                        CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

          This CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Settlement"), dated as
of June 25, 2003, by and among JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("JDSU" or "Claimant"), and IPG PHOTONICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("IPG" or "Respondent");

                                   WITNESSETH:

          A. IPG and JDSU's predecessor in interest, SDL Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("SDL"), entered into a purchase and sale agreement entitled IPG
Photonics Corporation Purchase and Sale Agreement No. 1-99, dated May 11, 1999,
which was subsequently amended by the parties on or about May 18, 2000 and
amended a second time on or about November 15, 2000 (collectively, the
"Agreement"); and

          B. a dispute arose between IPG and SDL's successor in interest, JDSU,
concerning the parties' performance, rights, and obligations under the
Agreement; and

          C. JDSU has commenced an arbitration proceeding against IPG before the
American Arbitration Association, entitled JDS Uniphase Corporation against IPG
Photonics Corporation, AAA Number 74 181 01636 02, now pending before the AAA
San Jose Regional Office (the "Arbitration"), alleging that IPG has breached the
Agreement and now owes JDSU in excess of $10 million;

          D. JDSU also commenced a proceeding against IPG in Massachusetts state
court, entitled JDSU Uniphase Corp. v. IPG Photonics Corp., No. 02-1780, now
pending before the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
requesting, among other things, equitable relief in the form of an attachment of
IPG's assets in Massachusetts (the "State Court Action").

          E. IPG has asserted counterclaims against JDSU and SDL in the
Arbitration and the State Court Action sounding in breach of contract, unfair
competition and violation of federal and state laws governing anti-trust and
unfair competition;

          F. Both parties have denied the others' operative allegations
contained in the Arbitration claim filed by JDSU and the counterclaims filed by
IPG; and

          G. IPG and JDSU each believes that it will be best served by ending
the disputes reflected in the Arbitration and the State Court Action and that
the continued prosecution of the Arbitration and the State Court Action will
entail the expenditure of substantial legal fees and management time for both
IPG and JDSU over the course of several years, resources that each of them
believes would be better spent in pursuit of such business interest; and

          H. Subject to the terms of this Settlement and the other instruments
and documents to be entered into by it pursuant hereto, JDSU is therefore
willing to dismiss the claims it has asserted against IPG in the Arbitration and
the State Court Action, and IPG is willing to dismiss the counterclaims that it
has asserted against JDSU in the Arbitration and the State Court Action; and

          attached hereto, pursuant to which IPG agrees that it will supply to
          JDSU, pulsed Ytterbium fiber laser modules (current and new commercial
          versions) that it sells on the merchant market, excluding those fiber
          lasers as to which IPG is subject to exclusivity obligations and (b) a
          Master Supply Agreement under which JDSU agrees to supply to IPG, and
          IPG agrees to purchase from JDSU on the terms and conditions set forth
          in Exhibit E, commercially available Laser Diodes and packaged Laser
          Diodes that it sells on the merchant market.

5. Investment By JDSU.

Promptly following the execution of this Settlement, IPG and JDSU will negotiate
in good faith to document and effectuate the general terms set forth below
governing the terms of a new series of convertible preferred stock of IPG (the
"Series D Preferred") and a convertible note (the "Convertible Note") to be to
be issued to JDSU at the Closing. The parties hereto agree that IPG shall
provide to JDSU drafts of the principal documents incorporating the terms of the
Series D Preferred and Convertible Note (collectively, the "Equity Documents")
to JDSU not later than three business days following the execution of this
Settlement. It is the goal of the parties hereto to execute and deliver the
Equity Documents (including obtaining all necessary approvals and consents,
which IPG agrees to request in good faith) not later than three weeks following
the execution of this Settlement. The terms of the Equity Documents shall
reflect the following:

     A.   IPG would provide a new series of convertible preferred stock, the
          Series D Preferred, having a $5,100,000 liquidation preference. IPG
          would issue the Series D Preferred representing 5% of IPG outstanding
          shares (fully diluted, including accounting for weighted average
          ratchet and warrant positions) to JDSU.


                                        5

<PAGE>

          i.   The liquidation preference and price per share would be $1.90 per
               share (equal to $5,100,000);

          ii.  Series D Preferred rights and preferences would be substantially
               similar to Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred stock of IPG
               currently outstanding (except for ratchet and warrants,
               participating rights after payment of full liquidation
               preference, and process control rights), including same
               liquidation preference and weighted average anti-dilution rights.
               The Series D Preferred would have no superior rights or
               preferences;

          iii. IPG would provide to JDSU copies of all financial materials
               submitted to its Board of Directors (e.g., balance sheets, income
               statements, cash flows), except for strategic marketing or
               product pricing materials. JDSU would agree to implement a
               "Chinese wall" within its organization to protect disclosure by
               the holder of the IPG materials to competing JDSU operating
               divisions and personnel; and

          iv.  This issuance would be subject to reasonable due diligence by
               JDSU and subject to reasonable confidentiality limitations on the
               material supplied to JDSU.

     B.   IPG would issue to JDSU the Convertible Note in the principal amount
          of $5,100,000, due three years after issuance and convertible, in
          whole or in part, at IPG's option, into Series D Preferred.

          i.   The conversion price for the Convertible Note into Series D
               Preferred would be $1.90 per share;

          ii.  The Series D Preferred shares acquired upon conversion of the
               Convertible Note would have a conversion price into common the
               same as the then conversion price for outstanding Series D
               Preferred shares (i.e., lower of $1.90/share or weighted average
               price (accounting for dilutive issuances, splits, reverse splits,
               etc.) of the outstanding Series D Preferred); and

          iii. The full amount of the Convertible Note would be immediately
               payable (or convertible) in the event of a Change in Control of
               IPG.

6. Intellectual Property.

     A.   JDSU represents to its Knowledge (defined below) that no current
          product of JDSU violates any currently issued U.S. Patents owned by
          IPG for the design, manufacture or conception of fiber lasers or the
          components thereof. For purposes of this Settlement, "Knowledge" means
          the opinion of JDSU's Vice President of Intellectual Property, formed
          after due inquiry, including but not limited to the General Manager of
          JDSU's Commercial Lasers division.

     B.   IPG disclaims any and all rights, interests or ownership in and to any
          of the intellectual property used to develop or otherwise contained in
          the laser diodes and fiber laser products at issue in the Arbitration.
          IPG further agrees that JDSU's products have not


                                        6

<PAGE>

          violated IPG's fiber laser related patents; provided that this
          covenant does not affect any of IPG's rights or assets in the future,
          except as expressly stated in this Section 6 or in Sections 7B or 10B.

     C.   IPG covenants that it will not commence an action claiming that JDSU's
          or its Affiliates' products infringe any patents owned by IPG or its
          Affiliates, or which IPG or its Affiliates have the right to assert,
          for any period prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Settlement,
          "Affiliate" means an entity which owns or controls, directly or
          indirectly, more than 50% of the voting interests in, or more or than
          50% of the voting interests of which is owned or controlled, directly
          or indirectly, by a party.

     D.   IPG covenants that, for a period of three years from the date of the
          Closing, it will not bring any claims against JDSU or its Affiliates
          under any issued patents that exist as of the date of the Closing, or
          currently pending patent applications which IPG or its Affiliates own
          or have the right to assert. The covenant in the preceding sentence
          shall not prevent IPG from asserting patent infringement or
          intellectual property-related counterclaims or defenses against JDSU
          in a patent infringement lawsuit filed by JDSU against IPG, or for
          asserting misappropriation claims against JDSU directly related to the
          hiring or retention by JDSU of IPG's employees or consultants and the
          use by JDSU of information developed by such former IPG employee or
          consultant for or on behalf of IPG or others associated with IPG. In
          the event of any finding of liability against JDSU for patent
          infringement or violation of intellectual property rights of IPG, the
          parties agree to the following additional stipulations:

          i.   With respect to any existing JDSU fiber laser products, IPG
               foregoes recovery of any damages owed by JDSU to IPG for three
               years from the date of the Closing; and

          ii.  With respect to other JDSU products, IPG would be entitled to
               recover damages commencing not earlier than the date of the
               Closing.

     E.   Nothing in this Settlement shall be interpreted or construed as a
          grant, sale, transfer, assignment or license, directly or indirectly,
          by IPG or its Affiliates to JDSU of any intellectual property rights
          or properties, including without limitation any patent, copyright,
          trade secrets, trademarks or tradenames, of IPG or its Affiliates,
          whatsoever.

          Settlement.

     C.   No Release of Indebtedness.

          Nothing in this Settlement shall be deemed to constitute a release of
          indebtedness by JDSU to IPG which obligations existing as of the date
          hereof are contained solely in the Note and the related Security
          Agreement and Mortgage, and in the Convertible Note, it being agreed
          that this Settlement settles and releases all claims and allegations
          by the parties against each other regarding obligations and rights
          that were in dispute by each of JDSU and IPG in the Arbitration and
          the State Court Action.

     D.   Possession of Claims.

          The parties hereto represent and warrant that they are the owners of
          the Claims being released pursuant to this Settlement. The parties
          hereto further represent and warrant that they have not previously
          assigned, transferred, hypothecated, granted a security interest in or
          lien upon, or purported to assign, transfer, hypothecate or grant a
          security interest in or lien upon, any Claim or portion thereof which
          is released hereby to another person or entity which is not a
          signatory to this Settlement, and agree to indemnify fully the other
          parties hereto for any judgments,


                                        8

<PAGE>

          attorneys' fees or costs incurred which result from the assertion by
          any person of any interest in the released Claim due to any purported
          agreement or dispute as to ownership of the Claims released pursuant
          to this Settlement.

8. California Civil Code Section 1542.

     The parties hereto acknowledge familiarity with Section 1542 of the Civil
     Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:

          A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
          not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
          release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
          settlement with the debtor.

     The parties hereto waive and relinquish any right and benefit which they
     have or may have under Section 1542 and any Massachusetts statutory or
     common law equivalent or any other similar applicable statutes to the full
     extent that they may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining
     to the subject matter of this Settlement as described above.

9. Closing.

The consummation of the transactions and releases contemplated by this
Settlement shall occur at a closing (the "Closing"). It shall be a condition to
Closing that all of the Equity Documents shall be executed and delivered by the
parties hereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both parties
hereto, and that all other documents or filings necessary or reasonably
requested by a party hereto to effectuate the Equity Document and the other
agreements set forth in this Settlement shall be executed and delivered and
shall have been made simultaneously. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions
in this Settlement, each party hereto shall deliver to the other party executed
originals of the Stipulation and Order of Dismissal-Arbitration; the Stipulation
and Order of Dismissal-State Court Action; the Note; the Security Agreement; the
Mortgage; the Master Supply Agreements; and the Equity Documents, including the
Convertible Note and a stock certificate representing the issued shares of
Series D Preferred. IPG shall also pay to JDSU at the Closing $302,006.30
referred to in Section 3(A) above. The covenants, representations and warranties
contained in Sections 6 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Worldwide Mutual Releases),
10 (Future Disputes), and 11 (Termination of Agreement) hereof shall become
effective only upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Settlement at the Closing.

10. Future Disputes.

     A.   Attempts To Resolve.

          If, after the date of this Settlement, either IPG or JDSU (the
          "Alleging Party") believes it has a claim (a "New Dispute") against
          the other, the Alleging Party shall give notice to the other party of
          the New Dispute, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature and
          basis for the New Dispute. The parties, for a period of thirty (30)
          days (or such other longer period as determined by mutual consent of
          the Disputing Parties), shall use their best efforts to resolve such
          New Dispute between themselves and neither party shall commence any
          such action during such thirty (30) day period.

     B.   IPG's Assertion of Defenses.


                                        9

<PAGE>

          In the event JDSU brings an action against IPG for breach of any term
          or obligation of this Settlement and the other instruments and
          documents to be entered into by it pursuant hereto, IPG agrees that it
          will not assert as a counterclaim or defense in that action, any
          claims contending that JDSU has engaged in unfair competition or other
          claims brought under the anti-trust laws of the United States, any of
          its states, or a foreign country. To the extent that IPG wishes to
          pursue any of the foregoing claims against JDSU, IPG shall be
          permitted to assert those claims in a separate and unrelated action
          but only to the extent that the basis for the claim is not JDSU's
          assertion of a breach of any term or obligation of this Settlement and
          the other instruments and documents to be entered into by it pursuant
          hereto.

11. Termination of Agreement.

     Upon execution of this Settlement, the Agreement between IPG and JDSU shall
terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
thereunder.

the requirements of applicable law, to confidentiality, (C) any party may
disclose the existence and the terms of this Settlement if and to the extent
(but only to the extent) it is required to do so by an order of a court of
competent jurisdiction or by a subpoena or any other demand for discovery made
in an action or proceeding pending in a court or governmental agency of
competent jurisdiction, provided that, in the case of such a subpoena or other
demand for discovery, the party receiving such process shall notify each other
party to this Settlement of such receipt, together with delivery of a copy
thereof and, in such case, any such notified party shall have the right to
object, at its own cost, to compliance with any such subpoena or other demand
based on the confidentiality of this Settlement.

     such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder hereof
     or thereof, and any such prohibited or invalid provision shall be deemed to
     be amended to the extent necessary such that, as so amended, it will be

     days after Maker's receipt of Holder's written notice to the Maker of such
     failure, or (ii) if such failure is not curable within such thirty-day
     period, but is reasonably capable of cure within forty-five days, either
     (A) such failure shall continue for forty-five days or (B) Maker shall not
     have commenced and continued to prosecute a cure

Delaware corporation ("SECURED PARTY").

1.   Background and Purpose

Debtor and Secured Party have entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement,
dated the dated hereof (the "Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which Debtor
agreed to execute and delivered a Secured Promissory Note dated the date hereof
in favor of Secured Party in the face amount of $6,076,284.66 (the "Note"). As a
condition precedent to the consummation of the Settlement Agreement, Secured
Party has required Debtor to grant, and Debtor has agreed to grant, to Secured
Party a continuing first priority security interest in and to the Collateral (as
hereinafter defined) of Debtor to secure its obligations to Secured Party under
the Note.

2.   Grant of Security Interest

To secure Debtor's Obligations (as defined in Paragraph 3 below), Debtor grants
to Secured Party a security interest in the Collateral (as defined in Paragraph
4 below).

3.   Obligations

For purposes of this Agreement, "Obligations" means any and all debts,
obligations, and liabilities of Debtor to Secured Party arising out of, or
relating in any way to the Note, and any obligations of Debtor to Secured Party
pursuant to this Agreement, whether existing or arising after the date of this
Agreement, whether voluntary or involuntary or whether absolute or contingent
and whether or not from time to time increased, decreased, extinguished,
created, or incurred.

4.   Collateral

For purposes of this Agreement, "Collateral" means:

     (a)  All inventory listed on Schedule A attached hereto ("Inventory"); and

     (b)  All equipment, furniture and fixtures listed on Schedule A attached
          hereto ("Equipment"); and

     (c)  In addition to the collateral described above, Debtor grants to
          Secured Party a security interest in any and all proceeds of the
          Inventory and Equipment, in any and all additions and accessions to,
          insurance or condemnation proceeds of, and documents covering
          Collateral, in all property received, in whole or in part, in trade or
          exchange for Collateral, in all rents, revenues, issues, profits, and
          proceeds arising from sale, lease, license, encumbrance, collection,
          or any other temporary or permanent disposition of the Collateral, or
          in any interest on Collateral.

5.   Representations and Warranties

Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party as follows:

5.1  Title. Debtor is the owner of all right, title, and interest in the
     Collateral free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and security
     interests, except the security interest created by this Agreement.

<PAGE>

5.2  Truth. All information that Debtor has provided to Secured Party concerning
     the Collateral is true and correct in all material respects.

5.3  Defenses. No defenses, offsets, claims, or counterclaims exist against
     Debtor that may be asserted against Secured Party in any proceeding to
     enforce Secured Party's rights in the Collateral.

5.4  Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by
     Debtor is not in violation of any applicable law or regulation or
     contractual obligation of Debtor.

5.5  First Priority Lien. The liens granted to Secured Party under this
     Agreement will constitute a first priority lien on the Collateral on the
     filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement.

5.6  Good Standing. Debtor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing,
     and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

5.7  Due Authorization. Debtor has been duly authorized to execute and deliver
     this Agreement, which is a valid and binding obligation of Debtor.

6.   Covenants of Debtor

6.1  Protection of Security Interest. Contemporaneously with the execution of
     this Agreement, Debtor shall properly execute and deliver to Secured Party
     one or more UCC-1 Financing Statements to enable Secured Party to perfect
     Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral. Debtor agrees also to
     execute, file, and record such other statements, notices, and agreements,
     take such action and obtain such certificates and documents, in accordance
     with all applicable laws, statutes, and regulations as may be necessary or
     advisable to perfect, evidence, and continue Secured Party's security
     interest in the Collateral.

6.2  Transactions Involving Collateral. Debtor shall not, without the prior
     written consent of Secured Party, (a) sell or otherwise transfer the
     Collateral, except that assets may be sold or transferred for fair value
     and Debtor shall repay the net cash proceeds from the sale or transfer to
     Secured Party pursuant to the terms of the Note, or (b) pledge, mortgage,
     encumber, or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien,
     security interest, or charge, other than the security interest created by
     this Agreement; except for the following liens: the attachment under Writ
     of Attachment dated February 28, 2003 covering the Collateral in favor of
     Secured Party; liens for taxes, assessments, or other government charges
     not yet due or those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate
     proceedings; and liens of mechanics, materialmen or other workmen incurred
     in the ordinary course of business and not materially detracting from the
     value of the property or assets.

6.3  Compliance with Laws. Debtor shall comply in all material respects with all
     laws, statutes, and regulations pertaining to the Collateral.

6.4  Taxes, Assessments, and Liens. Debtor shall pay when due all taxes,
     assessments, and liens with regard to the Collateral. Debtor may withhold
     any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Debtor is conducting
     appropriate proceedings in good faith to contest the obligation to pay and
     so long as Secured Party's interest is not jeopardized.

6.5  Notification of Change in Name or Location. The Debtor shall notify Secured
     Party in writing of a change in Debtor's name or corporate


                                        2

<PAGE>

     structure or jurisdiction of incorporation within five business days prior
     to the change. The Debtor shall also cooperate with Secured Party to enable
     Secured Party to file either a new UCC-1 Financing Statement or an
     amendment to the existing UCC-1 Financing Statement to reflect the change
     and to continue Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral.

6.6  Insurance. The Debtor shall maintain and keep in force insurance of the
     types and in amounts customarily carried in lines of business similar to
     that of Debtor, and shall deliver to Secured Party from time to time at

     Collateral then in effect.

     preserved in good condition, repair and working order, excepting ordinary
     wear and tear.

6.8  Inspection. The Debtor shall furnish to Secured Party from time to time
     statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral
     and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Secured Party
     may reasonably request, and will permit independent external certified
     professional accountants acceptable to Debtor and Secured Party (subject to
     execution by such accountants of a reasonable non-disclosure agreement),
     upon reasonable written notice to the Debtor during the Debtor's usual
     business hours, to inspect and/or conduct audits with respect to the
     Collateral.

6.9  Impairment. The Debtor shall give prompt written notice to Secured Party of
     any casualty or loss which has impaired in any material respect the useful
     live, value or operation of the Collateral.

7.   Authorized Action by Secured Party

Debtor irrevocably appoints, only after an Event of Default, Secured Party as
Debtor's attorney in fact to do any act that Debtor is obligated to do pursuant
to this Agreement to preserve or protect the Collateral and to preserve,
protect, or establish Secured Party's lien on the Collateral. Debtor further

          nominee's name; and

     (c)  Make any compromise or settlement and take any action Secured Party
          deems advisable with respect to the Collateral. Debtor agrees to
          reimburse Secured Party on demand for any reasonable out of pocket
          costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable external
          attorney fees, which Secured Party may incur while acting as Debtor's
          attorney in fact under this Agreement, all of which costs and expenses
          are included in the Obligations secured by this Agreement. Secured
          Party shall have no obligation to act pursuant to this paragraph and
          shall not be required to make any presentment, demand, or protest, or
          give any notice or


                                        3

          (B) Debtor shall not have commenced and continued to prosecute a cure

                                    MORTGAGE

IPG PHOTONICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation having a usual place of
business at 50 Old Webster Road, Oxford, Worcester County, Massachusetts 01540
("Mortgagor"), for consideration paid, grants to JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation having a place of business at 1768 Automation Parkway, San
Jose, California 95131 ("Mortgagee")

with mortgage covenants to secure the payment of SIX MILLION, AND SEVENTY-NINE
THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO and 60/100 DOLLARS ($6,079,472.60) with
interest thereon as provided in a Secured Promissory Note ("Note") of even date
given by Mortgagor to Mortgagee

the land in Oxford, Worcester County, Massachusetts, described on Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the
"Collateral").

The Mortgagor, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants with Mortgagee
and its successors and assigns that it is lawfully seized in fee simple of the
mortgaged premises; that it is free from all encumbrances (other than an
attachment in favor of Mortgagee pursuant to that certain Writ of Attachment
dated February 28, 2003); that Mortgagor has good right to sell and convey the
same; and that it will, and its successors and assigns shall warrant and defend
the same to Mortgagee and its successors and assigns forever against the lawful
claims and demands of all persons; and that Mortgagor and its successors or
assigns, in case a sale shall be made under the power of sale, will, upon
request, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed
or deeds of release confirming such sale; and that Mortgagee and its successors
and assigns are appointed and constituted the attorney or attorneys irrevocable
of the said Mortgagor to execute and deliver to the said purchaser a full
transfer of all policies of insurance on the buildings upon the land covered by
the mortgage at the time of such sale.

The Mortgagor shall pay when due and payable all taxes, charges and assessments
to whomsoever and whenever laid or assessed, whether on the mortgaged premises
or on any interest therein or on the debt or obligation secured hereby; shall
keep the buildings on said premises insured against fire in a sum not less than
the amount secured by the mortgage or as otherwise provided therein for
insurance for the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, in such
form and at such insurance offices as they shall approve, and, at least two days
before the expiration of any policy on said premises, shall deliver to it a new
and sufficient policy to take the place of the one so expiring, and shall not
commit or suffer any strip or waste of the mortgaged premises or any breach of
any covenant contained in the mortgage.

     In addition to and in furtherance of the foregoing covenants, Mortgagor
represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:

<PAGE>

1. Title. Mortgagor is the owner of all right, title, and interest in the
Collateral free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and security interests,
except an attachment in favor of Mortgagee pursuant to that certain Writ of
Attachment dated February 28, 2003, and the lien created by this Mortgage.

2. Truth. All information that Mortgagor has provided to Mortgagee concerning
the Collateral is true and correct in all material respects.

3. Defenses. No defenses, offsets, claims, or counterclaims exist against
Mortgagor that may be asserted against Mortgagee in any proceeding to enforce
Mortgagee's rights in the Collateral.

4. Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Mortgage by
Mortgagor is not in violation of any applicable law or regulation or contractual
obligation of Mortgagor.

5. Good Standing. Mortgagor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing,
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

6. Due Authorization. Mortgagor has been duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Mortgage, which is a valid and binding obligation of Mortgagor.

7. Transactions Involving Collateral. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, (a) sell or otherwise transfer the Collateral,
except that assets may be sold or transferred for fair value and Mortgagor shall
repay the net cash proceeds from the sale or transfer to Mortgagee pursuant to
the terms of the Note, or (b) pledge, mortgage, encumber, or otherwise permit
the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest, or charge, other
than the security interest created by this Mortgage and except for the following
liens: the attachment under Writ of Attachment dated February 28, 2003 covering
the Collateral in favor of Mortgagee; liens for taxes, assessments, or other
government charges not yet due or those which are being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings; and liens of mechanics, materialmen or other workmen
incurred in the ordinary course of business and not materially detracting from
the value of the property or assets.

8. Compliance with Laws. Mortgagor shall comply in all material respects with
all laws, statutes, and regulations pertaining to the Collateral.

9. Taxes, Assessments, and Liens. Mortgagor shall pay when due all taxes,
assessments, and liens with regard to the Collateral. Mortgagor may withhold any
such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Mortgagor is conducting
appropriate proceedings in good faith to contest the obligation to pay and so
long as Mortgagee's interest is not jeopardized.

10. Notification of Change in Name or Location. The Mortgagor shall notify
Mortgagee in writing of a change in Mortgagor's name or corporate structure or
jurisdiction of incorporation within five business days prior to the change. The
Mortgagor shall also cooperate with Mortgagee to enable Mortgagee to file either
a new mortgage or an amendment to this mortgage to reflect the change and to
continue Mortgagee's security interest in the Collateral.

11. Insurance. The Mortgagor shall maintain and keep in force insurance of the
types and in amounts customarily carried in lines of business similar to that of
Mortgagor, and shall deliver to Mortgagee from time to time at Mortgagee's
request schedules setting forth all insurance covering the Collateral then in
effect.

12. Maintenance. The Mortgagor shall cause the Collateral to be maintained and
preserved in good condition.

13. Inspection. The Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Mortgagee may reasonably
request, and will permit independent external certified professional accountants
acceptable to Mortgagor and Mortgagee (subject to execution by such accountants
of a reasonable non-disclosure agreement), upon reasonable written notice to
Mortgagor during Mortgagor's usual business hours, to inspect and/or conduct
audits with respect to the Collateral.

14. Impairment. The Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice to Mortgagee of
any casualty or loss which has impaired in any material respect the useful live,
value or operation of the Collateral.

15. Breach of Covenants and Bankruptcy. The occurrence of any of the following
shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

(a)  Failure to Pay. Mortgagor shall fail to pay (i) any principal payment on
     the due date under the Note or (ii) any interest or other payment required
     pursuant to the terms of the Note on the date due and such payment shall
     not have been made within thirty days of Mortgagor's receipt of Holder's
     (as defined in the Note) written notice to Mortgagor of such failure to
     pay; or

(b)  Breaches of Covenants. Mortgagor shall fail to observe or perform any
     covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Mortgage or
     the Note and (i) such failure shall continue for thirty days after
     Mortgagor's receipt of Holder's written notice to Mortgagor of such
     failure, or (ii) if such failure is not curable within such thirty-day
     period, but is reasonably capable of cure within forty-five days, either
     (A) such failure shall continue for forty-five days or (B) Mortgagor shall
     not have commenced and continued to prosecute a cure in a manner reasonably
     satisfactory to Holder within and continuously during the initial
     thirty-day period; or

(c)  Change of Control. A Change of Control shall have occurred with respect to
     Mortgagor. For purposes hereof, the term "Change of Control" means the
     occurrence of one or more of the following events: (a) any sale, lease,
     exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
     transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of Mortgagor and
     its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person or group of related
     Persons, as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
     (a "Group"); and (b) any Person or Group (excluding owners of equity
     securities as of the date of the Note) shall become the owner, directly or
     indirectly, beneficially or of record, of shares representing more than 50%
     of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by Mortgagor's issued
     and outstanding voting stock or any successor to all or substantially all
     of Mortgagor's assets.

     case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other
     relief with respect to Mortgagor or the debts thereof pursuant to any
     bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect
     shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall
     not be dismissed or discharged within ninety days of commencement.

16. Rights of Holder Upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event
of Default, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of
Default, Holder may, by written notice to Mortgagor, declare all outstanding
obligations payable by Mortgagor hereunder and under the Note to be immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; except that upon the occurrence
or existence of any Event of Default set forth in Sections 15(c), (d) or (e)
herein, all of the outstanding obligations payable by Mortgagor hereunder or
under the Note shall automatically become immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived. No delay or omission by Holder in exercising any right
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right under the Note; a
waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any
right on any future occasion. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the
occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, Holder may exercise any other
right, power or remedy granted to it hereunder, under the Note or pursuant to
applicable law. The Mortgagor agrees to pay all taxes levied or assessed upon
the outstanding principal against any holder of the Note. The prevailing party
in any action (i) to collect payment on the Note, (ii) in connection with any
dispute that arises as to its enforcement, validity, or interpretation, whether
or not legal action is instituted or prosecuted to judgment, or (iii) to enforce
any judgment obtained in any related legal proceeding, shall be entitled to all
costs and expenses incurred, including attorney fees.

This mortgage is upon the STATUTORY CONDITION, for any breach of which Mortgagee

During the first seven (7) calendar days of each month during the Term, Customer
shall provide Supplier a Rolling Forecast. A Rolling Forecast is an estimate of
projected Product requirements based on the information then available to

commitment of Supplier to manufacture, deliver or sell Product. Supplier shall
use Rolling Forecasts for internal material planning requirements.

5.0 PRODUCTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS

5.1 Products. Any pulsed Ytterbium fiber laser module offered for sale by
Supplier on the merchant market, but subject to exclusivity obligations of
Supplier described in Section 3.1, and ordered by, taken delivery of or paid for
by Customer from Supplier shall be a "Product" hereunder. The parties shall seek
to complete and update Exhibit A from time to time in respect of each such
Product.

5.2 Issuance. Customer shall from time to time issue Purchase Orders. Customer
shall only use the Products for incorporation into its systems/products and for
warranty purposes related to same, and not for resale without incorporation in
systems/products.

5.3 Acknowledgement. As soon as reasonably possible (and in no event later than
three (3) business days) immediately following the receipt of each Purchase
Order, Supplier shall acknowledge receipt of such Purchase Order.

5.4 Acceptance and Delivery Dates. As soon as reasonably possible (and in no
event later than five (5) business days) immediately following the receipt of
each Purchase Order, Supplier shall accept any Purchase Order having delivery
dates consistent the applicable lead-time for such Product as set forth in
Exhibit A or, in the case of Exhibit A not being complete, as from time to time
provided by Supplier to Customer (collectively, "Lead-Time") and the delivery
dates set forth in such Purchase Order acceptance shall be deemed the Delivery
Dates for such Products.

To the extent that the delivery dates set forth in a Purchase Order are not
consistent with the applicable Lead-Time, Supplier shall accept such Purchase
Order and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide delivery dates for
Products ordered thereunder. To the extent that Supplier does not provide
delivery dates, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
Customer with delivery dates as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. In
either case, the delivery dates provided by Supplier shall be deemed the
Delivery Dates for such Products, unless Customer rejects same by written notice
thereof on or before five (5) business days immediately following Supplier's
provision of such Delivery Dates, in which case the parties shall acting
reasonably and in good faith promptly negotiate mutually acceptable Delivery
Dates. Thereafter, and to the extent that Supplier and Customer do not agree
upon mutually acceptable Delivery Dates, either party may, by providing written
notice to the other party, forthwith terminate the applicable Purchase Order
with respect to Product for which there is no Delivery Date.

5.5 Changes. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Customer shall
not cancel or terminate, reschedule or delay a Purchase Order, or applicable

5.6 Cancellation and Cancellation Costs. Subject to compensating Supplier in
accordance with this Section, Customer may cancel a Purchase Order, in whole or
part and without cost or penalty, by providing notice to Supplier prior to the
applicable Delivery Date. In the event that Customer provides Supplier with a
notice of cancellation four (4) weeks or less prior to the applicable Delivery
Date, Customer may not cancel and Customer must take and pay for all Product
delivered on or before the Delivery Date or within two (2) weeks thereafter. In
the event that Customer provides Supplier with a notice of cancellation more
than four (4) weeks (but less than the then current Lead-Time for the applicable
Product) prior to the applicable Delivery Date, Customer shall pay or reimburse
Supplier for the reasonable out of pocket or direct costs incurred by Supplier
relating to such canceled Product at the time of cancellation, including without
limitation with respect to work in process and raw materials, to the extent that
Supplier cannot (using reasonable efforts) mitigate such costs within forty-five
(45) calendar days of such cancellation, it being agreed that Customer shall not
be required to reimburse Supplier for laser diodes manufactured by Customer
which Supplier has in inventory on the Effective Date. This shall be Supplier's
sole and exclusive remedy and Customer's sole and exclusive liability/obligation
to Supplier for any cancellation hereunder by Customer.

5.7 Rescheduling. Provided Customer provides Supplier with at least fifteen (15)
calendar days notice in advance of a Delivery Date for a Product, Customer may
re-schedule such Delivery Date, at no cost or penalty and on a one time basis
only, up to a maximum of sixty (60) calendar days. Thereafter, Customer shall
take delivery of and pay for the Product in accordance with this Agreement.

6. PRICES FOR PRODUCTS

6.1 Prices for Products. Customer shall pay the applicable price for each
Product as set forth in U.S. dollars in Exhibit A (or if not set forth in
Exhibit A, as otherwise agreed by the parties) and as may be amended from time
to time by Supplier and Customer in accordance with this Agreement. All prices
are FCA (Incoterms 2000) Supplier's relevant facility, exclusive of Taxes,
transportation, insurance and brokerage fees.

6.2 Product Pricing Structure.

     (i)  The parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement is being
          executed by the parties as part of a settlement arrangement to resolve
          various outstanding issues between the parties, including the
          settlement of various contractual payments to be made by Supplier to
          Customer under a prior supply agreement between the parties. As
          partial consideration to Customer of its execution of a settlement and
          other related agreements, Supplier agrees to provide Customer with
          Product pricing, as follows:

          During the Initial Term, the pricing shall be based upon Supplier's
          standard (market) non-distributor Product pricing for the given level
          of committed purchases (as mutually agreed upon by the parties).
          Supplier shall invoice to Customer such purchase price which shall be
          broken down into [***] and [***] (in each case as defined below). For
          the purposes of this Section and subject to Exhibit B, the [***] shall
          be [***] as mutually agreed upon by the parties [***] and the [***]
          shall be the difference between Supplier's invoiced


                                       4

<PAGE>

          prices for Products and the [***] as mutually agreed upon by the
          parties [***]. Notwithstanding any other term or condition of this
          Agreement, Customer's sole and exclusive payment obligation in respect
          of the purchase price for a Product shall be to pay the [***] in
          accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement
          and, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, in
          no event shall Customer have any obligation to make any payments in
          respect of the [***]. The [***] shall represent additional
          consideration paid by Supplier to Customer under the above mentioned
          settlement arrangement, and shall be satisfied (and are hereby deemed
          to be satisfied) by Customer by its acceptance of such amounts as
          additional consideration paid by Supplier to Customer under the above
          mentioned settlement arrangement which acceptance is hereby provided.
          For greater certainty and the avoidance of doubt, [***], as noted
          above, shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.

     (ii) Renewal Term: During the Renewal Term, the prices for Products shall
          be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Supplier represents, warrants
          and agrees that, in all cases, Supplier shall offer to, and charge,
          Customer prices for Products which are equal to, or less than, the
          lowest price offered or charged to any other purchaser or customer
          (excluding bone fide distributors in the normal course of Supplier's
          business) purchasing the Products or similar products (for marking
          systems or for other applications that Customer actually is currently
          in or in the future enters into and in respect of which Customer
          provides notice to Supplier) in the same or similar quantities
          (collectively, "Similar Purchaser"). If Supplier offers a lower price
          for the Product or similar product to any Similar Purchaser, then
          Supplier shall offer such pricing to Customer retroactively as of the
          date first offered to such Similar Purchaser.

6.3 Taxes. Except to the extent that applicable exemptions are available,
obtained and documented for Supplier, Customer shall pay all Taxes and shall
promptly reimburse Supplier for any Taxes which Supplier pays directly to any
taxing authority. Supplier's invoices to Customer are payable in full without
deduction for any Taxes, including without limitation withholding taxes.

7.0 INVOICING AND PAYMENT

During the Initial Term only, Supplier invoices shall set forth a Supplier
determined market price for each Product, the amount of the applicable Cash
Payment determined in accordance with Section 6.2(i) and the Contract Payment
determined in accordance with Section 6.2(i). For greater certainty and the
avoidance of doubt the cash amount to be paid for a Product during the Initial
Term shall always be the Cash Payment determined in accordance with Section
6.2(i). Supplier may issue an invoice as soon as the time of Product shipment
from Supplier's relevant facility, and Customer shall pay such invoice for the
Cash Payment within thirty (30) calendar days thereof. To the extent that
Customer that a proposed shipment to Customer exceeds the credit limits set by
Supplier for Customer in accordance with its ordinary practice, Supplier
reserves the right to require alternative payment terms including, without
limitation, letter of credit or payment in advance. If at any time Customer is
delinquent in the payment of any invoice or is otherwise in breach


                                       5

<PAGE>

of this Agreement, Supplier may, at its discretion, stop performance of services
or withhold shipment (including partial shipments) of any order and may, at its
option, require Customer to pre-pay for further performance or shipments. All
payments not received when due shall be subject to an additional interest charge
at an annual rate of 10% (.83% per month), or such lower interest rate as may be
otherwise permitted at law, of the unpaid amount until the date of payment,
without prejudice to any other rights, remedies or recourses which Supplier may
have under this Agreement, at law or in equity. The right of Supplier to any
payment provided for under this Agreement shall not be subject to any abatement,
reduction, set off, defense, counterclaim or recoupment of any amount due or
alleged to be due by reason of any past, present or future claims of Customer.

8.0 PRODUCT DELIVERY

8.1 Delivery Date. Except as provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
mutually agreed upon by the parties, in writing, Supplier shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to ship Products on the applicable Delivery Date.

8.2 Delay in Shipment. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
notify Customer in a timely manner of any delay in Delivery Dates, stating the
reasons for the delay. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize delays in Delivery Dates and, upon occurrence of any such delay, shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy same in a timely manner.

8.3 Shipping. All shipments are FCA (Incoterms 2000) Supplier's relevant
facility. Supplier may ship partial orders provided Supplier notifies Customer
prior to shipment. Customer shall specify the carrier or means of transportation
or routing on the Purchase Order. In the event that Customer fails to specify
shipping instructions on the Purchase Order, Supplier shall select the best
available carrier on a commercially reasonable basis.

8.4 Packaging. Supplier shall package and label all Product in accordance with
Supplier's then current packaging practices and suitable for shipment under
normal circumstances without damage and in accordance with applicable law.

8.5 Title. Title to Product shall pass to Customer upon Supplier's tender of the
relevant Product to the shipping carrier at Supplier's facility.

9.0 WARRANTIES

9.1 Product Warranty. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary other than
Sections 10.2 and 10.3, Supplier's sole and exclusive obligation to the Customer
for any Product made by Supplier and sold hereunder is to repair returned
Product or provide a replacement Product, at Supplier's sole option, for any
Product which has been returned to Supplier under the RMA procedure set forth in
Section 9.2 and which is defective in workmanship, material or not in compliance

do so by the


                                       6

relevant third party. Any Product repaired or replaced under warranty is only
warranted for the period of time remaining in the original warranty for the
Product. The warranty excludes and does not cover any Product or parts thereof
which has been accidentally damaged, disassembled, modified, misused, damaged in
transit, used in applications which exceed the Product specifications or
ratings, neglected, improperly installed or otherwise abused or is used in
hazardous activities, or which fails as a result of Customer software or
interfacing; improper installation, site preparation or maintenance; or
Customer's failure to use the Product in accordance with the information and
precautions contained in the applicable Product manual provided by Supplier.
Customer must claim under the warranty in writing not later than thirty (30)
calendar days after the claimed defect is discovered. The Customer must make all
claims under this warranty and no claim shall be accepted from any third party.

9.2 Return Material Authorization. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Supplier's then current RMA procedure shall apply to Supplier's
repair or replacement of both in-warranty and out-of-warranty Products. Supplier
shall only accept returns of Product for which an approved RMA number has been
issued by Supplier and which are accompanied by an itemized statement of
defects. Such Products shall be returned prepaid and insured to Supplier at the
address stipulated by Supplier. All Products which have been returned to
Supplier with an RMA number, but to which the warranty in Section 9.1 does not
apply, shall be subject to Supplier's standard examination charge in effect at
the time, which shall be invoiced by Supplier and paid by Customer in accordance
with this Agreement. All Products returned to Supplier without an RMA number or
which are not accompanied by an itemized statement of defects, may be returned
to Customer, at Customer's expense, and Supplier shall have no obligation to
evaluate such Products.

REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN.

10.0 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND INDEMNITIES

10.1 Intellectual Property Rights. Unless otherwise provided for in this
Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a sale, transfer or
assignment of the intellectual property rights, including without limitation any
patent, copyright, trade secrets, trademarks or tradenames, of Supplier
whatsoever, including without limitation with respect to the Products,
Specifications or related information and documentation. All right, title and
interest in and to any inventions, discoveries, improvements, methods, ideas,
computer and other apparatus programs and related documentation, other works of
authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, mask works, or other
forms of intellectual property, whether or not subject to statutory protection,
which are made, created, developed, written, conceived or first reduced to
practice by Supplier solely, jointly or on its behalf, in the course of, arising
out of, or as a result of work performed hereunder, and any related tooling,
set-up, fitting-up and preparation, shall belong to and be the sole and
exclusive property of Supplier.

10.2 Intellectual Property Indemnity. Supplier agrees to defend or settle, at
its sole option, and shall reimburse Customer for all costs and damages assessed
by final judgement against Customer, and any reasonable expenses (including
legal expenses), incurred at the written request of Supplier directly resulting
from any claim alleging that any Products or the use, operation, sale or offer
for sale thereof, infringe upon, misappropriate or violate any third party's
intellectual property rights (including without limitation patents or
copyrights) in member countries of the EU, countries in North America, Norway,
Switzerland, Japan, New Zealand, China and Australia. Customer shall have no
authority to settle any claim on behalf of Supplier.

In the event of such a claim of infringement of third party, Supplier shall have
the right to discontinue further deliveries of the Product and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts, at its expense, to: (a) obtain necessary rights
required to permit the sale


                                       8

<PAGE>

or use of the Products by Customer and its customers; or (b) modify or replace
such Products to make them non-infringing (and extend this indemnity thereto),
provided that any such replacement or modified Products comply with the
applicable Specifications. For the protection of Supplier and Customer, at the
request and expense of Supplier, Customer agrees to exercise, and to the extent
permitted sub-license Supplier, its have-made rights under any intellectual
property license agreements it has with third parties, to the extent it has the
right to do so. In the event Supplier is unable to achieve either of the options
set forth above within a reasonable period of time or, in the reasonable opinion
of Supplier, Supplier is unlikely to achieve such options within a reasonable
period of time, Supplier shall have the right to immediately terminate
Supplier's obligations to Customer under this Agreement with respect to the
particular Product and promptly refund to Customer the invoiced purchase price.

Supplier's obligations specified in this Section shall be conditional on and
subject to Customer notifying Supplier promptly in writing of the claim and
giving Supplier full authority, information and assistance for the defense and
settlement thereof. Supplier shall have no liability for, and Customer shall
indemnify Supplier against, any claim based upon: (a) the combination,
operation, or use of any Product supplied hereunder with equipment, devices, or
software not supplied by Supplier; (b) alteration or modification of any Product
supplied hereunder; or (c) Supplier's compliance with Customer's designs,
specifications or instructions or (d) infringement of an application patent.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Supplier shall not be liable for
any claim based on Customer's use of the Products as shipped after Supplier has
informed Customer of modifications or changes in the Products required to avoid
such claims and offered to implement those modifications or changes, if such
claim would have been avoided by implementation of Supplier's suggestions.

10.3 Personal Injury and Property Damage Indemnity. Supplier shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Customer and its employees, officers, directors and
agents, from and against any third party claims, demands, loss, damage or
expense relating to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to real
and/or tangible personal property to the extent directly caused by a Product and
directly resulting from a breach of the warranty contained in Section 9.1 or the
negligence or willful misconduct of Supplier. Supplier shall have no indemnity
obligation hereunder for claims resulting from Product misuse, neglect, failure
to follow normal Product safety procedures and recommended precautions in the
Product manual or negligence of the operator.

11.0 PRODUCT CHANGES AND DISCONTINUATION

11.1 Customer Changes. In the event Customer desires an engineering or
Specification change for any of the Products, Customer may submit such proposed
engineering or Specification change to Supplier. Supplier and Customer acting
reasonably and in good faith shall negotiate whether such change shall be made
and if so, shall work with each other on the implementation of such change.
Customer acknowledges that such changes may result in additional non-recurring
engineering charges for Customer and may alter the price of the Products, in
which case, this Agreement shall be amended, in writing, to reflect same.

11.2 Supplier Permitted Changes. Supplier may at any time make any changes,
improvements, additions or enhancements to the Products


                                       9

<PAGE>

that do not materially affect the form, fit or function of a Product ("Permitted
Change") without notice to, or the consent of, Customer. Permitted changes shall
be made at no additional charge to Customer.

11.3 Supplier Material Changes. In the event that Supplier at any time makes any
changes, improvements, additions or enhancements to the Products that materially
affect the form, fit or function of a Product ("Material Change"), Supplier
shall provide ninety (90) calendar days prior written notice to Customer of such
Material Change, outlining the nature of the Material Change and any applicable
non-recurring costs or impact on Delivery Dates or Product pricing. Customer
shall approve or reject a Material Change within fifteen (15) calendar days from
receipt of Supplier's notice, failing which the Material Change shall be deemed
accepted by Customer. In the event of acceptance of any such Material Change,
this Agreement shall be amended, in writing, to reflect any applicable
non-recurring engineering costs or impact on Delivery Dates or Product pricing.

11.4 Rejection of Material Changes. In the event Customer rejects any Material
Change, Supplier shall continue to supply unchanged Product in accordance with
Section 11.7, in which case the date of Customer's rejection of such Material
Change shall be deemed the date on which (i) a Supplier notice of
discontinuation for the relevant Product shall be deemed to be provided to
Customer and (ii) the Discontinuance Period (as defined in Section 11.7 below)
shall be deemed to commence.

11.5 Required Changes. Notwithstanding any other term or condition in this
Section 11.0, in the event that any changes, improvements, additions or
enhancements of a Product, including Material Changes, are required by any law
or governmental regulation or requirement or interpretation thereof by any
governmental agency having jurisdiction or is required, in the discretion of
Supplier acting reasonably and in good faith, to address Product safety,
liability or performance ("Required Change"), Supplier shall provide sixty (60)
calendar days prior written notice (or such shorter period of notice as may be
reasonable in the circumstances) to Customer of such Required Change, outlining
the nature of the Required Change and any applicable non-recurring costs or
impact on Delivery Dates or Product pricing. Customer shall approve or reject a
Required Change within five (5) calendar days from receipt of Supplier's notice,
failing which the Required Change shall be deemed accepted by Customer. In the
event of acceptance of any such Required Change, this Agreement shall be
amended, in writing, to reflect any applicable non-recurring engineering costs
or impact on Delivery Dates or Product pricing. In no event shall Supplier be
required to manufacture, supply or sell a Product to which a Required Change is
applicable.

11.6 Rejection of Required Changes. In the event Customer rejects any Required
Change referred to in Section 11.5, this Agreement shall be terminated with
respect to the applicable Product and amended, in writing, to delete such
Product from Exhibit A. Thereafter, Supplier shall have no further obligation to
supply or sell such Product to Customer and Customer shall have no further
obligation to take delivery of or purchase such Product.

11.7 Product Discontinuation. In the event Supplier intends to discontinue the
manufacture and sale of any Product, Supplier shall give at least six (6) months
prior written notice to Customer. At any time during such six (6) month period
(the "Discontinuance Period"), Customer may place a last time Purchase Order for
Product, provided the requested delivery dates are in compliance with the


                                       10

<PAGE>

applicable Product Lead-Time and the last requested delivery date for such
Product is not more than six (6) months after the end of such Discontinuance
Period.

          breach or default has not been remedied within forty-five (45)
          calendar days (or fifteen (15) calendar days, in the case of

          not in default, specifying the breach or default; or

     (b)  Other party shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a
          receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a

Supplier pursuant to Section 12.1, Customer shall compensate Supplier for any
losses or damage resulting from such termination, including without limitation,
the price of Products shipped, manufactured, or held separately for Customer and
any incurred costs (including without limitation with respect of work in process
and raw materials), and a reasonable allocation of general and administrative
expenses relating to the Products. Notwithstanding any other term or condition
of this Agreement, the foregoing amounts shall be due and payable by Customer
immediately upon receipt of the applicable Supplier invoice.

13.0 DELAYS IN PERFORMANCE

13.1 Excusable Delay. In the event of a delay on the part of Supplier in the
performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement due directly or indirectly to unforeseen
circumstances or a cause which is beyond the reasonable control or without the
fault or


                                       11

<PAGE>

negligence of Supplier (an "Excusable Delay"), Supplier shall not be liable for,
nor be deemed to be in default under or breach of this Agreement on account of
such delay and the time fixed or required for the performance of any such
obligation or responsibility shall be extended for a period equal to the period
during which any such delay persists. Excusable Delay shall be deemed to
include, without limitation, delays occasioned by the following causes:

     (a)  force majeure or acts of God;

     (b)  war, warlike operations, act of the enemy, armed aggression, civil
          commotion, insurrection, riot or embargo;

     (h)  any default in or breach of this Agreement by Customer or any delay of
          Customer in the performance of its obligations or responsibilities
          under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

13.2 Indefinite Delay and Termination. If Supplier reasonably concludes, based
on its reasonable appraisal of the facts and normal scheduling procedures, that
due to an Excusable Delay delivery of any Product will be delayed for more than
six (6) months after the applicable Delivery Date or any revised date agreed to
by the parties, in writing, Supplier shall promptly notify Customer, in writing,
and either party may then terminate this Agreement, including any Purchase
Orders, with respect to the affected Product by giving written notice to the
other party within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Customer of
Supplier's notice.

If, due to an Excusable Delay, delivery of any Product is delayed for more than
six (6) months after the applicable Delivery Date, either party may terminate
this Agreement, including any Purchase Orders, with respect to the affected
Product by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) calendar days
after the expiration of such six (6) month period.

14.1 Product Specific Terms and Conditions. The Products governed by this
Agreement may be supplied by various Supplier companies and divisions located in
several different jurisdictions. From time to time the supply of an individual
Product may require terms and conditions specific to such Product which terms
and conditions shall be set forth in Exhibit A for the relevant Product.

14.2 Audits. To the extent Supplier's records may be relevant in determining
whether Supplier is complying with its commitments under Section 3.1 and 3.2
(Commitments) and Section 6.2 (Price Structure), Customer shall have the right
during the Term, through independent external certified professional accountants
acceptable to both Supplier and Customer, to examine and inspect such records as
may contain information bearing solely on whether Supplier is in compliance
therewith, subject to the other terms of this Section 14.2. Such an audit shall
take place under a reasonable confidentiality agreement, on reasonable notice to
Supplier and during normal Supplier business hours. The auditor shall disclose
to Customer only whether it found a discrepancy, and, if so, the amount/extent
of that discrepancy. The auditor shall deliver a copy of any report to Supplier
within ten (10) days of disclosure to Customer, and Supplier shall have an
opportunity to rebut any discrepancy in any audit report. Customer may exercise
its audit right not more than once per year. Solely with respect to compliance
of Customer during the Renewal Term, the audit rights shall terminate following
the date that Customer becomes a publicly traded company in the U.S.A. or is
acquired by a publicly traded company in the U.S.A., provided that Customer, in
lieu of the audit, shall deliver to Supplier a compliance statement, signed by a
then current officer of Customer, certifying compliance by Customer with its
obligations under Sections 3.1, Section 3.2 and 6.2(ii) hereof. All audits under

directly or indirectly, separately or as part of any system, the Products or any
technical data (including processes and services) received from Supplier,

including without limitation, the United States Government and/or any other
applicable competent authority. Customer also certifies that none of the
products or technical data supplied by Supplier under this Agreement shall be
sold or otherwise transferred to, or made available for use by or for, any
entity that is engaged in the design, development, production or use of nuclear,
biological or chemical weapons or missile technology. Customer shall indemnify

solution satisfactory to both parties.

14.7 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the other terms or provisions hereof or
the whole of this Agreement, but such term or provision shall be deemed modified
to the extent necessary in the court's opinion to render such term or provision
enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the
intent and agreements of the parties herein set forth.

conditions of the Non-Disclosure Agreement between the parties, executed on June

in connection with this Agreement. This Section, and the terms and conditions of
the Non-Disclosure Agreement, shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.

all wages, salaries, and other amounts due its respective employees relative to
this Agreement and shall be responsible for all obligations respecting them
relating to income tax withholdings, unemployment insurance premiums, workers'
compensation, health care and pension plan contributions and other similar
responsibilities. Neither party has the right nor authority to assume or to

duties under Section 1.0 (Interpretation), Section 6.1 and 6.2 (Prices for
Products and Taxes), Section 7.0 (Invoicing and Payment), Section 9.0

provided however that Supplier may delegate performance to any Supplier selected
independent contractor, provided that prior to any such assignment, such
independent contractor shall become qualified by Customer using the same
criteria as Customer used in qualifying Supplier for the same Product being
assigned (it being understood that in either case Supplier shall not be relieved

conditions on any Purchase Orders and all provisions on Supplier's documents
delivered in response to a Purchase Order shall be deemed deleted and superceded

identifier, quantity, pricing, shipping dates, shipping instructions and
delivery location.

14.13 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be
binding unless executed in writing by both parties. No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision
(whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver
unless otherwise expressly provided.

14.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, including by facsimile, with the same effect as if Supplier and
Customer had each signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed
together and shall constitute one and the same original Agreement.

                              JDSU SUPPLY AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER JDSU SUPPLY AGREEMENT is made effective as June 30, 2003 ("Effective
Date") between JDS Uniphase Corporation, having offices at 1768 Automation
Parkway, San Jose, CA 95131, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries
(collectively, "Supplier") and IPG Photonics Corporation, on behalf of itself
and its subsidiaries, having offices at 50 Old Webster Road, Oxford, MA 01540
("Customer").

WHEREAS Supplier is a manufacturer and supplier of laser diodes and packaged
laser diodes;

AND WHEREAS Customer desires from time to time to order, purchase and take
delivery of laser diodes and packaged laser diodes from Supplier;

AND WHEREAS Supplier desires to sell and deliver to Customer laser diodes and
packaged laser diodes;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and
for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, Supplier and Customer agree as follows:

1.0 INTERPRETATION

1.1 Definitions. In this Agreement, the below terms shall have the following
respective meanings:

(a) "Delivery Date" means the delivery date, as determined in accordance with
this Agreement, for the Product to arrive at Customer's delivery location set
forth the applicable Purchase Order (as later defined).

(b) "Effective Date" shall have the meaning set forth in the first paragraph of
this Agreement.

(c) "Products" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 5.1 and also means
any laser diodes, packaged laser diodes as set forth and described in Exhibit A,
as may be amended from time to time by the agreement of Supplier and Customer,
in writing.

(d) "Purchase Order" means a purchase order issued to Supplier by Customer, in
written or electronic form, for the purchase of Products pursuant to this
Agreement, which states inter alia the Product, agreed upon unit price, unit
quantities per Product, requested delivery dates and Customer delivery location.

(e) "Rolling Forecast" means a rolling six (6) month non-binding written
forecast of Customer's anticipated requirements for each Product.

(f) "Specifications" means the specifications for the Products described in
Exhibit A, as may be amended from time to time by the agreement of Supplier and
Customer, in writing.

(g) "Taxes" means any and all taxes and other charges (exclusive of taxes on the

<PAGE>

levied or based on this Agreement or the Products delivered hereunder, including
without limitation all federal (Canadian or U.S.), provincial, state and local
sales, use and excise taxes, customs and duties, licenses, fees, tariffs and
other similar expenses, whether now or subsequently in effect.

(h) "Term" has the meaning set forth in Section 2.0.

1.2 Headings. The division of this Agreement into Sections, Subsections and
Exhibits and the insertion of headings are for ease of reference only and shall
not affect its construction or interpretation.

2.0 TERM

This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall, unless
otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or extended by the mutual agreement of the parties, remain in full
force and effect for a period of five (5) years (the "Term").

3.0 CUSTOMER COMMITMENTS

3.1 Purchase Commitment. Except to the extent Customer is required to purchase
laser diodes and packaged laser diodes under this Section 3.1, Section 5.6
(Cancellation and Cancellation Costs), Section 5.7 (Rescheduling) or for
termination costs pursuant to Section 12.2 (Termination Costs), there is no
commitment by Customer to purchase Products from Supplier. During each year of
the first three (3) years of the Term, Customer agrees to issue Purchase Orders
for, take delivery of, and pay for no less than seventy percent (70%) of its
external requirements of any laser diodes and packaged laser diodes. During each
year of the fourth and fifth years of the Term, Customer agrees to issue
Purchase Orders for, take delivery of, and pay for no less than thirty-five
percent (35%) of its external requirements of any laser diodes and packaged
laser diodes. Compliance with this commitment shall be measured as a percentage
of Customer's total external purchases of laser diodes plus packaged laser
diodes on an annual basis as of each anniversary of the Effective Date and shall
exclude laser diodes and packaged laser diodes of the type that Supplier does
not sell on the merchant market. For greater certainty and the avoidance of
doubt, the term "external requirements" shall not include laser diodes and
packaged laser diodes manufactured or assembled by Customer. To the extent that:

     (i) Supplier's prices for laser diodes and/or packaged laser diodes are ten
     percent (10%) or more greater than the prices of substantially the same
     products, which have been qualified by Customer and which meet the minimum
     specifications of Customer, offered by another supplier having the ability
     to supply such products in the quantities and timeframes required by
     Customer and Customer purchases such products from such other supplier; or

     (ii) Supplier is not able to supply laser diodes and/or packaged laser
     diodes (a) that meet the minimum specifications of Customer; or (b) that
     are qualified by Customer; or (c) in the quantities and timeframes required
     by Customer (in each case as required by Customer of its other suppliers)
     and Customer purchases such products from such other supplier,

such products purchased from another supplier in accordance with the above shall
be deemed to have been purchased from Supplier solely


                                       2

<PAGE>

for the purpose of determining Customer's compliance with the foregoing
commitments.

3.2 Design In Commitment. On or before sixty (60) calendar days immediately
following the Effective Date, Customer shall meet with Supplier to discuss
Customer's external requirements of laser diodes and packaged laser diodes. For
this meeting, Customer shall provide Supplier with specifications to the extent
Customer has external requirements. Customer and Supplier shall enter into good
faith discussions and cooperate to determine whether and how to implement
Supplier laser diodes and packaged laser diodes into Customer's products. These
discussions and cooperation are intended to result in Customer's satisfaction of
its commitments in Section 3.1. Supplier shall respond to Customer's requests
for proposals and quotation on Customer specifications in a reasonably prompt
manner, but no longer than the response time for other customers purchasing
similar quantities.

3.3 Business Reviews. In addition to the meetings provided for in Section 3.2,
the parties (business and technical personnel, as appropriate) shall meet at
least once per calendar year during the Term to conduct good faith discussions
and cooperate to determine whether and how to continue or further implement
Supplier laser diodes and packaged laser diodes into Customer's products,
subject to Section 3.1. At least thirty (30) calendar days prior to each such
annual business review, Customer shall provide Supplier with its specifications
for its external requirements of laser diodes and packaged laser diodes to the
extent previously provided specifications have changed or new specifications
have been created or are being created. In addition to the annual meetings,
technical personnel from the parties shall confer by telephone or video
conference at least once per calendar quarter ("QBR") during the Term for the
same purposes as the annual meetings. These discussions and cooperation are
intended to result in Customer's satisfaction of its commitments in Section 3.1.
Any other issues or opportunities relating to the parties' relationship shall
also be discussed at QBRs.

Customer agrees to provide external requirement specifications to JDSU's Active
Components Business Unit ("ACBU") under the NDA referenced in Section 14.8 and
consult ACBU to determine whether and how to implement JDSU products in IPG
systems. The goal shall be for both parties to be cooperative and work in good
faith to implement JDSU solutions in IPG systems. If requested, IPG shall meet
in person with JDSU to discuss implementing the JDSU solutions in IPG systems.

4.0 FORECASTS

During the first seven (7) calendar days of each month during the Term, Customer
shall provide Supplier a Rolling Forecast. A Rolling Forecast is an estimate of
projected Product requirements based on the information then available to
Customer and is not a commitment by Customer to purchase Product nor a
commitment of Supplier to manufacture, deliver or sell Product. Supplier shall
use Rolling Forecasts for internal material planning requirements.

PRODUCTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS

5.1 Products. Any laser diode or packaged laser diode ordered by, taken delivery
of or paid for by Customer from Supplier shall be a "Product" hereunder. The
parties shall seek to complete and update Exhibit A from time to time in respect
of each Products and Exhibit A shall contain or reference the Specifications for
each Product.


                                       3

<PAGE>

5.2 Issuance. Customer shall from time to time issue Purchase Orders to Supplier
to meet its commitments pursuant to Section 3.1.

5.3 Acknowledgement. As soon as reasonably possible (and in no event later than
three (3) business days) immediately following the receipt of each Purchase
Order, Supplier shall acknowledge receipt of such Purchase Order.

5.4 Acceptance and Delivery Dates. As soon as reasonably possible (and in no
event later than five (5) business days) immediately following the receipt of
each Purchase Order, Supplier shall accept any Purchase Order having delivery
dates consistent the applicable lead-time for such Product as set forth in
Exhibit A or, in the case of Exhibit A not being complete, as from time to time
provided by Supplier to Customer (collectively, "Lead-Time") and the delivery
dates set forth in such Purchase Order acceptance shall be deemed the Delivery
Dates for such Products.

To the extent that the delivery dates set forth in a Purchase Order are not
consistent with the applicable Lead-Time, Supplier shall accept such Purchase
Order and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide delivery dates for
Products ordered thereunder. To the extent that Supplier does not provide
delivery dates, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
Customer with delivery dates as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. In
either case, the delivery dates provided by Supplier shall be deemed the
Delivery Dates for such Products, unless Customer rejects same by written notice
thereof on or before five (5) business days immediately following Supplier's
provision of such Delivery Dates, in which case the parties shall acting
reasonably and in good faith promptly negotiate mutually acceptable Delivery
Dates. Thereafter, and to the extent that Supplier and Customer do not agree
upon mutually acceptable Delivery Dates, either party may, by providing written
notice to the other party, forthwith terminate the applicable Purchase Order
with respect to Product for which there is no Delivery Date.

5.5 Changes. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Customer shall
not cancel or terminate, reschedule or delay a Purchase Order, or applicable
Delivery Dates thereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written
consent of Supplier.

5.6 Cancellation and Cancellation Costs. Subject to compensating Supplier in
accordance with this Section, Customer may cancel a Purchase Order, in whole or
part and without cost or penalty, by providing notice to Supplier prior to the
applicable Delivery Date. In the event that Customer provides Supplier with a
notice of cancellation four (4) weeks or less prior to the applicable Delivery
Date, Customer may not cancel and Customer must take and pay for all Product
delivered on or before the Delivery Date or within two (2) weeks thereafter. In
the event that Customer provides Supplier with a notice of cancellation more
than four (4) weeks (but less than the then current Lead-Time for the applicable
Product) prior to the applicable Delivery Date, Customer shall pay or reimburse
Supplier for the reasonable out of pocket or direct costs incurred by Supplier
relating to such canceled Product at the time of cancellation, including without
limitation with respect to work in process and raw materials, to the extent that
Supplier cannot (using reasonable efforts) mitigate such costs within forty-five
(45) calendar days of such cancellation. This shall be Supplier's sole and
exclusive remedy and Customer's sole and exclusive


                                       4

<PAGE>

liability/obligation to Supplier for any cancellation hereunder by Customer.

5.7 Rescheduling. Provided Customer provides Supplier with at least fifteen (15)
calendar days notice in advance of a Delivery Date for a Product, Customer may
re-schedule such Delivery Date, at no cost or penalty and on a one time basis
only, up to a maximum of sixty (60) calendar days. Thereafter, Customer shall
take delivery of and pay for the Product in accordance with this Agreement.

6. PRICES FOR PRODUCTS

6.1 Prices for Products. Customer shall pay the applicable price for each
Product as set forth in U.S. dollars in Exhibit A (or if not set forth in
Exhibit A, as otherwise agreed by the parties) and as may be amended from time
to time by Supplier and Customer in accordance with this Agreement. All prices
are FCA (Incoterms 2000) Supplier's relevant facility, exclusive of Taxes,
transportation, insurance and brokerage fees.

6.2 Taxes. Except to the extent that applicable exemptions are available,
obtained and documented for Supplier, Customer shall pay all Taxes and shall
promptly reimburse Supplier for any Taxes which Supplier pays directly to any
taxing authority. Supplier's invoices to Customer are payable in full without
deduction for any Taxes, including without limitation withholding taxes.

7.0 INVOICING AND PAYMENT

Supplier may issue an invoice as soon as the time of Product shipment from
Supplier's relevant facility, and Customer shall pay such invoice within thirty
(30) calendar days thereof. To the extent that a proposed shipment to Customer
exceeds the credit limits set by Supplier for Customer in accordance with its
ordinary business practice, Supplier reserves the right to require alternative
payment terms including, without limitation, letter of credit or payment in
advance. If at any time Customer is delinquent in the payment of any invoice or
is otherwise in breach of this Agreement, Supplier may, at its discretion, stop
performance of services or withhold shipment (including partial shipments) of
any order and may, at its option, require Customer to pre-pay for further
performance or shipments. If Customer cannot comply with the alternative payment
terms imposed by Supplier under the two immediately preceding sentences after
using commercially reasonable business efforts to comply with the alternative
payment terms requested, Customer's purchases of laser diodes or packaged laser
diodes from another supplier shall be deemed to have been purchased from
Supplier solely for purposes of determining Customer's requirements with Section
3.1. Customer shall, however, prior to purchasing from such other supplier
provide JDSU with an opportunity to promptly match the payment terms of such
other supplier in order to maintain the benefits of Section 3.1. All payments
not received when due shall be subject to an additional interest charge at an
annual rate of 10% (.83% per month), or such lower interest rate as may be
otherwise permitted at law, of the unpaid amount until the date of payment,
without prejudice to any other rights, remedies or recourses which Supplier may
have under this Agreement, at law or in equity. The right of Supplier to any
payment provided for under this Agreement shall not be subject to any abatement,
reduction, set off, defense, counterclaim or recoupment of any amount due or
alleged to be due by reason of any past, present or future claims of Customer.

8.1 Delivery Date. Except as provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
mutually agreed upon by the parties, in writing, Supplier shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to ship Products on the applicable Delivery Date.

8.2 Delay in Shipment. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
notify Customer in a timely manner of any delay in Delivery Dates, stating the
reasons for the delay. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize delays in Delivery Dates and, upon occurrence of any such delay, shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy same in a timely manner.

8.3 Shipping. All shipments are FCA (Incoterms 2000) Supplier's relevant
facility. Supplier may ship partial orders provided Supplier notifies Customer
prior to shipment. Customer shall specify the carrier or means of transportation
or routing on the Purchase Order. In the event that Customer fails to specify
shipping instructions on the Purchase Order, Supplier shall select the best
available carrier on a commercially reasonable basis.

8.4 Packaging. Supplier shall package and label all Product in accordance with
Supplier's then current packaging practices and suitable for shipment under
normal circumstances without damage, and in accordance with applicable law.

8.5 Title. Title to Product shall pass to Customer upon Supplier's tender of the
relevant Product to the shipping carrier at Supplier's facility.

9.0 WARRANTIES

9.1 Product Warranty. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary other than
Sections 10.2 and 10.3, Supplier's sole and exclusive obligation to the Customer
for any Product made by Supplier and sold hereunder is to repair returned
Product or provide a replacement Product, at Supplier's sole option, for any
Product which has been returned to Supplier under the RMA procedure set forth in
Section 9.2 and which is defective in workmanship, material or not in compliance
with the applicable Specifications and has in fact failed under normal use on or
before twelve (12) months from the date of original shipment of the Product. In
the event that during the Term Supplier's standard terms and conditions of sale
are amended to provide for a warranty period in excess of twelve (12) months,
such longer warranty period shall apply to Products ordered, taken delivery of
and paid for by Customer after the effective date of such change. All Product,
which are experimental Products, prototypes or Products used in field trials,
are not warranted and are provided to Customer on an "as is" basis. All Product
or parts thereof supplied by third parties and sold by Supplier carry only the
original manufacturer's warranty to the extent applicable to Customer. Supplier
shall only accept for repair, replacement or credit under warranty Products made
by third parties, if expressly authorized to do so by the relevant third party.
Any Product repaired or replaced under warranty is only warranted for the period
of time remaining in the original warranty for the Product. The warranty
excludes and does not cover any Product or parts thereof which has been
accidentally damaged, disassembled, modified, misused, damaged in transit, used
in applications which exceed the Product specifications or ratings, neglected,
improperly installed or otherwise abused or is used in hazardous activities or
which fails as a result of Customer software or interfacing, improper site
preparation or maintenance or Customer's failure to use the Product in
accordance with the information and precautions contained in the applicable
Product manual provided by Supplier. Customer must claim


                                       6

<PAGE>

under the warranty in writing not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the
claimed defect is discovered. The Customer must make all claims under this
warranty and no claim shall be accepted from any third party.

9.2 Return Material Authorization. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Supplier's then current RMA procedure shall apply to Supplier's
repair or replacement of both in-warranty and out-of-warranty Products. Supplier
shall only accept returns of Product for which an approved RMA number has been
issued by Supplier and which are accompanied by an itemized statement of
defects. Such Products shall be returned prepaid and insured to Supplier at the
address stipulated by Supplier. All Products which have been returned to
Supplier with an RMA number, but to which the warranty in Section 9.1 does not
apply, shall be subject to Supplier's standard examination charge in effect at
the time, which shall be invoiced by Supplier and paid by Customer in accordance
with this Agreement. All Products returned to Supplier without an RMA number or
which are not accompanied by an itemized statement of defects, may be returned
to Customer, at Customer's expense, and Supplier shall have no obligation to
evaluate such Products.

9.3 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. SUBJECT TO SECTIONS 10.2 AND 10.3, THE WARRANTY
SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.1 AND THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF SUPPLIER

10.0 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND INDEMNITIES

10.1 Intellectual Property Rights. Unless otherwise provided for in this
Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a sale, transfer or
assignment of the intellectual property rights, including without limitation any
patent, copyright, trade secrets, trademarks or tradenames, of Supplier
whatsoever, including without limitation with respect to the Products,
Specifications or related information and documentation. All right, title and
interest in and to any inventions, discoveries, improvements, methods, ideas,
computer and other apparatus programs and related documentation, other works of
authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, mask works, or other
forms of intellectual property, whether or not subject to statutory protection,
which are made, created, developed, written, conceived or first reduced to
practice by Supplier solely, jointly or on its behalf, in the course of, arising
out of, or as a result of work performed hereunder, and any related tooling,
set-up, fitting-up and preparation, shall belong to and be the sole and
exclusive property of Supplier.

10.2 Intellectual Property Indemnity. Supplier agrees to defend or settle, at
its sole option, and shall reimburse Customer for all costs and damages assessed
by final judgment against Customer, and any reasonable expenses (including legal
expenses), incurred at the written request of Supplier directly resulting from
any claim alleging that any Products or the use, operation, sale or offer for
sale thereof, infringe upon, misappropriate or violate any third party's
intellectual property rights (including without limitation patents or
copyrights) in member countries of the EU, countries in North America, Norway,
Switzerland, Japan, New Zealand, China and Australia. Customer shall have no
authority to settle any claim on behalf of Supplier.

In the event of such a claim of infringement of third party, Supplier shall have
the right to discontinue further deliveries of the Product and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts, at its expense, to: (a) obtain necessary rights
required to permit the sale or use of the Products by Customer and its
customers; or (b) modify or replace such Products to make them non-infringing
(and extend this indemnity thereto), provided that any such replacement or
modified Products comply with the applicable Specifications. For the protection
of Supplier and Customer, at the request and expense of Supplier, Customer
agrees to exercise, and to the extent permitted sub-license Supplier, its
have-made rights under any intellectual property license agreements it has with
third parties, to the extent it has the right to do so. In the event Supplier is
unable to achieve either of the options set forth above within a reasonable
period of time or, in the reasonable opinion of Supplier,


                                       8

<PAGE>

Supplier is unlikely to achieve such options within a reasonable period of time,
Supplier shall have the right to immediately terminate Supplier's obligations to
Customer under this Agreement with respect to the particular Product and
promptly refund to Customer the invoiced purchase price.

Supplier's obligations specified in this Section shall be conditional on and
subject to Customer notifying Supplier promptly in writing of the claim and
giving Supplier full authority, information and assistance for the defense and
settlement thereof. Supplier shall have no liability for, and Customer shall
indemnify Supplier against, any claim based upon: (a) the combination,
operation, or use of any Product supplied hereunder with equipment, devices, or
software not supplied by Supplier; (b) alteration or modification of any Product
supplied hereunder; or (c) Supplier's compliance with Customer's designs,
specifications or instructions or (d) infringement of an application patent.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Supplier shall not be liable for
any claim based on Customer's use of the Products as shipped after Supplier has
informed Customer of modifications or changes in the Products required to avoid
such claims and offered to implement those modifications or changes, if such
claim would have been avoided by implementation of Supplier's suggestions.

10.3 Personal Injury and Property Damage Indemnity. Supplier shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Customer and its employees, officers, directors and
agents, from and against any third party claims, demands, loss, damage or
expense relating to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to real
and/or tangible personal property to the extent directly caused by a Product and
directly resulting from a breach of the warranty contained in Section 9.1 or the
negligence or willful misconduct of Supplier. Supplier shall have no indemnity
obligation hereunder for claims resulting from Product misuse, neglect, failure
to follow normal Product safety procedures and recommended precautions in the
Product manual or negligence of the operator.

11.0 PRODUCT CHANGES AND DISCONTINUATION

11.1 Customer Changes. In the event Customer desires an engineering or
Specification change for any of the Products, Customer may submit such proposed
engineering or Specification change to Supplier. Supplier and Customer acting
reasonably and in good faith shall negotiate whether such change shall be made
and if so, shall work with each other on the implementation of such change.
Customer acknowledges that such changes may result in additional non-recurring
engineering charges for Customer and may alter the price of the Products, in
which case, this Agreement shall be amended, in writing, to reflect same.

11.2 Supplier Permitted Changes. Supplier may at any time make any changes,
improvements, additions or enhancements to the Products that do not materially
affect the form, fit or function of a Product ("Permitted Change") without
notice to, or the consent of, Customer. Permitted changes shall be made at no
additional charge to Customer.

11.3 Supplier Material Changes. In the event that Supplier at any time makes any
changes, improvements, additions or enhancements to the Products that materially
affect the form, fit or function of a Product ("Material Change"), Supplier
shall provide ninety (90) calendar days prior written notice to Customer of such
Material Change, outlining the nature of the Material Change and any applicable
non-recurring costs or impact on Delivery Dates or

Product pricing. Customer shall approve or reject a Material Change within
fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of Supplier's notice, failing which the
Material Change shall be deemed accepted by Customer. In the event of acceptance
of any such Material Change, this Agreement shall be amended, in writing, to
reflect any applicable non-recurring engineering costs or impact on Delivery
Dates or Product pricing.

11.4 Rejection of Material Changes. In the event Customer rejects any Material
Change, Supplier shall continue to supply unchanged Product in accordance with
Section 11.7, in which case the date of Customer's rejection of such Material
Change shall be deemed the date on which (i) a Supplier notice of
discontinuation for the relevant Product shall be deemed to be provided to
Customer and (ii) the Discontinuance Period (as defined in Section 11.7 below)
shall be deemed to commence.

11.5 Required Changes. Notwithstanding any other term or condition in this
Section 11.0, in the event that any changes, improvements, additions or
enhancements of a Product, including Material Changes, are required by any law
or governmental regulation or requirement or interpretation thereof by any
governmental agency having jurisdiction or is required, in the discretion of
Supplier acting reasonably and in good faith, to address Product safety,
liability or performance ("Required Change"), Supplier shall provide sixty (60)
calendar days prior written notice (or such shorter period of notice as may be
reasonable in the circumstances) to Customer of such Required Change, outlining
the nature of the Required Change and any applicable non-recurring costs or
impact on Delivery Dates or Product pricing. Customer shall approve or reject a
Required Change within five (5) calendar days from receipt of Supplier's notice,
failing which the Required Change shall be deemed accepted by Customer. In the
event of acceptance of any such Required Change, this Agreement shall be
amended, in writing, to reflect any applicable non-recurring engineering costs
or impact on Delivery Dates or Product pricing. In no event shall Supplier be
required to manufacture, supply or sell a Product to which a Required Change is
applicable.

11.6 Rejection of Required Changes. In the event Customer rejects any Required
Change referred to in Section 11.5, this Agreement shall be terminated with
respect to the applicable Product and amended, in writing, to delete such
Product from Exhibit A. Thereafter, Supplier shall have no further obligation to
supply or sell such Product to Customer and Customer shall have no further
obligation to take delivery of or purchase such Product.

11.7 Product Discontinuation. In the event Supplier intends to discontinue the
manufacture and sale of any Product, Supplier shall give at least six (6) months
prior written notice to Customer. At any time during such six (6) month period
(the "Discontinuance Period"), Customer may place a last time Purchase Order for
Product, provided the requested delivery dates are in compliance with the
applicable Product Lead-Time and the last requested delivery date for such
Product is not more than six (6) months after the end of such Discontinuance
Period.

12.1 Rights of Termination. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events,

<PAGE>

          (including, in the case of Customer, a failure to pay any amount owing
          when due), which breach or default has not been remedied within
          forty-five (45) calendar days (or fifteen (15) calendar days, in the
          case of Customer's failure to pay) after written notice is given by
          the party not in default, specifying the breach or default; or

     (b)  The other party shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a
          receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a

          or other relief with respect to itself or its debts pursuant to any
          bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect
          or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking
          possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or
          other proceeding commenced against it; or

     (c)  Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or

          party or the debts thereof pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or
          other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an
          order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or
          discharged within ninety days of commencement.

12.2 Termination Costs. In the event of termination of this Agreement by
Supplier pursuant to Section 12.1, Customer shall compensate Supplier for any
losses or damage resulting from such termination, including without limitation,
the price of Products shipped, manufactured, or held separately for Customer and
any incurred costs (including without limitation with respect of work in process
and raw materials), and a reasonable allocation of general and administrative
expenses relating to the Products. Notwithstanding any other term or condition
of this Agreement, the foregoing amounts shall be due and payable by Customer
immediately upon receipt of the applicable Supplier invoice.

13.0 DELAYS IN PERFORMANCE

13.1 Excusable Delay. In the event of a delay on the part of Supplier in the
performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement due directly or indirectly to unforeseen
circumstances or a cause which is beyond the reasonable control or without the
fault or negligence of Supplier (an "Excusable Delay"), Supplier shall not be
liable for, nor be deemed to be in default under or breach of this Agreement on
account of such delay and the time fixed or required for the performance of any
such obligation or responsibility shall be extended for a period equal to the
period during which any such delay persists. Excusable Delay shall be deemed to
include, without limitation, delays occasioned by the following causes:

     (a)  force majeure or acts of God;


                                       11

<PAGE>

     (b)  war, warlike operations, act of the enemy, armed aggression, civil
          commotion, insurrection, riot or embargo;

     (c)  fire, explosion, earthquake, lightning, flood, draught, windstorm or
          other action of the elements or other catastrophic or serious
          accidents;

     (d) epidemic or quarantine restrictions;

     (e)  any legislation, act, order, directive or regulation of any
          governmental or other duly constituted authority;

     (f)  strikes, lock-out, walk-out, and/or other labour troubles causing
          cessation, slow-down or interruption of work;

     (g)  a Required Change; or

     (h)  any default in or breach of this Agreement by Customer or any delay of
          Customer in the performance of its obligations or responsibilities
          under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

13.2 Indefinite Delay and Termination. If Supplier reasonably concludes, based
on its reasonable appraisal of the facts and normal scheduling procedures, that
due to an Excusable Delay delivery of any Product will be delayed for more than
six (6) months after the applicable Delivery Date or any revised date agreed to
by the parties, in writing, Supplier shall promptly notify Customer, in writing,
and either party may then terminate this Agreement, including any Purchase
Orders, with respect to the affected Product by giving written notice to the
other party within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Customer of
Supplier's notice.

If, due to an Excusable Delay, delivery of any Product is delayed for more than
six (6) months after the applicable Delivery Date, either party may terminate
this Agreement, including any Purchase Orders, with respect to the affected
Product by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) calendar days
after the expiration of such six (6) month period.

14.0 GENERAL

14.1 Product Specific Terms and Conditions. The Products governed by this
Agreement may be supplied by various Supplier companies and divisions located in
several different jurisdictions. From time to time the supply of an individual
Product may require terms and conditions specific to such Product which terms
and conditions shall be set forth in Exhibit A for the relevant Product.

14.2 Audits. To the extent Customer's records may be relevant in determining
whether Customer is complying with its commitment under Sections 3.1, Supplier
shall have the right during the Term, through independent external certified
professional accountants acceptable to both Supplier and Customer, to examine
and inspect such records as may contain information bearing solely on whether
Customer is in compliance therewith, subject to the other terms of this Section
14.2. Such an audit shall take place under a reasonable confidentiality
agreement, on reasonable notice to Customer and during normal Customer business
hours. The auditor shall disclose to Supplier only whether it found a
discrepancy, and, if so, the amount/extent of that discrepancy. The auditor
shall deliver a copy of each report to Customer within ten (10) days of
disclosure to Supplier, and Customer shall have an opportunity to rebut any
discrepancy in any audit report. Supplier may exercise its audit right not more
than once per year. Solely with respect to compliance of Customer during the
fourth and fifth years of the Term, the audit rights shall terminate following
the date that Customer becomes a publicly traded company in the U.S.A. or is
acquired by a publicly traded company in the U.S.A., provided that Customer, in
lieu of the audit, shall deliver to Supplier a compliance statement, signed by a
then current officer of Customer, certifying compliance by Customer with its
obligations under Section 3.1 hereof. All audits under this Section 14.2 shall
be completed prior to the first anniversary of the expiration date of the Term.

14.3 Export Restrictions. Customer shall not transmit, export or re-export,
directly or indirectly, separately or as part of any system, the Products or any
technical data (including processes and services) received from Supplier,
without first obtaining any license required by the applicable government,
including without limitation, the United States Government and/or any other
applicable competent authority. Customer also certifies that none of the
products or technical data supplied by Supplier under this Agreement shall be
sold or otherwise transferred to, or made available for use by or for, any
entity that is engaged in the design, development, production or use of nuclear,
biological or chemical weapons or missile technology. Customer shall indemnify
and hold Supplier harmless for any violation or alleged violation by Customer of
the foregoing.

14.7 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the other terms or provisions hereof or
the whole of this Agreement, but such term or provision shall be deemed modified
to the extent necessary in the court's opinion to render such term or provision
enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the
intent and agreements of the parties herein set forth.

14.8 Confidential Information. The parties hereby agree that the terms and
conditions of the Non-Disclosure Agreement between the parties, executed on June

in connection with this Agreement. This Section, and the terms and conditions of
the Non-Disclosure Agreement, shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.

independent contractors. Under no circumstances shall any employees of one party

all wages, salaries, and other amounts due its respective employees relative to
this Agreement and shall be responsible for all obligations respecting them
relating to income tax withholdings, unemployment insurance premiums, workers'
compensation, health care and pension plan contributions and other similar
responsibilities. Neither party has the right nor authority to assume or to
create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other party, except as
may from time to time be provided by written instrument signed by both parties.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating an agency or joint
venture, consortium or partnership between the parties.

independent contractor provided that prior to any such assignment, such

of any of its duties, obligations or responsibilities hereunder by use of such
affiliates or independent contractors); and provided further that, without
notice to or consent of Customer, Supplier may at any time assign any payment to
