EXHIBIT 10.8
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
STANDARD MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
(SOLECTRON DE MEXICO)
This Standard Manufacturing Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into this 11th
day of June 2002 by and between Handspring, Inc. having its place of business
000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 XXX ("Handspring"), and
Solectron, a Delaware Corporation, and its subsidiaries and affiliates,
including but not limited to Solectron Technology Singapore Ltd., Solectron
Technology Sdn Bhd, Solectron Netherlands BV and any other Offshore Business
Headquarters ("OBHQs"), hereafter "Solectron".
Handspring has created a market for Handspring handheld computer and wireless
communicator products (hereinafter "Products") and is solely responsible for the
sales and marketing of the Products. Solectron has developed processes and
practices for manufacturing products for many different electronic applications
and at Handspring's request desires to manufacture Handspring's Products in
accordance with Handspring's specifications. Handspring acknowledges that
Solectron's expertise is manufacturing and that Solectron's responsibility
related to the Handspring's Products is limited to this extent. The parties
agree as follows:
1.0 WORK, LICENSE
Solectron agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to perform the Work (as
defined below) pursuant to purchase orders or changes thereto issued by or for
Handspring. "Work" shall mean to (1) procure components, materials, equipment
and other supplies, and (2) to manufacture, assemble, test and deliver Products
pursuant to detailed Specifications (as defined below), workmanship standards
and quality requirements (as set forth in Addendum C attached hereto) which are
provided by Handspring. For each Product or revision thereof, written
specifications shall include, but are not limited to, bills of materials,
schematics, assembly drawings, process documentation, test specifications,
current revision number, and approved vendor list (hereinafter, collectively
referred to as the "Specifications") as attached hereto.
Solectron is granted by Handspring a non-exclusive license during the term of
this Agreement to use all of Handspring's patents, trade secrets and other
intellectual property in the Products, solely in connection with and to the
extent required to perform Solectron's obligations under this Agreement.
2.0 FORECASTS, ORDERS, MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
2.1 FORECAST. Handspring shall use its diligent efforts to provide Solectron, on
a monthly basis, with a rolling twelve (12) month Product order forecast
(hereinafter "MPS"). The MPS shall be non-binding with respect to purchase of
product but shall be binding with respect to Handspring's liability for
materials pursuant to sections 3.2 and 3.3.
2.2 PURCHASE ORDERS. Handspring will issue, or have a designated 3rd party
distribution partner issue, written purchase orders that specify all Work to be
completed. Handspring's designated 3rd party distribution partners must meet
Solectron credit worthiness guidelines, or Handspring will guarantee purchase
orders according to the terms of this Agreement. Handspring will ensure purchase
orders cover a minimum one (1) month rolling time period. Purchase orders shall
be in accordance with the MPS and shall be deemed accepted by Solectron,
provided however that Solectron may reject any order that does not conform to
the lead-time, flexibility or cancellation terms of this Agreement. Solectron
shall notify Handspring of rejection of any purchase order within five (5)
working days of receipt of such order.
Handspring, or its designated 3rd party distribution partners, shall use its
standard purchase order form to release items, quantities, prices, schedules,
change notices, specifications, or other notice provided for hereunder. The
parties agree that the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall
prevail over any terms and conditions of any purchase order, acknowledgment form
or other instrument.
2.3 MATERIAL PROCUREMENT. MPS updates issued by Handspring will constitute
authorization for Solectron to procure, using standard purchasing practices, the
components, subassemblies, materials and supplies necessary for the manufacture
of Products ("Inventory") with published lead times less than 90 days.
2.4 LONG LEAD TIME COMPONENTS. As Handspring's strategic materials management
partner, Solectron may be required to purchase Long Lead Time Components in
order to achieve the schedule flexibility requirements identified in Section
3.2. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Long Lead Time Components" shall mean
components, subassemblies, materials and supplies with lead times greater than
ninety (90) days at the time an order is placed. During the term of this
Agreement, if any lead times for components, subassemblies, materials or
supplies exceed ninety (90) days due to changes in market conditions, Solectron
may, upon written approval directly from Handspring, reasonably purchase minimum
lot sizes from suppliers ("Minimum Order Inventory"), even if greater than the
amount necessary to meet the MPS, in order to ensure the schedule flexibility
requirements identified in Section 3.2 are achieved. Solectron will notify
Handspring in writing if lead times for any components, subassemblies, materials
or supplies exceed ninety (90) days and will quantify how much additional
cancellation liability Handspring will incur above and beyond the cancellation
liability terms defined in Section 3.3. If lead times for components,
subassemblies, materials or supplies do not exceed ninety (90) days during term
of this Agreement, or any extensions thereof, Solectron and Handspring agree to
abide by the reschedule flexibility and cancellation liability terms defined in
Sections 3.2 and 3.3.
3.0 SHIPMENTS, RESCHEDULE FLEXIBILITY, CANCELLATION
3.1 SHIPMENTS. All Products delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
shall be suitably packed for shipment in accordance with Handspring's
Specifications, marked for shipment to Handspring's destination specified in the
applicable purchase order and delivered to a carrier or forwarding agent.
Shipment will be Exworks (Incoterms 2000) Solectron's Guadalajara, Mexico
facility per the delivery date defined on the purchase order, at which time risk
of loss and title will pass to Handspring or Handspring's designated 3rd party
distribution partners. All freight, insurance and other shipping expenses from
the Exworks point, will be paid by Handspring or its 3rd party distribution
partners.
Solectron is expected to achieve 100% on-time delivery performance to the
designated Exworks point. "On-time" delivery is defined as within 2 days early
and 0 days late of scheduled delivery date defined on MPS releases issued by
Handspring. If delivery of Product is early, Handspring or its designated 3rd
party distribution partners, may return said Product to Solectron for
re-delivery on the scheduled delivery date with Solectron bearing all cost of
Product return and re-delivery. If Product delivery is late due to the fault of
Solectron, Handspring may require Solectron to ship an emergency as needed
quantity of Products via premium air transportation to locations specified by
Handspring or its designated 3rd party distribution partners and Handspring's
sole liability to Solectron shall be limited to payment for the Products
received at the prices specified herein and standard surface freight charges.
Handspring will not unreasonably require Solectron to air ship product unless
Handspring needs Product to meet customer commitments. Solectron's on-time
delivery measurement will not be affected by late shipments that result from
delays by either Handspring or its 3rd party distribution partners in scheduled
pick up of finished goods.
Handspring's business model strives to minimize finished goods inventory in the
supply chain. Handspring will work with our 3rd party distribution partners and
Solectron to maintain an optimized logistics model for transportation in the
North American region.
3.2 QUANTITY INCREASES AND SHIPMENT SCHEDULE CHANGES. For any purchase order
issued in accordance to this Agreement, Handspring may (i) increase the quantity
of Products or (ii) reschedule the quantity of Products and their shipment date
as provided in the table below:
Maximum Allowable Variance From Purchase Order Quantities/Shipment Dates
# of days before Allowable Maximum Maximum
Shipment Date Quantity Reschedule Reschedule
on Purchase Order Increases Quantity Period
----------------- --------- ---------- ----------
0-30 [*] [*] [*]
31-60 [*] [*] [*]
61-90 [*] [*] [*]
91 + [*] [*] [*]
Any purchase order quantities increased or rescheduled pursuant to this Section
may not be subsequently increased or rescheduled without the prior written
approval of Solectron. All other changes in quantity or shipment date require
Solectron's prior written consent. Solectron will use reasonable commercial
efforts to meet quantity increases. If there are extra costs to meet a schedule
increase in excess of the above limits, Solectron will inform Handspring for its
written approval in advance.
Handspring will be liable for on-hand Tier 1 material carrying costs in excess
of [*] demand created by a Handspring initiated change in the MPS (assuming Tier
1 materials have been purchased and/or canceled to lead time and MPS
requirements). [*]. Handspring agrees to disposition Tier 1 material in excess
of [*] demand. The methodology will be defined in an addendum to this Agreement
and will cover freight and cost of acquisition. Handspring will be liable for a
one-time carrying cost charge for any Tier 2 material excess of [*] of demand
created by a Handspring initiated change in the MPS (assuming Tier 2 materials
have been purchased and/or canceled to lead time and MPS requirements). [*].
Handspring and Solectron will negotiate a methodology, and attach as an addendum
to this Agreement, to cover inbound freight and cost of acquisition expenses.
3.3 CANCELLATION LIABILITY. In the event Handspring cancels any purchase orders,
or portions thereof, Handspring and Solectron agree to the following
cancellation terms:
# days from the
day of notice Handspring cancellation liability:
--------------- ----------------------------------
0 - 30 days [*]
31 - 60 days [*]
61 - 90 days [*]
91+ [*]
Solectron will be responsible for managing, consuming or disposing of Tier 2
excess inventory at no cost to Handspring. Handspring will not write down any
inventory of industry-standard components. Handspring will be responsible for
negotiating prices and terms and conditions of Tier 1 suppliers. Handspring will
provide Solectron with the results of those negotiated terms.
If an open purchase order is re-scheduled within lead-time, the Handspring
cancellation liability terms apply to the originally scheduled delivery dates.
* Confidential treatment has been requested for certain portions of this
document pursuant to an application for confidential treatment sent to the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such portions are omitted from this filing
and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
4.0 ENGINEERING CHANGES
Handspring may request, in writing, that Solectron incorporate engineering
changes into the Product. Such request will include a description of the
proposed engineering change sufficient to permit Solectron to evaluate its
feasibility and cost. Solectron's evaluation shall be in writing and shall state
the costs and time of implementation and the impact on the delivery schedule and
pricing of the Product. Solectron will not be obligated to proceed with the
engineering change until the parties have agreed in writing upon the changes to
the Product's Specifications, delivery schedule and Product pricing and upon the
implementation costs to be borne by the Handspring including, without
limitation, the cost of Inventory on-hand and on-order that becomes obsolete.
As Handspring's strategic manufacturing engineering partner, Solectron is
expected to make recommendations to Product design that would make Product more
manufacturable, reduce material costs and/or improve quality. Handspring will
evaluate such recommendations and incorporate such recommendations into Product
design as appropriate. Without the prior written authorization from Handspring,
Solectron will not make any changes to Product design. Without the prior written
authorization from Handspring, Solectron also will not make any changes to
manufacturing processes which affect the form, fit, function, performance or
reliability of the Product.
5.0 TOOLING, NON-RECURRING EXPENSES, SOFTWARE LICENSE, PROPERTY
5.1 TOOLING. Solectron shall provide non-Product specific tooling at its
expense. Handspring shall pay for or obtain and consign to Solectron any Product
specific tooling and other reasonably necessary non-recurring expenses, to be
set forth in Solectron's quotation.
5.2 SOFTWARE LICENSE. All software that Handspring provides to Solectron is and
shall remain the property of Handspring. Handspring grants Solectron a license
to copy, modify and use such software solely in connection with and to the
extent required to perform Solectron's obligations under this Agreement. All
software developed by Solectron to support the process tooling or otherwise
shall be and remain the property of Solectron.
5.3 HANDSPRING PROPERTY. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all tooling,
equipment or material of every description furnished to Solectron by Handspring
or specifically paid for by Handspring and held by Solectron, and any
replacements thereof or any materials affixed or attached thereto, shall be and
remain the personal property of Handspring and shall be clearly labeled as
Handspring equipment and safely stored. Solectron shall not use such property
except in filling Handspring's Purchase Orders unless otherwise authorized in
writing by Handspring. Such property while in Solectron's custody or control
shall be held at Solectron's risk, shall be maintained in operable condition,
subject to normal tool life expectancies, kept insured by Solectron at
Solectron's expense in an amount equal to the replacement cost with loss payable
to Handspring and will be subject to removal at Handspring's written request.
6.0 PRODUCT ACCEPTANCE AND WARRANTIES
6.1 PRODUCT ACCEPTANCE. The Product shall be deemed to be successfully completed
only at such time as Handspring has received, inspected and accepted the
Product. Within ten (10) calendar days after Product receipt at Handspring or
one of its 3rd party distribution partners, Handspring or its 3rd party
distribution partner shall either notify Solectron that it has rejected the
Product and request corrections or revisions, or the Product shall be deemed
automatically accepted.
6.2 PRODUCT QUALITY. Solectron is expected to deliver 100% quality Product in
conformance to all Product Specifications, workmanship standards and quality
requirements set forth in Addendum C. As Handspring's strategic quality partner,
Solectron is expected to institute appropriate quality controls at the factory
to stop any defective Product from shipping to Handspring or its designated 3rd
party distribution partners. Handspring's intent is not to inspect each shipment
coming from Solectron, however, Handspring reserves the right to audit
Solectron's facilities, conduct source inspection and/or inspect Product at
designated distribution or field repair centers. Handspring and Solectron will
work together to jointly determine if Product is defective. Handspring, or its
designated 3rd party, may return defective Products, freight collect, after
obtaining a return material authorization number from Solectron to be displayed
on the shipping container and completing a failure report. Solectron will not
unreasonably withhold such return material authorization numbers. Rejected
Products will be promptly repaired or replaced, at Solectron's option, and
returned freight pre-paid.
6.3 EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY. Solectron warrants that the Products will conform
to Handspring's applicable Specifications and will be free from defects in
workmanship for a period of [*] from the date of shipment. Materials are
warranted to the same extent that the original manufacturer warrants the
materials. This express limited warranty does not apply to (a) materials
consigned or supplied by Handspring to Solectron; (b) defects resulting from
Handspring's design of the Products; (c) Product that has been abused, damaged,
altered or misused by any person or entity after title passes to Handspring.
With respect to first articles, prototypes, pre-production units, test units or
other similar Products, Solectron makes no representations or warranties
whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Solectron assumes
no liability for or obligation related to the performance, accuracy,
specifications, failure to meet specifications or defects of or due to tooling,
designs, operating system software, or instructions produced or supplied by
Handspring and Handspring shall be liable for costs or expenses incurred by
Solectron related thereto. Upon any failure of a Product to comply with the
above warranty, Solectron's sole obligation, and Handspring's sole remedy, is
for Solectron, at Solectron's option, to promptly repair or replace such unit
and return it to Handspring freight prepaid. Solectron will bear all costs of
repairing defective Product within warranty. Handspring shall return Products
covered by the warranty freight collect after completing a failure report and
obtaining a return material authorization number from Solectron to be displayed
on the shipping container.
6.4 EPIDEMIC CONDITION. An Epidemic Condition exists when failure reports or
statistical samplings show that five percent (5%) or more of the same Product
installed or shipped during any one month contain an identical, repetitive
defect in Solectron supplied material and/or workmanship. If during that
warranty period of [*], the same Product shows evidence of an Epidemic
Condition, Handspring shall have the right, pending correction of the Epidemic
Condition, to postpone further shipments of such Product by giving written
notice of such postponement to Solectron. Such postponement shall temporarily
relieve Solectron of its shipment liability and Handspring of any shipment
liability for such postponed shipments. Both parties shall work together to
prepare and propose a corrective action plan addressing implementation and
procedure milestones for remedying such Epidemic Condition(s). Both parties
shall use diligent efforts to implement the remedy in accordance with the agreed
upon schedule.
In the event of Epidemic Failure Solectron will:
a. Incorporate the remedy in the affected Product in accordance with
Handspring engineering change order procedures;
b. Ship all subsequent Products incorporating the required remedy; and
c. Shall pay the direct costs of implementing the remedy on Products
evidencing the Epidemic Condition within the warranty period if caused
by Solectron, provided that said costs shall not exceed the total price
paid by Handspring for the affected Products less Solectron's actual
cost for the components incorporated into the affected Products.
SOLECTRON MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ON THE PRODUCTS, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR COMMUNICATION
WITH HANDSPRING, AND SOLECTRON SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

A. PRICING
1. VALUE-ADD: Solectron's price to Handspring will be based upon the
following model and rates. On a quarterly basis, unit pricing will be
calculated for each product with three cost components. Material markup
and freight costs will be calculated by multiplying Tier 1 and Tier 2
components cost, as mutually agreed to by both parties, by Tier 1
Markup, Tier 2 Markup and Inbound Freight rates for the applicable
Monthly Dollar Spend. PCB assembly cost will be calculated by
multiplying total component count by PCBA Placement Cost for the given
Average Monthly Placements. Final Assembly and Test Cost will be
calculated by multiplying Final Assembly and Test Shop Rates by the
Final Assembly and Test Labor Standards, as mutually agreed to by both
parties, for the applicable Average Monthly Volume. In the event that
the average monthly dollar spend, placements, or volume are higher or
lower than the values set in the forward quarterly pricing, a
corresponding variance to align pricing with the correct level will be
paid by Handspring or Solectron to the other party at the end of the
affected quarter.

3 PPVS will be submitted monthly, and all supporting documents will be
available for review upon Handspring's request.
4. QUOTES: During development and before Production, Handspring will request
frequent Costed BOM and Transformation quotes, following design changes.
Handspring expects quotes within 5 business days of the request.
5. QUOTE CONFIRMATION: Full (Material + Transformation) quotes will be
confirmed formally (for ex. by e-mail) by an authorized representative from
the CM.
6. PROTOTYPE BUILDS AND NRE: Solectron's price to Handspring will be based
upon the following model and rates. For each prototype build, Handspring
will specify the number of units that will be built. Breaking down the build
into specific unit quantities (including an initial First Article Inspection
build) will allow the Handspring and Solectron teams to properly evaluate
designs and processes and to make necessary improvements prior to the start
of the next build. It is assumed that a prototype build will span 5 days as
described in the pricing model below. It is assumed that DFx input will be
provided at no cost to Handspring as part of Solectron's standard NPI
service. Tooling, fixtures and testers will be quoted by Solectron on a
case-by-case basis. Handspring will pay Solectron a one-time setup fee for
each prototype (DVT/PVT) build. Handspring will pay Solectron a material
markup to cover cost of acquisition and inbound freight. Value add pricing
will be determined by the quantity of units in the prototype build.
