authority upon the manufacture, sale, shipment, storage,
“value add” or use of the Product; and (c) setup,
tooling, or non-recurring engineering activities (collectively
“NRE Charges”).
2.3 Other Price
Adjustments :
(a) Either Party may request
a price change in the event of (i) a change in market
conditions, anticipated volumes, manufacturing time, the
Specifications or Material costs, (ii) currency rate
fluctuations, or (iii) other reasonable factors at any
time.

Absent unusual circumstances,
the Parties shall discus requested price changes every three
(3) months at a mutually agreed upon time and location; the
Parties agree to negotiate price changes in good faith.
(b) For all future business
opportunities excluding the Hungary Products (as defined in Exhibit

savings derived from manufacturing efficiency improvements, quality
improvements and material cost savings. Except as set forth in
Exhibit A-1, any cost savings which are achieved by SANMINA-SCI as
a result of changes proposed by SANMINA-SCI will be dealt with in
the following manner and the calculation of such cost savings
sharing will commence in the quarter following the quarter in which
SANMINA-SCI’s implementation costs were fully recovered:
(a) SANMINA-SCI will retain ** of the cost savings to
the end of the first full quarter after SANMINA-SCI fully recovers
any costs of implementation; (b) the savings will be shared by
SANMINA-SCI and CUSTOMER on a ** basis in the subsequent
quarter: and (c) thereafter, 100% of the savings will be to
the benefit of CUSTOMER.
2.4 **.
2.5 Foreign Exchange .
On the last business day of the second month of a calendar quarter
prior to the quarter of application, the Parties shall establish
the exchange rate (“Contract Rate”) to be applied
to the following quarter’s cost (denominated in currency
different from revenue). Each month of the following quarter,
Sanmina-SCI will calculate the changes between the Contract Rate
and the three month-end exchange rates (“Market
Rates”). If the currency movement is greater than 2% between
the Contract Rate and the monthly Market Rate, Sanmina-SCI will
issue a Credit/Debit currency adjustment representing the full
currency % movement (Contract Rate vs. Market Rate) for that month
multiplied by the Exposure Amount. For administrative ease, the sum
of the Credit/Debit currency adjustments for the 3 months of the
quarter will be netted and settled at the end of each quarter. For
any particular currency, the Exposure Amount is determined by
applying the estimated product cost percentage (including labor,
overhead and materials in the currency different from revenue
invoiced) of total sales (for the particular currency), as
determined by SSCI on the date the Contract Rate is determined,
multiplied by the total invoice amount (for the currency involved)
for each month of the applicable quarter. Note: The source for
Contract Rates and Market Rates is the interbank rate as reported
on Oanda (http://www.oanda.com).

Unless otherwise stated, payment shall be made in U.S. Dollars. The
Parties will work together to modify this Agreement as necessary to
add future Products, Prices and payment terms. The Parties shall
use their Best Efforts to implement EDI and other electronic
methods of processing orders, invoices and payment into their
invoicing and payment processes.
3.1.2 If CUSTOMER in good
faith disputes any portion of any SANMINA-SCI invoice, CUSTOMER
shall submit to SANMINA-SCI (i) as soon as possible, but no
later than the due date, written documentation identifying and
substantiating the disputed amount and (ii) by the due date,
full payment of the undisputed portion of the invoice. SANMINA-SCI

any dispute within thirty (30) days after SANMINA-SCI receives
written notice of a dispute from CUSTOMER. Any disputed amounts
resolved in favor of CUSTOMER shall be
3
credited to CUSTOMER’s
account within five Business Days following resolution of the
dispute. Any disputed amounts determined to be payable to
SANMINA-SCI shall be paid within the terms set forth in
Section 3.1.1 or five Business Days after resolution of the
dispute, whichever is later.
3.2 Setoffs . Each
Party shall be entitled at all times to set-off any amount owing
from the other Party to such Party against any amount payable to
the other Party from such Party, arising out of this or any other
transaction, provided that (i) the Party desiring to set off
an amount notifies the other Party of the desired set off and,
(ii) prior to the setoff, the Parties use their respective
Best Efforts to mutually agree to an alternative to the set off. In
the event the Parties fail to reach an alternative to the setoff,
the setoff shall occur. For purposes hereof, (i) the term
“Party” shall include the Parties to this transaction
and each Party’s Affiliates and (ii) a Party’s
“Affiliate” shall mean any entity that, directly or
through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or
is under common control by such Party, including but not limited to
a Party’s subsidiaries.
3.3 Credit Limit .
SANMINA-SCI’s Credit Department shall provide CUSTOMER with
an initial credit limit, which shall be reviewed (and, if

right to reduce the credit limit upon thirty (30) days’
prior written notice to CUSTOMER in the event of a change in
CUSTOMER’s credit status, ability to pay, or SANMINA-SCI
exposure (e.g., the forecast increases to a level not supported by
CUSTOMER’s current credit status). In the event CUSTOMER
exceeds this credit limit or has any outstanding, undisputed
invoice more than fifteen Business Days past due after notice of
default, and in addition to the remedies provided under
Section 2-609 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in
State of California (and related sections), SANMINA-SCI shall have
the right to stop shipments of Product to CUSTOMER until CUSTOMER
makes a sufficient payment to bring its account within the credit
limit provided. Nothing herein shall prohibit a Party from
exercising any remedy permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code
as adopted in the State of California.
| 4. |
PURCHASE ORDERS/FORECAST/RESCHEDULE |
4.1 Blanket Purchase
Orders; Confirmations .
(a) The principal forecast
and delivery notification method to be used between CUSTOMER and
Sanmina-SCI is described below. CUSTOMER will place a Blanket
Purchase Order (“Blanket Order”) for Products, and the
Blanket Order typically covers a period of one quarter. The Blanket
Order covers the purchase of Products up to the maximum quantity
specified in the Blanket Order. SANMINA-SCI agrees that the
quantities listed in the Blanket Order are the maximum quantities
of Products that can be purchased by CUSTOMER under the particular
Blanket Order and are not commitments to buy any quantity of
Products. This Agreement does not create any obligation on the part
of CUSTOMER to purchase any particular quantity of Products from
SANMINA-SCI. Each Blanket Order shall be in the form of a written
or electronic communication and shall contain the following
information: (i) the part number of the Product; (ii) the
quantity of the Product; (iii) the delivery date (provided,
that the actual delivery dates and shipping schedule shall be
included in the VDS, as defined herein); (iv) the location to
which the Product is to be shipped (provided that the actual
location to which the product is to be shipped shall be included in
the VDS); (v) transportation instructions; and (vi) the
mutually agreed unit price of the Product. Each Blanket Order shall
contain an order number for billing purposes and may include other
instructions and terms (provided that such terms do not conflict
with this Agreement) as may be appropriate under the circumstances.
SANMINA-SCI shall not rely on oral statements of CUSTOMER
employees, as CUSTOMER only places Blanket Orders for Products with
firm quantities and delivery schedules through a Vendor Delivery
Schedule (“VDS”) placed against a Blanket Order.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CUSTOMER shall be financially liable
for all Material ordered to support
4
CUSTOMER’s Blanket
Order and VDS and any discreet Purchase Orders provided that such
Material was ordered in accordance with
Section 4.3.
(b) Blanket Order
Confirmation . All Blanket Orders shall be confirmed by
SANMINA-SCI within ** Business Days of receipt. If SANMINA-SCI does
not accept or reject the Blanket Order within the ** Business Day
period, the Blanket Order shall be deemed rejected by SANMINA-SCI
(and CUSTOMER shall promptly follow up on such Blanket Order to
ensure receipt). SANMINA-SCI may not reject a Blanket Order that
complies with the terms of the Agreement.
4.2 Vendor Delivery
Schedules; Order Confirmations; Discreet Purchase Orders
.
(a) Orders for Products can
only be placed by submitting a discreet Purchase Order or by
submitting a Blanket Order. For Blanket Orders, CUSTOMER will
communicate and update its requirements for Products on a weekly
basis by providing SANMINA-SCI with a VDS. The VDS contains two
columns under each Product number. The column entitled
“Released to Ship” shows the quantity of the Product to
be released to CUSTOMER for delivery on a specific date. The
heading “Forecast” shows CUSTOMER’s forecasted
needs for the supply of Product on a weekly basis for the first
** weeks and then on a monthly basis for the next **
months or such other time period as made available by
CUSTOMER’s end customer. CUSTOMER forecasts under a VDS will
be loaded by SANMINA-SCI in weekly increments in
SANMINA-SCI’s material planning system. The VDS is typically
provided on the close of business on every Monday or the first
business day of a standard work week and updated on a weekly basis.
The first ** weeks on the VDS under the forecast heading
represents a binding commitment as to the quantity of Products
ordered by CUSTOMER of which the first ** weeks may not be
rescheduled or cancelled (“Firm Commitment.”) Provided
the “release to ship” or “forecast” columns
on the VDS are not revised upward in excess of the flexibility
parameters described below, the “release to ship” and
“forecast” columns will roll forward such that at the
end of a week there will be a new binding commitment for the next
** weeks and a new Firm Commitment of ** weeks.
SANMINA-SCI is authorized to ship only the quantity listed under
the “Released to Ship” heading. The quantity under the
heading “Forecast” is for SANMINA-SCI’s planning
purposes only to assure manufacturing capacity and material
planning and procurement and not to be released to
build.
(b) VDS Confirmation .
All VDS shall be confirmed by SANMINA-SCI through the issuance of a
Factory Load Plan (“FLP”) within ** business days of
receipt. SANMINA-SCI shall confirm all delivery dates for a VDS
within the FLP. SANMINA-SCI may not reject a VDS that complies with
the terms of the Agreement. The Parties agree that they will work
together in good faith to achieve the ** Business Day response time
for the FLP as soon as possible.
(c) Discreet Purchase
Orders . CUSTOMER may also purchase Products via the placement
of a Purchase Order (a “Purchase Order” or
“Order”) with SANMINA-SCI. Each Purchase Order shall be
in the form of a written or electronic communication and shall
contain the following information: (i) the part number of the
Product; (ii) the quantity of the Product; (iii) the
delivery date or shipping schedule; (iv) the location to which
the Product is to be shipped; (v) transportation instructions;
and (vi) the mutually agreed unit price of the Product. Each
Purchase Order shall contain an order number for billing purposes
and may include other instructions and terms (provided that such
terms do not conflict with this Agreement) as may be appropriate
under the circumstances. All Purchase Orders shall be confirmed by
SANMINA-SCI within ** Business Days of receipt. If SANMINA-SCI does
not accept or reject the Purchase Order within the ** Business Day
period, the Purchase Order shall be deemed rejected by SANMINA-SCI
(and CUSTOMER shall promptly follow up on such Purchase Order to
ensure receipt).
5
SANMINA-SCI may not reject a
Purchase Order that complies with the terms of the
Agreement.
4.3 Material Acquisition
and Liability .
(a) Overview .
CUSTOMER acknowledges that each of the Material suppliers (the
“Vendors”) require orders for Material to be placed in
advance of the required delivery date for the Material. The time
period between the date on which SANMINA-SCI places the order with
the Vendor and the date on which the Material is received at
SANMINA-SCI is the “Vendor Leadtime.” In addition to
the Vendor Leadtime, CUSTOMER acknowledges that SANMINA-SCI
requires a certain amount of leadtime to manufacture and test the
Product (the “Manufacturing Leadtime”). The sum of the
Vendor Leadtime and the Manufacturing Leadtime is the
“Material Leadtime” or “Leadtime.” The
Parties shall mutually agree on the Leadtime required for each
Product as well as the “minimum order quantities” and
“economic order quantities” (collectively
“MOQ’s”), and these Leadtimes and MOQ’s
shall be updated at least quarterly. On a quarterly basis,
SANMINA-SCI and CUSTOMER shall discuss and agree upon strategies
for managing and/or shortening the Leadtimes, including but not
limited to the placement of contingency arrangements, MOQ’s,
extended periods of purchase for supply, special safety stock
and/or the purchase of NCNR Material as hedging for allocation or
price consideration.
(b) Material
Acquisition . CUSTOMER hereby authorizes SANMINA-SCI to
purchase Material based on the quantities set forth in the Purchase
Order and VDS provided that the Material is ordered in accordance
with the Leadtimes. This authorization shall include without
limitation, additional Materials as are reasonably required, taking
into account any SANMINA-SCI minimum order requirements, packaging
sizes and economic order quantities. In addition, SANMINA-SCI shall
be entitled to order the quantity of Material contemplated in the
A/B/C Classification Process described in
Section 4.3(c).
(c) A/B/C Classification
Process . CUSTOMER acknowledges that SANMINA-SCI will order
Material in quantities sufficient to support CUSTOMER’s
Purchase Orders and VDS. In determining the quantity of Material to
order, SANMINA-SCI divides the Material into three classes,
“Class A,” “Class B” and “Class
C.” Class A Material are comprised of the approximately
** percent ( ** %) of Material constituting
approximately ** percent ( ** %) of the
Product’s total Material cost. Class C Material are comprised
of the approximately ** percent ( ** %) of Material
constituting approximately ** percent ( ** %) of the
Product’s total Material cost. Class B Material are comprised
of the remaining ** percent ( ** %) of Material
constituting approximately ** percent ( ** %) of the
Product’s total Material cost. Both Parties agree that even
though periods of supply of Class A and Class B Material will
be bought pursuant to the table below, deliveries for the supply
will be scheduled by SANMINA-SCI in weekly increments, unless
weekly increments are not feasible due to MOQ’s. A summary of
SANMINA-SCI’s purchase commitments is set forth in the table
below.

(d) NCNR Material .
For the purpose of this Agreement, “NCNR Material”
shall mean those Materials which are non cancellable/non-returnable
at the time the order is placed, and for the purposes of this
Agreement, the initial list of NCNR Material is attached hereto as
Exhibit B and is incorporated herein by this reference. If
SANMINA-SCI needs to purchase any Materials that are
non-cancellable or non-returnable and not included on Exhibit B,
then it must obtain prior written approval from CUSTOMER to add
such Materials to Exhibit B and any mutually agreed changes set
forth in writing shall be considered updates to Exhibit B even if
the Parties do not adopt a formal amendment to this Agreement. The
Parties will meet on a quarterly basis to review and update the
NCNR Material list as necessary. NCNR Material shall not include
Materials which are on order (not yet received) and are
manufactured to the CUSTOMER’s Specifications and, therefore,
become “custom” and essentially
“noncancelable” as value is added to the Material. Once
received, these Materials shall be considered NCNR Material. By way
of example, printed circuit boards are not considered “NCNR
Material” while on order because they can be cancelled with
little or no cancellation charge at the time of the order, but the
cancellation charge increases as the Vendor adds value to the board
and the board becomes customized.
(e) Flexibility .
SANMINA-SCI commits to maintain the capacity to deliver the
Products according to the flexibility parameters detailed below in
Table 4.4. The flexibility parameters define the quantity of
Products above the forecast level that SANMINA-SCI shall ensure
that it has the capacity to manufacture. SANMINA-SCI shall maintain
sufficient production capacity to handle a sustained increase of up
to ** % per week, not to exceed ** % in any month
provided that CUSTOMER gives SANMINA-SCI one week prior written
notice. For increases that exceed the above flexibility,
SANMINA-SCI and CUSTOMER shall agree upon production and delivery
schedules on a case by case basis. The Parties acknowledge that the
commitment described herein is solely a capacity commitment, and
that SANMINA-SCI’s ability to timely deliver the Product
shall be subject to Material availability (CUSTOMER acknowledging
that any “premium” charges by the Vendor for expediting
the Material and any additional costs (e.g., freight) incurred by
SANMINA-SCI to expedite the Material shall be paid by CUSTOMER) as
well as the capacity of CUSTOMER-Furnished Items and/or CUSTOMER
financed tooling.
4.4 Reschedule and
Cancellation
(a) CUSTOMER may delay or
reschedule deliveries in advance of agreed delivery dates as
follows.

(b) Rescheduling . The
delivery of Product subject to a VDS or a Purchase Order (excluding
the Firm Commitment) may, at the discretion of CUSTOMER, be revised
or delayed once for up to ** calendar days without penalty
or cost from original scheduled delivery date based on the
percentages in Table 4.4. However, all Excess and Obsolete
Materials will be dealt with in accordance with Section 4.5.
Any commitment to delayed Products shall be considered met once
CUSTOMER takes delivery of the delayed items. If CUSTOMER does not
take delivery of the delayed Products within ** days, the
Products will be cancelled and dealt with in accordance with this
Section 4.
(c) Cancellation
.
(1) If CUSTOMER cancels a
Purchase Order or changes the VDS, or makes an engineering change
(collectively “Cancellation”), SANMINA-SCI shall use
commercially reasonable mitigation measures and prudent material
management techniques to minimize the impact of the Cancellation,
including canceling outstanding orders for Material, returning
Material to the Vendor, and using the Material for other customers
where feasible.
(2) In the event of
CUSTOMER’s Cancellation:
(i) in the event a VDS or a
Purchase Order or part thereof is cancelled within **
Business Days of the originally scheduled delivery date (or weeks
** (or any portion thereof) of the VDS are rescheduled and
subsequently cancelled), CUSTOMER is liable for ** % of the
current price of all finished Product in SANMINA-SCI’s
possession plus work in process;
(ii) in the event
CUSTOMER’s forecast set forth in the VDS is reduced, CUSTOMER
makes an engineering change or CUSTOMER cancels an Order more than
** Business Days outside of the originally scheduled
delivery date, CUSTOMER shall be liable for ** % of the
affected Material ordered pursuant to Section 4.3 which
SANMINA-SCI is unable to mitigate in accordance with this Agreement
and any
8
documented Vendor
cancellation charges incurred by SANMINA-SCI with respect to
Material that SANMINA-SCI is permitted to cancel and/or return to
the Material Vendor. SANMINA-SCI shall provide itemized detail of
all vendor cancellation charges and the reasons for such
charges.
(d) SANMINA-SCI shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the costs of Excess
Material caused by any such delay or rescheduling. Any Excess or
Obsolete Material created as a result of such delay or rescheduling
will be dealt with in accordance with Section 4.5.
4.5 Excess and Obsolete
Material
(1) “Excess
Material” means the quantity of Material that SANMINA-SCI has
on hand, which has been ordered, manufactured or acquired, based on
VDS and which has no demand in the next ** days. SANMINA-SCI
shall carry Excess Material at no cost to CUSTOMER for a period not
to exceed ** days after the date SANMINA-SCI receives the
first VDS of the current month. To the extent that CUSTOMER has not
consumed such Excess Material by the end of this ** day
period, the Parties shall implement SANMINA-SCI’s prepaid
inventory reserve account model (the “Prepaid Account”)
as follows:
(i) Within ** calendar
days after receiving CUSTOMER’s first VDS of the first month
of each calendar quarter, SANMINA-SCI shall advise CUSTOMER in
writing of any Excess Material and their Delivered Cost (the
“Excess List”). For the purpose of this Agreement,
“Delivered Cost” shall mean SANMINA-SCI’s quoted
cost of Material as stated on the bill of materials.
(ii) Within **
calendar days of receiving SANMINA-SCI’s Excess List,
CUSTOMER shall advise SANMINA-SCI of any Material on the Excess
List that it believes is not excess, and the Parties shall work
together in good faith to resolve any outstanding
issues.
(iii) Within **
calendar days of CUSTOMER’s issuance of the response to the
Excess List, CUSTOMER and SANMINA-SCI will agree on the disposition
of the Excess List at a Material level (hereafter the
“Mutually Agreed Excess”) and shall enter into
transactions to settle the Mutually Agreed Excess.
(iv) Within **
calendar days of the Parties’ agreement on the Mutually
Agreed Excess, CUSTOMER will pay SANMINA-SCI the amount equal to
the Mutually Agreed Excess. SANMINA-SCI will deposit these funds in
the CUSTOMER’s Prepaid Account.
(v) Beginning with the
initial calendar month of this Agreement, the Parties shall use the
processes outlined in this Section each calendar month. After the
new Mutually Agreed Excess is determined, the Parties will compare
funding required versus the amount in the Prepaid Account and
determine if there is a shortfall or overage. Thereafter, within
** calendar days, the Parties will fund the
difference.
(vi) Excess Material shall be
kept in the Prepaid Account for a maximum period of **
months, at which time such Excess Material will be deemed to be
either scrap or Obsolete Material, unless otherwise mutually agreed
by the Parties. Once Excess Material is deemed to be
9
scrap or Obsolete Material,
it shall be resolved pursuant to the process set forth in
Section 4.5(2).
(2) “Obsolete
Material” means: the quantity of Material that SANMINA-SCI
has on hand, which has been ordered, manufactured or acquired,
based on preceding VDS which SANMINA-SCI no longer requires based
on CUSTOMER’s announcement or notification of the following:
(i) Formal announcement of End of Life (“EOL”) or
(ii) a change in specification of Engineering Change Notice.
Within ** Business Days of notice, CUSTOMER shall issue to
SANMINA-SCI an Order for all Obsolete Material. SANMINA-SCI shall
invoice CUSTOMER for the Delivered Cost of the Obsolete Material
**. CUSTOMER shall pay SANMINA-SCI’s its Delivered Cost for
Obsolete Material invoice within ** Business Days of the
date of invoice. SANMINA-SCI will ship the Obsolete Material or
dispose of same per the CUSTOMER’s instructions.
4.6 Supplier Managed
Inventory Program . The Parties acknowledge that SANMINA-SCI
offers a Supplier Managed Inventory Program (“SMI
Program”). If the Parties desire to use the SMI Program, the
Parties will mutually agree on the terms of the SMI Program and
amend or supplement this Agreement accordingly.

Section 7 (Warranty)) shall be FCA (Incoterms 2000)
SANMINA-SCI’s facility of manufacture (or repair). Title to
and risk of loss or damage to the Product shall pass to CUSTOMER

accordance with Section 5.1. SANMINA-SCI shall use its Best
Efforts to give CUSTOMER advance notice of any prospective failure
to ship Product in time to meet the committed delivery date
specified in any Purchase Order or VDS. SANMINA-SCI will use its
Best Efforts to meet agreed delivery dates and, in the event the
failure to timely deliver the Product is due to SANMINA-SCI’s
delay, as CUSTOMER’s sole remedy for delayed delivery,
SANMINA-SCI will bear the cost of any reasonable premium freight
charges, Material expediting fees, and overtime labor necessarily
incurred by SANMINA-SCI to mitigate the impact on CUSTOMER of
actual or impending late deliveries. In the event the failure to
timely deliver the Product is not due to SANMINA-SCI’s delay,
CUSTOMER shall be responsible for these charges.
5.3 Acceptance.
Acceptance of the Product shall occur no later than twenty
(20) days after shipment of Product and shall be based solely
on whether the Product passes a mutually agreeable acceptance test
procedure or inspection designed to demonstrate compliance with the
Manufacturing Specifications. Product cannot be rejected based on
criteria that were unknown to SANMINA-SCI or based on test
procedures that SANMINA-SCI has not approved or does not conduct.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Product shall be deemed
accepted if not rejected within this twenty-day period. Once a
Product is accepted, all Product returns shall be handled in
accordance with Section 7 (Warranty). Prior to returning any
rejected Product, CUSTOMER shall obtain an Authorized Return
Material (“RMA”) number from SANMINA-SCI, and shall
return such Product in accordance with SANMINA-SCI’s
instructions; CUSTOMER shall specify the reason for such rejection
in all RMA’s. In the event a Product is rejected, SANMINA-SCI
shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any defect which led to
such rejection.
