2.2  
From time to time, Customer or its Affiliates may wish to purchase services from Celestica. Such “Services” may include, but shall not be limited to: development, design, engineering, out-of-warranty repair, prototyping, distribution or other services as Customer may request and Celestica may provide from time to time and which may be described in more detail in various statements of work or Orders.

The Order shall incorporate by reference the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, with respect to that Order, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if it had been entered into directly by
 
4 of 29


 
the Celestica Affiliate and the Customer or Customer Affiliate, as applicable. By issuing an Order, Customer’s Affiliates agree to be bound to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer will provide a copy of this Agreement to its Affiliates who wish to place Orders.
 
2.4  
Celestica will manufacture and deliver Products and supply Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subject to the Customer first having provided Celestica with the Consigned Materials, the specification for the Product, together with any Customer Information and all other necessary drawings, documentation, data, software, and other information of the Customer and any consigned materials necessary for the manufacture of Products and the provision of Services.

2.5  
The Customer will accept Products and Services delivered, at agreed upon Prices, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 
3.  
FORECAST AND ORDER PROCEDURE
 

3.1  
Each month, or on an more frequent basis as the parties may mutually agree, the Customer will provide Celestica with updated Orders and Forecasts for the Products so as to maintain a minimum of twelve (12) months of Order and Forecast coverage at all times. This monthly update shall include:

 
(a)  
Order(s) for Product requirements, in weekly increments, for that month and the following three (3) months, so as to maintain a minimum of three (3) months of required Product Orders at all times. 

 
(b)  
A forecast (the “Forecast”) of its intended purchases of Products for all remaining months in the Order and Forecast coverage period described above. Customer will use its best efforts to ensure that the Forecast is accurate but he Forecast will not constitute an Order.

3.2  
Celestica will acknowledge receipt of Orders as soon as reasonably practicable and notify the Customer of acceptance or non-acceptance of Orders within five working (5) days of receipt.

3.3  
Celestica will use its commercially reasonable efforts to accept unplanned Orders or an increase in the quantity to be delivered relative to an Order, subject to the Customer's agreement to pay any related premium costs and charges incurred by Celestica.

3.4  
Orders will incorporate by reference, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall supersede the terms and conditions of such Orders and exclude any pre-printed terms and conditions found on the Customer’s Orders, which shall be deemed deleted. Orders will describe in more detail the required Product and/or Service to be rendered by Celestica and will include: the description and Price per unit of Product; the quantities ordered; Product revision details and such other information as the parties may
 
5 of 29


 
agree is required. Orders may be issued in writing, by mail or facsimile, or by electronic means as agreed to by the parties.
 
 
3.5
It is understood that the product of Customer is a new product and the rate of delivery to the market is not presently known and may be gradual. Accordingly, the Parties will coordinate a gradual increase in the quantity capabilities of Celestica (personnel and materials etc.) so as to manage the risk of the costs of the program.
 
4.  
MATERIALS
 
4.1  
The Customer hereby authorises Celestica, and Celestica shall be entitled, to order Turnkey Materials in accordance with Material leadtimes (for which Customer will be responsible in accordance with Article 19 herein), as necessary to support Orders and Forecasts. Such authorisation shall include without limitation, additional Materials as are, in Celestica’s opinion, reasonably required, taking into account any supplier minimum order requirements, packaging sizes and economic order quantities.

4.2  
Without limiting Article 4.1above, where lead times for Materials are at any time longer than the period covered by Orders set out in Article 3.1(a)above, Celestica shall be authorized to order such Materials on the basis of the Forecast in order to meet the Customer's delivery requirements requested therein.

4.3  
Where the Customer so directs, Celestica will procure Turnkey Materials in accordance with the Customer’s approved vendor list. To use other vendors of Turnkey Materials, Celestica must obtain the Customer’s prior written consent, which consent shall normally be provided within fourteen (14) Days and, in any event, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

4.4  
In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Customer negotiated terms and conditions with suppliers for Customer controlled components, then to the extent of any such inconsistencies or in the event of any Materials quality issues, Celestica shall be relieved of any liability to Customer with respect to Customer controlled components.

4.5  
For Customer controlled Materials, Customer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to require its vendors to provide inbound hubs for the benefit of Celestica and Customer. Celestica will only be required to purchase Materials from such inbound hubs consistent with Customer’s immediate requirements for the manufacture of Products in accordance with Orders placed by Customer and accepted by Celestica.

4.6  
When requested by the Customer and upon receipt of a Customer Order, Celestica will purchase lifetime buys of Turnkey Materials that exceed the Forecast horizon. Upon receipt of the Turnkey Materials, Celestica will invoice the Customer for such Turnkey Materials. Payment shall be due to Celestica in US dollars, without offset or deduction, within thirty (30) Days from the date of Celestica’s invoice to Customer for such Turnkey Materials. For the period of time that Celestica stores such Materials for Customer, such

6 of 29

 
 
Materials will be subject to warehousing charges at Celestica’s then-current rates. Warehousing charges will be invoiced to Customer on a monthly basis.
 
4.7  
Where the Customer directs Celestica to buy Turnkey Materials from contracts that are negotiated by the Customer, the Customer will have primary responsibility for directing its suppliers to perform in accordance with these contracts, including resolving any quality issues. The Customer shall make reasonable commercial efforts to align the terms and conditions for Customer controlled components with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Customer agrees to disclose the relevant terms and conditions of such supplier agreements to Celestica, including but not limited to terms related to payment, forecast, materials liability, return rights, flexibility terms, and MOQ. The Customer will be responsible for compensating Celestica for its reasonable costs related to Material quality issues or as a result of misalignments between Customer’s supplier agreements and this Agreement. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the parties shall agree a Quality Assurance Plan including inspection and testing requirements in accordance with Article 16. Celestica shall maintain quality assurance systems for the control of Material quality and shall promptly notify Customer of any identified Material quality issues or deficiencies..
 
4.8  
From time to time, the Customer may request that Celestica sell Turnkey Materials to Customer or its third party designee. Celestica will make reasonable efforts to accommodate any such request, provided that any such sale of Turnkey Materials does not interfere with Celestica’s ability to perform Services and provide Product under this Agreement. Such Turnkey Materials shall be sold to Customer at the price reflected in the current cost of the Products, together with the applicable Material markup, SG&A and profit rates, or as otherwise agreed.

10 of 29

If any Order (or part thereof) is cancelled due to a termination pursuant to Article 27, Customer may direct Celestica to cease its manufacturing operations in respect of Products affected by such termination. In the event of such termination, Customer shall pay to Celestica all relevant amounts specified in Article 10.1.

10.5  
If the Customer refuses or fails to accept any delivery made by Celestica pursuant to any Order or this Agreement, such Order (or the relevant part thereof) may, at Celestica’s option, be deemed to have been cancelled by the Customer.
 
11.  
PRICES
 
11.1  
Prices are subject to volume of units and the number of shifts and are set forth in Schedule 3 to this Agreement. Prices will be subject to review by the Parties on a quarterly basis (and at such other times as may be agreed) at a Price review meeting to be arranged by the authorised representatives of the parties. Unless mutually agreed in writing the Prices in Schedule 3 (as modified hereunder by mutual agreement from time to time) will apply.

11.2  
Changes to Prices, and the manner and timing of their implementation, will be agreed by the parties on a fair and reasonable basis at such review meeting. In the event that Celestica holds any Product on behalf of the Customer, and Product is re-priced, Customer shall pay to Celestica an inventory revaluation charge equal to the difference between the previous Price and the new Price, multiplied by the total quantity of such Product owned by Celestica as of the effective date of the new Price.

11.3  
Prices are related to volume and in the event Customer does not purchase the anticipated volume of Product, Celestica reserves the right to adjust Prices to reflect the

11 of 29


 
actual quantities of Product shipped to the Customer and invoice the Customer for the difference between the Price paid and the adjusted Price.
 
12.  
PAYMENT
 
12.1  
All payments by Customer to Celestica under this Agreement shall be in the currency quoted by Celestica in the relevant quotation, unless otherwise restricted by the laws of a particular country in which the Products or Services are being purchased. Payment is due, without set off or deduction, net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice.

12.2  
Celestica will invoice on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the delivery of Products pursuant to Article 6.1 and Article 9.4, or the rendering of Services.

12.3  
Unless the Customer provides appropriate exemption certificates, the Customer will be solely responsible for and will pay all taxes including value added taxes, duties or other governmental or regulatory charges in any country resulting from the performance of this Agreement, except for any income related taxes for which Celestica is directly liable.

12.4  
If the Customer fails to make any payment by the due date Celestica may, in addition to its other rights and remedies, charge interest on any overdue amounts, together with any additional costs and charges incurred by Celestica in collecting the overdue payment. If payment is not received within seven (7) Days of the due date, Celestica will notify Customer of its default and if the delay is due to a genuine error in Customer payment processing and payment is not received within a further seven (7) Days, then Celestica shall charge a late payment charge at a rate of one (1) percent per month after such fourteen (14) Day period, up to a maximum of thirty (30) Days from original due date. A late payment charge at a rate of one and a half (1.5) percent per month shall apply thereafter. It is anticipated that such genuine error would constitute an exceptional circumstance and in any other event Celestica may charge a late payment charge at a rate of two (2) percent per month from the original due date. Furthermore, Celestica may elect not to perform any further obligations under this Agreement and/or any Order until payment is received.
 
13.  
CUSTOMER CREDIT LIMIT AND PARENT GUARANTY
 
13.1  
The Customer acknowledges that Celestica, in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, will incur financial obligations on behalf of the Customer. The parties agree that Celestica will, before it incurs financial obligations on behalf of the Customer, and from time to time, establish, and advise the Customer in writing, the Customer’s credit limit with Celestica. The credit limit will be established after consultation between Customer and Celestica. Customer agrees to operate within its credit limit. In the event that Customer’s financial liability exceeds the amount of this credit limit, Celestica will give Customer notice of its default of this condition and, if
 
12 of 29

 
 
not remedied within 7 Days, Celestica has the right to take appropriate action to reduce its financial obligations.
 
13.2  
If the Customer entity entering into this Agreement is the parent corporation, then Customer unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees all payment and financial obligations, which arise directly or indirectly, from non-performance of an Affiliate’s obligations to Celestica and/or its Affiliates. In the event that a Customer Affiliate fails to perform any of its payment or other financial obligations to Celestica and/or its Affiliates under this Agreement, Celestica may make a claim against Customer under this guarantee. The liability of Customer as guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or modified by (i) failure of Celestica and/or its Affiliates to exercise any of their respective rights or remedies under this Agreement, any agreement, instrument or writing with the Customer Affiliate or at law, or (ii) any waiver by Celestica and/or its Affiliates of any of their respective rights or remedies under this Agreement, any agreement, instrument or writing with the Customer Affiliate. For greater certainty, Celestica and/or its Affiliates shall not be required to take any other steps against the Customer Affiliate prior to enforcing any of their respective rights or remedies hereunder against Customer.

13.3  
If the Customer entity entering into this Agreement is not the parent corporation, then, in consideration of Celestica’s extension of credit to the Customer, Customer shall have its parent corporation enter into a mutually acceptable agreement with Celestica, on or before the execution of this Agreement, to unconditionally and irrevocable guarantee to Celestica the prompt payment of all payment and financial obligations that are or may become due to Celestica from the Customer Affiliate under this Agreement.

15.3  
To perfect a party’s (“IP Owner”) ownership of its Pre-existing IP or Innovations in accordance with Clauses 15.1 and 15.2 above, the other party agrees, at the IP Owner’s expense, to assign to the IP Owner all rights the other party may have in the Pre-existing IP or Innovations and, if requested, to assist and co-operate with the IP Owner in all reasonable respects, execute all documents, and take all further acts reasonably necessary for the IP Owner to acquire, transfer, maintain and enforce its right in such Pre-existing IP or Innovations. Each party hereby waives, and shall secure the waiver of its employees, agents, and subcontractors relating to, any moral rights in such Pre-existing IP or Innovations in favor of the IP Owner, its successors and assigns to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.4  
Each party agrees not to directly or indirectly reverse engineer any tangibles resulting from the Pre-existing IP or Innovations of the other party. Each party agrees not to alter, remove or destroy any proprietary markings or confidentiality legends or notices placed upon or contained within the Pre-existing IP or Innovations of the other party.

GUARANTY
 
THIS GUARANTY is made and entered into to be effective as of 27th September 2005, by Medis Technologies Ltd. ("Guarantor"), in favor of Celestica Ireland Limited and its parent and affiliated companies (collectively, "Celestica").
 
In consideration of Celestica granting credit to More Energy Limited, and their successors and assigns (each of which is hereinafter referred to as a “Customer”), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby specifically acknowledged by Guarantor, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.    Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Celestica the prompt payment, when due, of all of Celestica 's charges for the account of a Customer, of whatever nature, for or in connection with goods and/or services sold and delivered on or after the effective date of this Guaranty arising under the Agreement for Manufacture between More Energy Ltd., an affiliate of Guarantor, and Celestica dated September 2005 (the "Obligations"), until this Guaranty is terminated in accordance with its terms. Guarantor acknowledges that this is a continuing guaranty, which shall remain in force until terminated by Guarantor by written notice to Celestica or until it automatically terminates upon the termination of the aforesaid Agreement of Manufacture, provided that any such termination shall not effect this guaranty with respect to Obligations incurred by a Customer on or before the effective date of such Termination. This Guaranty shall extend to each and every extension or renewal of any Obligation. Nothing contained herein will provide Celestica with any more rights against the Guarantor than it has against the Customer.
 
2.    Waivers. Guarantor has entered into this Guaranty based solely upon its independent investigation of a Customer's financial condition and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further information with respect to a Customer or the conduct of its business. Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Celestica, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an Obligation, may destroy the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Customer by operation of applicable law. Guarantor authorizes Celestica, without notice or demand and without affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time to: (i) renew, modify or extend the time for performance of the Obligations, (ii) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release such security, and (iii) release or substitute a Customer or any endorsers or guarantors of the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other parties thereto. For clarity sake, it is agreed that the purpose of this Guarantee is to cause Guarantor to honor the Obligations as if the aforesaid Agreement of Manufacture were signed directly by Guarantor and accordingly the only defenses available to Guarantor hereunder are those that are available to a Customer under the aforesaid Agreement of Manufacture.
 
3.    Bankruptcy Not Discharge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any or all of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Celestica upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Customer or Guarantor, or if Celestica elects to return such payment or any part thereof in its sole and absolute discretion, all as though such payment had not been made though due. Notwithstanding any modification, discharge or extension of the Obligations or any amendment, modification, stay or cure of Celestica’s rights which may occur in any bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding concerning a Customer, whether permanent or temporary, and whether or not assented to by Celestica, Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall be obligated hereunder to pay the Obligations and discharge its other obligations in accordance with
 

 
the terms of this Guaranty in effect on the date hereof. Guarantor understands and acknowledges that by virtue of this Guaranty, it has specifically assumed any and all risks of a bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to a Customer. As an example and not in any way of limitation, a subsequent modification of the Obligations in any reorganization case concerning a Customer shall not affect the obligation of Guarantor to pay the Obligations in accordance with their terms, as such may have been modified with the consent of Celestica prior to the commencement of any bankruptcy case.
 
4.    Guarantor's Understandings With Respect to Waivers. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences.
 
5.    Miscellaneous. If any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be held invalid or unenforceable, this Guaranty shall be construed as if not containing those provisions and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly. This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of New York, USA. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New York, USA. Headings in this Guaranty are for convenience only and are not be construed as a part of this Guaranty or in any way amplifying or limiting the provisions hereof. Where the context so requires, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. To be effective, any notice by Guarantor to Celestica hereunder must be in writing, sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by facsimile or by electronic mail or delivered personally to the following address or to such other address as Celestica may designate by written notice to Guarantor from time to time, and such notice shall be deemed effective on the date of receipt if sent by prepaid registered mail, on the date of transmission in the case of facsimile or electronic communication or on the date of delivery if delivered by hand:
