Any determination made by JDSU prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.2 shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.

3.3 Distribution.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (i) on the Distribution Date, JDSU shall deliver to the Distribution Agent for the benefit of holders of record of JDSU Common Stock as of the Record Date, book-entry transfer authorizations for such number of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock necessary to effect the Distribution, (ii) the Distribution shall be effective at the Distribution Effective Time and (iii) JDSU shall instruct the Distribution Agent to distribute, on or as soon as practicable after, the Distribution Effective Time, to each holder of record of JDSU Common Stock as of the Record Date, by means of a pro rata distribution of one share of Holdings Common Stock for every five shares of JDSU Common Stock so held. Following the Distribution Date, Holdings agrees to provide all book-entry transfer authorizations for shares of Holdings Common Stock that JDSU or the Distribution Agent shall require in order to effect the Distribution.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, JDSU shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine the Distribution Date and all terms of the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions and/or offerings to effect the Distribution and the timing of and conditions to the consummation thereof. In addition, JDSU may at any time and from time to time until the completion of the Distribution decide to abandon the Distribution or modify or change the terms of the Distribution, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution.

(c) Stockholders holding a number of JDSU Common Stock as of the Record Date which would entitle such Stockholders to receive less than one (1) whole share (in addition to any whole shares) of Holdings Common Stock in the Distribution will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional shares of Holdings Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to

book-entry accounts. The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Effective Time, (i) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Holdings Common Stock allocable to each holder of record or beneficial owner of JDSU Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, (ii) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests and (iii) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder or owner’s ratable share of the cash proceeds (net of discounts and commissions) of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of Holdings Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any brokerage fees incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares. The sales of fractional shares shall occur as soon after the Distribution Effective Time as practicable and as determined by the Distribution Agent. Neither JDSU nor Holdings or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of Holdings Common Stock. Neither JDSU nor Holdings will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the distribution of shares of Holdings Common Stock in the Distribution is not permitted under the applicable Law of any jurisdiction, JDSU shall deliver cash in lieu of such shares to the extent permitted under such applicable Law, and the procedures set forth in this section in respect of fractional shares shall apply to such shares of Holdings Common Stock that would otherwise have been distributed in such jurisdiction, mutatis mutandis.

(d) Until the shares of Holdings Common Stock are duly transferred in accordance with this section and applicable Law, from and after the Distribution Effective Time, Holdings will regard the persons entitled to receive such shares of Holdings Common Stock as record holders of shares of Holdings Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such persons. Holdings agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Distribution Effective Time, (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the shares of Holdings Common Stock then held by such holder and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the shares of Holdings Common Stock then held by such holder.

(e) Any shares of Holdings Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to Holdings shares that remain unclaimed by any holders of record of JDSU Common Stock one hundred eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to Holdings, and Holdings shall hold such shares of Holdings Common Stock for the account of such holders, and the parties agree that all obligations to provide such shares of Holdings Common Stock and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of Holdings, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and JDSU shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

(d) Subject to Sections 4.8(e) and (f), no party may waive any privilege that could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other party, which consent shall (i) not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) be in writing and (iii) notwithstanding clause (ii), be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice has been given by the party requesting such consent of the other party.

(g) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of JDSU and Lumentum set forth in this Section 4.8 and in Section 5.4 to maintain the confidentiality of privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. The parties agree that their respective rights to any access to Information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of privileged Information between the parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

(h) In furtherance of the parties’ agreement under this Section 4.8, JDSU and Lumentum shall, and shall cause applicable members of their respective Group to, maintain their respective separate and joint privileges, including by executing joint defense and common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.

No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party so waiving.

7.5 Force Majeure. No party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) notify the other parties of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as feasible.

7.6 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by facsimile or electronic transmission with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this section (or paragraph)):

7.7 Termination. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and the Distribution abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution Effective Time by and in the sole discretion of JDSU without the prior approval of any Person, including Lumentum or Holdings. In the event of such termination, this Agreement shall become void and no party, or any of its officers and directors shall have any liability to any Person by reason of this Agreement. After the Distribution Effective Time, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties.

7.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

7.9 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

7.10 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that a party may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with a sale or disposition of any assets or entities or lines of business of such party or in connection with a merger transaction in which such party is not the surviving entity; provided, however, that, in each case, no such assignment shall release such party from any liability or obligation under this Agreement nor change any of the steps in this Agreement, and the surviving entity of any merger or the transferee of such assets or businesses shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if named as a party hereto. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights under this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the parties and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns. Except as provided in Article V with respect to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

7.11 Public Announcements. From and after the Distribution Effective Time, JDSU, Lumentum and Holdings shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system.

7.12 Specific Performance. Subject to the provisions of Article V, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach,

including monetary damages, may be inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the parties.

7.13 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by each of the parties to this Agreement.
