MANUFACTURING SERVICES
AGREEMENT
This MANUFACTURING SERVICES
AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is made
this 30th day of May, 2007 (“ Effective Date
”) by and between JABIL CIRCUIT, INC. , a Delaware
corporation, having a principal place of business at 10560
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street, North St. Petersburg,
Florida 33716, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (“
Manufacturer ”), and ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES
CORPORATION , having a principal place of business at 333
Corporate Woods Parkway, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061 (“
Zebra ”). Zebra and Manufacturer are,
collectively, referred to herein as the “
parties ,” or individually as a “
party .”
A. WHEREAS, Zebra is in the
business of designing, developing, manufacturing, distributing,
marketing and selling printers, including thermal bar code label
and receipt printers, card printers, photo quality thermal dye
transfer printers, RFID smart label printers/encoders, label design
and integration software, supplies, accessories and certain related
products;
B. WHEREAS, Manufacturer is
in the business of providing comprehensive design, development,
manufacturing, testing, configuring, assembling, packaging,
shipping and product management services of electronics components,
assemblies and systems;
C. WHEREAS, Zebra desires to
purchase certain products from Manufacturer, including PCBAs and
Box Builds, and Manufacturer desires to manufacture and sell such
products to Zebra, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement; and
D. WHEREAS, Zebra may, from
time to time, desire Manufacturer to provide engineering, design or
other services related to products under this Agreement, which
services will be addressed as set forth in Section 2.1
.
NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of foregoing and the other promises and mutual
covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Manufacturer and Zebra hereby agree and covenant as
follows.
Article
I.
General Terms And
Conditions
| 1.1 |
Definitions . Terms used herein with initial
capital letters shall have the respective meanings set forth in
Article X. |
| 1.2 |
Appointment of Manufacturer . Zebra hereby
appoints Manufacturer, and Manufacturer hereby accepts, the
non-exclusive appointment to manufacture the Products for purchase
by Zebra, at such times and from time to time as Zebra, in its sole
discretion, may request by issuance of a binding forecast per
Section 4.1 . |
| 1.3 |
Other Zebra Parties . If Zebra provides
Manufacturer with a parental guarantee, Zebra’s Affiliates
shall have the right to purchase Products in accordance with the
other terms of |
| *** |
Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for

| |
this Agreement. Any and all
pricing that is offered to Zebra shall also be made available to
Zebra’s Affiliates.
|
| 1.4 |
Exclusivity . Manufacturer shall not manufacture,
package, market or sell any finished Product, or any WIP,
component, subassembly, assembly or print engine unique to any
finished Product, to or for any Person, anywhere in the world,
other than to Zebra or Zebra’s Affiliates. |
| 1.5 |
Non-competition . Manufacturer acknowledges that
Zebra possesses valuable Confidential Information, Technology and
Intellectual Property Rights related to the Products, that Zebra
derives significant competitive advantage from the foregoing, that
Manufacturer will be exposed to Zebra’s Confidential
Information and Technology in connection with its obligations under
this Agreement and that money damages are insufficient to protect
Zebra’s interest in its Confidential Information, Technology
and Intellectual Property Rights. Manufacturer further acknowledges
that the scope of Zebra’s business is independent of location
such that is not practical to limit the restrictions contained in
this Section 1.5 to specific countries. Therefore, in
order to protect Zebra’s rights in its Confidential
Information, Technology and Intellectual Property Rights, and the
value of Zebra’s business, to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws, [*** Redacted] Manufacturer acknowledges
that the restrictions contained in this Section 1.5 are
reasonable in all respects, necessary to protect Zebra’s

substantially intact until
the Production Line is fully operational and qualified by both
Zebra and Manufacturer.
|
a. Designated
Facilities . Manufacturer shall manufacture the Products only
at the Designated Facility and shall not change such facility, or
product lines within such facility, unless by COA as provided in
Section 3.12(ix) . Manufacturer shall operate all
facilities for Products in accordance with United States generally
accepted industry standards, including with respect to
environmental conditions (e.g., plumbing and electrical lines and

affected Product. Manufacturer shall within twenty-four
(24) hours of the occurrence of such condition provide Zebra
with a report setting forth the status and location of all affected
Materials and Products (e.g., finished goods, WIP,
etc.).
c. Business Continuity
Plan . The Manufacturer’s business continuity plan for
the Services and Products (“ BCP ”) shall
be attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement.
Manufacturer and Zebra shall work together in good faith to
promptly resolve any objections Zebra may have with respect to any
component of the BCP. If the BCP attached in Exhibit
E applies to a specific Designated Facility, then the BCP
for each other Designated Facility shall consist of a similar
document in similar detail with the same approach to business
continuity. As any new Service(s) or Product(s) is added under this
Agreement, the respective BCP will be updated to include such new
Service(s) or Product(s) prior to the first purchase thereof
hereunder. Each BCP shall at a minimum: (i) be designed to
prevent any disruption in the supply of the Services and Products,
notwithstanding the occurrence of any Force Majeure event or other
failure; (ii) specify procedures and frequency of BCP plan
testing; (iii) specify alternate facilities (subject to
Zebra’s pre-approval) and how quickly they will be activated;

Manufacturer in the event of a broad-based failure; and (v) be
consistent with current United States generally accepted industry
standards, and shall be maintained and updated consistent with
then-current United States generally accepted industry standards.
If a problem should arise within such facility, or with any such
Product line, that would adversely impact Manufacturer’s
ability to manufacture any of the Products for Zebra, then
Manufacturer shall promptly (but in no event longer than
twenty-four (24) hours) notify Zebra in detail of such
problem. If Zebra’s supply of the Products is affected or may
reasonably be deemed to be threatened (whether by a Force Majeure
event or otherwise), Manufacturer shall promptly implement the BCP
with respect to the Services and Products. The occurrence of a
crisis (including any Force
| *** |
Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for
confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. |
-16-
Majeure event) will not
relieve Manufacturer of its obligation to implement the BCP and to
provide disaster recovery services. If the Services and supply of
Products are not restored within the period specified in the BCP,
Zebra may terminate this Agreement, subject to the same cure period
as provided in Section 8.2 .
a. Procurement of Unique
Tooling . Manufacturer shall use any Unique Tooling specified
by Zebra in writing to manufacture a Product or perform other

Manufacturer shall promptly notify Zebra of (i) any Unique
Tooling that Manufacturer will need to acquire or manufacture to
meet Product or other Service requirements, and the cost thereof,
and (ii) the cost to acquire or manufacture any Unique Tooling
specified by Zebra. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Manufacturer’s notification, Zebra shall notify Manufacturer
either that (i) it is willing to incur the cost of such Unique
Tooling or (ii) it is not willing to incur the cost of such
Unique Tooling. If Zebra notifies Manufacturer that it is unwilling
to incur such cost, then Manufacturer shall not proceed with the
Services for which such Unique Tooling is required. If Zebra
notifies Manufacturer that it is willing to incur the costs of such
Unique Tooling, then Zebra shall also indicate whether (i) it
will provide such Unique Tooling to Manufacturer, or (ii) that
it will not provide such Unique Tooling, in which case Manufacturer
shall acquire or manufacture such Unique Tooling and Zebra shall
reimburse Manufacturer for the cost thereof as provided in
Section 5.3 , unless the parties agree in writing that
the cost of such Unique Tooling will be included in the price of
the affected Product or Service. If Manufacturer purchases Unique
Tooling at Zebra’s request and Zebra chooses to include the
cost of such Unique Tooling in the price of the affected Product,
Zebra will reimburse Manufacturer for any costs not yet recovered
through purchases where such shortfall results from Zebra’s
failure to purchase the requisite quantity of affected Products or
upon termination of this Agreement. To the extent that Unique
Tooling must be procured from third parties, unless Zebra notifies
Manufacturer that Zebra will procure such Unique Tooling,
Manufacturer agrees to be responsible for handling such procurement
from the third party designated by Zebra. Upon payment by Zebra for
Unique Tooling or, if acquired by Zebra, upon Zebra’s
request, Manufacturer shall promptly provide Zebra with the
Specifications, drawings and blueprints for all Unique Tooling,
whether provided by Zebra or Manufacturer.
b. Ownership and
Maintenance of Tooling . Manufacturer shall own all tooling,
equipment, fixtures and molds not provided or paid for, directly or
indirectly, by Zebra (including all such materials included in
thenon-depreciable costs for which Manufacturer is responsible
pursuant to Section 3.6 ). Manufacturer shall
at its cost take all such maintenance and repair actions as are
required to ensure that all tooling, equipment, fixtures and molds
used by Manufacturer for the Products and components (whether owned
by Zebra or Manufacturer) are and remain capable of producing
components and/or finished Products that meet the Specifications.
In the event that any tool, equipment, fixture or mold used for the
manufacture of the Products is damaged, lost or destroyed during
the Term of this Agreement, Manufacturer shall promptly repair
or
| *** |
Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for
confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. |
-17-
replace such tool, equipment
or mold at its sole cost. For any tool, equipment, fixture or mold
that Zebra pays for through adjustments in the Product pricing
(“ Amortized Tooling ”), if it must be
replaced due to normal wear and tear or at the end of its normal
life, then Manufacturer shall pay for its replacement (and Zebra
shall pay for such Amortized Tooling through adjustments in Product
pricing) and Zebra shall pay for the remaining unpaid balance of
the replaced Amortized Tooling. All substitutions, replacements and
renewals made in or to any tool, equipment, fixture or mold shall
be the property of the party that owned such tool, equipment,
fixture or mold immediately prior to such substitution, replacement
or renewal, free and clear of all Liens. Manufacturer shall create
and maintain a maintenance checklist file for one hundred percent
(100%) of the tooling used to manufacture the Products and
shall distribute an updated list to Zebra quarterly.
| 3.7 |

Zebra; (ii) used by Manufacturer exclusively to manufacture
the Products or to provide the Services for Zebra; (iii) at
Zebra’s request, marked with ownership tags furnished by
Zebra; (iv) promptly surrendered by Manufacturer and shipped
to Zebra at Zebra’s designated facility, at Zebra’s
expense, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or
Zebra’s earlier request; (v) fully insured by
Manufacturer for its replacement value as provided below in
Section 7.9b(iii)(A) , and (vi) maintained by
Manufacturer as provided above in Section 3.4b .
Manufacturer shall not encumber Unique Tooling or other materials
or property or assign, convey, mortgage or transfer any right or
interest in Unique Tooling or other materials or property, and
Manufacturer agrees to execute and deliver any evidence of title,
bill of sale, assignment or other document or take any other action
which Zebra may require in order to evidence Zebra’s rights
in its materials and property. Manufacturer grants to Zebra a
limited and irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an
interest, to execute and record on Manufacturer’s behalf any
notice financing statements with respect to Zebra’s materials
and property that Zebra determines are reasonably necessary to
reflect Zebra’s interest in such materials and
property. |

Vendors . Manufacturer shall use only the Materials specified
in the Bill of Materials for a Product or Service to manufacture
such Product or perform such Service and shall obtain all such
Materials only from the vendor specified in the Approved Vendor
List for the respective Materials. Zebra may add or remove vendors
from the Approved Vendor List at any time upon notice to
Manufacturer. Manufacturer may suggest the addition or removal of
vendors from the Approved Vendor List at any time, but such changes
to the Approved Vendor List shall only be made with Zebra’s
prior approval. Manufacturer shall be responsible for qualifying
new vendors for the Approved Vendor List for Materials for finished
Products (but not for the finished Products themselves), according
to procedures specified by Zebra in writing. Manufacturer shall
provide a data package for all Materials with sufficient details
for Zebra to qualify such Materials at the system level.
b. Manufacturer Direct
Purchases .
| |
(i) |
At Zebra’s request, Manufacturer shall purchase certain
of the Materials directly from a vendor designated by Zebra on
terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and
conditions such vendor offers to Zebra for such Materials; provided
that, Zebra’s vendors permit Manufacturer to purchase under
such terms and conditions. By way of example and without
limitation, during the transfer of production from Zebra’s
suppliers to Manufacturer, Zebra may request that Manufacturer
purchase suppliers’ remaining inventory prior to ordering
Materials from Manufacturer’s suppliers on the Approved
Vendor List. Pricing for this Material will reflect
Manufacturer’s purchase price from such supplier. |
| |
(ii) |
Without limiting the foregoing, Zebra may elect to assign to
Manufacturer some or all of Zebra’s purchasing obligations
and/or rights to purchase, as applicable, under an agreement with a
vendor of Materials, and Manufacturer shall not unreasonably refuse
such assignment of rights and assumption of
obligations. |
c. Consignments . In
the event that the parties determine that consignments of Materials
are necessary or desirable, the parties will negotiate in good
faith the transfer of such consigned Materials, including the
amount of mark-up, if any, on such consigned Materials.
d. Materials
Declaration . Zebra shall notify Manufacturer, in reasonable
detail, with respect to each Product on Exhibit A as
of the Effective Date, whether or not the Product is exempt from
Materials Declaration Requirements. For Products that have been
identified in writing to Manufacturer as subject to Materials

Requirements. Upon
Zebra’s request, Manufacturer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to collect documentation from suppliers on the
Approved Vendor List as of the Effective Date, certifying
compliance with Materials Declaration Requirements with respect to
Materials, the form of which certification has been provided, or
approved, by Zebra (“ Compliance Certification
”). For suppliers added to the Approved Vendor List after the
Effective Date, Manufacturer shall obtain such Compliance
Certification as part of the supplier qualification process
pursuant to Section 3.8a . Upon Zebra’s request,
Manufacturer shall promptly provide copies of all requested
Compliance Certifications to Zebra. In the event that any supplier
does not provide Compliance Certification, Manufacturer shall
promptly notify Zebra and cooperate with Zebra to remove such
supplier from the Approved Vendor List or take such other action
that the parties mutually agree upon in writing. In addition,
Manufacturer shall fully cooperate and render all necessary
assistance to Zebra in its efforts to recover on any claims against
any suppliers related to Materials Declaration Requirements. In the
event that a supplier fails to provide a Compliance Certification,
Manufacturer has notified Zebra of such failure and Zebra has
notified Manufacturer that Zebra still chooses to accept Materials
from such supplier, then Manufacturer shall bear no responsibility
or liability for the lack of such Compliance Certification. Zebra
understands and agrees that:
| |
(i) |
Zebra is responsible for notifying Manufacturer of the specific
Materials Declaration Requirements and any exemptions thereto that
Zebra determines to be applicable to the Product and, as between
Zebra and Manufacturer, shall be solely liable for the adequacy and
sufficiency of such determination of Materials Declaration
Requirements; |
| |
(ii) |
Any information or certification regarding Materials
Declaration Requirements of a Product as well as Materials used in
the Product shall come from the relevant supplier (which
Manufacturer shall promptly pass on to Zebra). Manufacturer does
not test, certify or otherwise warrant Materials compliance, on a
homogenous material level or any other level, with Materials
Declaration Requirements; and |
| |
(iii) |
As between Zebra and Manufacturer, Zebra is ultimately and
solely responsible for compliance with, Materials Declarations
Requirements, including ensuring that any Materials used in the
Product, as well as the Product itself, are compliant with
applicable Materials Declaration Requirements, other than with
respect to (A) the remedies provided for under
Section 7.2b and (B) Manufacturer’s failure
to perform its obligations under this Section 3.8d
. |
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if Zebra determines that any Materials
received by Manufacturer for use in Products (whether directly from
the supplier or in a rejected or returned Product) do not comply
with Materials Declarations Requirements, then Zebra shall be
entitled to the remedies provided in Section 7.2b
.

details to Zebra as such information changes. If Manufacturer
becomes aware that a supplier plans to discontinue any Materials
(by termination or otherwise), then Manufacturer shall promptly
notify Zebra and work with Zebra to place a last-buy order
sufficient for Zebra’s needs, it being understood that
Manufacturer shall place such order and shall keep such Materials
in Manufacturer’s inventory until consumed by Zebra. Zebra
shall be responsible for inventory storage costs for that portion
of the last-buy inventory that exceeds Zebra’s 90-day
forecasted demand in the Weekly Forecast. Such cost shall be
calculated in the same manner as for storage costs for Excess
Inventory pursuant to Section 4.3a . Manufacturer shall
work with Zebra to transition discontinued Materials to new
Materials, including by performing a form, fit and function
analysis, and comparison, of such Materials.

Quantities . Manufacturer and Zebra shall agree in writing
on the Materials that are Long-lead Time Materials or have minimum
order quantities for each Bill of Materials and each Product or
Service. If during the Term, Long-Lead Time Materials or Materials
with minimum order quantities are required for any Product or
Service, then Manufacturer shall notify Zebra of such Materials and
quantities and shall not purchase such Materials without
Zebra’s prior approval. Manufacturer shall keep Zebra
apprised on an ongoing basis of any changes to any such Long-lead
Time Materials or minimum order quantities. It is the intent of the
parties that Long-lead Time Materials and minimum order quantities
shall be a topic discussed by the parties at the Quarterly Business
Review. |

following procedure: |
| |
(i) |
The party requesting the COR shall submit the COR to the other
party in writing. |
| |
(ii) |
Zebra shall include with any COR submitted to Manufacturer
sufficient documentation for the changes to enable Manufacturer to
prepare a COR impact analysis as described in subsection
(iv) below. Upon receipt of a COR and such documentation from
Zebra, Manufacturer shall in good faith promptly (but in no event
later than five (5) Business Days) perform a COR impact
analysis and promptly forward it to Zebra. |
| |
(iii) |
Manufacturer shall include a COR impact analysis as described
in subsection (iv) below with any COR submitted to
Zebra. |
| |
(iv) |
Each COR impact analysis shall include (i) the feasibility
of the changes, (ii) any update required to the Specifications
to implement the COR, (iii) the actual cost of any new Unique
Tooling required to implement the COR, which Unique Tooling shall
be owned and maintained in accordance with Section 3.4,

-22-
| |
(v) |
No COR shall be implemented until authorized representatives of
each party have agreed in writing to such changes or modifications
of the Products by executing a COA substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit H ; provided that, Manufacturer
shall not unreasonably refuse to implement such changes if Zebra
has agreed to pay the NRE Costs and changes in Product pricing set
forth in Manufacturer’s COR impact analysis. Each COA signed
by both parties shall be deemed an amendment to this Agreement
including, where applicable, the Specifications. |
| |
(vi) |
As requested by Zebra in writing, Manufacturer shall rework, at
Zebra’s cost, all WIP and Products that are required by Zebra
to be modified to the latest COA revision; provided that the
corresponding COR was not initiated to correct a defect in
Manufacturer’s manufacturing process and not required by the
Specifications. |
| |
(vii) |
Upon execution by both parties of a COA, Zebra shall issue an
RCN to reflect any rework charge and any changes to delivery dates,
and shall issue such update to the Specifications as necessary to
implement changes required by the respective COA. In the event that
such change results from a problem as described in
Section 3.3 , then Manufacturer must provide the impact
analysis required by this Section 3.12 to Zebra as soon
as possible, but not later than two (2) Business Days after
such problem arises. |
| |
(viii) |
Manufacturer shall invoice Zebra for all costs of Unique
Tooling and any rework costs for WIP or finished Products that are
approved by Zebra and required to implement a COA. |
| |
(ix) |
For the avoidance of doubt, any change in manufacturing
location (e.g., facility or production line within a facility)
shall be deemed an engineering change that requires approval of a
COR prior to implementation. |
| 3.13 |
Subcontractors . Manufacturer shall not
subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement to any
Affiliate or third party, unless it obtains Zebra’s prior
consent, which may be withheld in Zebra’s sole discretion. In
the event that Manufacturer does subcontract any of its obligations
under this Agreement, then the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall apply to all such subcontractors, and Manufacturer
shall continue to be liable for performance of its obligations
under this Agreement, as well as for the performance of its
subcontractors. For purposes of clarification, it shall not be
considered subcontracting for Manufacturer to purchase Materials
from the vendors on the Approved Vendor List. |
