 “Products purchased under Attachment F to this SOW may be subject to an annual Software Maintenance and

annual Software Maintenance and Support program shall be automatically renewed for all units of Product which remain eligible under the preceding sentence, unless cancelled by Buyer effective as of the end of a calendar quarter with ninety
(90) days prior written notice to Supplier. If the Maintenance and Support Program is cancelled by Buyer, Supplier is no longer obligated to provide Software Maintenance and Support to Buyer. The fees for each year of this annual Software
Maintenance and Support program for a unit of Product shall be listed as the Annual Software Maintenance and Support Fee per Unit in Schedule 1 to Attachment F. 

“For the convenience of the Buyer, [**] of annual Software Maintenance and Support shall be billed to Buyer with each unit of Product

 SCHEDULE 2 to 

ATTACHMENT F 

FULFILLMENT 
  

	3.2	Product Hubbing/Consignment 

  

	 	3.2.1	Hub Arrangement. “Hub Product” shall mean any Supplier Product listed in Schedule 1 to Attachment F. The following terms and conditions will apply to
any Hub Product(s) for which an agreement has been executed between and among Supplier, Buyer, and/or third party (“Hub Provider”) to allow such Hub Product to be shipped to and held in a third party’s warehouse (or warehouses)
(“Hub(s)”). 

  

	 	  	Hubs will be established for IBM’s third party fulfillment partners [**]. The parties reserve the right to discuss the addition of a Hub in other location(s),
subject to the mutual written agreement of the parties. 

  

	 	  	The parties will mutually agree to any incremental hubbing costs associated with the hubbing arrangement, such as freight cost to hub destinations and warehousing fees
prior to any performance, by documenting in SOW 8 Attachment F, Schedule 1 Product Price List and Description the amount of incremental hubbing costs which Supplier may include in the Product price. The parties agree to periodically review a
breakdown of such hubbing costs to determine if changes in the logistics will change this cost. 

  

	 	3.2.2	Hub Stocking On a weekly basis Buyer, or Hub Provider, will provide a 13-week rolling forecast to Supplier showing the demand for the Hub Products to be sent to
the Hub(s) and such quantities shall be identified by the specific geographic locations of the Hubs (“Hub Forecast”). Supplier agrees to ship quantities of such Product to the Hubs sufficient to meet at least [**] weeks of demand, and at
most [**]weeks of demand, both of which are based on the forward-looking [**]week period forecast (“Minimum Stock Level”). Should Buyer pull more than the Hub Forecast amount, Supplier will have [**]weeks to restock the Hub to the Minimum
Stock Level. The Minimum Stock Level will include the balance of the Hub Product physically in the Hub location available for immediate sale (“On-Hand Balance”) plus the Hub Product en route to the hub location scheduled for arrival within
the transit lead time for that Hub (“In-Transit Balance”). Supplier may reduce Hub inventory to zero only when there is no demand reflected in each week of the Hub Forecast for the forward-looking [**] week period. If forecast is
significantly higher than normal run rates, Buyer will work with Supplier to review Hub inventory levels and adjust as mutually agreed upon. 

  

	 	3.2.3	Ship Performance Supplier’s goal will be to satisfy a [**] Product Availability rate at each Hub location. “Product Availability” is defined as
Hub Products being available for purchase (“pull” from On-Hand Balance) by Hub Provider at the time a valid pull notification is received. At the beginning of each calendar quarter, Buyer and Supplier may discuss the above Product
Availability rate goal. Should the parties agree that the Product Availability rate goal was not achieved, Supplier will immediately acknowledge the deficiency. Within [**] days of such acknowledgement, Supplier will investigate the root cause of
such failure to achieve the Product Availability goal, and will develop an appropriate corrective action plan. Hub Product pull requests in excess of Hub Forecast will not be used in the calculation of the Product Availability rate, nor in the
determination of root cause. In addition, should Supplier experience constrained supply situation, the allocation provisions of SOW8 Section 4.1 “Allocation of Product Supply” shall apply. 

 

 [**] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. 
 IBM Brocade/Confidential 

	 	3.2.4	Shipping Supplier will be responsible for shipping charges of the Hub Product from Supplier’s point of origin to the Hub. Pursuant to Section 1.0 of
this Schedule 2 to Attachment F these costs may be included in the Product price. All shipments from the Hub will be EXW the Hub, and Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges thereafter. Buyer will act as the importer of record for all Hub
Product shipped from the Hub and will be responsible for associated customs, duty, and Value Add Tax (VAT) administration. Title to and risk of loss of the Hub Product will pass to Buyer upon physical removal of such Hub Product from Brocade’s
designated area within the applicable Hub. 

  

	 	3.2.5	Product Discontinuance for Products Held in Hub Discontinuance of any Hub Product shall be in accordance with the terms set forth in the SOW. The parties agree
to work together to minimize the liability of each party upon end-of-life notice of a Hub Product.
