and test efficiency/elimination improvements, and Product redesign.
Both Parties are targeting 10% total cost reduction on released and
active products per year for the first three (3) years of a
new Product life is the common objective. Jabil will demonstrate
cost reduction improvements and report such results to Verigy on a
quarterly basis as part of a rolling cost management process with a
twelve (12) to eighteen (18) month outlook for each
Product.

volumes and under similar circumstances and conditions, Jabil
agrees to immediately offer such price or pricing formula to
Verigy. Product prices will be amended in accordance with
Section 9.2 below. Jabil agrees to fulfill its obligations in
this Section in good faith in accordance with Jabil’s
standard pricing models and forecasting tools. Verigy reserves the
right, at Verigy’s expense and upon two (2) business
days prior notice, to conduct an audit of Jabil’s books and
records to ensure compliance with this Section, provided that such
audit does not violate any existing confidential customer terms or
non-disclosure agreements. Verigy agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of any information contained in agreements between
Jabil and Jabil’s Component Suppliers that is disclosed
during the course of the audit in accordance with Article 19
below.

Purchasing
Components from Verigy Contracts . Jabil may procure Components through use of
existing Verigy purchase agreements with Component Suppliers. Under
such circumstances, the Components may be procured by a Verigy
authorized representative and then transferred or resold to Jabil
pursuant to the consignment or Buy/Sell procedure described below
in Section 10.10. Alternatively, Verigy will seek
authorization for Jabil to purchase the Components directly from
the Component Supplier under the terms of that Verigy purchase
agreement. In such case, any such purchase must be at the price
quoted by the Component Supplier, refer to and use the specific
Verigy Part Numbers involved and must be used exclusively for Jabil
performance under this Agreement. Verigy will use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to secure supplier terms and conditions
consistent with those necessary to support the requirements of this
Agreement including but not limited to SMI Programs, Flexibility
agreements and excess and obsolescence liabilities. Jabil shall
identify to Verigy the impact of any inconsistency between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and Verigy’s
negotiated terms and conditions with its suppliers. If the impact
identified has a material affect on cost or performance, Verigy
shall either use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate such
terms and conditions or reach an appropriate and reasonable
solution with Jabil. If a Verigy Component Supplier causes a
constraint on flexibility which Jabil cannot resolve itself, using
Commercially Reasonable Efforts, then Jabil will notify Verigy. The
Parties will work together to achieve a solution with respect to
such constraint.

COMPONENT
PROCUREMENT
|
|
|
10.1
|
Prudent
Procurement Practices .
Jabil will purchase Components to support Verigy’s Forecasts
and Orders and react to support the variations in demand for such
Forecasts and Orders to deliver Products to Verigy in accordance
with specified Delivery Dates. Prudent Procurement Practices
include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
10.1.1
|
Following
Jabil’s ABC classification as set forth in Section 10.2
below;
|
|
|
10.1.2
|
Utilizing
minimum order quantities as defined by Component Suppliers and
economic order quantities as approved by Verigy;
|
|
|
10.1.3
|
Ordering and
buying Components as required to meet Manufacturing Assembly
Lead-times, taking into account Component Lead Times and
Jabil’s internal manufacturing lead times;
|
|
|
10.1.4
|
Utilizing SMI
management programs where possible and prudent;
|
|
|
10.1.5
|
Negotiating
most favored customer terms and conditions with Component
Suppliers; and
|
|
|
10.1.6
|
Exercising
return and cancellation privileges as allowed by agreements with
Component Suppliers.
|
Jabil will submit to Verigy the
Material Requirement Planning Execution Report described in
Exhibit H on a monthly basis. In the event that Prudent
Procurement Practices are not evident, in the event of excess
inventory due to cancellation, termination or demand reductions,
Verigy will not be liable for that portion of the inventory
purchased in excess of the amount that would have been purchased if
Prudent Procurement Practices had been used.
|
|
10.2
|
Jabil ABC
Classification.
|
|
|
10.2.1
|
ABC
classification is a group of items, typically all Components within
the Verigy work cell, in decreasing order of US dollar volume.
Dollar volume is calculated based on the price at which the
inventory is valued (current standard cost) multiplied by the
projected requirement for a given period.
|
|
|
10.2.2
|
The first group
of Components classified as “A” represents 80% of the
total projected dollar volume. The next group of Components,
classified as “B”, represents the next 15% of the
dollar volume. The last group of “C” Components
represents the last 5% of the dollar volume, but can be
approximately 80% of the number of items.
|
|
|
10.2.3
|
The ABC classification is
conducted based on the principle that effort and money can be more
efficiently utilized by applying more control to the
high-dollar-volume class items than to the low-dollar-volume class
items. At Jabil,
|
|
|
material requirement planning
generates planned orders for “A” items with weekly
order cover periods, “B” items with bi-weekly order
cover periods, and “C” items with monthly order cover
periods. This will allow a good balance of resources and effort
spent in managing the inventory levels and financial
investment.
|
|
|
10.3
|
Approved
Vendor Lists . Jabil
agrees to buy all Components from suppliers on the AVL. Use of
“brokers” for Components will require specific approval
by Verigy, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, prior
to use by Jabil. In the event that Jabil is unable to procure a
Component(s) as a result of the AVL restrictions set forth herein,
Verigy and Jabil agree to negotiate changes to the AVL. Jabil will
use standard purchasing practices, including long lead-time
Component management, minimum and multiple supplier order
quantities and SMI programs in order to meet Verigy
Forecasts.
|
|
|
10.4
|
Usage
Requirements . All
Components or other materials or parts ordered by Jabil under
Verigy’s contracts with Verigy’s Component Suppliers
for any Products based on Forecasts are to be used only to provide
Manufacturing Services or Product Support to Verigy. Any other use
of such Components or materials must have Verigy’s prior
written consent. Jabil will have the right to disposition all other
Components or materials as it sees fit, provided however, that
Jabil ensures there is no impact to Jabil’s ability to
fulfill Verigy’s Orders, Releases, Blanket Purchase Orders or
Forecasts.
|
|
|
10.5
|
Component
Shortages . Jabil agrees
to provide appropriate technical and commercial support to ensure
supply of all Components or families of Components (affecting
Products) that may be in limited supply. In the event of a probable
or potential Component shortage or availability problem, Jabil will
immediately escalate the situation to the affected Eligible
Buyer(s). The Parties will agree on appropriate action and
allocation of associated costs. Jabil will use Prudent Procurement
Practices and manage Component supplies to meet agreed flexibility
requirements. Where additional flexibility is required, Jabil will
use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure Components. In
addition, the Parties may mutually agree to operate with a price
part variance dollar limit on a single or multiple Component basis
to procure Components in shortage of supply. For general market
allocation issues that arise for Components, the Parties will
follow the process set forth in Exhibit L.
|
|
|
10.6
|
Purchasing
Components from Verigy Contracts . Jabil may procure Components through use of
existing Verigy purchase agreements with Component Suppliers. Under
such circumstances, the Components may be procured by a Verigy
authorized representative and then transferred or resold to Jabil
pursuant to the consignment or Buy/Sell procedure described below.
Alternatively, Verigy (or a Verigy Business Unit Manager for
contracts negotiated between the supplier and that particular
Verigy Business Unit) may seek authorization for Jabil to purchase
the Components directly from the Component Supplier under the terms
of that Verigy purchase agreement to obtain Verigy Pass-Through
Pricing. In such case, any such purchase must be at the price
quoted by the Component Supplier, refer to and use the specific
Verigy Part Numbers involved and must be used exclusively for
Jabil’s performance under this Agreement.
|
|
|
10.7
|
Component
Forecasts from Jabil to Suppliers . Jabil will provide to Verigy-approved AVL
Component suppliers on a monthly basis a rolling twelve
(12) month forecast of all Turnkey Component requirements.
Jabil will update the forecast least monthly for all planned orders
in accordance with a mutually agreeable forecast implementation
plan documented in Exhibit I . A copy of the forecast will
be provided to Verigy upon request.
|
|
|
10.8

Component shipment should be stored separately or used to
manufacture a specific Order or a Product.
|
|
|
10.10.2
|
Shortage Pull:
Jabil will submit a list of Components to be acquired from
Verigy’s inventory. Verigy must respond to Jabil’s
request within 24 hours with details as to availability and date of

when accounting for the transfer of ownership of these components
to Jabil.
|
|
|
10.10.3
|
Seeding
Buy/Sell: Verigy and Jabil will agree in writing to the terms and
conditions that will govern the transfer of Component inventory to

will determine the standard cost of the material to be transferred
to Jabil. Such terms and conditions are set forth in Exhibit
M .
|
|
|
10.10.4
|
Transfer:
Verigy and Jabil will agree in writing to the terms and conditions
that will govern the transfer of Component inventory to Jabil for
the purposes of transferring the manufacture of a Product from a

warranties set forth in Section 11.1 shall not
apply.
|
|
12.
|
RETURN OF
NON-CONFORMING PRODUCTS
|
|
|
12.1
|
Non-Conforming Product. In the event that Verigy receives a
Non-Conforming Product or a Lot of Products which has a tested
sample containing Non-Conforming Products in excess of an
Acceptable Quality Level as agreed to for that particular Product,
Verigy may, at its option: (i) return the Non-Conforming
Products to Jabil for repair or replacement in accordance with
Section 12.4 below, or (ii) repair the Non-Conforming
Products at Jabil’s expense in accordance with
Section 12.5 below.
|
|
|
12.2
|
Repair
Period. Jabil will return
the replacement or repaired Products as soon as possible but in no
event later than twenty (20) business days after receipt of
the Non-Conforming Product and required documentation from Verigy
or within three (3) business days if repaired by Jabil at
Verigy’s site.
|
|
|
12.3
|
Return
Material Authorization .
Prior to returning any rejected Product, Verigy will make a written
request for a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”)
number from Jabil, and will return such Product in accordance with
the provisions of this Article or other provisions if mutually
agreed to by the Parties in writing and made a part of this
Agreement .
|
|
|
12.4
|
Repair/Replacement Process
. The Product repair and replacement
process is provided in Exhibit E . Transportation charges,
transfer of title and risk of loss for returned Products will be as
set forth in Exhibit E .
|
|
|
12.5
|
On-Site
Repair Process . Jabil
will be responsible for repairing Non-Conforming Products where the
failure to conform to the Product Requirements and/or
Specifications is the result of a breach by Jabil of its warranty
obligations set forth in Article 11. Verigy may engage a third
party to repair such Non-Conforming Products upon Jabil’s
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In such event, Verigy and Jabil will work
together to qualify the third party. Qualification includes the
selection process, technical capability assessment and cost model
review. Assuming the process set forth in this Section 12.5 is
followed, Verigy’s use of a third party to repair
Non-Conforming Products will not constitute unauthorized repair as
that term is used in Section 11.8.3 or modification to a
Product as that term is used in Section 26.4(iii). Both
Parties will work together in good faith to determine whether
Verigy or Jabil will contract with the third party that will be
repairing Non-Conforming Products and manage the relationship with
the third party. If Verigy contracts directly with the third party,
Jabil will reimburse Verigy for all expenses incurred by Verigy for
the third party to repair Non-Conforming Products. Jabil reserves
the right to audit such third party repairs and charges. If Jabil
contracts directly with the third party, Jabil will be responsible
for the costs of the third party to repair Non-Conforming Products.
If Verigy wishes Jabil to undertake repair or replacement of
Products that are Non-Conforming due to reasons other than a breach
by Jabil of its warranty obligations hereunder, the Parties will
mutually agree on an allocation of costs for the repair and/or
replacement process prior to Jabil performing such work.
|
|
|
12.6
|
Line-Down Condition
. Jabil will replace all
Non-Conforming Products as specified above except in those
instances where Non-Conforming Product results in a line-down
condition for Verigy. In the case of a “line down
condition” where an entire Product line cannot ship due to a
problem solely caused by Jabil, Jabil will provide required
resources and escalation as needed to accelerate replacement or
repair. The Verigy Global Alliance Manager and Jabil Business Unit
Director will agree upon the accelerated delivery
|
|
|
methods and time period. Any
accelerated replacement, repair and delivery will be at
Jabil’s expense. Ultimate responsibility for accelerated
replacement, repair and delivery will be borne by the responsible
Party as determined by the Parties based on a root cause
analysis.
|
|
|
12.7
|
Repairs Due
to Component Failures. In
the event that Verigy receives a Non-Conforming Product and the
Parties determine that the defects results from a Component, Jabil
will pass on to Verigy all available warranty remedies pursuant to
Section 11.3. In addition, Jabil will negotiate with Component
Suppliers, at Verigy’s discretion and with Verigy present or
on Verigy’s behalf, for additional remedies outside of the
Component warranty pursuant to Section 11.3. Jabil shall not
enter into any settlement with respect to Component failures that
affects Verigy’s rights or interests without Verigy’s
prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In the event that such negotiations do not resolve the matter to
Verigy’s satisfaction, and the available warranty remedies
under Section 11.3 do not cover the full cost of Component
repair or replacement, Jabil will provide Verigy with prior written
notice regarding any additional costs required to repair or replace
the affected Products. In the event that cost details are not
readily available and Verigy requires immediate repair or
replacement of the affected Products, Verigy will authorize Jabil
to proceed with repair or replacement of the affected Products on a
not to exceed basis. Verigy will assume liability for additional
costs actually incurred by Jabil to repair or replace the affected
Products, provided that Verigy has given Jabil written approval
before such costs were incurred.

will target to inspect existing inventories, remove defective
boards and rework them within one (1) business day. In
addition, Jabil will provide Verigy with a plan within one
(1) business day to determine the root cause. Jabil will
provide updates on at least a weekly basis until the root cause is
identified. Once a corrective action for the root cause is
established, this will be communicated to Verigy within one
(1) business day.
|
|
|
16.3.3
|
Expected yield
process – If the FTPR is below the predicted rate, Jabil will
immediately use its corrective action process to correct the
problem and to restore the FTPR to the agreed upon rate.
|
|
|
16.3.4
|
Verigy’s
incoming quality process – In the absence of a predictive
yield model, if the FTPR is below the agreed rate, Jabil will
