11.0 Repair, Logistics and Customer Service Depot Support

11.1 Solectron and Customer will jointly evaluate service and depot options to be provided through a combination of internal capabilities as well as the capabilities of third party service providers. It is Solectron’s intent, once it fully understands Customer’s needs, to offer a program that meets or comes close to offering the services desired by Customer. This is a statement of intent and in no way obligates Solectron to deliver or release any kind of specific service offering. These service offerings may be dependent upon third party arrangements. In the event that these arrangements cannot be finalized, for whatever reason, Solectron may not offer, or may choose to offer a very limited set of optional service offerings. Since these programs are not yet finalized, pricing may not be available at the commencement of this Agreement term. Once a service or depot program is identified, such pricing shall be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties.

11.2 Solectron shall provide serial number data for Customer’s end-user warranty tracking information for all Field Replaceable Units (FRU) and Customer Replaceable Units (CRU) level components listed in Attachment D. Customer will be responsible for calculating and forecasting spare parts requirements.

11.3 Solectron agrees to provide (***) delivery to Customer for any replacement parts or Products required due to either full system or specific components diagnosed as being dead on arrival (“DOA”) at the Customer’s ship-to location. Solectron may use new or like new components and materials for repair or replacement of DOA parts or Products.

11.4 Customer shall (i) notify Solectron of all DOA, defects or breaches of warranty and request a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number, and (ii) within ten (10) days of receipt of the RMA number from Solectron return such rejected Product to Solectron, properly insured. In the event that Solectron determines that the returned Product is defective and properly rejected by Customer, Solectron shall at its option, repair or replace such defective Product, or accept return for credit of such defective Product as specified herein. Solectron shall return to Customer, (***), all repaired or replaced Products properly rejected by Customer. In the event that any rejected Product is determined by Solectron to not be defective, (hereafter “No Defect Found” or NDF), where failures are the result of test gaps between Customer tests and Solectron functional tests or to have been modified or subjected to unusual electrical or physical stress, misuse, abuse, unauthorized repair or otherwise not covered by Solectron’s Warranty, Customer shall (***) Solectron a (***) of (***) per NDF, and return of such Product to Customer. For the (***) month period after Customer ships its first Product, Customer will not be (***) the (***) NDF (***) for (***) of the (***) DOA returns diagnosed NDF.

11.5 If a Product, in fact, conforms to the applicable Product specifications and Test at the time of manufacture and/or other warranties under this Agreement or the failure is due to a test gaps between Customer System Install and Customer Functional Tests conducted by Solectron, Solectron shall return such NDF products to the Customer freight collect. (***) shall be responsible for the NDF (***) set forth in 11.4.

Customer may, from time to time, and (***) Solectron loan certain functional test equipment (“Test Equipment”) to Solectron, solely for the purpose of performing functional tests and repair on the Product. Any such NRE Tooling or Test Equipment shall be listed in each applicable SOW as required. If any such NRE Tooling or Test Equipment requires calibration, upon equipment delivery, the Customer must also deliver recent ISO certified calibration documentation and provide Solectron access to the Customer recalibration process if timeframes require subsequent recalibration. NRE Tooling & Test Equipment shall be included in the term “Customer Material” as herewith used. Solectron shall (i) exercise reasonable care in the use and custody of Customer Material solely for purposes of performing its obligations hereunder, (ii) perform regular maintenance on said Customer Material, if applicable, (***), excluding replacement of parts for which (***) will be (***); provided, however, that (***) will not pay for replacement of parts which are damaged by (***), excluding normal wear and tear, and (iii) repair Customer Material at a reasonable charge, unless such Customer Material was damaged by Solectron, excluding normal wear and tear.

12.4 (***) shall hold Customer Material at (***) risk and shall not modify the Customer Material or use it for any purpose other than in connection with this Agreement without the written permission of Customer. Upon Customer’s request, Solectron shall redeliver the Customer Material to Customer in the same condition as originally received by Solectron with the exception of reasonable wear and tear. In the event the Customer Material is lost, damaged or destroyed, while in Solectron’s possession, Solectron’s liability for the Customer Material is limited to the replacement cost of the Customer Material; provided, however, that, immediately upon Solectron’s discovery thereof, Solectron shall notify Customer of such loss, damage or destruction or of any other information pertaining to such Customer Material which is reasonably likely to impair Solectron’s ability to manufacture Product as required hereby in a timely manner. In the event that Customer requests the return of Customer Material that is necessary for the manufacture of any Product(s) for any reason other than in connection with maintenance and repair, the request for the return (***) be (***) a (***) of (***) for said Product and the provisions of Section 5.0 shall apply thereto.

Solectron South Carolina and Stratus Computer Systems, S.a ▇.▇.

Dated April 14, 2000

This First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Manufacturing Agreement For Build-To-Print Systems (Agreement No.             ) by and between Solectron South Carolina (“Solectron”) and Stratus Technologies International, S.a ▇.▇.

All initially capitalized terms used in the Amendment without definition have the same meaning in this Amendment as in the Agreement.

For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in the Agreement and in this Amendment, Solectron and Customer hereby agree as follows:

(1) Due to a recent re-organization and re-alignment of business operations within the Stratus group of companies, the Agreement is hereby transferred from Stratus S.a ▇.▇. to Stratus Technologies International Ireland (Stratus Ireland) as follows:

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ S.a ▇.▇. hereby assigns to Stratus Ireland all of its rights and delegates to Stratus Ireland all of its duties under the Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Ireland hereby accepts from Stratus S.a ▇.▇. the assignment of rights and delegation of duties under the Agreement and hereby assumes all obligations of Stratus S.a ▇.▇. to observe and agrees to perform all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Agreement, and discharge all liabilities arising thereunder, to be observed and/or performed by Stratus
S.a ▇.▇. under the Agreement.

(4) The renewal language of Section 3 notwithstanding, the parties hereby agree that the Agreement’s term shall be extended through June 16, 2005, unless terminated earlier as provided in the Agreement.

(5) Section 4.1 is hereby changed to read as follows:

“4.1 Customer will provide electronic purchase orders (“Purchase Orders” or “Orders”) using Customer’s Oracle system [fax or hardcopy purchase orders may be also issued by Customer, but this shall be the exception] for Product, at least eight (8) business days in advance of the earliest requested ship date set forth in such Order. Such Orders shall be effective upon acceptance by Solectron. Each Purchase Order will include complete “Invoice to” and “Ship to” addresses; quantity, description and price for each item; this Agreement number; and the ship date, all in accordance with this Agreement. Customer may change the “Invoice to” and “Ship to” addresses set forth in any Purchase Order by giving notice of such change in writing to Solectron at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the applicable ship date. The term “sales order” as used in the Customer Oracle system shall mean and refer to Purchase Orders or Orders.
