▇▇▇▇▇
THE WIRELESS ATM COMPANY EXECUTION COPY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
date of such purchase order. Failure by Manufacturer to reject a purchase order
within the timeframe specified above shall be deemed to be acceptance of a
purchase order hereunder.
Purchaser or its designees may elect to source inspect Products
and/or test data and results before delivery from Manufacturer. Manufacturer
will provide reasonable space for the source inspection. Manufacturer will
provide Purchaser with five (5) working days advance notice of Product
availability for source inspection and Purchaser agrees to source inspect said
Products within five (5) working days after such notification. When Purchaser
elects to perform source inspection at Manufacturer's facility, final acceptance
shall occur at the time of source inspector's written acceptance of Product. The
source inspector's written acceptance shall be made within five (5) working days
after such source inspection. If the source inspector fails to be available for
source inspection within the time frame established above, Manufacturer may ship
the Products and Purchaser will inspect the Products upon receipt as described
in the first paragraph hereof.
(ii) Price. Following the qualification of Manufacturer for a given
Product, Manufacturer will quote a firm price for such Product, which will be
included in Appendix A to this Agreement and will be the price for a given
Product unless reduced as follows. Each such firm price quote will include a
▇▇▇▇ of materials, cost of materials, cost of labor, profit margin and such
other detail as Purchaser shall reasonably request.
Manufacturer will use its best efforts, with the assistance of
Purchaser, to implement an ongoing cost reduction program that will aim at a
price reduction to Purchaser of [***] percent ([***]) per annum, beginning once
the Manufacturer has produced more than [***] units of a Product. Manufacturer
agrees to update the Specifications and Documentation to reflect all such cost
reduction efforts and any such revised materials shall be "Specifications"
and/or "Documentation" for all purposes under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no change will be made to the Specifications of or manufacturing
process for a Product without the prior written approval of Purchaser.
(iii) Delivery. All purchase orders issued by Purchaser will be shipped
according to the schedule provided in the applicable purchase order. Deliveries
will be marked as instructed by the party placing such order, including without
limitation, with bar code labels as specified by Purchaser or its third party
contractors from time to time, and will include all relevant test data for such
shipment. All shipments of Products are FOB Manufacturer's factory location with
method of shipment and insurance specified by and paid for by the party placing
the order. If a Product is not available for more than ten (10) working days
from the originally schedule delivery date, Manufacturer shall accrue a late fee
of [***] of the selling price for such Product(s) which is (are) delayed in such
order for each day that such order is delayed beyond such ten (10) working day
period, up to a maximum of [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such penalties
shall not apply where the delays in shipment are as a result of design defects
or Purchaser's negligence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(iv) Rescheduling. A purchase order may be rescheduled, prior to
fifteen (15) working days before the scheduled delivery date for such order. If
a purchase order is rescheduled for more than thirty (30) calendar days from the
originally scheduled delivery date, Purchaser shall accrue a rescheduling charge
of [***] of the selling price for such rescheduled purchase order for each
thirty (30) day period that such rescheduling of a delivery date is delayed
beyond such thirty (30) day period up to a maximum of [***]. If a rescheduling
of a delivery date is delayed beyond [***], Manufacturer shall have the right to
deliver the Products for such purchase order on the one hundred-and-eightieth
day from the originally scheduled delivery date.
(v) Cancellation. In the event that Purchaser cancels any purchase
order, Purchaser shall compensate Manufacturer for the reasonable, actual,
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Manufacturer in acquiring components and
manufacturing the Products subject to such order. Manufacturer will use its best
efforts to mitigate such costs however, in the event that Purchaser is required
to compensate Manufacturer under this Section, Purchaser shall be entitled to
take title over all inventory, components and Products for which it delivers
compensation hereunder.
(vi) Payment. Payment is due and payable fifty (50) calendar days from
the date of issuance of the invoice or shipment of the Products, whichever is
later (the "Payment Date"). Within ten (10) business days after notice by
Manufacturer of its acceptance of a purchase order, Purchaser will establish an
irrevocable letter of credit with a U.S. Bank in favor of the Manufacturer in
the amount of such purchase order (each an "LC"). Each LC shall provide that the
Manufacturer may draw upon the LC on the Payment Date, upon presentation of a
letter, certified by Manufacturer, as to the shipment of the Products and the
invoice and/or shipment date, together with such other documentation and
evidence of shipment as is reasonably established in such LC.
(vii) Electronic Data Interchange. Manufacturer and Purchaser will
jointly implement an Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") system that is
compliant with the EDI requirements of Purchaser's customers in a mutually
agreed to scope and timetable.
(viii) Semi-Annual Review of Prices. Beginning on the date [***] from
the date of this Agreement, and every [***] thereafter, the parties will meet to
discuss in good faith revisions to the pricing and payment terms set forth in
this Section 4(b), in order to reflect competitive pressures and other
then-current market conditions.
c. Acceptance and Rejection of Deliveries. The basic acceptance criteria for
Products shall be conformance to the Specifications by Purchaser. The Purchaser,
or its third-party contractors will accept or reject deliveries of the Products
within twenty (20) working days of receipt of such Products. Such party may
elect to reject Products individually or reject lots on the basis of sample
inspections as described on Appendix A. Any Product (or lot of Products based on
a sample) which fails to meet the Specifications due to the fault of
Manufacturer, will be replaced or repaired by Manufacturer. All such Products
shall be tracked by Manufacturer's RMA system. Manufacturer shall provide
monthly reports on the status of all RMAs. If the recipient
[***] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
-6-
7
▇▇▇▇▇
THE WIRELESS ATM COMPANY EXECUTION COPY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of an order does not provide Manufacturer such notice within the twenty (20)
working day period, the Product will be presumed to have been accepted, and any
defective Products will be dealt with thereafter as warranty claims.
d. Purchases from Purchaser. Manufacturer will purchase certain components and
inventory from Purchaser on terms and conditions mutually agreeable to the
parties and pursuant to purchase orders distinct from those under this
Agreement.
5. ENGINEERING SERVICES
a. Identification of Services. Manufacturer agrees to undertake and complete
certain manufacturing engineering tasks for Purchaser. Purchaser has described
such services to Manufacturer in detail and Manufacturer has provided purchaser
with a firm price quote for such services, both of which are attached hereto as
Appendix D. It is the parties intention that Purchaser will compensate
Manufacturer for these services proportionately to reflect the timely
achievement of milestones by Manufacturer and the value of interim milestones to
Purchaser. Therefore, within ten (10) working days after the Effective Date,
Purchaser and Manufacturer will mutually agree upon an update to Appendix D,
which will provide for the same services to be provided by Manufacturer to
Purchaser at the same price quoted by Manufacturer, but will also list key
interim milestones for such services, delivery dates for each such milestone and
payment amounts for each such milestone. As the parties identify additional
manufacturing engineering tasks with respect to existing or newly added Products
the parties will, by mutual agreement, update Appendix D in writing. The
products of the efforts of the tasks referred to on Appendix D are referred to
herein as the "Deliverables".
b. Acceptance and Rejection of Deliverables. Upon delivery of any Deliverables,
Purchaser will test, review and otherwise evaluate such Deliverables to
determine whether such Deliverables warrant modifications to the Specifications,
Documentation or manufacturing process for a Product. Within thirty (30)
calendar days of delivery of the Deliverables, Purchaser shall provide
Manufacturer with written notice of acceptance or rejection of such
Deliverables. In the event Purchaser rejects such Deliverables for cause (i.e.,
failure to comply with the specifications for such Deliverable), Purchaser may,
at its option extend the period for delivery of such Deliverable on the basis of
the originally agreed to compensation or terminate the project for such
Deliverable with no further liability to Manufacturer. If Purchaser rejects such
Deliverable other than for cause, Manufacturer shall nonetheless be entitled to
receive the compensation as set forth in subsection (c) below. If Purchaser
accepts such Deliverable, Manufacturer and Purchaser will work together to
implement such changes as are necessitated to the Specifications, Documentation
and other materials and Manufacturer shall be entitled to receive compensation
as set forth in subsection (c) below.
c. Ownership of Deliverables. Manufacturer understands and agrees that the work
to performed by it for Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered
"Work Made for Hire" as that term is defined in ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code,
Section 201; Purchaser shall own all right, title and interest in the
Deliverables developed by Manufacturer. If, for any reason, the
-7-
8
▇▇▇▇▇
THE WIRELESS ATM COMPANY EXECUTION COPY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Works Made for Hire rule is found not be applicable to this Agreement,
Manufacturer hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in the
Deliverables, including, without limitation, all patent rights, copyrights,
trade secrets to Purchaser. Manufacturer agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and
to execute all documents necessary to effectuate and perfect Purchaser's
ownership of and rights to the Deliverables.
d. Compensation for Deliverables. In consideration for any engineering services
provided hereunder Purchaser will issue securities to Manufacturer (or a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Manufacturer) as follows. Upon the achievement of
each milestone for which Manufacturer is entitled to compensation pursuant to
Appendix D, Purchaser will issue to Manufacturer (or a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Manufacturer) that number of shares of the Purchaser's then most recently
issued series of Preferred Stock as is determined by dividing the dollar amount
specified for the achievement of such milestone on Appendix D by the price per
share at which shares of such series of Preferred Stock were most recently
issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser effects an initial public
offering of Common Stock, then following such offering Purchaser may, at its
election, decide to compensate Manufacturer in cash, or such other mutually
agreeable form of consideration, for any services provided on or after the
effective date of such offering.
d. Termination of Projects. Purchaser may cancel a project for cause under this
Section, without any further liability to Manufacturer, if Manufacturer has not
delivered a Deliverable or other significant intermediate work product within
thirty (30) working days of the mutually agreed scheduled delivery date, or for
other material failures of Manufacturer in connection with such project.
Purchaser may also cancel a project for convenience under this Section at any
time, provided however, that if Purchaser cancels a project for convenience, and
the securities delivered by Purchaser as of such cancellation reflect, a
different percentage of the total securities originally planned to be issued for
such project than the percentage of work completed by Manufacturer as of such
date, then the party to whom such benefit has accrued will provide the other
party with cash compensation or will return or grant, as appropriate, securities
to the other party, to offset such differential compensation.
e. Additional Representations. With respect to any securities issued hereunder,
Manufacturer hereby represents and warrants, and agrees to represent and warrant
at the time such securities are issued, as follows: (i) that Manufacturer has
had access to and is familiar with information concerning the Purchaser's
business, affairs, financial condition, and current prospects; (ii) that any
such securities are being acquired for its own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to or in connection with the sale or distribution of
any part thereof; (iii) that Manufacturer understands that such securities will
not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and (iv) that the issuance
of such securities does not conflict with the laws of the jurisdiction in which
Manufacturer is organized. The Manufacturer further agrees that, in connection
with the initial registration of the Purchaser's securities that, upon request
of the Purchaser or the underwriters managing any underwritten initial public
offering of the Purchaser's securities, not to sell, make any short sale of,
loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any
securities of the Purchaser (other than those included in the
-8-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
registration) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser or such
underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such registration) as may
be requested by the Purchaser or such managing underwriters.
6. WARRANTY
Manufacturer warrants all Products sold under this Agreement to comply with the
Specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal
and proper use for a period of [***] from the latest of the issuance date of the
invoice of the purchase order, the shipment date for such Products and the
acceptance date for such Products.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR
STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY.
Within the stated warranty period, Manufacturer will repair or replace, at its
option, any Product which is returned to its plant, provided inspection and
examination discloses to Manufacturer's reasonable satisfaction that (a) the
reported defects are within the warranty coverage, (b) the Product has not been
tampered with, or (c) the Product has not been damaged due to misuse, improper
storage or maintenance, negligence or accident. Purchaser will bear the cost of
shipping such defective Products to Manufacturer, and if Manufacturer is
required to repair or replace such Products, Manufacturer will return the
warranty repaired Product shipping via the same type of service originally used
to ship the failed Product to the recipient at Manufacturer's cost.
Any such returned or repaired item shall have a full [***] warranty beginning on
the date that such repaired or replaced Products are received by the Purchaser
or the Purchaser's customer. Manufacturer shall provide repaired or replaced
Products to the party ordering such products within fifteen (15) working days of
receiving such defective products.

(including the deemed value of any engineering services provided hereunder)
during calendar year 2001 is greater than or equal to the greater of (A) [***]
and (B) [***] of Purchaser's Requirement of Products during such period;
Manufacturer and its affiliates agree that they will not directly or indirectly
provide products or services (excluding stand-alone, receive-only Low Noise
Block down converters for broadcast television services in the consumer
marketplace which are not designed to be integrated into the broad-band
point-to-multipoint microwave radios of any third party) to any third party,
including any affiliate of Manufacturer, with the effect of aiding the design or
manufacture of non-satellite, broad-band point-to-multipoint microwave radios in
the 10 to 42 GHz frequencies to a party other than the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the dollar volume nor the percentage
purchase requirements for the maintenance will be necessary for the maintenance
of exclusivity if (1) Manufacturer has not qualified to release the Products
listed on Appendix E hereto within the timeframes listed thereon, or (2)
Manufacturer is failing to provide Products to Purchaser in accordance with the
delivery and quality requirements set forth in this Agreement and the
Documentation.
b. For purposes of measuring the minimum dollar requirements of Section 14(a)
above, up to an aggregate of [***] worth of purchase orders and engineering
services requests placed prior to the end of a period, but which are not to be
delivered until subsequent periods may, at Purchaser's election, be included in
measuring such minimum quantities, provided that if such amounts are so included
in a period, such amounts will not be included in any subsequent periods. For
purposes of measuring the minimum percentage requirements described in Section
14(a) above, the numerator of such fraction will be the monetary value of all
cash, securities and other compensation (including for components and
engineering services) delivered to Manufacturer by Purchaser or its third party
contractors hereunder and the denominator of such fraction will be the
Purchaser's Requirement for Products. The term "Requirement for Products" shall
mean the dollar value (as measured by the price from Manufacturer to Purchaser)
of complete radios purchased by Purchaser from any source.
c. In the event that Manufacturer's quoted prices are not comparable to those
available to Purchaser from other parties on similar terms and conditions,
Manufacturer will work together with Purchaser in good faith to reach a mutually
acceptable prices.
15. PRODUCT CHANGES
Manufacturer understands and agrees that Purchaser from time to time may make
changes to the design and/or Specifications on any Product involved with this
Agreement. Changes will be documented and provided to Manufacturer via
Engineering Change Orders ("ECOs"). Each ECO will specify an effective date for
the change. Upon receipt of an ECO, Manufacturer shall review it and provide a
written response to Purchaser within five (5) working days stating any impact to
schedule or price. Manufacturer shall not implement any ECO which delays any
delivery schedule or increases price to the Purchaser without first obtaining
written authorization from Purchaser. Upon adoption of any ECO that has a
material impact on the price for a Product, Manufacturer will requote a firm
price for such Product in accordance with the

TABLE 2-1: ETSI [***]GHZ BAND [***]MHZ CHANNEL PLAN
[***]
The associated channel plan for the lower half of the band is listed in Table
2-1: ETSI [***] GHz Band [***] MHz Channel Plan. The table assumes that base
station uses the lower duplex frequency for transmit, although this does not
need to be the case. In some regions, the upper half of the band may be also
used, which is not illustrated here.
The ETSI [***]GHz band is divided into four bands each corresponding to a unique
radio unit model:
- Band [***] (downstream [***]): [***]GHz
- Band [***] (downstream [***]): [***]GHz
- Band [***] (upstream [***]): [***]GHz
- Band [***] (upstream [***]): [***]GHz
With Release 2, the AirStar system supports the [***] [***] GHz frequency plan
in the range [***]GHz, with a T/R spacing of [***]MHz and [***]MHz of step size.
The system will be capable of supporting [***] MHz or [***] MHz channels. The
associated channel plans for each of the channels are listed below. The AirStar
system is configured that the [***] transmit, higher duplex frequency is used
for Base Station receive. Vice verse for Subscriber terminals. The center
frequencies are in Table 2-2: [***] [***] GHz Channel Plan.

[***]
FIGURE 2-2 - BIT ERROR RATIO (EB/NO, CIR, [***])
The values in Figure 2-2 - Bit Error Ratio [***] are based on extensive forward
error correction. As stated earlier the AirStar system uses [***], which is used
in the upstream transmission. Without [***], the [***] effect could be
disastrous. The analysis below refers to the upstream direction because it is
has less . . .

FEC overhead than the downstream direction. In the downstream [***] thus the
error performance is slightly better.
The degradation for [***] and [***] is tolerable because these values are well
within the link rain-fade margins. One view is that these are lost margins that
affect the link availability for subscriber terminals located in an interference
zone. But this view is too pessimistic.) [***] in linear unit's increases nearly
exponentially with distance. Therefore, in a [***] the interference source is
attenuated much more than the local source and [***] is lost.
At [***] the degradation is [***]. Therefore, a suitable frequency reuse scheme
will exclude coverage for areas with CIR below [***].
2.1.3. Frequency Reuse Assumptions
1. The base stations use directional (sectorial) antennas with front-to-back
ratio of at lease [***] dB, antenna pattern per ETSI specs (worst case).
2. The subscriber terminals use directional antennas with front-to-back ratio
of at least [***] dB.
3. Each sector transmits in [***]. If [***] are aggregated in one sector, they
are considered one frequency band for this analysis. Specifically, if four
[***] MHz channels are in use, a [***] reuse scheme allows to group channels
[***] and channels [***].
4. Cross polarization is not included. This degree of freedom is additional to
this analysis and can be added to [***], however horizontal polarization
will have a [***] then vertical polarization caused by [***].
5. The transmission if full duplex, Frequency [***]. All base stations transmit
in the same frequency band.
6. [***] AM modulation with strong FEC, such as BCH, [***] block.
7. All terminals have line of sight to their base station.
8. The area is a perfect plane where all base stations are visible (a worst
case for interference).
9. Any receiver can reject adjacent channels to a negligible interference. A
[***] dB rejection is sufficient for most situations discussed below.
10. Free space attenuation law (Inverse Square of distance).
2.1.4 Two-Frequency Arrangement
A [***] arrangement can be assembled by a square cell shape or by hexagonal
shape. An example of a square arrangement is shown in Figure 2-3 -
Two-[***] reuse scheme.

2.1.5 TWO-FREQUENCY ARRANGEMENT COVERAGE
Based on the assumptions above and the AirStar system elements analysis of
coverage of a two-frequency square pattern has shown that about [***] of
subscribers can have good CIR with the [***] mm subscriber antenna. A large,
[***]mm antenna increases CIRlimited coverage to virtually [***]. This
performance is due to the following key enabling features.
- Interference-tolerant [***]QAM modulation
- Directional subscriber terminal antennas
- Sector antennas width with fast roll-off
- A special square-zone reuse geometry
- Extensive Forward Error Correction

3.2 SUBSCRIBER RADIO UNIT (SRU)
The Subscriber Radio Unit (SRU) shown on the following page is designed to fit
in a variety of customer premise environments. It is built with an integral
directional antenna and weighs less than [***] kg. The standard subscriber
antenna is a [***]mm lens-corrected horn. This provides a gain of [***]dBi
minimum in [***]GHz, [***]GHz band, [***]dBi minimum in [***] GHz band. The
radiation pattern subscriber radio unit exceeds the requirements for ETSI point
to multi-point equipment. If higher gain is required, the non-integral version
of the antennas can be used. These provide a gain up to [***]dBi minimum.
In general, the [***] GHz band is divided into four bands:

QUALITY STANDARDS AND REPORTS
(A) Manufacturer hereby represents and warrants that it is, and will continue
to be ISO 9000 registered and commits to ensure that all sub-contractors
or contract manufacturing manufacturers, which contribute to the design,
development, production, delivery and service of material will become ISO
9000 registered by an accredited Registrar within eighteen (18) months
after first purchase order is placed by Purchaser.
(B) Manufacturer commits to having a continuous improvement program in place
which will allow it to attain and maintain "acceptable" ratings (or
equivalent) on all quality system elements as periodically performed by
Purchaser. An "acceptable" element is defined as one where the quality
system meets the "general intent" of the quality system and is fully
deployed to maintain the quality system and product quality. No
significant deficiencies encountered that would jeopardize the quality
system, and product quality and/or reliability.
(C) Manufacturer commits to establish key quality control ("QC") verification
points throughout the manufacturing process. These verification points
should be located in-process as well as after material has completed all
manufacturing operations. The scope of these QC verification points shall
be validated through visual or mechanical inspections and/or tests, and
with the use of statistically valid sampling plans, that material conforms
to Manufacturer's manufacturing, product and process specifications,
standards of acceptable workmanship, as well as other specification's
which may be provided by Purchaser. Purchaser reserves the right to review
these QC points and make suggestions for improvement. Manufacturer commits
to address these suggestions through the implementation of appropriate
corrective actions.
(D) Manufacturer commits to establish an end of the line Quality Assurance
product audit on material by three (3) months after first purchase order.
The focus of this audit shall be to replicate user application of material
as specified by Purchaser's customer. Test and examination of material
under the quality audit shall be at a system level, and shall include but
is not limited to:
a) Exercising said material over the full spectrum of temperature ranges
over which material is designed to operate.
b) Full operation of material over a period of time not less than 72
hours.
c) A system for continuous monitoring of all primary product functions
and fault detection of the material while under this test.

material found defective through the quality assurance audit in line with
the requirements and process outlined in paragraph F.
Manufacturer agrees to provide to Purchaser on a monthly basis, results of
the quality assurance product audit in a format specified by Purchaser.
(E) Manufacturer commits to establishing a program of tracking monthly,
quarterly, and annual return rates for the product manufactured under this
contract. The Manufacturer agrees to update and report on returns on a
quarterly basis to Purchaser.
(F) Manufacturer commits to establishing a system for tracking and analysis
all material returned by Purchaser to it, as well as any material failures
which occur through Purchaser's end of the line quality assurance audit.
For all material in the above two categories, Manufacturer shall perform a
failure mode analysis, which at a minimum will be down to the component
level. Component level failure modes will be recorded, and failed
components found defective will be accumulated for the purpose of
determining repetitive occurrences.
Material shall be considered defective if it fails to meet the warranty
specifications under this Agreement (including performance and appearance
Specifications) or if during customer testing, installation, or use, the
material fails to operate as expected or specified.
If the analysis of a return is found to be within the specifications of
this agreement (i.e., a no trouble found condition), then Manufacturer
shall track these no trouble found conditions and notify Purchaser of said
findings at a minimum of a monthly interval, so that appropriate
investigative measures may be taken to determine the root cause.
(G) If the return rate is found to exceed a mutually agreed to acceptable rate
or repetitive occurrences are observed with regard to component level
failures then the Manufacturer shall provide a written Corrective Action
Report to Purchaser, explaining in detail the nature of the problem
detected, and the step(s) Manufacturer proposes to correct the problem. As
part of the plan to correct the problem, it is agreed that the
Manufacturer shall:
a) Incorporate the remedy in affected material.
b) Ship all subsequent material incorporating the required modification
correcting the problem at no additional charge to Purchaser; and

NOTES:
Completion of the project definition means a resource plan is completed and
agreed upon in writing by both parties.
The units are to be tested against a mutually agreed written test plan. This
test plan to be prepared and finalized ahead of the delivery of the units to
prevent the qualification from being gated by this activity.
The units described as "pilot" are the units which are candidates to become the
"beta" deliverables from ▇▇▇▇▇ under its gate process. They are intended to be a
"production" quality but to be built from early product documentation. These
designs are intended to migrate to "limited availability" and then "general
availability" without significant redesign.
The last milestone for each frequency marks the point at which the
responsibility for the project is transferred from the Engineering to the
Manufacturing organization in each company.
