For purposes of this Agreement, “Working Capital” shall mean the current assets of the Business as of the Closing Time as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as applied by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with its current accounting policies, on a basis consistent with past practice and the practices and procedures used in preparing the Carve Out Financial Statements (including Accounts Receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts), Intercompany Receivables solely from ordinary course of business activities by the Business which are comparable to the activities contemplated by the Parties to occur pursuant to Exhibit D, inventory (net of reserve for excess and obsolete inventory), intercompany reimbursements due to the Business Subsidiaries from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for expatriate PRC employee tax liabilities and other current assets, including prepaid rent and investments, but excluding Tax receivables payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇) less the current liabilities of the Business, including the Business Subsidiaries, as of the Closing Time as defined by U.S. GAAP as applied by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with its current accounting policies, on a basis consistent with past practice and the practices and procedures used in preparing the Carve Out Financial Statements (including accounts payable, Intercompany Payables (but only to the extent that such Intercompany Payables do not exceed Intercompany Receivables by more than $4,200,000) solely from ordinary course of business activities by the Business which are comparable to the activities contemplated by the Parties to occur pursuant to Exhibit E, accrued expenses, accrued restructuring charges and intercompany reimbursements due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from the Business Subsidiaries for expatriate U.S. employee tax liabilities, but excluding Tax liabilities payable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇), and shall be calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as applied by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with its current accounting policies, on a basis consistent with past practice and the practices and procedures used in preparing the Carve Out Financial Statements, and after giving effect to Section 9.9. Notwithstanding the above, Working Capital shall not include the Wuxi/HK Cash Balance, the Retained Robots, the Yaskawa Accounts Receivable and the Yaskawa Payables..

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Time, Celestica Oregon, on behalf of the Buyers, shall prepare and deliver to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ a statement (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) calculating the Working Capital (as defined in this Section 1.4(a)) of the Business, including the Business Subsidiaries, as of the Closing Time (the “Closing Working Capital Amount”). The Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the methodologies, practices principles and procedures used to calculate the March 31 Working Capital. The Buyers agree to consult, in good faith, with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the preparation of the Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement.

- 14 -

(iii) If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in good faith disputes the Closing Working Capital Amount as shown on the Closing Working Capital Statement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver to Celestica Oregon, on behalf of the Buyers, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement a statement (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different Closing Working Capital Amount. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such differences regarding the determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount for a period of thirty (30) days after Celestica Oregon’s receipt of the Dispute Notice. If the Parties resolve such differences, the Closing Working Capital Amount they agree to shall be deemed to be the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount” and the Closing Working Capital Statement they agree to shall be deemed to be the “Final Closing Working Capital Statement.”

(iv) If the Parties do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Working Capital Amount within thirty (30) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has given the Dispute Notice, unless the Parties mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Parties will select a nationally recognized independent auditing firm (the “Neutral Accountant”) which shall resolve such differences, pursuant to an engagement agreement executed by the Parties and the Neutral Accountant, in the manner provided below. The Parties shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Buyers and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding their calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount; and the Neutral Accountant shall be required to resolve the differences between the Parties and determine the Closing Working Capital Amount within twenty (20) Business Days thereafter. The Closing Working Capital Amount determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement, as adjusted to reflect such determination, shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Statement. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent gross negligence, fraud or manifest error.

(v) The Neutral Accountant shall not be authorized or permitted to:

(A) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Parties regarding the determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount in accordance with this Section 1.4;

(B) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to the Closing Working Capital Statement that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by the Parties; or

(vi) ▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the one hand, and the Buyers, joint and severally, on the other hand, shall each pay one half of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant;

- 15 -

provided that if the Neutral Accountant determines that either ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Buyers have adopted a position or positions that is or are frivolous or clearly without merit, the Neutral Accountant (i) may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such Party and (ii) shall provide to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers a written explanation of its reasons for making such a determination.

(vii) The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.4 for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Working Capital Amount shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes, provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Neutral Accountant.

(viii) Failure of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to deliver a Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after receiving the Closing Working Capital Statement shall constitute acceptance of the Closing Working Capital Amount set forth on the Closing Working Capital Statement, whereupon such Closing Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Statement. Delivery by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of a Dispute Notice shall constitute final and binding acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of all portions of the Closing Working Capital Statement other than those specifically identified in the Dispute Notice as being subject to a good faith dispute.

(ix) If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the March 31 Working Capital, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay to the Buyers an amount equal to the difference between the March 31 Working Capital and the Final Closing Working Capital Amount (the “Negative Working Capital Adjustment”). If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is more than the March 31 Working Capital, then the Buyers shall pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ an amount equal to the difference between the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and the March 31 Working Capital (the “Positive Working Capital Adjustment”). Any payment required pursuant to this section shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account or accounts designated by the Buyers or ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is determined pursuant to this Section 1.4.

(b) Final Adjusted Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Adjusted Purchase Price” means the Purchase Price plus the amount of the Positive Working Capital Adjustment, if any, plus the amount paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(xii), if any, minus the amount of the Negative Working Capital Adjustment, if any.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, should the Purchase Price be adjusted in accordance with this Section 1.4 in a manner which results in any adjustment to the stamp duty payable in relation to the transfer of Stock, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be liable for ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ portion (50%) of the stamp duty payable to the Stamp Office, Inland Revenue Department, Hong Kong.

1.5 Consents to Assignment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the

- 16 -

consent of a third party thereto or of the issuing or other applicable Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 2.4(b)), as the case may be, would constitute a breach or default thereof, would result in a violation of the rights of any such third party, would be ineffective, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Buyers thereunder. If such consent (each, a “Deferred Consent” and collectively, the “Deferred Consents”) is not obtained prior to the Closing, and the Buyers do not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) for a failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.1(a) then (a) the asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit to which such Deferred Consent relates (each, a “Deferred Item” and, collectively, the “Deferred Items”) shall be withheld from sale pursuant to this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price, (b) from and after the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be required to make any payments or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith, and (c) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by the Buyers under which (i) the Buyers would obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of any third party) the economic claims, rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related Tax costs and any other liabilities or obligations imposed on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Affiliates under the Deferred Item) and (ii) the Buyers would assume any related economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs and any other liabilities or obligations imposed on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of their Affiliates) with respect to the Deferred Item. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to it in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

1.6 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Time, as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Third-Party Claims. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, all claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party (as defined in this Section 6.3(a)) shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A person or entity entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party. Such notification will include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such third-party claim and the amount of Damages claimed. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party may be found to be liable under this Article VI is equal to at least 50% of the ad damnum and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a third-party-claim involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party except to the extent that such equitable relief is a request in a complaint whose primary recourse is for monetary damages and is reasonably expected to have a lesser impact on the Indemnified Party as compared to the amount of monetary damages sought in connection with such Third Party Action. If the Indemnifying Party does not or is not permitted to assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party

- 43 -

have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Procedure for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI which is not subject to Section 6.3(a) or which is subject to Section 6.3(a), but for which the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense, shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (I) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer) and state the reasons for contesting the portion of the Claimed Amount that is not paid, or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount and state the reasons therefor. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.14.

6.4 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers set forth in this Agreement and the certificates delivered at Closing pursuant to Sections 5.1(d) and 5.2(d) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Time, at which time they shall expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ contained in

Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 and of the Buyers contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby without limitation, (ii) the representations and warranties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.17 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until the 60^th day after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the bringing of claims related to the matters covered thereby and (iii) the representations and warranties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ contained in Sections 2.18 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Time.

(c) No Party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof.

(d) Any valid claim that is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim shall survive until such claim is finally resolved and satisfied.

6.5 Limitations.

(a) Subject to Section 10.13 and except with respect to claims made pursuant to Section 6.2(b) or Article VIII, from and after the Closing, absent fraud, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims resulting from any breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.13, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ under Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with respect to the subject matter of Article VIII. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5(a), in no event shall either of the Buyers, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the following six limitations shall apply (except for Sections 6.5(b)(i), 6.5(b)(ii), and 6.5(b)(iii) with respect to claims relating solely to Taxes under Article VIII and Section 9.10):

(i) the aggregate liability of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for all Damages under Section 6.1(a) or for the Buyers under Section 6.2(a) shall not exceed an amount equal to $10,500,000;

(ii) no individual claim or series of related claims for indemnification under Sections 6.1(a)(i) or 6.2(a)(i) shall be valid and assertable unless it is (or they are) for an amount in excess of $25,000;

- 45 -

(iii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be liable for Damages under Section 6.1(a)(i) and Buyers shall not be liable for Damages under Section 6.2(a)(i), unless and until the aggregate amount of such Damages, considered together, exceeds $425,000 at which point such Party shall be liable for all such Damages starting from the first dollar;

(iv) the Buyers shall not be entitled to make any claim for indemnification with respect to any matter to the extent the Purchase Price has been adjusted to reflect such matter pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.4;

(vi) the aggregate liability of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for Damages under Section 6.1(c) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price;

provided, however, that the limitations of Section 6.5(b) shall not apply to any claim described in paragraph (b) of Section 6.1 or paragraphs (b) through (d) of Section 6.2.

(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible and liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article VI that are (i) consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminution in value (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be deemed to refer to a failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to deliver accounts receivable, inventory or other tangible or financial assets in the amounts represented in Article II), special or punitive or otherwise not actual Damages or (ii) contingent, unless and until such Damages are actual and mature. Each Party shall (and the Buyers shall cause the Business to) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Damages for which indemnification is provided to it under Article VI.

(d) The Business Subsidiaries shall not have any right of contribution against the Business with respect to any breach by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, each of the Buyers hereby waives and releases (and shall cause each of the Business Subsidiaries to waive and release), any claim that such Business Subsidiary may have against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its respective Affiliates.

(e) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall not be reduced by any related recoveries to which the Indemnified Party is entitled under insurance policies or other related payments received or receivable from third parties on account of the matter resulting in such Damages or the payment of such Damages.

ARTICLE VIII
TAX MATTERS

8.1 Liability and Indemnification for Taxes.

(a) Without duplication of any other indemnity in this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will indemnify the Buyers and their Affiliates (including, for this purpose, the Business Subsidiaries after the Closing) (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) against all liabilities and losses (i) for Excluded Taxes, (ii) resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.10, or (iii) resulting from any breach of the covenants contained in the last sentence of Section 4.3, this Article VIII or Section 9.10. Any Buyer Indemnified Party seeking indemnity under this Article VIII will comply with the claim procedure set forth in Section 6.3.

(b) The Buyers, joint and severally, will indemnify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Affiliates (excluding for this purposes, the Business Subsidiaries after the Closing, each a “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnified Party”) against (i) all Losses for Taxes imposed against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that are attributable to the Buyers’ conduct of the Business, or ownership of the Acquired Assets, during any Post-Closing Period (ii) all Losses relating to Taxes imposed on or payable by any Business Subsidiary for, or with respect to, any Post-Closing Period, and (iii) all Losses resulting from any breach of the covenants contained in this Article VIII. Any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnified Party seeking indemnity under this Article VIII will comply with the claim procedure set forth in Section 6.3.

(c) With respect to any Straddle Period, any liabilities or losses for Taxes will be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period by closing the books at the Closing Time, except that Tax items of a periodic nature or measured by the level of any item, such as real and personal ad valorem property taxes or depreciation allowances calculated on an annual basis, will be allocated by apportioning a pro-rata portion of such Taxes to each day in the relevant Straddle Period.

(d) Any applicable Transfer Taxes that are, or become due and payable as a result of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, whether such Taxes are imposed by law on the Business Subsidiaries, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Acquired Assets or the Buyers, will be borne equally (50%-50%) by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the one hand, and the Buyers, jointly and severally, on the other hand. The Parties will coordinate on determining which Party will be responsible for the remittance of any Transfer Taxes that are due. In the event that either the Buyers or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is required to pay any Transfer Taxes, the other Party (in the case of Buyers, the other Party will be ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the other Party will be the Buyers) will remit to the paying

- 48 -

Party an amount equal to 50% of the Transfer Taxes that are due and for which it has received reasonably satisfactory documentation from the paying Party no later than five (5) days prior to the date such Transfer Taxes are due. The Parties will cooperate with each other in minimizing the amount of any Transfer Taxes to the extent permitted by applicable law (including the provision of any information or preparation of any documentation that may be necessary or useful for obtaining any available mitigation, reduction or exemption from any such Transfer Taxes). Any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with any Transfer Taxes will be prepared by the Party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Tax Returns pursuant to applicable law under and according to which the respective Tax Returns are due to be filed. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer Taxes” means all sales, use, value added, documentary, stamp, gross receipts, registration, transfer, conveyance, excise, recording, license, stock transfer stamps and other similar Taxes and fees arising out of or in connection with or attributable to the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement but does not include income or capital gains Taxes.

(e) Notwithstanding any provisions in Section 6.3 to the contrary, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to control any Tax Audit, initiate any claim for refund, contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment (“Tax Proceeding”) relating to any and all Taxes of the Business Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending at or before the Closing Time; provided, however, that with respect to any Tax Proceeding which may have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of the Buyers or the Business Subsidiaries or their Affiliates for any Tax period ending after the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it (i) will not initiate any such Tax Proceeding without first obtaining the consent of the Buyers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and which will be deemed to have been given if neither Buyer responds within ten (10) business days), (ii) will consult in good faith with the Buyers during any such Tax Proceeding and (iii) will not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of one of the Buyers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (beyond ten (10) business days). The Buyers shall have the right to control any other Tax Proceeding relating to Taxes of the Business Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Buyers and the Business Subsidiaries agree to consult in good faith with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with respect to the contest (and settlement) of any claim for Taxes for which a Buyer Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement, provided that the failure by the Buyers and the Business Subsidiaries to so consult under this Section 8.1(e) will not adversely affect the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification or reimbursement except to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is actually prejudiced by such failure to consult, and provided further that the Buyers and the Business Subsidiaries will not settle, or agree to any adjustment with respect to, any Tax claim for which a Buyer Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

8.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that relate to the Business and the Business Subsidiaries for all periods (including the consolidated, unitary, and combined Tax Returns for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Business

- 49 -

Subsidiaries which include the operations of the Business for any period ending at or before the Closing Time) that end at or before the Closing Time. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall make or cause to be made all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns. The Buyers shall, joint and severally, promptly reimburse ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the amount of any such Taxes paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the extent such Taxes are attributable (as determined under Section 8.1(c) hereof) to periods following the Closing Time.

(b) The Buyers shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all other Tax Returns for the Business and the Business Subsidiaries. The Buyers shall make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns (subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 8.1 hereof). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly reimburse the Buyers for the amount of any such Taxes paid by the Buyers to the extent such Taxes are attributable (as determined under Section 8.1(c) hereof) to periods prior to the Closing Time.

(c) Any Tax Return of the Business Subsidiaries or with respect to the Acquired Assets to be prepared and filed for taxable periods beginning before the Closing Time and ending after the Closing Time shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous similar Tax Return, and the Buyers shall consult with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concerning each such Tax Return and report all items with respect to the period ending at the Closing Time in accordance with the instructions of ▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that if the Buyers are advised by counsel that the filing of any Tax Return and the reporting on such Tax Return of any item in accordance with the instructions of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is likely to subject the Buyers to any penalties, including, without limitation, penalties relating to transfer price claims, the Buyers may file such Tax Return without regard to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ instructions relating to such item. The Buyers shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with a copy of each proposed Tax Return (and such additional information regarding such Tax Return as may reasonably be requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇) at least twenty (20) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return.

(d) Except to the extent of a Tax resulting from or attributable to a breach of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ covenant in Section 9.10, the Buyers shall be responsible, joint and severally, for the payment of any and all Taxes not incurred in the ordinary course of business attributable to the acts or omissions of the Buyers or the Buyers’ Affiliates occurring after the Closing at the Closing Time.

8.3 Allocation of Certain Taxes.

(a) The Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree that if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any Business Subsidiary is permitted but not required under applicable foreign, state or local Tax laws to treat the date on which the Closing Time occurs as the last day of a taxable period, the Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall treat such day as the last day of a taxable period.

(b) Any Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned as provided in Section 8.1(c) between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers, joint and severally, and for purposes of this Agreement, each portion of such period shall be deemed to be a taxable period (whether or not it is in fact a taxable period).

- 50 -

8.4 Refunds and Carrybacks.

(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits of Taxes of the Business Subsidiaries attributable to taxable periods ending (or deemed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) to end) at or before the Closing Time, net of any Tax liability imposed on any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt of such refund or credit.

(b) The Buyers and/or the Buyers’ Affiliates, as the case may be, shall be entitled to any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits of Taxes of the Business Subsidiaries attributable to taxable periods beginning (or deemed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) to begin) after the Closing Time, net of any Tax liability imposed on any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt of such refund or credit.

(c) The Buyers shall forward to or reimburse ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits due ▇▇▇▇▇▇ after receipt thereof, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly forward to the Buyers or reimburse the Buyers for any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits due the Buyers after receipt thereof, in each case as adjusted pursuant to Sections 8.4(a) and (b) hereof.

(d) The Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree that, with respect to any Tax, none of the Business Subsidiaries shall carry back any item of loss, deduction or credit which arises in any taxable period ending after the Closing Time to any taxable period ending at or before the Closing Time.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither ▇▇▇▇▇▇ nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties if any Tax attributes of the Business Subsidiaries (including net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, adjusted basis or credits) are not available to the Business Subsidiaries, the Buyers, or the Buyers’ Affiliates for any taxable period or portion thereof ending after the Closing Time.

8.5 Cooperation on Tax Matters; Tax Audits. The Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate with each other in preparing all Tax Returns, prosecuting any claims for Tax refunds or petitions for relief, defending or contesting any Tax claims or assessments for any Tax periods or otherwise communicating or interacting with any applicable Governmental Entity responsible for, or acting with respect to, the imposition of Taxes (the “Taxing Authority”) for which any such party could, for any reason, require the assistance of another such party (each a “Tax Assistance Matter”). Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing and making available for duplication, prior years’ Tax Returns or return preparation packages, to the extent related to the Business illustrating previous reporting practices or containing historical information relevant to the preparation of such Tax Returns, and such other information within such party’s possession requested by the other party as is relevant to the Tax Assistance Matter. Such cooperation and information also shall include provision of powers of attorney to allow the other party to act with respect to the Tax Assistance Matter, promptly forwarding copies of applicable notices and forms or other communications received from or sent to any Taxing Authority which relate to the Business, and providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns to the extent related to the Business, together with accompanying

- 51 -

schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by any Taxing Authority and records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which the requested party may possess. The Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective Affiliates shall make their respective employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to explain any documents or information provided hereunder. To the extent necessary in connection with any such Tax Assistance Matter, each Party shall provide to the other Party and such other Party’s Affiliates, authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives access (including using commercially reasonable efforts to give access to third parties possessing information and providing reasonable access to its own employees who are in possession of relevant information) and duplicating rights during normal business hours to all non-privileged records, books, contracts, instruments, documents, correspondence, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) within the possession or control of such Party or its Affiliates, relating to the particular Tax Assistance Matter prior to the Closing, insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party for purposes of addressing such Tax Assistance Matter.

8.6 Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving the Business shall be terminated at or prior to the Closing Time and, after the Closing Time, neither of the Buyers or their Affiliates shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods ending at or before the Closing Time.

8.7 Elections Pursuant to Section 338 of the Code. Celestica Ontario shall not elect, pursuant to Section 338 of Code, for the sale of the Stock to be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a sale by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of its assets.

(a) Access to Information. Subject to compliance with contractual obligations, applicable laws and regulations and Section 8.4(a), following the Closing, each Party shall afford to the other Party and to the other Party’s Affiliates, authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access (including using commercially reasonable efforts to give access to third parties possessing information, excluding third party accountant’s work papers, and providing reasonable access to its own employees who are in possession of relevant information) and duplicating rights during normal business hours in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business to all Information within the possession or control of such Party or its Affiliates, relating to the Business prior to the Closing, insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party. Information may be requested under this Section 9.1(a) for, without limitation, financial reporting and accounting matters, preparing financial statements, preparing, reviewing and analyzing the Closing Working Capital Statement, resolving any differences between the Parties with respect to the Closing Working Capital Statement, preparing and filing of any Tax Returns, prosecuting any claims for refund, defending any Tax claims or assessment, preparing securities law or exchange filings, prosecuting,

- 52 -

defending or settling any litigation, Environmental Matter or insurance claim, performing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all other proper business purposes.

(b) Access to Personnel. Following the Closing, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, such Party’s and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents to the extent that such persons may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved relating to the Business prior to the Closing or for any other matter referred to in Section 9.1(a).

(c) Reimbursement. A Party providing Information or personnel to another Party under Section 9.1(a) or (b) shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses, as may reasonably be incurred in providing such Information or personnel; provided, however, that no such reimbursements shall be required for the salary, health and welfare benefits or the cost of fringe benefits or similar expenses pertaining to employees or directors of the providing Party or its Affiliates.

(d) Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required by law or agreed to in writing by the Parties, each of the Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve all Information in its possession pertaining to the Business prior to the Closing until six (6) years after the Closing Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of retaining any specific Information, any Party may offer in writing to the other Party to deliver such Information to the other Party and, if such offer is not accepted within ninety (90) days, the offered Information may be disposed of at any time.

(e) Preparation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Statements. Following the Closing, the Buyers shall cause the Business to prepare and provide to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its subsidiaries all information relating to the Business reasonably required for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its subsidiaries (i) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement and (ii) to prepare all applicable financial statements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its subsidiaries for all fiscal periods that precede or include the Closing Time, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the provision of initial financial results for the Business with respect to the monthly period or partial monthly period completed immediately prior to the Closing Time within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Time. During the period of (i) review of the Closing Working Capital Statement and (ii) preparation of such financial statements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its subsidiaries, each of the Buyers shall use its best efforts to ensure that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its subsidiaries (and their auditors) will be provided with reasonable access to the Business, its financial management, including the financial directors of each Business (but not any accountant’s work papers), and their books, accounts and records and will be able to review the work being carried out in accordance with this Section 9.1(e).

(f) Confidentiality.

(i) Business Confidential Information. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence all Business Confidential Information. “Business Confidential Information” means all information of a confidential or proprietary nature (whether or not specifically labeled

- 53 -

or identified as “confidential”), in any form or medium, that relates primarily to the Business or primarily to its suppliers, distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relations in their respective capacities as such (but not in any other capacities, such as a customer primarily of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ but not of the Business) and includes, in each case, to the extent the Business obtains a material commercial benefit from the secret nature of such information: (i) internal business information (including information relating to strategic and staffing plans and practices, business, training, marketing, promotional and sales plans and practices, cost, rate and pricing structures, accounting and business methods); (ii) identities of, individual requirements of, and specific contractual arrangements with, the Business’ suppliers, distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relations and their confidential information; (iii) trade secrets, know-how, compilations of data and analyses, techniques, systems, formulae, research, records, reports, manuals, documentation, models, data and databases relating thereto; and (iv) inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, and reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Confidential Information does not include such information which: (A) at the time of disclosure is publicly available or thereafter becomes publicly available through no act or omission of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliates, consultants or advisors, (B) is learned developed or otherwise obtained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Affiliates after the Closing, without reliance on any Business Confidential Information or (C) is thereafter disclosed, furnished or otherwise made available to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ by a third party (other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ Affiliates, consultants and advisors) who is not known by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the time of receipt to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to either of the Buyers or any other party with respect to such information. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not use, release or disclose the Business Confidential Information to any other Person, except its Affiliates, consultants and advisors who are subject to a contractual, legal, fiduciary or similar (such as obligations imposed by applicable rules of professional conduct) obligation of confidentiality to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and except as required to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, unless requested to disclose the Business Confidential Information by judicial, administrative or investigative process or required to do so by other requirements of law or so as not to violate the rules of any stock market or exchange; provided, however, that in the case of disclosure requested by judicial, administrative or investigative process or by applicable law or the rules of any stock market or exchange, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law and such rules) notify either Buyer reasonably promptly of the request or requirement so that the Buyers may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.1(f)(i). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is requested to disclose any Business Confidential Information by judicial, administrative or investigative process, or required to do so by applicable law or the rules of any stock market or exchange ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may so disclose the Information; provided, however, that at the written request of the Buyers and to the extent that the procedures for obtaining such are available, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the expense of the Buyers, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Business Confidential Information requested or required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the foregoing, each of the Buyers acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ had and has numerous relationships outside the Business with Persons who were or are, or may become suppliers, distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relations of the Business and may obtain (or have obtained) Business Confidential Information from such Persons in the

- 54 -

course of, or pursuant to, such outside relationships (such Business Confidential Information, if not primarily related to the Business, the “Excluded Information”). Accordingly, each of the Buyers acknowledges and agrees that the limitations on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Affiliates, consultants and advisors’ rights to disclose and/or use Business Confidential Information set forth in this Section 9.1(f)(i) or elsewhere in this Agreement do not apply to any disclosure and/or use of any Excluded Information.

(ii) General Non-Disclosure of Information. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(f)(i) above, each of the Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (a “Receiving Party”) shall hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence all Information concerning the other Party (except in the case of each of the Buyers, in its sole discretion, the Business Confidential Information) furnished to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or the other Party’s Affiliates, consultants and advisors at any time prior to Closing or otherwise pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) (except to the extent that such Information (A) at the time of disclosure is publicly available or thereafter becomes publicly available through no act or omission of Receiving Party or its Affiliates, consultants or advisors, (B) is learned developed or otherwise obtained by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, without reliance on any Information or (C) is thereafter disclosed, furnished or otherwise made available to the Receiving Party by a third party (other than the Receiving Party’s Affiliates, consultants and advisors) who is not known by the Receiving Party at the time of receipt to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Receiving Party or any other party with respect to such information) and the Receiving Party shall not use, release or disclose such Information to any other Person, except its Affiliates, consultants and advisors who are subject to a contractual, legal, fiduciary or similar (such as obligations imposed by applicable rules of professional conduct) obligation of confidentiality to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, unless requested to disclose the Information by judicial, administrative or investigative process or required to do so by other requirements of law or so as not to violate the rules of any stock exchange; provided, however, that in the case of disclosure requested by judicial, administrative or investigative process or by applicable law or the rules of any stock market or exchange, the Receiving Party shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law and such rules) notify the Disclosing Party reasonably promptly of the request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.1(f)(ii). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party is requested to disclose any Information by judicial, administrative or investigative process, or required to do so by applicable law or the rules of any stock market or exchange the Receiving Party may so disclose the Information; provided, however, that at the written request of the Disclosing Party and to the extent that the procedures for obtaining such are available, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the expense of the Disclosing Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Information requested or required to be disclosed

9.2 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) Non-Competition by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that (i) the Business may be irreparably damaged if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries

- 55 -

while, but only while, such entity is a direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and such subsidiaries, a “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Noncompetition Party”) were to engage in the manufacture of equipment front-end modules, load ports, vacuum process modules or robots or sub-components to robots, including end effectors, arms and software (collectively, the “Covered Products”) based on the designs and specifications of any third party (subject to the following exclusions, the “Competitive Business”) except in each case to the extent that such manufacturing is performed in connection with a larger system, that is wholly or substantially designed and developed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ using intellectual property owned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries of Affiliates or for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any such subsidiary has a license or other right to use for purposes other than to manufacture to the licensor’s designs or specifications. In further consideration for the Buyers’ payment of the Purchase Price under this Agreement, in respect of which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that it is receiving a substantial and direct benefit, and in order to protect the value of the Business acquired by the Buyers hereunder (including the goodwill inherent in the Business as of the date hereof), during the period commencing at the Closing Time and continuing until the third anniversary of the Closing Time (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Noncompetition Period”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, and shall cause each other ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Noncompetition Party not to, (1) engage in the Competitive Business or (2) acquire or hold any economic or financial interest in, act as a partner, member, or shareholder of or otherwise operate or hold an interest in any Person which is both (x) engaged primarily in the Competitive Business and (y) located in a country in which the Business operates as of the Closing Time; provided, however, that the foregoing covenants shall not prohibit, or be interpreted as prohibiting, any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Noncompetition Party from:

(i) continuing anywhere in the world to engage in any type of business conducted by any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Noncompetition Party at the Closing Time (including any extensions or additions to such business), which is not part of the Business;

(ii) purchasing products or services from, or selling products or services to, or otherwise engaging in any other relationship with, any other Person (whether or not engaged in the Competitive Business);

(iii) making equity investments of not more than five percent (5%) of the voting securities of publicly owned companies which conduct a Competitive Business;

(iv) performing its obligations under this Agreement and any agreement or transaction contemplated by this Agreement; or

(v) acquiring any Person which conducts a Competitive Business and subsequently operating such business if in the calendar year prior to such acquisition, the consolidated revenues of such Person from its Competitive Business do not constitute more than ten percent (10%) of the total consolidated revenues of such Person.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Non-Solicitation. During the period commencing at the Closing Time and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Time (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Non-Solicitation Period”), none of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Noncompetition Parties shall, either individually or acting in concert with another Person:

- 56 -

(i) directly or indirectly request, induce or attempt to influence any distributor, supplier or customer of goods or services of the Business to curtail, cancel or refrain from maintaining or increasing the amount or type of business such distributor, supplier or customer of goods or services is currently transacting, or may be transacting during the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Non-Solicitation Period, with the Business or modify its pricing or other terms of sale with the Business;

(ii) directly solicit for employment or retention, or hire, employ or retain any person who was an employee of the Business and after the Closing becomes an employee of the Buyers or one of the Buyers’ subsidiaries; or

(iii) directly influence or attempt to influence any person who was an employee of the Business prior to the Closing and who becomes an employee of one of the Buyers or one of the Buyers’ subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment with the Buyers or one of the Buyers’ subsidiaries;

provided, that in each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, placing general advertisements or using job placement services shall not constitute solicitation or influence, so long as, in the case of job placement services, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not identify specific individuals or either of the Buyers to the job placement service.

(c) Non-Solicitation by the Buyers and their Affiliates. During the period commencing at the Closing Time and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Time, neither Buyer nor any of either Buyer’s Affiliates while, but only while, such entity is an Affiliate of either Buyer shall, either individually or acting in concert with another Person, except with respect to any current employee of the Business: (i) directly solicit for employment or retention, or hire, employ or retain any employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) directly influence or attempt to influence any person who is an employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment therewith, provided, that in each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, placing general advertisements or using placement services shall not constitute solicitation or influence, so long as, in the case of job placement services, neither specific individuals nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is identified to the placement service.

(d) Severability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time, in any judicial or arbitration proceeding, any of the restrictions stated in this Section 9.2 are found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the Parties each agree that the period, scope or geographical area, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the extent necessary to enable the court to enforce the restrictions to the extent such provisions are allowable under applicable law thereby, giving effect to the agreement and intent of the Parties that the restrictions contained herein shall be effective to the fullest extent permissible. In the event of a breach or violation of any of the provisions of this Section 9.2, the applicable restrictive period will be tolled for so long as such breach or violation continues. Each of Parent, the Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable in all respects and that, with respect to the restrictions on competition applicable to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇

- 57 -

Noncompetition Parties are necessary to protect the Buyers’ interest in, and the value of, the Business.

(e) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. Each the Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by the other of any of the provisions of this Section 9.2, it would suffer irreparable harm, no adequate remedy at law would exist, and damages would be difficult to determine. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching party may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

9.3 Director and Officer Indemnification. Neither Buyer shall take or cause, or permit to be taken or caused by any Person, any action to alter or impair any exculpatory or indemnification provisions, now existing in the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of any Business Subsidiary, for the benefit of any individual who served as a director or officer of any Business Subsidiary at any time prior to the Closing Time, except for any changes that may be required to conform with changes in applicable law and any changes that do not affect the application of such provisions to acts or omissions of such individuals prior to the Closing Time.

9.4 Disclosure Generally; Knowledge; Updates to Disclosure Schedules.

(a) Any information furnished in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall be deemed to modify all of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ representations and warranties. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Business, has resulted in or would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect, is an admission or indication of any breach of contract or violation of law (or that such breach or violation exists or has occurred) or is outside the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ knowledge,” “known by ▇▇▇▇▇▇” or other words of similar meaning shall mean the actual knowledge on the date hereof of the persons listed on Schedule 9.4(a) attached hereto, without any obligation of investigation or inquiry, and shall not refer to the knowledge of any other Person.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to submit to the Buyers, from time to time between the date hereof and the Closing Time, written updates to the Disclosure Schedule disclosing any events or developments that occur or any information learned between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Time. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ representations and warranties contained in Article II shall be construed for all purposes of this Agreement in accordance with the Disclosure Schedule, as so updated; provided, that the Buyers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such update to the Disclosure Schedule to the extent provided in Section 7.1(e).

9.5 Certain Employee Benefits Matters.

- 58 -

(a) Pre-Closing Conduct; Other Liabilities. No Business Subsidiary or any other subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be under any obligation to terminate the employment of any employee engaged primarily in the Business (a “Business Employee”) prior to the Closing Time. The Buyers shall, joint and severally, assume the liability for any amounts to which any Business Employee becomes entitled under any Employee Benefit Plan (including any Employee Benefit Plan that exists or arises (or may be deemed to exist or arise) under any applicable law or otherwise), as a result of, or in connection with, (i) the employment of any Business Employee on or after the Closing Time and (ii) except with respect to the employees specified in Section 9.5(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Buyers’ failure to offer employment or to employ Business Employees in accordance with Section 9.5(b) or applicable local law.

(b) Offer of Employment; Continuation of Employment. The Parties hereto intend that there shall be continuity of employment with respect to all Business Employees identified in Section 9.5(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule. Neither Buyer shall employ or shall be required to employ the Business Employees identified in Section 9.5(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule. The Buyers shall offer to all Business Employees identified in Section 9.5(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, including those on vacation, military leave, layoff, leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid) or disability, employment with one of the Buyers or one of the Buyers’ Affiliates in a position with substantially similar duties and responsibilities as such employee has in his or her current position in the Business commencing at the Closing Time on the terms set forth in Section 9.5(c). The term “New Buyer Employees” shall mean the Business Employees who commence working with the Buyers at the Closing Time or continue to work with a Business Subsidiary at the Closing Time.

(c) Compensation; Employee Benefits; Severance Plans. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.5 or as otherwise required by applicable law, the Business Employees shall cease to participate in or accrue further benefits under the Business Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing Time. Beginning at the Closing Time, the Buyers shall, for the period ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Time, provide each New Buyer Employee with total cash compensation (including base salary and bonus opportunity) that is no less favorable in the aggregate than such New Buyer Employee’s total cash compensation immediately prior to the Closing Time. Beginning at the Closing Time, the Buyers shall also, for the period ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Time, maintain (or cause one of the Buyers’ subsidiaries to maintain) employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements for the benefit of each New Buyer Employee that are substantially similar to the Employee Benefit Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Time with respect to employees of the Buyers (“Buyer Plans”), provided, that if Parent maintains and the Buyers make available the Celestica Health and Welfare Benefit Plan for the New Buyer Employees, then this shall be conclusively deemed to have maintained plans, programs and practices that are “substantially similar” to the plans, programs and practices in effect immediately prior to the Closing Time even if these plans are modified prior to the twelve (12) month period described above as part of the annual review of such plans and provided that such modifications apply to all participants in such plans in an equivalent manner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, beginning at the Closing Time, the Buyers shall, for the period ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Time, maintain (or cause one of the Buyers’ subsidiaries to maintain) a severance pay plan, program or practice for the benefit of each New Buyer Employee

- 59 -

that is substantially similar to the plan, program or practice in effect immediately prior to the Closing Time with respect to such New Buyer Employee. All Buyer Plans and the Buyers’ severance pay plans, programs or practices, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the relevant insurance carriers, shall recognize all credited service of New Buyer Employees with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility and vesting and level of benefits to the same extent such service was recognized under similar plans maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Time. Effective as of the Closing, all Business Employees who participate in 401(k) Plans maintained by either ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries shall cease to participate in such plans. Each of the Buyers shall establish, if it does not already maintain, a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401 of the Code which shall accept direct or indirect rollovers by Business Employees of their vested interest in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ 401(k) Plan.

(d) Welfare Plans. With respect to any Buyer Plan that is a “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) or any plan directly or indirectly maintained or contributed to by Celestica Oregon providing similar benefits to a “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Celestica Oregon shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the relevant insurance carriers, (i) cause to be waived any pre-existing condition limitations or actively-at-work requirements and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, New Buyer Employees in the U.S. with respect to similar plans maintained during the calendar year in which the Closing Time occurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its subsidiaries for New Buyer Employees in the U.S. Celestica Oregon and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall make appropriate arrangements to allow the use by New Buyer Employees in the U.S. of any accrued benefits under any cafeteria plan (as defined in Section 125 of the Code) which was maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its subsidiaries for such New Buyer Employees in the U.S., consistent with IRS Revenue Ruling 2002-32.

(e) Accrued Personal, Sick or Vacation Time. At or as soon after the Closing Time as is practicable under ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ payroll procedures, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay out the accrued but unused vacation time on its books with respect to its U.S. hourly Business Employees who are ceasing to be its employees.

(e) The licenses to use the Retained Marks set forth in this Section 9.7 shall not prohibit ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries from using the Retained Marks (or any similar name or logo) during the term of the respective license or thereafter in any manner. The Buyers agree that the Buyers’ use of the Retained Marks shall be consistent with the past practices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its respective direct and indirect subsidiaries in connection with their business and operations and, with respect to such use, the Buyers shall adhere to substantially similar quality standards to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its direct and indirect subsidiaries adhered immediately prior to the Closing.

9.8 Use of Retained Marks in Transferred Technology. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers will cooperate and use reasonable commercial efforts to provide to the Buyers for inclusion in the Buyers website(s), as promptly as practicable following the Closing, all text, images and other content contained in all web sites relating exclusively or primarily to the Business maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or its Affiliates). Subject to the provisions of Section 9.7 hereof, prior to including any such text, images or other content in its web site, the Buyers shall remove all references to the Retained Marks from any such text, images or other content. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or its Affiliates) shall retain ownership of all domain names employing the name “▇▇▇▇▇▇” or “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Automation” and all similar variations of either and neither the Buyers nor any of the Buyers’ Affiliates shall have any right or license to any such domain name. To the extent the Business utilized any internet protocol address space allocated to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, such internet protocol address space shall remain the property of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and no rights or licenses are granted to the Buyers with respect thereto.

9.9 Allocation of Certain Lease Payments. Any rent, utilities, additional rent to cover insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses or other amounts payable (other than taxes) by the tenant under a Lease for a Leased Facility or any lease payments, fees or other amounts payable (other than taxes) by the lessor under a lease for Equipment that is an Acquired Asset (each a “Lease Expense”) shall be allocated between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers in the following manner:

(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for the payment of all Lease Expenses that apply solely to the use of a Leased Facility or Equipment that is an Acquired Asset (“Acquired Equipment”) for a period of time ending on or before the Closing Time, except for any such Lease Expenses which would otherwise be satisfied by a Prepaid Asset that is an Acquired Asset.

(b) The Buyers shall be responsible, joint and severally, for the payment of all Lease Expenses that apply solely to the use of a Leased Facility or Acquired Equipment for a period of time beginning on or after the Closing Time.

(c) Responsibility for the payment of any Lease Expense that applies to the use of a Leased Facility or Acquired Equipment during a period of time which begins prior to the Closing Time and ends after the Closing Time (a “Lease Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Buyers, joint and severally, based on the number of days during such

- 62 -

Lease Straddle Period that the Leased Facility or Equipment was in the possession of each, respectively, with the Buyers being deemed to be in possession of the Leased Facility beginning at the Closing Time; provided, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be responsible for payment of any Lease Expense for which there is a corresponding Prepaid Asset that is an Acquired Asset.

(d) The Buyers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall allocate payment of any pending but unpaid assessments which are levied against the lessee of any Leased Facility prior to the Closing and relate to a Lease Straddle Period in accordance with the periods of use of such Leased Facility by each party.

10.9 Governing Law. Subject to the provisions of certain Exhibits hereto regarding the application of local law, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.

10.10 Amendments and Waivers. The Parties may mutually amend or waive any provision of this Agreement at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties.

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the body making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision

10.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.13 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party may be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state or jurisdiction thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter.

10.14 Submission to Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of certain Exhibits hereto regarding the submission of actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to such Exhibits to courts of local jurisdictions, each Party (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York City, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in any such court, and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.

Either Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.8. Nothing in this Section 10.14, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.16 Construction. Except where expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation apply to this Agreement: (i) “either” and “or” are not exclusive and “include,” “includes” and “including” are not limiting; (ii) “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) “date hereof” refers to the date set forth in the initial caption of this Agreement; (iv) “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not mean simply “if”; (v) definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms; (vi) references to a contract or agreement mean such contract or agreement as amended or otherwise modified from time to time; (vii) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns; (viii) references to an “Article,” “Section,” “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refer to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to,

10.17 Currency; Foreign Exchange Conversions. If any amount to be paid, transferred, allocated, indemnified, reimbursed or calculated pursuant to, or in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule (including the Disclosure Schedule) referred to herein (including the calculation, payment or reimbursement of Damages under Article VI hereof) is originally stated or expressed in a currency other than United States Dollars, then, for the purpose of determining the amount to be so paid, transferred, allocated, indemnified, reimbursed or calculated, such amount shall be converted into United States Dollars at the exchange rate between those two currencies most recently quoted in The Wall Street Journal in New York as of the Business Day immediately prior to (or, if no such quote exists on such Business Day, on the closest Business Day prior to) the day on which the party required to make such payment, transfer, indemnification, reimbursement or calculation first becomes obligated to do so hereunder (or, in the case of Article VI hereof, would have first become obligated to do so but for the operation of Section 6.5(b) hereof); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.17 shall be deemed to require any party to make any foreign currency conversion or other similar calculation that violates or conflicts with, or otherwise causes a party to violate, applicable law or U.S. GAAP.

10.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby irrevocably waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the actions of either Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.
