Luna Technologies and Acterna have agreed to share certain relevant information in co-operation of such development efforts. Each party to the Agreement shall bear its own costs.

Under the Agreement, Luna Technologies and Acterna each grant the other party a license to resell, market, distribute and sublicense the distribution of certain of their products in specified markets and to specified customers. The license rights granted under the Agreement are non-exclusive in certain markets and to certain customers and exclusive in other specified markets and to other specified customers. Neither party to the Agreement has any obligation to purchase products from the other party, but to the extent a party purchases products for resale, the other party has an obligation to supply reasonable quantities of products to meet such resale obligations.

The initial term of the Agreement is through August 9, 2009. The Agreement will automatically renew each year after the initial term for additional one-year terms unless either party terminates the Agreement upon six months prior written notice.
