Objective: The parties wish to form a contract manufacturing relationship whereby Fabrinet will manufacture optical communications products for sale to Finisar. The parties will begin the relationship with Fabrinet building sub-assemblies for optical transceivers based on Finisars design. It is Finisars intent, assuming that Fabrinet can build products at the prices, in the quantities, and to the specifications requested by Finisar, that Fabrinet will manufacture up to [***]% of Finisars transceiver product line, made up of the receiver, transmitter, and printed circuit board sub assemblies, and that Fabrinet will become Finisars preferred contract manufacturer. It is Fabrinets intent to produce high-quality, competitively priced products for Finisar, and to offer Finisar sufficient manufacturing capacity to help Finisar meet its customers needs.
1. Supply Orders. Supply or Supplies means the products listed in Exhibit A. Specifications for Supplies (Specifications) are also listed in Exhibit A.
2. Purchasing Entities. Finisar or its assignees may purchase Supplies under this Agreement.
3. Manufacturing Equipment; IP License.
3.1. Finisar will deliver to Fabrinet on consignment the manufacturing equipment (Equipment) listed on Exhibit B. The Equipment will be used exclusively by Fabrinet for the manufacture of Supplies through Fabrinet Ltd. (Thailand), a subsidiary of Fabrinet formed under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand (FT), and to fill Orders for Finisar. Fabrinet will assume all risk of loss to the Equipment once Finisar delivers it to the FT manufacturing location in Thailand. Fabrinet will keep the Equipment in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Fabrinet will maintain the Equipment at an FT facility in Thailand. Fabrinet will not attempt to transfer or convey the Equipment to any third party. Fabrinet will return all Equipment to Finisar, at Finisars expense, immediately upon Finisars request.

Finisar purchases similar products from other vendors due to Fabrinets failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, then such purchases will not be considered in determining Finisars compliance with this purchase commitment (i.e. those purchases will be deducted from Finisars total purchases before calculating the commitment amount).
(2) Manufacturing Commitment: Fabrinet will maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity to be able to increase the number of units of each Supply shipped weekly to Finisar by [***]% within two weeks, [***]% with four weeks, and [***]% within six weeks. The capacity will be based on the weekly average number of units shipped to Finisar over the then-preceding four weeks.
