 c. STRATUS shall provide Benchmark with such technical assistance as is reasonably necessary to enable
the Services to be performed by Benchmark according to the Specifications (Attachment B). 
  

	3.	Service Quantity Forecast and Ordering Rules/Shipment and Delivery 

  
 a. As outlined in Attachments A and B, Benchmark shall deliver Product to STRATUS and/or to its customers as designated in STRATUS’ purchase orders
and any revisions thereto. STRATUS shall provide Benchmark a twelve month rolling forecast. The forecast is an estimation of its Product quantity requirements and will be adjusted by STRATUS monthly or more frequently as required. Based on the then
current STRATUS forecast provided to Benchmark, STRATUS authorizes Benchmark to provide resources, capacity and material to support the Product demand for the then current 12 month rolling forecast. Except as specified in a STRATUS purchase order,
or as may be agreed to in writing by STRATUS, the forecast provided to Benchmark does not represent a commitment by STRATUS to purchase the Products so forecasted; however, STRATUS shall be responsible for all materials and/or components purchased,
processed, and/or converted into sub-assemblies and/or Products by Benchmark pursuant to STRATUS’ purchase order and/or then-current 12 month rolling forecast provided such material was planned and procured using generally acknowledged best
materials management practices, as more specifically provided for in Attachment D (Materials Liability Model and Debug Dog Products). 
  
 b. Purchase orders for Products shall be issued by STRATUS (or its subsidiaries or affiliates) using the STRATUS Oracle system. The parties hereby agree
that Stratus’ subsidiaries and/or affiliates may purchase the Products and/or Services specified under this Agreement from Benchmark, provided that all such purchases shall be governed exclusively by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Fax or hardcopy purchase orders may also be issued by STRATUS, but this shall be the exception. The term “sales orders”, as used in the STRATUS Oracle system shall mean and refer to purchase orders. All purchase orders shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and contain: (i) Product description, (ii) quantity, (iii) routing instructions, (iv) requested shipment date(s), (v) destination, and (vi) confirmation of price. The term “ shipment date”
appearing on STRATUS’ purchase orders or any change order means the date Products are shipped from Benchmark’s facility to the delivery location designated by STRATUS. 
  
 c. Within two (2) business days after receipt of any purchase order, Benchmark will provide STRATUS with written
acknowledgment accepting the purchase order or rejecting the order and stating the reasons therefore. Benchmark shall not reject any purchase order issued by STRATUS that is in compliance with and conforms to the requirements of this Agreement, is
within the quantities specified in STRATUS’ rolling 12 month forecast, is in compliance with configuration rules provided by STRATUS to Benchmark and is accepted and inputted into Benchmark’s BaaN system. On acceptance of a purchase order,
Benchmark shall confirm the requested delivery date. If STRATUS does not receive notice of Benchmark’s rejection of a purchase order, within the two (2) day period, the purchase order shall be deemed accepted provided the actual receipt of such
purchase order by Benchmark has been confirmed. 
  

 4 

 Benchmark will ship all Continuum Products specified in Attachment A by no later than 10 calendar days (5
calendar days for add-on orders) following Benchmark’s receipt of Stratus’ purchase order or on the shipment date specified by the purchase order, whichever is later, provided that such purchase orders are within the quantities forecasted
in STRATUS’ rolling 12 month forecast and which meet current order configuration rules provided by Stratus to Benchmark and accepted by Benchmark. 
  
 d. For Continuum Products specified in Attachment A and for new Products, Benchmark will exercise reasonable commercial efforts to accommodate
STRATUS’ request for forecast increases subject to component and manufacturing capacity availability. The prices set forth herein or as may be quoted by Benchmark shall not include any premium for expediting components, for overtime labor
charges or for any other overtime which may be required from time to time by Benchmark to accommodate STRATUS forecast increases. Benchmark acknowledges that fifty percent (50%) of STRATUS’ shipment of Products in each calendar quarter are
expected to occur during the last week and a half of each such quarter, and Benchmark represents that it has the capacity and the capability to meet STRATUS’ requirements hereunder, provided such shipments are in line with the quantities
forecasted in STRATUS’ rolling 12 month forecast. Benchmark agrees to provide Products and Services in sufficient quantities and at such times as shall enable STRATUS to meet such requirements, provided such quantities are in line with the
quantities forecasted in STRATUS’ rolling 12 month forecasts. 
  
 e. STRATUS may cancel purchase orders without liability; provided, however, that STRATUS shall be liable to Benchmark for materials inventory in accordance with Attachment D (Materials Liability Model) and any cancellation charges assessed
by component vendors against Benchmark. 
  
 Any liability of
STRATUS for Excess Components (as defined in Attachment D) or end of life (“EOL”) materials shall be governed by the Material Liability Model in Attachment D. 
  
 f. Benchmark will deliver Products and perform Services in accordance with the date(s) and in the manner specified in the
applicable purchase order. Benchmark acknowledges and agrees that time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. The shipment term for all delivery of Products shall be Ex Works (Incoterm 2000) Benchmark’ Dublin, Ireland facility.

  
 g. Benchmark hereby acknowledges that any late delivery,
determined by reference to the commit date in Benchmark’s order acknowledgment, or in STRATUS’ purchase order, if no acknowledgement is received within the time required, shall be deemed a material breach of Benchmark’s obligations
under this Agreement entitling STRATUS, without limitation of other rights and remedies, to reject items delivered late. STRATUS may require that Benchmark utilize expedited, fastest way possible delivery modes, for Products that are delayed by
Benchmark. Any premiums associated with such expedited delivery modes shall be the sole responsibility of Benchmark. STRATUS may require delivery of Products in installments within a thirty (30) day period and may specify the dates of delivery and
the quantity of each installment. 
  

 5 

 h. Prices for Products do not include (i) freight, export licensing of the Product, or payment of
broker’s fees, duties, tariffs, or other similar charges; all such charges shall be paid for directly by STRATUS, or such charges shall be charged to STRATUS; (ii) taxes or charges (other than those based on Benchmark’s net income) imposed
by any taxing authority upon the manufacture, sale, shipment, storage, “value add” or use of the Product which Benchmark is obligated to pay or collect; any such taxes or charges shall be charged to STRATUS unless STRATUS provides
Benchmark with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the applicable taxing authority; (iii) set-up, tooling, or non-recurring engineering activities (collectively “NRE Charges”), which shall be separately stated and invoiced. With
respect to freight, Benchmark shall prepay such charges and invoice STRATUS for such transportation charges on a monthly basis. Benchmark shall put the Products in the possession of a STRATUS designated carrier for shipment of the Products. STRATUS
shall have the right to inspect and test Products received from Benchmark to determine if the Products conform to STRATUS’ Specifications and purchase order. STRATUS shall notify Benchmark in writing of any non-conformance, including shortage,
within thirty (30) days after STRATUS’ receipt of each shipment. Acceptance of the Product shall occur no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Product. Product shall be deemed accepted if not rejected within the 30-day period. Once
a Product is accepted, all Product returns shall be handled in accordance with Section 8 (Warranty). Benchmark agrees to provide STRATUS with routing information for shipping the Products to the location designed by STRATUS on its purchase orders,
and to review rate structures and shipping routings with STRATUS on a quarterly basis. 
  

	4.	Changes/Additional Costs 

  
 “Engineering Change” means a mechanical, electrical, piece part or subassembly design or specification change made to a Product or to any
assembly or testing method, procedure or process which, if made, could affect the schedule, performance, reliability, availability, serviceability, appearance, dimensions, tolerances, safety or costs (collectively “Characteristics”) of a
Product or Service. Benchmark will respond in writing within five (5) business days of receipt of any written STRATUS request that Benchmark incorporate a non-critical Engineering Change into a Product or Services. For critical changes, as
determined jointly by STRATUS and Benchmark, Benchmark will respond within twenty-four (24) hours of STRATUS’ written request. The response will state the (i) cost savings or increase, (ii) labor, inventory and scrap material impact, if any,
expected to be created by the Engineering Change, (iii) the proposed introduction plan and date of the Engineering Change, (iv) the effect on Characteristics of the Product or Services and (v) the changes, if any, in the composition of BOM. The
projected cost savings or cost increase is based on the date and plan for introduction of the Engineering Change and the then current forecast detailing the projected utilization rate for the part(s) or assembl(ies) that are subject to the
Engineering Change. If the actual utilization rate differs from the projected (forecasted) utilization rate, the introduction date of the Engineering Change or the cost of the Engineering Change may be altered based upon the agreement of the
Parties. If STRATUS requests Benchmark to incorporate an Engineering Change into the Products or Services, the applicable Specifications (Attachment B) will be amended as required, subject to mutual agreement on reimbursement of Benchmark’s
extra costs (including labor, manufacturing supplies and inventory) as described above as a result of the Engineering Change. Benchmark shall not incorporate any Engineering Changes without STRATUS’ written authorization.

	5.	Components/Tooling and Equipment 

  
 a. If STRATUS consigns any parts to Benchmark, the parties shall agree upon inspection and handling procedures prior to shipment of the parts to
Benchmark. Benchmark shall provide STRATUS, on a monthly basis, a reference list showing quantity on hand and quantity on order of all long-lead time, high-cost components used in the performance of Services. 
  
 b. Benchmark will acquire or develop, at STRATUS’ cost, certain
non-recurring engineering tooling and/or fixtures (the “NRE Tooling”) only upon receipt of written authorization or applicable purchase order from STRATUS. At its option, STRATUS may provide such NRE tooling to Benchmark subject to the
Equipment Loan Agreement in Attachment C (Equipment Loan Agreement). 
  
 c. STRATUS may, from time to time, and at no cost to Benchmark and pursuant to Attachment C, loan certain functional test equipment (“Test Equipment”) to Benchmark, solely for the purpose of performing functional tests and repair
on the Services. Any such Test Equipment shall be listed in Attachment C (Test Equipment). Benchmark shall (i) exercise reasonable care in the use and custody of Test Equipment solely for purposes of performing its obligations hereunder, (ii)
perform regular maintenance on Test Equipment at no charge, excluding replacement of parts for which STRATUS will be billed; provided, however, that STRATUS will not pay for replacement of parts which are damaged by Benchmark, and (iii) repair
and/or update Test Equipment at a reasonable charge, unless such Test Equipment was damaged by Benchmark. Replacement of non-repairable Test Equipment is subject to STRATUS’ verification of the condition. STRATUS and Benchmark shall work
together to develop a preventive maintenance plan for each piece of Test Equipment. 
  
 d. Where NRE tooling and Test Equipment are the property of STRATUS, Benchmark shall not mortgage, pledge, assign or borrow against, or otherwise create or attempt to create a security interest in, the NRE Tooling and
Test Equipment. Benchmark shall, at STRATUS’ cost, return to STRATUS, or assign at STRATUS’ written direction, any or all NRE Tooling and Test Equipment owned or paid for by STRATUS upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or
receipt of STRATUS’ written request therefore. Benchmark shall provide STRATUS a written inventory list of all NRE Tooling and Test Equipment every six (6) months. 
  

	6.	Quality Acceptance and Requirements 

  
 a. Benchmark shall (i) provide Products and perform workmanship inspection and electrical functional tests on such Products in accordance with Attachments
A and B and (ii) provide to STRATUS statistical process control data on critical processes, including yield and failure analysis reports detailing the cause of such failure(s). Such reports shall be provided on a weekly basis in a format agreed upon
by the parties. 
  
 b. Benchmark shall ensure that the Products
meet the applicable Specifications (Attachments A & B) and are tested and inspected prior to shipment in accordance with applicable quality and reliability testing methods and procedures set forth in the applicable Specifications. Benchmark will
deliver to STRATUS only those Products conforming to the 

  

 7 

 
applicable test requirements, unless it has obtained prior written approval from STRATUS for a deviation. Each shipment of Products is subject to
STRATUS’ quality inspection and testing on STRATUS’ premises or on Benchmark’s premises, at STRATUS’ option. STRATUS shall have the right to conduct such inspection and testing at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to
Benchmark. If any quality inspection and/or test is performed on Benchmark’s premises (“Source Inspection”), Benchmark shall provide STRATUS’ inspector(s) with reasonable facilities and assistance at no additional charge.
Benchmark’s outgoing quality shall be based on the System Install Quality report utilized by STRATUS as of the date of this Agreement. The quality goal level required for all Products will be set by the parties on or shortly after the
commencement date of this Agreement and shall be reviewed and reset by the parties at the beginning of each quarterly period based on the results of the year to date System Install Quality Report. 
  
 c. The shipment by STRATUS to Benchmark (i) of rejected Products or (ii) of
defective IN WARRANTY Products (as defined in Section 8) and the return shipment by Benchmark to STRATUS of replacement or repaired Products shall be at Benchmark’s sole expense, and STRATUS shall be responsible for in-transit risk of loss of
or damage to such Products. Each Product repaired by Benchmark under Section 8 (Warranty) and returned to STRATUS shall exhibit an identifying mark to indicate such Products were repaired pursuant to STRATUS’ reasonable written requirements.
Such requirements shall be mutually agreed by the parties, but to be substantially similar to the requirements that are currently in place. 
  

	7.	Prices 

  
 a. This subsection 7.a sets forth the terms and conditions for the Pricing of Products ordered by and shipped to Stratus during the period commencing on
February 28, 2002 and ending on February 28, 2005. Except for any adjustments for Standard Material Costs as described in subsection 7.a.(3) below, the Prices for Products, as specified in the price list dated March 1, 2002 generated by
Benchmark’s BaaN system and already provided to STRATUS (which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement), ordered by and shipped to STRATUS shall be fixed and shall consist of two (2) components: the Standard
Material Cost for each Product, and the Benchmark Value Add amount. 
  
 1. The Standard Material Costs shall be as contained in the Benchmark Baan system for the items comprising the configuration of each Product, as described in the STRATUS Bill of Material (BOM) for each Product
configuration, subject to adjustment quarterly as described below. 
  
 2. Benchmark Value Add shall consist of all manufacturing costs, expenses (exclusive only of Standard Material Costs), and shall be a flat rate fixed at (***)% of the Standard Material Cost for the Product for the
term of the Agreement. 
  
 3. Before the end of
the last month of each quarterly period of this Agreement (May, August, November, February), the Parties shall review the Standard Material Costs of the Products and where costs have materially changed, based on actual increases or decreases
incurred by Benchmark for the BOM for each Product from the STRATUS approved suppliers in that quarter, as verified by Benchmark to STRATUS 

  

 8 

 
with supporting documentation of such change in material cost, such Material Costs of the Products shall be increased or decreased consistent with
Benchmark’s documented Material Costs. Any such adjustments shall be reflected in the STRATUS Oracle system and shall apply to open purchase orders in which Products have not yet been shipped to STRATUS. No retroactive price adjustments shall
be made. 
  
 b. Benchmark will diligently pursue cost improvement
opportunities for each and every element of price to reduce the cost of the Products/Services, including recommending design or process changes, or new sources which may result in an overall cost reduction. For a period of six (6) months following
implementation of any such new sources, design or process changes recommended by Benchmark and approved by STRATUS, Benchmark will retain the full benefit of such reduction in cost. Thereafter, Benchmark shall pass on to STRATUS one hundred (100%)
of all such cost reductions. Benchmark shall pass on to STRATUS one hundred percent (100%) of all cost reductions resulting from new sources, design or process changes recommended by STRATUS. 
  
 c. Benchmark shall deliver to STRATUS an invoice for each shipment of
Products or Services ordered pursuant hereto on or after the date that Benchmark delivers the Products or performs the Services. Each invoice shall contain the following information: STRATUS’ order number, STRATUS’ part number, a
description of the Products or Services delivered to STRATUS or performed, quantities and unit prices. Correct invoices shall be due and payable in full within thirty (30) days after date of invoice. The purchase price of the Products or Services
shall be subject to set-off for claims of STRATUS, upon mutual agreement. No charges other than those described above will be allowed without prior written consent of STRATUS. 
  
 d. The amount of any present sales, use, excise or other similar tax applicable to the Products or Services not measured by
income of Benchmark shall be paid by STRATUS, or in lieu thereof, STRATUS shall provide Benchmark with a tax exemption number or, at Benchmark’s request, with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authority. Any taxes to be paid
by STRATUS shall be separately stated on Benchmark’s invoice and, if not shown, shall be deemed included in the invoice price and will be paid over to the proper authorities by Benchmark or reimbursed by Benchmark to STRATUS on demand in the
event STRATUS is responsible or demand is made upon STRATUS for the payment thereof. 
  

	8.	Warranty 

  
 a. Benchmark warrants that the Products specified in Attachment A shall conform to the applicable Specifications and the Product shall be free from
defects in workmanship for a period of three (3) months after the date of shipment. The term “workmanship” shall mean manufacture in accordance with IPC-A-610, Class 2 or STRATUS’ workmanship standards set forth in the Specifications.
Benchmark will also pass through to STRATUS any and all materials warranties received from the applicable materials manufacturers to the extent they are transferable, but shall not independently warrant any materials or components. 
  
 The above warranty shall not be applicable to Products (A) that are misused,
modified, damaged, placed in an unsuitable physical or operating environment or maintained improperly, or (B) caused to fail by any product or service not supplied by Benchmark, or (C) repaired by 

  

 9 

 
anyone other than Benchmark, or (D) the defects are based upon design of the Product, including, but not limited to, design functionality failures,
specification inadequacies, (E) the defects are caused by defective STRATUS provided equipment and/or software, or (F) debug dog Products as specified in Attachments D and E. 
  
 STRATUS may return Products to the same Benchmark facility from which such Products were originally shipped. Benchmark will
be notified in advance on all Products to be returned. STRATUS shall obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number from Benchmark prior to return shipment. All returns shall state the specific reason for such return, and will be processed in
accordance with Benchmark’s RMA Procedure, a copy of which is available from Benchmark. At Benchmark’s sole election, Benchmark shall repair, replace, or refund the price of the Product to STRATUS. If Benchmark elects to repair or replace
the Product, Benchmark will use its reasonable commercial efforts to repair or replace the nonconforming Products within fifteen (15) business days. Any repaired or replaced Product shall be warranted as set forth in this Section for a period equal
to the greater of (i) the balance of the applicable warranty period relating to such Product or (ii) ninety (90) days after it is received by STRATUS. 
  
 Benchmark’s liability for Products and Services performed hereunder is limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts supplied as part of
the Service or credit for the defective Product or Service and shall in no way include liability for consequential, special, indirect or incidental damages. This warranty is in lieu of all other implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, or infringement. 
  
 b. In the event
of a Product failure due to defects in the materials, design or workmanship of Products or the performance of the Products or Services, the parties shall immediately work together to conduct a failure analysis. The purpose of the analysis is to
identify the nature of the failure and determine whether it results from components, the assembly process or the Specifications. Benchmark shall create a written failure analysis report documenting the parties’ findings. The party responsible
for the defect, at its expense, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any such defect, provided that Benchmark shall have no responsibility to correct such defect unless it determines the defect to be covered by Benchmark’s
warranty specified above in Section 8(a). If the parties cannot agree on the source of the defect, they shall negotiate in good faith an equitable allocation of the cost of resolving the problem and cooperate in good faith to identify the most
cost-effective solution. 
  
 c. STRATUS hereby represents and
warrants to Benchmark that the equipment and/or software provided to Benchmark pursuant to Attachment C (Stratus Equipment Loan Agreement), Trademarks, Technology and/or other Intellectual Property Rights (whether owned by or licensed to STRATUS)

terms and conditions below shall govern the loan of the STRATUS Services, Tooling and/or Test Equipment listed on the attached Equipment Schedule (“Equipment”) by STRATUS to Benchmark. 
  

	1.	Except as may be stated otherwise in the Equipment Schedule, STRATUS and Benchmark agree that the Equipment has been previously delivered to Benchmark (the “Equipment”).
The loan period for the Equipment shall commence as of the date of receipt by Benchmark and thereafter be co-terminus with the Manufacturing Service and Product Agreement (the “Loan Period”). Benchmark shall utilize the Equipment in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement solely for purposes of performing its obligations under the Manufacturing Services and Product Agreement, dated February 27, 2002, between Benchmark and STRATUS (the “Manufacturing
Agreement”). 

  

	2.	Delivery of all Equipment shall be Delivered Duty Paid (Incoterm 2000) Benchmark’s manufacturing facility in Dublin, Ireland. Title to and ownership of the Equipment are and
shall at all times remain with STRATUS. Benchmark shall not perform any act inconsistent with STRATUS’ title to and ownership of the Equipment. All software, documentation or any information disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Loan
Agreement are confidential and proprietary to STRATUS or its licensors and shall not be reproduced or copied by Benchmark except as authorized herein, and Benchmark shall not use the software, documentation, Equipment or any information disclosed
hereunder except as expressly authorized herein. In no event, whether expressly, by implication or otherwise, are any STRATUS proprietary rights granted hereunder as to or related to the Equipment or to any other STRATUS products or any enhancements
or modifications. Benchmark acknowledges that any unauthorized use or disclosure of any of such information would seriously harm STRATUS’ competitive position. Nothing herein shall be construed as granting Benchmark a license under any patent,
patent application, trade secret, trademark, or copyright which STRATUS may have or obtain relating to the Equipment or STRATUS’ other products, whether announced or proposed. 

  

	3.	 During the term of the Loan Period, STRATUS grants to Benchmark a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the object code form of the software included with
the Equipment only as authorized in this Loan Agreement and the Manufacturing Agreement. Benchmark agrees that Benchmark will not pledge, lease, rent, or share Benchmark’s rights under this Loan Agreement, and that Benchmark will not, without

 21 

	 	 
to do so and that Benchmark shall not make the software available to any other third party, or to create works derivative of the software, without
STRATUS’ express written consent. 

  
 Benchmark may make one copy of the software and the user documentation for backup purposes. Any such copies of the software or the user documentation shall include STRATUS’ copyright and other proprietary notices. Except as authorized
under this paragraph, no copies of the software or any portions thereof may be made by Benchmark or any person under Benchmark’s authority or control. 
  

	4.	Benchmark is responsible for installation and deinstallation of the Equipment. STRATUS agrees to make installation and deinstallation services available if required at no cost to
Benchmark. The Equipment shall at all times remain at the location specified on the attached Equipment Schedule.

resulting from damage caused by Benchmark. No modifications and/or additions shall be made to the Equipment by Benchmark without STRATUS’ prior written approval. If modifications and/or additions have been authorized by STRATUS, the Equipment
shall be restored to its original condition by Benchmark, upon STRATUS’ request and expense prior to return to STRATUS. If the Equipment is not returned within ten (10) days after the Loan Period, STRATUS shall invoice Benchmark and a sale and
license thereof shall be conclusively considered to have occurred at STRATUS’ then-current price, list, subject to STRATUS’ standard terms and conditions of sale which shall apply to the sale of Equipment and this Loan Agreement shall be
deemed terminated. 

  

	6.	The Equipment is made available to Benchmark at Benchmark’s request, on an “as-is” basis, with no warranties, representations or obligations or undertakings on
STRATUS’ behalf whatsoever with respect thereto. Without limitation, STRATUS accepts no responsibility to maintain the Equipment, nor with respect to any product deficiencies or defects. STRATUS MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. STRATUS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, POSSESSION, USE OR OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT. 

  

	7.	In the event Benchmark neglects or fails to perform any of its obligations under this Loan Agreement and such default is not corrected to STRATUS’ satisfaction within five (5)
days of receipt of STRATUS’ notice of such default, then this Loan Agreement may be immediately terminated by STRATUS. If the Equipment becomes, or in STRATUS’ opinion likely to become, the subject of an intellectual property infringement
claim, this Loan Agreement shall immediately terminate and STRATUS, at its own cost and expense will remove the Equipment and neither party shall have any further liability to the other under this Loan Agreement or otherwise. In any event, and
without limitation, Benchmark shall reimburse STRATUS for all costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by STRATUS in repossessing the Equipment. 

  

	8.	 This Loan Agreement is not assignable. Any such assignment shall automatically be null and void. This Loan Agreement supersedes all prior agreements concerning the
subject matter herein and may not be changed or modified except by a written communication signed by both parties. 

  

 22 

	 	 
This Loan Agreement constitutes the entire agreement governing the Equipment specified herein between STRATUS and Benchmark and may not be modified or
amended other than by a written instrument executed by both parties. This Loan Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Texas, USA. 

  
 In witness whereof, this Loan Agreement has been executed by the duly authorized representatives of the parties.

 MATERIALS LIABILITY MODEL AND DEBUG DOG PRODUCTS 
  
 MATERIAL LIABILITY: 
  
 UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, BENCHMARK SHALL PURCHASE MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS BASED ON STRATUS’ PURCHASE ORDERS
AND/OR THEN-CURRENT ROLLING 12 MONTH FORECAST, AND STRATUS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ALL SUCH MATERIALS PURCHASED, PROCESSED AND/OR CONVERTED INTO SUB-ASSEMBLIES AND/OR PRODUCTS PROVIDED SUCH MATERIALS WERE PLANNED AND PROCURED UTILIZING GENERALLY
ACKNOWLEDGED BEST MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. BENCHMARK SHALL EXERCISE REASONABLE COMMERCIAL EFFORTS TO MINIMIZE STRATUS’ MATERIALS INVENTORY LIABILITY WHILE MAINTAINING ADEQUATE MATERIAL AVAILABILITY TO MEET STRATUS’ PURCHASE ORDERS
AND/OR FORECAST. 
  
 EXCESS MATERIAL: 

 
 THE MAXIMUM MATERIAL INVENTORY BENCHMARK WILL HOLD EQUATES TO THE NEXT 6 MONTHS
FORECASTED DEMAND (BASED UPON STRATUS’ PURCHASE ORDERS AND/OR FORECAST). ALL MATERIAL INVENTORY ON-HAND AT BENCHMARK’S FACILITY THAT ARE GREATER THAN THE NEXT SIX (6) MONTHS OF FORECASTED DEMAND SHALL BE DEEMED EXCESS INVENTORY
(“EXCESS INVENTORY”). ON A MONTHLY BASIS, ALL EXCESS INVENTORY WILL BE INVOICED, AT BENCHMARK’S STANDARD COST, TO STRATUS AND BECOME STRATUS’ MATERIAL INVENTORY UPON PAYMENT BY STRATUS AND CONSIGNED AT BENCHMARK’S FACILITY
(“CONSIGNED INVENTORY”). 
  
 CONSIGNED
INVENTORY : 
  
 BENCHMARK WILL CONSUME CONSIGNED INVENTORY BEFORE IT PURCHASES
NEW COMPONENTS FROM ITS VENDORS. BENCHMARK WILL ISSUE CREDITS TO STRATUS THE FIRST WEEK OF THE NEXT MONTH FOR THE CONSIGNED INVENTORY CONSUMED WITHIN THE PREVIOUS MONTH; SUCH CREDITS SHALL BE USED TO OFFSET AGAINST PAYMENTS OWED BY STRATUS TO
BENCHMARK FOR PRODUCTS. BENCHMARK WILL MANAGE AND STORE SUCH CONSIGNED INVENTORY ON BEHALF OF STRATUS.

 DEBUG DOG PRODUCTS : 

 
 DEFINITION : DEBUG DOG PRODUCTS ARE PRODUCTS WHICH CANNOT BE DEBUGGED AND REPAIRED. THIS
IS PRIMARILY THE RESULT OF DESIGN RELATED ANOMALIES WHICH ARE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY THESE PRODUCTS WILL BE HANDLED PER DEBUG DOG ATTACHMENT E. 
  

Forecast accuracy at both the slot plan and the piece part level will be reviewed each Quarter to ensure that the demand forecasted provided to Benchmark is accurate.
The forecast will be jointly reviewed so that any adjustments necessary, consistent with sound inventory management and forecasting practices, can be made so that the forecast in place accurately reflects the level of product that Stratus expects to
ship during that forecast period.

 ATTACHMENT ‘E’ 
  
 Proposal for Handling Bug Products 
  
 Debug product consists of assemblies which do not pass test at Benchmark. The following process applies to debug actions, responsibilities
and a final disposition method for assemblies which cannot be successfully debugged. 
  
 Process Overview : 
  

	1.	Benchmark determines failure modes and reasons. The results of the failure analysis will be documented. 

  

	2.	A minimum period of an experienced Benchmark technician time is spent on debug of a specific product. Time spent will be based on board complexity as specified in a matrix to be
co-developed by Stratus and Benchmark. 

  

	3.	If the Benchmark technician is unsuccessful in the debug attempt, he/she shall enlist the support of a Benchmark Engineer. 

  

	4.	The Benchmark Engineer will review the fault isolation process followed by the Benchmark Technician and evaluate the effectiveness of the process followed. If debug by the Benchmark
Engineer is unsuccessful, Benchmark shall contact the Stratus identified assembly expert for telephone consultation. The results of telephone consultations will be documented (e-mail or other written method) by Benchmark. 

 

	5.	If the telephone consultation does not result in a working assembly within thirty (30) days of the telephone consultation with Stratus, Stratus shall either :

  

	 	A.	Send a debug technician and /or engineer to Benchmark, at STRATUS’ cost, to provide assistance or 

  

	 	B.	Instruct Benchmark to ship and invoice the failed assembly to Stratus; or 

  

	 	C.	Stratus shall authorise Benchmark to conduct on-site scrapping of the failed assembly. As a result of material exhibiting a ‘BUG’ defect, Benchmark may be required to
procure extra material to cover these failures, and Stratus agrees to accept liability for this material in the event such material becomes excess or obsolete. Stratus shall accept liability for any excess or obsolete material resulting from a
design fix. 

  

	6.	Typically a debug dog will be a singular occurrence, however in the event of two or more occurrences of the identical failure mode, until such time as the actual cause of the defect
is established, this will be deemed to be an “unknown recurring error” and will remain at Benchmark until this failure has been fully diagnosed. Assistance may be required from Stratus Design / Sustaining Engineering as per 5 above.

  

	7.	If after investigating the defective product using the identical equipment, labour and material as used by BEI, Stratus identifies the defect as the result of poor quality material
and/or workmanship the result of which is scrapping the board Benchmark will be invoiced the Stratus Engineer debug time up to a maximum debug time per product as identified in matrix ref 2 above. This liability only applies to debug dog boards.

  

	8.	Once the debug product has been repaired by Stratus, if requested by Stratus, Benchmark will purchase the product, at the price Benchmark originally invoiced Stratus for the
product, in line with Stratus’ demand.

package, and (C) such external media is the same version and release as the COA affixed to the Customer System by COMPANY; and 
  
 (5) COMPANY shall keep on behalf of itself and COMPANY Subsidiaries, and require any third party installers to keep, all usual and proper records
regarding creation and preinstallation of Images, including the number of Images distributed in each calendar month. COMPANY shall provide such records to MS upon written request. 
  
 (6) COMPANY agrees not to provide any end user customer or such end user customer’s agents with a copy of or access to
an OPK; and 
  
 (7) COMPANY shall defend, indemnify and hold MS
and MSCORP harmless from and against all damages, claims, costs, judgments (or settlements to which COMPANY consents) arising from any unlicensed software products (including all MSCORP software products) on the Image. 
  
 COMPANY agrees that this Section 2(h) in no way relieves COMPANY of its royalty obligations
regarding the Product(s) preinstalled as part of the Image nor does it create a general exception to any other MS license agreement or MS or MSCORP program in which COMPANY may participate.

COMPANY may provide an end user customer with a copy of the Product(s) preinstalled on the hard drive of a Customer System (“Hard Drive Image”), and distribute such hard drive either in the Customer System or separately from the Customer
System to end user customers who may customize the Hard Drive Image to create the Image and return to COMPANY. COMPANY shall permanently affix a revenue-bearing COA on such hard drive or Customer System. COMPANY may return such COA for a credit,
provided COMPANY returns the COA in accordance with the COA return requirements of Section 6 of the BTD and the COA procedures of the OEM Resource Guide. 
  
 COMPANY agrees that this Section 2(i) in no way relieves COMPANY of its royalty obligations regarding the Product(s) either preinstalled or distributed to the end user as
part of the Hard Drive Image or the Image, nor does it create a general exception to any other MS license agreement or MS or MSCORP program in which COMPANY may participate. 
  
 (j) COMPANY’s license rights shall be worldwide. 
  
 (k) Except as otherwise provided in this License Agreement, COMPANY may distribute Product in only one (1) language and release for use with
each Customer System. COMPANY may choose any language for which it is licensed, except as otherwise provided in an Additional Provision listed in the Product Schedule(s) with respect to the Product(s). 
  
 (l) COMPANY shall comply with the Additional Provisions listed in the Product Schedule(s)
with respect to the Product(s). 
  
 (m) COMPANY may supplement but shall not
modify or translate Product end user documentation. COMPANY shall not remove or modify the package contents of APM. 
  
 (n) COMPANY may grant to COMPANY Subsidiaries the limited rights granted to COMPANY in Section 2, as well as any rights MS may grant to COMPANY for Products licensed
herein under a Supplement notice during the term hereof, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in this License Agreement. 
  
 (o) (i) COMPANY’s license to distribute the Product is limited to distribution and sublicense of the Product by COMPANY to end users for use pursuant to the EULA for
each Product. 
  
 (ii) If the Product is distributed with a
Customer System that is designed to be used without a monitor, keyboard and mouse, COMPANY may suppress the on-screen EULA in accordance with the instructions provided in the OPK. In such event, COMPANY shall distribute a paper EULA for the Product
as acquired from an AR with such Customer System. If COMPANY distributes the same Product with multiple such Customer Systems to the same end user customer, COMPANY may distribute a single paper EULA for such Product with such Customer Systems,
provided that the number of Product licenses COMPANY shall conspicuously indicate on a paper addendum accompanying such EULA matches the number of copies of Product installed or to be installed on the Customer Systems. COMPANY shall place a notice
(i) over either the Customer System power switch in the “off” position or the power inlet connector which informs the end user that turning on the Customer System indicates acceptance of the terms of the paper EULA, and (ii) conspicuously
printed on, or displayed on a break-the-seal label affixed to, the packaging of any external media distributed for use on such Customer System which informs the end user that opening the packaging indicates acceptance of the terms of the paper EULA.
COMPANY shall translate such notice in the appropriate language version(s) for the jurisdiction(s) in or into which COMPANY distributes the Customer Systems. COMPANY may use an alternative procedure, subject to MS review and approval, provided that
(i) the end user is required to take some affirmative action to use or install the Product software, such as breaking a seal; (ii) the end user is advised that taking such action indicates acceptance of the terms and conditions of the EULA; and
(iii) the end user has the opportunity to read the EULA and the applicable warranty in its entirety before taking such action.

 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS 
  
 (Note: Only those Additional Provisions applicable to licensed Product(s) may appear. Section numbering may not be
consecutive.) 
  
 (26) COMPANY may install one or more language versions
(listed in the Language Version box above) of Product software with each applicable Customer System provided COMPANY shall: 
  
 (i) use a utility which allows the end user to choose one (1), and only one (1), language version of Product for the Customer System. Any backup or
recovery copy of the Product, shall give end users access to install or recover only one (1) language version of the Product; 
  
 (ii) clearly indicate to end users, including without limitation, in advertising and on Customer System packaging that shall be translated and adapted as
necessary for any region to which COMPANY distributes the Product, that end users shall have access to one (1) language version only; 
  
 (iii) defend MS and MSCORP against, and pay the amount of any final adverse judgment (or settlement to which COMPANY consents) arising from third party
claims or demands resulting from COMPANY’s failure to adequately inform end users receiving multiple language versions that they are not entitled to use more than one (1) language version of the Product; and 
  
 (iv) pay the highest royalty applicable to the language versions distributed.

  
 COMPANY may distribute more than one (1) language version of the APM,
excluding any recovery or external media, with the Product; provided that COMPANY has installed such language version on the Customer System. 
  
 (57) In order to support end users of the Product, COMPANY agrees to employ at all times at least one support technician who has successfully completed, at COMPANY’s
expense, the Microsoft Certified Professional program for the licensed version of the Product (or if applicable, for the Windows server operating system component), or if not available, then the Microsoft Certified Professional program for Windows
2000 server operating systems. 
  
 (58) At present, the EULA for the Product
provides for a specified number of Client Access Licenses (“CALs”). The number of CALs determines the maximum number of computers or workstations connected to the Customer System(s) which may access certain basic network services as
described in the EULA. The number of CALs included for the Product is indicated in the Product Table above. 
  
 (59) Though the OPK for the Product may include versions of the Product designed for various microprocessor architectures, COMPANY is licensed to distribute the Product only with and for use on Customer System(s)
based on the microprocessor architecture specified at the top of the Product Schedule. 
  
 (62) (a) If a Customer System(s) is licensed on a per system basis for the Product and for one or more other MS operating system products, then COMPANY shall pay MS the royalty for the MS operating system product distributed with such
Customer System(s), or in the event no MS operating system product is distributed with such Customer System(s), COMPANY shall pay MS the highest royalty applicable to any licensed language or regional versions of the MS operating system product with
the lowest royalty rate(s) that is licensed on a per system basis with such Customer System(s). 
  
 (b) COMPANY may not distribute both the Product and any other MS operating system product with the same Customer System(s). 
  
 (64) COMPANY is not licensed to distribute a processor version of the Product on a
Customer System that includes more processors than the highest number of processors listed for such version in the Product Table. For purposes of this License Agreement, “processor” means a physical processor or central processing unit
(CPU). 
  
 (393) COMPANY’s license for the Product is being entered into in
connection with (i) a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Support Services Center for Datacenter agreement and/or addendum between COMPANY and MSCORP (“MGSC Datacenter Addendum”) or an equivalent joint support and services program for the
Product defined by MSCORP, and (ii) (A) the Windows 2003 Datacenter Hardware Compatibility Test (“Windows 2003 Datacenter HCT”) specifications or the Enterprise Qualification Program (“EQP”) specifications for Windows Server

 (394) (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the License Agreement, COMPANY shall
not distribute Updates (as defined below) to end users of Customer Systems distributed with the Product except pursuant to one or more current and valid Update Subscriptions for the applicable Product as described in this Additional Provision.

 (i) “Distribution Date” shall mean the date the
Product (but excluding an upgrade version of the Product) was distributed by COMPANY to the end user. 
  
 (ii) “Designated System” shall mean a Customer System on which is installed the listed processor version of the referenced
Product or a Combination (as defined in Additional Provision 684), to which one or more Update Subscriptions are designated. 
  
 (iii) “Update Subscription” shall be authorization for COMPANY to distribute Updates to an end user for installation on one (1)
Designated System during the term of the Update Subscription.

 (c) (i) To be valid and effective, one or more Update Subscriptions for the corresponding processor
version of the Product or Combination shall have been in effect for each month since the Distribution Date. 
  
 (ii) If an Update Subscription is acquired after the Distribution Date, COMPANY also shall report and pay MS Update Subscription royalties
for each month from and including the Distribution Date through the date end user first acquires an Update Subscription for the Designated System. For example, if an Update Subscription is acquired six (6) months after the Distribution Date, COMPANY
would report and pay royalties for seven (7) months, i.e., royalties for the current month and the prior six (6) months. If the Designated System originally was distributed with a lower processor version of the Product or a Combination, and later
upgraded to a higher processor version of the Product or a Combination, then royalties for the prior months shall be calculated based on the Update Subscription(s) for the lower processor version of the referenced Product or Combination. 

 
 (d) During the term of a current and valid Update Subscription:

  
 (i) COMPANY shall distribute Updates to that
end user for deployment on one (1) Designated System installed with the corresponding processor version of the referenced Product or a Combination, provided however, COMPANY may distribute Updates to an end user only if and for so long as COMPANY

 (ii) COMPANY shall indicate to the end user whether the end user’s Designated System would pass (A) the then current Windows 2003
Datacenter HCT or EQP specifications for Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition or (B) the then current Windows 2000 Datacenter HCT specifications for Windows 2000 Datacenter, as applicable, if the Updates are installed. 
  
 (e) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the License Agreement,
Updates described in this Additional Provision may be distributed to end users separate from a Customer System as follows: 
  
 (A) An Update that includes an operational copy of a licensed Product shall be BIOS-locked (applies only to the 32-bit version of the
Product) and distributed only on COMPANY branded external media or via a COMPANY, restricted access web site. 
  
 (B) An Update that does not include an operational copy of a licensed Product may be BIOS-locked (applies only to the 32-bit version of
the Product) and shall be distributed only on COMPANY branded external media or via a COMPANY, restricted access web site. 
  
 (ii) An Update shall be provided to the end user with the EULA included with the Update as delivered to COMPANY by MS. 
  
 (f) For each Update Subscription, COMPANY shall maintain records by end user
customer, the Product identification number, configuration and acquisition date of the Designated System, and the purchase date of each Update Subscription for the Designated System. COMPANY shall provide such information to MS on a monthly basis.

  
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Additional Provision, COMPANY may distribute Updates to an end user of a Customer System installed with a Combination, provided that the total number of processors of such Combination does not exceed the total number of processors of the current and
valid Update Subscription(s) designated to such Customer System. 
  
 (395) MS will
provide to COMPANY OEM Sales-Out Reporting Guidelines, which may be revised from time to time during the term of this License Agreement. COMPANY shall provide, on a monthly basis, customer sales reports for the Product (“Sales-Out
Reports”), which shall include all information required by the then current OEM Sales-Out Reporting Guidelines. COMPANY shall take all steps necessary to ensure that COMPANY’s collection and provision of information contained in the
Sales-Out Reports will comply with all applicable national data protection laws. In addition, if an end user customer is an individual, COMPANY shall notify and obtain permission from the end user for transfer and use of information by MS. If
permission is not obtained, COMPANY shall report the name and address for the business organization with which the individual is affiliated (if any), and shall not report such information for the individual. 
  
 (427) (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this License Agreement, COMPANY may
distribute this Product with a Customer System to be installed at the end user’s location, but only if the following conditions are met: 
  
 (i) the Customer System on which the Product is to be installed passes (A) the then current Windows 2003 Datacenter HCT or EQP
specifications for Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition or (B) the then current Windows 2000 Datacenter HCT specifications for Windows 2000 Datacenter, as applicable, as described in Additional Provision (435); 
  
 (ii) the Product is BIOS-locked (applies only to the 32-bit
version of the Product) and provided to the end user on COMPANY-branded external media; 
  
 (iii) the Product is installed only on the Customer System by either (i) a COMPANY technician or (ii) the end user pursuant to
COMPANY’s instructions; and 
  
 (iv) the
Customer System, as installed with the Product, shall be in compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in this License Agreement, including without limitation, carrying the COA sticker for the Product. 
  
 (b) COMPANY also may distribute the Product directly to an existing end user
of a previously distributed Customer System subject to the same conditions as set forth in subsection (a) of this Additional Provision, provided that such Customer System shall have been previously installed and used with validly licensed operating
system software. 
  
 (428) (a) COMPANY shall ensure that each Customer System (as
installed and configured for end user operation with the Product and all other software and/or hardware installed on the Customer System) meets the specifications set forth in (A) the then current Windows 2003 Datacenter HCT or EQP for Windows
Server 2003, Datacenter Edition or (B) the then current Windows 2000 Datacenter HCT for Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, as applicable, regardless of where the Product was installed.

 (62) (a) If a Customer System(s) is licensed on a per system basis for the Product and for
one or more other MS operating system products, then COMPANY shall pay MS the royalty for the MS operating system product distributed with such Customer System(s), or in the event no MS operating system product is distributed with such Customer
System(s), COMPANY shall pay MS the highest royalty applicable to any licensed language or regional versions of the MS operating system product with the lowest royalty rate(s) that is licensed on a per system basis with such Customer System(s).

  
 (b) COMPANY may not distribute both the Product and any other
MS operating system product with the same Customer System(s). 
  
 (64) COMPANY is

Sales-Out Reports will comply with all applicable national data protection laws. In addition, if an end user customer is an individual, COMPANY shall notify and obtain permission from the end user for transfer and use of information by MS. If
permission is not obtained, COMPANY shall report the name and address for the business organization with which the individual is affiliated (if any), and shall not report such information for the individual. 
  
 (427) (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this License Agreement, COMPANY may
distribute this Product with a Customer System to be installed at the end user’s location, but only if the following conditions are met: 
  
 (i) the Customer System on which the Product is to be installed passes (A) the then current Windows 2003 Datacenter HCT or EQP
specifications for Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition or (B) the then current Windows 2000 Datacenter HCT specifications for Windows 2000 Datacenter, as applicable, as described in Additional Provision (435);

 (b) COMPANY also may distribute the Product directly to an existing end user
of a previously distributed Customer System subject to the same conditions as set forth in subsection (a) of this Additional Provision, provided that such Customer System shall have been previously installed and used with validly licensed operating
system software. 
  
 (428) (a) COMPANY shall ensure that each Customer System (as
installed and configured for end user operation with the Product and all other software and/or hardware installed on the Customer System) meets the specifications set forth in (A) the then current Windows 2003 Datacenter HCT or EQP for Windows
Server 2003, Datacenter Edition or (B) the then current Windows 2000 Datacenter HCT for Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, as applicable, regardless of where the Product was installed.
