plants may purchase Products, materials, replacements and repair
and refurbishment services (collectively "Products and Services")
from BROCADE set forth in this Agreement. All other companies

parties’ own license agreement) under which each End User
Customer agrees (a) to operate and use the Software for its
own internal business purposes, in the form of object code only,
without the right to further license or sublicense, (b) not to
reverse assemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer the Software
in whole or in part, except as specifically permitted by law. EMC

right to (i) modify or adapt the Software for other products
or create derivative works of the Software, (ii) decompile,
reverse engineer, or disassemble the Software for purposes of
designing similar products, or (iii) use or distribute the

the Products. 4.2.3 EMC agrees that the foregoing licenses
do not grant any title or other right of ownership to the Software
and that BROCADE owns and shall continue to own all right, title
and interest in and to the Software. 4.2.4 Upon any
termination or expiration of this Agreement, EMC’s rights set
forth in this Section 4.2 shall terminate except as follows:

mark only during the term of this Agreement, only in connection
with its manufacture, distribution and support of the Product for
EMC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and only in
accordance with EMC’s written guidelines for such usage.
BROCADE shall not use any such EMC marks in connection with any
business conducted by BROCADE other than dealings with the Products
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. BROCADE agrees that
its use of the EMC marks shall not create in its favor any right,
title or interest therein and acknowledges EMC’s exclusive
right, title and interest thereto. BROCADE agrees that it will not

7.3 Purchase Orders — Drop Ship Process and Standard
Purchasing Process 7.3.1 Procedures for Submission. EMC
shall submit a written or electronic purchase order or Sales Order
Releases for all Product(s) ordered from BROCADE. Purchase orders
or Sales Order Releases shall specify EMC’s part numbers and
total dollar amount. The actual shipping destination will be
specified on EMC’s Sales Order Release. For EMC purchase
orders or Sales Order Releases for quantities of Product(s) within
BROCADE’s supply commitment, BROCADE shall accept such
purchase orders or Sales Order Releases at lead-time, provided such
purchase orders or Sales Order Releases comply with the terms of
this Agreement. Sales Order Releases in excess of BROCADE’s
supply commitment will be fulfilled on a commercial efforts basis.
In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and the terms and conditions of EMC’s purchase order or Sales
Order Release, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. Any
additional terms contained in EMC’s purchase orders or Sales
Order Release or BROCADE’s order acknowledgements shall not
be binding unless accepted by the other party in writing.
Additional procedures and requirements for order processing and
fulfillment are specified in the mutually agreed to SOP.
7.3.2 Shipping Products. BROCADE will deliver Product(s)
only upon receipt of EMC’s Sales Order Releases or standard
purchase orders and within lead-times specified in mutually agreed
to SOP. 7.3.3 Supply Flexibility 7.3.3.1 Sales Order
Release. EMC shall have the right to request to cancel or
reschedule prior to shipment of any Sales Order Release. Any
accepted cancellation or rescheduling shall be without cost or
charge of any kind to EMC, provided that if cancellations exceed
acceptable levels, the parties will work together to reduce the
number of cancellations. 7.3.3.2 Purchase orders and DSRs
liability. If EMC’s reschedule request moves Product outside
of EMC’s current fiscal quarter, the maximum dollar value as
committed by BROCADE during the last month of EMC’s Quarter
will determine EMC’s purchase liability prior to
BROCADE’s end of quarter. Any liability will be documented,
and the specific remedy for such liability will be agreed to by the
parties within fourteen (14) days after EMC’s end of
quarter. All notices of changes will be communicated in writing via
the DSR. The dollar value of Products rescheduled out of
EMC’s fiscal quarter may not be subsequently moved or
cancelled. 7.3.3.3 Supply Reserve. EMC will request and BROCADE
shall commit to next quarter pipeline material that will be made
available prior to EMC’s end of quarter. Said pipeline will
be communicated via DSR. EMC’s liability for requested and
BROCADE committed next quarter pipeline shall be limited to [**] %
of the dollar value of the maximum dollar value in the third month
of EMC’s quarter, with exception of mutually agreed to end of
life Products.

7.3.4 Communications Regarding Orders. Purchase order
numbers shall be referenced on all correspondence, invoicing, and
packing slips relating to each order. 7.4 Purchase Orders
— Kanban Process 7.4.1 KanBan Order Process. The
KanBan order, delivery and reschedule process (the "KanBan
Process") established herein shall be in addition to and an
alternative to the Standard Process. EMC may order Products for
placement into a BROCADE Consignment KanBan (as defined below)
subject to issuance of Quarterly Purchase Orders and Release
Notices (each as defined below); in which case the procedures set
forth below shall apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, EMC may continue to order Products pursuant to the order
process in Section 7.3, provided that a sixty (60) day
(or less if agreed to by the parties) advance notification in
writing is provided to BROCADE. (a) A "KanBan" shall be a
supply of Products in a fixed lot size as defined by EMC’s
"KanBan Calculator Report". EMC may increase BROCADE’s
Consignment KanBan inventory level above the quantities calculated
by the KanBan Calculator Report solely as required to fulfill
EMC’s remaining current quarter material requirements
planning demand. Such increases will be made via False Pull Notices
communicated to BROCADE. The KanBan Calculator Report uses the
following formula to determine bin size: [1.5(LT)(ADD) + SS(ADD)] /
EOQ, where LT = Lead Time which is made up of BROCADE process time
plus Transit time. BROCADE process time is defined as the time from
when BROCADE receives the replenishment notice until the time
Product is on BROCADE dock to be picked up by the carrier. Transit
time is the time from carrier pick up to delivery at EMC’s
dock. ADD = Average Daily Demand is EMC’s quarterly demand
quantity divided by 60 business days. SS = Safety Stock, a
pre-determined number that EMC may decide to add. Currently Safety
Stock is .5. EMC agrees that the SS number will not increase
without BROCADE’s mutual consent. EOQ = Economic Order
Quantity is determined by a specific calculation of pallet size and
shipping economies.) Products to be stocked in: BROCADE
Consignment KanBan - BROCADE owned Products that are provided
to EMC for storage in one of the BROCADE Consignment KanBan Sites
for the purpose of on-demand fulfillment of EMC’s
requirements for Products. A "BROCADE Consignment KanBan Site"
shall mean the warehouse locations identified in mutually agreed to
SOP. (b) EMC will establish a quarterly purchase order and
BROCADE will deliver products as detailed in EMC’s KanBan
Calculator Report to the BROCADE EMC/Brocade Confidential
OEM Purchase Agreement
9
Consignment KanBan sites within [**] of receipt of EMC’s
written authorization to do so. EMC will maintain a minimum of [**]
of purchase order coverage. EMC will also issue a DSR which will
include EMC’s demand that will match EMC’s Purchase
order coverage. BROCADE will fill in its supply commitment and
return the DSR to EMC within [**]Business Days. BROCADE will make
material available to support its supply commitment within the
KanBan replenishment lead times detailed in Paragraph 7.4.1(c)
below regardless of the quantity of products actually Pulled
through this KanBan Process. BROCADE will be measured on making
material available per EMC’s DSR demand and actual release
notice fulfillment lead times. EMC will communicate changes to its
demand via the DSR and update its purchase orders to match the DSR
within [**] day of changes to the DSR demand. BROCADE will respond
to DSR demand changes within a maximum of [**] Business Days.
BROCADE will provide weekly supply updates via the DSR between 8pm
ET Friday and 12:00 noon ET each Monday that will include any
changes to BROCADE’s supply commitments and actual "make
available" quantities from the previous week. BROCADE will promptly
communicate any changes in supply commitments via the DSR.
EMC’s liability is limited to the following which shall
supercede the cancellation terms set forth in Section 7.3.3.2
above, when the parties are utilizing the KanBan process: [**] % of
purchase price for Products located in BROCADE’s Consignment
KanBans and replenishment notices in process that do not exceed the
KanBan Calculator Report, which Products BROCADE is unable to
reallocate to another customer using commercially reasonable
efforts. EMC’s cancellation fee for such Products shall be
calculated using the purchase price in effect as of the date that
such Products were added to the BROCADE Consignment KanBan. BROCADE
will use commercially reasonable efforts to reallocate these
Products and EMC will not be charged a cancellation fee if BROCADE
is successful. EMC purchase liability is limited to [**]% of EMC
unique labels and manuals that are beyond the BROCADE Consignment
KanBan quantities and within [**] calendar days of EMC’s
purchase order delivery date. EMC has no purchase liability beyond
[**] calendar days of EMC’s purchase order delivery date. In
the event that EMC’s KanBan Calculator Report reduces the
total amount of Products required in the BROCADE Consignment
KanBan, then the excess in will be stated in sheet 2 of the KanBan
Calculator Report. EMC will be liable for the excess Products
detailed in sheet 2 of the KanBan Calculator Report, per terms
established above.

(c) EMC may remove only complete KanBans from a BROCADE
Consignment KanBan and shall thereby take delivery and possession
of the applicable KanBan to support its customer demand. EMC is not
required to take delivery of BROCADE Consigned KanBans until EMC
has a customer sales order demand for such Products. EMC shall Pull
KanBans from the BROCADE Consignment KanBan on a first-in first-out
basis. EMC shall notify BROCADE within one (1) day after EMC
physically removes a complete KanBan from a BROCADE Consignment
KanBan (each such occurrence a "Pull"), and such notice shall be
deemed a non-cancelable release order for replacement KanBans
("Release Notice"). EMC notification will be sent to BROCADE by
12:00 noon Eastern time every day as needed. The parties agree that
pull notifications will be sent two times per day during the last
five business days of BROCADE’s fiscal quarter, one by 12:00
noon Eastern time and one by 5 pm Eastern time. If EMC pulls
material from the BROCADE Consignment KanBan during the last day of
BROCADE’s fiscal quarter, notification will be sent per the
