By the [*] of each month, non-binding\n     rolling forecasts for the SUPPLY PARTS order for the period of next [*]\n     shall be given to Sharp by UTSTARCOM for Sharp's smooth arrangements of the\n     SUPPLY PARTS.

Immediately upon receipt by\n     UTSTARCOM of the said SALES CONTRACT, UTSTARCOM shall sign and return to\n     SHARP the duplicate copy of such SALES CONTRACT but failure of UTSTARCOM to\n     do so shall not affect the validity of such SALES CONTRACT as provided\n     hereinabove. It is specifically agreed, however, that if any export license\n     or permission is required for the exportation of the SUPPLY PARTS the SALES\n     CONTRACT shall come into effect only when such export license or permission\n     shall have been obtained. UTSTARCOM agrees that due to delay in obtaining\n     such license or permission the shipping date of the SUPPLY PARTS as set\n     forth in the SALES CONTRACT may be delayed and that such delay shall not\n     constitute a breach by SHARP of the SALES CONTRACT; provided, however, that\n     SHARP will ship the SUPPLY PARTS as soon as practicable after the shipping\n     date set forth in the SALES CONTRACT. In the event of any conflict or\n     inconsistency between the terms and conditions\n\n[*] * CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY \nWITH THE COMMISSION.

PURCHASE PRICE\n\nAll SUPPLY PARTS shall be sold to UTSTARCOM at the prices established or\nconfirmed by SHARP and in effect at the time when UTSTARCOM's purchase order is\naccepted by SHARP. All prices for the sale of the SUPPLY PARTS under any SALES\nCONTRACT shall be specified in Japanese yen.\n\nArticle 5. TERMS OF PAYMENT\n\n(a)  At least [*] before the shipping date specified in the relevant SALES\n     CONTRACT, UTSTARCOM shall establish, [*], with a leading and first class\n     bank (such bank shall be changed at the request of SHARP to be made from\n     time to time), an irrevocable and, if so requested by SHARP, confirmed\n     letter of credit (not restricted, unless otherwise agreed upon) in full\n     amount specified in the SALES CONTRACT in Japanese yen (unless otherwise\n     agreed upon) in favour of SHARP available at [*] after the date of the bill\n     of lading or air waybill for the shipment of Supply Parts to be drawn on\n     the establishing bank (unless otherwise agreed upon). A confirming bank\n     shall be a leading and first class international bank acceptable to SHARP\n     and, unless otherwise agreed upon, be a bank other than the establishing\n     bank of the letter of credit. Such letter of credit shall provide for\n     partial shipments and shall remain valid for not less than [*] after the\n     last day specified for shipment. In the event that the letter of credit is\n     to be advised by facsimile, UTSTARCOM shall cause a written confirmation\n     thereof to be air-mailed to SHARP via the advising bank. The said letter of\n     credit shall also include stipulations to the following effect:\n\n     In reimbursement to the negotiating bank by the establishing bank, priority\n     shall be given to the 'debit authorization method' by which the letter of\n     credit shall have stipulated as a Reimbursement Instruction the following:\n\n     'we authorize you to debit our account with you at maturity.' If the\n     foregoing method is not available for some inevitable reason(s), the\n     'remittance method' will be acceptable, in which case settlement shall be\n     made by Telegraphic Transfer.\n\n     Transfer charge of letter of credit, payment commission, acceptance\n     commission, confirming\n\n[*] * CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY \nWITH THE COMMISSION.

UTSTARCOM shall be responsible for any loss or damage to\n     SHARP caused by such postponement or cancellation or failure to establish\n     such letter of credit as provided above.\n\nArticle 6. INSPECTION\n\nThe SUPPLY PARTS shall be inspected before the shipment thereof by SHARP at its\nrelevant factory whether in Japan or elsewhere. The inspection executed pursuant\nto the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to be final and conclusive in\nrespect of the quantity, quality, performance and other conditions of the SUPPLY\nPARTS and SHARP shall be under no liability or obligation (including incidental\nloss, products liability or other consequential loss) whatsoever except for\nthose specifically provided in Article 8 hereof, for any defect in quality or\nperformance or shortage in quantity of the SUPPLY PARTS which have passed such\ninspection. UTSTARCOM shall not be entitled to reject such inspected SUPPLY\nPARTS nor to claim any refund of the purchase price nor to suspend the due and\npunctual performance of its obligations hereunder or under the relevant SALES\nCONTRACT.\n\nArticle 7. SHIPMENT\n\n(a)  Unless otherwise agreed, shipment shall be effected [*] at any Japanese or\n     foreign port(s) in one shipment or in installments by any carrier of any\n     flag subject to the carrier's space being available. The quantity of each\n     shipping lot of the SUPPLY PARTS shall be from time to time determined by\n     SHARP.\n\n(b)  The date of Bill of Lading or of similar document(s) shall be deemed to be\n     conclusive evidence of the date of such shipment.\n\nArticle 8. REMEDY FOR INCOMPLETE SUPPLY OF THE SUPPLY PARTS\n\n(a)  In the event that after inspection executed pursuant to Article 6 hereof\n     any defect in quality\n\n[*] * CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY \nWITH THE COMMISSION.

SHARP shall bear the ocean transportation\ncharges required for its provision of aforementioned parts.\n\n[*] * CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY \nWITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT \nTO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.\n\n                                       6\n\n\n(b)  In the event that UTSTARCOM and\/or HUTS fail to satisfy any of the\n     conditions (i) through (v) above in accordance therewith, UTSTARCOM shall\n     be deemed to have waived all its claims in respect to any defect or\n     shortage in quantity of such shipping lot of the SUPPLY PARTS.\n\n(c)  SHARP agrees to pay the transportation charges reasonably incurred by\n     UTSTARCOM in respect of sending back the DEFECTIVE PARTS to SHARP pursuant\n     to paragraph (a) of this Article. Such payment shall be made by SHARP\n     without delay after the conditions (i) through (v) set forth in paragraph\n     (a) above shall have been satisfied.\n\nArticle 9.

SHARP shall be\n     prepared to supply UTSTARCOM with such parts for each model of the PRODUCTS\n     for the period commencing with the date of the latest shipment of the\n     relevant SUPPLY PARTS hereunder and ending on such date after the said\n     shipment as SHARP deems it reasonable. SHARP may and, if requested by\n     UTSTARCOM in writing, shall from time to time designate at its sole\n     discretion the length of such period and notify UTSTARCOM of such period.\n     UTSTARCOM shall, at least [*] before the termination of such designated\n     period, place with SHARP the last order for purchasing such parts for the\n     PRODUCTS as may be required for the after-sales service of the relevant\n     PRODUCTS during the rest of the life of such relevant PRODUCTS. In the\n     event that UTSTARCOM fails to place orders for purchasing such parts with\n     SHARP by the time-limit stated above, SHARP's obligations to supply such\n     parts under this Article shall cease without any compensation or remedy\n     whatsoever to UTSTARCOM.\n\n(b)  In case SHARP determines the discontinuance of any equivalent model to the\n     PRODUCTS which results in SHARP's inability to supply the SUPPLY PARTS for\n     that model, SHARP shall, at least [*] before the date from which the supply\n     of such SUPPLY PARTS becomes unavailable notify UTSTARCOM of such date and\n     model of the PRODUCTS. UTSTARCOM shall, within [*] of such notification,\n     place with SHARP the last order for purchasing such parts for the PRODUCTS\n     as may be required for the after-sales service of the relevant PRODUCTS\n     during the rest of the life of the relevant PRODUCTS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT \nTO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.\n\n                                       7\n\n\n     cease without any compensation or remedy whatsoever to UTSTARCOM.\n\n(c)  Purchase and supply of the parts set forth in paragraphs(b) and (c) of this\n     Article shall, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties hereto, be made\n     in compliance with the relevant terms and conditions of this Agreement,\n     provided, however, that SHARP may not reject such orders to the extent that\n     the assortment and quantity of such parts are then available to be supplied\n     by SHARP.\n\n(d)  If SHARP deems it necessary or advisable to provide technical information\n     to UTSTARCOM for assembly and manufacture of the PRODUCTS by using the\n     SUPPLY PARTS or for after-sales service, sales promotion or the like of the\n     PRODUCTS, SHARP will do so after consultation with UTSTARCOM subject always\n     to any necessary license requirements or permission of relevant government\n     authorities.\n\nArticle 10. DURATION OF AGREEMENT\n\nThis Agreement shall be deemed to have been come into force on the 1st day of\nDecember, 1999 retroactively, and unless earlier terminated in accordance with\nthe provision hereof or otherwise shall continue in force and effect until and\nincluding the [*]. It is understood by the parties hereto that this Agreement\nshall be, either automatically or with amendment or modification (if any),\nrenewed hereafter on a [*] basis, unless either of the parties hereto gives to\nthe other party at least [*] prior written notice to terminate this Agreement\nbefore the expiration of the initial term or any extended term of this\nAgreement. If such prior written notice is made by either party, then this\nAgreement shall terminate on the initial or, as the case may be, duly extended\nexpiration date of this Agreement.\n\nArticle 11.
