SECTION 2. THE INVESTMENTS

        2.1.     Purchaser's Investment Limits.    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Purchaser severally agrees to purchase from time to time from the Originators on a revolving basis, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein) ownership interests (i) in the case of a Tranche A Purchaser, equal to such Purchaser's Tranche A Purchaser's Investment Percentage of all Tranche A Receivables in an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Purchaser's Investment Limit for Tranche A Receivables and an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Obligor Limit for the Tranche A Eligible Buyer, (ii) in the case of the Tranche B Purchaser, equal to such Purchaser's Tranche B Purchaser's Investment Percentage of all Tranche B Receivables in an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Purchaser's Investment Limit for Tranche B Receivables and an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Obligor Limit for the Tranche B Eligible Buyer, (iii) in the case of the Tranche C Purchaser, equal to such Purchaser's Tranche C Purchaser's Investment Percentage of all Tranche C Receivables in an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Purchaser's Investment Limit for Tranche C Receivables and an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Obligor Limit for the Tranche C Eligible Buyer, and (iv) in the case of the Tranche D Purchaser, equal to such Purchaser's Tranche D Purchaser's Investment Percentage of all Tranche D Receivables in an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Purchaser's Investment Limit for Tranche D Receivables and an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Obligor Limit for the Tranche D Eligible Buyer. The Purchasers' Investment Limits shall be reduced to zero and cancelled on the Facility Termination Date. The Originators (acting through the Servicers) may reduce the Purchasers' Investment Limits on a pro rata basis on any Purchase Date without penalty on 30 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.

        2.2.     Procedure for Making Purchases.    Each purchase of a Scheduled Receivable hereunder shall be made as follows: The Servicers shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Purchase Notice (which Purchase Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, not less than one Business Day prior to the anticipated Purchase Date) requesting that the applicable Purchasers make the Investments in an amount not less than $20,000,000 (or, with the consent of all Purchasers, in an amount less than $20,000,000) and related Receivables Presentation and specifying, for each Originator for such Purchase Date, (A) the aggregate amount, and currency, of the Scheduled Receivables, (B) the anticipated Purchase Date (which must be a Business Day), (C) the related Scheduled Due Dates, (D) the proposed amount of the Investment, and (E) transmitting a schedule of the Scheduled Receivables substantially in the form of Exhibit L, identifying the outstanding amount and Scheduled Due Date of such Receivables and the other information required by the form of Receivables Presentation. None of such Scheduled Receivables shall have been the subject of a prior Purchase Notice unless such Scheduled Receivable has been repurchased by the relevant Originator and rebilled to an Eligible Buyer (for the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that such schedule may be transmitted to the Administrative Agent by e-mail). Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the related Purchase Date, the Administrative Agent shall send to each Purchaser a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M (the "Purchase Calculation Notice") setting forth a calculation of the related Purchased Interest. The aggregate outstanding Investments for a Tranche shall not exceed the Purchasers' aggregate Investment Limit for such Tranche. Any Indemnified Amount then due and payable hereunder shall be notified to the Servicers, which may either pay such Indemnified Amount or authorize the Administrative Agent to deduct such amount from the amount of the Investment to be made on such Purchase Date, and the Originators hereby so authorize such deduction, and the amount thereof shall be accounted for in the Purchase Calculation Notice. Not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the relevant Purchase Date, each Purchaser with a Purchaser's Investment Limit for such Tranche of Receivables shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds in Dollars equal

13

to the Purchaser's Investment Percentage of the relevant Investment by credit to the Administrative Agent's purchase account. The Administrative Agent shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such purchase, credit the account of the Servicers on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts of the Investment made available to the Administrative Agent by the Purchasers in immediately available funds.

        2.3.     Sale and Assignment.    On each Purchase Date, effective upon the payment contemplated by Section 2.2 and (i) in the case of Sanmina Mexico, upon the execution and delivery of a Mexican Deed of Assignment as a notarial instrument and the giving of the Notification appended thereto before a Mexican notary public, in each case in respect of the Scheduled Receivables being sold on such Purchase Date and (ii) in the case of Sanmina Hungary, upon the execution and delivery of the Hungarian Receivables Transfer Agreement in respect of the Scheduled Receivables being sold on such Purchase Date, each Originator hereby sells and assigns to the relevant Purchasers the Purchased Interest in each Scheduled Receivable reflected in the applicable Purchase Notice.

        2.4.     Fees.    The Originators jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in accordance with the Fee Letter among the Originators and the Lead Arranger dated September 21, 2007 (the " Fee Letter ").

        2.5.     Computation and Payments; Commitment Fees.    Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

•         (a)   The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Servicers, deliver to the Servicers a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.

          (b)   The Originators jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the period from and including the date hereof through the Facility Termination Date (1) for the ratable benefit of the Tranche A Purchasers, a non-refundable fee (the " Tranche A Commitment Fee ") equal to 0.15% per annum on the excess of (i) the Purchasers' Investment Limits for Tranche A over (ii) the outstanding amount of the Investments in Tranche A Receivables on each day during each calendar quarter; (2) for the ratable benefit of the Tranche B Purchasers, a non-refundable fee (the " Tranche B Commitment Fee ") equal to 0.25% per annum on the excess of (i) the Purchasers' Investment Limits for Tranche B over (ii) the outstanding amount of the Investments in Tranche B Receivables on each day during each calendar quarter; (3) for the ratable benefit of the Tranche C Purchasers, a non-refundable fee (the " Tranche C Commitment Fee ") equal to 0.15% per annum on the excess of (i) the Purchasers' Investment Limits for Tranche C over (ii) the outstanding amount of the Investments in Tranche C Receivables on each day during each calendar quarter; and (4) for the ratable benefit of the Tranche D Purchasers, a non-refundable fee (the " Tranche D Commitment Fee ") equal to 0.15% per annum on the excess of (i) the Purchasers' Investment Limits for Tranche D over (ii) the outstanding amount of the Investments in Tranche D Receivables on each day during each calendar quarter. The Tranche A Commitment Fee, the Tranche B Commitment Fee, the Tranche C Commitment Fee and the Tranche D Commitment Fee shall be calculated on a daily basis and payable in arrears on the fifth Business Day of each calendar quarter occurring after the Initial Purchase Date, and on the Facility Termination Date. In the event of cancellation of all or a portion of the Purchaser's Investment Limits prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Originators jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the affected Purchasers a commitment fee on such basis for the period from the cancellation through the Facility Termination Date.

14

        2.6.     Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.    Each purchase by the Purchasers hereunder and each payment on account of any Commitment Fee or Purchased Interest shall be made pro rata according to the respective Purchasers' Investment Percentages for the relevant Tranche.

•         (a)   All payments (including deposits) to be made by the Servicers and the Originators hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Purchasers, in Dollars and in immediately available funds to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify by written notice to the Servicers and the Originators (the " Payment Account "), and, unless and until otherwise specified, all such payments shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Purchasers, at the Funding Office. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Purchasers promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment or deposit hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. The Servicers and the Originators shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the affected Purchasers, upon demand, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due at a rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the LIBOR Rate for each such day such payment is overdue.

          (b)   Each Purchased Interest hereunder shall bear interest at the Purchase Rate for each day during the Yield Period in respect of it until paid in full. The Originators, jointly and severally, agree to pay interest on Scheduled Receivables purchased, from the relevant Purchase Date until payment in full of such Scheduled Receivables to the relevant Purchasers, in each case to be applied to the interest accruing on the Scheduled Receivables purchased hereunder during the relevant Yield Period, at the Purchase Rate. Such interest so accrued will be billed by the Administrative Agent to the Servicers on the 3 ^rd Business Day of each calendar quarter occurring after the initial Purchase Date and due and payable upon receipt of such bill.

          (c)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Purchaser prior to a purchase that such Purchaser will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such purchase available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Purchaser is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Servicers an amount corresponding to the amount required to be advanced by such Purchaser. In any event the Administrative Agent shall make available on the Purchase Date such amount as has been made available to it by the Purchasers. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Purchaser by the required time on the relevant Purchase Date, such Purchaser shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate for the period until such Purchaser makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Purchaser's share of such purchase is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Purchaser within three Business Days after the relevant Purchase Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum specified in Section 2.6(b), on demand, from the Originators. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Originators against any such Purchaser under this Agreement.

        2.7.     Requirements of Law.    If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Purchaser with any request or directive

15

(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

•           (i)  shall subject any Purchaser to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any purchase made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Purchaser in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 2.8 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Purchaser);

           (ii)  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Purchaser; or

          (iii)  shall impose on such Purchaser any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Purchaser, by an amount that such Purchaser deems to be material, of making or maintaining its purchase, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Originators shall pay such Purchaser, not later than 20 Business Days after its demand (which demand shall specify in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amounts claimed), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Purchaser becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Servicers) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

•         (b)   If any Purchaser shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Purchaser or any corporation controlling such Purchaser with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Purchaser's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Purchaser to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Purchaser to the Servicers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which request shall specify in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount claimed), the Servicers shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or such corporation for such reduction.

          (c)   A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 submitted by any Purchaser to the Servicers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Servicers pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Scheduled Receivables and all other amounts payable hereunder.

        2.8.     Taxes.    All payments and deposits made by the Servicers or the other Originators under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and any amount of interest, shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes), and (ii) taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing

16

such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) (such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings not described in items (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.8(a), the " Indemnified Taxes "). If any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to (or deposited for the benefit of) the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser hereunder, or on any amount of interest, the amounts so payable to (or deposited for the benefit of) the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, or such amount of interest, shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.

•         (a)   In addition, the Servicers and the Originators shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b)   Whenever any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Servicers or the Originators, as promptly as possible thereafter the relevant Originator or the Servicers, as the case may be, shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Purchaser, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the relevant Originator or the Servicers, as the case may be, showing payment thereof. If any Originator fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, such Originator shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this section) paid by the Administrative Agent or Purchaser and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Servicers by a Purchaser or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, if the Servicers or an Originator, as the case may be, fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Servicers and the Originators, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a result of any such failure.

          (c)   The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser that has a Purchaser's Investment Limit to Sanmina Mexico (i) represents and warrants to Sanmina Mexico that, as of the date hereof, it (x) is registered with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of Mexico as a foreign bank or financial institution for purposes of Article 195, Section I of the Mexican income tax law, the rules thereunder and any administrative regulations ( resoluciones miscelaneas ) thereunder, (y) is a resident for tax purposes in a country with which Mexico has entered into a tax treaty for the avoidance of double taxation that is in effect (a "Tax Treaty") and (z) complies with the requirements provided in such Tax Treaty to apply a reduced withholding tax rate on interest and (ii) will (x) use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain registration with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of Mexico for purposes of and in conformity with Article 195, Section I of the Mexican income tax law, the rules thereunder and any administrative regulations ( resoluciones miscelaneas ) thereunder, (y) maintain its status as a resident for tax purposes in a country with which Mexico has a Tax Treaty and (z) comply with the requirements provided in such tax treaty to apply a reduced withholding tax rate on interest. If such registration is canceled or not renewed upon expiration during the term of this Agreement, or such Purchaser is no longer a resident for tax purposes in a country with which Mexico has a Tax Treaty or no longer complies with the

17

• requirements set forth in such Tax Treaty to apply a reduced Mexican withholding tax on interest, the affected Purchaser may cancel its Purchaser's Investment Limit applicable to Sanmina Mexico.

          (d)   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(a), Sanmina Mexico shall not be obligated to pay additional amounts in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent that such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or any portion thereof have been imposed solely as a result of the failure by any Purchaser (other than a Purchaser that is a Mexican tax resident) (x) to provide to Sanmina Mexico, upon the request of Sanmina Mexico made at least thirty (30) days in advance and if and when required under applicable law, a letter specifying that such Purchaser is the effective beneficiary of interest hereunder, as set forth in the Mexican income tax law or any applicable Tax Treaty or any equivalent administrative regulations of general applicability in effect thereafter while this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, (y) following a reasonable request of Sanmina Mexico made at least thirty (30) days in advance, to complete and file with the appropriate Governmental Authority, or to provide to Sanmina Mexico, such certificates, information, or returns prescribed by any applicable law, rule or regulation enacted or issued by Mexico or any political subdivision thereof or authority therein, or an applicable Tax Treaty and which is in effect, that are necessary to avoid or reduce such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to provisions of any such law, rule or regulation enacted or issued by Mexico or any political subdivision thereof or authority therein, or Tax Treaty (provided that such Purchaser shall be under no obligation to provide any information to Sanmina Mexico which such Purchaser deems, in such Purchaser's sole judgment, to be confidential, proprietary or otherwise disadvantageous to such Purchaser), or (z) to use its reasonable commercial efforts to comply with the requirements, under the relevant Tax Treaty, the Mexican income tax law, the rules thereunder and/or any administrative regulations ( resoluciones misceláneas) thereunder, to have the right to claim the benefits of such Tax Treaty.

          (e)   Each Purchaser severally agrees, in the case of any Originator or New Originator (other than Sanmina Mexico), to furnish upon the reasonable request of such Originator or New Originator such official forms as are prescribed by applicable law, and additional documents required to be attached thereto, as may be required to evidence its entitled to an otherwise available exemption from or reduction of withholding taxes, including under any applicable income tax treaty.

          (f)    The agreements in this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

        2.9.     Indemnity.    Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Originators jointly and severally hereby agree to indemnify each of the Indemnified Persons on demand from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following: (i) the failure of any information provided to the Administrative Agent with respect to Scheduled Receivables to be true and correct in all material respects; (ii) the failure of any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by any Originator under or in connection with this Agreement to have been true and correct in all respects when made; (iii) the failure by the Originators to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with regard to any Scheduled Receivable, the related Contract, or the failure of any Scheduled Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any applicable law, rule or regulation; (iv) the failure to vest in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers a valid and enforceable first priority perfected (A) ownership interest, to the extent of the related Purchased Interest, in the Scheduled Receivables, and (B) security interest in the Scheduled Receivables, in each case free and clear of any Lien or other adverse claim; (v) any dispute, claim, counterclaim or defense of an Eligible Buyer to the payment of any Scheduled Receivable (including a defense based on such Scheduled Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), any Dilution or other adjustment with

18

respect to a Scheduled Receivable or any claim resulting from the sale of the goods or services related to such Scheduled Receivable or any other transaction with such Obligor or the furnishing or failure to furnish such goods or services or relating to collection activities with respect to such Scheduled Receivables or any tax deducted from the payment of a Scheduled Receivable by the Obligor thereon; (vi) any failure of the Originators to perform their duties or obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, failure to make any payment or deposit when due hereunder), or to perform their duties or obligations (if any) under any Contract; (vii) any breach of warranty, products liability or other claim investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of or in connection with goods or services which are the subject of any Scheduled Receivables; (viii) the commingling of Collections of Scheduled Receivables at any time with other funds; (ix) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of purchases or the ownership of the related Purchased Interest or in respect of any Scheduled Receivable or any related Specified Asset in respect thereof; (x) the occurrence of any Termination Event; (xi) in the event any Purchased Interest is greater than 1.0 times the related Scheduled Receivables; (xii) the failure of any Scheduled Receivables to be Eligible Receivables; (xiii) the failure of any Originator to complete the sale and delivery of the goods (or the performance of the services, if any) which are the subject of any Scheduled Receivables; (xiv) subject to Section 2.9(b), any Defaulted Receivable; (xv) any shortfall resulting from the collection of a Scheduled Receivable in a currency other than Dollars upon conversion thereof to Dollars and deposit into the Collection Accounts, as contemplated by the Collateral Account Agreement; (xvi) any action or inaction of the Originators or the Servicers which impairs the interest of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in any Scheduled Receivables; or (xvii) any failure to pay accrued interest hereunder when and as due. If and to the extent the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Originator or an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any insolvency proceeding) any amount received by such Person hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received and the Administrative Agent shall have a claim against the Originators to the extent provided herein. All Indemnified Amounts hereunder shall be due and payable on the date that is 20 days from the demand made therefor to the Payment Account of the Administrative Agent. Any Scheduled Receivable in respect of which an Indemnified Amount is paid pursuant to Sections 2.9(a)(iv), (xii), (xiii) or (xiv) shall be deemed paid in full upon payment of the applicable Indemnified Amount and upon such payment the affected Originator shall be deemed to have repurchased any such Scheduled Receivable. To the extent such payments are in lieu of payment with respect to the Scheduled Receivables, such payments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for disbursement under the Collateral Account Agreement.

•         (a)   Notwithstanding Section 2.9(a), the Originators shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Person at any time for (w) amounts unpaid, paid over or repaid to any Person with respect to any Receivable as a result of the applicable Obligor being a debtor in an Insolvency Proceeding commenced as of or prior to the Scheduled Due Date for such Receivable, it being further understood and agreed that this clause shall not limit the Originators' obligations under this Section arising out of or relating to any other event, occurrence or circumstance which would give rise to an obligation of the Originators pursuant to this Section (to the extent that such event, occurrence circumstance adversely affects repayment of any Investments, plus accrued Interest thereon, during or in connection with such Insolvency Proceeding), or (x) Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party proposed to be indemnified.

          (b)   The obligations of each Originator and each Servicer shall be deemed to be owed separately (v) to the Tranche A Purchasers, (w) to the Tranche B Purchasers, (x) to the Tranche C Purchasers, (y) to the Tranche D Purchasers, and (z) to each other Tranche of Purchasers (if any). Without limiting the foregoing, no obligation of any Originator or Servicer to any Tranche of Purchasers shall be affected by any condition or circumstance relating to any other Tranche of Purchasers.

19

        2.10.     Replacement of Purchasers.    The Servicers shall be permitted to replace any Purchaser that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.8 or (b) defaults in its obligation to make purchases hereunder (without prejudice to the rights of the affected Originator against such Purchaser), with a replacement financial institution; provided that the replacement financial institution, if not already a Purchaser, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the replaced Purchaser shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Servicers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein). Until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Originators shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.8 or 2.9(a), as the case may be, and any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Servicers, the Originators, the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser shall have against the replaced Purchaser.

All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by Sanmina-SCI's accountants and disclosed therein and subject to normal year-end adjustments in the case of unaudited financial statements). No Group Member has any material Guarantee Obligations, material contingent liabilities or material liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the audited financial statements referred to in this paragraph.

          3.4.     Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.    Each of the Originators and the Servicers has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Such translation must be approved by the Mexican court after the defendant has been given an opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of the translation, and such proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated documents.

          3.5.     No Legal Bar.    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate the Organizational Documents of any Originator or Servicer party thereto, will not violate in any respect material to the rights and interests of the Purchasers any Requirement of Law or, except as previously disclosed in writing by the Originators or the Servicers to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, any material Contractual Obligation of any Originator or Servicer and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).

          3.6.     Litigation.    No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Originator, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. C

          3.7.     No Default.    No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

          3.8.     Ownership of Property; Liens.    Each Originator and Servicer has good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property necessary for the conduct of its

22

• 
  

  business, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in or right to use, all its other property necessary for the conduct of its business. On each Purchase Date each Originator will be the legal and beneficial owner of the Scheduled Receivables to be purchased on such date, free and clear of any Lien or adverse claim, except such Liens as are released upon payment to the holder thereof on a Purchase Date of the Investment with respect to the Scheduled Receivable subject to such Lien and Liens created by the Security Documents; upon each purchase the Purchasers will have a valid and enforceable perfected undivided percentage ownership interest to the extent of the Purchased Interest or a valid and enforceable first priority, perfected security interest in each such Scheduled Receivable, in each case free of any Lien or adverse claim. No effective UCC Financing Statement or other instrument similar in effect covering any of the Scheduled Receivables is on file in any recording office (including in Hungary or Mexico), other than the UCC Financing Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent, except as otherwise permitted by this Section 3.8. Each Scheduled Receivable is an Eligible Receivable.

          3.9.     Taxes.    Each Originator and Servicer has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any written assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than such taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Originator or Servicer, as the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of any Originator, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge that in any case would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.11.     Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.    No Originator is an "investment company," or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Originator is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

          3.12.     Accuracy of Information, etc.    No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of any Originator to the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, when taken together with Sanmina-SCI's filings with the SEC, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact known to any Originator that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein or in Sanmina-SCI's filings with the SEC, in the other Transaction Documents, or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents. Sanmina has filed all required registration statements, prospectuses, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by Sanmina with the SEC since January 1, 2006 (collectively, the " Sanmina Reports "). None of the Sanmina Reports, as of their respective dates (and, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing), contained any untrue statement of a material fact

23

• 
  

  or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          3.13.     Solvency.    Each Originator is, and after giving effect to the Purchasers' Investments and the incurrence of the obligations being incurred hereunder, will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

          3.14.     Security Documents.    The Collateral Assignment Agreement, the Collateral Account Agreement, each Mexican Deed of Assignment and each Hungarian Receivables Transfer Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Collateral described in the Collateral Assignment Agreement, when the actions specified on Schedule 3.14 have been taken, the Collateral Assignment Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the relevant Originator in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for their obligations hereunder, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, except for claims that have priority by operation of law. Except as set forth in this Section 3.14, no other documents are required to be filed, registered or recorded, and no other action is required to be taken by any Person, to perfect such security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers.

          3.15.     Principal Place of Business.    The principal place of business and chief executive office (as such terms are used in the UCC) of each Originator and the office where each Originator keeps its records concerning the Scheduled Receivables are located at the addresses set forth on Schedule 3.15.

          3.16.     Accounting for Scheduled Receivables.    Each Originator has accounted for each sale of undivided percentage ownership interests in its Scheduled Receivables in its books and financial statements as sales, consistent with GAAP in its respective jurisdiction. No Originator shall prepare financial statements which shall account for the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as sales of the Scheduled Receivables by the Originators to the Purchasers or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby (including for accounting purposes, but excluding for tax reporting purposes and except as required by law) in any manner other than as sales of the Scheduled Receivables by the Originators to the Purchasers. None of the Scheduled Receivables when sold hereunder will constitute assets of the respective Originator, and the transfer of the Purchased Interests to the Purchasers will not be capable of being set aside by any creditor of such Originator or any other Person (including, without limitation, any liquidator, trustee, receiver, sindico or similar official with respect to such Originator).

Subject to (i) the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers to the addition of such New Eligible Buyer, (ii) determination of the applicable Obligor Limits and Applicable Margin for such New Eligible Buyer by Required Purchasers, (iii) compliance with the requirements for perfection of the ownership and security interest in the Receivables arising from sales to such Eligible Buyer, and bring-down legal opinions, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, and (iv) fulfillment by each Purchaser of the procedures specified in Section 5.17(b), such customer shall be deemed to be an Eligible Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Servicers shall use their reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with their obligations of confidentiality, to provide such information concerning the New Eligible Buyers and their contractual relations with the relevant Originator as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

  •         (a)   In connection with their designation of a Contingent Eligible Buyer as a New Eligible Buyer hereunder, the Servicers shall request the establishment of Purchasers' Investment Limits in respect of such Contingent Eligible Buyer in an amount that, when added together with the then existing Purchasers' Investment Limits does not exceed $400,000,000. At the time of sending such request, the Servicers (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Purchaser is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 15 Business Days from the date of delivery of such request to the Purchasers). Each Purchaser shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether it will establish a Purchaser's Investment Limit in respect of such Contingent Eligible Buyer, and shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to establish such a Purchaser's Investment Limit, it being understood that each Purchaser must agree to establish a Purchaser's Investment Limit for such Contingent Eligible Buyer in an amount equal to its pro rata share of such requested amount for the Purchasers' Investments Limits to take effect with respect to such Purchaser; provided, however , that if any Purchaser declines to establish a Purchaser's Investment Limit accordingly (any such Purchaser being a " Non-Increasing Purchaser " with respect to such New Eligible Buyer), the other Purchasers may agree to increase their Purchaser's Investment Limits in respect of such Contingent Eligible Buyer by an aggregate amount equal to the full amount of what would have been such Non-Increasing Purchaser's pro rata share of the requested increase (no such increase by the other Purchasers being permitted in an aggregate amount of less than the full amount of such pro rata share). Any Purchaser not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to establish a Purchaser's Investment Limit for such Contingent Eligible Buyer and shall constitute a Non-Increasing Purchaser with respect to such New Eligible Buyer.

30

• •         (b)   If the Purchasers agree to increase the Purchasers' Investment Limits in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Servicers shall determine the effective date of such increase (an " Increase Effective Date ") and promptly notify the Purchasers thereof. As a condition precedent to such increase, each Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate (i) certifying that before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date and except that this clause (i) shall be deemed to refer to the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter and year for which financial statements have been made available in respect of the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, and (ii) no Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event exists. The Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule 1.1A (which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect the changes therein resulting from such increase.

            No Purchaser which is a Non-Increasing Purchaser with respect to any New Eligible Buyer shall have any obligation to purchase any interest in Receivables of such New Eligible Buyer. No Collections or other amount payable in respect of Receivables of any Tranche shall be reduced on account of any other Tranche or any circumstance or condition relating to any other Tranche. No Purchaser in its capacity as a Tranche A Purchaser, Tranche B Purchaser, Tranche C Purchaser, Tranche D Purchaser or Purchaser in respect of any other Tranche shall have any obligation to share amounts received with Purchasers in respect of any other Tranche.

            (c)   If the Servicers wish to designate a Contingent Originator as an "Originator" hereunder (a " New Originator "), they shall first notify the Administrative Agent of the designation of such Contingent Originator as a New Originator. Subject to (i) the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers to the addition of such New Originator, (ii) compliance with the requirements for perfection of the ownership and security interest in the Receivables arising from sales by such New Originator, and legal opinions, certifications and documentation, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers (including an amendment to the Guarantee to cover such New Originators and security agreements relating to Collections and related deposit accounts), and (iii) execution and delivery by such New Originator of an accession agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, such Contingent Originator shall be deemed to be an Originator for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

        8.4.     Reliance by Administrative Agent.    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon (i) any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and (ii) advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Originators), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Purchased Interest as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or

35

transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Purchasers (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Purchasers) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Purchasers or the applicable Required Tranche Purchasers, as the case may be), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers and all future holders of the Purchased Interests.

        8.5.     Notice of Termination.    The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Purchaser or an Originator referring to this Agreement, describing such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event and stating that such notice is a "notice of termination." In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchasers. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Purchasers (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Purchasers or the applicable Required Tranche Purchasers, as the case may be); provided , that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event as they shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.

        8.6.     Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers.    Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of an Originator or any affiliate of an Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Purchaser. Each Purchaser represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Originators and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its purchases hereunder and enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or by which it is bound. Each Purchaser also represents and covenants that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Originators and their respective affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Purchasers by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Originator or any affiliate of an Originator that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

36

        8.7.     Indemnification.    The Purchasers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Originators and without limiting the obligation of the Originators to do so), ratably according to its applicable Purchaser's Investment Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Purchaser's Investment Limits shall have terminated and the Purchased Interests shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such applicable Purchaser's Investment Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation attorneys' fees and disbursements) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of, the Purchaser's Investment Limits, this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided , that no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent's and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in its opinion, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or thereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnification under this Section 8.7, this Section 8.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or a third party. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

        8.8.     Agent in Its Individual Capacity.    The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Originator as though such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Person. With respect to its Purchased Interests, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms "Purchaser" and "Purchasers" shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

        8.9.     Successor Administrative Agent.    The Administrative Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Purchasers and the Servicer. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, then the Required Purchasers shall appoint from among the Purchasers a successor agent for the Purchasers, which successor agent shall (unless a Termination Event under Section 7(a) or Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which instance any such appointment shall be immediately effective and shall not require any prior notice to or approval of the Servicer or any other Person) be subject to approval by the Servicer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including without limitation the Security Documents), and the resigning Administrative

37

Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including without limitation the Security Documents), and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent, any of the parties to this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or any holders of the Purchased Interests. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 20 days following a resigning Agent's notice of resignation, the resigning Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any resigning Administrative Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall continue to apply to it with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the liability of each such Agent under Section 8.3 for (and the exclusion from any liability of any Purchaser to indemnify any such Agent under Section 8.7 in respect of) any such actions or omissions that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

        8.10.     Determination Pursuant to Security Documents.    In each circumstance where, under any provision of a Security Document or this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to grant or withhold any consent, exercise any remedy, make any determination or direct any action by the Administrative Agent under such Security Document, the Administrative Agent shall act in respect of such consent, exercise of remedies, determination or action, as the case may be, only with the consent of and at the direction of the Required Purchasers unless unanimity or direction of the applicable Required Tranche Purchasers, as the case may be, is required by the relevant agreement; provided, however , that no such consent of the Required Purchasers shall be required with respect to any consent, determination or other matter that is, in the Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, ministerial or administrative in nature or provided for in this Agreement, and provided that the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Purchasers, without the necessity of any further consent from any Purchaser, from time to time prior to a Termination Event, to release portions of the Collateral from the security interests and Liens imposed by the Security Documents in connection with any dispositions of such portions of the Collateral permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Security Documents or as may be required by law. In each circumstance where any consent of or direction from the Required Purchasers is required, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Purchasers a notice setting forth a description in reasonable detail of the matter as to which consent or direction is requested and the Administrative Agent's proposed course of action with respect thereto.

        8.11.     Merger of the Administrative Agent.    Any Person into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Administrative Agent shall be the successor hereunder and under the Transaction Documents of the Administrative Agent, without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or thereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto or thereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein or in any Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
