CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

AND WHEREAS the Parties desire to amend and restate the MCMSA to reflect the expanded scope of the relationship with respect to the Transferred Business, as well as to incorporate various amendments to the MCMSA;

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1
SCOPE OF THE RELATIONSHIP

1.1

Expectations

Nortel Networks and Flextronics will collaborate in the development and execution of strategic plans for support of Nortel Networks’ business strategy worldwide for the portfolio of Products.

1.2

Opportunities

Nortel Networks will provide access for Flextronics to the relevant Nortel Networks Product development teams (design, marketing and operations) to provide Flextronics with the opportunity to share in Nortel Networks’ market leadership success worldwide. Nortel Networks has designated Flextronics as a Strategic Supplier under Nortel Networks current Supplier Business Engagement Model.

1.3

Commitments and Obligations

1.3.1

Allocation

During the Amended Term, Nortel Networks shall purchase from Flextronics and Flextronics shall supply the Allocation of the requirements of the Virtual Systems Houses for the Products listed in the relevant Virtual Systems House Agreement as of the applicable VSHA Effective Date.. Flextronics shall only sell or distribute the Products to Nortel Networks or its designate. Nortel Networks will review each applicable Allocation every 3 months and may increase or reduce such Allocation at its discretion, notice of which Nortel Networks will give to Flextronics at least 30 days before the beginning of the next quarter, provided however that if the Allocation is reduced more than 65% of the current Allocation, Nortel Networks will give such notice to Flextronics at least 60 days before the beginning of the next quarter. If Nortel Networks wishes to reduce the Allocation to 0%, it will give 180 days notice of such intention to Flextronics. If Nortel Networks wishes to source follow-on or new products from Flextronics, the Parties will amend the relevant VSHA to add such products. The supply of follow-ons to Products and new products shall be agreed in writing between the Parties from time to time. Any changes to

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

the Allocation shall not change Nortel Networks obligations with respect to the Minimum Commitment as set out in Section 1.3.2.

1.3.2

Minimum Commitment

		During the first three (3) years of the Amended Term, Nortel Networks will source a minimum of [ • ] of its spend on Manufacturable Products with Flextronics. In the fourth (4^th) year of the Amended Term, Nortel Networks will source a minimum of [ • ] of its spend on Manufacturable Products with Flextronics. Nortel Networks, through its auditor, has verified that the actual percentage of Manufacturable Products to be transferred as of the Commencement Date is in the range of [ • ] based on the Nortel Networks September 2003 version of the 2004 forecast for Manufacturable Products of its forecasted spend on Manufacturable Products for the twelve months following such date. At Flextronics’s option, it may request Nortel Networks’ current auditor to verify whether Nortel Networks has met its Minimum Commitment on an annual basis. Flextronics shall be entitled to request that Nortel Networks provide an unaudited confirmation of whether it has satisfied the Minimum Commitment on a quarterly basis.

		The Minimum Commitment will be represented in US dollars on annual basis. For the purposes of calculating this Minimum Commitment, the numerator shall be comprised of Nortel Networks spend with Flextronics on Manufacturable Products and the denominator shall be comprised of Nortel Networks total spend on Manufacturable Products.

		Nortel Networks commitment to source requirements for design services related to the Transferred Business is set out in Section 6.

	1.3.3		Adjustments to the Minimum Commitment

	(A)		Pre-Existing Commitments

		Flextronics acknowledges that Nortel Networks has a contractual commitment to one other EMS Supplier to provide a certain minimum level of revenue with respect to Manufacturable Products. Nortel Networks acknowledges that as of the Execution Date, this contractual commitment does not impact Nortel Networks ability to achieve the Minimum Commitment.

		Nortel Networks failure to satisfy the Minimum Commitment due to its pre-existing commitment to this EMS Supplier shall not relieve Nortel Networks of its obligations to Flextronics under Section 1.3.4.

(B)

Competitive Criteria

If Flextronics fails to remain Competitive with its competitors with respect to any Product, then Nortel Networks may source such Product from another supplier. Records of any such deductions from the Minimum Commitment will be made in writing and exchanged between the Parties for full verification and agreement each quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nortel Networks will not transfer the Product(s) if Flextronics becomes Competitive within forty-five

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

		(45) days from notification by Nortel Networks that Flextronics has failed to remain Competitive, as defined below.

		For the purposes of this Section, “Competitive” means terms and conditions taken as a whole that are more favourable to Nortel Networks, as determined in a “bona fide benchmarking” exercise or as provided in a bona fide quote from a third party considering price, product quality, lead times, delivery, warranty, technical support, and other criteria identified by Nortel Networks in writing to Flextronics. A “bona fide benchmarking exercise” shall be considered to be one performed by an independent recognized benchmarking firm which is (i) selected by Nortel Networks from those companies which are regularly engaged in the industry related to the Transferred Business, or other consultant as agreed between the Parties, (ii) is not a competitor of Flextronics and (iii) which has executed a non-disclosure agreement reasonably satisfactory to Flextronics. All fees and charges paid to such benchmarking firm shall be borne by Nortel Networks, and such fees and charges shall not be contingent upon reaching a conclusion favourable to Nortel Networks. Each party shall have the opportunity to advise the benchmarking firm of any information or factors that it deems relevant to the conduct of the benchmarking, with the intention of providing an “apples to apples” comparison, so long as such information is disclosed to the other Party. The benchmarking firm shall provide the written reports and the core data resulting from the benchmarking to both Nortel Networks and Flextronics, including the factors actually used to perform the benchmarking, data on participants and confidence factors related to the accuracy of the data and the benchmarking methodology. Flextronics will be entitled to challenge the accuracy of the results of the benchmarking exercise pursuant to the Issue Resolution and Escalation Process.

		Notwithstanding the above, the Parties agree that transformation costs for Products produced in legacy Nortel Networks System Houses will not be subject to the cost portion of the “Competitive” criteria will not be factored into the determination of whether Flextronics is Competitive for a period of [•] after the applicable VSHA Effective Date. The parties will review the transformation costs for such products after such [•] time period to determine whether this exception will apply in the final [•] of the Amended Term.

(C)

Performance Issues

Nortel Networks may source its requirements for a Product Family from other suppliers, in the event that Flextronics is in breach of the breachable Report Card metrics with respect to the applicable Product, as set out in Section 2.4.5 herein.

(D)

Local Content Requirements

In the event that Flextronics is not able to comply with local governmental or regulatory content requirements or provide an equivalent alternative solution, including applicable environmental directives, Nortel Networks may source its requirements for an affected Product Family from other suppliers who are able to so comply. If Flextronics presents a plan for compliance or equivalent alternative solution, pursuant to the qualification process and requirements set forth in Section 4.1, that will meet Nortel Networks local content requirements within six (6) months,

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Nortel Networks will return the sourcing of such Product Family to Flextronics when it is able to meet its plan and the associated revenue will no longer be subject to Section 1.3.5. During this six (6) month period, the revenue associated with the affected Product Family will be subject to Section 1.3.5. If Flextronics does not present such a plan, but later is able to comply with these requirements, Nortel Networks may, at its discretion, keep the sourcing with the other supplier and the revenue associated with the affected Product Family will be subject to Section 1.3.5.

(E)

Ability to Supply

		Flextronics will provide Nortel Networks preferential treatment with respect to security of supply of the Products. However, if Flextronics does not have sufficient supply of the Products to meet Flextronics’s Allocation of Nortel Networks requirements, Nortel Networks may source some or all of the portion of Flextronics’s Allocation that Flextronics is unable to supply from other suppliers. If Flextronics continues to be able to supply 50% or more of Flextronics’s Allocation of Nortel Networks requirements during the period when Flextronics is unable to meet all of Nortel Networks requirements, then Nortel Networks will return the sourcing of the affected Products to Flextronics at the end of this period. If Flextronics is not able to supply such level of Nortel Networks requirements, then the revenue associated with the affected Products will be subject to Section 1.3.5.

		Nortel Networks may exercise any of its rights to source from alternative suppliers as provided in subsections (A) — (E) above, upon 90 days written notice. In any situation where Flextronics disputes the reason for such exercise of Nortel Networks rights, Flextronics shall, within fifteen days of receiving such notice, forward the dispute to the Issue Resolution and Escalation Process.

1.3.4

Remedy for Failure to Achieve Minimum Commitment

If Nortel Networks fails to meet the Minimum Commitment for any reason other than those set out in Section 1.3.3(B), (C), (D) or (E) above, Nortel Networks shall compensate Flextronics [•]. The Parties will negotiate such costs in good faith.

1.3.5

Calculation of Reduction of Minimum Commitment

If Nortel Networks elects to source a specific Product from another supplier for any of the reasons set forth in Section 1.3.3 (B), (C), (D) or (E) above the Minimum Commitment will be reduced by the percentage that such Product constitutes of the total Manufacturable Products and in the case of Sections 1.3.3(D) and (E) for the applicable duration.

Example:

Nortel Networks Spend on Manufacturable Products = $1B
Minimum Commitment [•]
Product “A” revenue transferred to other supplier = $50M
Product “A” % of Manufacturable Products = 5%
Adjusted Minimum Commitment [•]

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1.3.6

ODM Products

Nortel Networks will give Flextronics the opportunity to bid on all new in-scope ODM products. Nortel Networks will award the business relating to such ODM Products to Flextronics provided that (i) Flextronics is able to supply such ODM Products to Nortel Networks at prices and on such other terms and conditions which are not less favourable to Nortel Networks than the prices, terms and conditions that can be obtained from other Nortel Networks suppliers (or its Affiliates) (ii) Flextronics has proven and maintains its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to Products (iii) Flextronics has product expertise recognized by applicable industry standards, including appropriate hardware and software technology roadmap (iv) Flextronics has the capability of performing the applicable design work (v) Flextronics can meet Nortel Networks time to market requirements and schedule (vi) there are no IP restrictions, or where IP restrictions exist, Flextronics is able to license the IP while remaining competitive. Nortel Networks and Flextronics will meet at least annually to review their respective ODM plans, future ODM requirements, and applicable technology roadmaps.

1.4

shall be reviewed. Such Site operations reviews are intended to consider Site level issues relating to the Production Effort and Services, as referenced in the applicable Virtual Systems House Agreement.

2.4

Report Cards and Liquidated Damages

2.4.1

Report Cards

		Flextronics shall complete report cards as set out in section 3A in the applicable VSHA, which shall be used as a method to measure against the goals of quality, service and cost, as well as performance with respect to Product Life-cycle Planning, and shall deliver such report cards to Nortel Networks at the frequency set out in applicable VSHA. The VSHA will set out the metrics to be measured for each System House and which metrics will be eligible for liquidated damages and how to determine breach (the “Metrics”). Nortel Networks reserves the right to review the report cards and to conduct an audit to determine their accuracy.

		For each Metric, there will be two performance criteria: “Minimum Performance” and “Continuous Improvement”. Minimum Performance criteria will be used to measure whether the process is in control and meeting the minimum performance expectations. Continuous Improvement criteria will be used to assess improvement of the average performance of the applicable process and reduction of process variations.

		The “Minimum Performance Baseline” and “Continuous Improvement Baseline” will be established for each breachable metrics as follows, unless otherwise mutually agreed.


(a)	an operational definition of each metric will be outlined in the applicable VSHA,
(b)	Minimum Performance Baseline:
	(i)	Initial Minimum Performance Baseline will be: Historical data from the six (6) months prior to the applicable VSHA Effective Date will be used to calculate the average performance and standard deviation. In the event that six (6) months of historical data is not available, the Flextronics will measure the metric for six (6) months before establishing the average and standard deviation. The calculation will be done at the Product Family level.
		1.	For a process that should be maximized (where a higher metric value is better), the six (6) month average minus one standard deviation.
		2.	For a process that should be minimized, (where a lower metric value is better), the six (6) month average plus one standard deviation.
	(ii)	The Minimum Performance Baseline will be reviewed and adjusted each calendar year as follows;
		1.	For a process that should be maximized, the twelve (12) month average minus one standard deviation will be the Minimum Performance Baseline. However, this adjustment will not be lower than the Initial Minimum Performance Baseline established at transfer of the applicable System House or any Minimum Performance Baseline in following years, which ever is better.

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION


		2.	For a process that should be minimized, the twelve (12) month average plus one standard deviation will be the Minimum Performance Baseline. However, this adjustment will not be higher than the Initial Minimum Performance Baseline established at transfer of the applicable System House or any Minimum Performance Baseline in following years, which ever is better.
(c)	Continuous Improvement Baseline:
	(i)	The initial Continuous Improvement Baseline will be the process average from the six (6) months prior to the applicable VSHA Effective Date. In the event that six (6) months of historical data is not available, the Flextronics will measure the metric for six (6) months before establishing the average and standard deviation. The calculation will be done at the Product Family level.
	(ii)	The Continuous Improvement Baseline will be reviewed and adjusted each calendar year as follows;
		1.	For a process that should be maximized, the twelve (12) month average will be the Continuous Improvement Baseline. However, this adjustment will not be lower than the Initial Continuous Improvement Baseline established at transfer of the applicable System House or any Continuous Improvement Baseline in following years, which ever is better.
		2.	For a process that should be minimized, the twelve (12) month average will be the Continuous Improvement Baseline. However, this adjustment will not be higher than the Initial Continuous Improvement Baseline established at transfer of the applicable System House or any Continuous Improvement Baseline in following years, which ever is better.

2.4.2

Minimum Performance, and Liquidated Damages for Failure to Meet Metrics

		The Parties acknowledge that the failure of Flextronics to obtain the Minimum Performance Baseline on each metric of the report card with respect to the Product Family measured in the aggregate on that Report Card, as a result any act or omission within Flextronics’s Control and Responsibility, for a [•] period (measured as the weighted average of the scorecards for that month), shall mean that Nortel Networks may place Flextronics on “Supplier Watch” as referenced in section 8.1, that Flextronics must take corrective actions, and that Nortel Networks would be entitled to receive the applicable liquidated damages as set out below.

		If Flextronics can demonstrate performance to the aggregated metric is skewed due to an assignable cause that is beyond its Control and Responsibility at an individual Product level (e.g. — a small number of NPPI DOA rates may skew an aggregate DOA metric), the Parties will review and agree on suitable actions, which could include deducting the applicable data for the purposes of measuring Flextronics’s performance as well as calculating any resets to the performance criteria used to set the Metrics.

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The assessment of liquidated damages shall be limited to one assessment per [•]. In instances where Nortel Networks is entitled to receive damages for more than one metric, a single assessment (being the largest of the applicable assessments) shall apply. Liquidated damages shall be assessed as follows:

[•]

Payments for liquidated damages shall be made 40 days from the date Nortel Networks has documented the claim and the Parties have agreed on the amount to be assessed.

2.4.3

Continuous Improvement, and Liquidated Damages for Failure to Meet Metrics

The Parties acknowledge that the failure of Flextronics to obtain the Continuous Improvement Baseline on each metric of the report card with respect to the Product Family measured in the aggregate on that Report Card, as a result of any act or omission within Flextronics’s Control and Responsibility, for a three (3) month period (measured as the weighted average of the scorecards for a calendar quarter), shall:

	1.		Require Flextronics to take corrective actions if Flextronics is on “Supplier Watch”, as referenced in Section 8.1.

	2.		After two consecutive quarters of failure to be equal to or better than the Continuous Improvement Baseline, entitle Nortel Networks to receive the applicable liquidated damages as set out below.

		If Flextronics can demonstrate performance to the aggregated metric is skewed due to an assignable cause that is beyond its Control and Responsibility at an individual Product level (e.g. — a small number of NPPI DOA rates may skew an aggregate DOA metric), the Parties will review and agree on suitable actions, which could include deducting the applicable data for the purposes of measuring Flextronics’s performance as well as calculating any resets to the performance criteria used to set the Metrics.

		If the metric on the date of transfer of System House is on a declining trend, as measured by the last 3 months average of Nortel’s historical performance being less than the initial Continuous Improvement Baseline, the Flextronics will not be subject to liquated damages during the initial second quarter after transfer of the applicable System House. For greater clarity this is only a one time grace period, and thereafter, it would be applicable on any two consecutive quarters.

The assessment of liquidated damages shall be limited to one assessment per quarter. Liquidated damages shall [•] of Flextronics’s revenue for the affected Product Family, as measured in the aggregate on the relevant Report Card, on the second quarter of the two consecutive quarters and each quarter thereafter, if this performance criteria does not meet the Continuous Improvement Baseline. In instances where Nortel Networks is entitled to receive damages for more than one metric, a single assessment (being the largest of the applicable assessments) shall apply.

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Payments for liquidated damages shall be made 40 days from the date Nortel Networks has documented the claim and the Parties have agreed on the amount to be assessed.

2.4.4

Pass-through of Liquidated Damages from Customers

In the event Flextronics fails to meet its obligations for a specific order, and as a result Nortel Networks is required to pay liquidated damages to its Customer, Nortel Networks shall be entitled to receive from Flextronics an amount representing the lesser of:

	(a)		[•], for the order(s) against which damages were assessed (representing [•] for Flextronics Products relating to the complete Customer order), and
	(b)		[•] imposed on Nortel Networks by the Customer.

Nortel Networks shall not be entitled to receive any amount under this clause if the following conditions are not met:

	(a)		Nortel Networks shall indicate in writing to Flextronics, within three days of the applicable related Purchase Order(s) is placed, that the Product specified on the Purchase Order will be eligible for liquidated damages from Nortel Networks’ Customer and specify the terms that would trigger such liquidated damages,
	(b)		The applicable Purchase Order(s) shall be placed within normal lead time guidelines and flexibility guidelines,
	(c)		Nortel Networks has incurred and paid damages related to the applicable Purchase Order(s).

In the event that Flextronics is required to pay liquidated damages under this Section 2.4.4, the order(s) against which damages were assessed shall not be used in the calculation of whether Flextronics has met a relevant metric under Section 2.4.2 and 2.4.3.

2.4.5

Termination for Breach of Metrics

The failure of Flextronics to obtain performance results better than or equal to the Minimum Performance Baseline on the report card with respect to any Product Family as a result of any act or omission within Flextronics’s Control and Responsibility, for three (3) consecutive months (measured as the weighted average of the scorecards for each of those months), constitutes a material breach of Flextronics’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to that Product Family. The failure of Flextronics to obtain performance results better than or equal to the Continuous Improvement Baseline on the report card with respect to any Product Family as a result of any act or omission within Flextronics’s Control and Responsibility, for three (3) consecutive calendar quarters (measured as the weighted average of the scorecards for each of those quarters), constitutes a material breach of Flextronics’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to that Product Family. Such a material breach shall entitle Nortel Networks, at its discretion, to terminate its obligation to purchase the Allocation for the applicable Product Family. If Nortel Networks does not exercise its right to terminate for such breach, any applicable liquidated damages owing pursuant to Sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 will be paid by Flextronics for each successive month that Flextronics fails to obtain metric target as set out

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

herein. If Nortel Networks does exercise its right to terminate for such breach, Flextronics’s liability for any damages Nortel Networks may have suffered due to the breach shall be reduced by the amount of liquidated damages already paid. If Flextronics disputes whether there has been a material breach for purposes of this Section 2.4.5, then such dispute will be submitted to the Issue Resolution and Escalation Process in Section 2.8 prior to Nortel Networks exercise of its termination rights or Flextronics’s obligation to pay any damages.

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

3.5

Minimum Purchases

The minimum order quantity shall be one unit of Product, unless otherwise stated in the VSHA. Nortel Networks shall have no obligation to purchase any Products from Flextronics, other than as set out in Section 1.3.

3.6

Excess Inventory

Nortel Networks shall have no obligation or liability to Flextronics with respect to excess Inventory, other than as set out herein.

For the purposes of this Section, “Forecast Consumption” shall mean Nortel Networks’ actual Requirements for Products as a percentage of Nortel Networks’ Market Forecast (as calculated in dollars at the Product Family level). Forecast Consumption shall be measured at the end of each calendar quarter, and shall be calculated using the sum of the sixty (60) day Market Forecasts and the sum of the actual Requirements for each month of the three-month forecast measurement period (which shall include the last month of the previous calendar quarter, and the first two months of the current calendar quarter, which shall be defined as the “Consumption Period”). Such calculation shall be made in accordance with the methodology as set out in Exhibit 20.

The Forecast Consumption for a Consumption Period shall determine the excess uplift percentages to be calculated against the total Material Cost and paid by Nortel Networks, in accordance with the table as set out in Section 8 in the Virtual Systems House Agreement. The placeholders for the base excess uplift percentages shall be expressed as A% and the incremental excess uplift percentage shall be expressed as B% in Section 8 of Exhibit 2, and the applicable VSHAs will set out the negotiated values of A% and B%. The A% and B% represents the excess uplift percentage between Nortel Networks and Flextronics.

Compensation for excess above Forecast Consumption between EMS Tier 2 Suppliers providing Material to Flextronics (whether or not it is a NC or SC Material) shall be expressed as X% and Y%. The base excess uplift percentage (X%) in the prices charged to Flextronics will be part of the Material Cost and will flow through to Nortel Networks in the Product Price. However any incremental uplift percentage (Y%) that is in addition to the X% charged to Flextronics that is caused by Forecast Consumption less than the base range for the X% will be paid by the Flextronics and will not appear in the Product Price. It will also be the responsibility of Flextronics to monitor and track all aspects of the Forecast Consumption and excess uplift process with both NC and SC Suppliers.

For clarity, the process of calculating the applicable uplift percentages as set out above is described in Exhibit 25.

Exceptional Excess Inventory shall be defined as Inventory that is Unique to Nortel Networks, and is on hand or on order but not within Time-to-Cancel, as a result of Forecast Consumption for a Product Family that is lower than [•] for a Consumption Period. In these situations, Exceptional Excess Inventory that will not be consumed in the current Market Forecast horizon of [•], and cannot be

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

mitigated and / or cancelled by Flextronics within 30 days of the end of the Consumption Period, shall be purchased by Nortel Networks within 40 days of receipt by Nortel Networks of the information identifying such Exceptional Excess Inventory.

[•]

With respect to Consigned Inventory, including Exceptional Excess Inventory re-purchased by Nortel Networks:

	(a)		Unless Nortel Networks otherwise directs, Flextronics shall hold such Inventory on behalf of and, in the ordinary course of business, at no additional cost to Nortel Networks;
	(b)		Flextronics shall keep and care for such Consigned Inventory with the same standard of care as if it were part of the Loaned Assets for use only in the Production Effort, including the obligation to hold at Flextronics’s risk and to insure against loss.
			However, no such Inventory shall be, nor be deemed to be, a part of the Loaned Assets;
	(c)		subject to Exhibit 8, Flextronics shall place on order with Nortel Networks, and shall not place any new purchase orders with any other source, any Material which is suitable for the same use as such Consigned Inventory, or without first repurchasing such Consigned Inventory from Nortel Networks. Flextronics shall use such repurchases upon there being a requirement in the Production Effort prior to using any other Material that is suitable for the same or similar use;
	(d)		Flextronics shall make such purchase at the then current Material Cost or as otherwise agreed by the Parties. Flextronics shall make payment to Nortel Networks for such purchases within forty (40) days thereof;
	(e)		in the event Flextronics does not repurchase Consigned Inventory in accordance with the foregoing, (i) Nortel Networks shall be deemed to have sold such Inventory to Flextronics and Flextronics will immediately credit Nortel Networks with the amount attributable to such deemed repurchase; and (ii) in no event shall such Material be, or be deemed to be, Exceptional Excess Inventory or Obsolete Inventory at any time thereafter, provided however with respect to any such credited Inventory, it may only become Exceptional Excess or Obsolete Inventory if Flextronics can demonstrate that orders by Nortel Networks would not have consumed such credited Inventory;
	(f)		Flextronics shall report to Nortel Networks on a monthly basis the amount of remaining on hand with Flextronics and on order until such has been consumed; and
	(g)		Flextronics will be responsible for normal cycle count adjustments for Consigned Inventory. The Parties agree that this cost is part of the Total Cost and is included in the Pricing.

Flextronics shall take all commercially reasonable steps and employ prudent purchasing practices to purchase and have on hand only such Materials as are necessary to meet the Market Forecast, including any safety stock required to support flexibility requirements. The above provisions do not apply to End-of-Life Inventory held by Flextronics until it is purchased by Nortel Networks.

Obsolete Inventory

“Obsolete Inventory” is Inventory on-hand or on order that constitutes or contains any Material that is Unique Inventory and:

	(a)		is not on a BOM for any Product; or
	(b)		is related to a Product that has been discontinued by Nortel Networks, or transferred pursuant to Section 4.3.2 or 4.3.3, and is not on a BOM for any other Product; or
	(c)		cannot be sold as a result of a claim of intellectual property infringement as referred to in Section 15.1.3;

and is no longer foreseen to be consumed by Nortel Networks within the Market Forecast and that cannot be canceled by Flextronics within the Time-to-Cancel provisions or otherwise reduced by Flextronics in accordance with Section 3.8 and Section 4.

Nortel Networks shall purchase such Obsolete Inventory within forty-five (45) days of receipt by Nortel Networks of the information identifying such Obsolete Inventory. Nortel Networks shall pay storage charges for such Obsolete Inventory that is in Flextronics’s possession from the time of 45 days after Nortel Network purchases such Obsolete Inventory to the time of disposal of that inventory.

If a design change initiated by Flextronics has resulted in Material becoming Obsolete Inventory, then Nortel Networks shall not purchase such Obsolete Inventory, unless agreed between the Parties.

On a quarterly basis, Flextronics will provide Nortel Networks with a list of Unique Inventory for which there is no demand in the current Market Forecast and for which there has been no consumption during the past 6 months and the parties will discuss the appropriate disposition of such Unique Inventory.

3.8

Responsibility to Minimize Obsolete Inventory

Flextronics shall perform all commercially reasonable steps and employ prudent purchasing practices to purchase and have on hand only such Materials, as are necessary to meet the Market Forecast, taking into account flexibility and finished goods safety stock requirements specified in each Virtual Systems House Agreement. Nortel Networks shall reimburse Flextronics for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including restocking charges required by its suppliers, where Flextronics cannot sell such Obsolete Inventory to a third party for an amount that is at least equal to the price paid by Flextronics for such Inventory; provided that the Parties shall mutually agree to any such amount to be paid to Flextronics prior to Flextronics selling such Obsolete Inventory.

Xxxxxxxxxxx also agrees to offer a first refusal of Obsolete Inventory to Nortel Networks’ third party repair services contractor.

In no event shall the total amount of Obsolete Inventory for which Nortel Networks has liability under Section 3.7 in aggregate exceed the amount of Inventory scheduled to be consumed per the Market Forecast in effect at the time Flextronics implements the design change.

SECTION 11
PRODUCT COST MANAGEMENT PROCESS

11.1

Prices for Products

The Price for each Product shall be calculated in accordance to one of the following methods and will be identified in the Virtual System House Agreement which method is to be used:

(a)

Cost Plus Method (Traditional): The Price for each Product shall be calculated using the actual Material Cost for all Material in the Product and all Transformation Costs, in accordance with the Cost Methodology identified in the Virtual System House Agreement and set out in Exhibit 13.1. The Price for each Product will be calculated monthly, or as otherwise stated in the VSHA.

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

	(b)		Modified Product Level Pricing Method (MPLP): The Price for each Product shall be calculated using the actual Material Cost for NC Material and a firm price commitment for the SC Material and all Transformation Costs. The method for calculating the Price will be in accordance with the Cost Methodology identified in the Virtual System House Agreement and set out in Exhibit 13.2. The Price for each Product will be calculated monthly, or as otherwise stated in the VSHA, taking into account changes in Material Cost for NC Material, and appropriate adjustment to the Transformation Cost.
	(c)		Product Level Pricing Method (PLP): The Price for a Product shall be a firm Price commitment for a specific time period and includes all Material Cost and Transformation Costs, and shall be set out in Schedule A to the relevant VSHA for the period of time as set out therein.

Once established in accordance with the applicable methodology, the Price for a Product will not be modified unless expressly agreed to by the Parties pursuant to the Price change process specified for the applicable pricing method in Section 11.3.

The Price for Prototype Products shall be agreed upon by the Parties under either the NPPI Process or Design Services Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Flextronics shall provide up to [•] design prototypes at no more than [•] in excess of the agreed upon production pricing rates for SC Material and Transformation Costs for the Prototype Product. Nortel Networks will manage the pricing for NC Material for Prototype Products directly with the NC Suppliers.

Unless otherwise agreed upon in the relevant Virtual Systems House Agreement, all Prices for Products, Pre-Production Products and Rework Fees, Repair Fees and Upgrade Fees (collectively the “Fees”) are (a) expressed in U.S. dollars, (b) exclusive of any applicable excise, sales, goods and services, value added or similar taxes now existing or hereinafter imposed by any applicable taxing authority except as is required by law to be included in the Price, and (c) inclusive of Logistics Operations Services, with the exception of outbound freight costs. For purposes of clause (b) in the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of Section 11.2.1 shall apply. The Prices shall always be deemed to include all charges for any Consumable Material consumed in the Production Effort and Services.

11.1.1

Day One Pricing

		The Parties agree that the aggregate transaction price immediately after the transfer (“Day One Pricing”) for each Product Family or category of Services that are transferred by Nortel Networks or another EMS Supplier to Flextronics [•]. These prices will be set out in the applicable VSHA executed by the Parties.

		In order to establish Prices as of the applicable VSHA Effective Date, Nortel Networks shall provide sufficient information to support current Total Costs to be included in Prices as at such date. This process will be documented in Exhibit 29. Flextronics will determine by the end of 4 months after the VSHA Effective Date whether it is satisfied that the resources and cost responsibilities, as transferred, are accurately reflected in the Total Costs as provided by Nortel

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

		Networks. If Flextronics is not so satisfied, it will notify Nortel Networks and present reasonable evidence to support this determination. If Nortel Networks accepts this determination, the Parties will mutually agree on restated Prices for the applicable Products, which shall be retroactive to the first invoice. If Nortel Networks does not accept this determination, the Parties shall follow the Issue Escalation and Dispute Resolution Process. Upon acceptance or other resolution of the revised Pricing, the Party which either overpaid or overcharged will pay the other Party the difference between the amounts originally invoiced and the revised Product Prices 40 days after receipt of invoice.

		In the event that the initial Transformation Costs allocation methodology results in a pricing inaccuracy greater than the Threshold Commitment during the first year following the transfer, the Parties will negotiate in good faith amended pricing; provided however, that if the pricing for one Product Family is increased due to more allocation absorption, the pricing for other Product Families will be appropriately decreased due to less allocation absorption.

		Within the first 7 months after the applicable VSHA Effective Date, if Flextronics considers that the initial MPLP cost reduction commitments provided by Nortel Networks as part of the Day One Pricing contained an Error, as defined hereafter, that adversely impacts Flextronics’s ability to meet such cost reduction commitments, Flextronics shall bring this to Nortel Networks attention and the Parties will negotiate in good faith an appropriate amendment to the applicable cost reduction commitment. An Error is defined as any one or more of the following errors or any substantially similar errors:

	(a)		Nortel Networks set the cost reduction commitment using unjustified expectations; or
	(b)		Nortel Networks used cost information other than information provided or had available; or
	(c)		Data entry mistakes were made; or
	(d)		incorrect unit of measures were used (i.e. cost reduction should have per 1000 but unit of 1 used in error); or
	(e)		PCB panelization errors (i.e. price for a 2-up board should have been used but a 1-up board used in error); or
	(f)		BOM errors (i.e. a subassembly was missing from the BOM).

		Any conditions outside the scope of the Errors that contribute to Flextronics’s ability to meet cost reduction commitments will be subject to Threshold Commitment.

		Thereafter, Nortel Networks and Flextronics will set product prices using the Cost Plus, MPLP or PLP Processes, as applicable.

11.2

Payment, Taxes and Duties

11.2.1

Invoices

Each invoice shall be rendered against the relevant Purchase Order. On each invoice submitted to Nortel Networks, Flextronics shall reference the number of the Purchase Order(s) issued for

11.4

Financial Review and Targets

For Products for which Cost Plus (Traditional) Pricing Method is in effect, Flextronics shall review quarterly as part of the QBR, [•], and shall provide the results of such review to NNL within two weeks following the public announcement of Flextronics’s quarterly results. As part of such review, Flextronics Parent shall review [•] and any other items as may be agreed; provided that in the case where Flextronics is a party to written confidentiality agreements with third parties that prevent the disclosure of material pricing, Flextronics will request permission to disclose such information to Nortel Networks, failing which it will provide Nortel Networks with market price information related to a “basket” of materials and a list of such Tier 2 Suppliers who have refused such permission Flextronics shall manage the Production Effort in a manner intended to achieve the business and financial targets, and with the intent to achieve cost reductions for the Products in the future.

For Products for which Modified Product Level Pricing or Product Level Pricing Methods are in effect, Flextronics shall provide necessary Product-specific financial data as requested by Nortel Networks in order to allow Nortel Networks to validate Price, cost reduction sharing and the Threshold Commitment.

11.5

Operational

Flextronics shall provide to Nortel Networks each month the cost information for each Product as specified in Exhibit 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable.

11.6

Cost Modeling

For Products, regardless of which Pricing Method is in effect and the commitments in Exhibit 17, Nortel Networks and Flextronics shall jointly maintain their agreed upon portion of the applicable cost model forecasts based on the Market Forecast provided by Nortel Networks for the four (4) rolling financial quarters in the future and share with Nortel Networks the evolution of this cost model estimated for such four (4) rolling financial quarters in the future, as well as Flextronics’s action plan to measure performance against and to achieve these targets. The cost model will show Price along with cost evolution reflecting technology, component and process cost curves and labour and overhead improvement plans, all of the foregoing to include volume impact. An example of this cost model is provided in Exhibit 13-3.

11.7

Budget

On or prior to the applicable VSHA Effective Date, Nortel Networks will provide Flextronics with its capital expenditure plans that relate to the System Houses located at the Transferred Businesses. These capital expenditure plans will be used by Flextronics for the calculation of the Year One Total Cost for pricing the Products. For Products for which Cost Plus (Traditional) Pricing Method is in effect, Flextronics shall present its capital expenditure plans that are based on and consistent with the capital

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

expenditure plans provided by Nortel Networks above and that directly relate to the Production Effort and Services, with the relevant cost quotes and budget for Products, quarterly to Nortel Networks.

11.8

Ongoing Cost Reduction

“Ongoing Cost Reduction” or “OCR” means the universe of cost reductions minus the “Incremental Cost Reductions” or “ICR” (as defined in Section 11.9.1). The Parties acknowledge that they have arrived at the concepts of OCR and ICR by assigning cost reduction that Nortel Networks generally would have been able to achieve through its own efforts, had it retained the Transferred Business, to the OCR category and cost reduction that Nortel Networks generally would not have been thus able to achieve to the ICR category. OCR cannot be used to fulfill the Committed ICR %, as set out below Flextronics commits to the cost reduction to Prices as set out in the applicable VSHA. The implementation is set out in Exhibit 17-1. Nortel Networks is responsible for generating the plan for the OCRs for Year One.

11.9

Incremental Cost Reduction

Flextronics will use its materials management capabilities to leverage SC and NC spend, cost management, cost to market sites, vertical integration, logistics, repair and design services capabilities to achieve additional cost reductions, which are incremental to the OCR. The process for measuring and implementing incremental cost reduction is set out in Exhibit 17-2.

11.9.1 Definition of ICR

“Incremental Cost Reduction” or “ICR” means the list of cost reduction programs set forth in Exhibit 17-2 and the Phased Close Side Letter dated as of June 29, 2004 (“Phased Close Side Letter”).

11.9.2 ICR Commitment

Flextronics agrees that it will pass on to Nortel Networks ICR equal to a certain percentage of the total revenue received from purchases of goods and services made by Nortel Networks, excluding purchases of IRM and Non-integrated OEM (“Total Revenue”). This percentage is defined as the “Committed ICR %”. [•]. If the Total Revenue is reduced because Nortel Networks has not purchased Products from Flextronics for any of the reasons set out in Section 1.3.3(B), (C), (D) or (E), the ICR to be delivered shall be calculated as if the Total Revenue had not been so reduced.

11.9.3 Implementation of ICR

Incremental Cost Reduction (ICR) will be reflected in the Product price using the Cost Plus, MPLP or PLP Process, as applicable, and not recovered as a lump sum payment (except in the case of a true-up). It is a guaranteed percentage and is not subject to the Threshold Commitment as defined in the MCMSA. If, as determined in an annual true-up process, the

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

annual guarantee is not achieved by means of the product pricing at the end of Years 2 and 3 respectively, Flextronics will pay Nortel Networks the amount of the shortfall as a lump-sum payment. The Baseline (as defined below) at the end of Years 2 and 3 will be set to include the guaranteed ICR; provided that the Baseline at the end of Year 3 will be for planning purposes only for Year 4 and prices for Year 4 will be set according to market conditions.

ICR is an “in-year” amount calculated by applying the Committed ICR % to the applicable year’s Total Revenue over a twelve month period. The “Baseline” is the Total Revenue determined by Flextronics and Nortel Networks as of a certain date. The Year One Baseline will be the Total Revenue for Year One assuming that all Transferred Business has been transferred as of the Commencement Date. [•]

Cost reduction, including ICR, which exceed the agreed upon level will be subject to the cost sharing provisions set out in Exhibit 17-1; provided, however, that Flextronics shall be entitled to retain 100% of any ICRs, which exceed the total in-year ICR Commitment applicable to Year 2. Any ICR achieved as of the end of Year 3 that is greater than the ICR Commitment will be treated as OCR.

11.9.4

Year 4 Cost Reduction

In Year 4 all cost reduction will be managed using the Cost Plus, MPLP or PLP Process, as applicable, to OCR [•].

11.9.5

Adjustments to ICR Commitment

		The Parties acknowledge that Nortel Networks support and cooperation affect Flextronics’s ability to actually achieve ICRs and the Flextronics vertical integration target set out in Section 4.13.

		If the failure of Nortel Networks to fulfill its obligations under Section 4.13 with respect to such target adversely impacts Flextronics’s ability to actually achieve the ICR Commitment, then Flextronics may be relieved of its obligation with regard to the affected portion of the ICR Commitment.

		Flextronics shall notify Nortel Networks if it determines that there has been such an adverse impact and provide competent evidence to support Flextronics’s determination. If Nortel Networks does not fulfill its applicable obligations within 45 days after receipt of Flextronics’s notice or otherwise accepts Flextronics’s determination, the ICR Primes will resolve the matter and, if they are unable to do so, the Parties shall follow the Issue Escalation and Dispute Resolution Process.

CONTINUITY

12.1

Business Continuity Planning

Flextronics shall maintain a business continuity plan for each Site to be put into effect if a Site becomes unable to produce Products for any reason, including Force Majeure, for a period of more than five (5) days (“Business Continuity Plan”). Flextronics’s goal is to be able to continue to produce Products in accordance with the time schedules required under this Agreement.

The Business Continuity Plan shall contain, at a minimum, (a) a risk assessment and business impact analysis, (b) a prevention/mitigation plan, and (c) a resumption of Services plan, including a recovery/restoration plan. The preceding will cover, but not be limited to, provisions for documentation storage (product, process, fixture, tools), information systems technology redundancy, a demonstration of Flextronics’s capability to recover in an emergency if one of its own manufacturing facilities or processes becomes unable to produce Products and if one of its component suppliers or subcontractors experiences such an emergency.

At Nortel Networks’ request and at no additional charge to Nortel Networks, Flextronics will participate in any commercially reasonable tests implemented by Nortel Networks or discussions initiated by Nortel Networks for purposes of evaluating and coordinating and integrating the business continuity plans of its suppliers with Nortel Networks’ overall business continuity plan, in so much as current manufacturing activities and associated On Time Delivery metrics are not impacted by said test. As reasonably requested by Nortel Networks during the Term, Flextronics will adjust the BCP to better conform to and integrate with Nortel Networks’ business continuity plan, on terms to be mutually agreed to by the Parties.

Throughout the Amended Term, Flextronics shall provide a copy of any changes in the Business Continuity Plan to NNL within ten (10) days of any such change. A period of Force Majeure or other event causing inability to produce Products shall be deemed to commence on the date that the event of Force Majeure or other such event first occurs.

NNL and Flextronics shall review Flextronics’s Business Continuity Plan annually.

Epidemic Condition

13.4.1 Procedure for Epidemic Condition

If a Product shows evidence of an Epidemic Condition, each Party shall notify the other Party within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of such Epidemic Condition. Nortel Networks may also notify Flextronics of such a condition throughout the life of the Product. Upon notification to Flextronics of the Epidemic Condition, Nortel Networks shall have the right, pending correction of the Epidemic Condition as provided herein, to postpone further shipments of such Product evidencing the Epidemic Condition, by giving notice of such postponement to Flextronics. Until such Epidemic Condition is corrected, such postponement shall relieve Flextronics of its shipment liability for such Products and relieve Nortel Networks of all obligations relating to such Product except its obligation to respond or work within the ECO procedure. Both Parties shall work together to prepare and propose a corrective action plan with respect to such Product, addressing implementation and procedure milestones for remedying such Epidemic Condition(s). Both parties shall co-operate with one another and use their best efforts to identify and implement an agreed upon plan to remedy the Epidemic Condition.

13.4.2 Remedies for Epidemic Condition

Nortel Networks shall pay the costs of implementing the remedy on Products to the extent that the Epidemic Condition results from (a) Materials that were transferred as part of finished goods, work-in process or as Inventory on hand as of the applicable VSHA Effective Date or (b) Flextronics’s compliance with the Specifications or defects in NC components. Flextronics

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL

The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the costs associated with the recovery plan without compromising Nortel Networks’ ability to aggressively respond to Customer needs.

		Subject to the determination of liability as set out in the foregoing, Flextronics shall:

	(a)		Incorporate the remedy in the affected Products in accordance with Nortel Networks’ ECO procedures;
	(b)		Subsequently ship only Products incorporating the required modification correcting the Epidemic Condition;
	(c)		Rework, repair and/or replace any Product that has not been recalled but shows evidence of the Epidemic Condition, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibits 11 and 12, respectively;
	(d)		Refund or credit, at Flextronics’s discretion, to Nortel Networks the Price for such Products included in Systems that Nortel Networks, in its discretion, has recalled because of the Epidemic Condition;
	(e)		At Nortel Networks’ option, reimburse Nortel Networks for all costs associated with the repair or replacement of Products for Nortel Networks, its distributors and end users;
	(f)		Accept the immediate return of all units of affected Products that Nortel Networks has in stock and replace such Products with updated units in order to facilitate the replacement of such Products;
	(g)		Reimburse Nortel Networks for all field costs, which are reasonable with respect to applicable industry standards and taking into consideration Customer expectations, associated with the Epidemic Condition that Nortel Networks incurs in accordance with the agreed recovery plan;

		Flextronics’s obligations for Epidemic Condition relating to a Product unit shall continue for a period of [•] after the shipment of such Product Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Products not related to the Transferred Business only, [•]. In the event that a VSHA changes the time period for Flextronics’s obligations for Epidemic Condition with respect to such Material, the time period of [•] shall continue with respect to all other Flextronics’s obligations under this Section 13.

		Where Flextronics has had manufacturing responsibility for the Products effected by the Epidemic Condition, and its liability has arisen from a breach of its warranty obligations pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 and/or to Section 44 of Exhibit 9 Flextronics’s liability shall not exceed [•] USD per occurrence. Where Flextronics has not had manufacturing responsibility for such Products, and its liability has arisen from a breach of its warranty obligations pursuant to Sections 72-75 of Exhibit 9-1 or Sections 65-67 of Exhibits 9-2 or Sections X of Exhibit 9-3,

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

In addition to any other right or remedy available to NNL or any Nortel Company under this Agreement or at law or in equity, if Flextronics breaches any material term of this Agreement or

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

			a Purchase Order and such breach is susceptible of cure but is not corrected within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of written notice thereof by Nortel Networks to Flextronics if Flextronics defaults in any payment to Nortel Networks and within thirty (30) days after the date of notice of the breach to Flextronics, NNL may terminate this Agreement and any Nortel Company may terminate any Virtual Systems House Agreement and the terms of this Agreement applicable thereto and/or any Purchase Order. For greater certainty, if any Blanket Purchase Order is terminated, all Demand Pull Orders, Kanban Triggers and Online System Orders relating thereto shall be deemed to be concurrently terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Nortel Networks and any Nortel Company shall have the same rights and remedies without the requirement to wait for thirty (30) days for cure if the breach by any Flextronics Company relates to Nortel Company Proprietary Information under Section 14 or Section 23 hereof and such breach is not susceptible of cure; and (ii) Flextronics and any Flextronics Company shall have the same rights and remedies without the requirement to wait for thirty (30) days for cure if the breach by any Nortel Company relates to Flextronics Company Proprietary Information under Section 14 or Section 23 hereof and such breach is not susceptible of cure.
	(b)		Regardless of the excuse of Force Majeure, if a Party is not able to perform within ninety (90) days after such event which constitutes Force Majeure, the other Party may terminate the relevant Virtual Systems House Agreement in accordance with this Section 25.2 provided such Party purporting to terminate is not otherwise in default of any of its material obligations under this Agreement. Such termination of a Virtual Systems House Agreement shall not release or diminish any other obligations of any Party hereunder under any other Virtual Systems House Agreement and the applicable provisions of this Agreement thereto.
	(c)		If any Flextronics Company shall be declared insolvent or bankrupt, or if any assignment of its property shall be made for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, or if its interest herein shall be levied upon under execution or seized by virtue of any writ of any court, or if a petition for assignment for the benefit of creditor is filed in a court is filed by a Flextronics Company to declare any Flextronics Company bankrupt, or if a petition is filed by any person other than a Flextronics Company in any court to declare any Flextronics Company bankrupt which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of the filing of such petition, or if a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or receiver-manager or similar officer is appointed for or in respect of any Flextronics Company or its assets, then NNL may terminate this Agreement and/or any Purchase Order and any Nortel Company which constitutes part of Nortel Networks may terminate any Virtual Systems House Agreement and the terms of this Agreement applicable thereto and/or any Purchase Order, at its option, and without charge, and shall thereupon be free from all liability and obligations thereunder except as specifically provided in Section 25.1(c), all subject to applicable bankruptcy and insolvency legislation which may otherwise provide. For greater certainty, if any Blanket Purchase Order is terminated, all Demand Pull Orders, Kanban Triggers and Online System Orders relating thereto shall be deemed to be concurrently terminated.
	(d)		Flextronics may terminate a Purchase Order only if the Nortel Company which issued the Purchase Order is in material breach of a term, including, without limitation, any payment

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

			obligation of a VSHA or this Agreement or a Purchase Order, and such breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of written notice thereof by Flextronics to Nortel Company defaults in any payment to Flextronics and for any other breach within thirty (30) days after the date of Flextronics ‘s written notice thereof to the applicable Nortel Company in respect of the particular breach, provided that Flextronics has sent a copy of such notice to NNL. The failure of Nortel Networks to pay to Flextronics in a timely manner any moneys in dispute shall not constitute a material breach hereof.
	(e)		The Parties agree that the provisions of Exhibit 23 shall apply with respect to those employees in the United Kingdom or European Union countries who were employed by Nortel Networks prior to the VSHA Effective Date applicable to Monkstown and Chateaudun System Houses, respectively, and were transferred to Flextronics pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement.

26.7

Independent Contractor

This Agreement shall not constitute Flextronics the agent or legal representative of Nortel Networks for any purpose and Flextronics shall not hold itself out as an agent of Nortel Networks other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. This Agreement creates no relationship of joint venturers, partners, associates, employment or principal and agent between the Parties, and both Parties are acting as independent contractors. Neither Party shall have the right to exercise any control or direction over the operations, activities, employees or agents of the other Party in connection with this Agreement. Other than as expressly permitted or provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Flextronics is not granted any right or authority to, and shall not attempt to, assume or create any obligation or responsibility for or on behalf of any Nortel Company or Affiliate. Flextronics shall have no authority to bind any Nortel Company or Affiliate to any contract, whether of employment or otherwise, and Flextronics shall bear all of its own expenses for its operations, including the compensation of its employees, contractors, representatives and agents and the maintenance of its offices, service, warehouse and transportation facilities.

26.8

Non-Solicitation of Employees

For the purposes of this Section, “Actively Solicit” shall mean to engage in recruitment activity (a) by a Flextronics Company which specifically targets any employees of any Nortel Company (“Nortel Company Personnel”) for the purpose of recruiting such Nortel Company Personnel for Engagement (as

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

defined in the second paragraph of this Section 26.8); or (b) by a Nortel Company which specifically targets any employees of any Flextronics Company (“Flextronics Company Personnel”) for the purpose of recruiting any Flextronics Company Personnel for Engagement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Actively Solicit” shall not include generalized employment searches, by advertisements, engaging firms to conduct searches or otherwise, as long as such searches are not focused on Nortel Company Personnel or Flextronics Company Personnel. “Engagement” means engagement to supply services, whether as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, or otherwise.

During the Amended Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter: (a) Flextronics, and each Flextronics Company, shall not directly or indirectly Actively Solicit or hire Nortel Company Personnel for Engagement with a Flextronics Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates, or with customers of any Flextronics Company or those of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates; and (b) Nortel Networks, and each Nortel Company, shall not directly or indirectly Actively Solicit or hire Flextronics Company Personnel for Engagement with Nortel Networks for Engagement with such Nortel Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates, or with customers of any Nortel Company or those of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates, provided that this paragraph shall not apply to Transferring Employees in respect of which Nortel Networks is subject to non-solicitation provisions under the Asset Purchase Agreement which shall have precedence with respect to such Transferring Employees. In no event shall the foregoing be construed to prevent Flextronics from hiring Nortel Company Personnel if such hiring is not a result of Flextronics’s efforts to Actively Solicit.

26.9

Flextronics Responsible for its Contractors

FTS may subcontract Services or the Production Effort to any FTS Affiliate. Any FTS Affiliate may also subcontract Services or Production Effort to any non-FTS Affiliate only with Nortel Networks’ prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in Nortel Networks’ sole discretion. The approval by Nortel Networks of any non-FTS Affiliate subcontractor chosen by Flextronics shall in no way be construed to relieve Flextronics of any of its duties, responsibilities and obligations to Nortel Networks under this Agreement.

26.10

Assignment

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any license or rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be assignable or otherwise transferable whether by merger, operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any change of control in fact of a Party shall be deemed to constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Section.

Subject to the condition that Flextronics is satisfied, upon reasonable evidence, that such future assignee possesses sufficient creditworthiness and future assignee has accepted the assignment without reservation, NNL may assign this Agreement or any portion thereof (i) to any of NNL’s Subsidiaries or company of which NNL becomes a Subsidiary; or (ii) to a person or entity into which it has merged or which has otherwise succeeded to all or substantially all of its business and assets to which this Agreement pertains, by purchase of stock, assets, merger, reorganization or otherwise, and which has

AMENDED & RESTATED MCMSA — FINAL
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

assumed in writing or by operation of law its obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be void. In any assignment in case (ii) above, the person or entity into which NNL has merged or which has otherwise succeeded to all or substantially all of NNL’s business and assets, shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Flextronics Parent agrees to give NNL, to the extent legally permissible, notice of the direct or indirect acquisition by any entity of (1) shares in the capital of Flextronics Parent or of any Subsidiary of Flextronics Parent who is a party to any Virtual Systems House Agreement, if rights sufficient to elect a majority of the board of directors of such entity (pursuant to a shareholders agreement or otherwise) are attached to such shares or such Subsidiary of Flextronics ceases to be a Subsidiary of Flextronics Parent, or (2) substantially all of the assets of Flextronics Parent or of such Subsidiary of Flextronics Parent.

26.11

Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any competent authority in any jurisdiction, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any manner affect or render illegal, invalid or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction, and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced for the purposes of the jurisdiction in which it is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable with an enforceable clause which most closely achieves the result intended by the invalid provision.

26.12

Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, interpretation and performance of this Agreement, the rights and obligations arising hereunder and any purchase made hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without reference to the UNCITRAL Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law, rules or provisions (whether of such Province or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the Province of Ontario shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of Law or conflict of Law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES, WHETHER IT RESULTS IN PROCEEDINGS IN ANY COURT IN ANY JURISDICTION OR IN ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND HAVING HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL MATTERS SHALL BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR ARBITRATOR WITHOUT A JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
