• | [*] |
• | Team |
• | Jabil agrees to assign appropriate team to execute Company’s production of the [*] at Jabil, as well to participate in continuous improvement of both product and its production processes. As [*] database is created in Wildfire/PCAD/Altium and maintained in Windchill, it is necessary that the resources assigned to the project are fluent in engineering tools used to create and maintain the database. This is critical not only for the design understanding, tooling management, and participation in design and process change management, but also for all production and quality related fixtures. Jabil [*] engineering resources are expected to be qualified and trained engineers, fully capable in handling following CAD tools: |
• | ‑Mechanical: ProE/Wildfire, Windchill |
• | Electrical: PCAD, Altium, Windchill |
Jabil will ensure that the engineering resources are periodically and properly trained in CAD tool upgrades, so as not to be out of step with iRobot. Jabil will do so at Jabil’s expense and proactively.
Jabil is expected to provide appropriate team dedicated to supporting New Product Introduction(s), as required by iRobot.
• | System requirements |
At iRobot’s discretion, Jabil may be given access to the following iRobot or iRobot third party internal systems, which Jabil agrees to work off of, including training Jabil employees on these systems at no cost to iRobot or its third party. The systems include but are not limited to:
a) Windchill
Windchill is a Web browser enabled, real time data management tool, which enables manufacturers to control product development activities and collaborate with the global partner in secure way. Windchill is a complex tool which poses certain hardware requirements and certain training requirements on the user. For this reason, Company has developed an Company Vendor Requirement Document. This document describes:
• | ‑Windchill Software Requirements |
• | ‑Hardware Requirements |
• | ‑Education Requirements |
• | ‑Local Windchill Support Personnel |
• | ‑Network Security Requirements |
Jabil is expected to adhere to the requirements listed in this document, which may mean purchasing software upgrades, hardware upgrades and arranging and supporting training of their staff, at no cost to Company. All of this is necessary for the future real time global collaboration.
Part of this process is the bandwidth test, which is a test performed by Company personnel at Jabil’s site, with the purpose of assessing real life bandwidth capability of Jabil’s facility.
[*] Jabil is responsible for providing a secure area in the facility, for storing the server and other associated hardware.
Skill level
After all of the requirements of the Company Vendor Requirements documents have been met, and the bandwidth test has been satisfactorily performed, Jabil’s personnel will be subject to the Proficiency Test Script, which will aid in the proficiency assessment of Jabil’s personnel. Passing this test would mean that Windchill skill level requirement has been met.
Following this activity, Company and Jabil will engage in limited, scripted and controlled data exchange through Windchill. This step will ensure that everyone understands their role and responsibility and will increase confidence level with the tool, without jeopardizing main database. This step will also expose any issue Jabil might face with their network infrastructure, hardware setup, etc. and give an opportunity to optimize system performance.
The foregoing activities must occur within the agreed upon timeframes included in the integrated Company/Jabil project plan.
b) Oracle
Oracle MRP system is used in Company HRD organization for management of forecast, net requirement calculations, item master maintenance, inventory management and customer order management and fulfillment. In the interest of robust and timely information sharing with Jabil, it is expected that both Companies will go through the level of work required to enable automated transactions between Oracle and SAP. Jabil is expected to support this work through ensuring that Jabil resources are available according to the agreed upon project timeline, at Jabil’s expense.
It is envisioned that enabling limited set of EDI transactions will be necessary threshold requirement in order to successfully complete the Production Start. It is expected that Jabil’s resources will be available on an ongoing basis to support ongoing continuous improvement efforts past Production Start, such as expanded set of EDI transactions, CIS access, to name a few, at Jabil’s expense.
Database change management. The important objective of the [*] project is to track any and all changes to the files (electrical or mechanical), tools, fixtures, parts, quality specifications or manufacturing processes. To facilitate meeting this objective, Company has developed ECR/ECN process and adopted a database management tool, Windchill. It is necessary that Jabil also acquire working Windchill knowledge, and adopt Company’s ECR/ECN process. Windchill as a tool supports this system very well. Company will communicate ECR/ECN process to Jabil through Company documents, and Jabil is expected to understand the process and be prepared to participate in it and use it for any and all changes to controlled activities, such as: changes to the files (electrical or mechanical), tools, fixtures, parts or manufacturing processes. There are many activities and responsibilities under XX XX change process. Company will assume most of them. Jabil will be expected to understand overall process, and know how to initiate change through problem report, and then know how to view change after it has been routed through the system. This particular aspect of collaboration will also be practiced by Jabil and Company through scripted and controlled data exchange through Windchill. Jabil is expected to ask permission for any and all changes to database, to include both engineering and quality related documentation and processes. All Jabil input is encouraged but it must be reviewed and approved by Company before it takes effect. Jabil will utilize variety of resources outside of [*] and core [*] team dedicated to Company account, such as tooling/molding resources. It is expected that Jabil will manage all its external relationships, and it is Jabil’s responsibility to ensure that all parties acting on Company’s account on Jabil’s behalf utilize the latest released instance of the database. Failure to do so (resulting in production of outdated parts, or incorrect fixtures, etc.) will be Jabil’s responsibility and Jabil will correct any errors that may arise at their own expense and within acceptable timelines. It is expected that Jabil’s resources will be available on an ongoing basis to support continuous improvement efforts past Production Start, such as active participation in ECR/ECN process through proposing changes through Windchill, redlining documents and models, and in some instances even performing edits directly in a database. The augmented participation will be discussed with Jabil well in advance of expected implementation.
Jabil shall maintain its hardware and software setups in support of Company’s business under this Agreement to ensure compatibility with Company’s future system upgrades. Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to notify Jabil in advance of any system upgrades applicable to the Products under this Agreement.

1.1.1 Reports and/or information related to or regarding the Disclosing Party’s business plans, business methodologies, strategies, specifications, development plans, customers, and/or billing records will be deemed Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party even if not so marked or identified.
1.1.2 Prototypes, mockups, models, designs, project deliverables, and/or depictions thereof, observed within or upon the Disclosing Party’s business premises will be deemed Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party even if not so marked or identified.
1.2 “Proprietary Information” shall not include any information which: (a) the Receiving Party can show by written record was in its possession prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party hereunder, provided that the Receiving Party must promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any prior knowledge in the manner provided in Section 5 below; (b) appears in a patent or publication, or which otherwise is or becomes generally known in the trade other than through the Receiving Party’s failure to observe any or all terms and conditions hereof; provided that the foregoing shall not be interpreted to create any express or implied license, or the right to obtain a license, to any patents which may be issued to the Disclosing Party; or (c) subsequent to disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party, is obtained by the Receiving Party from a third person who is lawfully in possession of such information, and who is not in violation of any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligations to the Disclosing Party in making such disclosure to the Receiving Party and does not require the Receiving Party to refrain from disclosing such information to others.
2 Use and Disclosure of Proprietary Information.
2.1 The Receiving Party may only use the Proprietary Information for the purpose of evaluating or operating pursuant to a business relationship or potential business relationship between the Receiving Party and the Disclosing Party (the “Permitted Purpose”).

2.2 The Receiving Party shall not embody any of the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party in any of the Receiving Party’s products, processes or services, or duplicate, copy or exploit any of such Proprietary Information in the Receiving Party’s business, or otherwise use any of the Proprietary Information for any purpose other than for the Permitted Purpose.
2.3 The Receiving Party shall use the equivalent of measures that the Receiving Party uses to protect the Receiving Party’s own proprietary information, but in no event less than reasonable care and adequate measures, to protect the security of the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party and to ensure that any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party is not disclosed or otherwise made available to other persons or used in violation of this Agreement.
2.4 In the event that the Receiving Party is required by law to make any disclosure of any of the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party, by subpoena, judicial or administrative order or otherwise, the Receiving Party shall first give written notice of such requirement to the Disclosing Party, and shall permit the Disclosing Party to intervene in any relevant proceedings to protect its interests in the Proprietary Information, and provide full cooperation and assistance to the Disclosing Party in seeking to obtain such protection.
3 Certain Rights and Limitations.
3.1 The Receiving Party will provide upon the Disclosing Party’s request a certification that access and use is being controlled in accordance with this Agreement.
3.2 The provision of Proprietary Information hereunder shall not transfer any right, title or interest in such information to Receiving Party.

3.4 The Receiving Party shall not reverse‑engineer, decompile, or disassemble any software or firmware disclosed or provided to it under this Agreement and shall not remove, overprint or deface any notice of confidentiality, copyright, trademark, logo, legend or other notices of ownership or confidentiality from any originals or copies of Proprietary Information it obtains from the Disclosing Party.
4 Remedies. Receiving Party acknowledges that a breach by it of any of the terms of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which Disclosing Party could not be adequately compensated by money damages. Accordingly, Receiving Party agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available to Disclosing Party in an action at law, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of the terms of this Agreement, the Disclosing Party shall, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security, be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.
5 Notice of Independent Knowledge or Breach. The Receiving Party agrees to notify the Disclosing Party promptly in writing if (a) upon disclosure of Proprietary Information by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party has prior knowledge of the same; or (b) subsequent to disclosure of any Proprietary Information by the Disclosing Party, information is disclosed to the Receiving Party in a manner described in Section 1.2 or (c) the Receiving Party becomes aware of any breach of this Agreement with respect to the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party’s possession.
6 Termination.
6.1 Notice and Effect of Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until it is terminated by either party with thirty (30) days prior written notice. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive any such termination with respect to Proprietary Information that is disclosed prior to the effective date of such termination for a period of [*] from the date of termination.

8 United States Government Regulations. The parties shall adhere to any applicable U.S. and foreign export control laws and regulations and shall not export or reexport any technical data or products received or the direct product of such technical data except in compliance with the applicable export control laws and regulations of the U.S. and any applicable foreign country.
9 Miscellaneous. This Agreement does not create any joint venture, pooling arrangement, agency or partnership relationship between the parties hereto, nor does it create any obligation or commitment on the part of either party to submit a proposal from or perform any contract or services with the other party. Nothing herein shall be construed as providing for the sharing of profits or losses arising out of the parties efforts. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts governing such agreements, without regard to conflicts‑of‑law principles. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be an appropriate federal or state court located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the parties agree not to raise, and waive, any objections or defenses based upon venue or forum non conveniens. This Agreement contains the complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings whether written or oral, express or implied. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. No amendment or alteration of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and executed by both parties hereto. A failure or delay in exercising any right in respect to this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall not be effective unless made in writing. Any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose given.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed below by their duly authorized signatories.
