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.



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 Flextronics 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;
	 	(b)	 	identify, monitor and react to suppliers end-of-life
notifications;
	 	(c)	 	apply strategic technical analysis of the supply base
to proactively warn of potential End-of-Life Inventory trouble
areas by product family;
	 	(d)	 	maintain and provide to Nortel Networks a consolidated
list of components (including supplier part numbers) which are
approaching end-of-life;
	 	(e)	 	for components that have had last time buys performed,
track and monitor Inventory on hand and projected use up dates
with the goal of continuity of supply and be able to react
accordingly if the use up date is advanced;
	 	(f)	 	negotiate with supply base to maintain supply until an
alternative solution can be achieved;
	 	(g)	 	if required by Nortel Networks, research, review and
recommend to Nortel Networks for approval (including business
case, detailed cost analysis, design 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 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.

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:




	 	(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
	 	(h)	 	If Nortel Networks requires Flextronics to increase the level
of Consigned Inventory above the level as of the Effective Date, the
Parties will mutually agree if an adjustment is required to the
Price.

responsible for either the Book Value of such property or replacement of such
property, at Nortel Networks’ reasonable discretion.



SECTION 9

QUALITY





	9.1	 	Metrics, Report Card and Liquidated Damages





	 	9.1.1	 	Report Card



Flextronics shall complete report cards, which shall be used as a method
to measure against the goals of quality, service and cost and shall
deliver such report cards to Nortel Networks on a monthly basis
coinciding with the monthly reviews provided for in Section 2.4. The
metrics used to derive the report card scores and the formats for the
report cards shall be as set out in Exhibit 5.


For each Metric, there will be two performance criteria: “Minimum
Performance” and “Continuous Improvement”. Minimum Performance criteria
will be used to measure whether the process is in control and meeting the
minimum performance expectations. Continuous Improvement criteria will be
used to assess improvement of the average performance of the applicable
process and reduction of process variations.


The “Minimum Performance Baseline” and “Continuous Improvement Baseline”
will be established for each breachable metrics as follows, unless
otherwise mutually agreed.




	 	(a)	 	an operational definition of each metric will be
outlined in Exhibit 5,







Master Repair Services Agreement




28









 






	 	(b)	 	Minimum Performance Baseline:





	 	(i)	 	Initial Minimum Performance Baseline will
be:
	 	 	 	Historical data from the [•] prior to the Effective Date
will be used to calculate the average performance and
standard deviation. In the event that [•] of historical
data is not available, Flextronics will measure the metric
for [•] before establishing the average and standard
deviation. The calculation will be done at the Product
Family level.





	 	1.	 	For a process that should be
maximized (where a higher metric value is better),
the [•].
	 	2.	 	For a process that should be
minimized, (where a lower metric value is better),
the [•].





	 	(ii)	 	The Minimum Performance Baseline will be
reviewed and adjusted each calendar year as follows;





	 	1.	 	For a process that should be
maximized, the [•] will be the Minimum Performance
Baseline. However, this adjustment will not be lower
than the Initial Minimum Performance Baseline
established at the date of each Product transfer or
any Minimum Performance Baseline in following years,
which ever is better.
	 	2.	 	For a process that should be
minimized, the [•] will be the Minimum Performance
Baseline. However, this adjustment will not be
higher than the Initial Minimum Performance Baseline
established at the date of each Product transfer or
any Minimum Performance Baseline in following years,
which ever is better.





	 	(c)	 	Continuous Improvement Baseline:





	 	(i)	 	The initial Continuous Improvement
Baseline will be the [•] prior to the Effective Date. In
the event that [•] of historical data is not available,
Flextronics will measure the metric for [•] before
establishing the average and standard deviation. The
calculation will be done at the Product Family level.
	 	(ii)	 	The Continuous Improvement Baseline will
be reviewed and adjusted each calendar year as follows;





	 	1.	 	For a process that should be
maximized, the [•] will be the Continuous Improvement
Baseline. However, this adjustment will not be lower
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.
	 	2.	 	For a process that should be
minimized, the [•] will be the Continuous Improvement
Baseline. 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

Product Family as a result of any act or omission within





Master Repair Services Agreement




29









 





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:



	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	After 2 consecutive	 	 	After 3 or more

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.







Master Repair Services Agreement




30









 






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 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





Master Repair Services Agreement




31









 





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.




	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

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





Master Repair Services Agreement




33









 





 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



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.


[•].








Master Repair Services Agreement




34









 






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 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 1st 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





Master Repair Services Agreement




35









 





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 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 Flextronics 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







Master Repair Services Agreement




36









 






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 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.

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.

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

	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.




	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







Master Repair Services Agreement




60









 






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.




	27.11	 	Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial




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.



IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES, WHETHER IT RESULTS IN
PROCEEDINGS IN ANY COURT IN ANY JURISDICTION OR IN ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES
HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND HAVING HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH
COUNSEL, WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL MATTERS
SHALL BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR ARBITRATOR WITHOUT A JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.




	27.12	 	Consent to Jurisdiction




The parties hereto submit to and consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
Courts located in each Province within Canada.




	27.13	 	Entire Agreement; Amendments




This Agreement, including all Exhibits and Schedules thereto, and the other
transaction documents referenced therein, constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties pertaining to the subject matter thereof and such Exhibits
and Schedules thereto are incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties, written
or oral, with respect to such subject matter. No representation or statement of
any kind made by a representative of either Party that is not stated in this
Agreement shall be binding. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or
waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized
representatives of each Party, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement.
