If Flextronics is required to prepare and provide Nortel Networks with a SCO Form, Nortel Networks shall, upon receipt of such SCO Form, promptly determine if it will agree to go forward with the change. If Nortel Networks agrees to have the change

- 19 -

implemented, the Parties shall negotiate any open issues, including additional liability that shall be identified on a revised SCO Form, and set the implementation date. Nortel Networks shall not pay charges unless specifically identified by Flextronics on the SCO Form and agreed to by Nortel Networks within ten (10) Business Days. Flextronics and Nortel Networks shall each pay their own costs associated with the assessment and implementation of the change to the Services. Nortel Networks may not unreasonably withhold consent to a proposed change.

7.1.2 Nortel Networks Proposal

In the event Nortel Networks has created a SCO, Flextronics shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of Nortel Networks’ proposal, respond to such SCO with a Service Change Impact Form that will include but not be limited to information relating to cost and timeline. Upon receipt by Nortel Networks of the Service Change Impact Form, Nortel Networks shall promptly determine if it wishes Flextronics to implement the change. If Nortel Networks requires the change to be implemented, the Parties shall negotiate any open issues, including additional liability that shall be identified on a revised Service Change Impact Form, and set the implementation date. Flextronics shall fully implement the SCO and co-ordinate the activities of Flextronics’ sub-contractors, if necessary for such implementation. Nortel Networks shall not pay charges unless specifically identified by Flextronics on the original or the revised Service Change Impact Form. Flextronics and Nortel Networks shall each pay their own costs associated with the assessment and implementation of the change to the Services.

7.2 New Services

In the event that Nortel Networks desires to have additional services performed that are materially similar to those Services covered by Exhibits 1-A, 1-B and 1-C (collectively, “New Services”), Nortel Networks may in its sole discretion select to (i) perform such New Services itself; or (ii) enter into agreements with third parties to perform such New Services provided that Nortel Networks shall give adequate opportunity to Flextronics to submit a proposal for New Services and provided the proposal is competitive and meets the other stipulated requirements Nortel Networks shall give preference to a proposal from Flextronics for New Services. In the event the Parties have agreed to the provision of a New Service pursuant to the terms of a tender process, the New Service shall become a “Service” and any relevant Schedules shall be updated accordingly.

Section 8
QUALITY

8.1 Performance Metrics and Report Cards

8.1.1 Report Card

Flextronics shall complete report cards, which shall be used as a method to measure against the goals of quality, service and cost and shall deliver such report cards to Nortel Networks on a monthly basis coinciding with the monthly operations reviews provided

- 20 -

for in Section 2.4. The metrics used to derive the report card scores and the formats for the report cards shall be as set out in Exhibit “2”. Nortel Networks reserves the right to review the report cards and to conduct a joint audit with Flextronics to determine their accuracy.

8.1.2 Breach of Performance Metrics

(i) Breach of Performance Metrics Leading to Termination

The failure of Flextronics to obtain performance results above a Passing Grade on any of the performance metrics (as defined in the report cards as set out in Exhibit “2”) on the Global Report Card in Table 1 of Exhibit “2” or on the Regional Report Card (but only as it relates to North America and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions) in Table 2 of Exhibit “2” with respect to an applicable Service as a result of any act or omission within Flextronics’ Control and Responsibility, [•], constitutes a material breach of Flextronics’ obligations under this Agreement. Such a material breach shall entitle Nortel Networks, at its discretion, to terminate this Agreement.

(ii) Breach of Performance Metrics Without Termination

The failure of Flextronics to obtain performance results above a Passing Grade on any of the performance metrics (as defined in the report cards as set out in Exhibit “2”) on the Regional Report Card (but only as it relates to the Caribbean and Latin America, and Asia Pacific regions) in Table 2 of Exhibit “2”, on the Delivery Facility Site Report Card in Table 3 of Exhibit “2”, or on the Delivery Facility Site by Region Report Card in Table 4 of Exhibit “2” with respect to an applicable Service as a result of any act or omission within Flextronics’ Control and Responsibility, [•], constitutes a material breach of Flextronics’ obligations under this Agreement. Such a material breach shall entitle Nortel Networks, at its discretion, to perform the relevant Services itself, engage a third party to perform the relevant Services, or direct Flextronics on how specifically the relevant Services should be performed.

8.1.3 Transition Period Performance

Nortel Networks acknowledges that Flextronics’ ability to perform its obligations at the Effective Date under the attached Exhibits is dependent upon Flextronics ability to engage certain Nortel Networks current 3PL providers to continue to perform the Services defined in this Agreement at the metric levels required in Exhibit 2. In addition, as it relates to Class A returns activity, Flextronics’ ability to perform its obligations at the Effective Date is dependent upon Nortel Networks timely transfer of the necessary Nortel Networks’ equipment, information, processes and personnel, to satisfy the requirements set forth in the Exhibit 1-B, Section 1.7.

- 21 -

Nortel Networks agrees to provide all reasonable assistance to Flextronics including the assignment of certain agreements and, as appropriate, the facilitation of discussions with other third parties that Flextronics desires to engage, to assist Flextronics in gaining the capability to deliver the Services in accordance with the stipulated service levels.

Except where indicated in the relevant Service Exhibit, Flextronics shall be obligated to deliver all of the Services as of the Effective Date, provided however that during the four (4) month period after the Effective Date, Nortel Networks shall not use any breachable metric measured during this 4 month period to terminate this Agreement pursuant to section 8.1.2 of this Agreement for Breach of Performance Metrics unless the breach of the performance metric is solely attributable to an action of Flextronics.

To the extent that during this four month period Flextronics is able to demonstrate that any of the service levels were not achieved prior to the Effective Date, then Flextronics shall be excused from achieving the service level. In this circumstance, the Parties agree to meet and negotiate in good faith a timeline for achieving the service level including any associated cost issues and to amend the relevant Exhibit/s to reflect the agreed resolution.

If subsequent to the agreed timeline to achieve the required service level, Flextronics still cannot achieve the required service level then, notwithstanding the commitments and obligations in Section 1.3 of this Agreement, Nortel Networks shall be permitted to arrange for the Services from another service provider or provide the Service itself until Flextronics is able to reasonably demonstrate that Flextronics can achieve the required service level.

8.2 Industry Standards

If in existence on the Effective Date, Flextronics agrees to maintain the industry standards set out below. If Nortel Networks requires Flextronics to implement an industry standard not certified on the Effective Date, Flextronics will pursue such standard, subject to the mutual agreement of the Parties on the associated costs.

(a)		ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 compliance at Delivery Facilities;

(b)		applicable TL9000 requirements requested by Nortel Networks;

(e)		senior management reviews are undertaken to discuss quality across all processes.

- 22 -

8.3 Source Inspection

Nortel Networks may perform source inspections of means and processes at any Delivery Facility or subcontractor facility (if applicable) whenever Nortel Networks decides it is necessary. The source inspection shall be conducted during normal business hours and with reasonable prior written notice to Flextronics.

8.4 Service Quality

(a)

Flextronics covenants and agrees to maintain a level of quality with respect to workmanship, testing and packaging processes that shall result in the achievement of the performance metrics as specified in Exhibit “2”, measured on a monthly basis. For any breach of a performance metric, Flextronics shall provide to Nortel Networks (a) a root cause analysis, (b) an action plan detailing corrective actions required and (c) the action register showing the status of the action plan.

(b)

For each Delivery Facility, Flextronics will develop a quality performance program no less stringent than the standards currently in place in the relevant delivery facility of Nortel Networks. Flextronics’ compliance with these standards will be measured monthly pursuant to Exhibit “2”.

(c)

Nortel Networks may notify Flextronics in writing if Flextronics has failed to meet the requirements set forth in either subsection (a) or (b) above. If, during the Term, NNL so notifies Flextronics in each of three (3) consecutive months, Flextronics shall be deemed to be in material breach of this Agreement.

Section 9
SERVICE COST MANAGEMENT PROCESS

9.1 Prices for Services

The Parties agree that Nortel Networks’ cost for Services will be variable in nature. The Price for Services shall be calculated in accordance with the following methods:

	(a)		Cost Method for Services in Exhibit “1-A”. The Price for the Services in Exhibit “1-A” in or before Year 1 shall be equal to the [· ]. The Price for the Services in Exhibit “1-A” in or before Year 1 shall be adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect any Ongoing Cost Reductions as defined in section 9.6.2 below. In or before Year 1, if no Nortel Networks rate exists for a given lane and service level then Flextronics will charge Nortel Networks the [· ] for the relevant lane and service level.

			In Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and any Year thereafter during which this Agreement continues in force the Price for the Services in Exhibit “1-A” shall be the [· ]. For the purpose of this clause, “Actual Flextronics Costs” means the actual costs exclusive of rebates paid by Flextronics to provide the Services. Notwithstanding

- 23 -

			the preceding, should [•] in Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4 not be at least equal to or lower than the Price at the end of Year 1, then Flextronics shall charge Nortel Networks the Price in effect at the end of Year 1.

			Additionally, in or before Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and any Year thereafter during which this Agreement continues in force, Flextronics shall be permitted to pass on to Nortel Networks any temporary industry surcharges that are assessed against Nortel Networks shipments. Flextronics shall only be entitled to recover their actual costs as they relate to Nortel Networks shipments and no Margin shall apply. These surcharges should be identified as separate charges and shall only apply as long as the industry surcharge exists.

(i)

Flextronics must obtain Nortel Networks written approval prior to making any changes to the delivery of Services that will cause an increase in cost by more than [•], unless such change in cost is related to an increased volume of Services to be provided. Flextronics shall not make changes that cause an increase in the Price for the Services unless those increased costs are to offer new services or are offset by reduced Material Purchase Prices in the MCMSA.

	(b)		Cost Method for Services in Exhibit “1-B”: The Price for the Services in Exhibit “1-B” form part of the Materials Purchase Price.

	(c)		Cost Method for Services in Exhibit “1–C”: As of the Effective Date, the Parties agree that the Services in Exhibit “1-C” will be provided by a third party. The costs for the Services provided by that third party will be paid directly by Nortel Networks. If, after the Effective Date, Nortel Networks desires Flextronics to provide certain of the Services described in Exhibit “1-C”, and Flextronics and Nortel Networks agree that Flextronics should begin to deliver all or part of the Services described in Exhibit “1-C”, Nortel Networks agrees to pay Flextronics for agreed to costs associated with Flextronics providing those Services [•].

9.2 Payment, Taxes and Duties

9.2.1 Invoices

After the Services in Exhibit “1-A” have been performed, Flextronics shall issue invoices every other week in the currency specified in an Order net of any discounts or initial overpayments made by Flextronics to Flextronics’ sub-contractors. If Actual Flextronics’ Costs are paid by Flextronics in a currency other than that which Flextronics will be invoicing Nortel Networks, then Flextronics shall use the Currency Conversion factor to calculate the invoice. Nortel Networks shall be credited for any amounts resulting from audits which result in lower costs after initial invoices are issued by Flextronics. On each invoice submitted to Nortel Networks, Flextronics will reference the appropriate Order.

- 24 -

Flextronics agrees not to assess any applicable excise tax, sales tax, goods and services tax, value added or similar taxes where Nortel Networks furnishes Flextronics a tax exemption certificate, a certificate of authority, a direct pay permit and/or any equivalent acceptable to the applicable taxing authority. Nortel Networks shall withhold any applicable withholding tax from payments made to Flextronics pursuant to this Agreement. To assist Flextronics in obtaining any tax credits for the amounts withheld, Nortel Networks shall promptly provide Flextronics with such evidence as may be reasonably required by the applicable taxing authorities to establish that such withholding tax has been paid.

The Parties shall co-operate with each other to minimize the amount of tax payable pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with applicable laws. Each Party shall provide the other Party or any other Person with any certificates, tax numbers, supplier invoices or any other documents, which may reduce the taxes payable by a Party or entitle a Party to recover taxes paid.

9.2.2 Payment

Payment shall be made net [•] from the date of the invoice. In the event that payment of the invoice has not been made by the due date and Flextronics cannot provide a proof of delivery of said invoice, then Nortel Networks shall not be considered in breach of this Agreement.

The Parties will agree to an accounts payable/accounts receivable process to proactively resolve any payment and invoicing issues in a timely manner.

Nortel Networks may deduct any undisputed credit due and owing it, upon approval of Flextronics. Payment shall be made in the currency of the invoice issued by Flextronics. Nortel Networks shall pay by wire transfer in the jurisdictions where this is possible.

Nortel Networks shall identify any dispute with respect to an invoice within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such invoice.

[•]

9.3 Financial Review and Targets

Flextronics shall review quarterly as part of the quarterly business reviews described in Section 2.2(a) [•]. As part of such review, Flextronics shall provide key financial performance reports as detailed in Exhibit “3”.

- 25 -

9.4 Forecasting

Flextronics shall present its forecasted expenditure plans that relate to the Services, with the relevant cost quotes and budget for Services, quarterly to Nortel Networks. The forecasted expenditures for Services expenses shall be categorized by Delivery Facility. Freight expenditure forecasts will be based on forecasted demand as provided by Nortel Networks. Flextronics shall not be required to provide forecasts that extend beyond the term of those forecasts provided by Nortel Networks.

Current forecasts will be submitted for the current quarter plus two quarters in the future. An operations budget will be itemized by categories outlined in Exhibit “3”. Flextronics’ freight and duty budget forecast will be categorized by items including, but not limited to: (i) Nortel Networks region; (ii) Nortel Networks leadership category or business unit; and (iii) Delivery Facility. The freight and duty budget will include estimates by transportation mode (air, ground, sea) and service level (express, standard, deferred).

9.5 Audit

	(a)		Nortel Networks shall have the right, upon five Business Days notice, to conduct a cost audit of the costs related to the Services. This may include the audit of purchase orders, invoices, and financial records.

	(b)		Flextronics shall not be required to share any documents where doing so would be a violation of any third party agreements of confidentiality.

	(c)		Nortel Networks shall have the right, upon five Business Days notice, to conduct a general audit of performance related to the Services by Flextronics and the performance of Flextronics’ sub-contractors. This may include, but is not limited to, site visits, inspection of quality, warehouse management, material handling, and financial processes and systems, and inspection of the business continuity policy and its implementation.

	(d)		Flextronics shall provide Nortel Networks access and assistance to premises, facilities, employees, process documentation, business records, financial records, suppliers, contracts and agreements with suppliers, and other relevant information and documentation.

	(e)		Nortel Networks and Flextronics will each bear their own costs related to the audit except where the audit reveals that Flextronics is materially in breach of it obligations under the Agreement. In this case, the Flextronics will reimburse Nortel Networks immediately (being not more than two (2) Business Days) for its reasonable audit expense plus any amounts charged to Nortel Networks incorrectly. In the case where Flextronics has invoiced Nortel Networks by five thousand dollars more than it should have, Flextronics in addition to refunding any overcharge shall also be liable for Nortel Networks reasonable audit expenses.

- 26 -

(f)

Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall keep confidential all information gathered in this audit process, including not disclosing such information directly or indirectly to any competitor or supplier of the disclosing Party.

Flextronics shall promptly remedy any non-compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, which is revealed by the audit.

9.6 Cost Reduction with respect to Services described in Exhibit “1-A”

The Parties agree that one of Flextronics’ primary goals is to reduce costs while ensuring delivery of the Services at or above the performance standards set out in this Agreement. At the end of Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and any Year thereafter during which this Agreement continues in force, Flextronics shall demonstrate to Nortel Networks the achievement of cost reductions related to the Services in Exhibit “1-A” through a manual reconciliation exercise whereby each program is assessed to determine the extent of the cost reduction.

Additionally, the model described in Schedule “A” to Exhibit “3” shall be used to measure the achievement of cost reductions related to the Services in Exhibit “1-A” at an aggregate level. At the end of each quarter, Flextronics covenants and agrees to provide to Nortel Networks all data related to the manual reconciliation exercise and the information required to complete the model described in Schedule “A” to Exhibit “3” in preparation for the cost reviews described in Section 9.3, in a prompt manner.

9.6.1 Intentionally left blank

9.6.2 On-Going Cost Reduction with respect to Services described in Exhibit “1-A”

“On-Going Cost Reduction” or “OCR” means cost reduction that Nortel Networks would have been able to achieve through its own efforts and through Nortel Networks’ existing supply chain, had it retained the Operations. For greater certainty, (i) OCR is the universe of cost reduction minus ICR (as defined below) and (ii) OCR cannot be used to fulfill the ICR Commitment, as set out below. “OCR Commitment” is equal to the cost reductions that Flextronics commits to achieving based on the process defined below.

For Year 1, the Parties shall meet prior to the Commencement Date to discuss the OCR Commitment for Year 1. Flextronics shall provide an OCR Commitment applicable to the Services described in Exhibit “1-A”. OCR is calculated by [•]. The programs that Xxxxxxxxxxx agrees to implement to deliver the OCR in Year 1 are listed in Schedule “C” to Exhibit “3”. OCR programs with respect to the Services in Exhibit “1-A” include, but are not limited to: mode and service levels (air, ground, sea, express, deferred); transportation lanes; efficiencies; Flextronics’ or Nortel Networks’ sub-contractor negotiations; and direct ship.

- 27 -

For each of Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and any Year thereafter during which this Agreement continues in force, the Parties shall meet ninety (90) days prior to the start of the applicable Year to discuss the annually set OCR Commitment for the upcoming Year. The purpose of these meetings is to provide an opportunity for the Parties to brainstorm to identify the OCR programs for the upcoming Year including but not limited to: business cases defining savings; head count; investment; risk; timeframe; capital; and implementation schedule. The meeting must produce an OCR Commitment for the applicable Year based on the OCR programs identified by the Parties that Flextronics must achieve.

Additionally, at any time during the term of this Agreement, Nortel Networks or Flextronics may propose other intra-year OCR programs that have not been identified either in Schedule “C” to Exhibit “3” or during the annual joint OCR planning sessions. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith any OCR Commitment and implementation timetable related to these additional OCR programs.

If Flextronics is able to implement any OCR program prior to the implementation date agreed to by the Parties such that the benefits of the cost reduction program also begins to accrue prior to the planned implementation date, then Nortel Networks agrees to share the incremental benefit of the early implementation equally with Flextronics. In addition, if the OCR program yields cost reductions during the first 90 days past the planned implementation date greater than that agreed to by the Parties, then Flextronics shall be entitled to the benefit of this greater than expected savings. [•].

If Flextronics does not achieve its annually set OCR Commitment for a given Year such that the logistics costs have decreased by the applicable OCR Commitment (as determined in the manual reconciliation process) then, at the end of the respective Year, Nortel Networks shall be entitled, at its option, either (i) to set-off such amount indicated below against the Price for Services; or (ii) to require Flextronics to provide a certified cheque to Nortel Networks, equal to the total Price for Services in Exhibit “1-A” for the applicable Year as defined in section 9.1 (a) times (OCR Commitment (expressed as a percentage) minus actual OCR achieved (expressed as a percentage) in applicable Year).

If Flextronics does not achieve its intra-year OCR Commitment for any additional OCR program agreed to by the Parties such that the logistics costs have decreased by the applicable OCR Commitment (as determined in the manual reconciliation process) then at the end of the 12 month period following the planned implementation date of any additional OCR program agreed to by the Parties, Nortel Networks shall be entitled, at its option, either (i) to set-off such amount indicated below against the Price for Services; or (ii) to require Flextronics to provide a certified cheque to Nortel Networks, equal to the total cost of the Exhibit “1-A” Services related to the OCR program times (OCR Commitment (expressed as a percentage) minus actual OCR (expressed as a percentage) related to the OCR program).

- 28 -

Additionally Flextronics shall achieve Flextronics Freight OCR in Year 3 and Year 4. “Flextronics Freight OCR” means that the Price for Services in Exhibit “1-A” in Year 3 will be [•] than Price for Services in Exhibit “1-A”for Year 2, and Price for Services in Exhibit “1-A” in Year 4 will be [•] than Price for Services in Exhibit “1-A” for Year 3. The Flextronics Freight OCR will be measured by comparing the Price for Services in Exhibit “1-A”in the relevant Year to the Calculated Flextronics Cost to provide the same Services. For purposes of this clause, the “Calculated Flextronics Cost” is calculated by applying the rates that Flextronics has in place with its suppliers in the previous Year to each shipment made in relevant Year, using the same mode and service level used by Flextronics for those same shipments. All temporary industry surcharges shall be netted out of the costs.

[•].

Flextronics will pay all Flextronics’ costs associated with identification of cost reduction opportunities.

Flextronics shall maintain lists of opportunities for On-Going Cost Reduction. Flextronics shall, as part of its plan to reduce cost and continuously improve processes, seek out other continuous improvement opportunities within the logistics chain.

9.6.3 Incremental Cost Reduction with respect to Services described in Exhibit “1-A”

“Incremental Cost Reduction” or “ICR” means cost reduction that Nortel Networks would not have been able to achieve, through its own efforts and/or its existing supply chain, if it had retained the Operations. For greater certainty, (i) a list of the programs which may be used by Flextronics to achieve ICR is set out in Schedule “D” to Exhibit “3” (“ICR Programs”); and (ii) ICR cannot be used to fulfill OCR Commitments in any Year. The ICR Programs generally relate to reductions in the freight rates.

[•].

Flextronics shall track and report the achievement of the ICR Commitment. The ICR Commitment in each of Year 2 and Year 3 will be measured by comparing the Price for the Services in Exhibit “1-A” for the respective Year to the Calculated Nortel Networks Cost to provide the same Services in that Year. For purposes of this clause, the “Calculated Nortel Networks Cost” is calculated by applying the rates that Nortel Networks has in place with its current suppliers as of the Effective Date, minus all of OCR associated with those rates that has been achieved up to the start of the relevant Year, to each shipment made in the same Year, using the same mode and service level used by Flextronics for those same shipments. All temporary industry surcharges shall be netted out of the costs.

- 29 -

9.6.4 Other Cost Changes with respect to Services described in Exhibit “1-A”

The Parties recognize that there are variables that influence logistics costs that fall outside of the control of those responsible for managing these costs. These variables would include such things as product design changes (i.e. product weighs less or more), sourcing decisions (i.e. may need to ship a different distance or across boarders), etc. The Parties agree that the cost impact of these variables shall be excluded from OCR and ICR discussions under this Agreement. However, for the purposes of supporting ICR discussions under the MCMSA, Flextronics shall track and report on a project by project basis the impact to cost for the Exhibit “1-A” Services due to ICR initiatives under the MCMSA or if applicable, any VSHA.

9.7 Cost Reduction with respect to Services described in Exhibit “1-B”

Nortel Networks will receive the benefit of OCR and ICR programs with respect to Services described in Exhibit “1-B” as adjustments in the Materials Purchase Price. The model in Schedule “B” to Exhibit “3” will be used to validate whether the level of recovery of costs by Flextronics as part of the Materials Purchase Price is consistent with the actual costs incurred by Flextronics. At the end of each quarter, Flextronics covenants and agrees to provide to Nortel Networks the information required to complete the model in preparation for the cost reviews described in Section 9.3.

9.7.1 On-Going Cost Reduction with respect to Services described in Exhibit “1-B”

For each of Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and any Year thereafter during which this Agreement continues in force, the Parties shall meet ninety (90) days prior to the start of the applicable Year to discuss the OCR Commitment for the upcoming Year. The purpose of these meetings is to provide an opportunity for the Parties to brainstorm to identify the OCR programs for the upcoming Year including, but not limited to: business cases defining savings; head count; investment; risk; timeframe; capital; and implementation schedule. The meeting must produce an OCR Commitment that will be built into the Materials Purchase Price for the applicable Year based on the OCR programs identified by the Parties.

Additionally, at any time during the term of this Agreement, Nortel Networks or Flextronics may propose other OCR programs that have not been identified either in Schedule “C” to Exhibit “3” or during the annual joint OCR planning sessions. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith any OCR Commitment and implementation timetable related to these additional OCR programs.

- 30 -

	22.1.2		In addition to any other right or remedy available to Nortel Networks or any Nortel Company under this Agreement or at law or in equity, if Flextronics breaches any

- 45 -

			material term of this Agreement or an Order and such breach is susceptible of cure but is not corrected within thirty (30) days after the delivery of written notice thereof by Nortel Networks to Flextronics or if Flextronics defaults in any payment to Nortel Networks and does not correct the default in payment issue within thirty (30) days after the date of notice of the breach to Flextronics, NNL may terminate this Agreement and any Nortel Company may terminate any Order. For greater certainty, if any Blanket Purchase Order is terminated, all Orders relating thereto shall be deemed to be concurrently terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Nortel Networks and any Nortel Company shall have the same rights and remedies without the requirement to wait for thirty (30) days for cure if the breach by Flextronics relates to Nortel Company Proprietary Information under Section 12 or Section 20 hereof and such breach is not susceptible of cure; and (ii) Flextronics shall have the same rights and remedies without the requirement to wait for thirty (30) days for cure if the breach by any Nortel Company relates to Flextronics Company Proprietary Information under Section 12 or Section 20 hereof and such breach is not susceptible of cure.

	22.1.3		Regardless of the excuse of Force Majeure, if a Party is not able to perform within ninety (90) days after such event which constitutes Force Majeure, the other Party may terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 22.1 provided such Party purporting to terminate is not otherwise in default of any of its material obligations under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not release or diminish any other obligations of any Party hereunder that exist as of the date of termination.

	22.1.4		If Flextronics shall be declared insolvent or bankrupt, or if any assignment of its property shall be made for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, or if its interest herein shall be levied upon under execution or seized by virtue of any writ of any court, or if a petition for assignment for the benefit of creditor is filed in a court is filed by Flextronics to declare Flextronics bankrupt, or if a petition is filed by any person other than Flextronics in any court to declare Flextronics bankrupt which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of the filing of such petition, or if a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or receiver-manager or similar officer is appointed for or in respect of Flextronics or its assets, then Nortel Networks may terminate this Agreement and/or any Order at its option, and without charge, and shall thereupon be free from all liability and obligations thereunder except as specifically provided in Section 22.4(c), all subject to applicable bankruptcy and insolvency legislation which may otherwise provide. For greater certainty, if any Blanket Purchase Order is terminated, all Orders relating thereto shall be deemed to be concurrently terminated.

	22.1.5		Flextronics may terminate an Order only if the Nortel Company which issued the Order is in material breach of a term, including, without limitation, any payment obligation of this Agreement or an Order, and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the delivery of written notice thereof by Flextronics to Nortel Company defaulting in any payment to Flextronics and for any other breach

- 46 -

			within thirty (30) days after the date of Flextronics’ written notice thereof to the applicable Nortel Company in respect of the particular breach, provided that Flextronics has sent a copy of such notice to Nortel Networks. The failure of Nortel Networks to pay to Flextronics in a timely manner any moneys in dispute shall not constitute a material breach hereof.

	22.1.6		The Parties agree that the provisions of Exhibit “8” shall apply with respect to those employees in the United Kingdom who were employed by Nortel Networks prior to Effective Date, and were transferred to Flextronics pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement.

25.4 Audits

25.4.1 Agreement Compliance

Upon Nortel Networks’ prior reasonable request and at Nortel Networks’ cost, Flextronics shall cooperate in the audit of its records in the manner set forth below, for the purpose of confirming compliance with this Agreement. Nortel Networks may retain the services of a major, independent accounting firm, other than the accounting firm(s) employed as primary outside auditors of Nortel Networks’ or Flextronics (the “Accounting Firm”). In conducting any audit hereunder or in making a determination following such audit, the Accounting Firm shall be directed to take into consideration all relevant aspects of the matter being audited which may include, among other things, Service scope, volume levels, Service complexity, regulatory requirements, and Service costs for comparative purposes.

The Accounting Firm shall be required to maintain in confidence and not disclose to Nortel Networks any and all Confidential Information concerning the business, affairs and services of Flextronics that it may learn in the course of conducting its inspections, except to the extent that it discovers information indicating that Flextronics has violated its obligations under this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Accounting Firm make disclosure to Nortel Networks of information relating to any customer of Flextronics. Flextronics agrees to permit the Accounting Firm to inspect any of Flextronics’ facilities where Flextronics’ records are located or stored, and to fully cooperate with such audits including, without limitation, giving the Accounting Firm full access to all such facilities and all records, documents, and personnel related to the Services. Nortel Networks shall give reasonable notice to Flextronics of its desire to conduct such an audit. Audits shall occur during normal business hours and, except when Nortel Networks in its sole discretion believes a violation of this Agreement has occurred, shall occur not more often than once in any twelve (12) month period.

[•]

25.4.2 Control & Security Compliance

Upon five (5) Business Days notice to Flextronics and during normal business hours, Nortel Networks shall be permitted to audit, inspect and/or verify relevant Flextronics’ operations and other areas of Service to confirm that (i) Flextronics is maintaining controls and security measures specific to Flextronics’ fulfillment of its obligations to Nortel Networks pursuant to this Agreement (ii) xxxxxxxx to Nortel Networks are correct, (iii) reports relating to Flextronics’ performance are complete and accurate, (iv) records relating to consigned inventory are accurate, complete, valid and appropriately valued, and (v) proof of shipping are accurate, complete and valid (‘Inspections’). Nortel Networks shall clearly state the nature of the Inspection being requested.

- 50 -

Such Inspections shall be limited to information that relates directly to Flextronics’ fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Nortel Networks may conduct Inspections itself or with the assistance of a third party organization acceptable to Flextronics, provided that the third party organization executes a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Flextronics, at Nortel Networks expense, as appropriate. Inspections may be made as frequently as Nortel Networks reasonably deems appropriate.

Flextronics will provide to Nortel Networks and its respective auditors (including internal audit staff), inspectors, regulators, consultants and other representatives (collectively ‘Inspectors’) as Nortel Networks may from time to time designate in writing, reasonable access to, without limitation: (i) Flextronics’ facilities where the Services and/or operations are being performed; (ii) Flextronics’ personnel and subcontractors providing any of the Services/operations; and (iii) data and records, and (iv) operational or security audit reports and findings including remediation plans in the possession of Flextronics relating to any of the relevant Services and/or operations. Flextronics will provide such access to Inspectors upon reasonable written notice by Nortel Networks during regular business hours, provided that all such persons adhere to Flextronics’ customary security and safety policies and have executed a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Flextronics.

Upon request by Nortel Networks and with Flextronics’ prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Flextronics will assist and cooperate with Nortel Networks Inspectors in connection with Inspection functions, including the review and/or timely remediation of audit issues. Such cooperation shall extend to agreed Sarbanes Oxley regulatory compliance, as described below.

As the processes impacted by this Agreement and the Sarbanes Oxley rules and regulations for Section 404 compliance are more fully understood, both Flextronics and Nortel Networks will work together to determine the exact requirements needed to meet the Sarbanes Oxley Section 404 legislation. The Parties will work together to determine a reasonable, cost effective and mutually satisfactory solution to meet each Party’s compliance needs. Each Party will maximize the use of its own internal controls and internally available information to minimize the impact on the other Party.

All Inspections will be performed in a manner and frequency intended to minimize disruption to the Parties’ respective businesses.

25.5 Force Majeure

A Party affected by an event of Force Majeure shall be released without any liability on its part from the performance of its obligations (other than an obligation to pay money) under this Agreement, but only to the extent and only for the period that its performance of such obligations is prevented by circumstances of Force Majeure and provided that such Party shall have given prompt notice to the other Party. Such notice shall include a description of the nature of the event of Force Majeure, its cause, and its possible consequences. The Party claiming

- 51 -

circumstances of Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other Party of the conclusion of the event.

25.7 Independent Contractor

This Agreement shall not constitute Flextronics to be the agent or legal representative of Nortel Networks for any purpose and Flextronics shall not hold itself out as an agent of Nortel Networks other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. This Agreement creates no relationship of joint ventures, partners, associates, employment or principal and agent between the Parties, and both Parties are acting as independent contractors. Neither Party shall have the right to exercise any control or direction over the operations, activities, employees or agents of the other Party in connection with this Agreement. Other than as expressly permitted or provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Flextronics is not granted any right or authority to, and shall not attempt to, assume or create any obligation or responsibility for or on behalf of any Nortel Company or Affiliate. Flextronics shall have no authority to bind any Nortel Company or Affiliate to any contract, whether of employment or otherwise, and Flextronics shall bear all of its own expenses for its operations, including the compensation of its employees, contractors, representatives and agents and the maintenance of its offices, service, warehouse and transportation facilities. Flextronics shall be solely responsible for its own employees and sales people and for their omissions, acts and the things done by them. Other than as expressly permitted or provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Nortel Networks expressly disclaims any liability for any commitments on behalf of Nortel Networks made by Flextronics.

25.8 Contractor Responsible for its Contractors

Flextronics may subcontract Services only with Nortel Networks’ prior written approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld in Nortel Networks’ sole discretion. The approval by Nortel Networks of any subcontractor chosen by Flextronics shall in no way be construed to relieve Flextronics of any of its duties, responsibilities and obligations to Nortel Networks under this Agreement.

25.9 Assignment

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any license or rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be assignable or otherwise transferable whether by merger, operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any change of control in fact of a Party shall be deemed to constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Section.

Subject to the condition that Flextronics is satisfied, upon reasonable evidence, that such future assignee possesses sufficient creditworthiness and future assignee has accepted the assignment without reservation, NNL may assign this Agreement or any portion thereof (i) to any of NNL’s Subsidiaries or company of which NNL becomes a Subsidiary; or (ii) to a person or entity into which it has merged or which has otherwise succeeded to all or substantially all of its business and assets to which this Agreement pertains, by purchase of stock, assets, merger, reorganization

- 53 -

or otherwise, and which has assumed in writing or by operation of law its obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be void. In any assignment in case (ii) above, the person or entity into which NNL has merged or which has otherwise succeeded to all or substantially all of NNL’s business and assets, shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Flextronics agrees to give NNL, to the extent legally permissible, notice of the direct or indirect acquisition by any entity of (1) shares in the capital of Flextronics or of any Subsidiary of Flextronics who is a party to this Agreement, if rights sufficient to elect a majority of the board of directors of such entity (pursuant to a shareholders agreement or otherwise) are attached to such shares or such Subsidiary of Flextronics ceases to be a Subsidiary of Flextronics, or (2) substantially all of the assets of Flextronics or of such Subsidiary of Flextronics.

25.10 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any competent authority in any jurisdiction, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any manner affect or render illegal, invalid or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction, and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced for the purposes of the jurisdiction in which it is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable with an enforceable clause which most closely achieves the result intended by the invalid provision.

25.11 Governing Law

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, interpretation and performance of this Agreement, the rights and obligations arising hereunder and any purchase made hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without reference to the UNCITRAL Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law, rules or provisions (whether of such Province or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the Province of Ontario shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of Law or conflict of Law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES, WHETHER IT RESULTS IN PROCEEDINGS IN ANY COURT IN ANY JURISDICTION OR IN ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND HAVING HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL MATTERS SHALL BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR ARBITRATOR WITHOUT A JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
