8.4 | Most Favored Purchaser Warranty for Components. If Jabil offers a better price or pricing formula to any other customer for Components, based on similar volumes and under similar circumstances and conditions, Jabil agrees to immediately offer such price or pricing formula to Verigy. Product prices will be amended in accordance with Section 9.2 below. Jabil agrees to fulfill its obligations in this Section in good faith in accordance with Jabils standard pricing models and forecasting tools. Verigy reserves the right, at Verigys expense and upon two (2) business days prior notice, to conduct an audit of Jabils books and records to ensure compliance with this Section, provided that such audit does not violate any existing confidential customer terms or non-disclosure agreements. Verigy agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any information contained in agreements between Jabil and Jabils Component Suppliers that is disclosed during the course of the audit in accordance with Article 19 below. |
8.5 | Purchasing Components from Verigy Contracts. Jabil may procure Components through use of existing Verigy purchase agreements with Component Suppliers. Under such circumstances, the Components may be procured by a Verigy authorized representative and then transferred or resold to Jabil pursuant to the consignment or Buy/Sell procedure described below in Section 10.10. Alternatively, Verigy will seek authorization for Jabil to purchase the Components directly from the Component Supplier under the terms of that Verigy purchase agreement. In such case, any such purchase must be at the price quoted by the Component Supplier, refer to and use the specific Verigy Part Numbers involved and must be used exclusively for Jabil performance under this Agreement. Verigy will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to secure supplier terms and conditions consistent with those necessary to support the requirements of this Agreement including but not limited to SMI Programs, Flexibility agreements and excess and obsolescence liabilities. Jabil shall identify to Verigy the impact of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Verigys negotiated terms and conditions with its suppliers. If the impact identified has a material affect on cost or performance, Verigy shall either use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate such terms and conditions or reach an appropriate and reasonable solution with Jabil. If a Verigy Component Supplier causes a constraint on flexibility which Jabil cannot resolve itself, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, then Jabil will notify Verigy. The Parties will work together to achieve a solution with respect to such constraint. |
9. | PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS |
9.1 | Pricing Management Process. Verigy will submit to Jabil a formal request for quotation for new Product pricing or for revised pricing for existing Products as part of the standard setting process. Jabil will issue a quotation to Verigy within such period of time as mutually agreed to by the Parties.

Any payments made by an Eligible Buyer under the Agreement, and any acceptance of Products or Deliverables, will be without prejudice to an Eligible Buyers right to subsequently claim or determine that it has overpaid Jabil or to require Jabil to remedy any deficiencies in Jabils performance as provided in this Agreement. |
10. | COMPONENT PROCUREMENT |
10.1 | Prudent Procurement Practices. Jabil will purchase Components to support Verigys Forecasts and Orders and react to support the variations in demand for such Forecasts and Orders to deliver Products to Verigy in accordance with specified Delivery Dates. Prudent Procurement Practices include, but are not limited to, the following: |
10.1.1 | Following Jabils ABC classification as set forth in Section 10.2 below; |
10.1.2 | Utilizing minimum order quantities as defined by Component Suppliers and economic order quantities as approved by Verigy; |
10.1.3 | Ordering and buying Components as required to meet Manufacturing Assembly Lead-times, taking into account Component Lead Times and Jabils internal manufacturing lead times; |
10.1.4 | Utilizing SMI management programs where possible and prudent; |
10.1.5 | Negotiating most favored customer terms and conditions with Component Suppliers; and |
10.1.6 | Exercising return and cancellation privileges as allowed by agreements with Component Suppliers. |
Jabil will submit to Verigy the Material Requirement Planning Execution Report described in Exhibit H on a monthly basis. In the event that Prudent Procurement Practices are not evident, in the event of excess inventory due to cancellation, termination or demand reductions, Verigy will not be liable for that portion of the inventory purchased in excess of the amount that would have been purchased if Prudent Procurement Practices had been used.
10.2 | Jabil ABC Classification. |
10.2.1 | ABC classification is a group of items, typically all Components within the Verigy work cell, in decreasing order of US dollar volume. Dollar volume is calculated based on the price at which the inventory is valued (current standard cost) multiplied by the projected requirement for a given period. |
10.2.2 | The first group of Components classified as A represents 80% of the total projected dollar volume. The next group of Components, classified as B, represents the next 15% of the dollar volume. The last group of C Components represents the last 5% of the dollar volume, but can be approximately 80% of the number of items. |
10.2.3 | The ABC classification is conducted based on the principle that effort and money can be more efficiently utilized by applying more control to the high-dollar-volume class items than to the low-dollar-volume class items. At Jabil, |
material requirement planning generates planned orders for A items with weekly order cover periods, B items with bi-weekly order cover periods, and C items with monthly order cover periods. This will allow a good balance of resources and effort spent in managing the inventory levels and financial investment. |
10.3 | Approved Vendor Lists. Jabil agrees to buy all Components from suppliers on the AVL. Use of brokers for Components will require specific approval by Verigy, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, prior to use by Jabil. In the event that Jabil is unable to procure a Component(s) as a result of the AVL restrictions set forth herein, Verigy and Jabil agree to negotiate changes to the AVL. Jabil will use standard purchasing practices, including long lead-time Component management, minimum and multiple supplier order quantities and SMI programs in order to meet Verigy Forecasts. |
10.4 | Usage Requirements. All Components or other materials or parts ordered by Jabil under Verigys contracts with Verigys Component Suppliers for any Products based on Forecasts are to be used only to provide Manufacturing Services or Product Support to Verigy. Any other use of such Components or materials must have Verigys prior written consent. Jabil will have the right to disposition all other Components or materials as it sees fit, provided however, that Jabil ensures there is no impact to Jabils ability to fulfill Verigys Orders, Releases, Blanket Purchase Orders or Forecasts. |
10.5 | Component Shortages. Jabil agrees to provide appropriate technical and commercial support to ensure supply of all Components or families of Components (affecting Products) that may be in limited supply. In the event of a probable or potential Component shortage or availability problem, Jabil will immediately escalate the situation to the affected Eligible Buyer(s). The Parties will agree on appropriate action and allocation of associated costs. Jabil will use Prudent Procurement Practices and manage Component supplies to meet agreed flexibility requirements. Where additional flexibility is required, Jabil will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure Components. In addition, the Parties may mutually agree to operate with a price part variance dollar limit on a single or multiple Component basis to procure Components in shortage of supply. For general market allocation issues that arise for Components, the Parties will follow the process set forth in Exhibit L. |
10.6 | Purchasing Components from Verigy Contracts. Jabil may procure Components through use of existing Verigy purchase agreements with Component Suppliers. Under such circumstances, the Components may be procured by a Verigy authorized representative and then transferred or resold to Jabil pursuant to the consignment or Buy/Sell procedure described below. Alternatively, Verigy (or a Verigy Business Unit Manager for contracts negotiated between the supplier and that particular Verigy Business Unit) may seek authorization for Jabil to purchase the Components directly from the Component Supplier under the terms of that Verigy purchase agreement to obtain Verigy Pass-Through Pricing. In such case, any such purchase must be at the price quoted by the Component Supplier, refer to and use the specific Verigy Part Numbers involved and must be used exclusively for Jabils performance under this Agreement. |
10.7 | Component Forecasts from Jabil to Suppliers. Jabil will provide to Verigy-approved AVL Component suppliers on a monthly basis a rolling twelve (12) month forecast of all Turnkey Component requirements. Jabil will update the forecast least monthly for all planned orders in accordance with a mutually agreeable forecast implementation plan documented in Exhibit I. A copy of the forecast will be provided to Verigy upon request. |
10.8 | Component Forecasts from Jabil to Verigy. Upon request from Verigy, Jabil will provide to Verigy on a monthly basis a rolling twelve (12) month forecast of all Buy/Sell Component requirements in accordance with a mutually agreeable Component forecast implementation plan described in Exhibit I. In turn, Verigy will provide a written acknowledgment of all Buy/Sell Components needed within five (5) days. |
10.9 | Use of Verigy Part Number. For the purposes of VI and Component forecasts, Orders, Releases, and materials or inventory management reporting, Jabil will utilize Verigy Component part numbers, pre-fixed by the letter V. |
10.10 | Purchase of Verigy Component Inventory (Buy/Sell). For the purposes of ongoing manufacturing, short-term requirements and the manufacturing of new Products, Jabil recognizes that Component material may need to be acquired from Verigy inventories. Jabil and Verigy agree to the following terms and conditions for the following categories of Buy/Sell Components: |
10.10.1 | Permanent Buy/Sell: Jabil will provide Verigy a Forecast for these Components as defined in Section 10.8 above. Verigy will determine the list and the standard cost of the Components to be transferred to Jabil. If needed, Verigy may elect to request in writing that a Permanent Buy/Sell Component or a batch of a Permanent Buy/Sell Component shipment should be stored separately or used to manufacture a specific Order or a Product. |
10.10.2 | Shortage Pull: Jabil will submit a list of Components to be acquired from Verigys inventory. Verigy must respond to Jabils request within 24 hours with details as to availability and date of delivery to Verigy. Verigy will utilize Jabils standard cost when accounting for the transfer of ownership of these components to Jabil. |
10.10.3 | Seeding Buy/Sell: Verigy and Jabil will agree in writing to the terms and conditions that will govern the transfer of Component inventory to Jabil for the purpose of the manufacture of a new Product. Verigy will determine the standard cost of the material to be transferred to Jabil. Such terms and conditions are set forth in Exhibit M. |
10.10.4 | Transfer: Verigy and Jabil will agree in writing to the terms and conditions that will govern the transfer of Component inventory to Jabil for the purposes of transferring the manufacture of a Product from a third party to Jabil. Such terms and conditions, including the purchase price for the Components, will be documented in an Interim Inventory Transfer Agreement in the format mutually agreed to by the Parties. |
10.11 | Verigy Responsibility. Subject to the limitations contained in Sections 5.6, 7.6 and 10.1 above and Article 15 below, Verigy assumes ultimate financial responsibility for work in progress, Product inventory, Components purchased by Jabil to meet accepted Orders and Releases, provided that Jabil has followed Prudent Procurement Practices, and all additional Components required to meet any Verigy Business Units flexibility requirements as set forth in Article 7. |

Product warranties will survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance or payment by Verigy and be in effect for an twenty-four (24) month period, or such other term as agreed to by the Parties, following the date of invoice of the Product to an Eligible Buyer (the Warranty Period). Should there be a breach of any of the warranties specified during the Warranty Period, Jabil will, at its option and its expense, repair, replace, or if repair or replacement is not possible, issue a credit for Product found defective during the Warranty Period. Product warranties will survive any obsolescence |
or other Jabil cessation of the manufacture or support of such Product for the remainder of the original Warranty Period, assuming appropriate test equipment, test documentation, Verigy controlled allocated materials, Verigy controlled unique materials, and end of life materials and resources are available to Jabil. This warranty is extended to, and may only be enforced by Verigy. |
11.7 | DISCLAIMER. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY OTHER MANUFACTURING-RELATED AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE PARTIES) SHALL CONSTITUTE VERIGYS AND ELIGIBLE BUYERS EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES MADE BY JABIL HEREIN. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY OTHER MANUFACTURING-RELATED AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE PARTIES) ARE IN LIEU OF, AND JABIL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, AND VERIGY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, ARISING BY COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE, CUSTOM, USAGE IN THE TRADE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR REPRESENTATION BY JABIL, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES SHALL CONSTITUTE OR CREATE A WARRANTY OR EXPAND THE SCOPE OF ANY WARRANTY HEREUNDER. |
11.8 | Warranty Exclusions. Jabils warranty shall not apply to the extent that a defect results from: |
11.8.1 | Use, testing or operation of the Products materially outside of the Specifications; |
11.8.2 | accident, misuse, neglect, or loss or damage after title has passed to Verigy or an Eligible Buyer; or |
11.8.3 | improper or unauthorized repair or modification (excluding onsite repairs performed by Verigy or its third party authorized agent); |
11.8.4 | the Product Requirements, unless the defect results from Jabils implementation of the Product Requirements; provided however, that if the Product Requirements specify the process by which Jabil is required to implement the Product Requirements, and the defect results from Jabils compliance with that process, the warranties set forth in Section 11.1 shall not apply. |
12. | RETURN OF NON-CONFORMING PRODUCTS |
12.1 | Non-Conforming Product. In the event that Verigy receives a Non-Conforming Product or a Lot of Products which has a tested sample containing Non-Conforming Products in excess of an Acceptable Quality Level as agreed to for that particular Product, Verigy may, at its option: (i) return the Non-Conforming Products to Jabil for repair or replacement in accordance with Section 12.4 below, or (ii) repair the Non-Conforming Products at Jabils expense in accordance with Section 12.5 below. |
12.2 | Repair Period. Jabil will return the replacement or repaired Products as soon as possible but in no event later than twenty (20) business days after receipt of the Non-Conforming Product and required documentation from Verigy or within three (3) business days if repaired by Jabil at Verigys site. |
12.3 | Return Material Authorization. Prior to returning any rejected Product, Verigy will make a written request for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number from Jabil, and will return such Product in accordance with the provisions of this Article or other provisions if mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing and made a part of this Agreement. |
12.4 | Repair/Replacement Process. The Product repair and replacement process is provided in Exhibit E. Transportation charges, transfer of title and risk of loss for returned Products will be as set forth in Exhibit E. |
12.5 | On-Site Repair Process. Jabil will be responsible for repairing Non-Conforming Products where the failure to conform to the Product Requirements and/or Specifications is the result of a breach by Jabil of its warranty obligations set forth in Article 11. Verigy may engage a third party to repair such Non-Conforming Products upon Jabils prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In such event, Verigy and Jabil will work together to qualify the third party. Qualification includes the selection process, technical capability assessment and cost model review. Assuming the process set forth in this Section 12.5 is followed, Verigys use of a third party to repair Non-Conforming Products will not constitute unauthorized repair as that term is used in Section 11.8.3 or modification to a Product as that term is used in Section 26.4(iii). Both Parties will work together in good faith to determine whether Verigy or Jabil will contract with the third party that will be repairing Non-Conforming Products and manage the relationship with the third party. If Verigy contracts directly with the third party, Jabil will reimburse Verigy for all expenses incurred by Verigy for the third party to repair Non-Conforming Products. Jabil reserves the right to audit such third party repairs and charges. If Jabil contracts directly with the third party, Jabil will be responsible for the costs of the third party to repair Non-Conforming Products. If Verigy wishes Jabil to undertake repair or replacement of Products that are Non-Conforming due to reasons other than a breach by Jabil of its warranty obligations hereunder, the Parties will mutually agree on an allocation of costs for the repair and/or replacement process prior to Jabil performing such work. |
12.6 | Line-Down Condition. Jabil will replace all Non-Conforming Products as specified above except in those instances where Non-Conforming Product results in a line-down condition for Verigy. In the case of a line down condition where an entire Product line cannot ship due to a problem solely caused by Jabil, Jabil will provide required resources and escalation as needed to accelerate replacement or repair. The Verigy Global Alliance Manager and Jabil Business Unit Director will agree upon the accelerated delivery |
methods and time period. Any accelerated replacement, repair and delivery will be at Jabils expense. Ultimate responsibility for accelerated replacement, repair and delivery will be borne by the responsible Party as determined by the Parties based on a root cause analysis. |
12.7 | Repairs Due to Component Failures. In the event that Verigy receives a Non-Conforming Product and the Parties determine that the defects results from a Component, Jabil will pass on to Verigy all available warranty remedies pursuant to Section 11.3. In addition, Jabil will negotiate with Component Suppliers, at Verigys discretion and with Verigy present or on Verigys behalf, for additional remedies outside of the Component warranty pursuant to Section 11.3. Jabil shall not enter into any settlement with respect to Component failures that affects Verigys rights or interests without Verigys prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that such negotiations do not resolve the matter to Verigys satisfaction, and the available warranty remedies under Section 11.3 do not cover the full cost of Component repair or replacement, Jabil will provide Verigy with prior written notice regarding any additional costs required to repair or replace the affected Products. In the event that cost details are not readily available and Verigy requires immediate repair or replacement of the affected Products, Verigy will authorize Jabil to proceed with repair or replacement of the affected Products on a not to exceed basis. Verigy will assume liability for additional costs actually incurred by Jabil to repair or replace the affected Products, provided that Verigy has given Jabil written approval before such costs were incurred. |
13. | PRODUCT SUPPORT |
13.1 | Product Life and Support Life. The Product Life is the period beginning on the date of the first shipment of Product from Jabil, including NPI activities, and continuing to the date when the Product is deleted from the Verigy corporate price list. The Support Life is the ten (10) year period beginning on the date the Product is deleted from the Verigy corporate price list. |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Verigy, or its permitted successive assignees or transferees, including without limitation any spin offs from Verigy, may assign or transfer this Agreement or any Business Agreement or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without consent to any entity controlled by, or under common control with, Verigy or its permitted successive assignees or transferees, including without limitation any spin offs from Verigy. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement and each Business Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. |
29.10 | Subcontracting. Any subcontracting or delegation by Jabil of its obligations under this Agreement requires Verigys prior written approval. Verigy may require Jabil to replace any previously approved subcontractor whose performance, in the reasonable judgment of Verigy, has been unacceptable. Jabil may disclose Verigy Confidential Information only to approved subcontractors who have agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in a manner substantially equivalent to that required of Jabil under this Agreement. Jabil is responsible for managing all subcontractors and remains responsible for all obligations delegated to subcontractors to the same extent as if such obligations were retained by Jabil. |
29.11 | Interpretation. The Section headings in this Agreement and each Business Agreement are for convenience of reference only. The Section headings will not limit or extend the meaning of any provision of this Agreement or any Business Agreement, and will not be relevant in interpreting any provision of this Agreement or any Business Agreement. This Agreement and each Business Agreement will be deemed to have been written by both Parties. Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) including (and any of its derivative |
forms) means including but not limited to, (ii) may means has the right, but not the obligation to do something and may not means does not have the right to do something, (iii) will and shall are expressions of command, not merely expressions of future intent or expectation, (iv) written or in writing is used for emphasis in certain circumstances, but that will not derogate from the general application of the notice requirements set forth in Section 31.1 in those and other circumstances, (v) use of the singular imports the plural and vice versa, and (vi) use of a specific gender imports the other gender(s). |
29.12 | Dispute Resolution. Prior to any Party pursuing legal remedies hereunder or under any Business Agreement, the Verigy Global Alliance Manager and Jabil Business Unit Director agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes arising during the performance of the Agreement that cannot be resolved by the Verigy and Jabil Business Unit Managers. If such negotiations and meetings do not resolve the dispute within five (5) business days after notice of the dispute, then a Senior Vice President from each Party will meet face to face within ten (10) business days or as mutually agreed between them to attempt to resolve such dispute. If the dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of these executives within three (3) business days, then either Verigy or Jabil may pursue non-binding mediation. |
29.13 | Waiver. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party. If a Party waives any right, power or remedy, the waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy that Party may have. |
29.14 | Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any Business Agreement to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 11.8, either Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the rights and remedies available under this Agreement or under any Business Agreement or any other manufacturing agreements entered into by the Parties whenever the facts or circumstances would permit a Party to seek equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. |
29.15 | Counterparts. This Agreement and each Business Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which will together constitute one and the same agreement. |
29.16 | Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and each Business Agreement is entered into solely between Verigy and Jabil and, except for the Parties indemnification obligations, if any, will not be deemed to create any rights in any third parties or to create any obligations of either Verigy or Jabil to any third parties. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Global Manufacturing Services Agreement as of the date first written above.

Verigy Names
legal name
Verigy Ltd
communicative name
Verigy
The name Verigy is a
combination of two
words:
verify, which indicates
the primary function of
the companys products
and services in testing
semiconductors
energy, which typifies all
the companys activities
Two versions of the
company name, shown
at the left, are used in
Verigy Brand Program
applications: the
legal name, the formal
name under which the
company operates as
a lawfully registered
business; it contains
an indication of legal
status at the end of the
name, Ltd,
the abbreviation
for Limited, and it
is used in program
applications only where
required by law as, for
example, in contracts or
in an address block on
company letterheads
communicative name,
the informal name used
in copy and conversation
to refer to the company,
its operating units and
licensed affiliates, their
facilities and other property,
and their products
and services; it does not
contain an indication of
legal status, and it is used
whenever the company
name is displayed in a
Verigy signature
Verigy Signature
Overview
The Verigy signature,
shown at the left, is
the fundamental visual
device used to display
the Verigy name to
identify the
company, Verigy, and
its operating units and
licensed affiliates and
their facilities and other
property
Verigy brand of
products or services, to
distinguish them from
all others
In all Verigy Brand Pro
gram applications, follow
these general guidelines:
Use a Verigy signature.
The use of a signature helps
establish a strong association
between the Brilliant
V, the name Verigy, and
the companys brand of
products and services.
Do not use the Brilliant
V alone in promotional
applications such as
advertising, product literature,
and promotional
brochuresnot until,
after long and widespread
exposure of Verigy signatures
to intended audiences,
the Brilliant V has become
synonymous with Verigy.
Note: The Brilliant V may
be displayed
as a separate element to
complement a Verigy signature
(For more information,
see page 18.)
alone in speciality and novelty
items: for example, in
promotional novelties such
as key rings, T-shirts, polo
shirts, or other garments
Verigy Signature
Elements & Their Attributes
Two main elements com
pose the Verigy signature:
the
Brilliant V, itself made of
two parts:
-the specially drawn uppercase
letter V
-
Bright Lines, three lines
arranged to evoke radiance
letters, the specially drawn
uppercase letters E, R, I,
G, and Y
These elements express
particular attributes.
While functioning as the
first letter of the Verigy
name, the Brilliant V
depicts a torch, its light
symbolizing the companys
bright spirit of innovation,
the driving force in
its mission to enable the
innovation of others. Thus,
the Brilliant V illuminates
the path to ever-expanding
creativity, both within the
company and in service to
its customers.
The Brilliant V extends
below the letters to
communicate a sense of
boundary-breaking creativity
and assertive confidence
the energy to step forward
as an industry leader.
The Bright Lines also
communicate a sense
of emotional radiance,
a heartfelt, welcoming
energy that suggests that
the company is easy to
approach, has a positive
can-do attitude, and
would be an eager and
enthusiastic partner in
creating business success.
Completing the Verigy
signature are the letters,
upright and uppercase,
suggesting the stability and
reliability of a company
whose foundation lies in its
long and proud heritage as
an operating unit of one of
the worlds most respected
corporations.

Two colors are used in the
Verigy signature whenever
possible:
Brilliant Gold is a specially
formulated bright, intense
hue that conveys a sense of
optimism and confidence.
Platinum is a specially
formulated cool gray that
conveys a sense of strength
and stability.
Because of the significant
company attributes they
express, Brilliant Gold
and Platinum are always
the first color choices
in a Verigy signature.
For options for using
color in the signature,
see the next pages.
When colors are reproduced,
the reproduction
method distorts them.
On a computer screen,
a particular color is
created by mixing three
colors of light (red, green,
and blue; called rgb color),
but in standard printing,
that color must be created
by overprinting varying
amounts of four inks
(cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black; called cmyk
color or four-color process).
And, just as colors on a
computer screen change as
the brightness and contrast
levels are adjusted, printed
colors change not only as
the flow of ink is adjusted
but also in response to
paper color, texture, and
absorbency. These differences
make it impossible
to achieve the same color
under all reproduction conditions;
thus, the appearance
of the Verigy colors will vary,
depending on the method of
reproduction.

opposite on the pigment
color wheel) of both Brilliant
and Burnished Gold.
These colors help define the
distinctive look and feel
of Verigy Brand Program
applications.
In any application, use
only one or two of the
secondary supporting
colors to establish a clear
color theme whenever
possible. Avoid using
multiple colors in a
confetti-like sprinkling in
any program application.
For a greater range of color,
use tints of the supporting
colors (75%, 50%, or 25%).

and wireless markets. These socs and
sips can range from 16-bit embedded
controllers with audio/video adcs and
dacs to 16-bit embedded controllers
with ddr2 memory ports and high-
speed interfaces such as sata,
pci-Express, RapidIO, and hdmi/dvi,
as well as usb2.0, and ieee 1394.
To test this new class of soc/sip, a test
system must be able to address a range
of performance challengesfrom sub100
mhz clock rates, to logic cores with
processing speeds in the 500 mhz range
and interfaces operating in the ghz
range, to the latest mixed-signal and rf
requirements. In addition, this testing
must be accomplished at a lower
cost-of-test than last year because of
ongoing price erosion.
To ensure high utilization, the test
system must be flexible to allow quick
changes in configuration to accommodate
a variety of device test requirements
and fluxuations in production
volume. The test system must also
provide simplified transfer from design
to production to ensure that aggressive
time-to-market and time-to-volume
schedules are met.
An uncertain future demands the
ability to upgrade quickly to meet
the next performance challenge while
continuing to reduce the cost-of-test.
Industry Challenges
Consumer demand for more capability
and connectivity in a single product is
driving a rate of innovation never before
seen. The result is next-generation
Systems-on-a-Chip (socs) and Systemsin-
a-Package (sips) with even more
functionality and higher performance.
A new class of device has emerged in
which computation, communication,
audio, and video capabilities have all
converged into one soc/sip, resulting
in digital speeds that rival those of
the computation market, and analog
performance and price pressures common
to those of the digital consumer
Verigy 93000 Flexible
Parallel Test Solution
Solution Overview
The Verigy 93000 can be configured
with up to 2048 pins for high
efficiency, multi-site test for the
lowest cost-of-test in production.
In promotional applications,
such as advertising
and promotional
or product literature,
the Brilliant V may be
used to support a Verigy
signature according to
the following guidelines:
Use the Brilliant V with
a Verigy signature, not
alone. The Brilliant V
is a supporting graphic
device, not a standalone
trademark, used in support
of a Verigy signature.
For example, as shown
in the product leaflet at
the left, with the Verigy
signature used as a sign-
off at the bottom of the
front of a promotional
piece, the Brilliant V
may be used at the top
with the product name.
Reproduce the Brilliant
V large and,
-against a white background,
use the Verigy
signature colors, Brilliant
Gold and Platinum,
as discussed on page 11
-against other background
colors, use a single tint or
shade of the background
color; the recommended
color is 70% to 90% of a
dark background color or
10% to 30% darker than
a light background color,
depending on the particular
background color,
application, intended
reproduction method, and
viewing conditions
No minimum clear space
surrounds the Brilliant V.
Typography may be placed
close to it, as shown in the
example at the left.
Do not bleed the Brilliant
V off a format. In
any format, the Brilliant V
used as a supporting element
must be reproduced
in full and be shown as a
single, whole form.

As shown in the
example at the left, the
Verigy gradient is a
band of color progress
ing from white to
Platinum, which may
be used as an option in
program applications to
emphasize the brightness
of the Brilliant V by
placing it in the white
part of the gradient
accentuate the verticality
of the V by placing the
signature on the gradient
so that the baseline
of the letters rests on
the bottom edge of the
gradient
reinforce the Verigy
signature colors
help structure and
organize a layout
To create the Verigy gradient
and use it correctly
with the Verigy signature,
follow these guidelines:
Create the gradient with
-white on the far left
-Platinum on the far right
-the midpoint of the gradient
located at a distance
from the left edge of the
gradient equal to 60% of
the width of the gradient
(Do not use any other color
in the gradient.)
Place the signature on the
gradient so that
-the left edge of the E
coincides with the left edge
of the gradient (Do not
extend the gradient behind
the Brilliant V.)
- the baseline of the letters
coincides with the bottom
of the gradient
Maintain the minimum
clear space surrounding the
signature, permitting only
the gradient to enter the
clear space area (For more
information on clear space,
see page 10.)

Verigy Product Return Process
When a Product needs to be repaired or replaced because it is a Non-Conforming Product or does not otherwise comply with the warranties set forth in Section 11 of the Agreement, Verigy will determine which one of the following three processes will be used.
1) | Verigy will repair the Non-Conforming Product using Verigy employees or a third party and Jabil will reimburse Verigy for repair costs in accordance with Section 12.5 |
2) | Verigy will return the Non-Conforming Product to Jabil. Verigy will create a debit memo against which Jabil will provide Verigy with a credit for the purchase price of the Non-Conforming Product. |
3) | Verigy will return the Non-Conforming Product to Jabil. Verigy will create an internal debit memo that will deduct the purchase price of the Non-Conforming Product from the next invoice payable to Jabil. |
Jabil will be responsible for all freight and transportation charges and import and export costs associated with the return of Non-Conforming Products to Jabil, and with the delivery of replacement Products to Verigy, so long as the root cause analysis determines that the reason for a Products non-conformance is a breach by Jabil of its warranty obligations under the Agreement. Otherwise, the Parties will determine allocation of costs according to Section 12.3 of the Agreement. Title and risk of loss or damage to the Non-Conforming Products will pass to Jabil upon Verigys tender of the Non-Conforming Products to Jabils carrier. If and when a selected carrier is not Jabil specified or authorized, Verigy will assume all risk of loss or damage during transport.
In the second and third options, Jabil has the right to repair the Non-Conforming Product and to re-sell the repaired Product to Verigy under an existing Order or Release. If at the time Verigy request RMA authorization, there is no existing Order under which Jabil can ship, both parties shall discuss and agree upon an acceptable return schedule. Such return schedule will be finalized prior to Non-Conforming Products being returned for credit.

Exhibit K
Appendix K: LOGISTICS AND TRADE COMPLIANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Regarding
Shipments from Contract Manufacturers to Verigy Technologies
and to Customers of Verigy Technologies
This document is provided to third party manufacturers (Contract Manufacturers) located in any country that manufacture and ship Verigy Technologies products and parts directly to Verigy (Verigy) or to Customers of Verigy Technologies (Customers). The intent of this Instruction is twofold: to clearly define the requirements necessary to prepare and ship these goods so that they comply with various government import, export, and dangerous goods regulations, and to lay out the specific expectations against which Contract Manufacturer may be evaluated.
I GENERAL
ADHERENCE TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Contract Manufacturer is expected to adhere in all respects to the instructions provided. Any deviations must be approved by Verigy in advance. Each Contract Manufacturer must also be prepared to provide the necessary data or certifications to support the accuracy of statements and claims supplied to Verigy Technologies and subsequently made by Verigy or by our Customers to Customs and other government agencies concerning the Contract Manufacturer's shipments. Adherence to these instructions will minimize transportation and customs clearance delays and avoid fines and/or penalties imposed on either Verigy Technologies or the Customer due to incidences of non-compliance.
Contract Manufacturer is advised to develop and implement written procedures that support correct implementation of the instructions specified in this Exhibit.
A Verigy Business or Trade Compliance representative may at any time arrange with Contract Manufacturer to conduct an assessment of Contract Manufacturer's adherence to these instructions.
RECORDS MANAGEMENT
All electronic data records or hard copy records created on behalf of Verigy and which pertain to Verigy business, particularly those that substantiate claims and statements made to government agencies (for example, those concerning production, origin, valuation, shipment specifics or export licensing) must be retained in accordance with local legal requirements. These records must be kept in such a way that allows them to be provided to Verigy within 14 calendar days after receipt of an official request from Verigy.
II PREPARING THE GOODS FOR EXPORT
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN DETERMINATION AND MARKING
The Country of Origin of each shipped product or part must be properly determined, physically marked on the item or its packaging, and correctly declared on the accompanying documentation. Failure to do so may result in delays, seizures, fines, or penalties. The determination of origin and its subsequent marking on the product must be reviewed with Verigy prior to manufacture of the product.
IN-TRANSIT BOND
INTERNATIONAL TRADE DOCUMENTS
Contract Manufacturer is required to prepare the following documents for each shipment destined for Verigy Technologies or its Customers in any country. These documents are critical because they contain the information necessary for Customs to verify proper classification and valuation of the exported merchandise, assess import duties and taxes, collect accurate statistics and determine whether any other legal requirements apply. Prior to the release of each shipment, it is important that Contract Manufacturer compare the documentation prepared for Customs to the contents of this Exhibit to ensure conformance.
1. | Commercial Invoice |
The Commercial Invoice must replicate all financial records. Invoices and their attachments are numbered consecutively on each page and include the information in the table below.
Note: Contract Manufacturer must prepare Commercial Invoices when shipping to Verigy facilities or direct to Verigy Customers.
1. | Invoice Title (Type) | | Commercial Invoice, Customs Invoice, No Charge Invoice, or ProForma Invoice | |||

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN DETERMINATION AND MARKING
Although some rules of origin are commonly accepted, they may also vary in details from country to country. Determining country of origin for a product is not always obvious, particularly when the quantity of imported parts used in the manufacture of the product reaches a certain level (for some countries), or when certain imported technologies are present in the product, or when a product goes through sequential stages of manufacturing in several countries. Properly identifying kitted or configured items is also problematic. Rules concerning the origin and marking of semiconductors are highly volatile across countries. Consult with your local Region Trade manager to make sure that these or other product circumstances are properly evaluated.
IN-TRANSIT BOND
In-transit bonds are used when shipments enter a country at one port but are then transported to a different port for clearance or to a Foreign Trade Zone/Free Trade Zone in another location. They are also the proper customs instruments to use for shipments that transit through another country before reaching its destination for clearance. Shipments must also be bonded if they pass through a different country on their way to delivery in the same country from which they were shipped (e.g., goods sent from a U.S. shipper to a U.S. consignee pass through Canada during their transportation).
If, after consultation with your Region Trade manager, you determine that in-transit bonding applies to your CM's shipping profile, you must specify the requirements in the In-Transit Bond section.
TERMS OF DELIVERY
INCOTERM (International Commercial TERM) agreements define the responsibilities of the Buyer and Seller in contracts and commercial practices. The following are the Terms of Delivery supported by Verigy. Select the appropriate one and insert it into the blank space in the Terms of Delivery section.
| DDU (named port of import)Delivered Duty Unpaid. Seller delivers goods to the buyer not cleared for import and not unloaded from the arriving means of transport at the named destination. All costs for shipping to named port of destination should be billed to Verigy under the terms of the CM agreement, but exclude all duties, taxes and import costs. Buyer is responsible for all import clearance formalities and costs. |
| DDPDelivered Duty Paid. Seller delivers goods to the buyer, cleared for import (including import license, duties and taxes) but not unloaded from the means of transport. All costs for shipping to end destination including duties, taxes and other costs should be billed to Verigy under the terms of the CM agreement. |
| FCA (named point)Free Carrier (shipping dock or port of export). Seller delivers goods, cleared for export, to the carrier named by the buyer at the specified place. If delivery occurs at the seller's premises, the seller is responsible for loading; if delivery occurs elsewhere, the seller must load the conveyance but is not responsible for unloading. Verigy or the CM under the terms of the CM agreement pays for all costs to get shipment to the named port of export (if port of export is the named place). |
| CIP (named port of import)Carriage and Insurance Paid to (port of import). Seller delivers the goods to the carrier, pays the cost of bringing the goods to the named destination, obtains insurance against the buyer's risk of loss or damage during carriage, and clears the goods for export. |
APPENDIX A: INSTRUCTIONS APPLICABLE ONLY TO CM'S LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES
Use the information below to supplement the standard text of the preceding Logistics and Trade Compliance Instructions template. Cut and paste this information into the named sections.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN DETERMINATION AND MARKING
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has strict requirements for the U.S. origin labeling of products and for U.S. origin claims made in advertising or on invoicing, whether using printed or electronic media. Products of the US which contain more than a minimal quantity of foreign components or processing must be marked to show the presence of that foreign content, such as Made in USA of domestic and foreign components or Made in the USA of US and foreign parts. To be just labeled Made in U.S.A., the product can contain only a de minimis (i.e., negligible) amount of foreign content.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE DOCUMENTS
Miscellaneous Trade Declarations:
| United States Department of Agriculture / Animal and Plant Health Inspection ServicesSolid Wood Packing Materials Certifications (USDA / APHIS SWPM Certificates are only applicable for U.S. and China) |
The U.S. and Chinese governments regulate goods packed with Solid Wood Packing Materials (SWPM). Under this regulation, prior to departure from the US or China, products shipped with SWPM must be heat-treated, fumigated or treated with preservatives and must be accompanied by a certificate and/or statement on the invoice documenting the treatment of the SWPM. Shipments containing products of Chinese or Hong Kong origin and exported from/through another country to the U.S. must still comply with this regulation. For further information, please visit the References section at the end of this document.
Export Declarations
When exporting from the United States it is a regulatory requirement that the exporter (United States Principal Party in Interest {USPPI}) ensure the export is reported via the Automated Export System (AES). This reporting can be completed by the exporter or by the exporter's agent on their behalf. See the section entitled Determining Export Reporting Responsibilities when Exporting from the United States below for information on determining who is the USPPI, and who is responsible for export reporting. For a copy of on how to complete and submit an AES record, please see the following website:

DETERMINING EXPORT REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN EXPORTING FROM THE UNITED STATES
Exporting from the United States
If the goods will be exported from the United States the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) will have certain responsibilities that they must comply with. Per the US export regulations, the USPPI is defined as the person in the United States that receives the primary benefit monetary or otherwise of the export transaction. This could be the U.S. Seller (wholesaler/distributor) of the merchandise for export, the U.S. Manufacturer if selling the merchandise for export, the U.S. Order PartyParty who directly negotiated between the U.S. seller and foreign buyer and received the order for the export of the merchandise, or the Foreign Entity if in the U.S. when items are purchased or obtained for export. If the order party and invoice to party is not in the United States they are considered the Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI). To determine the USPPI, a general rule of thumb is to follow the money: basically, this would be who owns the goods at the time they are exported from the United States. The matrix below should help in determining who would be considered the USPPI in various situations. In all cases the matrix below assumes the Contract Manufacturer (CM) is shipping from their United States location.
Order Party Location | Invoice To Party Location | Ship To Party Location | USPPI (1) | |||
Verigy US | Verigy US | Verigy US | N/A | |||
Verigy US | Verigy US | Non Verigy US | N/A | |||
Verigy US | Verigy US | Non US Verigy | Verigy US (3) | |||

Verigy Non-US (2) | Verigy Non-US | Verigy Non-US | Verigy | |||
Verigy Non-US (2) | Verigy Non-US | Non-Verigy Non-US | Verigy |
Notes:
1) | United States Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) responsibilities will vary based upon the type of transaction: |
| In an Export Transaction the USPPI will be responsible for all the activity associated with exporting the goods out of the United States. This will include: |
| Determining what export authorization is required. |
| Obtaining any export licenses that might be required. |
| Ensuring required export reporting is done via either Shippers Export Declaration or the Automated Export System (AES) (statistics). |
| In a Routed Export Transaction the responsibilities are shared amongst the parties. While the FPPI is taking possession of the goods within the US and will be responsible to ensure that the proper export authorization is utilized and export reporting is done, the USPPI must provide some key data to assist the FPPI and/or their assigned agent to determine the appropriate export authority and complete the export reporting. Specifically, the USPPI must provide: |
| Their name, street address, city, states, and zip code; and, their Employee Identification Number (EIN); |
| The Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) or Schedule B Number and description of each line item; |
| The quantity/unit of measure based upon the HTS or Schedule B Number being used for each line item; |
| The Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) for each line item, or sufficient technical information to help determine the ECCN; |
| The individual total (extended) value of each line item; |
| The country of origin of each line item; and |
| Any information they know will affect the determination of license authority. |
2) | If an Verigy Non-US entity as the FPPI is buying from a US Contract Manufacturer (CM) in a Routed Export Transaction using an EXW or FOB agreement and they have stated they want to be responsible for the export activity, then a letter should be sent to the CM advising them that Verigy in conjunction with its agent is assuming the responsibility to ensure proper export authorization and subsequent reporting. The Verigy Non-US entity will need to ensure that their forwarding agent has a written authorization from the Verigy non-US entity allowing them to conduct the export reporting. |
3) | If an Verigy US entity is buying from a US Contract Manufacturer (CM) and is asking that the goods be drop shipped to an offshore location via an Verigy forwarder, Verigy is responsible for the license authorization determination and reporting unless other arrangements with the CM are agreed upon in advance where the CM would be responsible for the export activity. |
DANGEROUS GOODS
Chemical substances or articles that contain chemical substances or hazardous material that will be exported from the U.S. are subject to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 12 Export Notification Compliance requirements.
For each chemical substance or hazardous material contained in goods whose manufacture, sale or distribution is subject to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and is on the inventory of chemical substances or hazardous materials that require notification, compiled by the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to TSCA or is otherwise subject to TSCA, the Contract Manufacturer will provide a certification to Verigy that (1) all chemicals in the shipment comply with all applicable rules under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and that Contract Manufacturer is not offering any chemical substance or hazardous material for export from the United States in violation of TSCA Section 12 or any applicable rule or order under TSCA, or (2) all chemical substances in the shipment are not subject to TSCA Export Notification requirements. Verigy will complete all necessary export notifications under Section 12.
Upon Verigys request, the Contract Manufacturer will advise Verigy if any chemical substances, hazardous articles, or chemical substances within the goods are subject to requirements for export notification pursuant to Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 12. The Contract Manufacturer will have the sole responsibility to comply with TSCA Section 12 Export Notification, including determining whether any chemical substances or hazardous substances in the shipment are subject to requirements for export notification under TSCA and, if so, file such notifications as required by TSCA.
Where Contract Manufacturer is to be the importer of record and the shipment contains chemical substances or articles that contain chemical substances or hazardous materials, Contract Manufacturer will prepare and file with the United States Customs Service at the time of import a certification that (1) all chemicals or hazardous substances in the shipment comply with all applicable rules under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and that Contract Manufacturer is not offering any chemical substances or hazardous materials for entry into the United States in violation of TSCA or any applicable rule or order under TSCA, or (2) all chemical substances or hazardous materials in the shipment are not subject to TSCA.
FREIGHT PAYMENT
Each Bill of Lading should be marked bill third party at the following address, unless directed otherwise by Verigy:
To Be advised based on Contract agreement
EXHIBIT L
Market Allocation Process
In a market allocation situation, premiums are often paid on Components to maintain assurance of supply. It is also the case that Components made available for purchase in an allocation market period need to be purchased in a timely manner. Given these two concerns (higher prices and immediate responsiveness), Verigy and Jabil agree to the following process for market allocation:
a) | Verigy and Jabil will provide each other monthly updates on the Component marketplace. Specific reference will be made to Components that are considered by either Party to be at risk or currently in allocation. |
b) | If either Verigy or Jabil identifies a Component as being on allocation, representatives of both Parties will meet to discuss the problems and agree upon a time based, aggregate, dollar amount limit that Jabil can use to cover all premium purchases for that allocated Component, without having to get line item approval from Verigy. |
c) | Jabil, on a weekly basis, will report to Verigy the following: |
i. | Agreed upon Component limit. |
ii. | Spend to date for allocated Component. |
iii. | Forecasted spend for allocated Component. |
The above information will allow both Verigy and Jabil to monitor the overall spend as it relates to the agreed time based, aggregate, dollar limit. If either Party determines that this limit may be exceeded, then both Parties will meet to discuss and agree upon an appropriate course of action.
d) | Premiums paid for Components in market allocation periods will be reconciled and settled on a monthly basis separately from the inventory re-evaluation process. |
e) | Jabil agrees to identify during the Standard Setting Process any Components that were affected due to market allocation. Verigy and Jabil will review and mutually agree as to how, and whether, prices for these Components will change. |
f) | Jabil agrees to utilize Prudent Procurement Practices as defined in the Global Manufacturing Services Agreement to purchase Components in market allocation periods. |
g) | Jabil agrees to review and modify as required the frequency of supplier forecast transmissions during the allocation period. |
h) | Jabil agrees to manage allocated Components under Verigy part numbers in accordance with Section 10.9 of the GMSA. Jabil further agrees to use such allocated Components procured to meet Forecasts solely in support of Verigy Products, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing. |
In the event that total available supply of allocated Components does not meet Verigys global demand for Verigy Products, the Parties will follow the process set forth in Section 15.2 of the GMSA.
EXHIBIT M
New Product Introduction
The Parties agree to follow the process set forth in this Exhibit relating to the procurement, management, price variation and liability of Components to support New Product Introductions (NPI).
1. | NPI Component Procurement |
The quantities of Components that are required to be procured to support NPI builds are driven by a combination of Verigys NPI forecast requirements, the BOM, Component Lead Time, minimum order quantities of the third party suppliers and packaging requirements.
Both Jabil and Verigy will be purchasing Components to fulfill NPI build requirementsthe split of purchase will be will be mutually agreed.
Verigy may purchase certain Components from its Component Suppliers to support the initial stages of NPI Product builds. Verigy may purchase Components from its Component Suppliers to meet NPI volume needs, balancing the price of the Components with demand to ensure economic order quantities are bought. Components purchased by Verigy will be predominantly long lead-time, unique or proprietary Components purchased during the early design phases.
Jabil will purchase from Verigy the mutually agreed economic order quantity of Components needed to meet the current NPI forecasted requirements as Seeding Buy/Sell Components. The remaining balance will be considered Consigned Components.
After Verigy has transferred the NPI Product to Engineering Release, Jabil and Verigy will mutually agree upon a plan and timeline for Jabil to purchase any residual Consigned Components needed to support ongoing manufacturing forecasted requirements.
Jabil will purchase certain Components from its Component Suppliers to support NPIs as mutually agreed to by the Parties, in accordance with Prudent Procurement Practices. Once Verigy has provided Jabil with the BOM for a particular Product, Jabil has authorization to purchase Components as needed to meet the NPI and initial manufacturing forecasted requirements. All purchases will be controlled under the Jabil purchase order authorization process and the associated authorization levels.
2. | NPI Component Inventory Management |
Jabil will manage NPI Component inventory during the NPI process until Verigys engineering release. Verigy and Jabil will review NPI Component inventory on a monthly basis. As part of this monthly review, Jabil and Verigy agree upon one of the following methods of dealing with NPI premium buy downs for products transitioning to engineering release:
Option 1: Maintain price until the following Standard Setting Period
Option 2: Conduct buy down.
On a weekly basis, Verigy and Jabil will review Component availability and shortage reports. Also on a weekly basis, Verigy and Jabil will review Verigy Forecasts versus Jabils internal sales orders to ensure that they are aligned. After engineering release, Jabil will manage Component inventory in accordance with the terms of the GMSA.
3. | NPI Component Price Variations |
The terms set forth in this section apply to Seeding Buy/Sell Components that Jabil purchases directly from Verigy. If Jabil has previously purchased the Component, Verigy will sell the Component to Jabil at the Jabil current quoted/standard price. If Jabil has not previously purchased the Component, Verigy will sell the Component to Jabil at Verigys purchase price. Jabil will report to Verigy any variation between Verigys purchase price and the current standard cost of Components on a monthly basis. The Parties will settle any amounts owed as a result of the price variation through product pricing.
4. | Component Liability |
Verigy will provide Jabil with a weekly NPI forecast in a mutually agreed format. NPI forecasts are provided to Jabil as an accommodation for planning purposes and to assist Jabil in planning to purchase Components to meet the quantities stated in the forecast using Prudent Procurement Practices.
NPI forecasts will in no way constitute a commitment on the part of Verigy to purchase finished goods inventory or work in progress outside of the agreed Order quantities. Verigy will provide Orders specifying quantities and delivery dates to purchase NPI Products. Jabil will initiate manufacturing after receipt of an Order. All NPI forecasts and Orders will be considered Confidential Information of Verigy pursuant to Section 19 of the GMSA.
Verigy assumes ultimate financial responsibility for Components purchased by Jabil to meet accepted Orders, provided that Jabil has followed Prudent Procurement Practices. Financial responsibility includes any excess Components that become obsolete as a result of being removed from an NPI BOM or as a result of an NPI project being cancelled. Obsolete Components will be disposition in accordance with Section 15.4 of the GMSA.
As Products migrate from NPI to engineering release, ultimate financial responsibility for newly introduced Components will be as set forth in the GMSA.
