Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Separation Agreement (as defined below). RECITALS WHEREAS, MRV has transferred or will transfer to Luminent effective as of the Separation Date, substantially all of the business and assets of the Luminent Business owned by MRV in accordance with the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of July 25, 2000, and amended as of September 8, 2000, between MRV and Luminent (as amended, the "Separation Agreement"), and WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth certain agreements regarding real estate matters. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I PROPERTY SECTION 1.1 LEASED PROPERTY --------------- (a) MRV shall assign or cause its applicable Subsidiary to assign, and Luminent shall accept and assume, or cause its applicable Subsidiary to accept and assume, MRV's or its Subsidiary's interest in the Leased Properties, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and (to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement) the terms of the Separation Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. Such assignment shall be completed on the later of: (i) the Separation Date; or (ii) the earlier of (A) the fifth business day after the relevant Lease Consent has been granted, or (B) the date agreed upon by the parties in accordance with Section 1.6(a) below. (b) Subject to the completion of the assignment to Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary of the relevant Leased Property, with respect to each Leased Property, MRV shall assign or cause its applicable Subsidiary to assign to Luminent or its applicable subsidiary any and all rights to occupy the property identified in Section A of Schedule 1 of this Agreement. SECTION 1.2 SHARED PROPERTIES ----------------- MRV shall grant or cause its applicable Subsidiary to grant to Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary the right to occupy those parts of the Shared Properties identified in Section B of Schedule 1 of this Agreement and Luminent shall accept or cause its applicable Subsidiary to accept the same, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and 4 (to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement) the terms of the Separation Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. Such rights shall be completed on the Separation Date. SECTION 1.3 CHANGE IN ALLOCATION OR TERM. The parties may, by mutual agreement, modify the terms of each assignment or sublease that is granted subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Such modifications shall be of no force or effect unless set forth in writing. SECTION 1.4 OBTAINING THE LEASE CONSENTS (a) MRV confirms that, with respect to each Leased Property, an application has been made or will be made by the Separation Date to the relevant Landlord for the Lease Consents required with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) MRV will use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the Lease Consents as to each Leased Property, but MRV shall not be required to commence judicial proceedings for a declaration that a Lease Consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed, nor shall MRV be required to pay any consideration in excess of that required by the Relevant Lease or that which is typical in the open market to obtain the relevant Lease Consent. Luminent shall cooperate as reasonably requested by MRV to obtain the Lease Consents. (c) Luminent and MRV will promptly satisfy or cause their applicable Subsidiaries to satisfy the lawful requirements of the Landlord, and Luminent will take or cause its applicable Subsidiary to take all steps to assist MRV in obtaining the Lease Consents as to each Leased Property, including, without limitation: (i) if properly required by the Landlord, entering into an agreement with the relevant Landlord to observe and perform the tenant's obligations contained in the Relevant Lease throughout the remainder of the term of the Relevant Lease, subject to any statutory limitations of such liability; (ii) if properly required by the Landlord, providing a guarantee, surety or other security (including, without limitation, a security deposit) for the obligations of Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary as tenant under the Relevant Lease, and otherwise taking all steps which are reasonably necessary and which Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary is reasonably capable of doing to meet the lawful requirements of the Landlord so as to ensure that the Lease Consents are obtained; and (iii) using all reasonable commercial efforts to assist MRV with obtaining the Landlord's consent to the release of any guarantee, surety or other security which MRV or its Subsidiary may have previously provided to the Landlord and, if required, offering the same or equivalent security to the Landlord in order to obtain such release. (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) except with respect to guarantees, sureties or other security referenced in Section 1.4(c)(ii) above, Luminent shall not be required to obtain a release of any obligation entered into by MRV or its Subsidiary with any Landlord or other third party with respect to any Property and (2) Luminent shall not communicate or permit its applicable Subsidiary to communicate directly with any of the Landlords unless Luminent can show MRV reasonable grounds for doing so. (d) If, with respect to any Leased Properties, MRV and Luminent are unable to obtain a release by the Landlord of any guarantee, surety or other security which MRV or its Subsidiary 2 5 has previously provided to the Landlord, Luminent shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless MRV and its Subsidiary from and after the Separation Date against all losses, costs, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred by MRV or its Subsidiary as a result of Luminent's occupancy of the Leased Property with respect to such guarantee, surety or other security. SECTION 1.5 OCCUPATION BY LUMINENT (a) Subject to compliance with Section 1.5(b) below, in the event that the Actual Completion Date for any Leased Property does not occur on the Separation Date, Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary shall, commencing on the Separation Date, be entitled to occupy the relevant Property (except to the extent that the same is a Retained Part) as a licensee upon the terms and conditions contained in MRV's Lease. Such license shall not be revocable prior to the date for completion as provided in Section 1.1(a) unless an enforcement action or forfeiture by the relevant Landlord due to Luminent's or its applicable Subsidiary's occupation of the Property constituting a breach of MRV's Lease cannot, in the reasonable opinion of MRV, be avoided other than by requiring Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary to immediately vacate the relevant Property, in which case MRV may by notice to Luminent immediately require Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the relevant Property. Luminent will be responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by MRV or its applicable Subsidiary as a consequence of such occupation, except for any losses, claims, costs, demands and liabilities incurred by MRV or its Subsidiary as a result of any enforcement action taken by the Landlord against MRV or its Subsidiary with respect to any breach by MRV or its Subsidiary of the Relevant Lease in permitting Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary to so occupy the Property without obtaining the required Lease Consent, for which MRV or its Subsidiary shall be solely responsible. Neither Luminent nor its applicable Subsidiary shall be entitled to make any claim or demand against, or obtain reimbursement from, MRV or its applicable Subsidiary with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the Property or in obtaining alternative premises, including, without limitation, any enforcement action which a Landlord may take against Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary. (b) In the event that the Actual Completion Date for any Leased Property does not occur on the Separation Date, whether or not Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary occupies a Property as licensee as provided in Section 1.5(a) above, Luminent shall, effective as of the Separation Date, (i) pay or cause its applicable Subsidiary to pay MRV all rents, service charges, insurance premiums and other sums payable by MRV or its applicable Subsidiary under any Relevant Lease, (ii) observe or cause its applicable Subsidiary to observe the tenant's covenants, obligations and conditions contained in MRV's Lease and (iii) indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless MRV and its applicable Subsidiary from and against all losses, costs, claims, damages and liabilities arising on account of any breach thereof by Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary. (c) MRV shall supply promptly to Luminent copies of all invoices, demands, notices and other communications received by MRV or its applicable Subsidiaries or agents in connection with any of the matters for which Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary may be liable to make any payment or perform any obligation pursuant to Section 1.5(a) or (b), and shall, at Luminent's cost, take any steps and pass on any objections which Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary may have in connection with any such matters. Luminent shall promptly supply to MRV any notices, demands, invoices and other communications received by Luminent or its 3 6 applicable Subsidiary or agents from any Landlord while Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary occupies any Property without the relevant Lease Consent. SECTION 1.6 OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE (a) If, with respect to any Leased Property, at any time the relevant Lease Consent is formally and unconditionally refused in writing, MRV and Luminent shall commence good faith negotiations and use commercially reasonable efforts to determine how to allocate the applicable Property, based on the relative importance of the applicable Property to the operations of each party, the size of the applicable Property, the number of employees of each party at the applicable Property and the potential risk and liability to each party in the event an enforcement action is brought by the applicable Landlord. Such commercially reasonable efforts shall include consideration of alternate structures to accommodate the needs of both parties and the allocation of the costs thereof, including entering into amendments of the size, term or other terms of the Relevant Lease, restructuring a proposed lease assignment to be a sublease and relocating one party. If the parties are unable to agree upon an allocation of the Property within fifteen (15) days after commencement of negotiations between the parties as described above, then either party may, by delivering written notice to the other, require that the matter be referred to the Chief Financial Officers of both parties. In such event, the Chief Financial Officers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the allocation of the Property, including having a meeting or telephone conference within ten (10) days thereafter. If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of an applicable Property within fifteen (15) days after the matter is referred to the Chief Financial Officers of the parties as described above, the disposition of the applicable Property and the risks associated therewith shall be allocated between the parties as set forth in subparts (b) and (c) of this section below. (b) If, with respect to any Leased Property, the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of a Property as set forth in Section 1.6(a), MRV may by written notice to Luminent elect to apply to the relevant Landlord for consent to sublease all of the relevant Property to Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary for the remainder of the Relevant Lease term less three (3) days at a rent equal to the rent from time to time under the Relevant Lease, but otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Relevant Lease. If MRV makes such an election, until such time as the relevant Lease Consent is obtained and a sublease is completed, the provisions of Section 1.5 will apply and, on the grant of the Lease Consent required to sublease the Leased Property in question, MRV shall sublease or cause its applicable Subsidiary to sublease to Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary the relevant Property which sublease shall be for the term and rent set forth in the Relevant Lease and otherwise on the terms of the Relevant Lease. (c) If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of a Property as set forth in Section 1.6(a) and MRV does not make an election pursuant to Section 1.6(b) above, MRV may elect by written notice to Luminent to require Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the relevant Property immediately or by such other date as may be specified in the notice served by MRV (the "Notice Date"), in which case Luminent shall vacate or cause its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the relevant Property on the Notice Date but shall indemnify MRV and its applicable Subsidiary from and against all costs, claims, losses, liabilities and damages in relation to the relevant Property arising from and including the Separation Date to and including the later of the Notice Date and date on which Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary vacates the relevant Property, except for any costs, losses, damages, claims and liabilities incurred by MRV or its Subsidiary with respect to any enforcement action taken by the Landlord against MRV or its 4 7 Subsidiary with respect to any breach by MRV or its Subsidiary of the Relevant Lease in permitting Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary to so occupy the Property without obtaining the required Lease Consent. Neither Luminent nor its applicable Subsidiary shall be entitled to make any claim or demand against or obtain reimbursement from MRV or its applicable Subsidiary with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the Property or obtaining alternative premises, including, without limitation, any enforcement action which a Landlord may take against Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary. SECTION 1.7 FORM OF TRANSFER (a) The assignment to Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary of each relevant Leased Property shall be in substantially the form attached in Schedule 2, with such amendments which in the reasonable opinion of MRV are necessary with respect to a particular Property, including, without limitation, in all cases where a relevant Landlord has required a guarantor or surety to guarantee the obligations of Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary contained in the relevant Lease Consent or any other document which Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary is required to complete, the giving of such guarantee by a guarantor or surety, and the giving by Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary and any guarantor or surety of Luminent's or its applicable Subsidiary's obligations of direct obligations to MRV or third parties where required under the terms of any of the Lease Consent or any covenant, condition, restriction, easement, lease or other encumbrance to which the Property is subject. Such amendments shall be submitted to Luminent for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) The rights to be granted by Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary to MRV or its applicable Subsidiary, and MRV or its applicable Subsidiary to Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary, with respect to the Shared Properties shall be at a rental rate set forth in Schedule 5 hereof and be for a term defined in the subleases and master leases commencing as of the Actual Completion Date. SECTION 1.8 CASUALTY; LEASE TERMINATION. The parties hereto shall grant and accept assignments, leases or subleases of the Properties as described in this Agreement, regardless of any casualty damage or other change in the condition of the Properties. In addition, subject to MRV's obligations in Section 5.6 of the Separation Agreement, in the event that MRV's Lease with respect to a Leased Property or a Shared Property or MRV's interest in the leased portion of the Headquarters Facility is terminated prior to the Separation Date, (a) MRV or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to assign or sublease such Property, (b) Luminent or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to accept an assignment or sublease of such Property and (c) neither party shall have any further liability with respect to such Property hereunder.
