(b) Each certificate for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation held by AT&T and each certificate for any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any such certificate shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Sections 8(c) and 8(d)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THESE -9- SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8 OF A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMONG TELLIUM, INC. AND AT&T CORP., AND NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. UPON THE FULFILLMENT OF CERTAIN SUCH CONDITIONS, THE SECRETARY OF TELLIUM, INC. HAS AGREED TO DELIVER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF A NEW CERTIFICATE, NOT BEARING THIS LEGEND, FOR THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE HOLDER HEREOF. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF TELLIUM, INC." (c) AT&T agrees, prior to any Transfer of such shares, to give written notice to the Corporation of AT&T's intention to effect such Transfer and to comply in all other respects with the provisions of this Section 8. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer and shall be accompanied by the written opinion, addressed to the Corporation, of counsel for the holder of such shares, stating that in the opinion of such counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) such proposed Transfer does not involve a transaction requiring registration or qualification of such shares under the Securities Act or the securities "blue sky" laws of any relevant state of the United States; provided, -------- however, that no such opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a Transfer by - ------- AT&T to a wholly-owned subsidiary if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 8 to the same extent as if such transferee were originally a signatory to this Agreement. AT&T shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such shares in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by it to the Corporation. Each certificate or other instrument evidencing the securities issued upon the Transfer of any such shares (and each certificate or other instrument evidencing any untransferred balance of such shares) shall bear the legend set forth in Section 8(b) unless (x) in such opinion of counsel registration of any future Transfer is not required by the applicable provisions of the Securities Act or (y) the Corporation shall have waived the requirement of such legends; provided, however, that such legend shall not be required on -------- ------- any certificate or other instrument evidencing the securities issued upon such Transfer in the event such Transfer shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the transferee is not an affiliate of the Corporation. AT&T shall not Transfer any shares until such opinion of counsel has been given (unless waived by the Corporation or unless such opinion is not required in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8(c)). (d) AT&T agrees that it shall not Transfer such shares to a transferee that is a competitor of the Corporation (as determinated in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation). Each transferee of Common Shares from AT&T or a subsequent transferee shall take such Common Shares subject to the same restrictions as existed in the hands of the transferor, including, without limitation, the restrictions imposed by this Section 8. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the restrictions imposed by this Section 8 upon the transferability of any shares of the capital stock of the Corporation held by AT&T shall cease and terminate and not apply (i) when any such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or as otherwise contemplated by Section 8(c) and, pursuant to Section 8(c), the securities so transferred are not required to bear the legend set forth in Section 8(b) or (ii) when the holder of such shares has met the requirements for Transfer of such shares pursuant to subparagraph (k) of Rule 144 or (iii) as part of a change in control of the Corporation (provided that this Section 8 shall continue to apply thereafter, except Section 8(d), which shall not apply in a sale of the Corporation to a public company). Whenever the restrictions imposed by this Section 8 shall terminate, as herein provided, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation, without expense, a new certificate not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 8(b) and not containing any other reference to the restrictions imposed by this Section 8. SECTION 9. Transfer Taxes. The Corporation agrees that it will pay, and --------- -------------- will hold AT&T harmless from, any and all liability with respect to any stamp, transfer or similar taxes which may be determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, or any modification, amendment or alteration of the terms or provisions of this Agreement; provided that this Section 9 shall not apply to Transfers of the -------- Common Shares. SECTION 10. Exchanges; Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Certificates. Upon ---------- ------------------------------------------------- surrender by AT&T to the Corporation of any certificate representing Common Shares, the Corporation at its expense will issue in exchange therefor, and deliver to AT&T, a new certificate or certificates representing such shares, in such denominations as may be requested by AT&T. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate representing any Common Shares, and in case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of any indemnity agreement satisfactory to the Corporation, or in case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate, the Corporation at its expense will issue and deliver to AT&T a new certificate for such shares of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen or mutilated certificate. SECTION 11. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements, Etc. ---------- ------------------------------------------------------------ All representations and warranties hereunder shall survive the Closing and expire on the date that is two years after the Closing Date, and all agreements contained herein shall survive indefinitely until, by their respective terms, they are no longer operative.

TELLIUM, INC., a Delaware corporation By: /s/ ------------------------------------ Name: Title: AT&T CORP., a New York corporation By: /s/ ------------------------------------ Name: Title: -14- ANNEX I REGISTRATION RIGHTS ------------------- 1. Piggyback Registration Rights. ----------------------------- (a) Right to Piggyback. Subject to Sections 1(b) and 1(c) below, whenever ------------------ the Corporation proposes to register any shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or options to purchase, Common Stock) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") (other than pursuant to an initial public offering or a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor forms thereto) (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Corporation (i) will give written notice to AT&T, so long as AT&T holds Registrable Securities (as defined below), at least 30 days prior to the anticipated filing date, of its intention to effect such a registration, which notice will specify the proposed offering price, the kind and number of securities proposed to be registered, the distribution arrangements and such other information that at the time would be appropriate to include in such notice, and (ii) will, subject to Section 1(c) below, include in such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Corporation has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the date of the Corporation's notice. Except as may otherwise be provided herein, Registrable Securities with respect to which such request for registration has been received will be registered by the Corporation and offered to the public in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Annex on terms and conditions at least as favorable as those applicable to the registration of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Corporation and by any other person selling under such Piggyback Registration. (b) Number of Piggyback Registrations. AT&T shall be entitled to unlimited --------------------------------- Piggyback Registrations. (c) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter or ----------------------------------- underwriters, if any, advise AT&T in writing that in its or their reasonable opinion or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration not being underwritten, the Corporation shall reasonably determine (and notify AT&T of such determination), after consultation with an investment banker of nationally recognized standing, that the number or kind of securities proposed to be sold in such registration (including Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to Section 1(a) above) is inconsistent with that which can be sold in such registration without having a material effect on the success of the offering (including, without limitation, an impact on the selling price or the number of securities that any participant may sell), the Corporation will include in such registration the number of securities, if any, which, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters, or the Corporation, as the case may be, can be sold as follows: (i) first, the shares the Corporation proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by the "Holders" under the Corporation's Stockholders Agreement, as amended from time to time, (iii) third, shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration statement by stockholders pursuant to the conversion of any shares of preferred stock or debt of the Corporation, in each case, sold after the date hereof, and (iv) fourth, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by AT&T and other holders of common stock of the Corporation which possess at least as favorable -1- registration rights as AT&T. (d) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an ------------------------- underwritten offering, the Corporation will (i) select a managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which managing underwriter or underwriters will be of nationally recognized standing, and (ii) determine the terms under which such underwriting shall take place. (e) Withdrawal and Postponement. If, at any time after giving written --------------------------- notice of its intention to register any equity securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Corporation shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such equity securities, the Corporation may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to AT&T and (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned registration and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay such registration of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities requested by AT&T to be included therein for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity securities. 2. Restrictions on Public Sale. To the extent not inconsistent with --------------------------- applicable law, (i) AT&T agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of Common Shares, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, during the 180-day period (or such shorter period as may be consented to by the managing underwriter or underwriters, and the Corporation agrees to use its best efforts to cause any such consent granted by any underwriter to be made available to all other holders of Registrable Securities on a ratable basis) following its initial public offering (whether or not a Qualified IPO (as defined below)), and (ii) AT&T, if its Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement (as defined below) hereunder, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters for such Piggyback Registration, agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, during the 15 business days prior to, and during the 90-day period (or such shorter period as may be consented to by such underwriter or underwriters, which consent, if granted, will be made available to all other holders of Registrable Securities on a ratable basis) following the effective date of a Registration Statement pursuant to such Piggyback Registration (except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), as part of such Piggyback Registration). 3. Registration Expenses. --------------------- (a) Generally. All expenses incident to the Corporation's performance of --------- or compliance with this Annex I will be borne by the Corporation, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, the fees and expenses of the counsel and accountants for the Corporation (including the expenses of any "cold comfort" letters and special audits required by or incident to the performance of such persons), all other costs and expenses of the Corporation incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the registration statement (the "Registration Statement") (and all amendments and supplements thereto) and furnishing copies thereof and of the prospectus (the "Prospectus") included therein, the costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection -2- with the qualification of the Registrable Securities under the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws of various jurisdictions, the costs and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriter" and its counsel as may be required by the rules and regulations of the NASD), the costs and expenses of listing the Registrable Securities for trading on a national securities exchange or authorizing them for trading on the NASDAQ National Market System and all other costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with any Piggyback Registration hereunder; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not bear -------- ------- the costs and expenses of AT&T for underwriters' commissions, brokerage fees or transfer taxes, or, the fees and expenses of any counsel, accountants or other representative retained by AT&T. 4. Indemnification. --------------- (a) Indemnification by the Corporation. The Corporation agrees to ---------------------------------- indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, AT&T, its officers, directors and agents and each person who controls AT&T within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Holder"), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is caused by any information with respect to such Indemnified Holder furnished in writing to the Corporation by such Indemnified Holder or its representative expressly for use therein. The Corporation shall take commercially reasonable steps necessary in order to cause AT&T to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above with respect to information with respect to such persons or entities so furnished in writing by such persons or entities or their representatives specifically for inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus. (b) Indemnification by AT&T. In connection with any Piggyback Registration ----------------------- in which AT&T participates, AT&T will furnish to the Corporation in writing such information with respect to it as the Corporation reasonably requests for use in connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, and agrees to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Corporation, the directors and officers of the Corporation signing the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Corporation (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus (in the case of the Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is caused by any information with respect to AT&T so furnished in writing by it or its representative specifically for inclusion therein. In no event shall the liability of AT&T be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after deducting commissions and expenses) received by AT&T upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such -3- indemnification obligation. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above with respect to information with respect to such persons or entities so furnished in writing by such persons or entities or their representatives specifically for inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus. (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person or entity entitled -------------------------------------- to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by the indemnified party of a written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party will claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, -------- ------- that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding Section 4(a) or 4(b), as applicable, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will be required to consent to the entry of any judgment or to enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in ------------ the preceding Section 4(a) or 4(b), as applicable, is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by such Section, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnification, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that AT&T -------- ------- shall not be required to contribute in an amount greater than the difference between the net proceeds received by AT&T with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities and all amounts already contributed by AT&T with respect to such claims, including amounts paid for any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by AT&T and amounts paid or incurred by AT&T pursuant to Section 4(b). 5. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. AT&T may not participate ------------------------------------------- in any underwritten registration hereunder unless AT&T (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided -4- in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Corporation, and (ii) accurately completes in a timely manner and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 6. Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings: ----------- "Qualified IPO" shall mean the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Corporation's Common Stock under the Securities Act which results in gross proceeds to the Corporation of not less than $50 million at an offering price per share of Common Stock of not less than $22.88 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any stock splits, reverse splits or similar recapitalizations affecting shares of Common Stock, including the proposed three-for-one stock split). "Registrable Securities" shall mean the shares of Common Stock held by AT&T, and any shares issued in respect thereof; provided, however, that a -------- ------- Registrable Security shall cease to be a Registrable Security at such time that (i) the Registrable Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement covering it or (ii) has been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and any legend required under federal or state securities laws has been removed from the certificate representing such Registrable Security, or (iii) the Security may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k), or (iv) when all the Registrable Securities may be sold within a three month period pursuant to Rule 144. 7. Assignment of Rights. AT&T may assign its rights to participate in any -------------------- Piggyback Registration a maximum of one time in connection with the Transfer to an Affiliate of AT&T of any Registrable Securities, and AT&T (to the extent it holds Registrable Securities) and such assignee shall have the rights set forth in this Annex I, provided that such assignee agrees to be bound by the obligations set forth herein applicable to a holder of Registrable Securities. -5-
