It is further recognized that important CUSTOMER new product introductions will be underway in parallel with the Transition from CUSTOMER'S Current Manufacturing Services Provider, and that the level of activity may require additional resources beyond what is normally allocated for NPI activities alone. CUSTOMER agrees that all SUPPLIER'S labor, both Direct (DL) and Indirect (IL), necessary to successfully introduce new CUSTOMER products and services will be provided at CUSTOMER'S expense. This labor includes that necessary to create process packages, develop and debug test programs, design floor layouts, implement production lines, procure prototype materials, build prototypes, implement Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), and whatever else is necessary. The charges for these Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) activities will be calculated as total IL hours times agreed upon IL rate/hour, plus total DL hours times agreed upon DL rate/hour, unless both parties agree in advance on a total charge for the complete program. SUPPLIER agrees that each new product design, component selection, and Supplier selection will be assessed for producibility and for cost, and that recommendations will be made for producibility improvement, and for cost reductions. These recommendations will be made as early in the program as possible, so as maximize the opportunity to implement them in the CUSTOMER'S program.

-4-
TERMS PROVISIONS material cost reduction across all products. In the event CUSTOMER is not realizing the [**]% annual material cost reduction across all products, benefits from cost reduction of component materials will be divided between SUPPLIER and CUSTOMER in a way that will maximize its contribution to achieving that goal. This agreement shall be called the Purchase Price Variance (PPV) sharing agreement. SUPPLIER agrees that all material cost reduction benefits will be disclosed to CUSTOMER at or before the time the benefit will impact SUPPLIER. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS, CUSTOMER agrees that all demand will be placed PURCHASING AND COMMODITY on SUPPLIER in the form of Purchase Orders. MANAGEMENT SERVICES CUSTOMER will endeavor to provide purchase order coverage for a minimum of 90 days to a maximum of 180 days of requirements. SUPPLIER and CUSTOMER agree that it is their objective to reach agreement that minimizes the material content that is controlled and/or sourced by CUSTOMER. Such agreement will depend upon terms that support the business objectives of both parties. SUPPLIER agrees to procure all component materials to fulfill CUSTOMER'S purchase orders, with the exception of components that are managed and sourced directly by CUSTOMER, which are subsequently consigned to SUPPLIER by CUSTOMER.

TERMS PROVISIONS the contrary in specific instances. Exceptions would be made for components that have gone on global allocation by commodity, provided SUPPLIER can show evidence that diligence has been applied to mitigate the effects of the allocation situation. SUPPLIER also agrees to provide to CUSTOMER prior to or in connection with the Purchase Orders a listing of all materials that are deemed to be Non-Cancelable, Non-Returnable (NCNR). Notwithstanding such classification, however, the provisions below regarding rescheduling shall continue apply to such materials. SUPPLIER agrees to accept changes in purchase order quantities for the third period of every calendar quarter, provided such changes are communicated before 59 days prior to the start of that period. CUSTOMER agrees that those changes will be limited to the range of [**]%/[**]% of total demand for each product for that period, and/or reschedule of demand for each product for that period into the next quarter. Both parties agree, in the event of a reduction and/or reschedule of third period demand, to endeavor to level load the remaining demand for that quarter across the full three periods. SUPPLIER agrees that CUSTOMER will incur no incremental charge as a result of exercising this flexibility agreement. In the event CUSTOMER finds it necessary to cancel or reduce the quantities in certain purchase orders (in amounts beyond the flexibility set forth above to cancel or restructure orders), CUSTOMER will be responsible for SUPPLIER's out of pocket cost for materials, but SUPPLIER shall use its best efforts, including the full effect of SUPPLIER's global material's leverage, to mitigate such cost. CUSTOMER shall have no liability for labor costs or overhead which are avoided by the failure to manufacture the materials specified in the cancelled or reduced purchase orders. CUSTOMER agrees that expected requirements beyond the coverage of purchase orders will be communicated in the form of non-binding forecasts, and that through a combination of purchase orders and forecast, will endeavor to provide a full twelve months visibility to expected demand. CUSTOMER agrees that any requirements for materials with leadtime greater than the period for which purchase order coverage is provided will be supported on an exception basis with a separate purchase order. SUPPLIER agrees to provide CUSTOMER with timely notification of such situations.

TERMS PROVISIONS SUPPLIER agrees to provide CUSTOMER with a Standard Leadtime Chart, with which SUPPLIER commit to leadtime by commodity, as well as SUPPLIER leadtime commit by component for any component with a leadtime that exceeds its Standard commodity leadtime. It is the responsibility of SUPPLIER to keep the Standard Leadtime Chart current with revisions as required. This information will be used for planning purposes and as the basis for determination of premium responsibilities. Customer acknowledges that lead times of component varies, and supplier will use reasonable commercial efforts to keep updated though it can happen that lead times change with no notice to supplier. CUSTOMER agrees that incremental costs arising from premiums required to procure certain components within leadtime as defined by Standard Leadtime Chart will be the responsibility of CUSTOMER, provided that timing of CUSTOMER'S purchase order did not allow SUPPLIER enough time to procure those parts at those leadtimes, and provided SUPPLIER informs CUSTOMER on a timely basis of the need for premium, the cause, and he estimated cost, and secures CUSTOMER approval prior to incurring that cost. SUPPLIER agrees that premiums in all other cases are at SUPPLIER expense. SUPPLIER agrees to develop and propose to CUSTOMER a sourcing strategy that would allow SUPPLIER to provide [**]% upside for materials availability within six weeks notice, such notice to be communicated in the form of change orders to existing purchase orders. Both parties agree to complete such a plan before the formal manufacturing agreement is signed. CUSTOMER will consider providing SUPPLIER with a separate purchase order to cover materials for which a minimum order quantity would result in cost savings or avoidance, compared to limiting the procurement to quantities supported by CUSTOMER'S existing purchase orders. SUPPLIER agrees to provide information on a timely basis for consideration and action prior to leadtime for those components. SUPPLIER further agrees to minimize these situations by taking their total demand across their Customer portfolio into account to endeavor to realize the minimum order quantity. CUSTOMER agrees to be responsible for all materials procured by SUPPLIER in support of CUSTOMER'S purchase orders, provided such materials were not ordered by SUPPLIER earlier than leadtime as defined in Standard Leadtime Charge and provided SUPPLIER can provide evidence of using best efforts, including the full effect of SUPPLIER'S global materials leverage to mitigate.
