2.0   MANUFACTURE AND PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS
 
2.1   Manufacture of Products and Related Services. Under the direction and oversight of Cisco BV, including, without limitation, its quality control requirements, each Supplier shall (a) manufacture Products and Components and either (i) sell Products immediately following completion of Packout to Cisco BV, or (ii) transfer or sell Products to another Supplier or to an Approved Third Party either for subsequent sale to Cisco BV or for incorporation into other Products that are sold to Cisco BV by such other Supplier or an Approved Third Party, or (iii) transfer or sell Components to another Supplier or to an Approved Third Party for incorporation into Products that are sold to Cisco BV by such other Supplier or an Approved Third Party; and (b) perform all necessary and appropriate ancillary activities pursuant to this PPA, including without limitation the installation of copies of Installed Software on Products on behalf of Cisco BV, and the provision of assembly, test, failure analysis, materials purchasing, materials management, packaging, new Product introduction, and delivery services to Cisco BV or Cisco BV’s designated recipients in accordance with all SLA terms, Specifications, cycle times, Price and other applicable quality requirements, as they may be amended by the parties from time to time. Each Supplier shall design, measure and maintain capable, technologically current processes for manufacturing Products that are consistent with the technology requirements for such Products. Such processes shall include, without limitation, new product introduction services, such as design for manufacturing, design for test and design for assembly. Each Supplier’s manufacturing processes shall correspond to all Specifications, including, without limitation, any new product introduction standards provided by Cisco BV. Each Supplier agrees to employ effective controls to identify and contain Product defects. No other party shall have any right to the output of Products or Liable Components of any Supplier, except as specifically provided in this PPA. No Supplier shall have any right to deal with or dispose of Products or Liable Components except as explicitly authorized in this PPA, nor to sell Products or Liable Components to, or to install copies of Installed Software for, any party, except as specifically provided in this PPA.
 
  2.1.1 Scope. The scope of the manufacturing and related services provided for in this Agreement extends to all Products purchased by Cisco BV for sale by Cisco BV. For the avoidance of doubt, this PPA shall not extend to Products purchased by CSI from (i) the United States sites of Split Suppliers for sale by CSI to Third Party Customers in the Territory as contemplated by Section 2.2, or (ii) the United States sites of other Suppliers named in CSI’s Manufacturing and Product Purchase Agreement with CM and the Signing Affiliates named therein.

    limited to the definition of Products, or the use of words “sale” or “sell”, shall be interpreted to mean or infer that any Supplier is selling any Cisco BV Proprietary Technology, including Installed Software, to Cisco BV, another Supplier or an Approved Third Party.
 
2.2   Certain Orders.
 
  2.2.1 Split Suppliers. CM and each applicable Supplier shall notify Cisco BV promptly in the event (i) there is a change in ownership representing [ * ] or more of the equity ownership of any Supplier, (ii) any Supplier closes or relocates a United States site, or (iii) any Supplier or other CM Affiliate opens a new United States site. Exhibit F may be amended from time to time to provide for additional Supplier sites, if any, within the United States.
 
  2.2.2 Orders Placed with Split Suppliers. Each United States site of a Split Supplier shall accept and act on POs issued to it by or on behalf of either Cisco BV or CSI. CSI is a party to a Manufacturing and Product Purchase Agreement with each Split Supplier. Due to information system constraints CSI does not currently issue and account for POs in its own name to a Split Supplier. With respect to the United States site(s) of Split Suppliers, each Product for which there is, from the time immediately prior to entering WIP through the time of Packout in the United States by a Split Supplier at a Split Supplier site identified on Exhibit F, a Third Party Customer order that specifies a bill-to address located within the Territory shall be built for CSI and deemed a CSI order under CSI’s Manufacturing and Product Purchase Agreement; all other orders shall be built for Cisco BV by such Split Supplier under this PPA and shall be deemed a Cisco BV order under this PPA.
 
  2.2.3 No Specific Third Party Customer Order. With respect to POs for Products that are issued to a United States site of a Split Supplier for which there is no specific Third Party Customer order that specifies a bill-to address located within the Territory from the time immediately prior to entering WIP through the time of Packout in the United States, such Product shall be built for Cisco BV under this PPA and shall be deemed a Cisco BV order under this PPA. If at any time a Split Supplier does not have access to pertinent bill-to information with respect to particular Products or is not provided the bill-to information for such Products by Cisco BV or CSI, then such Products shall be built for and sold to Cisco BV by such Split Supplier under this PPA.
 
  2.2.4 Invoicing for CSI Orders. Unless otherwise instructed by CSI or Cisco BV, each Split Supplier shall invoice CSI in the name of Cisco BV for all POs for Products sold from a Split Supplier site identified on Exhibit F that are allocated to CSI pursuant to this Section 2.2. CSI shall be liable to pay such Split Supplier for such invoices and shall do so through Cisco BV. The provisions of this Section 2.2 are for administrative and logistical convenience to address the information system constraints of CSI and shall not render or be deemed to render Cisco BV an agent of CSI, or vice versa, for any purpose.
 
2.3   Source Inspection. During the term of this PPA and during the implementation of any Transition Plan (as defined in Section 10.5.3), Cisco BV shall have the right, at its discretion, to inspect, review, monitor and oversee, and verify for compliance, during regular business hours upon reasonable notice, the work being performed and the

          (iv) to secure, protect and keep confidential the Cisco BV Proprietary Technology and Work Product with at least the same degree of care it utilizes with respect to its own most valued proprietary information, and in any event, no less than a reasonable standard of care.
     3.3 Ownership. Sublicensee agrees that:
          (i) As between Cisco BV, Sublicensor and Sublicensee, all right, title, and interest in the Cisco BV Proprietary Technology, including Installed Software and all copies thereof, and Work Product are and shall remain solely with Cisco BV and/or its licensors, subject to the limited licenses granted herein and pursuant to the PPA;
          (ii) Sublicensee’s only right in connection with the Installed Software and all copies thereof is to install them on Sublicensee Products;
          (iii) Sublicensee hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to Sublicensor, for immediate assignment, transfer and conveyance to Cisco BV pursuant to the PPA, any rights Sublicensee may have, or may acquire, or may purport to have or acquire, in or to any Cisco BV Proprietary Technology or Work Product worldwide;
          (iv) To the extent any Work Product is a “work made for hire” under applicable copyright law, it shall be considered a “work made for hire” from the moment of creation, the copyright of which shall be owned by Sublicensor worldwide, for immediate assignment, transfer and conveyance to Cisco BV pursuant to the PPA. To the extent Work Product does not qualify as a “work made for hire” under applicable copyright law, all right, title and interest that Sublicensee may have in and to the same is hereby assigned, transferred and conveyed from the moment of creation exclusively to Sublicensor, for immediate assignment, transfer and conveyance to Cisco BV pursuant to the PPA; and
          (v) Sublicensee will execute such documents, render such assistance, and take such other action as Sublicensor and/or Cisco BV may reasonably request, at Sublicensor’s or Cisco BV’s expense, to further evidence such assignment and to apply for, register, perfect, confirm, and protect Cisco BV’s rights to the Cisco BV Proprietary Technology and Work Product.

Sublicensee agrees that anything Sublicensor or Cisco BV or any affiliate or either may do with any Work Product does not and will not constitute any prejudice to Sublicensee’s reputation or the honor or reputation of any individual who performed work on any Work Product. Sublicensee hereby waives any and all Moral Rights, including without limitation any right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent modification that

Sublicensee (or its employees, agents or consultants) has or may have in any Work Product and any derivatives, improvements or modifications thereof. Sublicensee hereby undertakes to ensure that its employees, agents and consultants are contractually bound to the foregoing waivers.
     3.5 Attorney In Fact. Sublicensee agrees that if Sublicensor or Cisco BV is unable because of Sublicensee’s unavailability, dissolution or incapacity, or for any other reason, to secure Sublicensee’s signature to apply for or pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering the Work Product and/or inventions and developments assigned to Sublicensor as provided above, then Sublicensee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of Sublicensor and Cisco BV, and their duly authorized officers and agents, as Sublicensee’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in such Sublicensee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents and copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Sublicensee.
ARTICLE 4
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
     4.1 Confidentiality. Sublicensee shall hold in strict confidence and trust any and all Confidential Information that it receives from Sublicensor and treat it as confidential and proprietary to the same extent and in the same manner that Sublicensee treats its own confidential information of like importance, in no event using less than reasonable care. Sublicensee shall not disclose or use such Confidential Information except as necessary for Sublicensee to exercise the rights granted by Sublicensor under this Authorized Sublicense Agreement. Sublicensee shall develop and implement reasonable and prudent procedures to prevent the intentional or negligent disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties. Sublicensee acknowledges that its procedures for protecting Confidential Information at a minimum require that its employees and contractors enter into confidentiality agreements with Sublicensee upon initial employment or engagement, with terms, conditions, and restrictions no less restrictive than set forth in this Article 4.
     4.2 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 4, Sublicensee shall have the right to communicate to suppliers and manufacturers relevant portions of the Confidential Information reasonably necessary for, and solely for the purposes of, the procurement by Sublicensee of materials and parts or manufacturing services in connection with Sublicensee Products or Components; provided, however, that (i) any such recipient shall be advised by Sublicensee in writing at the time of or before such communication that proprietary information is being communicated and that such information is to be kept confidential and must not be used or disclosed except as permitted under this Authorized Sublicense Agreement and (ii) Sublicensee shall require that such recipient undertakes in writing prior to disclosure to respect such confidentiality and be bound by terms substantially similar to and no less restrictive than this Article 4.
     4.3 Exceptions. Nothing in this Authorized Sublicense Agreement shall prevent the disclosure by Sublicensee of Confidential Information that:

          (a) Is, or becomes subsequent to the time of transmittal to Sublicensee a matter of general public knowledge other than through breach by Sublicensee or Sublicensor of any obligation of confidentiality under this Authorized Sublicense Agreement or otherwise;
          (b) Is rightfully made public by Sublicensor;
          (c) Was or is rightfully received by Sublicensee free of any obligation of confidentiality to Sublicensor or Cisco BV or any affiliate of either; or
          (d) Was or is received in good faith from a third party having the right to disclose it who, to the best of Sublicensee’s knowledge, did not obtain such information from Sublicensor or Cisco BV or any affiliate of either, and who imposes no obligation of secrecy on Sublicensee with respect to such information.
     4.4 Agreement is Confidential. The terms and conditions of this Authorized Sublicense Agreement shall be treated by Sublicensor and Sublicensee as confidential and shall not be disclosed without the consent of the other party and Cisco BV, except as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose such terms and conditions to its legal or financial advisors as necessary to obtain legal or financial advice.
     4.5 Injunctive Relief. Sublicensee understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Cisco BV Proprietary Technology and Work Product constitute valuable business assets of Cisco BV, the unauthorized use or disclosure of which may irreparably damage Sublicensor and/or Cisco BV. In the event of breach or threatened breach of Sublicensee’s obligations hereunder, the parties agree that each of Sublicensor and Cisco BV shall be entitled to obtain an injunction restraining Sublicensee from violating such obligations without having to prove that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy or that no adequate remedy at law exists. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting Sublicensor or Cisco BV from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach of this Authorized Sublicense Agreement by Sublicensee.
ARTICLE 5

     5.1 Term. This Authorized Sublicense Agreement shall be effective beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date of termination of the PPA, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.
     5.2 Termination for Cause. The foregoing provision notwithstanding, Sublicensor shall have the right to terminate this Authorized Sublicense Agreement or any of the licenses granted herein, in whole or in part, at any time in the event Sublicensee fails or neglects to perform its obligations under any material provision of this Authorized Sublicense Agreement, and, in the case of defaults capable of cure, fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of default. In addition, Sublicensor may terminate this Authorized Sublicense Agreement, by giving written notice to Sublicensee, upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any act, determination, filing, judgment, declaration, notice, appointment of receiver or trustee, failure to pay debts, or other events under any law applicable to Sublicensee indicating the insolvency or bankruptcy of Sublicensee; or (ii) any

     5.4 Events Upon Termination.
          5.4.1 In the event of termination of this Authorized Sublicense Agreement, regardless of the cause thereof, Sublicensee agrees to cease continued manufacture and transfer of Sublicensee Products and Components and the provision of services that incorporate, embody, reflect or otherwise use any Cisco BV Proprietary Technology or Work Product, and all rights and licenses granted to Sublicensee hereunder shall terminate.
          5.4.2 Upon termination of this Authorized Sublicense Agreement, Sublicensee shall promptly return to Sublicensor all embodiments of any Confidential Information then in its possession that are in written, recorded, electronic or other tangible form.
