection with the merger of Avanex and Oclaro, we issued approximately 17.0 million shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Avanex.

As of July 2, 2011, the exercise price was $13.48 per share, which is subject to adjustment based on a weighted average anti-dilution formula if we effect certain equity issuances in the future for consideration per share that is less than the then current exercise price per share of such warrants.
On August 31, 2006, we entered into a private placement agreement which included issuance of warrants to purchase up to 434,804 shares of common stock. On September 19, 2006, through a second closing of this private placement, we issued additional warrants to purchase up to 144,935 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable during the period beginning on March 2, 2007 through September 1, 2011, at an exercise price of $20.00 per share.

Note 10. Employee Stock Plans
Our Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) was amended by stockholder approval on October 27, 2010. The primary changes to the Plan resulting from this amendment include: (1) an increase in the number of shares available under the Plan from 3.8 million shares to 7.8 million shares, (2) issuance of full value awards being counted as 1.25 shares of common stock for purposes of the share limit, and (3) a prohibition on recycling of repurchased shares in cases where shares are used to exercise an award or shares are withheld for taxes. As amended, the Plan now expires on October 26, 2020.
On November 2, 2009, we filed a “Tender Offer Statement” on Schedule TO with the SEC, related to an offer by us to certain of our employees to exchange some or all of their outstanding options to purchase our common stock for fewer replacement stock options with exercise prices equal to $6.80 per share, which was the closing price per share of our common stock on December 2, 2009, the date of grant and the last day of the tender offer (“the Offer”). A stock option was eligible for exchange in the Offer if: (i) it had an exercise price of at least $10.00 per share; (ii) it was granted at least 12 months prior to the commencement of the Offer; (iii) it was held by an employee who was eligible to participate in the Offer; and (iv) it remained outstanding (i.e., unexpired and unexercised) as of the date of grant of the replacement options (“Eligible Options”). We made the Offer to all of our U.S. and international employees who held Eligible Options (“Eligible Employees”), except for (i) members of our board of directors and (ii) our named executive officers. As of December 2, 2009, when the Offer expired, Eligible Employees surrendered approximately 0.8 million Eligible Options with a weighted-average exercise price of $37.55 per share in exchange for approximately 0.4 million replacement stock options with an exercise price of $6.80 per share. The fair value of the replacement options granted was measured as the total of the unrecognized compensation cost of the original options tendered and the incremental compensation cost of the new options granted. The incremental compensation cost of the new options granted was measured as the excess of the fair value of the new options granted over the fair value of the original options immediately before cancellation. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the original options tendered will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the original options. The incremental compensation cost of the new options granted was $20,000.
During fiscal year 2010, we reduced our shares available for grant by 0.7 million shares, of which 0.6 million shares available for grant were cancelled in connection with the Offer and 0.1 million shares available for grant were cancelled upon the expiration of the Avanex Corporation 1998 Stock Plan in December 2009.

There were approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock subject to in-the-money options which were exercisable as of July 2, 2011. We settle employee stock option exercises with newly issued shares of common stock.
Note 11. Stock-based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense in our statement of operations related to all share-based awards, including grants of stock options, based on the grant date fair value of such share-based awards. Estimating the grant date fair value of such share-based wards requires us to make judgments in the determination of inputs into the Black-Scholes-Merton stock option pricing model which we use to arrive at an estimate of the grant date fair value for such awards. This model requires assumptions to be made related to expected stock price volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. While the risk-free interest rate is a less subjective assumption, typically based on factual data derived from public sources, the expected stock price volatility and option life assumptions require a greater level of judgment, which makes them critical accounting estimates. We have not issued and do not anticipate issuing dividends to stockholders and accordingly use a zero percent dividend yield assumption for all Black-Scholes-Merton stock option pricing calculations. We use an expected stock-price volatility assumption that is based on an implied and historical realized volatility of our underlying common stock during a period of time. With regard to the weighted-average option life assumption, we evaluate the exercise behavior of past grants and comparison to industry peer companies as a basis to predict future activity.
The weighted-average assumptions used in this model to value stock option grants for the fiscal years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 were as follows:
                         
    Year Ended  
    July 2, 2011     July 3, 2010     June 27, 2009

We have not provided for U.S. federal and state income taxes on non-U.S. subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings as of July 2, 2011 because such earnings are intended to be reinvested in the operations of our international subsidiaries indefinitely. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to applicable U.S. federal and state income taxes.
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets are as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses and our forecast of future taxable income, which are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage our underlying businesses.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will utilize net operating losses in one of our foreign jurisdictions due to current earnings and projections of future profitability. Accordingly, we released $1.3 million of our valuation allowance against $1.3 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. This amount represented the entire remaining deferred tax asset related to the accumulated net operating losses of the foreign jurisdiction. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the tax attributes in other jurisdictions, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our remaining foreign and domestic deferred tax assets as of July 2, 2011.
As of July 2, 2011, we had foreign net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $480.9 million, $19.3 million, $0.1 million and $2.3 million in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada and France, respectively. The United Kingdom and France net operating losses do not expire, the Swiss net operating loss will expire at various times from 2012 through 2019 if unused, and the Canada net operating loss will expire at various times from 2028 through 2031. We also have U.S. federal and California net operating losses of approximately $151.3 million and $78.8 million, respectively, which will expire in various years from 2012 through 2032 if unused. As of July 2, 2011, we had U.S. federal, California and foreign research and development credits of approximately $0.7 million, $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The U.S. federal credits will expire from 2012 through 2032. The California credits may be carried forward indefinitely and the foreign credits will expire at various times from 2027 through 2030 if unused.
Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards are subject to annual limitations due to ownership changes as provided in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state and foreign tax laws. This annual limitation may result in the expiration of a significant portion of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits before utilization.
Our total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of July 2, 2011 was approximately $6.9 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $1.8 million as of July 2, 2011. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome of any particular uncertain tax position, we do not expect that changes to our unrecognized tax benefits will be significant in the next twelve months. Unrecognized deferred tax benefits related to stock-based awards totaled $1.1 million and $0.1 million for federal and state as of July 2, 2011, respectively, and if and when realized through a reduction in income taxes payable, will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital.
A reconciliation of the beginning balance and the ending balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, net of interest and penalties, for fiscal year ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 is as follows:
                 
    Year Ended

    (3,844 )      
 
           
Balance at end of period
  $ 6,853     $ 8,397  
 
           
We include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes on our consolidated statements of operations. As of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, we had accrued approximately $0.3 million and $18,000 for payment of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, respectively.
We file U.S. federal, state and foreign tax returns and have determined that our major tax jurisdictions are the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Switzerland and China. Certain jurisdictions remain open to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies; U.S. federal, Italy, France, and China tax years 2006 to 2010, various U.S. states tax years 2005 to 2010, and the United Kingdom tax years 2004 to 2010. We are currently under audit in the United States and France.

Basic net income (loss) per share
  $ (0.96 )   $ 0.31     $ (1.40 )
Diluted net income (loss) per share
  $ (0.96 )   $ 0.29     $ (1.40 )
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using only the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period, while diluted net income (loss) per share is computed assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants and obligations under escrow agreements during such period.
For fiscal years 2011 and 2009, there were no stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants or obligations under escrow agreements factored into the computation of diluted shares outstanding since we incurred a net loss in these periods which would have resulted in their inclusion having an anti-dilutive effect.
For fiscal years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, we excluded 5.1 million, 3.2 million and 4.5 million, respectively, of outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock units from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions
In connection with the merger with Avanex on April 27, 2009, we entered into a one year consulting agreement with Giovanni Barbarossa, which became effective upon consummation of the merger. Under the consulting agreement, Dr. Barbarossa provided consulting services to us for the purpose of assisting in the integration of Avanex’s operations into those of Oclaro, including, among other things, advice and assistance on strategic and technological matters and customer relations. Under the consulting agreement, Dr. Barbarossa received consulting fees of $300,000 and $60,000 for the fiscal years ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively.
Note 16. Subsequent Event
On August 2, 2006, Oclaro, Inc., along with Oclaro Technology Ltd., Oclaro Photonics, Inc. and Oclaro Technology, Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oclaro (collectively the “Original Borrowers”), entered into a credit agreement, or the “Original Credit Agreement,” with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. and certain other lenders, which Original Credit Agreement has previously been amended from time to time. See Note 6, Credit Agreement, for additional information.
On July 26, 2011, Oclaro Technology Ltd., as “Borrower,” and Oclaro, Inc., as “Parent,” entered into an amendment and restatement to the Original Credit Agreement, or the “Credit Agreement,” with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. and the other lenders regarding the senior secured revolving credit facility, increasing the facility size from $25 million to $45 million and extending the term thereof to August 1, 2014. Under the Credit Agreement, advances are available based on 80 percent of “qualified accounts receivable,” as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Parent and all significant subsidiaries of Parent and Borrower (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and are secured, pursuant to two security agreements (the “Security Agreements”), by substantially all of the assets of Borrower and Guarantors, including a pledge of the capital stock holdings of the Borrower and certain Guarantors in their direct subsidiaries.
Borrowings made under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.50 percentage points or the bank’s prime rate plus 1.50 percentage points. In the absence of an event of default, any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time until maturity, which is August 1, 2014.

 

F-38


Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement contains negative covenants applicable to Parent, Borrower and their subsidiaries, including a financial covenant that, on a consolidated basis, requires Parent to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.00, if Parent and its subsidiaries have not maintained “minimum liquidity” (defined as $15 million of qualified cash and excess availability, each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement also contains restrictions on liens, certain investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes to the Borrower’s business, certain dispositions of property, making certain restricted payments (including restrictions on dividends and stock repurchases), entering into new lines of business and transactions with affiliates.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, which includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, a cross-default related to indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $2.0 million or more, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to such matters as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and certain judgments in excess of $2.0 million and a change of control default.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Borrower paid a closing fee of $250,000 and agreed to pay a monthly servicing fee of $3,000 and a variable unused line fee equal to between 0.375 and 0.50 percentage points per annum, payable monthly on the unused amount of revolving credit commitments. To the extent there are letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is obligated to pay the administrative agent a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to 3.3 percentage points per annum.
Note 17. Selected Quarterly Consolidated Financial Data (Unaudited)
The following tables set forth our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations data for each of the eight quarterly periods ended July 2, 2011. We have prepared this unaudited information on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements, reflecting all normal recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the fiscal quarters presented. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore, the sum of quarterly basic and diluted per share information may not equal annual basic and diluted net income (loss) per share.

A. Agent, Lenders and Borrowers have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2006 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated, or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”).
B. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders desire to amend the Credit Agreement as provided for and on the conditions herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby amend and supplement the Credit Agreement as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. All initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement unless specifically defined herein.
2. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
(a) Sections 2.4(b)(ii)(H) and (I) of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended in its entirety to reads as follows:
(H) eighth, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all Swing Loans until paid in full, (ii) to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, (iii) to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the ratable benefit of Issuing Lender and those Lenders having a Revolver Commitment, as cash collateral in an amount up to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, and (iv) to pay Bank Product Obligations to the Bank Product Providers based upon amounts then certified by the applicable Bank Product Provider to Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) to be due and payable to such Bank Product Providers,

(b) Each Cash Management Bank shall establish and maintain Cash Management Agreements with Agent and the applicable Obligor, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent.

Agent agrees not to issue an Activation Instruction with respect to the Cash Management Accounts unless a Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing at the time such Activation Instruction is issued.

(d) Each Cash Management Account shall be a cash collateral account subject to a Control Agreement.
(d) Section 6.16(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to reads as follows:
(b) [Reserved]
(e) The following definitions in Schedule 1.1 of the Agreement are hereby amended to read as follows:

CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of July 26, 2011, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (each of such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter as a “Lender”, as that term is hereinafter further defined), WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE, INC., a California corporation, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), OCLARO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and OCLARO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Borrower”).
WHEREAS, Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and Parent, Borrower and other Subsidiaries of Parent as borrowers, on the other hand, are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2006 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the Closing Date, the “Original Credit Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Parent and Borrower have requested that the Original Credit Agreement be amended and restated to, among other things, extend the maturity of the obligations thereunder and remove certain parties as borrowers thereunder.
WHEREAS, subject to the foregoing, Agent and the Lenders are willing to so amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; it being understood that no repayment of the outstanding amounts payable under the Original Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date is being effected hereby but is merely an amendment and restatement in accordance with the terms hereof.
The parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.
1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent and Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrower after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by the Required Lenders, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Borrower” or the term “Parent” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Parent and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
1.3 Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the Code shall govern.

1.4 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash or immediately available funds (or, (a) in the case of contingent reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, providing Letter of Credit Collateralization, and (b) in the case of obligations with respect to Bank Products (other than Hedge Obligations), providing Bank Product Collateralization) of all of the Obligations (including the payment of any Lender Group Expenses that have accrued irrespective of whether demand has been made therefor and the payment of any termination amount then applicable (or which would or could become applicable as a result of the repayment of the other Obligations) under Hedge Agreements provided by Hedge Providers) other than (i) unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations, (ii) any Bank Product Obligations (other than Hedge Obligations) that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid or cash collateralized, and (iii) any Hedge Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedge Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record.
1.5 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.
2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Revolver Advances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (“Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:
(i) such Lender’s Revolver Commitment, or
(ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of:
(A) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (1) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time, and
(B) the Borrowing Base at such time less the sum of (1) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time.

(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to establish, increase, reduce, eliminate, or otherwise adjust reserves from time to time against the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, including (i) reserves in an amount equal to the Bank Product Reserve Amount, and (ii) reserves with respect to (A) sums that Parent or its Subsidiaries are required to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay when due, and (B) amounts owing by Parent or its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, or preferential claim by operation of law over, or claim of retention of title to, any of the Collateral (other than a Permitted Lien which is a permitted purchase money Lien or the interest of a lessor under a Capital Lease), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to Agent’s Liens (such as Liens, preferred claims, claims of retention of title, or trusts in favor of employees, creditors, landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral.
2.2 Reserved.
2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.
(a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent. Unless Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(b) below, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day; provided, however, that if Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan as to a requested Borrowing, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date. At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.
(b) Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for an Advance and so long as either (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus the amount of Collections or payments applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested Advance does not exceed $4,500,000, or (ii) Swing Lender, in its sole discretion, shall agree to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender shall make an Advance in the amount of such requested Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and such Advances being referred to as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to the Designated Account. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Swing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make Swing Loans at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Section 3) applicable to other Advances, except that all payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any

Swing Loan if Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Advances and Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.3(b) to the contrary, at any time that there is only one Lender, the Swing Lender shall not be obligated to make a Swing Loan and requested Borrowings shall be made pursuant to Section 2.3(c).
(c) Making of Loans.
(i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Agent shall not request any Lender to make any Advance if it has knowledge that, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make any Advance, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:00 a.m. (California time) on the date of a Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and if Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Borrowing.
(d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.
(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied, to make Advances to, or for the benefit of, Borrower on behalf of the Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”).

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swing Loans) to Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than $4,500,000, and (B) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrower to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Revolver Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrower, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.5. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in Section 2.3(e) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.3(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.
(iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that no Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. The ability of Agent to make Protective Advances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Overadvances and its ability to make Overadvances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Protective Advances. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on Agent’s ability to make Protective Advances do not apply to Overadvances and the limitations on Agent’s ability to make Overadvances do not apply to Protective Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower in any way.

(e) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Protective Advances or Overadvances, and (3) with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.3(g)): (y) if the amount of the Advances (including Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances), and (z) if the amount of the Advances (including Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans, Overadvances, or Protective Advances and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans, Overadvances, or Protective Advances representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.
(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.
(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Protective Advances, Overadvances, or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to the Protective Advances, Overadvances, or Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Protective Advances, Overadvances, or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections or payments of Parent or its Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has implemented the provisions of Section 2.3(g)), to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Protective Advances and Overadvances, and each Lender with respect to the Advances other than Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) Anything in this Section 2.3(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(g).
(f) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Advances owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Protective Advances and Overadvances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.
(g) Defaulting Lenders. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any Collections or proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to Swing Lender to the extent of any Swing Loans that were made by Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to the Issuing Lender, to the extent of the portion of a Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Revolver Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of an Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other non-Defaulting Lender), (D) to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (L) of Section 2.4(b)(ii). Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.10(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. The provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, Issuing Lender, and Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.3(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of this Section 2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Revolver Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent, Issuing Lender, or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Revolver Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that any such assumption of the Revolver Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern.

(h) Independent Obligations. All Advances (other than Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Revolver Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.
2.4 Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.
(a) Payments by Borrower.
(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
(b) Apportionment and Application.
(i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments received by Agent shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees and expenses received by Agent (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account or for the separate account of the Issuing Lender) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Revolver Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates. All payments to be made hereunder by Borrower shall be remitted to Agent and all (subject to Section 2.4(b)(iv) and Section 2.4(b)(ii)) such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the Advances outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(iv) In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, Section 2.4(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(v) For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(ii), “paid in full” of a type of Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.
(vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the provisions of Section 2.3(g) and this Section 2.4, then the provisions of Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.
(c) Reduction of Revolver Commitments. The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Borrower may reduce the Revolver Commitments to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Advances not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrower under Section 2.3(a), plus (C) the amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is not less than [***] (unless the Revolver Commitments are being reduced to zero and the amount of the Revolver Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than [***]), shall be made by providing not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice to Agent, and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof.
(d) Optional Prepayments. Borrower may prepay the principal of any Advance at any time in whole or in part.
2.5 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed by Borrower to the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.11 is greater than any of the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.11, as applicable (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately (or, with respect to any intentional Overadvances made by Agent pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(ii), on such other terms as shall be imposed by Agent and Lenders) pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b).
2.6 Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows:
(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, and
(ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders with a Revolver Commitment), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.11(f)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate Margin per annum times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
(c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and at the election of the Required Lenders,
(i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder, and
(ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Section 2.6(b) shall be increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
(d) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.10 or Section 2.12(a), all interest, all Letter of Credit fees, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Revolver Commitments are outstanding. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge all interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when due and payable), all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when accrued or incurred), and all Lender Group Expenses (as and when accrued or incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.11(f) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payment obligations as and when due and payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products) to the Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and, initially, shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. Any interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any Bank Product Agreement that are charged to the Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Advances hereunder and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
(e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.
(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

2.7 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If any payment item is received into Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
2.8 Designated Account. Agent is authorized to make the Advances and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, any Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.
2.9 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Advances (including Protective Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Issuing Lender for Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.7, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. Agent shall render monthly statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.
2.10 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent,
(a) for the account of Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
(b) for the ratable account of those Lenders with Revolver Commitments, on the first day of each month from and after the Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the Payoff Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to (i) 0.50% per annum times the result of (A) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, less (B) the average Daily Balance of the Revolver Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof) if the result of clauses (A) and (B) above is greater than or equal to $22,500,000, and (ii) 0.375% per annum times the result of (A) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, less (B) the average Daily Balance of the Revolver Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof) if the result of clauses (A) and (B) above is less than $22,500,000.

2.11 Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower made in accordance herewith, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue, or to cause an Underlying Issuer (including, as Issuing Lender’s agent) to issue, a requested Letter of Credit. If Issuing Lender, at its option, elects to cause an Underlying Issuer to issue a requested Letter of Credit, then Issuing Lender agrees that it will enter into arrangements relative to the reimbursement of such Underlying Issuer (which may include, among other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit or entering into undertakings which provide for reimbursements of such Underlying Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit; each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a “Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Underlying Issuer. By submitting a request to Issuing Lender for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Lender issue or that an Underlying Issuer issue the requested Letter of Credit and to have requested Issuing Lender to issue a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect to such requested Letter of Credit if it is to be issued by an Underlying Issuer (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Borrower that Borrower is and shall be deemed to be an applicant (within the meaning of Section 5-102(a)(2) of the Code) with respect to each Underlying Letter of Credit). Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to the Issuing Lender via hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and shall specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (iii) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (v) such other information (including, the conditions of drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit or to issue a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, that supports the obligations of Parent or its Subsidiaries (1) in respect of (A) a lease of real property, or (B) an employment contract, or (2) at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:
(i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing Base less the outstanding amount of Advances (inclusive of Swing Loans), or
(ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $10,000,000, or
(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount of Advances (including Swing Loans).
Borrower and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer at the request of Borrower on the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender makes a payment under a Letter of Credit or an Underlying Issuer makes a payment under an Underlying Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 3), Borrower’s obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Lender shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

(b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.11(a), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on the same terms and conditions as if Borrower had requested the amount thereof as an Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Revolver Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Lender and each Reimbursement Undertaking, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.11(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded (or that Agent or Issuing Lender elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrower for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.
(c) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group and each Underlying Issuer harmless from any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16), and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer arising out of or in connection with any Reimbursement Undertaking or any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer. Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any Reimbursement Undertaking even though this interpretation may be different from Borrower’s own, and Borrower understands and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands that the Reimbursement Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such Underlying Issuer. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Issuing Lender and the other members of the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) incurred by them as a result of the Issuing Lender’s indemnification of an Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any such loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of Credit.

(d) The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or another Loan Document,
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee maybe acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction,
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit,
(iv) any payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not substantially or strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit,
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or
(vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(e) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.
(f) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any and all issuance charges, usage charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable immediately by Borrower to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the usage charge imposed by the Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the undrawn amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such usage charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.

(g) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):
(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or
(ii) there shall be imposed on the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking,
and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Reimbursement Undertaking or Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrower; provided further, however, that if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.11(g), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.
2.12 LIBOR Option.
(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrower shall have the option, subject to Section 2.12(b) below (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written election of the Required Lenders, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate.
(b) LIBOR Election.
(i) Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders.

(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate.
(iii) Borrower shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000.
(c) Conversion. Borrower may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ Collections in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.12 (b)(ii).
(d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.
(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law (other than changes in laws relative to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except (a) changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws and (b) changes in the rate of tax on the overall income of the Lender) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)(ii)).

(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.
(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.
2.13 Capital Requirements.
(a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Revolver Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error); provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) for such reduction of rate of return on capital incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender delivers such statement. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.12(d)(i) or amounts under Section 2.13(a) or sends a notice under Section 2.12(d)(ii) relative to changed circumstances (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or would eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by

such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or to enable Borrower to obtain LIBOR Rate Loans, then Borrower (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, seek a substitute Lender reasonably acceptable to Agent to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s Revolver Commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and Revolver Commitments, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement.
3. CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.
3.1 Conditions Precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit. The obligation of each Lender to make its initial extension of credit provided for hereunder is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of Agent and each Lender, of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1 (the making of such initial extension of credit by a Lender being conclusively deemed to be its satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent ).
3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit. The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to make any Advances hereunder (or to extend any other credit hereunder) at any time shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) the representations and warranties of Parent or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date); and
(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof.
3.3 Maturity. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on August 1, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.
3.4 Effect of Maturity. On the Maturity Date, all commitments of the Lender Group to provide additional credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand and Borrower shall be required to repay all of the Obligations in full. No termination of the obligations of the Lender Group (other than payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Revolver Commitments) shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Revolver Commitments have been terminated. When all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrower’s sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Agent.

3.6 Conditions Subsequent. The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to continue to make Advances (or otherwise extend credit hereunder) is subject to the fulfillment, on or before the date applicable thereto, of the conditions subsequent set forth on Schedule 3.6 (the failure by Borrower to so perform or cause to be performed such conditions subsequent as and when required by the terms thereof, shall constitute an Event of Default).

This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

13. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.
13.1 Assignments and Participations.
(a) With the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (2) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender; provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to a proposed assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to Agent within 5 Business Days after having received written notice thereof, and with the prior written consent of Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees so long as such prospective assignee is an Eligible Transferee (each, an “Assignee”; provided, however, that no Loan Party, or Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Obligations, the Revolver Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by Agent) of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000); provided, however, that Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless waived by Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.
(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.3) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15 and Section 17.9(a).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Revolver Commitments arising therefrom. The Revolver Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Revolver Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.
(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its Revolver Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Revolver Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) decrease the amount or postpone the due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such Participant through such Lender, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrower, the Collections of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.
(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Parent and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
13.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.
14. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.
14.1 Amendments and Waivers.
(a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than Bank Product Agreements or the Fee Letter), and no consent with respect to any departure by Parent or Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and the Loan Parties that are party thereto and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby and all of the Loan Parties that are party thereto, do any of the following:

(iv) amend, modify, or eliminate this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders,
(v) amend, modify, or eliminate Section 15.11,

(ix) other than in connection with a merger, liquidation, dissolution or sale of such Person expressly permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents, release Borrower or any Guarantor from any obligation for the payment of money or consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower or any Guarantor of any of its rights or duties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,

(xii) amend, modify, or eliminate the definition of Borrowing Base or any of the defined terms (including the definition of Eligible Accounts) that are used in such definition to the extent that any such change results in more credit being made available to Borrower based upon the Borrowing Base, but not otherwise, or the definitions of Maximum Revolver Amount,
(b) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive (i) the definition of, or any of the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter, without the written consent of Agent and Borrower (and shall not require the written consent of any of the Lenders), and (ii) any provision of Section 15 pertaining to Agent, or any other rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders,
(c) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Issuing Lender, or any other rights or duties of Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Issuing Lender, Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders,
(d) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Swing Lender, or any other rights or duties of Swing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Swing Lender, Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders,
(e) Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Parent or Borrower, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Loan Party, and (ii) any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender.
14.2 Replacement of Certain Lenders.
(a) If (i) any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but not of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby, or (ii) any Lender makes a claim for compensation under Section 16, then Borrower or Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement (a “Holdout Lender”) or any Lender that made a claim for compensation (a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.

(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, being repaid in full its share of the outstanding Obligations (without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever, but including (i) all interest, fees and other amounts that may be due in payable in respect thereof, and (ii) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of participations in the Letters of Credit). If the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, Agent may, but shall not be required to, execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance in the name or and on behalf of the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and irrespective of whether Agent executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as one or more Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Revolver Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s or Tax Lender’s, as applicable, Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letters of Credit.
14.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Parent and Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.
15. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.
15.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFCF as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this Section 15. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or

refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Parent or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.
15.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
15.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Parent or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Parent or its Subsidiaries.
15.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it so elects, the Bank Product Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and Bank Product Providers).

15.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.
15.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Each Lender represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

15.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Parent or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
15.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. WFCF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though WFCF were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, WFCF or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Parent or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Parent or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include WFCF in its individual capacity.
15.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrower) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, to cause the Underlying Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swing Loans. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such claims cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the asset or assets purchased by means of such credit bid) and the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). Except as provided

(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, Borrower shall comply with the next sentence of this Section 16(a). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) one of the following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement:
(i) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments);
(ii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN;
(iii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(d) Subject to Section 16(l), if a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms. Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(e) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to the Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Participant or Assignee will, if legally permissible, provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d), if applicable. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Revolver Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in this Section 16 with respect thereto.
(f) If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 16(c) or 16(d) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
(g) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) under this Section 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(h) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 16 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
(i) WFCF, in its capacity as a Lender, hereby represents and warrants to Borrower that it is a Treaty Lender at the date of this Agreement. “Treaty Lender” means, in relation to any Lender, that the Lender: (i) is a resident of a Treaty State for the purposes of the relevant Treaty, and is entitled to the full benefit of that Treaty with respect to interest payments, (ii) is the beneficial owner of any payments made hereunder by Borrower for the purposes of the relevant Treaty, and (iii) does not carry on a business in any state other than the Treaty State through a permanent establishment with which that Lender’s receipt of any payments hereunder is effectively connected. “Treaty State” means a jurisdiction having a Treaty with the United Kingdom which makes provision for full exemption from Tax imposed by the United Kingdom on any payment of interest. “Treaty” means a double taxation convention.
(j) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, in respect of United Kingdom Taxes only, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Lender shall be able to assign the benefit of Section 16(a) (pursuant to Section 13 or otherwise) unless the Assignee represents to Borrower Agent, Agent, and the assigning Lender that it is a Treaty Lender or a Qualifying Lender at the date of that assignment. “Qualifying Lender” means a bank within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax or a company resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom Tax purposes (provided that such company or bank does not carry on any business through a permanent establishment outside of the United Kingdom with which that Lender’s receipt of any payments hereunder is effectively connected).
(k) Section 16(d) shall not apply where a Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax in the United Kingdom and that Lender wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme to apply to this Agreement and has notified the Borrower in writing of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence. Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new details (or successor details) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered details and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction claimed under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme.
(l) WFCF, in its capacity as Lender, holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, for its own benefit and without liability to any Loan Party. The HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme number for WFCF is [***] and its jurisdiction of tax residence is the United States of America. The Borrower shall accordingly file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of WFCF as Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the date of this Agreement and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing. Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new details (or successor details) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered details and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction claimed under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme.

17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
17.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Parent, Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.
17.2 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.
17.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or Parent or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
17.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
17.5 Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although Borrower is not required to do so. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

17.6 Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.
17.7 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
17.8 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted or declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrower or Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
17.9 Confidentiality.
(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group and to employees, directors and officers of any member of the Lender Group (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.9, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Borrower, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to Borrower

17.12 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and Borrower agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrower.

17.14 Judgment Currency. The specification under this Agreement of Dollars is of the essence. Each Loan Party’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Lender Group of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Lender Group under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which Agent could, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or Lenders hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in such Judgment Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day immediately following the date on which Agent or such Lenders receive any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lenders may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to Agent or such Lenders in Dollars, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lenders, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to Agent or Lenders in Dollars, Agent or Lenders, as the case may be, agree to remit to such Loan Party such excess.
17.15 Amendment and Restatement of Original Credit Agreement. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are not intended by the parties to be, and shall not constitute, a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Obligations or any other obligations owing to Agent or the Lenders under the Original Credit Agreement or any other loan document executed in connection therewith. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities and the terms and conditions thereof described in the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended and replaced in their entirety by the credit facilities and the terms and conditions described herein, and all Advances and other Obligations of Borrower outstanding as of such date under the Original Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Advances, Letters of Credit and Obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein (such that all Obligations which are outstanding on the Closing Date under the Original Credit Agreement shall become Obligations under this Agreement), without further action by any Person. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the grant of the security interests in the Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement and in any other Loan Document (unless explicitly agreed to by Agent in writing) is not intended to, nor shall it be construed, as constituting a release of any prior security interests granted by any Loan Party in favor of Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders, Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer and the Bank Product Providers in or to any Collateral or any other Property of such Loan Party, but is intended to constitute a restatement and reconfirmation of the prior security interests granted by the Loan Parties in favor of Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders, Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer and the Bank Product Providers in and to the Collateral and a grant of a new security interest in any Collateral that is not included in the prior security grants by the Loan Parties and in favor of Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders, Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer and the Bank Product Providers to the extent such grant was not included in the prior security grants.

9. Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement constituting Collateral and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses constituting Collateral in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Stock that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of Agent or any of its nominees.

10. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor;
(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of Agent;
(c) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;
(f) to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor, in each case constituting Collateral, including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and
(g) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Agent in aid of such enforcement.
To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.
11. Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.
12. Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property.
13. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, or that Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents.

14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
15. Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Agent may, at its option, and with two (2) Business Days prior written notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or the Bank Product Providers, or the value of the Pledged Interests.
16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without

notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.
(b) Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property to the extent constituting Collateral, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Agent.
(c) Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Agent.
(d) Any cash held by Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.
(e) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Agent.
17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider as provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Bank Product Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Bank Product Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent, such other member of the Lender Group or such Bank Product Provider of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

18. Marshaling. Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
19. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Agent and the other members of the Lender Group from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Loan Document to which such Grantor is a party, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.
(b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Agent (or Agent, may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Group Expenses which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, 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 AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and each Grantor to which such amendment applies.
21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Agent at its address specified in the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Credit Agreement or Guaranty, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

22. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
23. Governing Law.
(a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

AGENT AND EACH GRANTOR WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 23(b).
(c) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AGENT AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. AGENT AND EACH GRANTOR REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
24. New Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries (whether by acquisition or creation) of any Grantor are required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of Agent a Joinder to this Agreement in substantially the form of Annex 1. Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by any such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder.

WHEREAS, initially capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lender Group to make certain financial accommodations to Borrower; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement and Section 24 of the Security Agreement, certain Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, must execute and deliver certain Loan Documents, including the Security Agreement, and the joinder to the Security Agreement by the undersigned new Grantor or Grantors (collectively, the “New Grantors”) may be accomplished by the execution of this Joinder in favor of Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers; and

4. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Security Interest granted pursuant to this Trademark Security Agreement is granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, pursuant to the Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of Agent with respect to the Security Interest in the Trademark Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.

Without limiting Grantors’ obligations under this Section, Grantors hereby authorize Agent unilaterally to modify this Trademark Security Agreement by amending Schedule I to include any such new trademark rights which constitute Collateral of each Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this Trademark Security Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Agent’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I.
6. COUNTERPARTS. This Trademark Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Trademark Security Agreement.

Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Trademark Security Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Trademark Security Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Trademark Security Agreement.
7. CONSTRUCTION. This Copyright Security Agreement is a Loan Document. Unless the context of this Trademark Security Agreement clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Proceeds” includes whatever is receivable or received when Investment Related Property or proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected, or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes proceeds of any indemnity or guaranty payable to any Grantor or Agent from time to time with respect to any of the Investment Related Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing the term Collateral shall not include (i) any rights or interest in any contract, lease, permit, license, charter or license agreement covering personal property of a Grantor if under the terms of such contract lease, permit, license, charter or license agreement, or applicable law with respect thereto, the valid grant of a security interest or lien therein to Agent is prohibited as a matter of law or under the terms of such contract (including where the violation of any such prohibition would result in the termination of the applicable contract), lease, permit, license, charter or license agreement and such prohibition has not been or is not waived or the consent of the other party to such contract, lease, permit license, charter or license agreement has not been or is not otherwise obtained; provided, that, the foregoing exclusion shall in no way be construed (a) to apply if any described prohibition is unenforceable under Section 9-406, 9-407, or 9-408 of the Code or other applicable law, or (b) so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect Agent’s continuing security interests in and liens upon any rights or interests of a Grantor in or to monies due or to become due under any described contract, lease permit, license, charter or license agreement (including any Accounts), or (c) to limit, impair, or otherwise affect Agent’s continuing security interests in and liens upon any rights or interest of a Grantor in and to any proceeds from the sale, license, lease, or other dispositions of any such contract, lease, permit, license, charter, license agreement, (ii) voting Stock of any CFC, solely to the extent that (x) such Stock represents more than 65% of the outstanding voting Stock of any such CFC that is a first tier Subsidiary of Parent or other Loan Party or 0% of the outstanding voting Stock of any Subsidiary of such first tier Subsidiary of Parent or other Loan Party, and (y) pledging or hypothecating more than the foregoing amount of the total outstanding voting Stock of such CFC would result in adverse tax consequences or the costs to the Grantors of providing such pledge or perfecting the security interests created thereby are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrower) in relation to the benefits of Agent and the Lenders of the security or guarantee afforded thereby (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Agent, shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of such Subsidiary), or (iii) any United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law, provided that upon submission and acceptance by the PTO of an amendment to allege use pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1060(a) (or any successor provision), such intent-to-use trademark application shall be considered Collateral.
3. Security for Secured Obligations. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter.

Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of the Collateral shall remain personal property regardless of the manner of its attachment or affixation to real property;
(j) Transfers and Other Liens.

The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute Agent’s consent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
(k) Controlled Accounts.
(i) Each Grantor who maintains any cash balances shall (A) establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent at one or more of the banks set forth on Schedule 6(k) (each a “Controlled Account Bank”), and shall take reasonable steps to ensure that all of its and its Subsidiaries’ Account Debtors forward payment of the amounts owed by them directly to such Controlled Account Bank, and (B) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all of their Collections (including those sent directly by their Account Debtors to a Grantor) into a bank account of such Grantor (each, a “Controlled Account”) at one of the Controlled Account Banks.
(ii) Each Grantor who maintains any cash balances shall establish and maintain Controlled Account Agreements with Agent and the applicable Controlled Account Bank, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent. Each such Controlled Account Agreement shall provide, among other things, that (A) the Controlled Account Bank will comply with any instructions originated by Agent directing the disposition of the funds in such Controlled Account without further consent by the applicable Grantor, (B) the Controlled Account Bank waives, subordinates, or agrees not to exercise any rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Controlled Account other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Controlled Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (C) (1) with respect to Controlled Accounts of Borrower, commencing on the date 14 days after the Closing Date, the Controlled Account Bank will forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Controlled Account to the Agent’s Account and (2) with respect to Controlled Accounts of any non-Borrower Grantor, upon the instruction of Agent (an “Activation Instruction”), the Controlled Account Bank will forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Controlled Account to the agent’s Account.

Agent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to rescind an Activation Instruction (the “Rescission”) if: (x) the Triggering Event upon which such Activation Instruction was issued has been waived in writing in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and (y) no additional Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing prior to the date of the Rescission or is reasonably expected to occur on or immediately after the date of the Rescission.

(iii) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may amend Schedule 6(k) to add or replace a Controlled Account Bank or Controlled Account; provided, however, that (A) such prospective Controlled Account Bank shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (B) prior to the time of the opening of such Controlled Account, the applicable Grantor and such prospective Controlled Account Bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent a Controlled Account Agreement. Each Grantor shall close any of its Controlled Accounts (and establish replacement Controlled Account accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) as promptly as practicable and in any event within forty-five (45) days of notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance of the Controlled Account Bank with respect to Controlled Account Accounts or Agent’s liability under any Controlled Account Agreement with such Controlled Account Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment.
7. Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be read and construed with the other Loan Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated.
(a) Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in the Credit Agreement, such provision of the Credit Agreement shall control.

9. Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement constituting Collateral and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses constituting Collateral in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Stock that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of Agent or any of its nominees.
10. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor;
(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of Agent;
(c) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;
(f) to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor, in each case constituting Collateral, including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and
(g) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Agent in aid of such enforcement.
To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.
11. Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.

12. Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property.
13. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, or that Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents.
14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
15. Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Agent may, at its option, and with two (2) Business Days prior written notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or the Bank Product Providers, or the value of the Pledged Interests.

16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.
(b) Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property to the extent constituting Collateral, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Agent.
(c) Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Agent.
(d) Any cash held by Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

(e) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Agent.
17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider as provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Bank Product Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Bank Product Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent, such other member of the Lender Group or such Bank Product Provider of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
18. Marshaling. Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
19. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Agent and the other members of the Lender Group from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Loan Document to which such Grantor is a party, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.
(b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Agent (or Agent, may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Group Expenses which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, 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 AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and each Grantor to which such amendment applies.

All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Agent at its address specified in the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Credit Agreement or Guaranty, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.
22. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by any such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder.

EX-10.18 6 c22195exv10w18.htm EXHIBIT 10.18 Exhibit 10.18
Exhibit 10.18
SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE
This SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Second Amendment”) is dated as of November 30, 2010 (“Second Amendment Effective Date”), by and between 702/703 INVESTORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and OCLARO, INC., a Delaware corporation (successor-in-interest to New Focus, Inc.) (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to that certain Lease dated December 23, 1999, as amended or modified by Addendum No. 1 made a part thereto (“Original Lease”), by and between Silicon Valley Properties, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SVP”) and New Focus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New Focus”), SVP leased to New Focus, and New Focus leased from SVP, certain premises, consisting of approximately fifty-one thousand nine hundred eighty-five (51,985) square feet of gross leasable area, the address of which is 2580 Junction Avenue, San Jose, California (“Original Premises”) and more particularly described in the Original Lease. BRE/PCCP Orchard, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“BRE/PCCP”) succeeded to the interest of SVP Regency in and to the Premises (and the Project, as defined in the Original Lease) and as the “Landlord” under the Original Lease.
B. BRE/PCCP and New Focus entered into a First Amendment to Lease dated as of June 27, 2006 (the “First Amendment”), pursuant to which BRE/PCCP and New Focus amended the Original Lease to, among other things, extend the Lease Term thereof and amend the amount of Base Rent to be paid by New Focus to BRE/PCCP through the balance of the Lease Term, as extended. The Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment is referred to herein as the “Amended Lease”.
C. Landlord has succeeded to the interest of BRE/PCCP in and to the Premises (and the Project, as defined in the Original Lease) and as the “Landlord” under the Amended Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has succeeded to the interest of BRE/PCCP as “Landlord” under the Amended Lease.
D. Tenant has succeeded to the interest of New Focus as “Tenant” under the Amended Lease and has assumed all of New Focus’ obligations under the Amended Lease. Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has succeeded to the interest of New Focus as Tenant under the Amended Lease.
E. Commencing approximately February 1, 2011, Tenant desires to relocate its premises to a portion of another building located with the Project (as defined in the Original Lease). Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Amended Lease to set forth the terms and conditions on which Tenant will lease the New Premises (as defined in Section 2 below) and vacate and surrender the Original Premises. Landlord and Tenant also desire to amend the Amended Lease to modify the amount of Base Rent required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under the Amended Lease, as amended hereby, with respect to the Original Premises during the period of July 1, 2010 through and including the Original Premises Expiration Date (as defined in Section 8 below).
F. Capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Amended Lease unless otherwise defined in this Second Amendment.

 

 


 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto amend, modify and supplement the Amended Lease as follows:
1. Base Monthly Rent. Commencing July 1, 2010 and ending on the Original Premises Expiration Date (as defined in Section 8 below), Section K of the Summary of Basic Lease Terms incorporated in the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment, is amended to provide for the Base Monthly Rent with respect to the Original Premises only as follows:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Amended Lease, the Base Monthly Rent for the period from July 1, 2010 through and including the Original Premises Expiration Date (as defined in Section 8 below) shall be $31,191.00. Any Base Monthly Rent paid from July 1, 2010 through the date of the execution of this Second Amendment which is in excess of $31,191.00 shall be credited against payments of Base Monthly Rent next coming due under the Lease until such amounts have been fully credited.
2. Lease of New Premises.
(a) Effective as of the New Premises Commencement Date referred to in Section 4 below, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, certain premises, consisting of approximately fifty-two thousand one hundred sixty-four (52,164) square feet of gross leasable area, as more particularly shown on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (“New Premises”). The New Premises is located in that certain building, consisting of approximately eighty-three thousand one hundred seventy (83,170) square feet of gross leasable area, having a street address of 2540 and 2560 Junction Avenue, San Jose, California (the “New Building”), and identified as Building B on the site plan attached as Exhibit A to the Original Lease. The New Premises is sometimes referred to as 2560 Junction Avenue, San Jose, California. Prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, Tenant verified to its satisfaction the actual gross leasable area of the New Premises and the New Building. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to use the square footage numbers set forth in this Second Amendment for the New Premises and the New Building as the basis for calculating New Premises Base Rent (as described in Section 5 below) and the Tenant’s Share (as described in Section 6 below) with respect to Tenant’s lease of the New Premises. The New Premises Base Rent and Additional Rent payable under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, with respect to Tenant’s lease of the New Premises shall not be subject to revision in the event the actual gross leasable area of the New Premises or the New Building as of the New Premises Commencement Date is more or less that the numbers used as the basis for calculation of New Premises Base Rent or Tenant’s Share, except as expressly provided in Section 6 below, and in no event shall Landlord be subject to liability as the result thereof. Except as expressly provided in this Second Amendment or to the extent in conflict with or inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment, the lease of the New Premises shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in the Original Lease.

(b) Early Entry. Immediately following the full execution of this Second Amendment, Tenant and its approved vendors and/or contractors shall have the right to enter the New Premises (i) to move Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, equipment and inventory in the New Premises, and (ii) to install Tenant’s telephone and telecommunication wiring and cabling in the New Premises (and perform the New Premises TIs, subject to Tenant’s compliance with the terms of the Section 3(i)8.(i) below and the last sentence of Section 3(i)1. below), provided that such entry or performance of work shall not delay the completion of any work required to be performed by Landlord to place the New Premises in the condition required by the first sentence of Section 3(a) below. Any entry into the New Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, vendors and/or contractors prior to the New Premises Commencement Date shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord, its agents, contractors, subcontractors and employees, from any and all liability, cost, damage, lien, action, cause of action, judgment, expense, and claim for injury (including bodily injury, death, or property damage) incurred or suffered by Tenant in or about the New Premises during the performance of any work in the New Premises by Landlord or its contractors or subcontractors prior to the New Premises Commencement Date in order to place the New Premises in the condition required by the first sentence of Section 3(a) below (except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). If Tenant or any of its agents, employees, vendors or contractors enter the New Premises prior to the New Premises Commencement Date as provided above, then such entry shall be upon all the terms and conditions of the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment (including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligations regarding indemnity and insurance), except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay New Premises Base Rent prior to the New Premises Commencement Date and shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses with respect to the New Premises only prior to the New Premises Commencement Date. If Tenant or any of its agents, employees, vendors or contractors intend to enter the New Premises prior to the New Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide (and cause its vendors and contractors to provide) Landlord with insurance certificates evidencing that required insurance is being maintained. The preceding to the contrary notwithstanding, if any work or other activities in the New Premises by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, vendors, contractors or other representatives prior to the New Commencement Date would delay the completion of the work to be performed by Landlord in order to place the New Premises in the condition required by the terms of the first sentence of Section 3(a) below, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, cease, or cause to be ceased, such work or activities, as the case may be, until such time that Tenant may resume its work or activities without so interfering with Landlord’s or its contractors’ or subcontractors’ completion of the work required to be performed by Landlord to place the New Premises in the condition required by the terms of the first sentence of Section 3(a) below.
3. Condition of New Premises.
(a) Within ten (10) days following the full execution of this Second Amendment (the “Target Delivery Date”), Landlord shall deliver the possession of New Premises to Tenant in its “as is, where is” condition, and with all faults, except that Landlord shall cause all building systems serving the New Premises, including, without limitation, the plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems serving the New Premises, to be in good working order and condition as of the date possession of the New Premises is delivered to Tenant. Except with respect to latent defects, by taking possession of the New Premises on the date the

 

3


 

New Premises is actually delivered to Tenant (the “Actual Delivery Date”), Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the New Premises as being in the condition required by the terms of the immediately preceding sentence and to have accepted the New Premises in its condition existing as of the date Tenant takes possession of the New Premises, subject to all applicable laws, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of public record and the rules and regulations from time to time promulgated by Landlord governing the use of the New Premises. Tenant acknowledges that (a) it has conducted, or had the opportunity to conduct, all investigations, tests and studies concerning the New Premises that Tenant deems appropriate and material to its decision to lease the New Premises, and (b) that it accepts the New Premises in its “as is, where is” condition as of the date Tenant takes possession of the New Premises (subject to latent defects (if any), Landlord satisfying its obligations under the first sentence of this Section 3(a) above and Landlord’s representations contained in this Section 3(a)). Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors, brokers or other representatives has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the New Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, the condition of the New Premises (except as otherwise provided in the first sentence of this Section 3(a) or elsewhere in this Section 3), or the use or occupancy which may be made thereof and Tenant has independently investigated and is satisfied that the New Premises is suitable for Tenant’s intended use and that the New Premises meets all governmental requirements for such intended use. Tenant does hereby waive and disclaim any objection to, cause of action based upon, or claim that its obligations hereunder should be reduced or limited because of the size or condition of the New Premises or the New Building or the suitability of same for Tenant’s purposes, subject to latent defects (if any), Landlord’s express obligations set forth in the first sentence of this Section and Landlord’s representations contained in this Section 3. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to construct or install any tenant improvements in the New Premises (but Landlord shall be required to undertake such work, if any, as may be required to deliver the New Premises to Tenant in the condition required by the terms of the first sentence of this Section 3(a)) or to provide Tenant with any tenant improvement allowance with respect to the New Premises except as otherwise provided in Section 3(i) below. In connection with Tenant’s lease of the New Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work described in Paragraph 2.2 of the Original Lease or in the Work Letter for Tenant Improvements attached as Exhibit B to the Original Lease, as such Paragraph 2.2 and Exhibit B to the Original Lease shall not apply to Tenant’s lease of the New Premises.
(b) Landlord warrants that, as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the New Premises to Tenant, the New Premises shall be in broom clean and all building systems serving the New Premises shall be in good working order and condition, and the New Premises shall, at Landlord’s sole cost, be separately demised and separately metered for electricity (but not water) (the “Delivery Condition”). If any non-compliance with such warranty set forth in the immediately preceding sentence exists as of the date possession of the New Premises is delivered to Tenant, then Landlord shall, as Tenant’s sole remedy for such non-compliance, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth the nature of such non-compliance, cure or remedy the same at Landlord’s sole cost; provided, however, if Tenant does not give Landlord written notice of such non-compliance with such warranty on or before the date thirty (30) days following the execution of this Second Amendment by Landlord and Tenant, then such warranty shall be deemed to have expired and shall be of no further force or effect.

(c) Landlord further warrants to Tenant that, as of the date of execution of this First Amendment, Landlord has not received any written notice from any governmental entity or agency of any uncured violation of any laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations with respect to the New Premises. If Landlord is in breach or default of the warranty set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord shall, as Tenant’s sole remedy for such breach or default, except as otherwise provide in Section 3(f) below, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth the nature of such breach or default, cure or remedy the same at Landlord’s sole cost.
(d) Furthermore, throughout the New Premises Lease Term, Landlord shall, subject to the terms of Paragraph 6.3 of the Original Lease and unless otherwise required by any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, continue to maintain the aesthetic elements of the Project (or such applicable portion of the Project owned by Landlord), such as fountains located thereon, in substantially the same condition as exists as of the Effective Date hereof, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted.
(e) Tenant’s and its agents’, employees’, vendors’, contractors’ and subcontractors’ use and/or occupancy of the Premises prior to the New Premises Commencement Date shall be upon all the terms and conditions of the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment (including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligations regarding indemnity and insurance), except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay New Premises Base Rent prior to the New Premises Commencement Date and shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses with respect to the New Premises prior to the New Premises Commencement Date.

issue any permit or governmental approval to Tenant in connection with the construction of the New Premises TIs or any other alterations, additions or improvements to be undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant in the New Premises until such violation is cured or remedied or code compliance work undertaken with respect thereto, then Tenant agrees to perform, or cause to be performed, such work required to cure such violation(s) or compliance work or to allow Tenant to obtain such applicable permit or governmental approval or occupancy of the New Premises as provided above within the time period(s) required by such governmental authority or agency and in a good and workmanlike and lien-free manner and such work shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Lease, as amended hereby (including, without limitation, Paragraphs 5.2, 5.3 and 5.5 of the Original Lease). The costs incurred by Tenant in performing, or causing to be performed, the work described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be borne as follows: (X) Tenant shall bear the first Eighty-one Thousand Dollars ($81,000) of such costs (“Tenant’s Maximum Contribution”); provided, however, (i) Tenant shall be responsible for 100% of such costs if the improvements, alterations, additions or changes are required due to Tenant’s use of the New Premises not permitted or in a manner not permitted under the Amended Lease, as modified by this Second Amendment, or due to any breach of the Amended Lease, as amended hereby, by Tenant, and (ii) if it is determined that Landlord breached its warranty set forth in Section 3(c) above, then the provisions of the second sentence of Section 3(c) above shall apply except that Landlord shall be responsible for reimbursing Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable costs incurred in remedying or curing Landlord’s breach of such warranty; (Y) except as otherwise provided in clause (i) and (ii) immediately above, to the extent that the costs reasonably incurred by Tenant in performing, or causing to be performed, the work described in the immediately preceding sentence exceed Tenant’s Maximum Contribution, Landlord shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of such excess costs (“Landlord’s Share of Costs”). Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Share of Costs within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord reasonably detailed invoices relating to such costs. If Landlord breaches its obligation to pay Landlord’s Share of Costs when required, Tenant shall have the right to set off such delinquent amount of Landlord’s Share of Costs not paid by Landlord against future payments of New Premises Base Rent and Additional Rent until Tenant is reimbursed such delinquent amount in full. Any alterations, additions or changes to the New Premises made pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be made only by, or at the direction of, Tenant and subject to the terms of this Section 3(f).

Amendment is fully executed and ending on the expiration of the Compliance Period, no applicable governmental authority or agency requires that such violation be cured or remedied or code compliance work undertaken with respect thereto, then Tenant may, but shall not be obligated hereunder to, during the Compliance Period, perform, or cause to be performed, such work required to cure such violation(s) or compliance work in a good and workmanlike and lien-free manner and such work shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Lease, as amended hereby (including, without limitation, Paragraphs 5.2, 5.3 and 5.5 of the Original Lease). If Tenant elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to perform, or cause to be performed, during the Compliance Period, any of the work required to cure such violation(s) or code compliance work referred to in the immediately sentence, then the costs reasonably incurred by Tenant in performing, or causing to be performed, such work during the Compliance Period only, shall be borne by Tenant and Landlord in accordance with the cost allocation arrangement described in Section 3(f) above (and the last four sentences of Section 3(f) above shall apply with respect to such cost allocation arrangement, except that, for purposes of this sentence, any references to Section 3(f) in the last sentence of Section 3(f) shall instead be deemed references to this Section 3(g)).
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any alterations or other improvements are required to the New Premises by any applicable Law commencing on or after the date that is six (6) months after the New Premises Commencement Date, such costs shall be Tenant’s responsibility as set forth in Section 5.3 of the Original Lease (or, to the extent Section 5.4 of the Original Lease applies, then Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 of the Original Lease, the amortized cost of such alterations or improvements required to be constructed to comply with any Law).
(i) New Premises Allowance.
1. Landlord shall grant to Tenant an allowance (“New Premises Allowance”) in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Sixty Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty and 00/100 Dollars ($260,820.00) (which equates to $5.00 per square foot of leasable area of the New Premises) to be used by Tenant, if at all, to pay for the Work Cost (as defined below) incurred by Tenant in constructing or installing general purpose interior leasehold improvements (approved by Landlord and Tenant) in the New Premises (the “New Premises TIs”). For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the term “general purpose interior leasehold improvements shall mean and refer to interior improvements which may be of permanent improvement to the New Premises (e.g., permanent partitions; window, wall and floor coverings; lighting and utility fixtures) and shall not mean and include special purpose improvements needed by Tenant for the conduct of its business or which might not be a permanent improvement to the New Premises (e.g., demountable partitions, special security requirements; or trade fixtures, furniture or furnishings of Tenant). Any and all work performed by Tenant in connection with the New Premises TIs shall be treated as Tenant’s Alterations to the New Premises pursuant to Section Paragraph 5.2 of the Original Lease and shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent and otherwise performed in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Amended Lease, as amended hereby (including, without limitation, Paragraphs 5.2, 5.3 and 5.5 of the Original Lease).

2. If Landlord disburses all or any portion of the New Premises Allowance to Tenant, then (i) such portion of the New Premises Allowance as is disbursed by Landlord to Tenant, together with interest thereon at the annual rate of eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, shall be amortized over the then balance of the New Premises Lease Term and the monthly New Premises Base Rent to be paid by Tenant under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, following the disbursement of such applicable portion of the New Premises Allowance shall be increased by such monthly amortized amount, and (ii) Landlord and Tenant each shall execute an amendment(s) to the Amended Lease, as amended hereby, within ten (10) business days following the date the same is presented to Tenant for execution by Landlord, reflecting the increased New Premises Base Rent resulting from such amortization. Such amendment(s) to the Amended Lease, as amended hereby shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
3. If any portion of the New Premises Allowance remains undisbursed after December 31, 2011, then Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant for any undisbursed amounts of the New Premises Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any further disbursement of any remaining, undisbursed portion of the New Premises Allowance and Tenant shall not be entitled to any reduction in the amount of the New Premises Base Rent or Additional Rent payable by Tenant under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment; provided that if the reason any amounts remain undisbursed is due to Landlord’s failure to disburse when required, Landlord shall remain obligated to disburse such amounts.
4. Landlord shall not be obligated to make any disbursements of the New Premises Allowance to or for the benefit of Tenant unless at the time of each request for disbursement, all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such request shall be made not earlier than the New Premises Commencement Date or later than the date that is ten (10) months following the New Premises Commencement Date, and Tenant shall have waived its right to terminate this Second Amendment as provided in Section 4 below (and if Tenant timely exercises its right to terminate this Second Amendment pursuant to Section 4 below, then Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse any portion of the New Premises Allowance to Tenant), (ii) there shall exist no condition, event or act which would constitute an event of default under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, (iii) the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, shall be in full force and effect, and (iv) Tenant shall have furnished to Landlord receipts, bills and releases of lien rights (as provided below) covering work done and/or materials furnished in connection with the construction of the New Premises TIs.
5. “Work Cost” means: (i) all design, architectural and engineering fees and consultant fees incurred by Tenant and Landlord in connection with the preparation, review and approval of the architectural plans and specifications related to the New Premises TIs; (ii) governmental agency plan check, permit and other fees; (iii) sales and other taxes; (iv) Title 24 fees; (v) inspection costs; and (vi) the actual costs and charges for material and labor and general contractor’s profit and general overhead incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction of the New Premises TIs.

6. Prior to the commencement of construction or installation of the New Premises TIs, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an estimate of the total costs of designing and constructing the New Premises TIs and a schedule of values and line item breakdown of such costs. Tenant may request disbursements from the New Premises Allowance not more frequently than once each month after the commencement of construction of the New Premises TIs but Tenant shall not request any such disbursements after the tenth (10th) month of the New Premises Lease Term or prior to the New Premises Commencement Date. Each request for disbursement with respect to the design or construction of the New Premises TIs shall be accompanied by: (i) a written request for disbursement itemizing each category of cost for work in place for which payment is requested, in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (ii) conditional lien releases, in a form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, from all persons and entities providing work or materials covered by such request; (iii) unconditional lien releases from all persons or entities providing work or materials who were paid out of the prior disbursement; and (iv) invoices, vouchers, statements, affidavits and/or other documents in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord which substantiate and justify the disbursement requested. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of each fully completed disbursement request with respect to the design or construction of the New Premises TIs, Landlord shall pay ninety percent (90%) of the portion of the New Premises Allowance sought to be disbursed (or one hundred percent (100%) of that amount if the Tenant has requested only ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work completed) directly to the Tenant, or, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to the general contractor and the subcontractors, laborers, or suppliers entitled thereto; provided, however, Landlord reserves the right to reasonably disapprove some or all of the matters disclosed by such disbursement request and to withhold the amounts relating to the disapproved matters from the disbursement if Tenant has not otherwise complied with the requirements set forth in this Section 3(i). The ten percent (10%) remaining after any of the above disbursements shall be paid by Landlord within thirty-five (35) days after all of the following have occurred: (i) Tenant has submitted a final request for disbursement in accordance with the procedure set forth in this paragraph above, (ii) a notice of completion has been duly recorded with respect to the New Premises TIs, and (iii) no lien claim shall have been recorded within the thirty (30) day period following such recordation (or if there be a lien claim, such lien shall have been removed). Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse any amounts from the New Premises Allowance after the date twelve (12) months following the New Premises Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Landlord breaches its obligation to pay to Tenant any portion of the New Premises Allowance as set forth in this Second Amendment, and such breach continues for a period of more than thirty (30) days following the date Landlord receives written notice of such breach from Tenant, then Tenant shall be permitted to offset any such portion of the New Premises Allowance with respect to which Landlord has breached its obligation to fund against the New Premises Base Rent next coming due until such overdue amounts to which Landlord’s breach applies have been completely offset.
7. Upon completion of the New Premises TIs, Tenant shall: (a) obtain and deliver to Landlord a certificate of occupancy for the New Premises TIs work from the governmental agency having jurisdiction thereof, if applicable; (b) make available to Landlord receipted invoices (or invoices with canceled checks attached) from Tenant’s contractor showing evidence of full payment for such portion of the New Premises TIs work as is shown on such invoices; (c) deliver to Landlord a full set of reproducible as-built drawings for the New Premises TIs work to the extent applicable, including, without limitation, architectural drawings, structural drawings, mechanical drawings, including plumbing, fire sprinkler, electrical and life safety; (d) obtain and deliver to Landlord the building permit or permits for the New Premises TIs work with final sign-off by the City of San Jose; and (e) deliver to Landlord copies of all written construction and equipment warranties related to the portions of the New Premises TIs work involving building systems or those portions of the New Premises Landlord is required to maintain or repair under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment. Tenant shall make such receipted invoices (or invoices with canceled checks attached) from Tenant’s general contractor available to Landlord for a period of one (1) year following completion of the New Premises TIs work.

8. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any of the New Premises TIs constructed or installed in the New Premises by Tenant pursuant to the terms above.
(j) Tenant shall, at its sole expense, be responsible for the securing of insurance by Tenant’s general contractor and for the maintenance of same by Tenant’s general contractor until completion and final acceptance of the New Premises TIs. Certificates of insurance affording evidence of same shall be obtained from Tenant’s general contractor by the Tenant and delivered to the Landlord prior to the commencement of any work with respect to the New Premises TIs by Tenant’s general contractor or subcontractors. The required insurance coverage is as follows:
1. Worker’s Compensation and Employers’ Liability Insurance affording 30 days written notice of cancellation to the general contractor. The Employers’ Liability minimum limits required are as follows:
         
 
  Bodily Injury by accident   $1,000,000 each accident
 
  Bodily Injury by disease   $1,000,000 policy limit
 
  Bodily Injury by disease   $1,000,000 each employee
2. Commercial General Liability Insurance on an occurrence basis for an amount of $2,000,000 each occurrence and including the following coverage:
(a) Premises and Operations coverage.
(b) Owners and Contractors Protective coverage.
(c) Products and Completed Operations coverage.
(d) Blanket Contractual coverage, including both oral and written contracts.
(e) Personal Injury coverage.
(f) Broad Form Property Damage coverage, including completed operations.
(g) An endorsement naming Landlord as additional insured.
(h) An endorsement affording 30 days written notice to Landlord in event of cancellation or material reduction in coverage.

 

10


 

(i) An endorsement providing that such insurance as is afforded under the policy of Tenant’s general contractor is primary insurance as respects Landlord and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder.
No endorsement limiting or excluding a required coverage is permitted. CLAIMS-MADE COVERAGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
3. Business Auto Liability Insurance for an amount of $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and/or property damage liability including:
(a) Owned Autos,
(b) Hired or Borrowed Autos,
(c) Nonowned Autos, and
(d) An endorsement affording 30 days written notice of cancellation to Landlord in event of cancellation or material reduction in coverage.
A certificate and endorsements affording evidence of the above requirements must be delivered to Landlord before Tenant’s general contractor or any subcontractors performs any work at or prepares or delivers materials to the New Premises with respect to any New Premises TIs. No such work shall commence in or at the New Premises prior to the date Landlord delivers possession of the New Premises to Tenant.
Tenant shall require its general contractor to require its subcontractors to provide insurance where Tenant’s general contractor would be required to carry insurance under this insurance section and to be responsible for obtaining the appropriate certificates or other evidence of insurance.
Tenant’s general contractor shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the New Premises TIs are fully completed and accepted except as to subsection 2(c) of this Section 3(i) (Products and Completed Operation Coverage), which is to be maintained for one (1) year following completion of the work and acceptance by Landlord and Tenant.
All insurance, except Workers’ Compensation, maintained by Tenant’s general contractor and its subcontractors shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder, including, without limitation, Landlord.
The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification of Landlord by Tenant under the “indemnity” provisions of Paragraph 10.3 of the Original Lease.
If the Tenant fails to secure and maintain the required insurance from Tenant’s general contractor, the Landlord shall have the right (without any obligation to do so, however), after providing Tenant notice and five (5) days to cure, to secure the same in the name and for the account of the Tenant’s general contractor in which event Tenant shall pay the cost thereof and shall furnish upon demand, all information that may be required in connection therewith. Further, such failure to secure and maintain the required insurance shall, after the expiration of the applicable notice and cure periods, constitute a default by Tenant under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, and Landlord shall be entitled to immediately have all work related to the New Premises TIs cease.

4. New Premises Lease Term. The Lease Term with respect to the New Premises (“New Premises Lease Term”) shall commence on the earlier of (i) February 1, 2011 or (ii) the date Tenant commences operation of its business in any portion of the New Premises (such earlier date being the “New Premises Commencement Date”) and shall expire, unless earlier terminated, at midnight on the fifth anniversary of the New Premises Commencement Date (the “New Premises Expiration Date”). If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the New Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Delivery Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so, and such failure shall not affect the validity of the Lease, nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder, but in such event the date of February 1, 2011 referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4 shall be extended by the number of days of delay in so delivering possession of the New Premises to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord has not delivered possession of the New Premises to Tenant through no fault of Tenant or any of its agents, employees or contractors, by December 30, 2010 (the “New Premises Delivery Deadline”), then Tenant may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Second Amendment (but not the Original Lease, as amended the First Amendment and Section 1 of this Second Amendment) as of the New Premises Delivery Deadline. Tenant may exercise the foregoing termination right by giving Landlord written notice within ten (10) days after the New Premises Delivery Deadline; provided, however, if Landlord gives Tenant written notice that the New Premises are ready for delivery to Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, Tenant’s notice shall be deemed ineffective and this Second Amendment shall continue in full force and effect. Tenant’s failure to give Landlord written notice of its intent to terminate this Second Amendment within ten (10) days after the New Premises Delivery Deadline shall be deemed Tenant’s waiver of the termination right set forth in this Section 4 above. If Tenant timely exercises its right to terminate this Second Amendment pursuant to the terms of this Section 4 above, then all rights and obligations of the parties under this Second Amendment shall cease except that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 1 above), (i) the Amended Lease shall remain in full force and effect (without regard to this Second Amendment) as to the Original Premises, (ii) Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove any special purpose improvements (as opposed to general purpose office improvements) installed in the New Premises by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors and restore any damage caused by such removal and (iii) the Base Monthly Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the Original Premises for the period of July 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 shall be $31,191.00 per month (and any Base Monthly Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord for such period which is in excess of $31,191.00 shall be credited against payments of Base Monthly Rent next coming due under the Amended Lease until such amounts have been fully credited, or disbursed to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of the Lease Term if any credit remains at such time.
After the New Premises Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an acceptance agreement in the form of Exhibit B attached to this Second Amendment, appropriately completed. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent with respect to Tenant’s lease of the New Premises in accordance with the terms of the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, shall not be excused or delayed because of Tenant’s failure to execute such acceptance agreement.

 

12


 

5. Base Monthly Rent. Subject to this Section 5 below, commencing on the New Premises Commencement Date, and continuing throughout the initial New Premises Lease Term, Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent for the New Premises in the following amounts and in accordance with the following schedule (“New Premises Base Rent”):
         
Lease Months During       Base Monthly
New Premises Lease   Base Monthly   Rental Rate Per
Term   Rent   Rentable Square Foot
 
01-03
  $0.00*   $0.00/RSF*
04-12
  $22,191.00* and **   $0.60/RSF* and **
13-24
  $33,906.60   $0.65/RSF
25-36
  $36,514.80   $0.70/RSF
37-48
  $39,123.00   $0.75/RSF
49-60
  $41,731.20   $0.80/RSF
     
*  
The New Premises Base Rent actually payable during the first twelve (12) months of the New Premises Lease Term is $31,298.40 per month; provided, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Tenant’s Default has occurred and is continuing under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Monthly Rent with respect to the New Premises only in the amount of $31,298.40 per month for the first three (3) months of the New Premises Lease Term and abatement of $9,107.40 per month for the fourth (4th) through the twelfth (12th) months of the New Premises Lease Term. The maximum total amount of Base Monthly Rent abated with respect to the New Premises in accordance with the foregoing shall equal to $175,861.80 (the “Abated New Premises Base Rent”). If Tenant defaults under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, and such default results in a termination of the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, then all unamortized Abated New Premises Base Rent (i.e. based upon the amortization of the aggregate of the Abated New Premises Base Rent in equal monthly amounts, without interest, during the period commencing on the New Premises Commencement Date and ending on the expiration date of the New Premises Lease Term) shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant without notice or demand and Landlord shall be entitled to include such unamortized Abated New Premises Base Rent in the amount of rentals that it is entitled to recover from Tenant under Paragraph 13.2.D. of the Original Lease and under California Civil Code Section 1951.2 following the uncured default by Tenant. During the conditional free rent or partially free rent periods referred to above, and thereafter during the balance of the New Premises Lease Term, all Additional Rent, including, without limitation, Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses, shall be due and payable with respect to the New Premises. Notwithstanding the phasing of Base Monthly Rent as provided in the schedule above, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses with respect to the entire New Premises (i.e. the entire approximately 52,164 square feet of gross leasable area of the New Premises) throughout the New Premises Lease Term, as the same may be extended, commencing as of the New Premises Commencement Date, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment.
     
**  
In consideration for Landlord not having to pay any commission or finder’s fee to any broker or agent of Tenant in connection with this Second Amendment and/or Tenant’s lease of the New Premises (as referred to in Section 12 below), Landlord agrees to credit the sum of Sixty-Two Thousand Nine Hundred Nine and 78/100 Dollars ($62,909.78) against the Base Monthly Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord for the fourth and fifth months and a portion of the sixth month (i.e. $18,527.78 of the $62,909.78 shall be credited against the sixth months’ Base Rent) of the New Premises Lease Term.

 

13


 

The Base Monthly Rent schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 of the First Amendment (which amended Section K of the Summary comprising part of the Original Lease) shall not apply to the New Premises.
6. Common Operating Expenses. During the New Premises Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Lease, as amended hereby, relating to payment of Common Operating Expenses, except that Tenant’s Share with respect to Tenant’s lease of the New Premises shall be sixty-two and seventy-two one hundredths percent (62.72%) as to the New Building and twenty and twenty-four one hundredths percent (20.24%) as to the Project.
7. Parking. From and after the New Premises Commencement Date, the number of unreserved parking spaces which Tenant is entitled, but not obligated, to use under the Original Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, shall be one hundred ninety-three (193). Tenant’s use of such parking spaces shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, and the rules and regulations in effect for the Project from time to time.
8. Holdover, Vacation and Surrender of Original Premises. With respect to the Original Premises only, the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, shall expire, unless earlier terminated, on the earlier of (i) the date thirty (30) days following the New Premises Commencement Date, or (ii) the date Tenant vacates and surrenders possession of the Original Premises to Landlord in the condition existing as of the date this Second Amendment is fully executed, ordinary wear and tear excepted (and Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any Tenant Improvements or Tenant’s Alterations existing in the Original Premises as of the date of execution of this Second Amendment by Tenant). The earlier of the dates referred to in clause (i) and (ii) is referred to herein as the “Original Premises Expiration Date”. The Original Premises Expiration Date shall be extended one day for each day the completion of Tenant’s New Premises TIs are delayed due to the acts or omissions of Landlord or Landlord’s agents; provided, however, in no event shall the commencement of any such extension be earlier than two (2) business days following the date Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that the acts or omissions of Landlord or Landlord agents have delayed the completion of the Tenant’s New Premises TIs. Tenant shall surrender possession of the Original Premises to Landlord on or before the Original Premises Expiration Date in the condition existing as of the date this Second Amendment is fully executed, ordinary wear and tear excepted

 

14


 

(and Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any Tenant Improvements or Tenant’s Alterations existing in the Original Premises as of the date of execution of this Second Amendment by Tenant); however, Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Section Amendment, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the Original Premises, shall continue in effect through the Original Premises Expiration Date. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, with respect to the Original Premises only, neither party shall have any further obligations under the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, with respect to the Original Premises, except for those obligations under the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, which survive the termination or expiration of the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, and any obligations arising from a breach or default by Landlord or Tenant arising or accruing prior to such expiration or earlier termination of the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment. Provided, however, if Tenant has not fully vacated and surrendered to Landlord the Original Premises (in the condition existing as of the date this Second Amendment is fully executed, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any Tenant Improvements or Tenant’s Alterations existing in the Original Premises as of the date of execution of this Second Amendment by Tenant) by the expiration or earlier termination of the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, such continued possession shall be deemed to be without Landlord’s consent, and Landlord shall be entitled to immediately pursue all rights and remedies available to it by law or under the Amended Lease, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a landlord based upon the unlawful detainer of premises by a tenant as described in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161(1), as amended or replaced. In addition to all other legal and equitable rights and remedies that Landlord may have against Tenant under the Amended Lease or applicable law in connection with Tenant’s continued possession of the Original Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment (including, without limitation, Landlord’s right to recover damages arising in connection therewith), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum for which Landlord may be responsible to a new tenant for delay in delivery of the Original Premises under the terms of any new lease as a result of Tenant’s continued possession for those additional days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, that Tenant fails to vacate and surrender the Original Premises to Landlord as provided above. In addition, in the event Landlord has entered into a new lease for the Original Premises, and the tenant thereunder terminates such new lease by reason of Landlord’s inability to timely deliver possession of the Original Premises to the tenant, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of such termination, including loss of future rents payable under such new lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to vacate and surrender possession of the Original Premises to Landlord (in the condition existing as of the date this Second Amendment is fully executed, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any Tenant Improvements or Tenant’s Alterations existing in the Original Premises as of the date of execution of this Second Amendment by Tenant) by the expiration or earlier termination of the Amended Lease, as amended by Section 1 of this Second Amendment, Tenant’s liability for any consequential damages (including, without limitation, Landlord’s loss of future rents payable under a new lease as provided in the immediately preceding sentence)

14. Corporate Authority. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) Tenant is the sole holder of the leasehold estate created under the Amended Lease, (ii) Tenant has not voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise assigned the Amended Lease or any interest of Tenant under the Amended Lease, subleased any portion of the Original Premises or otherwise transferred or hypothecated any interest of Tenant in and to the Amended Lease or the Original Premises, and (iii) all authorizations necessary for the execution of this Second Amendment by Tenant and to bind Tenant hereto have been obtained.

Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that all authorizations necessary for the execution of this Second Amendment by Landlord and to bind Landlord hereto have been obtained.
15. Effect of Second Amendment. Except as modified herein, the terms and provisions of the Amended Lease shall remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Second Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Amended Lease, the terms and provisions of this Second Amendment shall prevail. Tenant hereby ratifies and approves the terms and conditions of the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, and assumes all of the obligations of the Tenant under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment.

The parties contemplate that they may be executing counterparts of this Second Amendment transmitted by facsimile or email in PDF format and agree and intend that a signature by either facsimile machine or email in PDF format shall bind the party so signing with the same effect as though the signature were an original signature.
18. Governing Law. This Second Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
19. Option to Extend Lease Term. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the New Premises Lease Term for one (1) period of two (2) consecutive years (the “Extended Term”), on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of its exercise of the option to extend the New Premises Lease Term for the Extended Term no earlier than twelve (12) months or later than six (6) months before the date the New Premises Lease Term would end but for said exercise. Time is of the essence.

 

19


 

(b) Tenant may not extend the New Premises Lease Term pursuant to this Section 19 if there is an Event of Tenant’s Default under the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, exists at the time of Tenant’s notice of exercise of this option, or if Tenant shall have assigned or otherwise transferred its interest in Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, and/or the New Premises, or any portion thereof, to any person or entity (other than an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant), whether or not Landlord’s consent to such assignment or transfer has been given (unless Landlord has waived such restriction in any written consent to such assignment or subletting, which waiver may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion). If an Event of Tenant’s Default exists on the date that the Extended Term is to commence, then Landlord may elect to terminate the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, effective as of the New Premises Expiration Date notwithstanding any notice given by Tenant of an exercise of its option to extend.
(c) Once Tenant delivers notice of its exercise of the option to extend the New Premises Lease Term, Tenant may not withdraw such exercise and, subject to the provisions of this Section 19, such notice shall operate to extend the New Premises Lease Term. All terms and conditions of this Original Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, shall apply during the Extended Term, except that (i) the monthly New Premises Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined in accordance with Section 19(e) below, (ii) there shall be no further rights to extend the New Premises Lease Term and (iii) and Landlord shall have no obligation to construct any improvements on, in or around the New Premises or in the New Building or to provide any tenant improvement allowance or refurbishment allowance to Tenant.
(d) Upon the extension of the New Premises Lease Term pursuant to this Section 19, the term “New Premises Lease Term” or “Lease Term” or “Term” as used in this Second Amendment or the Original Lease shall thereafter include the Extended Term with respect to the New Premises and the expiration date of the Original Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, with respect to the New Premises shall be the expiration date of the Extended Term.
(e) If Tenant elects to extend the New Premises Lease Term pursuant to the terms of Section 19(a) above, the New Premises Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the monthly fair market rental value of the New Premises in relation to market conditions at the time of the extension (including, but not limited to, rental rates for comparable space within the San Jose submarket with comparable tenant improvements and taking into consideration any adjustments to rent based upon direct costs (operating expenses) and taxes, load factors, or other rental adjustments; the size of the space; and any other factors which affect market rental values at the time of extension), provided, that the monthly New Premises Base Rent for the Extended Term shall in no event be lower than the New Premises Base Rent payable during the month immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term (without regard to any abatement of New Premises Base Rent occurring during the month immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term). The New Premises Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined as follows:
1. Mutual Agreement. After timely receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice of exercise of the option to extend the New Premises Lease Term, Landlord and Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which to agree on the New Premises Base Rent for the Extended Term. If Landlord and Tenant agree on said New Premises Base Rent during that period, they shall immediately execute an amendment to the Amended Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, stating the New Premises Base Rent for the Extended Term. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the New Premises Base Rent for the Extended Term as aforesaid, the provisions of Section 19(e)2 immediately below shall apply.

 

20


 

2. Appraisal. Within ten (10) business days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period described in Section 19(e)1 above, each party, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a licensed, commercial real estate broker with at least five (5) years commercial brokerage experience as applicable, in Santa Clara County, to determine the fair market rental value of the New Premises. If a party does not appoint such a broker within ten (10) business days after the other party has given notice of the name of its broker, the single broker appointed shall be the sole broker and shall set the fair market rental value. The cost of such sole broker shall be borne equally by the parties. If two brokers are appointed by the parties as provided in this Section 13(e)2, the two brokers shall each separately determine the fair market rental value of the New Premises within twenty (20) days of the date the last of such two brokers is selected. In addition, during such twenty (20) day period, the two brokers shall select a third broker meeting the qualifications above who will be required to determine which of the fair market rental valuations determined by the two original brokers is closer to the fair market rental value of the New Premises as determined by the third broker. If the parties cannot agree on the third broker within such twenty (20) day period, then either of the parties to this Second Amendment, by giving ten (10) days notice to the other party, may apply to either the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the County of Santa Clara for the selection of a third broker who meets the qualifications stated above. The two original brokers shall submit their respective valuations to the third broker in a sealed envelope within ten days following the date the third broker is selected. Once the third broker has been selected as provided above, then, as soon as practicable but in any case within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the third broker shall select one of the two fair market rental valuations submitted by the two original brokers selected by the parties, which valuation shall be the one that is closer to the fair market rental value as determined by the third broker; provided, however, in no event shall 95% of the fair market rental value of the New Premises be less than the New Premises Base Rent for the month immediately preceding the commencement of the Extended Term (without regard to any abatement of rent occurring with respect to such New Premises Base Rent occurring during the month immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term). The third broker’s selection shall be rendered in writing to both Landlord and Tenant and shall be final and binding upon them and shall not be subject to appeal. Each party shall pay the cost of its own broker and shall share equally the cost of the third broker. In establishing the fair market rental value of the New Premises, the broker or brokers shall take into consideration the factors described in Section 19(e) above.
20. Non-Disturbance Agreements. Simultaneously with the execution of this Second Amendment, Landlord shall obtain for Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, in a commercially reasonable form, from all mortgagees and ground lessors, if any, holding a security interest or ground lessor’s interest in Original Premises, New Premises and/or New Building as of the date this Second Amendment is executed by Landlord and Tenant.

Exhibit 10.33
OCLARO, INC.
Executive Severance and Retention Agreement
9 THIS EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AND RETENTION AGREEMENT by and between Oclaro, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [Insert Name] (the “Executive”) is made as of [Insert Date] (the “Effective Date”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive wish to provide for agreed-upon severance arrangements in the event that the Executive ceases to be an employee of the Company under certain circumstances prior to any change in control of the Company,
WHEREAS, the Company also recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly-held corporations, the possibility of a change in control of the Company exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among key personnel, may result in the departure or distraction of key personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders, and
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued employment and dedication of the Company’s key personnel without distraction from the possibility of termination under certain circumstances or a change in control of the Company and related events and circumstances.
NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement for and in consideration of the Executive remaining in its employ, the Company agrees that the Executive shall receive the severance benefits set forth in this Agreement under the terms and subject to the provisions, provided below.
1. Key Definitions.
As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
1.1 “Cause” means:
(a) the Executive’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform Executive’s reasonable assigned duties as an employee of the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any failure after the Executive gives notice of termination for Good Reason), which failure is not cured within 30 days after a written demand for substantial performance is received by the Executive from the Board that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties; provided that, for purposes of Section 3.1, for all Executives other than the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), substantial performance shall be determined by the CEO and such written demand for substantial performance shall be provided by the CEO; or
(b) the Executive’s willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.

 

 


 

For purposes of this Section 1.1, no act or failure to act by the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.
1.2 “Change in Control” means an event or occurrence set forth in any one or more of subsections (a) through (d) below (including an event or occurrence that constitutes a Change in Control under one of such subsections but is specifically exempted from another such subsection):
(a) the acquisition by an individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company if, after such acquisition, such Person beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) 50% or more of either (x) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (y) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company (excluding an acquisition pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for common stock or voting securities of the Company, unless the Person exercising, converting or exchanging such security acquired such security directly from the Company or an underwriter or agent of the Company), (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) of this Section 1.2; or
(b) such time as the Continuing Directors (as defined below) do not constitute a majority of the Board (or, if applicable, the Board of Directors of a successor corporation to the Company), where the term “Continuing Director” means at any date a member of the Board (i) who was a member of the Board on the date of the execution of this Agreement or (ii) who was nominated or elected subsequent to such date by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election or whose election to the Board was recommended or endorsed by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from this clause (ii) any individual whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents, by or on behalf of a person other than the Board; or

(c) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or statutory share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one or a series of transactions (a “Business Combination”), unless, immediately following such Business Combination, each of the following two conditions is satisfied: (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, respectively, of the resulting or acquiring corporation in such Business Combination (which shall include, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring corporation is referred to herein as the “Acquiring Corporation”) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively; and (ii) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) maintained or sponsored by the Company or by the Acquiring Corporation) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquiring Corporation, or of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination); or

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (a) a Change in Control occurs, (b) the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and (c) it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Change in Control Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.
1.4 “Disability” means the Executive’s incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Agreement, each reference to the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment without Cause shall be deemed to exclude the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment by reason of his or her Disability.

(a) The sum of (i) an amount equal to the average of the Executive’s bonuses earned during the last 3 full fiscal years (or such lesser number of years in which the Executive earned a bonus), (“Average Bonus”) divided by 2, with the resulting amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days preceding the Section 3 Date of Termination in the current bonus period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the current bonus period (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”), (ii) any prior period bonus approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board but not paid, (iii) the amount of any accrued base salary and/or vacation pay to the Section 3 Date of Termination, in each case to the extent not previously paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be herein referred to as “Accrued Obligations”), payable in a lump sum in cash within 55 days following the Section 3 Date of Termination; and
(b) An amount, capped at 1.5 times the Executive’s base salary then in effect, equal to (i) Executive’s annual base salary then in effect multiplied by 0.67, plus (ii) one (1) month of the Executive’s monthly base salary then in effect for each whole year of the Executive’s employment by the Company, as measured from the Section 3 Date of Termination (the “Section 3 Termination Payment Period”), which amount shall be paid as a lump sum cash payment within 55 days following the Section 3 Date of Termination (subject to Section 3.2 below).

Executive will be given a 21 day period to review and consider the release (such period may be extended to 45 days if required under applicable law) and the Executive may revoke the release for a period of 7 days, during which time the release shall not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired.

(c) Any Notice of Termination for Cause given by the Company must be given within 90 days of the occurrence of the event(s) or circumstance(s) which constitute(s) Cause. Prior to any Notice of Termination for Cause being given (and prior to any termination for Cause being effective), the Executive shall be entitled to a hearing before the Board at which the Executive may, at the Executive’s election, be represented by counsel and at which Executive shall have a reasonable opportunity to be heard. Such hearing shall be held on not less than 15 days prior written notice to the Executive stating the Board’s intention to terminate the Executive for Cause and stating in detail the particular event(s) or circumstance(s) which the Board believes constitutes Cause for termination.
(d) Any Notice of Termination for Good Reason given by the Executive must be given within 90 days of the occurrence of the event(s) or circumstance(s) that constitute(s) Good Reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such occurrence shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason unless (i) within 30 days of the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Termination, such event or circumstance has not been fully corrected and the Executive has not been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting therefrom and (ii) the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs within two years following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Termination.

For each equity award (including options and other awards) granted to the Executive after the Effective Date and prior to the Change in Control Date, if the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term and the Date of Termination occurs within 12 months following the Change in Control Date due to death, a termination without Cause or a termination for Good Reason, then, effective upon the Date of Termination, (a) each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the Executive (or Executive’s heirs) shall become immediately exercisable in full, (b) each outstanding restricted stock award or RSU shall be deemed to be fully vested and, for RSUs, the shares of Company Stock will be delivered upon vesting and (c) notwithstanding any provision in any applicable option agreement to the contrary, each such option shall continue to be exercisable by the Executive (to the extent such option was exercisable on the Date of Termination) until the earlier of (i) a period of twelve months following the Date of Termination and (ii) the original expiration date of such option.

4.2.2 Compensation. If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term and the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates within 12 months following the Change in Control Date, the Executive shall be entitled to the following additional benefits:
(a) Termination Upon Death, Without Cause or for Good Reason. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 4.4 and 5, if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated (i) because of the death of the Executive or (ii) by the Company (other than for Cause or by reason of the Executive’s Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason in each case within 12 months following the Change in Control Date, then the Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment in cash, payable within 55 days following the Date of Termination, of the aggregate of the following amounts:
(1) the Accrued Obligations;
(2) an amount equal to 1.5 times the Executive’s annual base salary then in effect;
(3) Average Bonus; and
(4) a taxable lump-sum cash payment equal to the Executive’s aggregate premiums to continue his or her existing group health coverage (medical, dental, and vision) in effect as of the Date of Termination pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §§ 1161-1169 (“COBRA”) for a period of 12 months (which payment shall be made if the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage within 55 days following the Date of Termination.).1
(b) Termination upon Disability. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 4.4 and 5, if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability, then the Company shall pay the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 55 days following the Date of Termination, the Accrued Obligations and the Pro-Rata Bonus; provided, however, that the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid to the Executive no later than March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Executive suffers such Disability or the Executive shall thereafter no longer be eligible to receive such a bonus.
4.3 Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit to be paid or provided hereunder would be an “Excess Parachute Payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, but for the application of this sentence, then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided hereunder shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes an Excess Parachute Payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction shall be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided (i.e. a “best results provision”) determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income taxes). The determination of whether any reduction in such payments or benefits to be provided hereunder is required pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made by the Company’s independent accountants at the expense of the Company. The fact that Executive’s right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section shall not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights of Executive under this Agreement. In the event that any payment or benefit intended to be provided hereunder is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section then the payments shall be reduced or eliminated in the following order: (W) any cash payments, (X) any taxable benefits, (Y) any nontaxable benefits, and (Z) any vesting of equity awards, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits that are to be paid the farthest in time from the date that triggers the applicability of the excise tax.
 
     
1   If the Company is not reasonably able to provide such amount (including by reason of a determination by the Company’s outside counsel that it cannot pay such amount without violating Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall provide substantially equivalent health coverage under other sources or will reimburse the Executive for premiums (in excess of the Executive’s cost described above) incurred by the Executive to obtain his or her own such coverage.

4.4 Release. The payment to the Executive (or the Executive’s heirs) of the amounts and benefits payable under Section 4.2.2 shall be contingent on both (i) the execution by the Executive (or the Executive’s heirs) of the Executive Release and upon the Executive Release becoming effective in accordance with its terms within 55 days following the Date of Termination and (ii) agreement by the Executive to standard confidentiality, a non-solicitation of Company customers for six-months following the Change in Control and a non-solicitation of Company employees for twelve months following the Change in Control, provided that the Executive signs such agreement by the 55th day following his or her Date of Termination. Executive will be given a 21 day period to review and consider the release (such period may be extended to 45 days if required under applicable law) and the Executive may revoke the release for a period of 7 days, during which time the release shall not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired.
4.5 Sole Remedy. The payments under this Section 4 constitute the sole remedy of the Executive in the circumstances set forth in this Section 4.
5. Payments Subject to Section 409A. Subject to the provisions in this Section 5, any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement shall begin only upon the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (determined as set forth below) which occurs on or after the Section 3 Date of Termination or the Date of Termination, as applicable. The following rules shall apply with respect to distribution of the payments and benefits, if any, to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement.
5.1 If, as of the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company, the Executive is not a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then severance payments and benefits shall be made on the dates and terms set forth in this Agreement.
5.2 If, as of the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company, the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then:
5.2.1. Each severance payment and benefit due under this Agreement that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein, will in all circumstances, regardless of when the separation from service occurs, be paid within the short-term deferral period (as defined in Section 409A) shall be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A; and

 

- 9 -


 

5.2.2. Each severance payment and benefit due under this Agreement that is not described in Section 5.2.1 above and that would, absent this subsection, be paid within the six-month period following the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s death), with any such payments and benefits that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day following the Executive’s separation from service; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any severance payments and benefits if and to the maximum extent that any such payment or benefit is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service).
5.3 The determination of whether and when the Executive’s separation from service from the Company has occurred shall be made in a manner consistent with, and based on the presumptions set forth in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).
5.4 All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirements that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.
5.5 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no liability to the Executive or to any other person if the payments and benefits provided in this Agreement that are intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A are not so exempt or compliant.
6. Disputes.
6.1 Settlement of Disputes. All claims by the Executive for benefits under Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim.
6.2 Expenses. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal, accounting and other fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any claim or contest by the Company, the Executive or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive regarding the amount of any payment or benefits pursuant to this Agreement); provided that Executive prevails in the outcome of such claim or contest.

6.3 Compensation During a Dispute. Subject to any limitations under Section 409A, if the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term and the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates within 12 months following the Change in Control Date, and the right of the Executive to receive benefits under Section 4 (or the amount or nature of the benefits to which Executive is entitled to receive) are the subject of a dispute between the Company and the Executive, the Company shall continue (a) to pay Executive, the Executive’s base salary in effect as of the Measurement Date and (b) to provide benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them, if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Measurement Date, until such dispute is resolved either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by final adjudication. Following the resolution of such dispute, the sum of the payments made to the Executive under clause (a) of this Section 6.3 shall be deducted from any cash payment which the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4, if any; and if such sum exceeds the amount of the cash payment which the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4, if any, the excess of such sum over the amount of such payment shall be repaid (without interest) by the Executive to the Company within 60 days of the resolution of such dispute.
7. Successors.
7.1 Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, provided that: (i) nothing in this Agreement shall oblige any successor to pay any further sums to the Executive in the event that the Company has fulfilled its obligations to make payments to the Executive and/or the Agreement expires due to any other term set forth in Section 2 above; and (ii) the successor shall not be entitled to ignore the occurrence of a Change in Control in order to avoid any obligations under this Agreement. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall constitute Good Reason if the Executive elects to terminate employment. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as defined above and any successor to its business or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.
7.2 Successor to Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive or Executive’s family hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive’s estate.

Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be sent either (i) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) prepaid via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in each case addressed to the Company, at 2584 Junction Avenue, San Jose, CA 95134, Attn: General Counsel, and to the Executive at the Executive’s address indicated on the signature page of this Agreement (or to such other address as either the Company or the Executive may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith).

9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Employment by Subsidiary. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall not be deemed to have terminated solely as a result of the Executive continuing to be employed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
9.2 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
9.3 Injunctive Relief. The Company and the Executive agree that any breach of this Agreement by the Company is likely to cause the Executive substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, the Executive shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive relief.
9.4 Exclusive Severance Benefits. The making of the payments and the provision of the benefits by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Executive as a result of the termination of Executive’s employment, and the Executive shall not be entitled to additional payments or benefits as a result of such termination of employment under any other plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company or its subsidiaries.
9.5 Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in Sections 3.1 and 4.2.2 by seeking other employment or otherwise. Further, the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company or otherwise.

 

- 12 -


 

9.6 Not an Employment Contract. The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee and that this Agreement does not prevent the Executive from terminating employment at any time. If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason and subsequently a Change in Control shall occur, the Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits hereunder except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3 or 4.
9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
9.8 Waivers. No waiver by the Executive at any time of any breach of, or compliance with, any provision of this Agreement to be performed by the Company shall be deemed a waiver of that or any other provision at any subsequent time.
9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
9.10 Tax Withholding. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable tax withholding required under federal, state or local law.
9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and cancelled.
9.12 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Executive.
9.13 Executive’s Acknowledgements.

Exhibit A
Form of Executive Release Agreement
This Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Oclaro, Inc. (“Company”) and  _____  (“Executive”).
Recital
The Company and Executive have entered into an Executive Severance and Retention Agreement dated _____, 20_____  (“ESRA”), providing for the execution of this release as a condition to receipt of benefits under the ESRA.
1. Consideration.
a. The Recital set forth above is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the same meaning as those contained in the ERSA, except where expressly defined otherwise.
b. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that as of the date this Agreement is signed and except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 1(b) above, Executive has received all compensation Executive has earned while employed by the Company, save and except for base salary which has accrued since Executive’s last paycheck from the Company. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that as of the date this Agreement is signed, Executive has submitted for reimbursement all claims which he has for reimbursement of expenses Executive has incurred in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties for the Company, and that Executive has no dispute with the Company pertaining to any expense reports and reimbursements submitted to or received from the Company.

 

 


 

2. Release. As of the date Executive signs this Agreement, Executive waives all claims Executive might have against the Company (or any person or entity that could be made liable through the Company, including such persons as officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, representatives, agents, assigns, investors, stockholders, insurers, purchasers, successors, assigns, and others) arising out of or relating in any manner to Executive’s prior or current relationship, or change of relationship, with the Company, whether or not Executive’s claims have matured and whether or not Executive is aware of such claims. As used throughout this Agreement, “claims” means and includes all claims for breach of contract, fraud, discrimination on any prohibited basis (including, but not limited to, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, medical condition, marital status, or veteran status), breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of any statute, defamation, breach of any benefit plan provision, breach of any California Labor Code provision, breach of any Business & Professions Code provision, breach of any securities laws or regulations, breach of any Corporations Code provision, interference with contract, interference with economic advantage, violation of ERISA, violation of any wage and hour laws (including any applicable wage orders and regulations) and any other claim arising out of or relating in any manner to the parties’ former or current relationship, or change of that relationship. Executive specifically waives the provisions of Civil Code section 1542 which provides:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
The Company and Executive agree that this release does not apply to claims which cannot be waived as a matter of law or public policy (including, by way of example, claims for unemployment insurance benefits, or claims arising under the Workers Compensation Act). In addition to the foregoing, Executive expressly represents and warrants that Executive has not and will not assign any claim released in this Agreement to any other person or entity. Executive will indemnify and defend the Company for all liabilities (including costs, attorneys fees, damages, settlements, compromises, judgments, penalties, interest, and any other sums) it incurs arising in whole or part from Executive’s untrue representation and warranty.

3. Miscellaneous. This Agreement is the complete agreement between the Company and Executive concerning the subject matters discussed herein, and supersedes all previous discussions, understandings, and agreements between them concerning said matters, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement. This Agreement is governed by California law (except to the extent its conflict of laws principles would apply the law of a different jurisdiction), is entered into and performed entirely in Santa Clara County, San Jose, California. If any provision of this is found invalid by any court having jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall be fully valid and enforceable.

The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
  a)  
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
 
  b)  
Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
