NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for mutually beneficial consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Company and Supplier agree as follows:
Section I — OPERATIONAL TERMS
ARTICLE 1 - TERM OF AGREEMENT
1.1   The effective period of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, continue in effect thereafter for a period of three (3) years (“Initial Term”). After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive periods of twelve (12) months each (each a “Renewal Term”). The Initial Term, as it may be extended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Term.” All defined terms are as set forth in individual provisions in this Agreement.
1.2   At any time following the Initial Term, Company may terminate this Agreement upon not less than 90 days prior written notice to Supplier.

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
    Company, in order to help minimize any potential disruption in the continuity of supply. In the event that such transfer is the result of a termination notice pursuant to Article 1.2 and such transfer is not completed by the termination date pursuant to Article 1.2, the parties shall, acting reasonably and in good faith, agree to continue to cooperate fully to effect the transfer and extend the Term of this Agreement on such appropriate terms as the parties may agree for one or more ninety (90) day periods (the succession of which must be notified to Supplier in writing within 30 days of the expiration of the first ninety (90) day period and within the same timeframe for each period thereafter), until such time as the transfer is completed.
 
1.4   Any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any outstanding obligations or payments due hereunder prior to such termination or expiration, nor shall it prejudice any other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement for events, actions or occurrences prior to such date.
 
1.5   Parties agree that Agreement No. HO32030018 terminates on the Effective Date.
ARTICLE 2 - BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
2.1   Company and Supplier acknowledge that a strategic relationship is required in order to insure the ongoing continuity of supply and service to Company’s end customers. To that end, both parties agree to establish a Strategic Alliance Team, which will meet quarterly, coinciding with the Quarterly Performance Review Process, as described in Article 27 QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE REVIEW PROCESS. In addition, Supplier shall appoint a senior operations executive and the parties shall agree on a governance model for managing the relationship including accountability metrics that the senior operations executive shall meet for Company and Supplier.
2.2   Both parties agree that the appointees to the Strategic Alliance Team will have the following expertise: 1) business or sales management, financial management and accounting; 2) process / product engineering; 3) product development and new product introduction; 4) order processing and fulfillment; 5) demand forecasting; 6) materials management; 7) warehousing and logistics (including global trade issues); 8) quality; 9) environmental health and safety; and 10) information systems and e-commerce.
2.3   Parties agree to seek best in class supply chain costs through a total cost of ownership business model that includes operating and capital expenses. Furthermore, both parties agree that it will be the responsibility of the Strategic Alliance Team to establish and document detailed process and information flows, procedures and guidelines applicable to the process management required to facilitate timely delivery of Products, Commercially Purchased Items and Services as described in this Agreement.
2.4   It is the intention of the parties that the relationship between Supplier and Company shall be that of an independent third-party supplier. Neither party intends to create a partnership, joint venture or legal entity of any kind, implied or direct.
2.5   Each party shall be entirely responsible for its own costs associated with participating in the activities described in this Article.

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
ARTICLE 3 - PRODUCTS, COMMERCIALLY PURCHASED ITEMS, MATERIAL, AND SERVICES
3.1   The term “Product(s)” means various types of telecommunications equipment including printed circuit board assemblies, wired equipment assemblies, sub-systems, kits, and complete systems of Company’s design and Supplier’s manufacture.
 
3.2   The term “Commercially Purchased Items” means various types of third party components, cables, cable assemblies and other products for which Supplier adds no value but purchases solely for resale to Company.
 
3.3   Products and Commercially Purchased Items shall be identified by Company’s part number as defined in the Specifications.
 
3.4   The term “Material” means the items specified in Company’s bill of material (“BOM”) for each Product.
 
3.5   The term “Services” means design, engineering, repair, prototyping or other services Company may purchase from Supplier from time to time as described in more detail in Company’s Orders. Supplier shall perform all Services in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Service fees shown in this Agreement, or if no Service fees exists, at a mutually agreed to price.
 
3.6   Company may elect to manufacture on its own behalf and/or purchase from other suppliers the Products, Commercially Purchased Items, or Services of this Agreement subject to the Requirements Obligation defined in Attachment J.
 
3.7   At no time shall Supplier sell Products or provide Services related to Products to any other customer other than Company except as defined in Article 58 ORDERING COMPANIES AND SUPPLIER ENTITIES. This restriction shall be deemed a continuing obligation after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Supplier shall be under no restriction or limitation with regard to performing any services or manufacturing any product for a third party customer of Supplier whose product may have common attributes and similarities to Company Products, or have equivalent form, features and functionality so long as such sales of third party customer product are not “Products” as defined under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 4 - SUPPLIER COMPENSATION
4.1   For Products it is manufacturing as of the Effective Date, Supplier agrees to reduce the price in effect as of the Effective Date by [ *** ] and [ *** ]. Supplier shall propose, for Company’s approval, a financially neutral solution to establish a calendar quarter schedule for the quarter over quarter (QoQ) price reductions. After the price reductions stated above have taken place, Supplier agrees to provide subsequent QoQ price reductions of at least [ *** ] per quarter for the following four quarters and [ *** ] per quarter for the remaining quarters of the Initial Term. All Product price reductions are net of any amounts that the parties have agreed shall be amortized in the price of any Product.

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
4.2   For Products that will be transferred to Supplier during the Initial Term, Company shall provide to Supplier the initial proposed price of the Product and certain to be agreed manufacturing cost data, including the BOM cost, for Supplier to validate the initial price. Should Supplier not agree to Company’s proposed initial price, Supplier shall propose a revised initial price and justification for the change for the parties to negotiate in good faith prior to commencing with the transfer of the Product. Following the transfer, Supplier agrees to reduce the initial price agreed to by the parties by [ *** ]([ *** ] for data networking), and to subsequent reductions of [ *** ], [ *** ] and [ ***] per quarter respectively. The initial price reduction of [ *** ] ([ *** ] for data networking) for a transferred Product shall be effective the date Supplier begins to manufacture and ship the transferred Product from its site. Supplier shall propose, for Company’s approval, a financially neutral solution to establish a calendar quarter schedule for price reductions following the initial price reduction. After the price reductions for the first four quarters have taken place, Supplier agrees to provide subsequent QoQ price reductions of a minimum [ *** ] per quarter for the following four quarters and a minimum of [ *** ] per quarter for the remaining quarters of the Initial Term.
4.3   The QoQ Product price reductions provided in Article 4.1 and 4.2 are not contingent on Company’s buy down of Supplier’s inventory. Any inventory sold by Company to Supplier for use in manufacture of Product will be sold at the then current market value.
4.4   Supplier acknowledges that the [ *** ] and [ *** ] minimum QoQ price reductions outlined in Articles 4.1 and 4.2 may be insufficient for Company to remain competitive and agrees to review with Company, on or about 6 months prior to year 2 and year 3 of the Initial Term, its minimum QoQ price reductions and will negotiate in good faith its QoQ price reduction commitments for years 2 and year 3 consistent with the then current market price erosion curve for the Products.
4.5   Except for new Products priced according to Article 4.8, reductions in the unit cost of the Product realized through: 1) price negotiations with Material vendors whether conducted by Company or Supplier, 2) expansion of approved vendor list (“AVL”) or drop-in component substitutions whether suggested by Company or Supplier unless such suggestion was included in Company’s formalized cost reduction plans but not implemented prior to the Effective Date, 3) reductions in Supplier’s transformation cost, and 4) reductions in Company’s landed cost through Supplier’s efforts are included in Supplier’s agreed to QoQ price reductions in Articles 4.1 and 4.2 and no further incremental Product price reductions will result from these activities unless mutually agreed to by the parties.

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
4.6   Company and Supplier will form design for cost reduction teams for each Product line with the objective of meeting market driven target cost for key Products. Company will be responsible for developing target cost roadmaps for key Products based on market price erosion expected in Company’s end market. Design for cost reduction teams will review potential cost reduction ideas for feasibility and identify opportunities for Supplier to perform design services on a project-by-project basis. For each project where the opportunity for Supplier to perform services is significant, the parties shall consider structuring Supplier’s compensation for that project in the form of a sharing of the cost reduction realized from the project (“Gain Share Model”). If parties are not able to agree on the details of a Gain Share Model of compensation for a project, Company may order design services from Supplier for that project in accordance with Article 4.12.
4.7   Except as defined in Article 4.5, all reductions in the unit cost of the Product realized through Company’s engineering efforts will result in a commensurate reduction in the unit price of the Product upon the first calendar quarter following implementation and will be incremental to Supplier’s QoQ price reductions in Articles 4.1 and 4.2. Parties will review expansion of approved vendor list (“AVL”) or drop-in component substitutions included in Company’s formalized cost reduction plans but not implemented prior to the Effective Date and determine which projects will be incremental to Supplier’s QoQ price reductions and which will not.
4.8   For new PCBA Products introduced into manufacturing, the initial Product price will be determined by the return on sales (“ROS”) Per Unit PCBA Pricing Formula defined in Attachment A. Pricing for system level integration of new Products will be determined based on Supplier’s quotation of material only cost and value add for each Product and negotiation by the parties. Price for new Products will be subsequently revised quarterly for the next three calendar quarters based on the formula used to determine the initial Product price. Company will realize all Product cost reductions achieved by Supplier or Company during the first year of manufacture through the quarterly Product price revision process. Subsequent quarterly Product price reductions following the first year of manufacture will be determined based on the then QoQ price reduction in effect for that Product line. Supplier shall submit PCBA Product pricing to Company in accordance with Company’s timeline for quarterly price administration and in the form of the Per Unit PCBA Pricing Formula and a budgetary Product BOM based on expected weighted average cost of Material to be used in the quarter. Any deviations from or adjustments to the Per Unit PCBA Pricing Formula will be by mutual agreement of the parties.
4.9   Any increase in Material price that is above normal market price due to Material shortages or allocations shall be absorbed by Supplier unless such Material shortage or allocation is caused by Company’s request for Product above the Forecast and upside limits in any applicable Flexible Delivery Arrangement and the increase in Material price is incurred with Company prior approval. Any such Material price increase for which Company is responsible shall be invoiced at cost from Supplier to Company monthly on a per Material basis. The parties agree to mutually determine, on a monthly basis, which components, if any, are in a shortage or allocation condition and further, what impact such a status may have on the pricing terms for Products or Services Supplier agrees to provide to Company.

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
4.10   In no event will Product price be increased for any additional labor expense, including but not limited to overtime, Supplier may incur to meet Company’s request for Product without Company’s written approval.
4.11   The parties shall agree on Supplier’s mark-up of Commercially Purchased Items on a case-by-case basis.
4.12   Company may from time to time submit to Supplier requests for proposals to perform the Services described in Article 3.5. Supplier shall promptly provide quotations for such requests for Services and include in its quotations such information as a statement of work, milestones, deliverables, and method of compensation. Company and Supplier shall negotiate in good faith the fees, where such fees do not already exist in this Agreement, to be reflected in an Order for such Services and any additional terms and conditions prior to the commencement of any work by Supplier.
4.13   Non-Recurring Engineering (“NRE”) charges shall be invoiced at Supplier’s agreed upon fees for such Services and in accordance with Article 53 INVOICING FOR SERVICES. If Supplier subcontracts any NRE Services to a third party, Supplier shall invoice Company for the actual costs from the third party with no additional markup by Supplier, unless Supplier adds tangible and additional value to the Services performed by such third party.
4.14   Parties agree to establish a pay for performance program for delivery and quality performance promptly after the Effective Date.
ARTICLE 5 - PAYMENT TERMS
5.1   Unless agreed to otherwise by the parties in writing, payment terms shall be on or about [ *** ] days from the date of the Supplier’s undisputed invoice.
ARTICLE 6 - PURCHASE ORDERS
6.1   The parties contemplate that Company will place Orders from time to time. This Agreement shall supplement the terms and conditions in the Orders, excluding the pre-printed terms and conditions found on the reverse side of Company’s Orders, which shall be deemed deleted. Each Order may set forth the terms and conditions reflecting business requirements unique to a particular ordering location. Should there be a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an Order, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
6.2   During the Term of this Agreement, Supplier agrees to accept all Orders and Order Changes that conform to: 1) the parties’ agreements on Product Forecast, Flexible Delivery Arrangements and lead-times, and 2) the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Company’s Order or Order Change does not conform to the parties’ agreements on Product Forecast, Flexible Delivery Arrangements and lead-times, Supplier shall acknowledge such Order or Order Change with a delivery date based on reasonable commercial efforts within five (5) business days. If Supplier rejects any Order or Order Change for nonconformance to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Supplier shall do so in a written notice to Company within five (5) business days from the actual date of receipt of the Order or Order

    Change issuance, stating the reason for the rejection; otherwise, such Order or Order Change shall be deemed to have been accepted by Supplier, as of the fifth (5th) business day after Supplier receives such Order or Order Change.
 
6.3   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Order placed by an international ordering Company on Supplier or Supplier’s affiliates may incorporate terms and conditions necessary to meet local country legal or business requirements so long as such local country terms and conditions are agreed to by the parties in writing. In the event of a conflict between any local country ordering terms and conditions and the terms of this Agreement, the local country terms and conditions will prevail.
6.4   Company may at any time during the progress of Supplier’s manufacture of a Product, performance of a Service, and/or supply of a Commercially Purchased Item request additions, deductions or deviations (all hereinafter referred to as “Order Changes”) from the Product, Commercially Purchased Item and/or Service ordered. All Order Changes must be agreed to by the parties in writing and include any agreed upon price or schedule changes (also reduced to writing), which shall be determined in parallel to any execution of an agreed upon Order Change.
6.5   Company may at any time terminate an Order without cause for any Product or Commercially Purchased Item, in whole or in part, upon written notice to Supplier. Upon notice of Order termination, Supplier agrees to stop all work being performed on the terminated Order consistent with the quantities on the Order being terminated. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Company’s sole liability to Supplier with respect to such terminated Order shall be as set forth in Article 10 EXCESS FINISHED GOODS AND WORK IN PROCESS INVENTORY and Article 11 EXCESS UNIQUE RAW MATERIAL INVENTORY. Company agrees to work with Supplier to determine the most logical stopping point for Product in WIP.
6.6   Company may at any time terminate an Order for Services without cause, in whole or in part, upon written notice to Supplier. In such case, Company’s liability shall be limited to payment of the amount due for the Services including any materials purchased or which have been ordered by Supplier and are non-cancelable or non-returnable up to and including the date of termination (which amount shall be substantiated with reasonable proof to Company) and no further Services pursuant to such terminated Order will be rendered by Supplier. Such payment by Company shall constitute a full and complete release and discharge of Company’s obligations. In no event shall Company’s liability exceed the price identified in the applicable Order for the Services being terminated.
6.7   Unless otherwise specified in writing by Company, upon termination of an Order for Services, Supplier shall promptly return all appropriate Company Information, all completed work, or partially completed work, along with all related supporting documentation, notes, source code and other deliverables related to the terminated Order to Company. Company shall reimburse Supplier for reasonable costs to return such items with Company prior approval of such costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the termination of any Order for Services will not impact either party’s continuing obligations under this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect until otherwise terminated pursuant to the applicable termination rights contained in this Agreement.

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
ARTICLE 7 - CAPACITY PLANNING AND PRODUCT FORECASTING
7.1   Supplier agrees, throughout the Term of this Agreement and at no additional cost to Company, to work with Company to transfer manufacturing of the Products in accordance with Attachment K — SUPPLY NODE CONSOLIDATION AND TRANSFER COSTS and maintain a level of Product manufacturing capacity and flexibility that is consistent with Company’s business requirements. Supplier shall be fully responsible for providing and maintaining all fixtures, tooling, equipment and related items (collectively referred to as “Tooling” or “Tool”) in support of Company’s production requirements unless the parties agree that the Tooling is unique to the manufacture of Company’s Products. Supplier shall notify Company of any unique Tooling requirements prior to manufacturing new Product as either prototypes or production samples, whichever occurs first, and Supplier shall provide Company a written quote for such unique Tooling requirements. If Company agrees that the Tooling is unique Tooling, then Company shall, at its option and cost, either consign the unique Tooling to Supplier or authorize the Supplier in writing to purchase the unique Tooling. If the Supplier purchases the unique Tooling, the purchase price of the unique Tooling shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, at Company’s option be either 1) amortized over a 3 year period in the unit cost of the Product if the price of the unique Tool is greater than $5,000.00; or 2) charged by Supplier to Company as a separate billable non-recurring engineering charge for which Company shall issue an Order to Supplier. Title for Tooling paid for by Company shall transfer to Company per Article 66 — TITLE TO TOOLING OWNED BY COMPANY. For the cost of any unique Tooling amortized and not paid for during the Term of the Agreement, the unpaid portion shall be paid for by Company upon termination of the Agreement. For any unique Tooling used for a Product which Company deletes from this Agreement, if the cost of such unique Tooling has been amortized and not been paid for at the time Company deletes the Product, the unpaid portion shall be paid for promptly upon deletion of the Product.
7.2   For the Term of this Agreement, Supplier agrees to maintain in working condition any unique Tooling purchased by Supplier or consigned by Company performing all routine and other maintenance including reasonable calibration as may be required in order to maintain the unique Tooling at the same level of functionality as when Supplier purchased or Company consigned such unique Tooling. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company and Supplier will review costs for unique Tooling repair and any extraordinary calibration requirements for new Products prior to Supplier incurring such costs and the parties will discuss, in good faith, the allocation and or reimbursement of such costs. During the Term of this Agreement, Supplier shall not sell unique Tooling purchased by Supplier to any third party without the prior written consent of Company, and Company shall always have the right of first refusal to purchase the unique Tooling at the net book value thereof. Company shall reimburse Supplier for reasonable shipping and other costs incurred by Supplier to decommission, prepare and ship to Company any unique Tooling purchased by Supplier or consigned by Company.
7.3   Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to provide to Supplier, at a minimum, a rolling 6-month forecast. The forecast will be updated periodically and tied to Company’s demand planning process for all Products required under this Agreement (the “Forecast”), and Supplier shall acknowledge delivery capability as called for in the forecast documents or firm Orders placed by Company. The parties will mutually agree as to the definition supplied within the Forecast (i.e. weekly or monthly schedules). Except as otherwise provided for in

  c)   if the transfer is Company-initiated, then the transfer buffer cost will be fully borne by Company.
Transfer buffer inventory is defined as the planned finished goods inventory (“FGI”) that is greater than [***] demand that is planned to buffer a product transition from one site to another. Company and Supplier will establish the buffer inventory requirements prior to the transfer. The cost of transfer buffer inventory will be calculated monthly as follows: ((beginning transfer inventory plus ending transfer inventory)/2) X [ *** ].
At the end of the transfer period, unconsumed FGI created as a result of a joint or Company initiated transfer will be treated as normal FGI and will then fall under the standard rules covering Excess FGI. Unconsumed FGI that was created as the result of a Supplier initiated transfer and which did not appear on Company forecasts will be the responsibility of Supplier, except that Company shall be responsible for any unconsumed FGI that represents safety stock incremental to the requirements of the transfer period plus [***] Supplier created at Company request.

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
    Material or assemblies shall be evaluated and classified by Company Specification X-21341, Issue 2, dated May 1, 2003 entitled “Lucent Technologies Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Program Analysis Survey For Non-Lucent Technologies Locations”. Supplier and its subcontractors shall work to achieve and maintain a scoring classification of “Preferred” as defined in Company Specification X-21341.
 
15.10   Supplier and Subcontractor Component Handling and Storage Requirements — Supplier and its subcontractors are required to handle and store components per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 and the latest version of Company’s Specification X-21377 entitled “Storage Requirements for Components used in Lucent Technologies Products. Any changes to Specification X-21377 will be processed through the Engineering Change Order process provided in Article 20.3 below. At Company’s request, Supplier agrees to provide an internal document detailing Supplier’s and its subcontractor’s component handling and storage procedures.
 
15.11   Traceability — Supplier agrees to establish a traceability process for all its facilities which manufacture Product for Company under this Agreement. This process shall include a procedure for preserving the identity and origin of Products and Material incorporated in the Products to isolate and recall suspect Products from use and trace the cause of failure to specific lots or units of Products. At a minimum, this capability should maintain a date stamp and record of process steps via serial number. This record should include test data. This capability will enable traceability of serial numbers in the field back to all manufacturing process steps and results. Additional levels of traceability will be defined in the Specifications and, if agreed by Company and Supplier, may require serialization of critical components and sub-assemblies, which are formally associated or linked with the finished unit serial number. This association must be maintained as a formal quality record. Based on this information, traceability to the critical components/sub-assemblies is available via the serial number of the Product and vice versa.
15.12   Supplier Corrective Action Request (“SCAR”) — Non Conforming Product Corrective Action Procedures — The procedure for Supplier responding to Company for Product non-conformities detected by Company is as follows: When nonconforming Product is found by Company, a SCAR may be issued to Supplier through Company’s corrective action IT system. Supplier shall respond to Company’s SCAR through Company’s corrective action system as follows:
1. Supplier shall use the 3 — 20 rule for addressing a SCAR.
a. 3 working days to perform a containment action. (See 2.a.)
b. 20 additional working days for complete analysis and implementation. (See 2.b. through 2.f.)
2. The SCAR response shall include the following information:
a. Immediate actions for containing the nonconformance;
b. A description of the root cause of the problem;
c. The proposed corrective action or solution to the problem;

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
d. The actual implementation date of the corrective action;
e. The verification results, which show that the corrective action was effective;
f. The actual date of the verification of effectiveness.
  3.   If additional time is required for completing the SCAR response, Supplier shall submit a request for additional time to Company using the corrective action system.
 
  4.   Based on the severity of the issue, Company reserves the right to alter the response time for any SCAR. For an urgent priority SCAR (e.g. line down), the response time intervals are stated below.
  a.   2 days to perform a containment action, regardless of weekends or holidays if requested. (See 2.a.)
 
  b.   5 day initial root cause analysis
 
  c.   10 additional working days for complete analysis and implementation. (See 2.b. through 2.f.)
15.13   Product Return Rate Calculations — The reporting of field replaceable unit (“FRU”) return rates is a Company end customer requirement. This requirement applies to all Product manufactured by Supplier for Company. The maximum return rates for each FRU will be defined by Company in the Product Plan. A corrective action plan by Supplier is necessary when the FRU maximum return rate set forth by Company is exceeded and it is a defect attributable to Supplier. Supplier also agrees to work with Company to identify and develop a plan to address defects not attributable to Supplier.
15.14   Failure Mode Analysis and No Trouble Found Requirements — For defective Products returned to Supplier by Company, Supplier shall perform a failure mode analysis at Company’s reasonable request, which analysis shall be at a minimum completed to the component level. Material level failure modes shall be recorded, and if repetitive failures are detected, failed Material found defective shall be accumulated for the purpose of determining the root cause of repetitive occurrences. The corrective action status of the analysis of identified repetitive Material failures shall be reported to Company when requested. If the analysis of Company returned Product is found to be within the Product workmanship and functional Specifications (i.e. a no trouble found condition), then Supplier shall track these no trouble found (“NTF”) conditions and notify Company of said findings at a frequency defined in the Specifications, so that the appropriate investigative measures may be taken to determine root cause.
 
15.15   Epidemic Failure Conditions and Corrective Action Requirements -
 
    An “Epidemic Failure Condition” shall be considered to exist when one or more of the following conditions occur:
LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLECTRON CORPORATION PROPRIETARY

21


 

CONTRACT NO. HO32050265           
  (a)   Failure reports or statistical samplings show [ *** ] or more of Product installed or of Product shipped during any two (2) consecutive months, or as described in the Specifications exhibit a similar highly objectionable symptom such as loud noises, deformation of housing or other disconcerting symptoms of this type.
 
  (b)   One (1) or more instances of Product discovered to contain a potential safety hazard (such as personal injury or death, fire, explosion, toxic emissions, etc.).
 
  (c)   Product Dead on Arrival (“DOA”) failures exceed [ *** ] or more of Product installed or of Product shipped during any two (2) consecutive months, or as described in the Specifications. For the purpose of this Agreement, DOA shall be defined as any Product that during the test, installation or upon its first use fails to operate in accordance with the Specification. Visual/mechanical/appearance DOA is defined as any Product containing one or more major defects that would make the Product unfit for use or installation.
 
  (d)   When the Product field return rate is statistically greater than the predicted mean time between failure (“MTBF”) rate. Predicted MTBF rate shall be calculated using the Telecordia standard. When periodic monitoring of the field data shows that a circuit packs’ MBTF is not being met, Supplier shall report such condition to Company. At the same time, Supplier shall perform a ninety (90) percent confidence interval analysis of the field data and determine if such field data meets the predicted MBTF. If not then this constitutes an Epidemic Failure Condition.
    Only major functional visual, mechanical and appearance defects that have the same root cause are considered for determining an Epidemic Failure Condition. Product could be either sampled or, at Company’s option, 100% audited at Company’s or Supplier’s warehouses, factories or Company’s end customer locations. If Product is sampled, the data must have ninety-five percent (95%) or better statistical confidence. A major defect is one that will surely cause operating failure or increased installation effort.
 
    Upon notification of the Epidemic Failure Condition to Supplier, Company shall have the right to postpone shipments of any affected Product by giving written notice of such postponement to Supplier, pending correction of the Epidemic Failure Condition. Such postponement shall temporarily relieve Supplier of its shipment liability and Company of its shipment acceptance liability.
 
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if within [***] from shipment date of Product, Company notifies Supplier that Product shows evidence of an “Epidemic Failure Condition,” parties shall immediately work together to determine the root cause of the Epidemic Failure Condition. If the root cause is (1) due to a cause covered by Warranty without regard to the Warranty Period, or (2) due to Supplier Managed Material, and if the root cause falls into one of the categories listed above, then this condition constitutes a “Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition.” For purposes of clarification, Supplier’s obligations for a Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition relating to a Product unit shall continue for a period of [***] after the shipment of such Product unit.

Supplier shall provide a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for any Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition. The CAP shall be provided to Company within five (5) business days of the root cause determination, addressing the implementation and procedure milestones for remedying such Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition. An extension of this time frame is permissible upon mutual written agreement of the parties. If the Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition is a result of a Material failure, Company and Supplier shall coordinate corrective action with the Material vendor.
Should Supplier not reasonably agree to the existence of a Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition or should Company not reasonably agree to the CAP, then Company shall have the right to suspend all or part of its unshipped Orders without liability to Company until such time as a mutually acceptable solution is reached.
Once Supplier develops a remedy for the defect(s) that caused the Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition as part of the CAP and Company agrees in writing that the remedy is acceptable, Supplier shall:
  (a)   incorporate the remedy in the affected Product in accordance with Article 20 PRODUCT, SPECIFICATION AND PROCESS CHANGES;
 
  (b)   ship all subsequent Product incorporating the required modification correcting the defect(s) at no additional charge to Company provided that the Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition is due to a cause covered by Warranty; and
 
  (c)   institute a mutually agreeable traceability analysis to determine which Product previously shipped to Company will contain the same defect. Supplier will repair or replace those Products at no additional charge to Company. If a Product falls outside the traceability analysis, but is later found to have the same defect, Supplier agrees to repair or replace that Product without charge
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that Company incurs costs due to such Product repair and/or replacement, including but not limited to the labor costs by Company’s own employees, agents or contractors in identifying, removing or replacing the Product and the associated shipping costs, Supplier shall reimburse Company for [***] such repaired and/or replaced Product provided that (a) the Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition is due to a cause covered by Warranty or by Supplier Managed Material, and (b) before Company incurs such costs, Company shall meet with representatives of Supplier to discuss Company’s proposed plan for resolving the Supplier Epidemic Failure Condition, and (c) Company shall not charge Supplier for any costs in connection with a plan that are not reasonable and does not reasonably minimize Company’s costs that it intends to charge Supplier, without compromising Company end-user customer satisfaction and (d) Supplier’s maximum liability in the aggregate for all Supplier Epidemic Failure Conditions due to Supplier Managed Materials during the term of this Agreement shall be limited to [ *** ].

58.2   Supplier warrants and represents to Company that it has the authority to bind Supplier and Supplier’s affiliates to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to pricing. For purposes of this Agreement, “Supplier” shall include any corporation, partnership, entity, or venture, at least fifty percent (50%) of whose voting stock or ownership interest is owned directly or indirectly by Supplier.

unenforceable provision or provisions, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

Supplier will not charge an otherwise applicable Transfer Tax if the Product, Commercially Purchased Item or Services pricing is exempt from Transfer Tax and the Company furnishes to Supplier a valid exemption certificate. In particular regard to value added taxes or other similar taxes on turnover and related charges, Supplier will charge and Company will pay any particular VAT over and above the stated prices for Products, Commercially Purchased Items and Services. If Supplier is required by Law to charge VAT, Supplier will ensure its invoices are in the proper form to enable the Company to claim input VAT deductions. If Supplier does not need to charge VAT, but the Company is required by Law to account for such VAT (for example, where a “reverse charge” procedure applies), the Company accepts all responsibility and liability for accounting for the VAT properly. Transfer Taxes payable by the Company shall be billed as separate items on Supplier’s invoices and shall not be included in Supplier’s prices or otherwise compensated pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement.
64.2   Subject to the provisions of Article 4 SUPPLIER COMPENSATION and this Article 64, Supplier shall be responsible for all other taxes.

Lucent Technologies requires that a repair report be provided to our customers to describe what repairs/actions were performed on their product. The data elements included are the data elements described in the section below. This report needs to be provided such that it is relatively easy for our customers to read and understand. Therefore, it is required that this information be provided in English and it is preferable to have this machine printed, as opposed to hand written, for legibility purposes. Samples of this repair report shall be provided to Lucent Technologies so that the presentation and format can be reviewed and agreed to.
Repair or Junk data collection elements
1. Parent item serial number
2. Lucent repair order number
3. Repair action/result (codes)
4. Component designator for components changed (on parent drawing)
5. Date Repaired
     Definitions of each element
  1.   Parent serial number - The serial number for the part (parent item) returned for repair. It should match the serial number on records (ie paperwork) for the item returned for repair. The purpose for using this number is to identify the specific Lucent product item.
 
  2.   Lucent repair order number - The Lucent order number used to identify the repair order, if the supplier has agreed to accept this number. If the supplier requires a supplier RMA number, then this number shall be used. The purpose for using this number is to be able to reference customer information about this repair in Lucent repair order management systems.
 
  3.   Repair action/results (codes) - This data element describes what was done to the product in the repair process for repaired products or the reason a product was junked in the repair process. In order to achieve consistency with other data collection requirements, the codes used here shall be the same codes and definitions used by Supplier to comply with Lucent’s MTRAP/QSTATS requirements. There should be a record for each action taken (i.e. for every component replaced due to electrical troubleshooting, there should be a “DFC” record).
 
      In addition, if a product is junked, then in addition to the “JNK” code, there should be a reason for junk as described by one of the following codes:
          SHD - Shipping Damage
          CAR - Customer tried to repair
          FD - Fire Damage

Issue No. 1
          WD - Water Damage
          RPR - Unit damaged during repair
          OBS - Obsolete/unavailable parts
          TMD - Too many defects
          XNR - Exceeds number of requirements
  4.   Component designator for component changed - This is the designation for the component referenced by the repair action/result codes, described above (assuming the code refers to a component i.e. the DFC code). It should be the designation for the component as found on the assembly drawing for the product. It could be a component on the parent or child board, or the designation for a child board (i.e. CM1) as found on the assembly drawing.
 
  5.   Date of repair - This is the date the repair was completed.
It is requested that if the supplier is going to provide a report that uses the actual codes, that the form used should have a legend/key that a customer can use to translate codes into definitions. In short, the report should be reasonably understandable to the customer.

Supplier Quality Rating:
SQR is intended to represent the Supplier Quality for a specific EMS supplier location and associated Lucent Business Intended to measure the weighted average of all mandatory and “When Available” metrics. (see table below)
SQR measures Actual to Goal for each of the metrics. Score = Sum of [(weight*actual/goal)] / Sum of (weight)
                         
                Mandatory for        
Metric   Abbrev.   Weight   Scoring?   Purpose/Definition of Metric   Metric Formula
EMS Combined Yield
  EMSY     0.2     Yes   EMS Combined Yield (EMSY) – measures the composite yield of all products having undergone all necessary testing at the EMS location. Usually this will consists of Incircuit and/or Functional testing.   100 * (Number of units passed all necessary test at EMS without any failures)/(Total number of units shipped (or completed testing) at EMS)
 
EMS Combined Yield
Percentile
  EMSP     0.2     Yes   EMS Combined Yield Percentile (EMSP) – measures the percentage of codes exceeding some predetermined level/goal. This should reflect upon the combined outcome of all testing at the EMS location and should be the same population as EMSY (above). Justification – While EMSY takes a weighted approach to evaluating the Yield, EMSP attempts to give low running codes some visibility if they don’t perform adequately.   100*(Number of pack codes exceeding predetermined goal)/(Total number of pack codes processed)
 
Incoming Yield to SIC
  SICY     0.2     Yes   Incoming Yield at the SIC (SICY) – measures the composite yield of all product at the first test area of the SIC for each EMS supplier   100*(Number of units passed as first SIC Test without any failures)/(Total number of units tested at first SIC test)
 
Incoming Yield to SIC Percentile
  SICP     0.2     Yes   Incoming Yield to SIC Percentile (SICP) – measures the percentage of codes exceeding some predetermined level/goal. This should reflect upon the first test area at the SIC and should be the same population as SICY (above). Justification – While SICY takes a weighted approach to evaluating the Yield, SICP attempts to give low running codes some visibility if they don’t perform adequately.   100*(Number of pack codes exceeding predetermined goal)/(Total number of pack codes processed)
 
SCAR Responsiveness
  CAR     0.2     Yes   Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR) – measures the percentage of supplier corrective action requests responded to on time.   100 * (Number of SCARs closed on time)/(Total number of SCARs due or overdue)

MWDVBE Definitions
     
MBE
  In general, a minority business is defined as one which is at least 51% owned, controlled and operated by an ethnic or racial minority group member.
 
   
 
  The following groups are considered minorities for MBE as defined by Federal Acquisition Regulations (FARs):
 
   
 
  African American means all persons having origins in any of the Black racial groups.
 
   
 
  Asian Pacific American means all persons having origins in Japan, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Republic of Palau), the Northern Mariana Islands, Laos, Kampuchea (Cambodia), Taiwan, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia.
 
   
 
  Asian Indian American means all persons having origins in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, or Nepal.
 
   
 
  Hispanic American means all persons having origins in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central, Latin or South America, Portugal, or other Spanish culture or origins.
 
   
 
  Native American means American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, and native Hawaiians.
 
   
 
  Non-Minority American means all persons not covered by the definition of American minority (MBE) groups above.
 
   
WBE
  Enterprises that are at least 51% owned, controlled and operated by women who are not racial or ethnic minorities are women-owned businesses. Non-minority women-owned businesses are reported separately from minority businesses. A business owned by a minority woman would be classified as a minority-owned business only — not counted under both categories. However, the total number of women enterprises is easily tracked since minority supplier’s gender information is recorded.
 
   
DVBE
  Enterprises that are at least 51% owned, controlled and operated by men and women who are service disabled veterans.

     2. The parties agree that the Performance Metrics defined as “Delivery to Request Date” and “Supplier Quality Rating” in Attachment H have a material effect on Company’s business (“Business Impacting Metrics”). Parties shall, promptly after the Effective Date, agree on the minimum performance threshold that Supplier shall maintain for the Business Impacting Metrics. In the event Supplier’s performance falls below the minimum threshold (“Out of Tolerance Condition”) for a Business Impacting Metric, Company may give written notice to Supplier that a corrective action plan is required from Supplier. After receipt of such written notice, Supplier shall respond to Company within seven (7) days with a corrective action plan to correct said Out of Tolerance Condition within the next 30 days. Parties acknowledge that the time required

to correct the Out of Tolerance Condition may exceed 30 days and will mutually agree in the corrective action plan on the timeline to cure the Out of Tolerance Condition. In the event Supplier fails to cure the Out of Tolerance Condition within the 30 day period set forth in the corrective action plan or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, Company will be relieved of its Requirements Obligation for the affected Product and may purchase the affected Product from another source and/or manufacture it. In the event of a dispute over Supplier’s failure to meet the minimum performance threshold, or if Company disagrees with Supplier’s corrective action plan, the parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute through the process set forth in Article 30.
     3. The parties acknowledge that Company may be required by law or business condition, from time to time, to have certain portions of Products or certain manufacturing steps occur in the countries where the Products will be sold. Before Company conducts or permits any third party to conduct such manufacturing activities; Company shall first provide Supplier with reasonable notice under the circumstances, documentation reasonably requested by Supplier to support such legal or business need, and the opportunity to conduct such manufacturing activity on terms acceptable to Company. If Supplier decides not to conduct such activities, Company may conduct or permit a third party to conduct such activities, provided that such Products may only be sold in the country of their manufacture, and provided that Company cannot offer the third party terms more favorable than those Company required of Supplier. If Company does conduct or permit a third party to conduct such activities, then the Requirements Obligation shall be extended in time solely as necessary to provide Supplier the same aggregate revenue as Supplier would have received if those Products had been manufactured by Supplier during the Initial Term.
     4. Supplier agrees to pay Company a maximum of [ *** ] of which [ *** ] will be payable upon the Effective Date of the Agreement. Cash consideration of the first [ *** ] paid by Supplier to Company represents compensation for the price per unit for the Products purchased by Company from third party suppliers prior to the time the manufacturing of the Product is being performed by Supplier. This [ *** ] is meant to reflect the effective pricing as if Company is buying all the Products from Supplier from the Effective Date of the Agreement and is contingent on no event other than signing of the Agreement.
The remaining [ *** ] is payable incrementally when, after the completion of all Product transfers, the forward looking forecast for one consecutive quarter is equal to or greater than [ *** ] and the current quarter shipments exceed the following:
