2.3. Tooling; Non-Recurring Expenses; Software. Customer shall pay for or obtain and consign to Flextronics any Product-specific tooling, equipment or software and other reasonably necessary non-recurring items, to be mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 2.3 (collectively, “Consigned Equipment”). All software that Customer provides to Flextronics or any test software that Customer engages Flextronics to develop is and shall remain the property of Customer. Flextronics shall not reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile any software Customer provides to Flextronics, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law, and then only after Flextronics has notified Customer in writing of its intended activities. Title to Consigned Equipment remains at all times with Customer, and Flextronics shall not permit any lien or encumbrance created by or through Flextronics to exist on the Consigned Equipment. Customer shall be the importer of record of the Consigned Equipment, but Flextronics shall assist Customer to obtain all permits, licenses, approvals and registrations that are required for the importation of the Consigned Equipment. Flextronics shall bear responsibility for any damage or loss of Consigned Equipment due to Flextronics’ negligence or willful misconduct while such Consigned Equipment is on the premises of Flextronics. Upon reasonable notice, Customer shall have the right to access the facility at which the Consigned Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting, installing, testing, repairing and maintaining such Consigned Equipment. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Flextronics shall promptly return at Customer’s cost and expense or otherwise make available to Customer all Consigned Equipment.

2.4. Cost Reduction Projects. Flextronics agrees to seek ways to reduce the cost of manufacturing Products by methods such as elimination of Materials, redefinition of Specifications, and re-design of assembly or test methods. Flextronics will present to Customer any proposal for cost reduction projects and will implement such projects only with the prior written approval of Customer. Upon implementation of such ways that have been initiated by Flextronics and approved by Customer, each of Flextronics and Customer will receive 50% of the demonstrated cost reduction for the first twelve months of this Agreement, and Customer shall thereafter receive 100% of the demonstrated cost reduction. Customer will receive 100% of the demonstrated cost reduction upon implementation of such ways initiated by Customer. Customer and Flextronics will discuss cost reductions in conjunction with the quarterly fee review set forth in Section 3.4(c).

2.5. Flextronics Facility. Flextronics shall perform the Work at the Flextronics facility located at Xx. 00 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xx Xx, Xxxxxxx, , Xxxxxxxx 201801, People’s Republic of China (the “Flextronics Facility”). Flextronics may perform the work at another location located in the People’s Republic of China without Customer’s prior written approval; provided that Flextronics notifies Customer in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to performing work at another Chinese location and provided further that such location change does not substantially affect the fees, taxes or other amounts payable by Customer hereunder. Flextronics shall notify Customer in the event it performs the assembly or test work at such another Chinese location. Flextronics shall not, without prior written approval by Customer, perform the work at a location other than the Flextronics Facility or such other Chinese location as permitted by this Section 2.5.

2.6. Quality Standards.

Flextronics shall notify Customer promptly if the Flextronics Facility loses or fails to renew its ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certification.

2.7. Resource Shortage. Excluding cases where Flextronics is excused entirely from performance under this Agreement or applicable law, in the event Flextronics is in a position to require the allocation of materials, facilities, equipment or personnel (collectively “Resources”) due to shortages, Flextronics shall fairly allocate, in a commercially reasonable manner, Resources for the period of time during which the cause of the shortages persists; provided however, that any such allocation shall allocate Resources to Customer in a manner that is at least as favorable to Customer as to other of Flextronics’s other similarly situated customers who provide the same or lesser amount of business at the facility where Products are manufactured for Customer. For purposes of determining whether another customer provides the same or lesser amount of business, such factors as monthly volume, the economic value of purchases, types of products and Inventory, level of variance between forecasts and actual demand shall be taken into account.

2.8. No Sales to Third Parties. Flextronics shall not sell Products to any third party without Customer’s prior written approval.

3. FORECASTS; ORDERS; FEES; PAYMENT

3.1. Forecast. Customer shall provide Flextronics, on a monthly basis, (a) a rolling twelve (12) month forecast indicating Customer’s monthly Product requirements for base systems, including without limitation the 200mm standard 4090 prober and the 300mm standard EG6000 prober (each a “Base System”), and (b) a rolling three (3) month forecast indicating Customer’s monthly Product requirements for (i) special systems, including without limitation the 200mm Pathfinder prober, the 200mm SMIF prober, the 200mm Mini-e prober and the 300mm EG6000e prober (each a “Special System”), (ii) options for final system configuration, and (iii) upgrade kits. Such forecasts shall be non-binding, except with respect to the purchase of Special Inventory pursuant to Section 4.1, and the first ninety (90) days of a forecast will constitute Customer’s written purchase order for all Work to be completed within the first ninety (90) day period. Such purchase orders will be issued in accordance with Section 3.2 below.

3.2. Purchase Orders; Precedence. Customer may use its standard purchase order form for any notice provided for hereunder; provided that all purchase orders must reference this Agreement and the applicable Specifications. The parties agree that the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall prevail over any terms and conditions of any such purchase order, acknowledgment form or other instrument.

3.3. Purchase Order Acceptance. Purchase orders shall be deemed accepted by Flextronics, provided however that Flextronics may reject any purchase order: (a) that is an amended order in accordance with Section 5.2 below because the purchase order is outside of the Flexibility Table; (b) if the fees reflected in the purchase order are inconsistent with the parties’ agreement with respect to the fees; (c) if the purchase order represents a significant deviation from the forecast for the same period, unless such deviation is within the parameters of the Flexibility Table; or (d) if a purchase order would extend Flextronics’s liability beyond Customer’s approved credit line; provided that Flextronics does not reduce such credit line other

3.4. than in accordance with Flextronics’ standard policies and procedures applicable to similar customers. Flextronics shall notify Customer of rejection of any purchase order within five (5) business days of receipt of such purchase order.

3.5. Fees; Changes; Taxes.

(a) The fees will be agreed by the parties and will be indicated on the purchase orders issued by Customer and accepted by Flextronics. The initial fees shall be as set forth on the Fee List attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 3.4 (the “Fee List”). If a Fee List is not attached or completed, then the initial fees shall be as set forth in purchase orders issued by Customer and accepted by Flextronics in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Customer is responsible for (i) additional fees and costs mutually agreed upon as set forth in Section 2.2 due to changes to the Specifications; (ii) additional fees and costs mutually agreed upon by Customer and Flextronics due to failure of Customer or its subcontractor to cure within thirty (30) days of written notice a failure to timely provide sufficient quantities or a reasonable quality level of Customer Controlled Materials where applicable to sustain the production schedule; and (iii) any pre-approved expediting charges reasonably necessary because of a change in Customer's requirements.

(c) The fees may be reviewed quarterly by the parties. Any changes and timing of changes shall be agreed by the parties in writing, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. By way of example only, the fees may be increased upon the written agreement of the parties if the market price of fuels, Materials, equipment, labor and other production costs, increase beyond normal variations in pricing or currency exchange rates as demonstrated by Flextronics; or if the actual volume of Products ordered by Customer is greater than or less than the volume anticipated by the parties as of the Effective Date.

(d) All fees are exclusive of federal, state and local excise, sales, use, VAT, and similar transfer taxes, and any duties, and Customer shall be responsible for all such items. This subsection (d) does not apply to taxes on Flextronics’s net income.

(e) (i) All payments to Flextronics incurred for the Products delivered and Work conducted under this Agreement shall be made in the “Payment Currency” by electronic funds transfer into Flextronics’s designated bank account. “Payment Currency” means the currency specified in Section 3.5 for payment of amounts due hereunder which shall be based on the currency in which most of the costs of the Work will be incurred, provided however, if the currency in which most of the costs of the Work will be incurred is not (x) the local currency of the location of one of the parties or (y) the “functional currency” of one of the parties for accounting purposes, then the “Payment Currency” will be the currency which satisfies either (x) or (y) in which the greatest portion of the costs of the Project will be incurred.

(ii) To the extent any costs included in the calculation of the amount due to Flextronics hereunder are paid by Flextronics in a currency other than the Payment Currency and must be converted into the Payment Currency for calculation of the amount due under this Agreement, the amounts payable under this Agreement will be set on a quarterly basis for the upcoming quarter based on exchange rate(s) calculated as follows: (1) for currencies for which Flextronics has obtained a forward contract to hedge its exposure to currency fluctuations, the hedge rate, and (2) for currencies for which Flextronics has not hedged, the closing currency exchange rate(s) as reported on Reuters' page USDFIX on the 25th day of the last month of each calendar quarter (or the business day immediately following such date if such date is not a business day). Costs incurred in the Payment Currency shall not be hedged. Costs that are incurred in currencies other than the Payment Currency will be hedged unless insignificant in amount. No more than ten percent (10%) of the costs incurred in currencies other than the Payment Currency shall be unhedged. In the event the actual costs in a quarter are less than projected and, as a consequence, Flextronics has over hedged any currency, the over hedged portion may be used for the following quarter for purposes of calculating the conversion into the Payment Currency. In the event the actual costs in a quarter are higher than projected and, as a

consequence, Flextronics has to conclude additional foreign currency xxxxxx, such a

difference will be settled by one party in favor of the other party, as applicable. Hence, any cost savings for Flextronics out of a favorable Non-USD movement will be passed on to Customer as a credit note; likewise, any cost increase based on an unfavorable Non-USD movement will be settled by means of a debit note. Such credit/debit notes are payable within thirty (30) days of issuance. Upon request Flextronics shall provide Customer with copies of the bank confirmations for the hedge contracts for the currencies described in subsection (i) above and the basis for its calculation of the exchange rate for currencies described in this subsection.

3.6. Payment. Customer agrees to pay all invoices in U.S. Dollars within thirty (30) days of the date of Customer’s receipt of the invoice. Flextronics shall keep and maintain complete and accurate books, records and accounts relating to this Agreement.

Late Payment. Customer agrees to pay one and one-half percent (1.5%) monthly interest on all late payments. Furthermore, if Customer is late with payments and Customer has not remedied such late payment within five (5) days of receipt of written notice of such late payment, Flextronics may (a) stop all Work under this Agreement until assurances of payment satisfactory to Flextronics are received or payment is received; (b) demand prepayment for purchase orders; (c) delay shipments; and (d) to the extent that Flextronics’s personnel cannot be reassigned to other billable work during such stoppage, invoice Customer for additional reasonable labor fees before the Work can resume. Customer agrees to provide all necessary financial information reasonably required by Flextronics from time to time in order to make a proper assessment of the creditworthiness of Customer.

3.7. Letter of Credit. Within forty-five (45) days of Flextronics’s request made at any time during the term of this Agreement, Customer agrees to obtain and maintain a stand-by letter of credit or such other financial instrument mutually agreed upon by the parties on behalf of Flextronics to support Customer’s payment obligations set forth in this Agreement and to minimize the financial risk to Flextronics for its performance of the Work under this Agreement. The stand-by letter of credit or other mutually agreed upon financial instrument shall be for a minimum period of time of six (6) months and shall be for a total amount that is equal to the total value of the risks associated with Inventory, Special Inventory, and the accounts receivable from Customer. The calculation shall be based upon the forecast provided by Customer pursuant to Section 3.1. The draw down procedures under the stand-by letter of credit or other mutually agreed upon financial instrument shall be determined solely by Flextronics. Flextronics will, in good faith, review Customer's creditworthiness periodically and may provide more favorable terms once it feels it is prudent to do so.

4. MATERIALS PROCUREMENT; CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY FOR MATERIALS

4.1. Authorization to Procure Materials, Inventory and Special Inventory. Customer's accepted purchase orders and forecast will constitute authorization for Flextronics to procure, without Customer’s prior approval, (a) Inventory to manufacture the Products covered by such purchase orders based on the Lead Time and (b) certain Special Inventory based on Customer’s purchase orders and forecast as follows: Long Lead-Time Materials as required based on the Lead Time when such purchase orders are placed and Minimum Order Inventory as required by the supplier.

For purposes of this Section 4.3 only, the term “Flextronics” includes any Flextronics Affiliate. Customer shall give Flextronics every opportunity to include Flextronics’s strategic suppliers on AVL’s for Materials that such Flextronics suppliers can supply. If such a Flextronics supplier is competitive with other suppliers with respect to reasonable and unbiased criteria for acceptance established by Customer, such Flextronics supplier shall be included on such AVL’s. If such Flextronics supplier is on an AVL and its prices and quality and other terms and conditions of sale (e.g., cancellation policy, Lead Times) are competitive with other vendors, Customer will raise no objection to Flextronics sourcing Materials from such Flextronics supplier.

4.4. Customer Responsibility for Inventory and Special Inventory. Customer is responsible under the conditions provided in this Agreement for all Materials, Inventory and Special Inventory purchased by Flextronics in accordance with Section 4.1 with respect to the forecast and any purchase orders accepted by Flextronics from Customer.

4.5. Materials Warranties. Without limiting the Flextronics warranties provided pursuant to Section 6.2, Flextronics shall endeavor to obtain and pass through to Customer the following warranties with regard to the Materials (other than the Production Materials): (i) conformance of the Materials with the vendor’s specifications and/or with the Specifications; (ii) that the Materials will be free from defects in workmanship; (iii) that the Materials will comply with Environmental Regulations; and (iv) that the Materials will not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties.

5. SHIPMENTS, SCHEDULE CHANGE, CANCELLATION, STORAGE

(a) For any accepted purchase order, Customer may (i) increase the quantity of Products or (ii) reschedule the quantity of Products and their shipment date as provided in the flexibility tables attached as Exhibit 5.2(a) (each a “Flexibility Table”).

Any decrease in quantity is considered a cancellation, unless the decreased quantity is rescheduled for delivery at a later date in accordance with the Flexibility Table. Quantity cancellations are governed by the terms of Section 5.3 below. Any purchase order quantities increased or rescheduled pursuant to this Section 5.2 (a) may not be subsequently increased or rescheduled.

(b) All reschedules to push out delivery dates outside of the Flexibility Table require Flextronics’s prior written approval, which, in its sole discretion, may or may not be granted. If Customer does not request prior approval from Flextronics for such reschedules, or if Customer and Flextronics do not agree in writing to specific terms with respect to any approved reschedule, then Customer will pay Flextronics the Monthly Charges for any such reschedule, calculated as of the first day in excess of the Flexibility Table for such reschedule for any Inventory and/or Special Inventory (whether in raw form or work in process) that was procured by Flextronics to support the original delivery schedule that is not used to manufacture Product pursuant to an accepted purchase order within thirty (30) days of the first day in excess of the Flexibility Table for such reschedule. In addition, if Flextronics notifies Customer that such Inventory and/or Special Inventory has remained in Flextronics’s possession for more than ninety (90) days since the first day in excess of the Flexibility Table for such reschedule, then Customer agrees to immediately purchase any affected Inventory and/or Special Inventory upon receipt of the notice by paying the Affected Inventory Costs. In addition, any fully configured and tested Products that have already been manufactured to support the original delivery schedule will be treated as cancelled as provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 below.

(c) Flextronics will use reasonable commercial efforts to meet any quantity increases, which are subject to Materials and capacity availability. All reschedules or quantity increases outside of the Flexibility Table require Flextronics’s approval, which, in its sole discretion, may or may not be granted. If Flextronics agrees to accept a reschedule to pull in a delivery date or an increase in quantities in excess of the Flexibility Table and if there are extra costs to meet such reschedule or increase, Flextronics will inform Customer for its acceptance and approval in advance.

(d) Any delays in the normal production or interruption in the workflow process caused by Customer's changes to the Specifications as mutually agreed upon in accordance with Section 2.2 or failure of Customer or its subcontractor after written notice specifying such failure to provide sufficient quantities or a reasonable quality level of Customer Controlled Materials where applicable to sustain the production schedule, will be considered a reschedule of any affected purchase orders for

(e) purposes of this Section 5.2 for the period of such delay. In addition, Customer shall be responsible for costs related to adjusting foreign currency hedging contracts due to changes in cash flows resulting from such delays

(f) For purposes of calculating the amount of Inventory and Special Inventory subject to subsection (b), the “Lead Time” shall be calculated as the Lead Time at the time of procurement of the Inventory and Special Inventory.

5.3. Cancellation of Orders and Customer Responsibility for Inventory.

(a) Customer may not cancel all or any portion of Product quantity of an accepted purchase order without Flextronics’s prior written approval, which, in its sole discretion, may or may not be granted. If Customer does not request prior approval for cancellation, or if Customer and Flextronics do not agree in writing to specific terms with respect to any approved cancellation, then Customer will pay Flextronics Monthly Charges for any such cancellation, calculated as of the first day after such cancellation for any Inventory or Special Inventory (whether in raw form or work in process) procured by Flextronics to support the original delivery schedule. In addition, if Flextronics notifies Customer that such Inventory and/or Special Inventory has remained in Flextronics’s possession for more than thirty (30) days since such cancellation, then Customer agrees to immediately purchase from Flextronics such Inventory and/or Special Inventory by paying the Affected Inventory Costs. If any fully configured and tested Products have already been manufactured to support the original delivery schedule, then Customer agrees to immediately purchase from Flextronics such Products by paying the Affected Inventory Costs. In addition, Flextronics shall calculate the cost or gain of unwinding any currency hedging contracts entered into by Flextronics to support the cancelled purchase order(s). Should the unwinding result in a loss to Flextronics, Customer agrees to cover such loss amount for Flextronics immediately upon receipt of an invoice for such amount. Should the unwinding result in a gain to Flextronics, a credit note will be immediately issued to Customer.

(b) If the forecast for any period is less than the previous forecast supplied over the same period, that amount will be considered canceled and Customer will be responsible for any Special Inventory purchased or ordered by Flextronics in accordance with Section 4.1 to support such amount.

(c) Products that have been ordered by Customer and that have not been picked up in accordance with the agreed upon shipment dates shall be considered cancelled and Customer will be responsible for such Products in the same manner as set forth above in Section 5.3(a).

(d) For purposes of calculating the amount of Inventory and Special Inventory subject to subsection (a), the “Lead Time” shall be calculated as the Lead Time at the time of (i) procurement of the Inventory and Special Inventory; (ii) cancellation of the purchase order or (iii) termination of this Agreement, whichever is longer.

5.4. Mitigation of Inventory and Special Inventory. Prior to invoicing Customer for the amounts due pursuant to Sections 5.2 or 5.3, Flextronics will use reasonable commercial efforts for a period of thirty (30) days, to return unused Inventory and Special Inventory and to cancel pending orders for such inventory, and to otherwise mitigate the amounts payable by Customer. Customer shall pay amounts due under this Section 5 within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice. Flextronics will ship the Inventory and Special Inventory paid for by Customer under this Section 5.4 to a location designated by Customer (subject to export or other government restrictions) promptly upon said payment by Customer. Customer agrees to pay all reasonable freight, insurance, other shipping expenses (including without limitation any special packing expenses), taxes and duties in connection with such shipment. In the event Customer does not pay within thirty (30) days, Flextronics will be entitled, subject to Customer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to dispose of such Inventory and Special Inventory in a commercially reasonable manner and credit to Customer any monies received from third parties. Flextronics shall then submit an invoice for the balance amount due and Customer agrees to pay said amount within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the invoice.

(a) any actual or threatened injury or damage to any person or property caused, or alleged to be caused, by a Product sold by Flextronics to Customer hereunder, but solely to the extent such injury or damage has been caused by the breach by Flextronics of its express limited warranties related to Flextronics’s workmanship and manufacture in accordance with the Specifications only as further set forth in Section 6.2;

(b) any infringement of the intellectual property rights of any third party but solely to the extent that such infringement is caused by a process that Flextronics uses to manufacture, assemble and/or test the Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Flextronics shall not have any obligation to indemnify Customer to the extent such infringement arises from Flextronics’s compliance with the Specifications or specific Customer instructions for the manufacture, assembly or test of the Product, provided that such claim would not have arisen but for such compliance.

(c) noncompliance with any Environmental Regulations but solely to the extent that such non-compliance is caused by a process or Production Materials that Flextronics uses to manufacture, assemble and/or test the Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Flextronics shall not have any obligation to indemnify Customer to the extent such noncompliance arises from Flextronics’s compliance with the Specifications or specific Customer instructions for the manufacture, assembly or test of the Product, provided that such claim would not have arisen but for such compliance.

9.2. Indemnification by Customer. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, Flextronics and Flextronics Affiliates, and all directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Flextronics Indemnitee”) from and against

(c) any infringement of the intellectual property rights of any third party by any Product except to the extent such infringement is the responsibility of Flextronics pursuant to Section 9.1(b) above.

9.4. Procedures for Indemnification. With respect to any third-party claims, either party shall give the other party prompt notice of any third-party claim and cooperate with the indemnifying party at its expense. The indemnifying party shall have the right to assume the defense (at its own expense) of any such claim through counsel of its own choosing by so notifying the party seeking indemnification within thirty (30) calendar days of the first receipt of such notice. The party seeking indemnification shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party.

In the event that the use of any Products be enjoined for a cause stated in Section 9.1(b) or 9.2(c) above and any of the foregoing remedies cannot be effected on commercially reasonable terms, then, all accepted purchase orders and the current forecast for such Products will be considered cancelled and Customer shall purchase all Products, Inventory and Special Inventory as provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 hereof. Any changes to any Products or process must be made in accordance with Section 2.2 above; provided that any changes due to a cause stated in Section 9.1(b) shall be at Flextronics’ expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a third party makes an infringement claim, but does not obtain an injunction, the indemnifying party shall not be required to substitute a fully equivalent Product or process (as applicable) or modify the Product or process (as applicable) if the indemnifying party obtains an opinion from competent patent counsel reasonably acceptable to the other party that such Product or process is not infringing or that the patents alleged to have been infringed are invalid. This Section 9.4 shall not be construed to limit either party’s obligations pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2.

9.6. No Other Liability. EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO A BREACH OF SECTIONS 9.1 AND 9.2 ABOVE OR A BREACH OF SECTION 10.1 BELOW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY “COVER” DAMAGES (INCLUDING INTERNAL COVER DAMAGES WHICH THE PARTIES AGREE MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED “DIRECT” DAMAGES), OR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SALE OF PRODUCTS, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF ANY OF THE LIMITED REMEDIES IN THIS AGREEMENT FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party may disclose

10.2. Confidential Information of the disclosing party pursuant to a subpoena or other court process only (i) after having given the disclosing party prompt notice of the receiving party’s receipt of such subpoena or other process and (ii) after the receiving party has given the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to oppose such subpoena or other process or to obtain a protective order. Confidential Information of the disclosing party in the custody or control of the receiving party shall be promptly returned or destroyed, at the disclosing party’s option, upon the earlier of (i) the disclosing party's written request or (ii) termination of this Agreement. The Specifications and any other information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process, that derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use that is disclosed by Customer pursuant to this Agreement shall be maintained confidential for the term of this Agreement and thereafter in perpetuity. All other Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to this Agreement shall be maintained confidential for the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after its expiration or termination. The terms of this Agreement shall be confidential in perpetuity, provided that either party may disclose the terms of this Agreement (A) as required by applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, requirements to file a copy of this Agreement (redacted to the extent reasonably permitted by applicable law) or to disclose information regarding the provisions hereof or performance hereunder to applicable regulatory authorities; (B) in confidence, to legal counsel; (C) in confidence, to accountants, banks, and financing sources and their advisors; (D) in confidence, to a potential acquirer; and (E) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any rights hereunder.

10.4. Specifications Safeguards. Flextronics acknowledges and agrees that the Specifications are not publicly available and are of significant value to Customer as trade secrets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and in addition to the obligations set forth in Section 10.1, Flextronics shall comply with the following restrictions and obligations with regard to the access, use and security of the Specifications:

(a) Flextronics shall designate a management-level Flextronics employee (the “Responsible Manager”) who shall have responsibility for preserving the security of the Specifications at all times.

(b) The Responsible Manager shall authorize Flextronics employees to access the Specifications (whether physically or through computer system access) solely on a “need to know” basis (referred to herein collectively, including the Responsible Manager, as “Authorized Personnel”). Flextronics shall not allow anyone other than Authorized Personnel to have access to the Specifications at any time. No Authorized Personnel shall have access to the Specifications unless and until he or she has been apprised of and acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Specifications and has been trained with respect to the procedures designed to preserve its confidentiality, and is subject to a binding and enforceable obligation neither to use the Specifications (other than for purposes expressly permitted by this Agreement) nor to disclose the Specifications to any person other than a person similarly authorized to access such materials.

(c) To the extent the Specifications are stored electronically in an information processing system, such system shall meet the following requirements: (i) such system will have password-controlled access; (ii) each user will have a unique user id and associated password; (iii) only Authorized Personnel shall be issued password access; (iv) each such password will be randomly selected and nonobvious; and (v) displaying and printing of passwords will be either inhibited or masked.

(d) The Responsible Manager shall maintain a record of all persons who have access to the Specifications and the computer system shall maintain a record of each time a user accessed the Specifications and the id of such user. Flextronics shall record and investigate all unauthorized attempts to gain access to the Specifications and shall promptly notify Customer of any loss, theft, or unauthorized use or disclosure of the Specifications. Flextronics shall make such records available to Customer at Customer’s request.

(e) Flextronics shall conduct periodic reviews to ensure compliance with the foregoing security requirements. Customer shall have the right to conduct a review to ensure compliance with the foregoing security restrictions, including an interview of the Responsible Manager and inspection of the records maintained by Flextronics pursuant to subsection (d) above, on three (3) business days’ written notice.

10.5. (**).

10.6. Injunctive Relief. Flextronics agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Customer’s Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of such Confidential Information of Discloser will cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Customer, the extent of which is difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Flextronics agrees that Customer, in addition to any other available remedies, shall have the right to seek an

10.7. immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of Sections 10.1, 10.3 or 10.4 of this Agreement. Flextronics shall notify Customer in writing immediately upon becoming aware of any such breach or threatened breach.

10.8. Compliance with Laws. Each party shall comply with all federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations applicable to such party’s performance under this Agreement.

10.9. Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties relating to such transactions. If the scope of any of the provisions of this Agreement is too broad in any respect whatsoever to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such provisions shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the parties hereto consent and agree that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly and that the whole of such provisions of this Agreement shall not thereby fail, but that the scope of such provisions shall be curtailed only to the extent necessary to conform to law.

10.10. Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by written consent of both parties. The failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the party against which such waiver is asserted.

10.11. Independent Contractor. Neither party shall, for any purpose, be deemed to be an agent of the other party and the relationship between the parties shall only be that of independent contractors. Neither party shall have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

10.12. Expenses. Each party shall pay their own expenses in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of Disputes shall be allocated as further provided in Section 10.15 below.

10.14. Force Majeure.

Regardless of the excuse of Force Majeure, if such party is not able to perform within ninety (90) days after such event, the other party may terminate the Agreement.

10.15. Successors, Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. Neither party shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, either party may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party solely in connection with a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of such party’s assets of the business to which this Agreement relates, sale of all or substantially all of such party’s stock, or similar event.

(d) Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, the place of arbitration shall be San Jose, California.

(e) The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitrability of all Disputes. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence (the “Federal Rules”), to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, govern the conduct of the arbitration.

Disputes between the parties shall be subject to arbitration notwithstanding that a party to this Agreement is also a party to a pending court action or special proceeding with a third party, arising out of the same transaction or series of related transactions and there is a possibility of conflicting rulings on a common issue of law or fact.

(f) Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, each party shall allow and participate in discovery as follows:

(iii) Additional Discovery. The Arbitrator may, on application by either party, authorize additional discovery only if deemed essential to avoid injustice. In the event that remote witnesses might otherwise be unable to attend the arbitration, arrangements shall be made to allow their live testimony by video conference during the arbitration hearing.

(g) The Arbitrator shall render an award within six (6) months after the date of appointment, unless the parties agree to extend such time. The award shall be accompanied by a written opinion setting forth the findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Arbitrator shall have authority to award compensatory damages only, and shall not award any punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages. The award (subject to clarification or correction by the arbitrator as allowed by statute and/or the Federal Rules and/or the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS) shall be final and binding upon the parties, subject solely to the review procedures provided in this Section.

(h) Either party may seek arbitral review of the award pursuant to the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure. Arbitral review may be had as to any element of the award as allowed by the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure.

(i) This Agreement’s arbitration provisions are to be performed in San Jose, California. Except for actions for injunctive or other equitable relief (which may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction), any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the relationship of the parties, including without limitation any proceeding to enforce this Section or to review or confirm the award in arbitration, shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in the county of Santa Clara, California (the “Enforcing Court”). Any judgment of the Enforcing Court may be enforced any court of competent jurisdiction. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party accepts the jurisdiction of the Enforcing Court.

(j) Each party shall pay their own expenses in connection with the resolution of Disputes pursuant to this Section, including attorneys’ fees.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, in the event of any Dispute, prior to referring such Dispute to arbitration pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section, Customer and Flextronics shall attempt in good faith to resolve any and all controversies or claims relating to such Disputes promptly by negotiation commencing within ten (10) calendar days of the written notice of such Disputes by either party, including referring such matter to Customer’s then-current President and Flextronics’s then current executive in charge of manufacturing operations in the region in which the primary activities of this Agreement are performed by Flextronics. The representatives of the parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute for a period of four (4) weeks. In the event that the parties are unable to resolve such Dispute pursuant to this Subsection (k), the provisions of Subsections (a) through (j) of this Section, inclusive, as well as Subsections (l), (m) and (n) of this Section shall apply.

(l) The parties agree that the existence, conduct and content of any arbitration pursuant to this Section shall be kept confidential and no party shall disclose to any person any information about such arbitration, except (i) as may be required by law or by any governmental authority or for financial reporting purposes in each party’s financial statements, or (ii) solely with respect to the existence of the arbitration, to Flextronics’s suppliers or Customer’s suppliers who need to know such information for carrying out the activities related to this Agreement, or to Customer’s customers who need to know such information because the orders such customers have placed with Customer are directly affected by such arbitration.

(m) 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.

(n) In the event of any lawsuit between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement, the parties agree to prepare and to timely file in the applicable court a mutual consent to waive any statutory or other requirements for a trial by jury.

10.19. Even-Handed Construction. The terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement have been arrived at after mutual negotiation, and it is the intention of the parties that its terms and conditions not be construed against any party merely because it was prepared by one of the parties.

10.20. Controlling Language. This Agreement is in English only, which language shall be controlling in all respects. All documents exchanged under this Agreement shall be in English.

10.21. Controlling Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in all respects in accordance with the domestic laws and regulations of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions; except to the extent there may be any conflict between the law of the State of California and the Incoterms of the International Chamber of Commerce, 2000 edition, in which case the Incoterms shall be controlling. The parties specifically agree that the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, as may be amended from time to time, shall not apply to this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge and confirm that the selection of the governing law is a material term of this Agreement.

10.22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.
