5.7 Tax Matters.

Upon receipt of any ▇▇▇▇ for such Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets, Each Party shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.7(b) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the Party owing it to the other within 10 days after delivery of such statement. In the event that either Party makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 5.7(b), the other Party shall make such reimbursement no later than 10 days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting Party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement. Calix shall, at its election, be entitled to recover any Property Taxes for which Ericsson is liable under this Section 5.7(b).

(c) Certain Taxes. The Parties agree that the Purchase Price is exclusive of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other substantially similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). Each Party shall be responsible for the payment of 50% of any Transfer Taxes that may be imposed upon or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or that may be imposed upon or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with the execution of any other Transaction Document; provided, that if any such Transfer Taxes are required to be collected, remitted or paid by a seller, 50% of such Transfer Taxes shall be paid by Calix to Ericsson at the Closing or thereafter, as required. All other Closing expenses will be paid by the Party incurring such expenses. Upon request , the Party taking

responsibility for the remittance of a jointly paid amount of Transfer Tax to a Tax Authority shall provide the other Party with an original receipt (or such other evidence as shall be reasonably satisfactory) evidencing the payment of such Transfer Taxes.

(d) Each Transfer Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes imposed in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein or in respect of the execution of any other Transaction Document shall be prepared by the Party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Transfer Tax Return pursuant to the applicable Tax Laws. Any Transfer Tax Returns prepared by pursuant to this Section shall be made available to the other Party at least five Business Days before such Tax Returns are due to be filed. The Party not filing such return shall pay to the filing Party 50% of the Transfer Taxes payable at least one Business Day before such Transfer Tax becomes due and payable.

(f) Audits. Ericsson shall promptly notify Calix in writing upon receipt by Ericsson of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments that reasonably may be expected to relate to the Purchased Assets.

5.8 Assets Held by Affiliates. To the extent that any of the Purchased Assets are held or owned by Affiliates of Ericsson as of the Agreement Date, Ericsson shall cause each such Affiliate to transfer the Purchased Assets held by such Affiliate to Ericsson prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties recognize and agree that the Patent License Agreement and assignment of copyrights will be done by agreements with Affiliates of Ericsson.

5.9 Further Actions. From and after the Closing Date, Ericsson shall cooperate with Calix and Calix's Affiliates and Representatives, and shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as Calix may reasonably request, for the purpose of evidencing the Transactions and putting Calix in possession and control of all of the Purchased Assets.

5.10 Further Assurances . Ericsson agrees to, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, without further consideration, execute and deliver, following the Closing, such other instruments of transfer and take such other action as Calix or its counsel may reasonably request in order to put Calix in possession of, and to vest in Calix, good, valid and unencumbered title to the Purchased Assets under this Agreement and to consummate the contemplated acquisition.

5.11 Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.

(a) Ericsson agrees that neither Ericsson nor any Affiliate of Ericsson will at any time during the one- year period from and immediately following the Closing Date, solicit, seek to employ or otherwise attempt to induce any Transferred Employee to terminate his or her employment with Calix or any Affiliate of Calix, unless Calix gives its written consent to such employment or offer of employment. The restrictions on solicitation set forth in this Section 5.11(a) shall not apply to general bona fide public advertisements for employment placed by Ericsson and not specifically targeted at the employees of Calix or its Affiliates.

(b) Ericsson acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 5.11 are reasonable and necessary to protect the interests of Calix, that any violation of this Section 5.11 may result in an irreparable injury to Calix and that damages at Law may not be reasonable or adequate compensation to Calix for violation of this Section 5.11 and that, in addition to any other available remedies, Calix shall be entitled to seek to have the provisions of this Section 5.11 specifically enforced by preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond or other security to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising out of any violation of this Section 5.11. In the event that the provision of this Section 5.11 shall ever be deemed to exceed the time, geographic scope or other limitations permitted by Law, then the provisions shall be deemed reformed to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

5.12 Transition Services. For a period of 90 days following the Closing Date, Ericsson shall provide Calix with services to assist in the transition of the operation of the Purchased Assets, including the sale and marketing of the Business Products, by Calix after the Closing Date (“Transition Services”). Such Transition Services shall be provided on terms set forth in the attached Exhibit C, Transition Services.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Ericsson shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Indemnified Persons for all Losses arising out of, resulting from, related to or in connection with (i) any failure of any certification, representation or warranty made by Ericsson in this Agreement, or (ii) any Excluded Liability or (iii) any breach of any covenant in this Agreement, but only to the extent such covenant provides that it is to be performed after the Closing.

(b) The above obligation of Ericsson to indemnify the Indemnified Persons shall be subject to each of the following principles or qualifications:

(i) No claim for the recovery of Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i) may be asserted by any Indemnified Person against Ericsson or its successors in interest after such representations and warranties have expired under Section 8.1; provided, however, that claims first asserted in writing prior to such expiration shall not be barred.

(v) Ericsson (A) waives any right to require any Indemnified Person to (1) proceed against any Person including any other Indemnified Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any collateral or security or (3) pursue any other remedy in its power, and (B) waives any defense arising by reason of any inability of any other obligor to pay or any defense based on bankruptcy or insolvency or other similar limitations on creditors' remedies with respect to any other Person.

(vi) This Section 8.2 states Ericsson's, including its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, sole liability for claims arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions, and related agreements.

8.3 Indemnification Procedure. In the event Calix becomes aware of a third-party claim which Calix believes may result in a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Calix shall promptly notify Ericsson of such third-party claim. No delay in providing such notice shall affect an Indemnified Person's rights, unless (and then only to the extent that) Ericsson is materially prejudiced. Calix shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by Calix in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys' fees, other professionals' and experts' fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Losses for which Calix may seek indemnification via a claim). Ericsson shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the third-party claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person and shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the third-party claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the third-party claim. However, except with the consent of Ericsson, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless Ericsson shall have objected within 15 days after a written request for such consent by Calix, no settlement or resolution of any such claim with any third-party claimant shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Losses relating to such matter. In the event that Ericsson has consented to any such settlement or resolution, Ericsson shall not have any power or authority to object under Section 8.3 or any other provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution.

Exhibit B

Reseller Agreement

This Reseller Agreement (“Reseller Agreement”) is entered into on August __2012 (“Effective Date”) between Ericsson AB (“Ericsson”), a Swedish corporation with offices at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Calix, Inc. (“Calix”), a Delaware corporation with offices at ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Ericsson and Calix may be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”

Calix appoints Ericsson as a Reseller of Calix products on the following terms and conditions:


1.	Terms of Appointment.

1.1

Appointment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Reseller Agreement, Calix appoints Ericsson, as a non-exclusive reseller of those Calix products listed in Exhibit A (“Products”), and as a reseller of Calix Services and Support (“Services”) as listed in the Support and Service Addendum, attached as Exhibit B. Ericsson agrees to purchase the Products and Services exclusively from Calix, and shall not serve as a reseller of new or used Products obtained from other sources.

1.2

Preferred Global Partner. During the Term (as defined below) Ericsson will be the prime contractor for the resale of Products and Services to those customers of Ericsson listed in Exhibit C (“Customers”), except as set forth below. It is Ericsson's intention to sell the Calix Products as Ericsson's preferred solution for broadband access applications and Ericsson Business Networks shall position Calix as its preferred global partner. Calix and Ericsson wish to work cooperatively to develop the broadband access market for application solutions such as GPON across Ericsson and Customer's networks. Accordingly, Ericsson agrees to introduce Calix to all Ericsson Customers listed in Exhibit ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ will have the responsibility to coordinate with Ericsson for introductions to such Customers. Upon reviewing each Customer, and with Ericsson's consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), Calix may offer and conclude completely separate agreements directly with Customers at Calix's discretion.

1.3

Marketing and Sales Program. With Calix's input and mutual approval of the Parties, Ericsson shall prepare a marketing and sales program to promote the Calix Products widely among Ericsson's and its affiliates' marketing organization and sales force. This program shall include but is not limited to marketing launch, marketing materials, business solution materials, support documentation, sales launch program, road shows and training sessions. Ericsson shall launch this program as part of a global access solution and Calix will provide the required material and resources to support Ericsson in this effort. Ericsson will also place these materials in the Ericsson Global product Catalog for access by Ericsson regions and Customer units. Both Parties shall support the above programs with product management, project management, program management, and technical support, and Ericsson shall maintain a support organization to fulfill these requirements. The Parties agree to evaluate the progress of this Section 1.3 through Quarterly Business Reviews (“QBRs”).

1.4

Amendment of Exhibit C. Exhibit C may be amended from time to time by via the following process: Ericsson shall notify Calix in writing each time it wishes to add a “Customer” to Exhibit C. Within five business days of receipt of such notice, Calix must accept or decline the addition. If Calix fails to decline such designation within five business days of receipt of notice from Ericsson, the notice shall be deemed accepted and such Customer shall be added to the list in Exhibit C.


1.5	Direct Sales. Calix shall have the right to appoint other resellers of the Products and Services. Calix shall at all times retain the right to sell, market and service the Products and Services directly to any customer (including those listed in Exhibit C). In the event Ericsson and Calix do not agree on a direct Calix customer

relationship as permitted in this Section 1.2, except as set forth in Section 1.6 below, if Calix intends to sell directly to a Customer listed in Exhibit C, Calix may proceed to sell to such Customer after providing 30 days notice to Ericsson.

1.6

Focus on Calix Products and Services. The intent of the Parties is to develop a market for, promote, and sell the Calix Products and Services. Ericsson BNET will work in good faith, both for new and existing Customers to position Calix as the vendor of choice for all broadband access opportunities. If to the knowledge of director level and above employees of the Ericsson PAID organization during the Term of this Reseller Agreement, and upon the request of an Ericsson Customer, an Ericsson Region, affiliate or distributor intends to market or offer an alternative solution of non-Calix products or services that may reasonably be considered competitive with the Products or Services, Ericsson BNET will work with Calix on a competitive offering to meet the Customer requirement. Ericsson will notify Calix at least 30 days in advance of offering such competitive products or services and offer Calix the immediate ability to sell directly to that customer.


1.7	Resale Restrictions. Except with Calix's prior consent, Ericsson shall not resell Products to any other reseller, to any other similar resale vendor or channel partner, or to any Calix competitor, including but not limited to Adtran, Alcatel-Lucent, Enablence, Huawei, Tellabs, Zhone, and ZTE.


1.8	Customer Service. Ericsson agrees to provide its Customers with technical service in accordance to the standards and terms set forth in Exhibit B.


1.9	Forecasts and Reports. Ericsson shall furnish Calix with:


1.9.1	within15 business days of the end of each quarter, a statement of shipments of Products, with detail by Customer; including, Customer name, ship-to-address, part number, quantity, and ship date.

9.2.	The Escrow Agreement to be entered into shall be the Escrow Agent's model escrow agreement (as amended from time to time by the Escrow Agent) with the amendments set out below incorporated into the said agreement . The Escrow Agreement shall be valid for a minimum period of five years from its execution unless terminated as stated in the Escrow Agreement.

9.5.2.	if Calix is in material breach of the Maintenance and Support Appendix (Exhibit B) which is not cured within 60 days of Calix's receipt of notice of such material breach from Ericsson.

9.6.

Delivery Of The Material To Ericsson. Escrow Agent shall distribute the Material to Ericsson no sooner than 15 days after receipt of the request of release of the Material.

CALIX, INC. ANTI-BRIBERY COMPLIANCE POLICY

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE STATEMENT

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) is a US federal law that applies to both individuals and businesses. All Calix, Inc. (“Calix”) business around the world falls within the scope of the FCPA. Violations of the FCPA subject offending parties to severe criminal and civil penalties.

The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (▇▇ ▇▇▇) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that applies to both individuals and businesses. Due to Calix's presence in the UK, all Calix business around the world falls within the scope of the UK Act. Violations of the UK Act subject the offending parties to severe criminal penalties.

Calix is committed to full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the FCPA and UK Act (collectively, “the Acts”). The purpose of this policy (“Policy”) is to alert employees, officers, directors, agents and contractors of Calix and its subsidiaries to the requirements of the Acts and to establish best practices and recordkeeping procedures that assure that all transactions undertaken by Calix, both internationally and domestically, are in compliance with the Acts.

2.0 THE ACTS IN SUMMARY

The Acts specifically prohibit Calix, and individuals acting on Calix's behalf, from offering, promising, or giving “anything of value,” or providing an “advantage” to another person or entity with the intent of inducing that person or entity to take any improper action, or rewarding that person for taking an improper action. Stated more concisely, the Acts strictly prohibit the payment of bribes, kickbacks or other inducements. Receiving a bribe can also violate the Acts.

The Acts prohibit both direct and indirect offers and payments. Therefore, Calix and Calix Representatives (as defined below) are potentially liable for any actions made through an agent, consultant, or other third-party intermediary with the knowledge or belief that it will violate the Acts. “Knowledge” includes a conscious disregard for or deliberate ignorance of facts that indicate a high probability that the payment or offer will occur. In other words, Calix cannot use another party to do indirectly anything which it cannot do directly.

Calix can also be liable if it fails to prevent a bribe. Therefore, it is important that Calix take strong steps to ensure that all Calix employees comply with this Policy.

Although the FCPA prohibits improper payments to “foreign officials,” the UK Act is not so limited. Therefore, this policy applies to offers and payments to any individual or entity: there is no difference between bribing a public official, private citizen, government agency or private corporation. The terms “anything of value” and “advantage” are also interpreted very liberally, and can include items such as travel, entertainment, or lavish meals.

The Acts require U.S. companies to maintain books and records that accurately and fairly reflect international corporate transactions, and require that companies establish a system of internal accounting controls to provide reasonable assurance to management of the type of financial transactions undertaken by the company. Under the accounting standards provisions of the Acts, even payments that are legal under the Acts must be properly recorded in the accounts and records of the company. Recording of such payments in any way that would conceal their true nature constitutes an independent violation of the Acts accounting standards.

Statutory penalties for violation of the Acts include unlimited per violation fines for companies, and unlimited fines and imprisonment for up to fifteen years per violation for individuals.

3.0 THE CALIX POLICY AND PROCEDURES

To ensure that Calix remains in compliance with the Acts, all employees, officers, directors, agents and contractors of Calix and its subsidiaries (collectively “Calix Representatives”) must comply with this Policy, and the procedural guidelines below.

3.1 Scope. This Policy applies to all Calix Representatives. It is designed to help them recognize situations and payments that might raise legal issues under the Acts. It is important that each Calix Representative with responsibilities that might give rise to potential liabilities resulting from the Acts be aware of this Policy, comply with its procedures, and work closely with Calix's Legal and Finance Departments to ensure compliance (See Section 4.2).

3.2 Responsibilities. Each Calix Representative is responsible for recognizing, avoiding and reporting any situation involving practices that may be illegal under the Acts. Calix Representatives are further responsible for complying with this Policy and its record-keeping procedures. All managers are responsible for communicating this Policy to Calix Representatives under their supervision. To ensure compliance with this Policy, Calix Representatives involved in retaining agents and consultants are also required to have such agents and consultants certify compliance with this Policy.

3.3 Prohibited Payments and requests. No Calix Representative shall offer, promise, or give anything of value or any advantage to any other person or entity with the intent or knowledge that such action may induce that person or entity to take any improper action. This prohibition applies to the use of corporate as well as personal funds or assets. It also applies to indirect contributions, payments, or gifts made through any consultants, agents, advisors, suppliers, customers, or other third parties. No Calix Representative shall use Calix assets to make any charitable or political contributions unless approved in advance by the Calix Legal Department, and Calix Representatives shall take care that any personal charitable or political contributions are not made for purposes that would be improper under this Policy. No Calix employee shall request, agree to receive, or accept an advantage intending that a relevant function or activity should be performed improperly.

3.4 Permitted Payments. Certain payments to foreign officials or entities may not be prohibited by the Acts. However, it can be extremely difficult to distinguish between payments that are legal and illegal under the Acts. Consequently, any proposed payment to a foreign official or entity must be approved by the Calix Legal Department or CFO before any such payment is made, and must be accurately reported as a business expense.

3.5 General Policies. Calix Representatives are to conduct Calix business in compliance with the written laws of the US, UK, and of all countries in which Calix does business. In particular, no Calix Representative shall:

3.5.1 use Calix funds or assets for any unlawful, improper or unethical purpose;

3.5.2 establish any undisclosed or unrecorded funds or assets of Calix for any purpose;

3.5.3 make any false, inflated, or artificial entries in the books and records of Calix for any reason, or engage in any arrangement that results in such entries;

3.5.4 falsify any accounting document relating to any transaction, or otherwise take any action with respect to such a document that may obscure or disguise the true nature of the underlying transaction;

3.5.5 approve a payment on behalf of Calix without adequate supporting documentation or with the intention or understanding that any part of such payment is to be used for any purpose other than that described by the documents supporting the payment; or

3.5.6 fail to comply with generally accepted accounting principles and established internal audit controls and procedures.

3.6 In Case of Doubt. If a Calix Representative has any doubt as to the legality under the Acts or this Policy of any planned payment to any individual or entity, or the accuracy of financial reporting with respect to any transaction, the Calix Representative should immediately contact and discuss the matter with the Calix Legal or Finance Departments prior to making any such payment or recording such financial information.

3.7 Duty to Report Potential or Actual Violations. Any Calix Representative who suspects that a violation of either of the Acts is about to occur, shall immediately report the facts supporting that suspicion to his or her manager, to Calix's General Counsel, or anonymously via the online or phone methods used to report concerns regarding violations of the Calix Ethics and Business Conduct Policy. Any Calix manager receiving such report shall immediately report it to Calix's General Counsel. If any Calix Representative believes that an actual violation of this policy has occurred, he or she shall immediately report the violation via the reporting methods detailed in the Calix Whistleblower Policy, which are accessible via the main page of CPoint.

3.8 Annual Certification. All Calix Representatives shall certify, on an annual basis, that they have reviewed and understood this Policy, and will comply with it. New Calix employees shall make such certification as part of their orientation process.

3.9 Consequences of Noncompliance. In addition to those penalties which may be assessed by the US and UK governments against individuals who violate the Acts, Calix shall take strong disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, against any Calix Representative who violates this Policy.

4.0 RETENTION OF INTERNATIONAL AGENTS OR CONSULTANTS

4.1 Due Diligence. Calix Representatives shall perform careful due diligence before retaining any foreign agents or consultants, or any agents or consultants retained in the US to provide services outside of the country. The level of due diligence to be performed may increase, depending upon the nature of the proposed relationship, the amount of compensation proposed, the location of the agent and other factors. At a minimum, the due diligence should include a search of the databases available from the U.S. Departments of State, Treasury and Commerce, to ensure that the organization and its principals are not listed as debarred, denied or specially designated nationals. The results of this due diligence should be reviewed with the Calix Legal Department prior to formally retaining such agent or consultant. The Legal Department must also review and approve all contracts with such entities before they are signed.

4.2 Certification. If such an agent or consultant is retained, the Calix Representative supervising the agent or consultant shall obtain a signed agreement by which the consultant or agent agrees to comply with the Acts (in substantially the form attached). This language may be included in an overall definitive agreement with the agent or consultant. If such agents or consultants are engaged by Calix for more than one year, they shall be asked to certify their compliance with this Policy, in writing, on an annual basis.

4.3 Red Flags. Calix Representatives should be aware of certain “Red Flags,” which may indicate a questionable transaction with an agent or consultant, such as:

4.3.1 requests for unusual payments or financial arrangements, such as: payments to a numbered bank account; payments to accounts in countries other than where the agent or consultant is located or the business is to be performed; or cash payments.

4.3.2 unusually high commission rates or seemingly inflated invoices;

4.3.3 a history of or reputation for corruption in the country;

4.3.4 a lack of transparency in expense and accounting records; or

4.3.5 a close relationship between the agent or consultant and the foreign government or contracting individual.

5.0 CONCLUSION

This Policy contains general guidelines for conducting Calix business consistent with the requirements of the Acts. If you have any questions about this Policy, please contact your supervisor or Calix's General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer. Calix expects all employees, officers, directors, agents and contractors to comply with this Policy.

Calix reserves the right to amend or supplement this Policy, without prior notice, at any time.
