<PAGE>

determined by Sycamore Purchase Order and Celestica's acceptance and
acknowledgment of Sycamore's Purchase Order. All Sycamore Purchase Orders to
Celestica's facilities will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, except
and to the extent that the purchase order varies the terms hereof in accordance
with section 2.1 above and such terms are accepted by Celestica.

     5.1.1  In cases where Celestica provides Sycamore with Recurring Material
     Procurement Service, Sycamore and Celestica shall agree in writing as to
     the pricing terms of such Service, based on Celestica's price as stated in
     the costed Bill of Materials for those materials procured and used in
     Sycamore Products. At the time of quoting a new product for Sycamore which
     will utilize the Recurring Material Procurement Service, Celestica agrees
     to provide to Sycamore a costed Bill of Materials for each Sycamore
     assembly, based on (**) non-binding forecasted quantities for Sycamore's
     review and approval. This unit costing is to consider the total
     requirements for all components or sub-assemblies used on other Sycamore
     assemblies for which Celestica will be providing Recurring Material
     Procurement Services. The pricing agreed upon by the parties shall not
     increase for (**) from the date of quotation. (**) Both parties agree that
     any significant material adjustments shall also be reviewed and passed
     through at issuance of a new Purchase Order by Sycamore, as agreed by the
     parties. Within 10 business days prior to the close of such (**) period,
     Celestica shall provide an updated costed Bill of Materials based on the
     next (**) non-binding forecasted quantities and based on any adjustments
     required as a result of variations between actual deliveries and forecasted
     quantities during the previous (**) period.

5.2  All pricing based on direct labor rates for Recurring Manufacturing Service
(Assembly, Test, and Fabrication) shall be as agreed to in writing by the
parties.

5.3  At any time, in the event of extraordinary increases in the market price of
fuels, raw materials, equipment, labor and/or other items directly contributing
to Celestica's production costs for services for Sycamore, Celestica shall have
the right to request that Sycamore re-negotiate, in good faith, the prices to be
paid for the goods not yet shipped or services not yet performed.  Celestica
shall provide and Sycamore shall have the right to review all documentation
evidencing the extraordinary increases incurred by Celestica.  If, after good
faith negotiations, the parties are unable to resolve repricing, Sycamore and
Celestica shall have the right to terminate the specific service(s) or the
entire Agreement in accordance with the termination for convenience clause as
described in Section 21.

5.4  Celestica shall pay for those taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (such as
Sales Tax, if item is not for resale) where Celestica assembles, tests,
inspects, packages and/or manufactures Sycamore's goods which are directly
imposed upon the goods or services provided by Celestica to Sycamore before
Sycamore takes title to the goods.  Sycamore shall pay for those taxes
associated with the transfer of title from Celestica to Sycamore.

5.5  Celestica agrees to follow Reasonable and Prudent Purchasing Practices
under this Agreement. This includes in relation to the quantities of materials
and/or services placed on order with vendors to meet the requirements of
Sycamore purchase orders. Vendor's minimum container sizes or order quantities
are authorized when the value over Sycamore purchase orders does not exceed (**)
per component part number per Celestica site. Celestica shall receive prior
written approval from Sycamore to procure materials that exceed such (**) over
materials required to meet Sycamore purchase orders.

5.6  Where lead times for materials are at any time longer than the period
covered by Purchase Orders set out in Section 6.2, Celestica shall be entitled
to order such material in accordance with the forecast and such materials' lead
times, as agreed upon by the parties and as reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Celestica will identify for Sycamore that material which is non-cancelable and
non returnable.

6.0  SCHEDULING AND FORECAST
----------------------------

6.1  Authorization for Celestica to ship product to Sycamore is granted only
through shipment releases defined by Sycamore's Purchase Order. The Purchase
Order will include a description of the Services to be purchased, quantity,
routing instructions, requested delivery date, destination and price per this
Agreement. Such Purchase Orders shall constitute the only authorization for
Celestica to expend any money or incur any liabilities for which Celestica may
be reimbursed by Sycamore except as otherwise provided in sections 5.5 and 5.6
of this Agreement.

6.2  Sycamore will place Purchase Orders with Celestica in such a manner that
will provide Celestica with an ongoing (**) visibility of Sycamore's scheduled
delivery requirements.  Purchase Orders may be issued in writing, by mail or
facsimile, or by electronic means as the parties may from time to time agree.
Celestica will acknowledge Purchase Orders as soon as reasonably practicable and
will notify Sycamore of acceptance (or rejection, with the reasons therefor),
of such Purchase Order within (**) of receipt. Any orders which are not rejected
within (**) of receipt shall be deemed accepted. Celestica cannot reject
any Purchase orders which conform to the terms of this Agreement. Celestica
shall be under no obligation to accept Purchase Orders which do not conform to
the terms of this Agreement.

6.3  Sycamore may make changes to shipping instructions, quantities or delivery
schedules specified in the Purchase Order releases as needed throughout the
duration of this Agreement, but in conformance with section 6 and section 7,
unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. Sycamore shall only have liability for
materials covered by accepted Purchase Orders and for material purchased in
accordance with sections 5.5 and 5.6 above; however, Celestica will make all
reasonable efforts to limit liabilities using Reasonable and Prudent Purchasing
Practices.

     6.3.1  Celestica agrees to provide Sycamore with its commercially
            reasonable efforts to expedite Recurring Manufacturing Services at a
            rate greater than the quantity forecasted in the Agreement or
            allowed by Table 6.3.1 contained in Appendix A. In the event
            Celestica anticipates expediting charges, if any, these shall be
            quoted to and authorized in writing by Sycamore prior to Celestica
            committing resources.

     6.3.2  A Delivery Date may be rescheduled only in accordance with Table
            6.3.1 contained in Appendix A (whether in whole or in part),
            provided, however, that if Sycamore's request to reschedule a
            Delivery Date is made between (**) and (**) before the
            originally scheduled delivery date, the rescheduled delivery date
            may be no more than (**) past the original delivery date.
            Celestica may treat any attempt to reschedule outside these
            parameters as a cancellation.

6.4 If Sycamore reschedules a Delivery Date (**) or more past the original
delivery date, Sycamore may have the option of either taking delivery of the
product or paying Celestica an inventory carrying charge of (**). The charge in
this section shall apply to purchase orders placed after the signature date of
this Agreement.

6.5  Sycamore agrees to provide Celestica with a non-binding rolling forecast
for all services updated on Sycamore's quarterly basis. Such forecast will
reflect Sycamore's anticipated requirements for services to be procured during
the next (**). Furthermore, Sycamore and Celestica will schedule quarterly
forecast reviews. These reviews will be scheduled on the earliest mutually
agreeable date for each Sycamore year quarter. Note: The first month of each
Sycamore year quarter are February, May, August and November respectively.
Except as identified herein below, it is understood and agreed by the parties
that these non-binding forecasts are to be used by Celestica for the purpose of
capacity planning with no obligation and no liability on the part of Sycamore to
purchase these services except where Purchase Orders are issued as agreed in
section 6.1.

                                       4
<PAGE>

6.6  Where Sycamore so directs, Celestica will procure materials from Sycamore's
approved vendor list.  Prior to utilizing other vendors of materials, Celestica
will obtain Sycamore's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably
withheld.

7.0  CANCELLATION
-----------------

7.1  If Sycamore cancels any Purchase Order, or any part thereof, within (**)
of the scheduled delivery date or any Purchase Order or any part thereof, for
any prototype, pre production or pilot Purchase Orders or one time Purchase
Orders for Product, Sycamore shall pay to Celestica the full value of the
Purchase Order(s) so cancelled upon review of the charges by Sycamore. Celestica
will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the costs described above.

7.2  The charge in this section 7.2 shall apply to purchase orders placed after
the signature date of the this Agreement. If Sycamore cancels any Purchase Order
beyond (**) of the scheduled delivery date, or part thereof, Sycamore will pay
to Celestica:

(a)  For finished Product at the full Product price;

(b)  All costs of obsolete and/or surplus materials and related handling charges
     determined in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement together with all
     amounts due pursuant to Section 6.1;

(c)  Any investment or costs associated with Non Recurring Manufacturing
     Services which have not been recovered by Celestica from Sycamore through
     amortization or other means and  were incurred by Celestica specifically in
     relation to this Agreement with the prior agreement of Sycamore; and

(d)  The pro-rated portion of the price of the cancelled Purchase Orders that
     relates to Celestica's value add based on the stage in the production
     process for the cancelled Product orders.  Such value add shall be
     determined in accordance with Celestica's normal accounting procedure to
     determine its cost of Work In Progress ("WIP").

7.3  All charges under this section shall be documented and calculated by
Celestica.  Celestica shall provide to Sycamore sufficient documentation in a
reasonable format to support all charges and calculations.

8.0  CHANGES
------------

8.1  Either party may initiate change notices regarding materials or
specifications. The Coordinator of the party initiating such change notices will
document and transmit the proposed change to the other party's Coordinator, who
shall acknowledge receipt. The Recipient of a change notice will use all
reasonable efforts to provide a detailed response including increased costs
within five (5) business days of receipt and in no event later than fifteen (15)
business days of receipt.

8.2  Both parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to implement
change notices as soon as possible.

8.3  The Coordinators shall discuss any change notices and any associated impact
(schedule or financial) and shall mutually agree to any change before it may be
implemented.

8.4  Neither party will unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to a change
notice and the parties will endeavor to agree and implement, at the earliest
opportunity, change notices relating to personal and product safety or
conformance to existing specifications.

                                       5
<PAGE>

8.5  Until a change notice and any associated impact on any relevant contract
have been agreed in writing, the parties will continue to perform their
obligations under the relevant contract without taking account of the change
notice. However, if a change notice indicates that a change is required due to
safety reasons, then no further product will be manufactured without the prior
written consent of Sycamore until the parties have implemented the change
notice.

9.0  OBSOLETE/SURPLUS  MATERIAL
-------------------------------

9.1  When material is for any reason at any time rendered Obsolete or Surplus
Materials and such Obsolete or Surplus Material was ordered by Celestica against
an accepted Purchase Order or pursuant to Sycamore's written permission in
accordance with section 5.5 or 5.6, Celestica will:

(a)  Use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Sycamore within five (5)
     business days and in no event later than fifteen (15) business days
     following the date of the event causing the obsolescence or surplus (the
     "Obsolescence Date") a notice of the potential cost of such obsolescence or
     surplus including relevant handling charges; and

(b)  for a period of (**) from the Obsolescence Date, Celestica will use its
     Reasonable and Prudent Purchasing practices to mitigate Sycamore's
     liability relating to the Obsolete or Surplus materials.

9.2  After such (**) period:

(a)  Celestica will, at Sycamore's risk and expense, be entitled to deliver to
     Sycamore (or if Sycamore so requests, otherwise dispose of) all obsolete or
     surplus materials then held by Celestica once Sycamore has had the right to
     formally review the mitigation efforts. This review shall take no longer
     than (**) after which Celestica shall be entitled to deliver and invoice
     Sycamore for such Product.

(b)  Celestica shall invoice Sycamore for the agreed upon costs, including
     reasonable, documented material handling charges which shall not exceed
     (**) of the material purchase cost, which shall be paid by Sycamore in US
     dollars (**) from date of invoice.

(c)  All charges under this section shall be documented and calculated by
     Celestica. Celestica shall provide to Sycamore sufficient documentation in
     a reasonable format to support all charges and calculations.

10.0 DELIVERY
-------------

10.1 Each Celestica shipment shall be accompanied by a Packing Slip which
includes as a minimum, Sycamore's part number, Purchase Order Number,
Celestica's Part Number, serial number and quantity. Packaging of the material

<PAGE>

Sycamore's purchase orders will pass from Celestica to Sycamore F.O.B. Celestica
premises. Celestica shall use the freight forwarder chosen by Sycamore in its
sole discretion. Celestica shall ship all deliverables purchased under a
Purchase Order F.O.B. shipping point, freight prepaid in Sycamore's behalf so as
to be received, allowing for normal transit times, in accordance with the
schedule specified thereon. Celestica shall invoice Sycamore for freight charges
following delivery of items on Sycamore's purchase orders F.O.B. Celestica
premises.

10.5  Where such delays are caused by Celestica, Celestica shall be liable for
all expediting charges required to meet the delivery schedule set forth and
mutually agreed upon in Sycamore's Purchase Order. Sycamore shall be liable only
for standard lead-time costs and "surface" freight unless previously approved by
Sycamore in writing.

10.6  Sycamore may reject Products which are reasonably established a) to have
been materially damaged by Celestica at the delivery point as defined in 10.4 or

Sycamore in respect of Rejected Products. The cost associated with any such
repair or credit will be the responsibility of Celestica. In the case of
replacement or credit, title of the Rejected Product shall pass to Celestica on
delivery to Celestica. In the event of repair, Sycamore shall bear the expense
of redelivery of the repaired product.

10.9  In the absence of earlier notification of rejection, Sycamore will be
deemed to have accepted Products (**) after delivery, provided, however, that
the related product invoice contains all pertinent information relating to
Sycamore's purchase order and provided, further, that Sycamore's acceptance of
the Products shall in no way be deemed a waiver of warranty claims.

10.10 If, in Sycamore's opinion, late delivery becomes a persistent problem,
then Celestica's management from its Exeter NH facility and its Toronto
Headquarters shall meet with Sycamore management at Sycamore's facility to
discuss and resolve delivery issues in good faith.

11.0  WARRANTY
--------------

Celestica warranty

11.1  Celestica warrants that all services will be performed in a workmanlike
manner in conformity with the mutually agreed to specifications for such

11.2  Sycamore's remedy for breach of the warranty shall be, at Celestica's
option, repair or replacement by Celestica of defective Products returned to
Celestica at a facility of its choice. Prior to returning any Product that
Sycamore claims to be not as warranted by Celestica, Sycamore shall follow
Celestica's reasonable Return Material Authorization ("RMA") Procedures.
Celestica shall promptly provide and shall not unreasonably withhold or delay
the issuance of a RMA number. Celestica shall be responsible for all warranty
expenses plus the costs of outgoing shipment for warranty repair. All repairs
and replacements will be made and Product will be returned to Sycamore, or

pay to Celestica all redelivery costs and a `no defect found' charge determined
by the then current test time per Product for each such Product and the hourly
charge as agreed in writing by the parties. In any instance where Celestica
fails to deliver repaired or replaced Product within (**) of receipt of
defective product, then Sycamore shall be entitled to a credit of the purchase
price of the defective Product at the end of such (**) period. If any returned
Products for which such credit has been issued are subsequently repaired within
(**) of the original date of return, Sycamore agrees to purchase such repaired
Product from Celestica at the previously credited price.

11.3  (**)

(**)

11.4  The above warranties will apply in all circumstances except the following:

(a)   Products which have been misused, modified, damaged, placed in an
      unsuitable physical or operating environment or maintained improperly or
      caused to fail by any product or service not supplied by Celestica or to
      any Products which have been subjected to any repair not authorised in
      writing in advance by Celestica;

(b)   any defect caused by Sycamore or a third party or by an error or omission
      or design or other fault in any Sycamore Information or in any other
      drawings, documentation, data, software, information, know-how or
      Materials provided or specified by Sycamore;

(c)   prototypes and pre-production or pilot versions of Products which will be
      warranted to conform to the Specification; or

(d)   Products which, at Sycamore's specific request, did not undergo
      Celestica's standard inspection and test procedure.

11.5  Celestica will repair and/or upgrade Products which are outside the
warranty period at mutually agreed prices and terms and conditions to be
negotiated by the parties on a per product basis.

11.6  THE FORGOING WARRANTIES ARE  FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF  SYCAMORE AND ARE
CELESTICA'S SOLE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY, AND SYCAMORE'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES,
FOR CLAIMS BASED ON DEFECTS IN OR FAILURE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE

<PAGE>

OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SERVICE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND
CONDITIONS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

11.7  Celestica agrees to maintain in good working order the tooling contracted
by Sycamore as Non Recurring Services for the lifetime of this Agreement or for
a previously agreed upon lifetime of such tooling. Celestica is exempted from
maintaining such Non Recurring Manufacturing Service tooling that has been
obsoleted by Sycamore or for which Sycamore mandated changes have deteriorated
items beyond the scope of general maintenance practices.

Customer Warranty

11.8  Sycamore warrants that to the best of Sycamore's knowledge, Sycamore
information and Sycamore tooling and any other items or information supplied by
Sycamore are accurate and contain all items and information of Sycamore
necessary for Celestica to manufacture and deliver the Products and Services
pursuant to Contracts.

11.9  Celestica will promptly notify Sycamore of any manufacturing problems
which it encounters and believes are related to the Product design or any
Sycamore Information or Sycamore tooling. The parties will jointly determine
whether such manufacturing problems are attributable to the Product design or
any Sycamore information or Sycamore tooling. Where such problems are so
attributable, Sycamore will be responsible for all actual costs incurred by
Celestica to implement a mutually agreed to correction plan to correct such
problems. Celestica will not implement any changes to the Product design or any
Sycamore information or Sycamore tooling without Sycamore's prior approval.
Where any such changes result in the delay of any scheduled delivery date for
Product, Celestica will have no liability for such resulting delay and Sycamore
may not cancel any orders for Products affected thereby.
