In consideration for such Co-Marketing Funds, Customer agrees to Order, pay for and accept Products with a minimum cumulative Net Price of i) * of the Volume Commitment during the calendar years 2004 and 2005, and ii) * during the calendar year 2006 less the amount in excess of * attributable to Customer’s Order, payment and acceptance of Products cumulatively in calendar years 2004 and 2005 (collectively, “Co-Marketing Purchase Commitments”).

b) In the event Customer does not fulfill either or both of its Co-Marketing Purchase Commitments, Nortel Networks will determine the amount of the unearned Co-Marketing Funds relative to the percentage of the commitment not met and invoice Customer for the amount of the unearned Co-Marketing Funds accordingly. Customer agrees to pay such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt. In such event, Nortel Networks may suspend any further Co-Marketing Fund Payments.

		equal to twenty-five percent of the Co-Marketing funds provided during the calendar year 2006 or *.
		By way of final example only, if Customer purchases Products with a cumulative Net Price of * during the calendar year 2006, and a cumulative Net Price of * during the calendar years 2004 and 2005, then each of the Co-Marketing Purchase Commitments will be deemed to be fulfilled by Customer.
		Nortel Networks and Xxxxxx will meet periodically during each calendar year to review Customer’s progress towards fulfillment of the purchase amounts specified in Section 17a) above and Customer’s cumulative qualifying purchases of Nortel Networks Products in such calendar year. In the event that Customer fails to make purchases at the levels discussed above or Customer is in breach of the Agreement, Nortel Networks shall not be obligated to provide any Co-Marketing Funds. The Co-Marketing Funds provided herein are non-transferable and any attempt to do so is void.”
7.		Section 17f) and all references thereto in the Agreement are deleted in their entirety.

	1)		Customer’s Circle of Excellence Program / Annual Manager’s Conference – *;
