Products that are not rejected within the Inspection Period will be deemed to have been accepted by EMCORE; provided, however, that EMCORE's acceptance of any Products will not be deemed to be a waiver or limitation of Fastrain's obligations

pursuant to this Agreement (or any breach thereof), including those obligations with respect to Fastrain's Product Warranty and Fastrain's duty to indemnify EMCORE.

Twice per year (each March and September), the Parties will review and mutually agree in good faith to pricing for each Product for the following six-month period (the agreed price for such quarter, the “Price”), provided that in no event shall Prices for the next period exceed the current price for the applicable Product. At each such review, Fastrain shall provide EMCORE with a price reduction plan for next subsequent six-month period.

5.5     The Parties shall seek to resolve any invoice disputes expeditiously and in good faith in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 17.16.

Except for any amounts disputed by EMCORE in good faith, Fastrain's accurate and correctly submitted invoices will be payable within 45 days following the later of (a) EMCORE's receipt of Fastrain's invoice or (b) EMCORE's receipt of the applicable Products. Any payment by EMCORE for Products will not be deemed acceptance of the Products or waive EMCORE's right to inspect. EMCORE will be entitled to apply any discounts allowable and determined by Fastrain for prompt payment of the interest of the unpaid amount even though EMCORE is unable to make payment within the time limits set by Fastrain if such failure is due to Fastrain's actions or other circumstances or events beyond EMCORE's reasonable control. EMCORE shall make all payments in US dollars by check, wire transfer or automated clearing house in accordance with the payment instructions provided by Fastrain to EMCORE.

In addition to all other rights and remedies available to Fastrain in connection with any breach of the foregoing obligations, interest shall accrue at a rate of 0.02% per day for all amounts unpaid when due, provided that such interest shall not exceed 5% of all amounts unpaid when due.

5.7    Setoff; Contingent or Disputed Claims. All amounts due from EMCORE to Fastrain are net of any indebtedness of Fastrain to EMCORE. In addition to any right of set-off, deduction or recoupment provided or allowed by Law, EMCORE may, following good faith discussion with Fastrain, set off against, and deduct and recoup from, any amounts due or to become due from EMCORE to Fastrain, any amounts due from Fastrain to EMCORE, including for damages resulting from breaches by Fastrain of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between such parties. If an obligation of Fastrain is disputed, contingent or unliquidated, payment by EMCORE of the disputed portion of the amount due may be deferred until such dispute is resolved, provided that such dispute shall be resolved promptly, and each Party shall seek to resolve such dispute in good faith in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 17.16 of this Agreement. In the event of Fastrain's

bankruptcy, if all of the contracts (including this Agreement) between EMCORE and Fastrain have not been promptly assumed by Fastrain (under applicable Law), EMCORE may withhold payment to Fastrain for Products undelivered (via administrative hold or otherwise) until the risk of potential rejection and other losses is eliminated.

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

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

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

14.2    Tooling Orders.  

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

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

EMCORE shall, at its own expense, for the benefit of EMCORE, insure all Bailed Property with full and extended coverage for all losses, for its full replacement value, in accordance with the terms of Section 16. As and when it is commercially reasonable to do so, Fastrain shall bear the cost and expense, maintain, repair, refurbish and replace Bailed Property, unless otherwise agreed by EMCORE after good faith discussion. All replacement parts, additions, improvements, and accessories for such Bailed Property will automatically become EMCORE's property upon their incorporation into or attachment to the Bailed Property. All replacements of Bailed Property will also be EMCORE's property. Fastrain shall replace any missing components of or inserts to any Bailed Property.

14.4    Inventory. Fastrain will maintain a written inventory of all Bailed Property that sets forth a description and the location of all Bailed Property, and provide a copy of this inventory to EMCORE upon request. Fastrain shall mark all Bailed Property permanently and conspicuously to identify it as the property of EMCORE, and indicate EMCORE's name during the period of Term. Fastrain shall immediately sign any documents reasonably requested by EMCORE to evidence all of EMCORE's rights to and interests in Bailed Property. Fastrain grants to EMCORE a limited and irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute and record on Fastrain's behalf any documents with respect to Bailed Property that EMCORE determines are reasonably necessary to reflect EMCORE's interest in the Bailed Property.

Fastrain shall insure Fastrain's Property with full and extended coverage for all losses, for its full replacement value, in accordance with the terms of Section 16.

15.    Inspection and Audit Rights. Fastrain hereby grants to EMCORE and its authorized Representatives access to Fastrain's premises used in production of the Products and all pertinent documents and other information about Products, whether stored in tangible or intangible form, including any books, records and accounts, in any way related to Fastrain's performance under this Agreement (including Fastrain’s processes and procedures), Products, Bailed Property or any payment or other transaction occurring in connection with this Agreement, for the purpose of auditing Fastrain's compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including Fastrain's charges for Products, or inspecting or conducting an inventory of finished Products, work-in-process or raw-material inventory (other than the information forbidden or restrained by Governmental Authorities or Laws, or related personal information). Fastrain agrees to cooperate fully with EMCORE in connection with any such audit or inspection in necessary scope. Fastrain shall maintain, during the Term and for a period of three years after the Term, complete and accurate books and records and any other financial information.

During the Term and for a period of one year thereafter, Fastrain and any subcontractor performing services under this Agreement shall, at its own expense, maintain and carry in full force and effect commercial general liability insurance (including property insurance), all-risk property insurance covering all of Fastrain's (or the applicable subcontractor’s) material Property, including Equipment and inventory, for its full replacement value, with financially sound and reputable insurers.

with, the Laws of Singapore, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The Parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Products does not apply to this Agreement. Any Dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement, the New Asset Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the seat of arbitration shall be Singapore. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such arbitration in any such action, proceeding or dispute.

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

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

17.20    Force Majeure. Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be excused to the extent that the delay or failure was caused directly by an event beyond such Party's control, without such Party's fault or negligence and that by its nature could not have been foreseen by such Party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (which events may include natural disasters, embargoes, explosions, riots, infectious disease, wars or acts of terrorism) (each, a "Force Majeure Event"). Fastrain's financial inability to perform, changes in cost or availability of materials, components or services, market conditions or supplier actions or contract disputes and EMCORE's financial inability to perform, market conditions, customer

actions or contract disputes will not excuse performance by Fastrain and EMCORE under this Section 17.20. A Party shall give the other Party prompt written Notice of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in a Force Majeure Event and the anticipated duration of such Force Majeure Event. Each Party shall use all diligent efforts to end the Force Majeure Event, ensure that the effects of any Force Majeure Event are minimized and resume full performance under this Agreement. During any Force Majeure Event, EMCORE may, at its option (a) purchase Products from other sources and reduce the quantities hereunder by such quantities without liability to Fastrain, and require Fastrain to reimburse EMCORE for any reasonable additional costs to EMCORE of obtaining the substitute goods compared to the Prices for such Products under this Agreement, (b) require Fastrain to deliver to EMCORE all finished Products, work in process or parts and materials produced or acquired for work under this Agreement as are within the capabilities of Fastrain and at the Prices for the Products hereunder or following further negotiation under the premise of capacity, or (c) require Fastrain to provide Products from other sources in quantities and at a time determined by both Parties and at the Prices for the Products hereunder. If requested by either Party, the other Party shall, within 10 days of such request, provide adequate assurances that a Force Majeure Event will not exceed 60 days. If the delay due to the Force Majeure lasts more than 180 days, EMCORE or Fastrain may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party. The rights granted to Fastrain and EMCORE with respect to excused delays or failure to perform under this Section 17.20 are intended to limit Fastrain's and EMCORE’s liabilities under theories of force majeure, commercial impracticability, impracticability or impossibility of performance, or failure of presupposed conditions or otherwise.

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

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

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

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

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

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
