levy or attachment against, substantially all of Stratus assets.

6.03 Order Acknowledgement/Acceptance. NEC shall acknowledge receipt of each Purchase Order
within one (1) business day of its initial receipt thereof and shall send to Stratus, within two
(2) business days of its initial receipt of said a written notice rejecting the Purchase Order and
specifying the reasons for such rejection. With the exception of the limitations set forth in
Section 27 (Force Majeure) NEC shall not reject any Purchase Order issued by Stratus that is
within the Committed Forecast and that otherwise complies with the requirements of this Agreement
and agreed to credit limit.

6.04 Electronic Order Fulfillment. Appendix 7 sets forth the mutually agreed, secure
electronic business-to-business (“B2B”) order placement and fulfillment process. Unless otherwise

(3) months following the date on which the particular Product is shipped to the first
customer
following its release for general availability (“First Customer Ship Date” or “FCS”).

Threshold is defined as the number of Purchase Orders which will be exempt from any fees.

SECTION 8. MATERIAL INVENTORY AND LIABILITY

8.01
Surplus Material. Each quarter NEC will review its ending inventory position and
compare this to the Committed Forecast. Any inventory levels on hand in excess of sixty
(60) days of the consumption levels contemplated pursuant to the Committed Forecast shall
be considered Surplus Material (“Surplus Material”), NEC shall charge Stratus, and Stratus
agrees to pay carrying charges for such Surplus Material at the rate of one and one half
percent (1.50%) of the direct, documented material cost per month
(“Carrying Charge”) and
NEC shall retain the Surplus Material for up to ninety (90) more days whereupon such
material shall become excess material (“Excess Material”). NEC agrees that the Carrying
Charge assessed to Stratus will be no greater than the carrying charge paid by NEC to its
Contract Manufacturer.

8.02
Excess Material. Stratus shall purchase any Excess Material within thirty (30) days
of it becoming Excess Material. Stratus agrees to pay NEC for its normal actual out-of-
pocket acquisition costs of those materials plus normal handling charges. In addition Stratus
will pay Carrying Charges for the Excess Material but only for inventory on hand and not for
material on order, but not yet delivered to NEC.

8.03
Holding and Consumption of Excess Material. NEC will continue, at Stratus’ option,
to hold Excess Material subject to the Carrying Charge. Should Stratus request NEC hold
the
Excess Material, and Stratus consumes some or all of the inventory in the production of
Product by NEC at a later date, NEC will then credit back to Stratus the acquisition cost
paid,
in an amount equal to the inventory consumed. At its option, NEC shall either assist
Stratus

8

 

in developing a mutually agreeable disposition plan for such Excess Materials or ship, at Stratus’
risk and expense, such Excess Materials to the location specified by Stratus. In addition NEC
shall undertake reasonable commercial effort to minimize inventory on hand and on order through
execution of best material planning and procurement practices. NEC shall undertake reasonable
commercial efforts to minimize material inventory on hand due to Surplus Material, Excess
Material, obsolete material, cancellations, changes and discontinued Products, including canceling
all applicable material purchase orders and reduce component inventory through return for credit
programs or allocate components for alternate programs or customers, if applicable. Excess
Material, obsolete Products and purchased Surplus Material shall be delivered Ex Works, NEC’s
factory.

8.04 Component End of Life. NEC will have internal processes in place to provide Stratus
with any supplier End of Life or Process Change Notices received by NEC from a Component supplier.
Such processes will provide Stratus with the supplier’s Component part number that will be subject
to an End of Life status or that is being changed by the supplier, the timeframe for the supplier
action, the projected impact of the action based upon the Committed Forecast currently in place
and any proposed alternate sources that have been investigated by NEC that could be qualified as a
replacement for the Component that will be subject to an End of Life status or that is being
changed. NEC will provide Stratus with not less than ninety (90) days written notification of all
such changes in the design, configuration or status of a Component. NEC and Stratus will mutually
agree on appropriate inventory strategies and qualification processes associated with any End of
Life and Process Change Notice activity.

SECTION 9. PRICING

9.01
Price. The Transfer Price for Products purchased under this Agreement shall be as follows:

	 	•	 	Joint Products: With the exception of Development Systems and Beta Systems (each
as described below), Stratus shall pay Actual Manufacturing Cost for all Joint Products
that it purchases under this Agreement:

	 	a)	 	Development Systems: Stratus shall pay Actual Manufacturing Cost up to
two times the Committed Cost for the relevant Joint Product;
	 
	 	b)	 	Beta Systems: Stratus shall pay Actual Manufacturing Cost up to 1.5
times the Committed Cost for the relevant Joint Product.

	 	•	 	NEC Independent Derivative Products: Stratus shall pay the Transfer Price set
forth in the applicable section of Appendix 5.
	 
	 	•	 	Stratus Independent Derivative Products: Stratus shall pay the Transfer Price
set forth in the applicable section of Appendix 6.

9.02 Cost Disclosure and Cost Review. Stratus and NEC agree to regularly and no less than
quarterly review product costs using the agreed Cost Bucket profile. NEC shall provide full
disclosure to Stratus of the Actual Manufacturing Cost of each Product under the Cost

9

 

Bucket profile. NEC will provide full Bill of Material information including vendor part numbers
for Joint Products per the Collaboration Agreement. To begin the review process Stratus will
provide two (2) system configurations to NEC to be reviewed. NEC will prepare a cost report on
each configuration using the agreed Cost Bucket profile and provide it to Stratus for Stratus
review and feedback. Stratus will also analyze part costs for the same configurations and if
Stratus believes there is a discrepancy between NEC and Stratus reported costs Stratus will report
this discrepancy to NEC immediately. NEC is responsible for explaining the reason for the
difference and commits to taking any necessary actions to close the gap as quickly as possible.
This process will occur no less than quarterly. The parties will mutually agree on a final
resolution.

9.03 Currency. All elements of Actual Manufacturing Cost shall be recorded in the currency
in which they are paid or incurred by NEC, and amounts that are not denominated in U.S. Dollars
will be converted to U.S. Dollars as a total sum using a conversion rate mutually-agreed by the
parties. With respect to conversions of Japanese Yen to U.S. Dollars, the parties will use the
trailing twelve month average (“TTM”) as reported in Wall Street Journal. The TTM rate for a
calendar quarter shall be set at the average TTM rate during the last month of the immediately

Exhibit 10(p)

AGREEMENT FOR MANAGEMENT ADVISORY,

STRATEGIC PLANNING AND

CONSULTING SERVICES

          THIS AGREEMENT is made effective as of the first day of October 2005 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between Investcorp International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“III”), and
Stratus Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Stratus”).

          WHEREAS, III, by and through its officers, employees, agents and affiliates has developed in
connection with the conduct of its business and affairs various areas of expertise in the fields of
management, finance, marketing, and strategic planning;

          WHEREAS, III and Stratus entered into that certain Agreement for Management Advisory,
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services, dated February 8, 1999, whereby III rendered services
to Stratus in connection with Ill’s expertise in the areas hereinabove enumerated; and

          WHEREAS, Stratus desires to continue to avail itself of the expertise of III in those areas
hereinabove enumerated and in which III is acknowledged to have expertise, for a period of one (1)
year from the Effective Date, said 1-year period being referred to as the “Term”;

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

          1. Appointment. Stratus hereby appoints III to render management advisory, strategic
planning and consulting services to Stratus on an exclusive basis during the Term as herein
contemplated. This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive 1-year periods unless
terminated by either party for any reason by written notice to the other party at least thirty (30)
days prior to the end of the then current 1-year period.

          2. III. During the Term, III shall render to Stratus, by and through such of its
officers, employees, agents and affiliates as III, in its sole discretion, shall designate from
time to time, management advisory, strategic planning and consulting services. Said services shall
consist of advice concerning management, finance, marketing, strategic planning, and such other
services as shall be requested from time to time by the Board of Directors of Stratus, including
general advice concerning (i) any permitted financing, refinancing, sale, transfer, sale and
leaseback or other permitted disposition of any assets of Stratus Technologies Group, S.A., a
Luxembourg société anonyme (“Holdings”) or its subsidiaries and (ii) any permitted purchase or
acquisition of stock or assets by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. Stratus acknowledges and
agrees that the services to be provided by III hereunder do not encompass services that would be
required in connection with a specific acquisition, restructuring, financing, refinancing or
initial public offering by Stratus, or a specific private sale of the stock or assets of Stratus.
Should Stratus desire to engage III to provide financial advisory services in connection with any
such specific transaction, such engagement shall be subject to the negotiation of mutually
acceptable fee arrangements for such additional services, albeit the indemnification obligations of
Stratus as set forth in paragraph 7 of this Agreement shall apply to any such additional services
performed by III.

 

 

          3.
Fees. In consideration of III’s performance of the above-described services,
Stratus shall pay to III, in cash, a consulting services fee of $450,000 (the “Fee”). It is
recognized that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Stratus is committed to pay the full
amount payable hereunder, and the Fee, once paid, is non-refundable. The full amount of the Fee for
the entire Term shall be paid upon execution of this Agreement, and, unless this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 1 hereto, on each anniversary of the Effective Date.

          4.
 Reimbursements. Within 15 calendar days of delivery of III’s invoice, Stratus shall
reimburse III for its actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of
services pursuant to this Agreement.

          5. Default. In the event that Stratus fails to pay any part of the Fee as set forth in
Paragraph 3 above when and as due, and Stratus does not cure such failure prior to the 10th day of
the month following the month in which such payment is due, then Stratus shall be in default under
this Agreement and III shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the unpaid portion of the
Fee upon making written demand upon Stratus for such payment. Upon delivery of such written demand,
III shall be excused from rendering any further services pursuant to this Agreement. The aforesaid
right and privilege of III to withhold services is intended to be in addition to any and all other
remedies available because of Stratus’ default, including III’s right to payment of all fees set
forth herein. Further, in the event of a default by Stratus, Stratus agrees to reimburse III for
any and all costs and expenses incurred by III, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel
fees and expenses, in connection with such default and any litigation or other proceedings
instituted for the collection of payments due hereunder.

          6. Permissible Activities. Nothing herein shall in any way preclude III from engaging
in any business activities or from performing services for its own account or for the account of
others.

          7. Indemnification. Stratus shall indemnify and hold harmless III and its directors,
officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each being an “Indemnified Party”) from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or otherwise,
relating to or arising out of the management, strategic planning and consulting services
contemplated by, this Agreement. Stratus shall reimburse any Indemnified Party for all costs and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the
investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or
proceeding arising there from, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party. Stratus shall not
be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted primarily from the bad faith or gross negligence of III.

          8. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent
to any departure by either party from any such provision, shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement and then such amendment,
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given.

          9. Notices. Any and all notices hereunder shall, in the absence of receipted hand
delivery, be deemed duly given when mailed, if the same shall be sent by registered or

2

 

certified mail, return receipt requested, and the mailing date shall be deemed the date from which
all time periods pertaining to a date of notice shall run. Notices shall be addressed to the
