conformance to ongoing quality control standards as may be established in
the Specifications, PQA Procedure, and other standard industry practices
and procedures.
10.2 Acceptance Inspection and Acceptance Testing. All Products and
Parts shall be subject to acceptance inspection and testing by AT&T, [*],

10.3 Facility Surveys. Following reasonable notice to Seller, AT&T
reserves the right to review, during regular business hours, Seller's
physical facilities and Seller's quality control procedures, both prior to
first Product deliveries and periodically thereafter, in order to assure
compliance with the Specifications, PQA Procedure, and other standard
industry practices and procedures. Seller shall maintain quality control
procedures mutually agreed upon by AT&T and Seller as a result of such
facility survey. In the event that AT&T determines in good faith, during
any facilities survey, that Sellers procedure is insufficient to insure
consistent acceptable quality, AT&T shall so advise Seller, specifying the
deficiency AT&T believes exists and reasonable proposals for correction.
Seller shall fully correct any deficiency [*]; provided, however, that if
any deficiency would be considered "material" under any applicable ISO
standard to which AT&T is certified, Seller shall correct that deficiency
[*] to at least the extent necessary to reduce the deficiency to a level of

deficiency [*]. Failure to correct any deficiency within these time periods

then-outstanding Purchase Orders for Products and Parts without liability
or consequence.
10.4 Acceptance Testing Results. AT&T shall provide notification to
Seller upon completion of acceptance testing setting forth the specific
date of acceptance or rejection of each Product and Part included in the
notification. If any Product or Part is rejected, Seller shall thereafter
proceed forthwith to correct the defects indicated by AT&T, either by
repairing the defective Product or Part at the point of delivery or within
Seller's facility, if possible, or by supplying a new Product or Part. The
cost associated with any such repair or replacement, including
transportation charges for return to Seller and subsequent return to AT&T,
shall be borne by Seller. Products and Parts for which acceptance tests are
not completed within the time set forth in Exhibit A for that Product or
Part after arrival at AT&T's delivery destination shall be deemed to have
been accepted by AT&T as of such time.
10.5 Failure to Meet Minimum Standards. If, during either
qualification or acceptance testing, AT&T determines that any Product is
not materially defect-free or cannot comply with minimum quality standards
of the PQA Procedure or as otherwise established between the parties'

to that Product at AT&T's option and AT&T may cancel without liability or
consequence any Purchase Order for that Product previously issued.

locations selected by AT&T, and at no charge to AT&T, technically competent
personnel of Seller to assist in the identification and resolution of any

installation of a Product. Seller shall also provide, at AT&T's request,
any performance information available from any source which could aid AT&T
in evaluation of Product performance.

10.7 No Waiver of Warranty. In no event shall the inspection,
qualification, and acceptance of any Product or Part pursuant to Section 9
or this Section 10, or the payment for any such Product or Part by AT&T, in
any way impair or reduce AT&T's rights under the warranty of Section 12 of
this Agreement, or AT&T's rights to further inspection or testing.
10.8 No Manufacturing License. Termination of this Agreement by AT&T
under any of the paragraphs of Section 9 or this Section 10, for failure of
a Product to pass testing or inspection, shall not give rise to or
otherwise be considered a cause entitling AT&T to a manufacturing license
of that Product under this Agreement.
10.9 AT&T shall provide no notice of default for deficiency under
Section 10.3 for [*] from the Closing Date. AT&T may provide notices of
deficiency prior to closing.

change, all Products and Parts shipped by Seller shall conform to such
changed Specifications, except that Seller shall continue to make
available, for the period specified in Section 5.4, Parts under all
previous Specifications unless change to the Part does not affect its

shall not be deemed to be a change in the Specifications.
11.2 AT&T Channels. AT&T may propose changes to the Specifications
and, in such event, Seller shall consider the feasibility of any such
proposal. Seller shall, within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed

engineering or any other change by Seller, that Products or Parts do not
operate in accordance with the Specifications or fail to meet the
Acceptance Test Procedure of Section 9, and upon AT&T's request, Seller
shall promptly evaluate any defective Product or Part and shall notify AT&T
of the result of its evaluation and its corrective action plan, if needed,

interchangeable with each previous version. All Products thereafter
delivered by Seller shall be promptly identified to AT&T by serial number
so as to reflect which version Part may be used therein.

expense, either promptly repair or replace non-complying Products or Parts
or shall pay AT&T its costs of remedying such non-compliance (provided that
AT&T shall have sought Seller's prior written consent, which shall not

15.0 Confidentiality.
15.1 Non-Confidentiality Preferred. We agree that it is preferable to
conduct business under this Agreement on a non-confidential basis and agree
to do so to the maximum extent possible. If it becomes necessary for us to
exchange any confidential information, then, unless we otherwise agree in
writing, the exchange of such information shall be governed by the balance
of this Section 15.
15.2 Information Received. Each party shall use reasonable efforts,
to the extent it does with respect to its own proprietary and confidential
information of like nature, to prevent any of the other party's proprietary
and confidential information which it receives under the scope of this
Agreement in written form and designated "CONFIDENTIAL" from being
disclosed to third parties.
15.3 No Obligation. Section 15.2 shall not apply and the receiving
party shall have no obligation with respect to any information which:
(1) is or becomes public knowledge through no wrongful act of the
receiving party;
(2) is already known to the receiving party;
(3) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from any third
party without similar restriction and without breach of any obligation
owed to the disclosing party;
(4) is independently developed by the receiving party;
(5) is furnished to a third party by the disclosing party without a
similar restriction on the third party's rights;
(6) is incorporated in a machine or apparatus (including a Product)
which has been placed on sale;
(7) is disclosed pursuant to a lawful requirement or request of a
governmental agency;
(8) is disclosed to the extent necessary to fulfill the business
obligations of the receiving party to customers who are purchasers or
lessees of a Product; or
(9) is approved for release by written authorization of the
disclosing party.
15.4 Third Party Contractors. Notwithstanding the restrictions of
Section 15.2, AT&T shall be entitled to provide confidential information of
Seller on a need-to-know basis to Affiliates who have executed a written
obligation of confidentiality conforming to that of this Section 15.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may from time to time identify to
AT&T certain Affiliates to whom it does not wish Seller confidential
information disclosed without prior notice from AT&T. From the date of
receipt of Seller's notice, AT&T will use its Best Efforts to avoid
disclosure to those Affiliates without first obtaining Seller's consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10
15.5 Survival. The obligations of the parties arising under this
Section 15 shall survive for a period of [*] following the term or any
termination of this Agreement.
16.0 Indemnification for Infringement.
16.1 Current Products. AT&T understands and agrees that Seller
provides no indemnification for intellectual property claims arising from
AT&T's purchase, use, or resale of Products included on Exhibit A as of the
Closing Date, or which fall within the scope of the indemnification
provisions of Article 9 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Seller agrees
that it will promptly notify AT&T if it becomes aware of any claim or
threatened claim that any such Product infringes the intellectual property
rights of a Third Party, and will render any reasonable assistance that
AT&T may request in investigating or defending such a claim.
16.2 Future Products. With respect to Products which may be added to
Exhibit A after the Closing Date, Seller undertakes and agrees that, upon
being notified promptly and given authority, information, and offered
assistance, Seller will promptly investigate and defend, at its own
expense, all claims, allegations, suits, actions, or proceedings in which
AT&T or its Affiliates, agents, distributors or customers, are made
defendants or claimed potential defendants for any infringement, claimed
infringement, or alleged inducement of infringement, or unauthorized, or
unlawful use of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, mask work,
proprietary data, or other information, resulting from the sale, use, lease
or other disposition of any Product or Part purchased from Seller under
this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 16.2
shall not apply to any claim, allegation, suit or proceeding that falls
within the scope of the indemnification provisions of Article 9 of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement. Seller further agrees to pay and discharge any
and all judgments or decrees which may be rendered in any such suits or
proceedings against any such defendants. Seller shall have the right to
settle any such suits, actions, or proceedings on terms and conditions of
Seller's own selection, provided they are not in conflict with the terms
and conditions provided herein. In the event Seller fails to promptly
investigate and defend or settle as provided hereinabove, then AT&T shall,
following notification to Seller, have the right from that time forward to
have sole control of the defense of such claim, allegation, suit, action,
or proceeding and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, and
Seller agrees to pay, as they become due, all of the costs, expenses, and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by AT&T and judgments or decrees which
may be rendered against AT&T or such defendants in providing the services
that Seller has failed to provide. This indemnity does not extend to any
suit or proceeding which is based upon a patent claim covering a
combination of which the Product or Part purchased under this Agreement is
merely an element of the claim combined with other devices or elements not
provided by Seller, unless Seller is a contributory infringer, nor does it
extend to any Product or Part whose infringement is a direct result of
Seller being required to adhere to a specific design provided by AT&T and
not originating with Seller.
16.3 Survival. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the
term and any termination of this Agreement.
17.0 Identification of Product and Absence of Restrictions.
17.1 Identification. Any and all Products purchased from Seller under
this Agreement may be marketed under any AT&T or Affiliate's trademark or
any product name selected by AT&T, and Seller shall affix, when so
requested by AT&T, such trademark or name, and serial numbers or nameplates
as AT&T shall specify. The Product, in all AT&T advertising literature and
elsewhere, may be referred to by AT&T as an AT&T product. All shipping
containers shall bear the AT&T logo, Purchase Order number, class and
serial number of the Product and all other information or markings desired
by AT&T or required by law.
17.2 Absence of Restrictions. Except as may be required pursuant to
any applicable export control law or regulation, AT&T sing not be
restricted as to its sale or use of Products purchased hereunder including,
without limitation, worldwide marketing to any end user or remarketer, and
use by AT&T for the benefit of others. Further, this Agreement shall not be
construed as preventing AT&T from acquiring
11
at any time products similar or related to the Products from any other
source, including, without limitation, purchase from any third party vendor
or manufacturer by AT&T.
18.0 Term and Termination.
18.1 Term. This Agreement shall continue for an initial term of [*]
from its effective date and shall be automatically renewed for [*]
thereafter, unless notice of termination is given by one party to the other
at least [*] prior to the termination date of the initial term or of any
[*] renewal term, or unless earlier terminated under any other provision of
this Agreement.
18.2 Termination for Default. Either party may terminate this
Agreement upon [*] prior written notice to the other party for failure of
such other party to fulfill any of its material obligations hereunder,
including failure due to causes specified in Sections 24.1 and 24.2;
provided, however, if during the period of such notice the other party
shall have remedied such failure, this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect as it would have had such failure not occurred. In the
event of termination under this paragraph, the terminating party shall be
entitled to return of any amounts paid in anticipation of performance not
rendered by the other party. In the event of termination under this Section
by Seller for AT&T's default, AT&T shall, upon Seller's written request,
buy under any AT&T Purchase Order then outstanding all completed Products
in Seller's possession as of the date of termination, at the per unit
price(s) set forth on such Purchase Order, provided that AT&T shall have
all rights of inspection, acceptance, and warranty provided by this
Agreement with respect to such Products.
18.3 Termination for Other Reasons. This Agreement shall terminate
forthwith, at the option of either party by notice in writing to the other
party, upon the other party ceasing to carry on its business or in the
event the other party becomes the subject of any proceedings under state or
federal law for the relief of debtors or otherwise becomes insolvent,
bankrupt, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon the
appointment of a receiver for the other party, or its reorganization for
the benefit of creditors.
19.0 Rights After Termination.
19.1 Other Remedies. Termination of this Agreement by either party
shall not prejudice it or the other party to recover any money amounts or
require performance of any obligations due at the time of such termination.
19.2 Completed Products. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by AT&T under Section 18.2, Seller shall, at AT&T's option, pass
title and deliver to AT&T completed Products in its possession meeting the
Specifications, provided AT&T pays a reasonable price not to exceed the
price which would have applied if Seller had delivered those Products
according to the terms of purchase hereunder and at the then current price
established in Exhibit B. AT&T shall also have the option to purchase raw
materials and/or work-in-process attributable to the Products or Parts.
19.3 Purchase Orders Canceled. In the event of any termination of
this Agreement under Sections 8.2, 9.2, 10.3, 10.5, or 18.2 (if termination
is due to Seller's breach), all outstanding Purchase Orders for Products
and Parts previously issued by AT&T under this Agreement shall be
automatically and immediately canceled without penalty, notwithstanding any
firm order period, cancellation penalty or maximum cancellation requirement
stated under this Agreement.
19.4 Manufacturing License Not Affected. Termination of this
Agreement by either Seller or AT&T under Section 18.2 or by AT&T under
Section 18.3 shall not prejudice or otherwise affect any Manufacturing
License to which AT&T is or may become, entitled.
20.0 Manufacturing License.
20.1 Scope. This Section 20 shall only apply to the extent that AT&T
does not independently possess all rights necessary to manufacture the
Product(s) in question.
20.2 Manufacturing License for Cause. In the event this Agreement is
terminated by AT&T pursuant to Sections 18.2 or 18.3, or if Seller is, for
any reason including discontinuation, unable to supply
12
AT&T with AT&T's "reasonable requirements" of any Product ordered by AT&T
under the terms of this Agreement, AT&T may require Seller to grant to AT&T
an irrevocable, non-exclusive, [*] worldwide right and license under Seller
Intellectual Property Rights and any other manufacturing or other rights of
Seller necessary for AT&T to manufacture or have manufactured that Product
and its Parts. Seller shall, under such circumstances and at such time,
furnish to AT&T without cost all necessary assistance as will permit AT&T
to commence manufacture of the Product(s) and Parts including, but not
limited to, providing a complete documentation package of all Seller
Know-How along with a reasonable amount of Seller Technical Assistance.
[*]. For purposes of this Section 20.2, Seller shall be deemed unable to
supply AT&T's "reasonable requirements" only if:
(1) Seller fails to deliver the full quantity of any Product
ordered by AT&T for any [*], and
(2) [*]
[*]
21.0 License of Software.
21.1 As to software which may be provided under this Agreement
(either separately or with a Product) and which is not fully licensed to
AT&T pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement or its ancillary
agreements, Seller hereby grants to AT&T (under Seller's or its suppliers
sublicensed patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights
relating to that software) a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license to resell or reproduce copies of the software in
object code format only, onto a floppy disk or the hard disk of a system,
one copy per system, and to distribute such copies to AT&T's customers. If
the software package includes a "break the seal" license agreement in the
package containing the software, AT&T may transfer the package to its
customer without altering the package or its contents and the license
agreement will be between Seller and the customer. If the software does not
contain a "break the seal" license agreement or if AT&T opens the package
for installation of the Software prior to resale, AT&T will license the
software to its customers pursuant to its standard terms and conditions.
21.2 Seller grants to AT&T a world-wide non-exclusive license to use
Seller's trademarks and tradenames on or in connection with the software
copies made under this license. No other rights to the software are granted
by Seller to AT&T under this Agreement. Appropriate copyright notices will
be placed on the software documentation and will be embedded in the
software code and such notices will be retained on any copies made by AT&T.
Both parties agree to take such reasonable steps as may be necessary to
preserve copyrights to the software and software documentation.
22.0 Assignment.
22.1 No Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or
obligations it governs may be assigned or delegated by either party without
the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, except that either party may assign or delegate
this Agreement to any Affiliate without the other's consent.
22.2 Successor. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to which either
party directly or indirectly transfers all or a substantial part of its
business and assets pertaining to the Products, whether by merger, sale of
assets, sale of stock or otherwise. Upon request of the other party the
party making such a transfer shall assign this Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder and obtain from the assignee, in a form satisfactory
to counsel for the other party, an acceptance of such assignment and an
assumption of all of the assignor party's obligations under this Agreement.

herein, notices and other communications by a party under this Agreement shall

24.0 New Technology or Product and Discontinuation of Production.
24.1 Replacement Products. Should Seller acquire or develop a type of
product which is like the Product, or performs a similar function, or would
obsolete the Product due to new technology (a "Replacement Product"),
Seller shall give AT&T notice at least equal to the normal purchase
lead-time prior to the initial shipping date for that Replacement Product
and furnish to AT&T the specifications and other pertinent description
thereof and, at the request of AT&T, arrange an engineering evaluation of
such product immediately upon a working model of it becoming available. At
its option, AT&T may elect to substitute such Replacement Product for the
Product under this Agreement or add such it to this Agreement, at a price
mutually agreeable between the parties. Such Replacement Product shall
thereafter be considered the Product under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement as if initially included hereunder. However, upon a substitution
of such Replacement Product, Seller shall continue to make Parts available
for the original Product under this Agreement, as required under Section
5.4.
24.2 Discontinuation of Production. In addition to any other notices
that may be required in connection with termination of this Agreement by
Seller, Seller shall provide notice of either at least [*] for Committed
Products or [*] for Optional Products (plus the lead time specified in
Exhibit B) prior to the discontinuation of production of a Product. The
amount of notice per Product is specified in Exhibit B. If Seller ceases
production or acquisition of a Product, during the notice period, AT&T may,
at its option, provide Seller with a reasonable forecast of ongoing
requirements of Product for the remainder of the notice period. This
Product availability requirement shall survive the term and any termination
of this Agreement.
24.3 New Products. The parties contemplate that as Seller develops new
RAID or SCSI products, they will be offered for sale to AT&T as Products
under this Agreement. If any such product is made generally available for
sale by Seller, Seller will promptly notify AT&T and, at AT&T's sole
option, the parties will negotiate in good faith the price and other terms
for its inclusion as a Product under this Agreement. The parties further
contemplate that AT&T may request Seller to develop new Products. The
parties agree to work together to develop processes and procedures for
effective communication and management of the product development process.
24.4 The parties agree to have [*] storage technology meetings in
which, under non-disclosure, future product strategies (that are
contractually disclosable) will be discussed.
14
25.0 Software Source Code.
25.1 Seller agrees that it will at all times maintain a complete
package of source code or programs, statements, and software documentation
(the "Documentation Package") corresponding to the software which AT&T does
not have in its possession. Seller further agrees to maintain the
aforementioned source programs, statements, and documentation current by
updating the Documentation Package to include any modifications,
improvements, enhancements or replacement programs within [*] after their
availability.
25.2 In the event that Seller ceases to carry on business on a regular
basis, or fails or is unable to maintain any software licensed under this
Agreement for any reason for a period of [*], Seller will deliver the
Documentation Package(s) to AT&T. Delivery of the deposited materials will
be made to AT&T after written request by AT&T, stating the grounds upon
which the request is made. Once the deposited materials have been delivered
to AT&T, AT&T will have the non-exclusive right to use the materials, [*],
to maintain the software and software documentation for its present
customer base. If Seller disagrees with AT&T's determination that the
Documentation Package should be delivered, the matter will be submitted for
dispute resolution in accordance with Section 9.7 of the Purchase and Sale
Agreement, provided; however, that (a) the "Senior Executives" identified
in Section 9.7(b) will be senior members of the Seller's OEM sales
business, and the Buyer's supply line management or purchasing
organizations; (b) the time period specified in Section 9.7(c) will apply;
and (c) the parties shall request hearing pursuant to the AAA's rules for
expedited hearing.
25.3 In the event that AT&T reasonably believes that Seller will
either cease carrying on business on a regular basis, or fail to provide
software support as required by this Agreement, then AT&T may request, and
Seller will agree, to negotiate in good faith the terms of an escrow
agreement governing the Documentation Package(s).
26.0 Miscellaneous.
26.1 Excused Performance. Neither party shall be liable for damages
because of delays in or failure of performance required under this
Agreement when such delay or failure is due to acts of God, acts of civil
or military authority, fire, flood, strikes, war, epidemics, shortage of
power, or other cause beyond such party's reasonable control and without
its fault or negligence, provided that such party (a) uses best efforts to
promptly notify the other in advance of conditions which will result in any
such delay in or failure of performance, (b) uses best efforts to avoid or
remove such conditions, and (c) immediately continues performance whenever
such conditions are removed.
26.2 Curtailed Production. In the event that Seller's overall
production of Products is curtailed for any reason, Seller will ship AT&T a
percentage of its Orders for Products and Parts at least equivalent to that
shipped for similar products to any other customer. Acceptance by AT&T of
such percentage of its Orders shall not operate as a waiver of any rights
or remedies which AT&T shall have as a result of Seller's failure to ship
all Products and Parts under such Orders.
26.3 Parties Bound. All rights granted to either party in this
Agreement may be exercised by any Affiliate agreeing to be bound by this
Agreement.

contain the entire Agreement between the parties and may not be altered,
amended or modified, except by formal agreement in writing signed by duly
authorized representatives of both parties. Purchase Orders, Purchase Order
acknowledgments, acceptance forms, and other printed documents shall not
constitute an alteration, amendment or modification, even if acknowledged
by the party sought to be bound.
26.5 Waiver or Delay. Any waiver or delay in the exercise by either
party hereto of its right to terminate hereunder or to enforce any
provision of this Agreement for any breach by the other party shall not
prejudice such party's right of termination or enforcement for any further,
continuing or other breach by the other party.
15
26.6 Severability. In the event that any provision contained in this
Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid or unenforceable in
any respect under the laws of any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of
this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.
26.7 Arbitration and Governing Law. Any controversy or claim, whether
based on contract, tort or other legal theory (including but not limited to
any claim of fraud or misrepresentation), arising out of or related to this
Agreement, or any subsequent agreement between the parties, shall be
resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Purchase and Sale
Agreement.
26.8 Headings. The Section headings within this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall neither be considered a part of, nor affect the
construction or interpretation of, any provision of this Agreement.
26.9 Toxic Materials. Nothing used in the manufacture of the Products
and/or Parts covered by this Agreement shall contain Polychlorinated
Biphenyl (PCB) or Cadmium.
26.10 Duty Drawback. AT&T shall be entitled to claim duty drawback on
Products and Parts exported by or for AT&T. Seller shall submit, with each
shipment of Products and Parts containing imported components, a

drawback for Products and Parts.

first delivery of any Product and Part hereunder, a certificate of origin
stating the country of origin for such Product or Part. If the country of
origin for any Product or Part should change, Seller shall provide a new
certificate of origin prior to the first delivery of any Product or Part
affected by such change.
26.12 Compliance with Laws. Seller shall, in the manufacture and sale
of the Products and Parts to AT&T, and in all other performance under the
provisions of this Agreement, fully comply with all applicable federal,
state, local and other governmental laws and regulations.
26.13 Personal Warranties. Seller and AT&T represent and warrant to
each other that each has the right and power to enter into this Agreement.
Seller further warrants that it has not knowingly violated and will not
knowingly violate any patent, copyright, trade secret or other property
rights of any third party with regard to the development and manufacture of
any Product.
26.14 Relationship of Parties. The relationship of Seller and AT&T as
established under this Agreement shall be and at all times remain one of
independent contractors, and neither party shall at any time or in any way
represent itself as being a dealer, agent or other representative of the
other party or as having authority to assume or create obligations or
otherwise act in any manner on behalf of the other party.
26.15 Periods of Time. In computing any period of time under this
Agreement where a specified number of days are required or permitted for
notice, response, or other action on the part of either party, Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays shall be included in such period of time.
26.16 Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL
EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTY
HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES.
26.17 Precedence. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement
and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail.

BETWEEN
LSI LOGIC STORAGE SYSTEMS, INC. ("LSI") AND XXX XXXXXXXXXXX ("NCR")
This is Amendment A to Amendment One ("Amendment" dated February 15, 1995)
of the OEM Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") dated February 15, 1995 between
Symbios Logic Inc., now known as LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc. ("LSI") and
AT&T Global Information Solutions Company, now known as XXX Xxxxxxxxxxx ("NCR"),
amended by prior amendments executed by the parties, is entered into by the
parties and made effective September 17, 2001, Amendment A to Amendment One
("Effective Date"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed in the Agreement. This Amendment A to Amendment One shall run
co-terminous with the Agreement.
Section 12.1.1 to 12.2.4 of Amendment One is deleted and replaced with the
following:
12.1 General Warranty
12.1.1 Class [*]. (The text of Paragraph 12.1 of the Agreement is
inserted here in its entirety.)
12.1.2 Class [*]. For Products of these types shipped after the
Amendment Effective Date, LSI shall provide a [*] from the date of LSI'
shipment to NCR.
12.1.2.1 Immediately upon notification by NCR, LSI will verify the
warranty entitlement on the system, and for those systems, which are so
verified, will ship the required Part(s) and issue an RMA for the Part(s)
to be returned to LSI. [*]. NCR shall be responsible for returning the
failed Part(s) from the system in the same package or equivalent as the
replacement Part(s) arrive in. LSI may xxxx NCR for any such warranty claim
Part(s) not so returned to LSI within [*] at the applicable rate for NCR.
12.1.2.2 LSI will conduct or subcontract failure analysis on all Parts
returned from NCR.
Section 12.8 of Amendment One is hereby deleted and replaced with the
following:
12.8 Epidemic and Equipment Field Retrofit Orders (FRO). FRO's are required
modifications to installed Products and Parts to meet safety requirements,
correct a known or discovered data corruption design deficiency, or address a
quality issue impacting systems availability in the Field. LSI and NCR can issue
an FRO for any reason. The criteria for determining if labor reimbursement
applies will be mutually agreed upon and revised annually. If a Product or
Part's performance does not conform to the mutually agreed criteria, then LSI
will provide labor reimbursement for the FRO.
In other instances where failure rates do not meet this criteria but the
impact to the end customer merits such treatment, it will be mutually agreed
upon by both parties whether an FRO and NCR's FRO labor cost reimbursement is
required. Methods for data collection and interpretation for FROs will be shared
with and agreed upon by both parties for the FRO to be considered valid.
Either NCR or LSI may request that an FRO be generated. If an FRO is
needed, LSI will provide part numbers, estimated time of process and
instruction. NCR will be responsible for writing the actual FRO. [*]. Payment
will be based on the [*] to repair for each FRO. In the event that NCR and LSI
are unable to agree on the need for a reimbursable FRO, the parties may elect to
resolve the issue through arbitration as set forth in Paragraph 26.7 of the
Agreement.

Exhibit E of the Agreement is hereby deleted.

3.7.1 LSI will loan NCR equipment for various purposes related to this
Agreement (including, but not limited to, evaluation and benchmarking), and
may loan NCR certain related hardware, software, firmware, documentation,
and information for NCR's use with that equipment. The total value of the
equipment permitted to be loaned to NCR is based on [*] ("Loaner Pool
Value"). The value of any additional equipment permitted to be loaned over
and above the Loaner Pool Value shall be calculated at [*]. Such
limitations may be changed at any time upon mutual written agreement of the
parties. Any such change shall not affect loaned equipment in NCR's
possession as of the effective date of such change, which equipment NCR
shall be permitted to continue to use until the expiration of the
applicable loan period. In the event that the total value of the equipment
loaned to NCR is permitted to [*], NCR shall pay to [*] which needs to be
approved by NCR. [*]. Each piece of equipment may be used by NCR for a
period of [*] commencing on the date of shipment by LSI and ending upon the

erosion charges, to the extent that such charges are stated in the
applicable Equipment Request for NCR (of the type marked Exhibit I and

itself and/or by providing LSI a list of customers who will not accept
refurbished systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NCR agrees to accept
all refurbished units which have not been shipped against NCR Orders after
[*] from the date of refurbishment by LSI, and shall be billed at and
agrees to pay full price for such units.

A new paragraph 3.7.4 is added as follows:
3.7.4 The parties agree that when LSI agrees to loan equipment to NCR

Agreement added in the Fifth Amendment to the Agreement, will apply and
that the parties will separately execute an "Equipment Request for LSI" of
the type marked Exhibit J and attached hereto, for all loans by NCR to LSI.
In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the applicable Equipment Request for LSI, the terms and
conditions of the applicable Equipment Request for LSI will apply.

Except as amended by this Eighteenth Amendment, all other terms and
conditions of the Agreement and all prior amendments thereto remain the same.
The Agreement and this Eighteenth Amendment represent the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement of LSI and NCR regarding the subject matter
thereof and hereof, and supersede all prior oral and written agreements,
understandings, and communications about it. The terms of this Eighteenth
Amendment may only be modified in a written document signed by authorized
