Scorecard Guidelines

Scorecard is a set of performance expectations and measurement criteria for use in qualifying new Suppliers, and managing the ongoing long-term business relationship with existing Suppliers. The categories that will be evaluated are: Technology, Quality, Supply, Cost and Business.

The success of Supplier performance is rightfully shared with our Suppliers who specifically contribute to our commitment to excellence. Successful Supplier performance in the areas of TQSCB will increase the opportunity for repeat business, increased sales, and profitable growth.

A primary objective for procurement is: To maintain a competitive advantage by providing materials of the highest quality and lowest cost, with the best delivery, responsiveness, business practices and technology available by selecting fewer but better Suppliers. In order to accomplish this objective, the Scorecard criteria were developed.

The following measurement criteria are used as a guideline when rating the Supplier. The measurement criteria listed below is generic and was developed to help define the Scorecard expectations and is intended as a guideline only. A specific program may be adapted by HP and Supplier to better evaluate individual business needs. Any additions or changes by HP will be communicated to Supplier prior to the evaluation, to ensure that the opportunity to meet the expectations is made available.

TECHNOLOGY

HP must compete in the world market on the basis of manufacturing technology, as well as design technology. We expect our Suppliers to be technological leaders in their respective fields of design and manufacturing. Suppliers are expected to participate in mutual engineering throughout HP’s products’ life cycle to enable timely introductions, technical support and continuous quality and cost improvements.

QUALITY

HP set a quality goal of zero defective products for electrical, mechanical, cosmetic, and administrative reasons. HP’s quality expectation is defect-free materials. Quality and reliability are expected to be achieved through superior design, process control and continuous process improvements. All material is to be fit for use, and to be cosmetically acceptable.

SUPPLY

HP expects Suppliers to be responsive to swings in demand, with short cycle times, and appropriate inventory management, while maintaining flexible capacity capabilities to successfully resolve problems proactively and improve worldwide service. Deliveries are expected to be 100% on time all the time within a window of -3/+0 (three days early and no days late). To achieve this expectation there must be continuous improvement in overall delivery performance and our Suppliers must be prepared to meet commitments worldwide. Lead times must be short by industry standards, reliable and decreasing over time.

COST

HP expects to minimize costs and obtain the lowest average price worldwide. Suppliers are expected to demonstrate financial stability, initiate aggressive cost reductions and provide accurate price forecasting.

HP CONFIDENTIAL HP/SB1 June 1, 2006 Page 20 of 22

STANDARD SERVICES AGREEMENT [TEMPLATE] AGREEMENT NO._______________

BUSINESS

Suppliers are expected to demonstrate their ability to align with HP’s business model and manage the necessary risks. Suppliers are expected to perform to acceptable standards of conduct within the global community as well as fundamental business practices.

HP recognizes its obligations to be a good citizen in each nation and community in which it operates. HP must conduct its operations in such a manner that protects the environmental quality of these countries and communities. Our Suppliers are an integral part of this effort; therefore, HP Suppliers are expected to conduct their operations in an environmentally responsible manner.

By setting Supplier expectations HP hopes to: maximize customer satisfaction; maximize profitability for all contributors to the system; maximize responsiveness to change; and provide a framework for effective communications

To accomplish these objectives HP will need to: establish and maintain long-term commitments; promote effective communications; obtain mutual agreement on expectations and goals; treat a Supplier’s process as an extension of HP’s processes; and utilize a team approach to achieve performance improvements (proactive/cooperative).
