9.1 Cost Summary and Management. The cost summary set forth on Schedule 2, prepared by Jabil, contains a detailed SKU-level (SKU as defined by Company) cost summary, Incoterm FCA Port of Origin, complete with all formulas and assumptions, to provide full access and visibility to all component, labor, assembly and xxxx-up costs.
The cost agreed upon as of the Effective Date will be in effect until [*] and will not increase during that time period, except as provided in Section 9.2. Each calendar year (starting with [*]), the Parties shall meet from time to time on an executive level as required, but no less than on an annual basis, on or before [*], to identify cost reduction opportunities where each Party will share overall financial objectives of the on-going relationship between the Parties. Prices agreed upon at that time will be based on a written, Company volume projection on a SKU based level of its Product requirements for each calendar year and will be in effect for 12 months, starting on the first day of the upcoming iRobot fiscal year, and ending on the last day of that iRobot fiscal year and will not increase during that time, except as provided in Section 9.2. In support of Company’s annual operation plan (AOP) process, Jabil shall provide budgetary, non binding Product pricing to Company no later than [*] of each year during the Term. Jabil shall at all times employ an [*] approach to cost management and pricing of Components, Products and the Manufacturing Services to review Sustainable and Competitive Pricing opportunities for the Products and Manufacturing Services provided to Company under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “Sustainable and Competitive Pricing” means stable pricing over time for the Products and Manufacturing Services provided to Company under this Agreement that is favorable against that which could be reasonably attained from other contract manufacturers for comparable volumes of substantially similar products and comparable manufacturing services for customers similarly situated in similar markets taking into account all applicable state, local and federal regulations and licensing requirements. For purposes of this Agreement, the term [*] means providing detailed Jabil [*] to Company which includes; [*] (in place as of the Effective Date).
9.2 Price. The Price for each Product is set forth in Schedule 2 or the price identified in Jabil’s Purchase Order Acknowledgment where Schedule 2 has not yet been updated between the Parties despite the Parties’ mutually agreement on price change (the “Product Price”), and includes the complete price for such Product, including the fully-costed xxxx of materials, Jabil’s Gross Margin (as defined in Schedule 2), and any and all other added fees and costs related to the Manufacturing Services. The initial price for each Product shall remain in effect during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on [*]. New [*] pricing for each Product following [*] shall remain in effect for [*] from implementation of such new pricing. [*].
9.3 [*]
9.4 Cost Reduction Efforts. Company and Jabil shall pursue continuous cost reduction initiatives to ensure that available Sustainable and Competitive Pricing opportunities are reviewed. Such initiatives may include supply chain redesign, review of available Component suppliers, improved logistics solutions, manufacturing processes and test efficiency/elimination improvements, and, if necessary, process(es) and any Company-product redesign. Commencing [*], the Parties will target [*] total cost reduction on released and active Products per year for the first [*] of the life of each new Product. Jabil will demonstrate cost reduction improvements and report such results to Company [*] as part of a rolling cost management process with a [*] outlook for each Product.
9.5 Cost Reduction Sharing. Any cost reductions gained through Jabil’s suggestions, whether during a quarterly cost reduction effort review or during the interim thereof, shall be [*], starting from the date of implementation of such change, and ending at implementation of new pricing following the next annual cost review. Upon implementation of the new pricing, [*]. Jabil is expected to make reasonable efforts to implement cost reduction changes (irrespective of who initiated changes) as early as possible. Jabil is expected to provide full account of change implementation, timeline for implementation and the rationale.
9.6 Source Transparency. Jabil will submit a full list of suppliers to Company for each Product at the time of any cost summary submittal, along with the supplier part number (in case of Generic Components). Jabil will submit every supplier or part number change to Company for Company’s approval before such change goes into effect.
9.7 Cost Transparency. COGS (Cost Of Goods Sold) is a key factor in Company engaging Jabil to produce and deliver the Product. So that Company has full visibility to the current and ongoing status of Jabil’s COGS, Jabil will provide updated costing in the agreed upon format within five (5) business days of any change submittal. If Jabil fails to provide cost impact information within five (5) business days after any Company Specification changes, Company will consider the lack of response to mean that there is no cost impact. Any cost change would be considered valid only after Company’s approval. No less frequently then semi-annually, Jabil will, upon Company’s request, provide a microeconomic report that includes status of all suppliers/vendors/components, along with Jabil risk mitigation plan addressing all identified microeconomic risks.
10 Tooling and fixtures.
10.1 Company shall own any and all tooling, fixtures, molds, equipment, software and firmware made available to Jabil by Company, developed for or on behalf of Company, or otherwise paid for by Company (“Company Tooling”).

| • | [*] | ||||
| • | Team | ||||
| • | Jabil agrees to assign appropriate team to execute Company’s production of the [*] at Jabil, as well to participate in continuous improvement of both product and its production processes. As [*] database is created in Wildfire/PCAD/Altium and maintained in Windchill, it is necessary that the resources assigned to the project are fluent in engineering tools used to create and maintain the database. This is critical not only for the design understanding, tooling management, and participation in design and process change management, but also for all production and quality related fixtures. Jabil [*] engineering resources are expected to be qualified and trained engineers, fully capable in handling following CAD tools: | ||||
| • | -Mechanical: ProE/Wildfire, Windchill | ||||
| • | Electrical: PCAD, Altium, Windchill | ||||
Jabil will ensure that the engineering resources are periodically and properly trained in CAD tool upgrades, so as not to be out of step with iRobot. Jabil will do so at Jabil’s expense and proactively.
Jabil is expected to provide appropriate team dedicated to supporting New Product Introduction(s), as required by iRobot.
| • | System requirements | ||||
At iRobot’s discretion, Jabil may be given access to the following iRobot or iRobot third party internal systems, which Jabil agrees to work off of, including training Jabil employees on these systems at no cost to iRobot or its third party. The systems include but are not limited to:
a) Windchill
Windchill is a Web browser enabled, real time data management tool, which enables manufacturers to control product development activities and collaborate with the global partner in secure way. Windchill is a complex tool which poses certain hardware requirements and certain training requirements on the user. For
this reason, Company has developed an Company Vendor Requirement Document. This document describes:
| • | -Windchill Software Requirements | ||||
| • | -Hardware Requirements | ||||
| • | -Education Requirements | ||||
| • | -Local Windchill Support Personnel | ||||
| • | -Network Security Requirements | ||||
Jabil is expected to adhere to the requirements listed in this document, which may mean purchasing software upgrades, hardware upgrades and arranging and supporting training of their staff, at no cost to Company. All of this is necessary for the future real time global collaboration.
Part of this process is the bandwidth test, which is a test performed by Company personnel at Jabil’s site, with the purpose of assessing real life bandwidth capability of Jabil’s facility.
[*] Jabil is responsible for providing a secure area in the facility, for storing the server and other associated hardware.
Skill level
After all of the requirements of the Company Vendor Requirements documents have been met, and the bandwidth test has been satisfactorily performed, Jabil’s personnel will be subject to the Proficiency Test Script, which will aid in the proficiency assessment of Jabil’s personnel. Passing this test would mean that Windchill skill level requirement has been met.
Following this activity, Company and Jabil will engage in limited, scripted and controlled data exchange through Windchill. This step will ensure that everyone understands their role and responsibility and will increase confidence level with the tool, without jeopardizing main database. This step will also expose any issue Jabil might face with their network infrastructure, hardware setup, etc. and give an opportunity to optimize system performance.
The foregoing activities must occur within the agreed upon timeframes included in the integrated Company/Jabil project plan.
b) Oracle
Oracle MRP system is used in Company HRD organization for management of forecast, net requirement calculations, item master maintenance, inventory management and customer order management and fulfillment. In the interest of robust and timely information sharing with Jabil, it is expected that both Companies will go through the level of work required to enable automated
transactions between Oracle and SAP. Jabil is expected to support this work through ensuring that Jabil resources are available according to the agreed upon project timeline, at Jabil’s expense.
It is envisioned that enabling limited set of EDI transactions will be necessary threshold requirement in order to successfully complete the Production Start. It is expected that Jabil’s resources will be available on an ongoing basis to support ongoing continuous improvement efforts past Production Start, such as expanded set of EDI transactions, CIS access, to name a few, at Jabil’s expense.
Database change management. The important objective of the [*] project is to track any and all changes to the files (electrical or mechanical), tools, fixtures, parts, quality specifications or manufacturing processes. To facilitate meeting this objective, Company has developed ECR/ECN process and adopted a database management tool, Windchill. It is necessary that Jabil also acquire working Windchill knowledge, and adopt Company’s ECR/ECN process. Windchill as a tool supports this system very well. Company will communicate ECR/ECN process to Jabil through Company documents, and Jabil is expected to understand the process and be prepared to participate in it and use it for any and all changes to controlled activities, such as: changes to the files (electrical or mechanical), tools, fixtures, parts or manufacturing processes. There are many activities and responsibilities under XX XX change process. Company will assume most of them. Jabil will be expected to understand overall process, and know how to initiate change through problem report, and then know how to view change after it has been routed through the system. This particular aspect of collaboration will also be practiced by Jabil and Company through scripted and controlled data exchange through Windchill. Jabil is expected to ask permission for any and all changes to database, to include both engineering and quality related documentation and processes. All Jabil input is encouraged but it must be reviewed and approved by Company before it takes effect. Jabil will utilize variety of resources outside of [*] and core [*] team dedicated to Company account, such as tooling/molding resources. It is expected that Jabil will manage all its external relationships, and it is Jabil’s responsibility to ensure that all parties acting on Company’s account on Jabil’s behalf utilize the latest released instance of the database. Failure to do so (resulting in production of outdated parts, or incorrect fixtures, etc.) will be Jabil’s responsibility and Jabil will correct any errors that may arise at their own expense and within acceptable timelines. It is expected that Jabil’s resources will be available on an ongoing basis to support continuous improvement efforts past Production Start, such as active participation in ECR/ECN process through proposing changes through Windchill, redlining documents and models, and in some instances even
performing edits directly in a database. The augmented participation will be discussed with Jabil well in advance of expected implementation.
Jabil shall maintain its hardware and software setups in support of Company’s business under this Agreement to ensure compatibility with Company’s future system upgrades. Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to notify Jabil in advance of any system upgrades applicable to the Products under this Agreement.

RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Parties executed the Manufacturing Services Agreement dated March 18, 2010 as amended by Amendment #1 dated April 13, 2015, Amendment #2 dated August 2, 2016, Amendment #3 dated February 10, 2017, Amendment #4 dated Xxxxx 0, 0000, Xxxxxxxxx #5 dated July 30, 2019 and Addendum #1 dated August 14, 2019 and Addendum #2 executed on October 23, 2019 (the “Agreement.”);
WHEREAS, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has caused certain business disruptions for both Parties that require amending certain terms of the Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree effective as of _May 1, 2020, that pursuant to Section 25.3 of the Agreement, the Parties amend the Agreement as follows:
1.Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Addendum #1 shall be stricken and replaced with the following:
“Section 2. If, for any reason not attributable to Jabil (including Force Majeure event), 1,000,000 iRobot units starting from the launch of mass production in 2019 are not manufactured in Jabil Malaysia by December 31, 2021 (“Time Limit”), iRobot will reimburse Jabil $1.30 times the difference between the number of units produced and 1,000,000 units by issuing a purchase order to Jabil by or before January 5th, 2022. In the event iRobot cannot meet the 1,000,000 volume commitment by the Time Limit due to any delay to deliver iRobot units or Jabil’s failure to perform its obligation, which are caused by Jabil, then (i) iRobot will continue to receive the mutually agreed 2021 volume-based pricing benefit as if those units were purchased in calendar year 2021; and (ii) the foregoing reimbursement obligations will be paid through the purchase of such units in calendar year 2022, provided that iRobot has placed purchased orders for delivery within the 2021 calendar year and such delivery has not occurred due to Jabil’s fault. Upon reaching 1 million units produced in Jabil Malaysia, if before December 31, 2021, iRobot shall receive an immediate cost reduction of $1.30 per unit on the models stated in Section 1 and manufactured in Jabil Malaysia beginning with unit number 1,000,001.”
“Section 3. The volume-based pricing, as shown in the chart below [*], applies to all iRobot units purchased between May 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Out of the 1,000,000 iRobot units set forth in Section 2 above, iRobot will commit to purchase 700,000 units from Jabil Malaysia as a
combination of the SKUs as noted below within the calendar year of 2020, which includes the 100,000 units already manufactured through April 2020 and the 100,000 unit order that had to be manufactured in China such that iRobot’s volume commitment for the remainder of 2020 from May 1, 2020 forward is 500,000 units. iRobot will pay the per unit cost for 500,000 units volume-based pricing as indicated below. Within Jabil’s capacity as defined in the attached Schedule 1, should Jabil reject, delay or otherwise be unable to perform on any purchase order placed by iRobot pursuant to the Agreement and such rejection, delay or failure is due to Jabil and causes a push-out of the manufacture of any units beyond calendar year 2020, iRobot will continue to receive the volume-based pricing benefit as indicated below as if those units were purchased in calendar year 2020. However, and, except to the extent set forth above, if iRobot does not meet the 700,000 unit volume commitment for 2020, then the iRobot units purchased in 2020 shall be subject to a pricing revision agreed to by both Parties considering the difference of the volume-based pricing as indicated below and the total volume of units actually purchased by iRobot between May 1st to December 31st, 2020. iRobot and Jabil agree that there will be a pricing reconciliation where iRobot shall be responsible to pay Jabil any amount due to Jabil pursuant to the aforementioned pricing revision. iRobot will make commercially reasonable efforts to send additional volume to Jabil Malaysia to take advantage of further volume cost reductions.”iRobot P/N
2.Jabil agrees through this Amendment #6, to release iRobot from any additional costs, fees, expense or the like as it relates to any price reconciliation for prices paid per unit through April 30, 2020, for products manufactured in Malaysia.
3.If any conflict or inconsistency occurs between this Amendment and the Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail.
4.The remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unamended.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound, each of the Parties have caused their duly authorized representatives to enter into this Amendment #6 on the date first written above.
