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 confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 Confidential Information, Technology and Intellectual Property Rights, constitute a material inducement of Zebra to enter into this Agreement and that, without such protection, Zebra’s competitive advantage would be materially adversely affected. If, at the time of enforcement of these provisions, a court or arbitrator’s award permitted by Section 9.5a holds that the restrictions stated in this Section 1.5 are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area.

 

1.6 Most Favored Nation . Manufacturer shall not, anywhere in the world, manufacture, package, market or sell thermal barcode printers or thermal card printers, at lower prices, or on better terms, than those offered to Zebra. If such better terms or pricing are provided to any Person, then Manufacturer shall promptly offer the same pricing or terms to Zebra. At its sole option, Zebra may elect to substitute such pricing or terms for the corresponding pricing or terms herein.

 

1.7 Competitiveness . Manufacturer understands that Zebra’s purchase of Products under this Agreement is dependent upon the Product pricing remaining competitive with that of other manufacturers and suppliers for thermal barcode printers or thermal card printers. Manufacturer shall be responsible for surveying the industry and benchmarking contract terms (including pricing, inventory levels, flexibility and lead time for Materials) and shall share all such information (including Manufacturer’s internal supply chain management report) in detail with Zebra during the Quarterly Business Review.

 

*** 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.

1.8 Quality Data . Manufacturer shall submit to Zebra a mechanism for evaluating and scoring Manufacturer’s performance with respect to the Quality Data, consistent with generally accepted United States industry standards. Manufacturer shall monitor, evaluate and score its performance with respect to all Quality Data and shall provide Zebra with a monthly report of such performance, signed by Manufacturer’s Quality Manager, within five (5) Business Days after the last day of such month. Manufacturer shall discuss each such report with Zebra at the next Quarterly Business Review. Zebra shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for cause for Manufacturer’s failure to achieve performance standards under the Quality Data, subject to the same cure period as provided in Section 8.2 .

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.

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 .

  (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.
