SECTION 8

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

8.1 End-of-life Planning

From time to time, Nortel Networks may declare that a Product is to be manufacture discontinued, or Nortel Networks or a supplier may advise Flextronics that a material or component required for the Repair of a Product is to be manufacture discontinued. The Parties acknowledge that the Repair requirements for the applicable Product shall continue well beyond the date at which such Product, material or component is manufacture discontinued, and Flextronics shall provide Repair Services consistent with the terms of this agreement, including performance of all relevant test processes and securing material availability, for each Product. At least quarterly, Nortel Networks and Flextronics shall jointly meet to discuss actions involving Products which could be eliminated from the Repair operations.

8.2 Class B Inventory and Class C Inventory

Flextronics shall be responsible for maintaining appropriate levels of Class B Inventory in order to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement provided that Flextronics is able to obtain from Nortel Networks such volumes and types of Class C Inventory which shall be necessary in order to provide such Class B Inventory levels.

During the Term, Flextronics shall maintain the Class B Inventory, as determined on a PEC by PEC basis, at levels which do not exceed the greater of 5 units or 90 times the Daily Usage Rate, unless Flextronics inherited such excess Class B Inventory at the Effective Date or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 23

Should there be insufficient Class B Inventory available to service a Customer order, it is expected that Flextronics will fast track a unit from Class C Inventory in order to meet the level of service criteria as shown in Exhibit 5. Should there not be enough Class C stock available to either service a customer order or a normal Class B Inventory restocking demand, then Flextronics shall inform the appropriate Nortel Networks representative as soon as is reasonably practicable. Provided that Flextronics has met it’s obligations in this Agreement for controlling, planning and securing Class C Inventory, Flextronics shall not be held accountable for those level of service misses caused by not having enough Class C Inventory. Flextronics shall not hold Nortel Networks financially accountable for any loss of repair revenues due to a lack of Class C Inventory. Should such event result in an A-B writedown, then Nortel Networks will be financially accountable for any A-B writedown costs.

Except as otherwise agreed in writing by Nortel Networks, all Class B Inventory and Class C Inventory acquired by Flextronics after the Effective Date shall be used by Flextronics exclusively for the satisfaction of any obligation it may have to provide Repair Services, directly or indirectly, to Nortel Networks under this Agreement.

If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ decides to junk or dispose of Class C Inventory or Class B Inventory, Flextronics will, upon authorization by Nortel Networks, dispose of such Inventory free of processing charges to Flextronics utilizing Nortel Networks’ designated reclamation center.

8.3 Open Market Purchases

Flextronics shall seek prior written approval from Nortel Networks prior to obtaining any Class B Inventory or Class C Inventory from the open market.

8.4 Components

Flextronics shall perform, on an ongoing basis, all activities necessary to manage the supply of Repaired Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such activities to include, but not be limited to, the following:

	(a)		conduct and provide to Nortel Networks a summary and forecast of components that any supplier in the supply chain plans to discontinue;

			plans, last time buy quantity required, qualification and verification plans, scope of intellectual property risk known to Flextronics and the basis of Flextronics’ knowledge) of the best alternative available, such as, perform last time buy, component substitutions, component packaging foot print changes, elimination of the component by incorporating function into another component, specification relaxation to eliminate the need for the component. In this regard, Nortel Networks will provide Flextronics with parameters concerning its forecasted demand for the Product through the Products end-of-life, including, without limitation, the estimated sell-off period and aggregate quantity required and anticipated Product mix (the “End of Life Parameters”). Flextronics shall be entitled to rely on such End of Life Parameters in conducting its analysis;

	(h)		where last-time buy plan is approved by Nortel Networks, Flextronics shall perform the activities set out in this Section 8.4 including executing the last-time buy and such Inventory will be considered End-of-Life Inventory.

8.5 Purges

Flextronics shall be responsible to keep Class B Inventory at or above the baseline shippable release levels (“Baseline”). Upon either party determining that such Inventory is not at Baseline, Flextronics shall bring Inventory to Baseline provided that there is a viable upgrade path. Flextronics shall propose via the process outlined in Section 7.2, and Nortel Networks shall pay, for those commercially reasonable costs provided that Nortel Networks has approved those charges, and provided that Flextronics has used commercially reasonable planning practices within its control. Upon agreement that a Purge needs to be performed, Flextronics will use commercially reasonable efforts to Purge the Inventory within 15 days.

8.6 Support of Nortel Networks Remanufacturing Activities

From time to time, Nortel Networks may need to utilize Class C Inventory or purchase Class B Inventory in order to satisfy Nortel Networks or Nortel Networks’ third parties obligations for remanufacturing activities. Upon request by Nortel, Flextronics shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Inventory and notify Nortel Networks of any potential negative impact on service level agreement deliverables or commercially reasonable costs.

8.7 Excess Inventory

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

For every Product sold to Nortel Networks, Flextronics shall be permitted to charge Nortel Networks an uplift percentage applicable on the Product Price. The Parties will agree to the percentage uplift prior to the Effective Date. The Parties understand that the uplift factor(s) during Year 1 will be greater than for subsequent years due to the purchase of one year’s inventory at the Effective Date by Flextronics. After the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the uplift factor will reflect only the on-going events beyond Flextronics’ control. The Parties agree that the uplift percentage will be reviewed six (6) months after the Effective Date and



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 25

annually on the anniversary of the Effective Date. In conjunction with each uplift factor review, Flextronics will perform an E & O calculation based on one year’s historical demand, NPI forecast, and known events. During such reviews, the Parties may mutually agree to adjust the uplift percentage. For any increase of the uplift percentage, Flextronics must demonstrate to Nortel Networks that such adjustment is material (greater than 2% of total Inventory) and the result of an act or event outside Flextronics’ control.

The table below provides an example of how the uplift percentage shall be applied.


	Uplift Amount
			Units Sold				Year 1							Units Sold				Year 2
	Current		to Nortel		Amount		Uplift %			Uplift		Current		to Nortel		Amount		Uplift %			Uplift
Product	Price		During year		Sold		Factor			Amount		Price		During year		Sold		Factor			Amount

aaaaaaaa	$	1,000		400	$	400,000		1.0	%		4000	$	990		400	$	396,000		1.0	%		3960

bbbbbbb	$	400		98	$	39,200		1.0	%		392	$	360		50	$	18,000		1.0	%		180

ccccccc	$	136		4000	$	544,000		1.0	%		5440	$	122		3800	$	463,600		1.0	%		4636

											9,937											8857

										Two yr sum					18794

On an annual basis, Nortel Networks and Flextronics shall perform the calculations as shown in the examples above and project the uplift percentage required for the following year. In the event that the accumulated uplift fund is greater than the excess Inventory requirements, Flextronics shall agree to reduce the uplift factor to an agreed upon factor for on-going operations under Flextronics control.

Thirty days prior to the Effective Date both Parties will jointly meet and agree on the percentage to be used as an uplift factor. Considerations in determining the uplift factor will include analyzing Nortel Networks historical E & O requirements and determining whether these factors are applicable to the inventory model which Flextronics will be operating under after the Effective Date.

8.8 Consigned Inventory

On the Effective Date, Nortel Networks will sell twelve (12) months demand of Class B Inventory on a PEC code by PEC code basis to Flextronics. All other transferred inventory will be held by Flextronics as Consigned Inventory.

With respect to Consigned Inventory:



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 26

	(a)		Unless Nortel Networks otherwise directs, Flextronics shall hold such inventory on behalf of and, in the ordinary course of business, [•];

	(b)		Flextronics shall keep and care for such Consigned Inventory with the same standard of care as if it were part of the Inventory, including the obligation to hold at Flextronics’ risk and to insure against loss. However, no such Consigned Inventory shall be, nor be deemed to be, a part of the Inventory;

	(c)		Flextronics shall repurchase all suitable Consigned Inventory from Nortel Networks prior to repairing Class C Inventory;

	(d)		When Flextronics is required to acquire Consignment Inventory, Flextronics will acquire the lesser of all Consigned Inventory or 30 times the Daily Usage Rate.

	(e)		Flextronics shall make such purchase at the then current Price unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Flextronics shall make payment to Nortel Networks for such purchases within forty (40) days thereof;

	(f)		In the event Flextronics does not repurchase Consigned Inventory in accordance with the foregoing, 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;

	(g)		Flextronics will be responsible for normal cycle count adjustments for Consigned Inventory. [•]; and

However, this adjustment will not be higher than the Initial Continuous Improvement Baseline established at the date of each Product transfer or any Continuous Improvement Baseline in following years, which ever is better.

9.1.2 Liquidated Damages for Failure to Meet Metrics

The Parties acknowledge that the failure of Flextronics to obtain performance results better than or equal to the metric target for RDOA and On-Time Delivery elements on the report card with respect to any Product Family as a result of any act or omission within Flextronics’ Control and Responsibility, for [•] (measured as the weighted average of the scorecards for each of those months), shall entitle Nortel Networks to receive the applicable liquidated damages as set out in the table below.

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:

For the period of 0-4 months after the Effective Date, no liquidated damages shall be assessed for any Product.

For the period of 5-8 months after the Effective Date, liquidated damages shall be assessed as follows:

*		Flextronics’ revenue for the affected Product Family, as measured in the aggregate on the relevant Report Card.

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.

9.1.3 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 [•] imposed on Nortel Networks by the Customer.

In the event that Flextronics is required to pay liquidated damages under this Section 9.1.3, 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 9.1.2.

9.1.4 Termination for Breach of Metrics

The failure of Flextronics to obtain performance results better than or equal to the passing grade for those breachable metrics identified in Exhibit 5 for each element on the report card with respect to any Product Family as a result of any act or omission within Flextronics’ Control and Responsibility, for [•] (measured as the weighted average of the scorecards for each of those [•]), constitutes a material breach of Flextronics’ obligations under this Agreement with respect to that Product Family. If Nortel Networks does not exercise its right to terminate for such breach, any applicable liquidated damages owing pursuant to Section 9.1.2 will be paid by Flextronics for each successive month that Flextronics fails to obtain metric target as set out herein. If Nortel Networks does



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 31

exercise its right to terminate for such breach, Flextronics’ 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 9.1.4, then such dispute will be submitted to the Dispute Resolution Process in Section 26 prior to Nortel Networks exercise of its termination rights or Flextronics obligation to pay any liquidated damages.

9.1.5 Transition Performance Period

Nortel Networks acknowledges that Flextronics’ ability to perform its obligations at the Effective Date under the attached Exhibits is dependent upon Flextronics ability to engage certain Nortel Networks current internal/external suppliers to continue to perform the Repair Services defined in this Agreement at the metric levels required in Exhibit 5. In addition, Flextronics’ ability to perform its obligations at the Effective Date is dependent upon Nortel Networks timely transfer of the necessary Nortel Networks’ equipment, information, processes and personnel, to satisfy the requirements set forth in Exhibits 2 and 3.

Nortel Networks agrees to provide all reasonable assistance to Flextronics including the assignment of certain agreements and as appropriate the facilitation of discussions with other third parties that Flextronics desires to engage, to assist Flextronics in gaining the capability to deliver the Repair Services in accordance with the stipulated service levels.

Except where indicated in the relevant Statement of Work, Flextronics shall be obligated to deliver all of the Repair Services as of the Effective Date, provided however that during the four (4) month period after the Effective Date, Nortel Networks shall not use any breachable metric measured during this four (4) month period to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.4 of this Agreement for Breach of Metrics unless the breach of the performance metric is solely attributable to an action of Flextronics.

To the extent that during this four (4) month period Flextronics is able to demonstrate that any of the service levels were not achieved prior to the Effective Date, then Flextronics shall be excused from achieving the service level. In this circumstance, the Parties agree to meet and negotiate in good faith a timeline for achieving the service level including any associated cost issues and to amend the relevant Exhibit(s) to reflect the agreed resolution.

If subsequent to the agreed timeline to achieve the required service level, Flextronics still cannot achieve the required service level then, notwithstanding the commitments and obligations in Section 3.3 of this Agreement, Nortel Networks shall be permitted to arrange for the Repair Services from another service provider or provide the Repair Service itself until Flextronics is able to reasonably demonstrate that Flextronics can achieve the required service level.



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 32

9.2 Industry Standards

If in existence on the Effective Date, Flextronics agrees to maintain the industry standards set out below. If Nortel Networks requires Flextronics to implement an industry standard not certified on the Effective Date, Flextronics will pursue such standard, subject to the mutual agreement of the Parties on the associated costs.

(a) ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 compliance at Delivery Facilities;

(b) applicable TL9000 requirements requested by Nortel Networks;

(d) effective assessments and corrective/preventive actions in respect of quality audits;

(e) senior management reviews are undertaken to discuss quality across all processes.

9.3 Source Inspection

Nortel Networks may perform source inspections of parts, assemblies or processes at a Flextronics supplier or subcontractor facility whenever Nortel Networks decides it is necessary. The source inspection shall be conducted during normal business hours and with reasonable prior written notice to Flextronics.

9.4 Repair Quality

	(a)		Flextronics shall maintain a level of quality with respect to workmanship, testing and packaging processes that shall limit RDOA occurrences as specified in Exhibit 5, measured on a monthly basis. Flextronics will provide to Nortel Networks a weekly pareto of RDOA occurrences and for the top three (3) issues Flextronics will provide to Nortel Networks (a) a root cause analysis, (b) an action plan detailing corrective actions required and (c) the action register showing the status of the action plan. At its discretion, Nortel Networks may participate in the development of these action plans.

	(b)		For each Repair Facility, Flextronics will develop a quality performance program no less stringent than the standards currently in place, or as may be updated from time to time, in the relevant repair facility of Nortel Networks. Flextronics’ compliance with these standards will be measured monthly pursuant to Exhibit 5.

	(c)		Nortel may notify Flextronics in writing if Flextronics has failed to meet the requirements set forth in either subsection (a) or (b) above. If during the Term, NNL so notifies Flextronics in each of three (3) consecutive months, Flextronics shall be deemed to be in material breach of this Agreement. If Flextronics disputes whether there has been a material breach for the purposes of this Section 9.4 then Flextronics shall be entitled to invoke the Dispute Resolution Process in Exhibit 10.



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 33

SECTION 10

REPAIR COST MANAGEMENT PROCESS

10.1

Prices for Repair Services

10.1.1 Repair Services Prices

The initial Prices for Repair Services specific to each Product shall be as set out in Exhibit 6 and periodically updated as set out in Exhibit 7. The Parties agree that Prices for Repair Services will not be greater after the Effective Date than before provided that there are no new material services or capabilities required by Nortel Networks.

10.1.2 Logistics Services

The Prices for Logistics Services are set forth in Exhibit 6.

10.1.3 Pricing and Scope

The Scope of Work broadly defines the activities performed by Nortel Networks prior to the Effective Date with respect to the Transitioned Business. The Parties agree that the Prices set forth in this Agreement include all such activities.

10.1.4 Day One Pricing

The Parties agree that the Price for Repair Services, on the Effective Date, will not be greater than the cost incurred by Nortel Networks for such Repair Services on the day before the Effective Date. In addition, the Price for Repair Services on the day after Flextronics assumes responsibility of such Repair Services from third party suppliers [•]. These Prices are set out in Exhibit 6. Thereafter, Nortel Networks and Flextronics will set Prices on an annual basis, using the process described in Exhibit 7, incorporating the ICR and OCR into the committed Price for the forward four quarters.

In order to establish Prices as of the Effective Date, Nortel Networks shall provide sufficient information to support current Prices as at such date. This process is set forth in Exhibit 15. Flextronics will determine by the end of four (4) months after the Effective Date whether it is satisfied that the resources and cost responsibilities, as transferred, are accurately reflected in the Prices as provided by Nortel 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 Repair Services, which shall be retroactive to the first invoice. If Nortel Networks does not accept this determination, the Parties shall follow the 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 Prices forty (40) days after receipt of invoice.

10.2

Payment, Taxes and Duties

10.2.1 Invoices



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 34

Each invoice shall be rendered against the relevant Order. On each invoice submitted to Nortel Networks, Flextronics shall reference the number of the Order(s) issued for the Repair Services covered by such invoice. Any taxes not included in the Price but which are to be paid by Nortel Networks and collected by Flextronics and remitted to the applicable taxing authority, shall be itemized on the invoice except as is required by law to be included in the Price; if Flextronics is unable to itemize such amounts attributable to Repair Services listed on any invoice and does not include such amounts on the invoice, Flextronics shall invoice the applicable Nortel Company as soon as practicable the amount attributable to such charges for such invoices issued during the preceding calendar month and provide to Nortel Networks a reconciliation to each such invoice. Flextronics agrees not to assess any applicable excise tax, sales tax, goods and services tax, value added or similar taxes where Nortel Networks furnishes Flextronics a tax exemption certificate, a certificate of authority, a direct pay permit and/or any equivalent acceptable to the applicable taxing authority. Nortel Networks shall withhold any applicable withholding tax from payments made to Flextronics pursuant to this Agreement. To assist Flextronics in obtaining any tax credits for the amounts withheld, Nortel Networks shall promptly provide Flextronics with such evidence as may be reasonably required by the applicable taxing authorities to establish that such withholding tax has been paid.

10.2.2 Payment

Payment shall be made net [•] after the date of the applicable invoice. [•]. Nortel Networks may deduct any undisputed credit due and owing it, upon approval of Flextronics. Payment shall be made in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise agreed upon in the appropriate Virtual Systems House Agreement or otherwise between the Parties. If payment is made in currency other than U.S. dollars, the Parties shall use the Currency Conversion factor except as otherwise set out in the appropriate Virtual Systems House Agreement to calculate payment. Nortel Networks shall pay by wire transfer in the jurisdictions where this is possible.

[•].

Nortel Networks shall identify any dispute with respect to an invoice within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such invoice.

[•].

Flextronics reserves the right to make emergency surcharges (ie fuel, security) to recover commercially reasonable costs associated with temporary or industry wide situations which could not be reasonably anticipated at the commencement of this Agreement. Nortel Networks will receive thirty (30) days written notice of any emergency surcharges. Surcharges will be reviewed between Nortel Networks and Flextronics every thirty (30) days from the time that the initial notice period was served until the time at which the temporary surcharges are removed. All surcharges will be temporary, and will



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 35

apply in addition to negotiated rates and will be separately identified. Flextronics will attempt to mitigate these costs wherever possible.

10.3 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 of the MCMSA). The parties acknowledge that they have arrived at the concepts of OCR and ICR by assigning cost reductions that Nortel Networks generally would have been able to achieve through its own efforts, and/or through Nortel Networks existing supply chain, 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. Flextronics commits to the cost reduction to the Prices as set out in Exhibit 6 of the MRSA. The implementation is set out in Exhibit 7 of the MRSA. Nortel Networks is responsible for generating the plan for the OCR for Year One. OCR cannot be used to fulfill the Committed ICR %.

If Flextronics achieves more than the quarterly take-down in any given quarter, it is not obligated to pass through the cost reduction in the current quarter, or the quarter following, but will provide 100% of the reduction in the current quarter plus two. The implementation of this method would be the 1^st day of the quarter following the full quarter of share. The Parties will enter into a supplement to the Joint CR Commit and Pricing Agreement (as defined in Exhibit 17-1 of the MCMSA) to reflect this incremental cost reduction.

10.4 Incremental Cost Reduction

Flextronics will use its 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 7.

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.

10.4.1 Definition of ICR

“Incremental Cost Reduction” or “ICR” means the list of cost reduction programs set forth in Exhibit 7. In addition, the Parties agree that any ICRs achieved by Flextronics consistent with the terms of Exhibit 7, during the time period between the Execution Date and the Commencement Date shall be credited towards Flextronics’ ICR Commitment.

10.4.2 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 Repair Services made by



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 36

Nortel Networks (“Total Revenue”). This percentage is defined as the “Committed ICR %”. [•]. If the Total Revenue is reduced because Nortel Networks has not purchased Repair Services from Flextronics for any of the reasons set out in Section 3.3.1(B) or (C), the ICR to be delivered shall be calculated as if the Total Revenue had not been so reduced.

10.4.3 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). If, as determined in an annual true-up process, the 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 Supplier and Nortel Networks as of a certain date. The Year One Baseline will be the Total Revenue as of the Effective Date 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 7 of the MRSA; 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.

10.4.4 Year 4 Cost Reduction

In Year 4 all cost reduction will be managed using the process in Exhibit 7 for OCR [•].

10.5 OCR Threshold Commitment

In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ considers that, due to any unforeseen event or condition beyond Flextronics’ control that the OCR commitment will be missed by a threshold of [•] or greater. Flextronics will present to Nortel Networks quantifiable information, including, third party benchmarking, to enable Nortel Networks to validate that the Annual Commitment and Product Prices are not achievable due to such conditions, the Parties will review the Annual Commitment and Product Price at the monthly Cost Review Meeting. Where Nortel Networks does so validate, then the Parties will agree to revise the Product Prices and Annual Commitment for the balance of the quarters remaining. Nortel Networks shall have fifteen (15) calendar days to notify Flextronics that it is either validating or rejecting Supplier’s request. If Nortel Networks



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 37

fails to respond in such time, Flextronics will have the right to update the Exhibit 6 Pricing. The amount of this revision will reflect directly the validated number/percentage.

(Example: [•].)

SECTION 11

BUSINESS CONTINUITY

11.1 Business Continuity Planning

Flextronics shall maintain a business continuity plan for each Repair Facility to be put into effect if a Repair Facility becomes unable to provide Repair Services for any reason, including Force Majeure, for a period of more than five (5) days (“Business Continuity Plan”). Flextronics’ goal is to be able to continue to provide Repair Services 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 Repair 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’ capability to recover in an emergency if one of its own repair facilities or processes becomes unable to provide Repair Services 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 Repair Services and associated level of service metrics are not impacted by said test. As reasonably requested by Nortel Networks during the Term, Flextronics will adjust the Business Continuity Plan to better conform to and integrate with Nortel Networks’ business continuity plan, on terms to be mutually agreed to by the Parties.

Throughout the 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 provide Services 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’ Business Continuity Plan annually.

SECTION 27
GENERAL PROVISIONS

27.1 Access to Facilities

Nortel Networks shall have the right to review Flextronics’ facilities, operations, and procedures as they relate to the Repair Services, at any reasonable time with adequate prior notice for purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. From time to time a Customer may request the right to review Flextronics facilities and operations for the purpose of qualification. Flextronics shall permit such reviews with notice of five (5) Business Days, provided that Flextronics does not consider the Customer to be a competitor of Flextronics, and such Customer signs an acceptable non-disclosure agreement. Flextronics shall not grant access to those areas of its facilities where Repair Services are conducted to a Competitor of Nortel Networks without Nortel Networks’ express written permission.

27.2 Reporting

Flextronics shall provide Nortel Networks with the reports as set forth herein and in the Statement of Work or as mutually agreed by the parties consistent with the appropriate management of the Repair Services.

27.3 Documentation

Flextronics shall maintain documentation and information relating to the Repair Services and Specifications, and updates thereto consistent with industry best practices, but in no event less than [•].

27.4 Audits

27.4.1 Agreement Compliance

Upon Nortel Networks’ prior reasonable request and at Nortel Networks’ cost, Flextronics shall cooperate in the audit of its records in the manner set forth below, for the purpose of confirming compliance with this Agreement. Nortel Networks may retain the services of a major, independent accounting firm, other than the accounting firm(s) employed as primary outside auditors of Nortel Networks’ or Flextronics’ Parent (the “Accounting Firm”). In conducting any audit hereunder or in making a determination following such audit, the Accounting Firm shall be directed to take into consideration all relevant aspects of the matter being audited which may include, among other things, product scope, volume levels, product complexity, regulatory requirements and Material Overhead for comparative purposes.

The Accounting Firm shall be required to maintain in confidence and not disclose to Nortel Networks any and all Confidential Information concerning the business, affairs and products of Flextronics that it may learn in the course of conducting its inspections, except to the extent that it discovers information indicating that Flextronics has violated its obligations under this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Accounting Firm



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 60

make disclosure to Nortel Networks of information relating to any customer of Flextronics. Flextronics agrees to permit the Accounting Firm to inspect any of Flextronics’ facilities where Flextronics’ records are located or stored, and to fully cooperate with such audits including, without limitation, giving the Accounting Firm full access to all such facilities and all records, documents, and personnel related to the Products. Nortel Networks shall give reasonable notice to Flextronics of its desire to conduct such an audit. Audits shall occur during normal business hours and, except when Nortel Networks in its sole discretion believes a violation of this Agreement has occurred, shall occur not more often than once in any twelve (12) month period.

[•]

27.4.2 Control & Security Compliance

Upon five (5) Business Days notice to Flextronics and during normal business hours, Nortel Networks shall be permitted to audit, inspect and/or verify relevant Flextronics’ operations and other areas of service to confirm that (i) Flextronics is maintaining controls and security measures specific to Flextronics’ fulfillment of its obligations to Nortel Networks pursuant to this Agreement (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Nortel Networks are correct, (iii) reports relating to Flextronics’ performance are complete and accurate, (iv) records relating to consigned inventory are accurate, complete, valid and appropriately valued, and (v) proof of shipping are accurate, complete and valid (‘Inspections’). Nortel Networks shall clearly state the nature of the Inspection being requested.

Such Inspections shall be limited to information that relates directly to Flextronics’ fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Nortel Networks may conduct Inspections itself or with the assistance of a third party organization acceptable to Flextronics, provided that the third party organization executes a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Flextronics, at Nortel Networks expense, as appropriate. Inspections may be made as frequently as Nortel Networks reasonably deems appropriate.

Flextronics will provide to Nortel Networks and its respective auditors (including internal audit staff), inspectors, regulators, consultants and other representatives (collectively ‘Inspectors’) as Nortel Networks may from time to time designate in writing, reasonable access to, without limitation: (i) Flextronics’ facilities where the services and/or operations are being performed; (ii) Flextronics’ personnel and subcontractors providing any of the services/operations; and (iii) data and records, and (iv) operational or security audit reports and findings including remediation plans in the possession of Flextronics relating to any of the relevant services and/or operations. Flextronics will provide such access to Inspectors upon reasonable written notice by Nortel Networks during regular business hours, provided that all such persons adhere to Flextronics’ customary security and safety policies and have executed a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Flextronics.

Upon request by Nortel Networks and with Flextronics’ prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Flextronics will assist and cooperate with Nortel Networks Inspectors in connection with Inspection functions, including the



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 61

review and/or timely remediation of audit issues. Such cooperation shall extend to agreed Sarbanes Oxley regulatory compliance, as described below.

As the processes impacted by this Agreement and the Sarbanes Oxley rules and regulations for Section 404 compliance are more fully understood, both Flextronics and Nortel Networks will work together to determine the exact requirements needed to meet the Sarbanes Oxley Section 404 legislation. The Parties will work together to determine a reasonable, cost effective and mutually satisfactory solution to meet each Party’s compliance needs. Each party will maximize the use of its own internal controls and internally available information to minimize the impact on the other Party.

All Inspections will be performed in a manner and frequency intended to minimize disruption to the Parties’ respective businesses.

27.5 Force Majeure

A Party affected by an event of Force Majeure shall be released without any liability on its part from the performance of its obligations (other than an obligation to pay money) under this Agreement, but only to the extent and only for the period that its performance of such obligations is prevented by circumstances of Force Majeure and provided that such Party shall have given prompt notice to the other Party. Such notice shall include a description of the nature of the event of Force Majeure, its cause, and its possible consequences. The Party claiming circumstances of Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other Party of the conclusion of the event.

27.6 Notices

All demands, notices, communications and reports provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either sent by facsimile transmission with confirmation to the number specified below or personally delivered or sent by reputable overnight courier services (delivery charges prepaid) to any party at the address specified below, or at such address, to the attention of such other person, and with such other copy as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party pursuant to the provisions of this Section:

27.7 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. Flextronics shall be solely responsible for its own employees and sales people and for their omissions, acts and the things done by them. Other than as expressly permitted or provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Nortel Networks expressly disclaims any liability for any commitments on behalf of Nortel Networks made by Flextronics.



		Master Repair Services Agreement		Page 63

27.8 Flextronics Responsible for its Contractors

Flextronics may subcontract Repair Services only with Nortel Networks’ prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in Nortel Networks’ sole discretion. The approval by Nortel Networks of any 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.

27.9 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 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 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 or of any Subsidiary of Flextronics, 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, or (2) substantially all of the assets of Flextronics or of such Subsidiary of Flextronics.

27.10 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.

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.
