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 Finisar’s design. It is Finisar’s 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 Finisar’s transceiver product line, made up of the receiver, transmitter, and printed circuit board sub assemblies, and that Fabrinet will become Finisar’s preferred contract manufacturer. It is Fabrinet’s 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 Finisar’s expense, immediately upon Finisar’s request. (“Subsidiary” means a corporation in which a party directly owns or controls, and continues to own or control, more than fifty percent of the voting stock.)

(1) Purchase Commitment: For each calendar quarter beginning from the time the Supplies in this Exhibit qualify for sale to Finisar, Finisar intends to purchase from Fabrinet up to [***]% of its actual requirements for those Supplies, subject to Fabrinet’s ability to deliver quality Supplies at competitive prices in quantities and at the times required under this Agreement.

Finisar purchases similar products from other vendors due to Fabrinet’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, then such purchases will not be considered in determining Finisar’s compliance with this purchase commitment (i.e. those purchases will be deducted from Finisar’s 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. For example, if Fabrinet shipped a total of [***] units of a Supply over the preceding four-week period (i.e., a weekly average of [***]), then Fabrinet must be able to ship up to [***] units in each of the next two weeks, up to [***] units per week after two weeks, up to [***] units per week after four weeks, and up to [***] units per week after the sixth week. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fabrinet will have no liability for breaching this manufacturing commitment if such breach is caused solely by Finisar’s failure to timely deliver the Equipment and necessary quantities of Material for the Supplies.
