 FiberCore Adds 'Take or Pay' Provision to $28 Million South American Contract

CHARLTON, Mass., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- FiberCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBCE - news),
a leading manufacturer and global supplier of optical fiber and preform for the
telecommunications and data communications markets, today announced that it has
revised the terms of an existing $28 million supply contract with one of
Brazil's leading multi-national cable manufacturers. The main feature of the
revision is the addition of a 30% "take or pay" provision.

Commenting on the contract change, Bob Sebesto, Vice President of Global Sales
and Marketing said, "Even with the slowdown in the Brazilian market, our
customers continue to rely on us as a long-term supplier and are willing to back
up their commitments with guarantees. To compensate for the regional softness,
we have recently increased exports from our Brazilian facility. We have also
begun manufacturing multimode fiber in Brazil to augment our German facility's
sold-out capacity position to help meet increased global demand."

FiberCore, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets single-mode and multimode
optical fiber preforms and optical fiber for the telecommunications and data
communications markets. In addition to its standard multimode and single-mode
fiber, FiberCore also offers various grades of fiber for use in laser-based
systems, to help guarantee high bandwidths and to suit the needs of MAN
(metropolitan area networks), Fiber-to-the Curb, Fiber-to-the Home and
Fiber-to-the Desk applications. Manufacturing facilities are presently located
in Jena, Germany and Campinas, Brazil.
