Exhibit B Pricing

Pricing model to be utilized after the Transition Period for this Agreement shall be in accordance with the chart below. After the Transition Period, forecasted run rate will be reviewed each quarter and pricing will be adjusted forward accordingly. Upon completion of transition, profit will be reduced by one-half of one percent (0.50%) at the corresponding run rate.

The xxxx-up charged by Plexus to Harmonic for components with purchase prices of [*] will be assessed a total xxxx-up of [*] and no other adders or xxxx-ups shall apply to these components. Components consigned by Harmonic to Plexus for integration into purchased assemblies shall be charged [*]. Such charges shall be submitted to Harmonic no later than the next calendar month after usage.

Establishment of product costs to be based on a “Best of BOM’s approach”, utilizing the best available price for all components during the Transition Period and thereafter.

	a)		Market shift; or

	b)		Demand increase or decrease outside the flexibility parameters outlined in Exhibit C.

After such quarterly netting, Plexus shall invoice Harmonic for negative PPV charges only if such variance exceeds [*] per component.

This program shall include product overall component and production lead-time reduction reviews.

Plexus shall make no change in manufacturing location without Harmonic’s prior written approval. Plexus will bear all costs associated with transferring production between sites when Plexus directs the move. Transition costs associated with moves requested by Harmonic for cost reduction purposes will be borne by Harmonic and 100% of cost reduction savings goes to Harmonic, unless the parties agree to equally share transition costs then Section 9 below applies to any cost savings after Plexus recovers its share of the transition costs.

If a cost reduction is initiated and obtained by Harmonic, such cost reduction will be passed on to Harmonic entirely at the next pricing review and/or for the next Order.

If a cost reduction is initiated and obtained by Plexus, Plexus will be entitled to retain [*] of such cost savings for the quarter following the next pricing review at which time [*] will be passed on to Harmonic.

10.
