     relevant documentation delivered by Vyyo, is owned by and will remain
     vested in Vyyo.  Title and all intellectual property rights in or relating

8.   Section 12. The following is added as Section 12(e):

             notice to Vyyo invoke a worldwide license to use Vyyo's object code
             including specifically, software object code and object code for
             configuring programmable devices and associated drawings of the hub
             for the product which is being sold as a standard product
             commercially at that time by Vyyo and any other items reasonably
             necessary to allow ADC to manufacture which shall not include
             technical
<PAGE>
                                               CONFIDENTIAL TREATEMENT REQUESTED


             assistance or documentation used by Vyyo beyond Vyyo's english
             translation of documentation used by Vyyo for its own production
             ("Vyyo Deliverables") to develop and manufacture, use, sell, have
             sold and import solely wireless hubs for the MMDS market. If ADC so
             elects, then within ten (10) business days after its receipt of
             such notice Vyyo will deliver to ADC Vyyo Deliverables. In return
             for such license, ADC will pay to Vyyo an amount equal to the
             Royalty Percentage (as set forth in Exhibit A) attached hereto of
             the total sales price for any product sold by ADC with
             functionality similar to that of the Vyyo Deliverables whether or
             not the Vyyo Deliverables are used. The total sales price shall not
             be less than a commercially reasonable price for such product. This
             license is "as is" "where is" with no warranty whatsoever and is
             for the Vyyo Deliverables as in effect as of the date of the
             invocation of this license. Vyyo will provide to ADC generally
             available updates to the standard Vyyo Deliverables (not any that
             are customized for third parties) to the extent that Vyyo owns the
             intellectual property or can through its best efforts attain the
             right to deliver such third party intellectual property without
             additional expense to Vyyo. The updates shall only be for wireless
             MMDS hubs with the same platform as in the Vyyo Deliverables, such
             updates shall incorporate (A) corrections of any substantial
             defects, (B) fixes of any minor bugs, and (C) enhancements and new
             releases to the Vyyo Deliverables that are generally made available
             in the market by Vyyo (collectively "Vyyo Enhancements"). ADC
             agrees not to, and its license from Vyyo shall be interpreted to
             prohibit the, manufacture products using the Vyyo Deliverables
             until six (6) months after the date upon which ADC gives to Vyyo
             notice that it intends to manufacture such products. Vyyo's
             obligation to deliver to ADC the Vyyo Enhancements shall continue
             until the first to occur of (A) the end of the initial term of the
             Agreement without extension, (B) the maintenance fee as described
             below is not timely paid to Vyyo after written notice is given to
             ADC, or (C) any calendar quarter in which ADC fails to purchase at
             least *** of all of its wireless MMDS CPEs from Vyyo. To the extent
             that ADC claims that Vyyo's CPEs are not competitive in price,
             performance or delivery capability the parties agree to meet in
             good faith to resolve those issues. If Vyyo after a reasonable
             period of time is unable to become competitive in those areas or
             build additional requested functionality into the CPE, ADC shall be
             entitled to not include in the numerator or denominator of the
             applicable equation such CPEs sold by ADC which are not purchased
             from Vyyo until Vyyo becomes competitive. In the event that Vyyo
             sells directly CPEs to accounts which have been and are currently
             purchasing the headends from ADC pursuant to ADC's manufacturing
             rights of this Section, those CPEs shall be included in both the
             numerator and denominator of the applicable equation. ADC and Vyyo
             agree in general to discuss the allocation of maintenance fees
             charged to customers of ADC for those Vyyo products resold by ADC.
             For products manufactured by ADC hereunder, ADC shall use its
             commercially reasonable efforts to split the maintenance fee into
             two components. One will be for software maintenance and Vyyo shall
             be entitled to receive *** of said amount. If the maintenance fee
             cannot be reasonably separated, then Vyyo shall receive *** of the
             entire maintenance fee charged by

                                                                       TREATMENT

             ADC to its customers using products manufactured by ADC pursuant to
             this Section. The maintenance fees to be charged by Vyyo to ADC
             shall be paid to Vyyo within 30 days after ADC assesses such fees
             to its customers. ADC shall report to Vyyo all of its subject sales
             within 15 days after the end of each calendar month and Vyyo shall
             have a right to audit applicable books and records of ADC in
             connection with the royalty and maintenance fees. The cost of the
             audit shall be borne by Vyyo unless the audit shows an underpayment
             of more than 2.5% of the amounts actually owed, in which case the
             full cost of the audit shall be borne by ADC.

9.   Section 14(d).  Section 14(d) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety
     -------------
     and replaced by the following:

          d.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vyyo will have no liability or
     obligation, and Buyer shall defend and indemnify Vyyo to the same extent as
     Vyyo's defense and indemnity of Buyer in subsection 14(b) above (and not
     including the limitations in subsection 14(c)), with respect to any
     proceeding or action arising out of (i) modification of the Product other
     than by Vyyo or its agents, (ii) combination of the Product with any other
     item (including without limitation any claim for contributory infringement
     or inducing infringement) if such claim would not have occurred but for
     such combination, or (iii) compliance with Buyer's specifications or
     design.

shall terminate on the first to occur of (i) the date that ADC actually ships a
product to any customer pursuant to its manufacturing rights under Addendum
Section 7 (above), or (ii) July 14, 2002.

11.  ADC Requested Product Changes.  Section 9 of Exhibit C is deleted in its
     -----------------------------
entirety and replaced by the following:

     9.   Design Changes.

     Upon request by ADC, Vyyo will use commercially reasonable efforts to
     develop specific changes and additions, including without limitation an ADC
     custom product router card (collectively, "Modifications") and shall agree
     to negotiate in good faith with ADC for other requests.  ADC will provide a
     Requirements Specification describing the functionality for the
     Modifications as well as the documentation and other deliverables expected.
     Vyyo will provide a timely estimate of costs, including travel time, with
     the engineering fee to be billed at a rate of ******** per man-year to
     perform the development of the applicable Modifications.  Upon ADC's
     approval of the total price estimate for the effort, Vyyo will perform the
     effort and ADC will compensate Vyyo as set forth in the estimate. Unless
     the parties agree otherwise in writing, ADC will own all intellectual
     property rights (including, without limitation, all patent, copyright,

                                                CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

     manufacturing rights to any hardware associated with any Modifications that
     results from the effort, but not as to any underlying intellectual property
     of Vyyo.  ADC may request Vyyo to estimate the cost to manufacture any
     hardware associated with the Modifications and, upon ADC's written
     approval, Vyyo will use commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture a
     timely, high quality product that includes the Modifications and make such
     product available to ADC for purchase on commercially reasonable terms.
     All software associated with the Modifications will be included in the WMTS
     software load delivered with the WMTS from Vyyo and shall remain the

     worldwide license back for all intellectual property rights including,
     without limitation, the Modifications to manufacture a product using the
     Modifications for sale to others, except as otherwise agreed in good faith
     between the parties for any Modifications that include intellectual
     property rights of ADC.  Should ADC believe that the Modifications shall
     include intellectual property rights of ADC, Vyyo and ADC shall negotiate
     in good faith a joint development agreement to discuss the shared ownership
     of the Modifications, the license back to Vyyo, any royalties associated
     with such license, and any other terms and conditions prior to instructing
     Vyyo to perform any development work.

         Prices for Products covered by this Agreement will be based on market
         prices (the "Market Prices") to be established by good faith
         negotiations between the Parties in accordance with Section C.2. of
         this Exhibit. The initial Market Prices for currently available
         Products are subject to negotiation between the parties. A list of the
         currently available Products follows:

                                  Product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
         P2001-1.5W Network Ctlr Package w/SNMP
         P2001-1.5W Network Controller  no SNMP

         P200-EX Speed-Demon Wireless Modem
         P200-SH SOHO Speed-Demon Wireless Modem

       The price for a Product to be sold hereunder will be the
       **************************** (the "*******************"). The
       ******************* will depend whether the Product is intended for use
       on customer premises (a "CPE Product") or at the head-end of a system (a
       "Head-End Product"). Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties, the
       ******************** for Preferred Vendor Accounts will be determined as
       follows:


                             Type of Equipment
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------
               CPE Product                            Head-End Product
       --------------------------------     ------------------------------
                   ***                                       ***


       The ******************** for others will be determined as follows:


                             Type of Equipment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
               CPE Product                            Head-End Product
-----------------------------------------     ------------------------------

                                                                       TREATMENT
                                                                       REQUESTED

     C.  General
         -------

          1.   All prices will be *** Vyyo's ***************** (per Section 4.a.
               of the Agreement) unless mutually agreed upon otherwise in an
               applicable negotiated Annex. Although Vyyo may publish suggested
               wholesale or retail prices, these are suggestions only and Buyer
               will be entirely free to determine the actual prices and license
               fees at which the Products will be sold or licensed to its
               Customers.

          2.   Market Prices will be valid until superseded by new Market
               Prices. Market Prices will be subject to
               ************************* on a quarterly basis, in February, May,
               August and November, beginning in July 2000. Key considerations
               for the establishment of Market Prices will be (1) those prices
               charged by Vyyo and ADC to their respective customers for
               comparable standard products, and (2) competitive pricing in the
               market. It is acknowledged by Vyyo that, in general, ADC will
               endeavor to sell above the Market Price. Re-negotiated Market
               Prices will be reduced to written Annexes, which, when signed and
               dated by both parties, will serve as an amendment to this
               Agreement, and will supersede any earlier Market Price
               determinations.

          3.   All prices are subject to the provisions of Section 3.d. of the
               Agreement.

          4.   With respect to sales of WTMS Products (which bear the Vyyo
               brand), and not CPE Products, by Vyyo directly to
               **************************, between the Effective Date hereof and
               the first to occur of (a) *************, or (b) the date upon
               which ADC first sells product under its manufacturing rights set
               forth in Addendum Section 7 of this Addendum to any one of
               **************************, Vyyo will pay to ADC a commission
               equal to *** of the Net Invoiced Amounts for such Products in
               accordance with the terms of Section 6.d of the Agreement.

The parties agree that obtaining accurate information regarding sales prices
charged by the other party will be vital to the calculation under subsection 2,
above.  The parties therefore agree that sales by each party may be audited by
the other party in accordance with reasonable procedures to be agreed upon by
the parties at the time of audit with the audit being conducted subject to the
confidentiality provisions of the Agreement.

III. DEFINITIONS.   For purposes of this Addendum, the
     --------------
******************************* shall be ***, the Royalty Percentage shall be
***, and the Preferred Vendor Accounts shall be
**********************************************.
