(f)

Continuous improvement and evolution of the Services throughout the Term to meet the dynamic requirements of Solectron’s business.

1.3 Construction of Preamble

This Preamble is intended to provide a general introduction to the Agreement. It is not intended to alter the plain meaning of the Agreement or to expand the scope of the Parties’ express obligations under it. However, to the extent the terms and conditions of the Agreement are unclear or ambiguous with respect to a particular circumstance, such terms and conditions are to be interpreted and construed within the context of the provisions of this Preamble.

1.4 Local Adoption Agreements

	(a)		The Agreement provides for and governs the provision of Services to Solectron and its Affiliates in the United States and it provides a common set of terms and conditions to be adopted by Local Parties through the execution of Local Adoption Agreements. The Agreement is entered into solely between, and may be enforced only by, Solectron and IBM, except that an Affiliate of Solectron or IBM that has signed a Local Adoption Agreement may enforce the Agreement, as incorporated by reference into the Local Adoption Agreement, against any other signatory to that Local Adoption Agreement. The Agreement does not create any legally enforceable rights in other third parties, including suppliers and customers of a Party, except as provided in this Section 1.4 and Section 18 (INDEMNIFICATION).

	(b)		Solectron or the applicable Solectron Affiliate may, subject to the terms of Section 11.3 (Termination By Solectron), terminate any Local Adoption Agreement without affecting the other Local Adoption Agreements or the Agreement.

Capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 23 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS) or in-place where the term is used and have the meanings there



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 2 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

given unless the context requires otherwise. (See the INDEX OF DEFINED TERMS immediately following these GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS for a listing of defined terms and a reference to the location where each is defined.) Section 20.11 (Use of Certain Words) provides rules of construction for certain non-capitalized terms used in the Agreement.

THE SERVICES

2.1 Obligation to Provide the Services, Generally

Starting on the Effective Date, or any later date that may be specified in the Agreement for any specific Services or location(s) (a “Service Commencement Date”), and continuing during the Term, IBM will perform and deliver the Services to Solectron, for use by Solectron and its Service Recipients.

2.2 Scope of the Services

The “Services” consist of the following, as they may evolve and be supplemented, modified or replaced during the Term:

	(a)		the functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks (collectively, “*Functions”) expressly described in Schedule A (IBM Services and Solution(s)), Schedule G (IBM Delivery Excellence), Schedule I (Security), Schedule J (Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity) or elsewhere in the Agreement as Functions for which IBM is responsible (collectively, the “Enumerated Services*”);

	(b)		any Functions routinely performed during the twelve (12) months preceding the Effective Date (excluding functions discontinued due to reorganizations, business process reengineering, divestitures and acquisitions) by any baseline personnel (employees and independent contractors) of Solectron (and its Affiliates) who are displaced, or whose Functions are displaced, as a result of the Agreement even if the Function being displaced is not specifically described in the Agreement, but only to the extent that such Functions are reasonably related to the Enumerated Services and are reasonably necessary for the full and proper performance of the Enumerated Services;

	(c)		performance, management, and completion of the In-flight Projects listed or described in Annex A6 (In-flight Projects), the Transition activities listed or described in Annex A7 (Transition Plan), Projects described in any Work Orders executed and issued by the Parties under the Agree ment, and any Projects requested by Solectron and implemented via the Change Management Process; and

	(d)		any Functions that are not specifically described in the Agreement but only to the extent that such Functions are inherent, required and appro-



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 3 of 68

priate for the proper performance and provision of the Enumerated Services in compliance with the requirements of the Agreement.

2.3 Recipients of the Services

The Services may be received and used by Solectron and any of its Affiliates and other persons and entities authorized by Solectron in the ordinary course of business to receive and/or use the Services for the benefit of Solectron’s global enterprise (each such authorized recipient of the Services a “Service Recipient”). To the extent that the introduction of any new Service Recipient(s) has a material impact on the scope or volume of the Services, such introduction shall be subject to the Change Management Process. For purposes of the Agreement, Services provided to Service Recipients will be deemed to be Services provided to Solectron. If Solectron divests a Service Recipient and requests that IBM continue to provide Services to the divested entity, the parties will negotiate separate arrangements for that entity and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to give the divested entity the benefit of the same terms and conditions (including pricing) for at least a transitional period of up to twelve (12) months.

2.4 Services Not Exclusive

	(a)		Except as the Agreement expressly provides otherwise, the Agreement does not grant to IBM the exclusive right to provide any products and services to Solectron (or its Affiliates). Solectron (and its Affiliates) may contract with other vendors for any products and services, including products and services that are similar to or competitive with the Services or that formerly were part of the Services. Conversely, subject to the terms of the Agreement, IBM (and its Affiliates) may provide to other companies, services and products that are similar to or competitive with the Services.

	(b)		Except as the Agreement expressly provides otherwise, Solectron (and its Affiliates) make no commitment for any minimum or maximum amount of Services to be purchased under the Agreement.

2.5 Cooperation and Coordination with Other Parties

(a)

If Solectron performs itself, or retains a third party to perform, any services that interface or interact with the Services, or that formerly were part of the Services, IBM will cooperate and coordinate with Solectron or such third party as reasonably required for Solectron or the third party to perform such services. IBM’s cooperation and coordination will include, as applicable and subject to any confidentiality restrictions: (A) providing full access to Solectron Data; (B) providing reasonable assistance with necessary interfaces, including providing information regarding the operating environment, system constraints and other operating parameters as a person with reasonable commercial skills and expertise would find reasonably necessary; and (C) providing the opportunity



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 4 of 68

for third party providers to communicate with IBM, as reasonably required, through IBM’s normal service delivery channels.

(b)

Third party service providers retained by Solectron shall comply with IBM’s security and reasonable confidentiality requirements when accessing facilities or other resources owned or controlled by IBM.

2.6 Maximizing Value of Services

IBM will seek to maximize the quality, efficiency and value of the Services to Solectron including supporting Solectron’s efforts to maintain competitiveness in the markets in which it competes. IBM will do this by (i) subject to security and confidentiality obligations, utilizing market information, price benchmarks and savings opportunities acquired by IBM in the course of providing services to its customer base (including IBM’s internal customers), wherever practicable, so as to maximize speed-to-value in the form of savings and other benefits delivered to Solectron under this Agreement; (ii) identifying and applying ‘best practice’ techniques and methods in performing and delivering the Services, including keeping current with market conditions and industry trends and providing information and training that are relevant to the Services.

2.7 Technological Currency.

IBM will make investments to keep reasonably current the network, systems, equipment, systems software and other technologies provided by IBM in performing the Services for Solectron, so that Solectron will receive the benefits of upgrades in technology through improved performance, functionality and recoverability. IBM will be proactive in identifying opportunities to implement new technologies that will improve service and support. IBM will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain the Software within one generation of the most current release levels unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, but in no event will IBM allow the Software to fall behind the levels supported by the relevant supplier. If Solectron requires that any other third party system software products be maintained at particular release levels, such requirement (and any associated pricing) shall be set forth in a mutually agreed amendment to this Agreement.

2.8 New Services

	(a)		“*New Services*” means Functions Solectron requests IBM to perform under the Agreement that are (i) materially dif ferent from the Services, or (ii) in addition to the Services and for which no charging methodology exist.

	(b)		IBM will not perform any additional Functions that would constitute New Services prior to informing Solectron what the additional charges would be for performing them and receiving Solectron’s authorization to proceed. If IBM performs the additional Functions without Solectron’s



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 5 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

authorization, they will be deemed to have been performed as part of the Services at no charge.

	(c)		New Services will be subject to the Change Management Process and will be documented in a Change Order or, in the case of New Services that constitute or are performed as part of Project in a Work Order issued under the Agreement.

	(d)		Solectron may elect to solicit and receive bids from third parties to perform such additional Functions. If Solectron elects to have the additional Functions performed by a third party, IBM will cooperate and coordinate with the third party with respect to the provision of such Functions.

	(e)		“*Replacement Services*” are New Services, the performance of which will result in a reduction or elimination of some kinds of resources then being used by IBM to render the Services it is already providing. If the New Services requested by Solectron would constitute Replacement Services, the Parties will determine the incremental resources and expenses of IBM required to provide the Replacement Services, including implementation and on-going support, and the reduction in resources and expenses related to the Services being replaced. The net increase or decrease in resources (and/or change in the mix of resources) and expenses of IBM will be the basis on which IBM will quote a price to Solectron for the Replacement Services.

2.9 Changes to the Services or the Service Delivery Environment

Any material changes (individually or in the aggregate) to the Services that affects any aspect of Solectron’s performance of Solectron Retained Functions or any connection to IBM’s Service Delivery Environment will be made in accordance with Schedule N (Change Control).

2.10 Compliance with Laws, Regulations and Solectron Policies

(a)

Each Party agrees at its cost and expense to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals regulating its business, to obtain any necessary licenses or permits regulating its business, and to comply with all laws and regulatory requirements regulating its business (or that of its Affiliates) including as such regulates, in the case of Solectron, Solectron’s performance of any Functions designated as Solectron Retained Functions and in the case of IBM, IBM’s performance of any Functions forming part of the Services, in each case as set forth in Annex A1. Each Party will bear the risk of and have financial responsibility for any change in laws and regulations applicable to it or its Affiliates, or their respective businesses, including as such relates to the performance of its obligations under the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, IBM has no responsibility for compliance with any laws or regulations applicable to Solectron’s business operations, provided this does not waive or limit IBM’s responsibil-



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 6 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

ity to (i) comply with laws and regulations regulating IBM’s performance of any Functions forming part of the Services in Annex A1 or (ii) to provide information or assistance to Solectron as required under the Agreement in connection with Solectron’s efforts to comply with laws and regulatory requirements in connection with the procurement of goods and services as contemplated by this Agreement.

	(b)		In addition, if Solectron has adopted any written standards, policies or procedures pertaining to Solectron’s compliance with any laws or regulatory requirements that apply to Solectron and are applicable to IBM’s performance of Services for or on behalf of Solectron, IBM will perform its obligations under the Agreement in compliance with any such Solectron standards, policies and requirements that have been disclosed to IBM in writing with an opportunity for review. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Solectron acknowledges and agrees that IBM is not responsible for providing regulatory compliance advice to Solectron under the Agreement.

	(c)		If a Party is charged with failing to comply with any laws, or regulatory requirements in breach of the requirements of Sections 2.10(a) or 2.10(b), above, or policies described in this Section 2.10 (Compliance with Laws, Regulations and Solectron Policies), it will promptly so notify the other Party in writing to the extent the non-compliance or its consequences may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Services or the other Party.

PERFORMANCE

3.1 Performance, Generally

IBM is responsible for managing and performing, completing, and delivering the Services, subject to the overall direction of Solectron and with the cooperation and support of Solectron as specified in the Agreement.

3.2 Place of Performance

IBM will perform the Services primarily at the Solectron Facilities and IBM Facilities listed or described in Annex A5 (IBM Solution). Prior to any IBM-initiated relocation of an operations facility from which the Services are provided, IBM will notify Solectron. IBM will manage any relocations in accordance with the Agreement and a migration plan to be prepared by IBM . Prior to any proposed relocation, IBM will fully examine and evaluate the effects of the contemplated relocation on the Services and Solectron, including the operational, technical, security, regulatory, and other effects, and will prepare and submit to Solectron an analysis of the effects. The Party initiating any relocation will have financial responsibility for all incremental costs, taxes and other expenses related to any such relocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IBM shall obtain Solectron’s written approval before implementing a relocation of Services that in-



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 7 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

creases the cost of the Services to Solectron or has a non-trivial adverse impact on Solectron.

3.3 Time of Performance

	(a)		IBM will (and will provide the resources necessary to) perform and complete the Services diligently, in a timely manner, and in accordance with any applicable time schedules set forth in the Agreement (including any Work Orders issued under it).

	(b)		IBM will promptly notify Solectron upon becoming aware of any circumstances that may reasonably be expected to jeopardize the timely and successful completion (or delivery) of any Service, Project or Deliverable. IBM will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to avoid or minimize any delays in performance and will inform Solectron of the steps IBM is taking or will take to do so, and the projected actual completion (or delivery) time.

	(c)		If IBM believes a delay in performance by Solectron (or a third party service provider Solectron is responsible for managing) has caused or will cause IBM to be unable to perform its obligations on time, IBM will promptly so notify Solectron and subject to Section 5.3 (Savings Clause), use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform its obligations on time notwithstanding Solectron’s (or its third party service provider’s) failure to perform.

3.4 Manner of Performance

Section 2.2 (Scope of the Services) and Schedule A (IBM Services and Solution(s)) describe the scope of the Services IBM is responsible for rendering under the Agreement (the ‘What’) and, to a limited extent, the manner in which IBM is responsible for performing them (the ‘How’). The manner in which IBM is required to perform the Services is further regulated in other provisions of the Agreement, including these GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the Schedules to the Agreement. IBM will render the Services in a manner that meets or exceeds the Performance Standards. In addition to rendering the Services in compliance with all applicable requirements set forth in the Agreement, IBM will render the Services in compliance with the following:

	(a)		The Procedures Manual (as further described in Section 12.4 (Procedures Manual);

	(b)		Applicable standards, policies and procedures of Solectron (and its Affiliates) communicated to IBM in accordance with the Agreement;

	(c)		Section 2.10 (Compliance with Laws, Regulations and Solectron Policies); and



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 8 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

(d)

In cases where the Agreement does not prescribe or otherwise regulate the manner of IBM’s performance of the Services, proven best practices followed by the well-managed providers of services similar to the Services provided hereunder.

3.5 Acceptance of Deliverables

	(a)		“*Deliverable*” means any Work Product developed specifically for Solectron (or its Affiliate) or according to Solectron’s (or its Affiliate’s) specifications that is described as a ‘Deliverable’ in the Agreement or a Project plan or Work Order issued under the Agreement.

	(b)		IBM will review all Deliverables (and test them in the case of any Software Deliverables) prior to delivering them to Solectron for review and acceptance. Upon receipt of a Deliverable, Solectron will review it within ten (10) business days in the case of a written Deliverable and thirty (30) days in the case of a Software Deliverable, or such other time period as the Parties agree to in writing (with respect to each Deliverable, the “*Acceptance Period*”) to verify that it complies with its applicable specifications. Subject to Section 5.3 (Savings Clause), if Solectron notifies IBM within five (5) business days after the end of the Acceptance Period that the Deliverable does not meet its applicable specifications and describes the deficiencies in sufficient detail for IBM to identify or reproduce them, IBM will promptly correct and redeliver the affected Deliverable. If Solectron does not provide notice of acceptance or deficiency as described in the preceding sentence, IBM may escalate the matter as specified in Schedule F (Governance Structure and Processes) and if the delay in Solectron’s provision of notice adversely impacts the schedule for other work to be performed by IBM despite IBM’s use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform to the schedule despite the delay, the Parties will agree on an equitable adjustment to such schedule to account for the delay and IBM will not be deemed to in breach for failure to meet any deadlines impacted the delay.

3.6 Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement

In performing the Services, IBM will (a) participate in and support Solectron’s continuous improvement programs, including its “Six Sigma” and “Lean” programs, to the extent they are dependant upon or related to the Services and (b) follow the quality assurance procedures set forth in Schedule G (IBM Delivery Excellence) and the Procedures Manual to help ensure, prior to delivery, that the Services have been performed with a high degree of professional quality and reliability. Such procedures shall include checkpoint reviews, testing, acceptance, and other procedures for Solectron to confirm the quality of IBM’s performance. IBM, as part of its total quality management process, will provide continuous quality assurance and quality improvement through: (i) the identification and application of proven techniques and tools from other installations within its operations that IBM has determined will support the above quality management



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 9 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

process; and (ii) the implementation of concrete programs, practices and measures designed to improve performance. IBM will utilize project management tools, including productivity aids and project management systems, as appropriate in performing the Services.

3.7 User Satisfaction

	(a)		Working in consultation with Solectron, IBM will conduct a survey annually (or on such other frequency as the Parties may agree) of an agreed percentage of Solectron’s End User community. The surveys will be designed to determine the level of End User satisfaction with the Services and identify areas where End User satisfaction could be improved. The surveys will include representative samples of each major category of Solectron End User and an agreed number of in-depth, face-to-face or telephone interviews. Solectron and IBM will mutually agree on the form and content of the surveys, which will be no less thorough than those used customarily by IBM. The Parties will jointly review the results of the surveys, and IBM will develop and carry out a plan to improve End User satisfaction in areas where Solectron considers it to be lower than it should be.

	(b)		Solectron’s satisfaction with the Services will be a key performance factor in IBM’s performance appraisals of personnel filling Key IBM Positions.

	(c)		Solectron’s overall satisfaction with the Services will be measured and subject to credits/bonus as specified in Schedule B (Performance Management).

IBM PERSONNEL

4.1 Provision of Suitable Personnel

“IBM Personnel” means any and all personnel furnished or engaged by IBM to perform any part of the Services, including employees and independent contractors of (i) IBM, (ii) its Affiliates and (iii) other Subcontractors. IBM will assign an adequate number of IBM Personnel to perform the Services who are properly educated, trained and familiar with and fully qualified for the Services they are assigned to perform. IBM is responsible for ensuring that IBM Personnel assigned to perform Services have the legal right to work in the country(ies) in which they are assigned to work.

4.2 Screening and Background Checks

IBM will be responsible for causing all IBM Personnel assigned to provide the Services to be vetted through IBM’s standard employment (or subcontracting, as applicable) and security screening processes.

Solectron/IBM Confidential

4.3 Responsibility for IBM Personnel, Generally

There is no employment relationship between IBM and Solectron. IBM will manage, supervise and provide direction to IBM Personnel and cause them to comply with the obligations and restrictions applicable to IBM under the Agreement. IBM will make IBM Personnel aware of, and cause them to comply with, Solectron’s safety and security policies while they are performing Services at Solectron Facilities or accessing Solectron Data or systems, provided IBM is given copies of or access to such policies in advance with opportunity for review. As between IBM and Solectron, IBM is responsible for all wages, salaries and other amounts due IBM Personnel, and for all tax withholdings, unemployment insurance premiums, pension and social welfare plan contributions, and other employer obligations with respect to IBM Personnel. IBM is responsible for the acts and omissions of IBM Personnel under or relating to the Agreement.

4.4 Key IBM Positions

	(a)		“*Key IBM Positions*” means those positions designated as Key IBM Positions in Schedule E (Key IBM Positions). IBM’s Global Project Executive will be one of the Key IBM Positions. IBM Personnel filling the Key IBM Positions will devote substantially full time and effort to the provision of the Services except as Schedule E expressly provides otherwise. IBM Personnel approved as of the Effective Date to fill the Key IBM Positions are listed in Schedule E.

	(b)		Before the initial and each subsequent assignment of an individual to a Key IBM Position, IBM will notify Solectron of the proposed assignment, introduce the individual to appropriate Solectron representatives and, consistent with IBM’s personnel practices, provide Solectron a curriculum vitae and other information about the individual reasonably requested by Solectron. Upon request, IBM will provide Solectron representatives an opportunity to interview the individual. If Solectron in good faith objects to the proposed assignment, the Parties will attempt to resolve Solectron’s concerns on a mutually agreeable basis. If the Parties have not been able to resolve Solectron’s concerns within five (5) business days, IBM may not assign the individual to that position and must propose the assignment of another suitably qualified individual.

	(c)		Solectron may from time to time change the positions designated as Key IBM Positions under the Agreement with the consent of IBM, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

	(d)		IBM will give Solectron, where reasonably possible, at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice of a proposed change in personnel filling a Key IBM Position, and will discuss with Solectron any objections Solectron may have. Where reasonably possible, IBM will arrange, at no charge, for the proposed replacement to work side-by-side with the individual being replaced during the notice period to effectuate a seamless transfer



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 11 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

of knowledge prior to the incumbent leaving his or her position. IBM will not reassign or replace any person assigned to a Key IBM Position during the first year of his or her assignment to the Solectron service team unless Solectron consents to such reassignment or replacement, or the IBM employee voluntarily resigns from IBM, is terminated by IBM or is unable to work due to his or her death or disability, or reassignment as a result of an employee request that IBM in good faith believes will result in the employee’s resignation if not accommodated. Individuals filling Key IBM Positions may not be transferred or re-assigned until a suitable replacement has been approved by Solectron, and no such re-assignment or transfer may occur at a time or in a manner that would have an adverse impact on delivery of the Services or Solectron’s (or its Affiliate’s) operations. IBM will establish and maintain an up-to-date succession plan for the individuals serving in Key IBM Positions.

4.5		Removal and Replacement of IBM Personnel

		Solectron may immediately remove any IBM Personnel from any Solectron Facilities if the person is threatening or abusive, commits a crime or engages in an act of dishonesty while performing Services for Solectron or violates Solectron’s policies and procedures pertaining to use of Solectron Facilities. If Solectron in good faith finds any IBM Personnel to be unsatisfactory and so notifies IBM, IBM will, unless instructed otherwise by Solectron, remove said IBM Personnel promptly and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide a replacement, provided that if such removal would result in a material adverse impact to IBM’s ability to perform the Services, IBM will so notify Solectron and the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop a plan to mitigate such adverse impact, which may include delaying the removal of such IBM Personnel until the mitigation plan is completed. This provision does not in any way require, endorse or approve (expressly or impliedly) the termination of employment by IBM of any employee removed under the terms of this paragraph.

4.6		Controlling Turnover of IBM Personnel

		Solectron and IBM agree that it is in their mutual best interests to keep the turnover of IBM Personnel to a reasonably low level and IBM will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to do so. Accordingly, if Solectron believes that IBM’s turnover is excessive and so notifies IBM, IBM will provide data concerning its turnover and meet with Solectron to discuss the reasons for, and impact of, the turnover. If appropriate, IBM will submit to Solectron its proposals for reducing the turnover and the Parties will mutually agree on a program to bring the turnover down to an acceptable level. Notwithstanding any turnover of IBM Personnel, IBM remains obligated to perform the Services in compliance with the requirements of the Agreement.

4.7		Subcontracting

		"*Subcontractor*” means a third party engaged by IBM to provide products and/or services used by IBM in rendering the Services, as well as any entity to whom a Subcontractor further subcontracts (or otherwise sub-delegates) any of its subcontracted duties or obligations, but does not include individual independent contractors IBM may subcontract the performance of Services only in accordance with the following:

	(a)		IBM may subcontract the performance of Services to (i) any of its Affiliates that is qualified to conduct business in the country in which the Agreement is in effect and where the Services are to be performed.

	(b)		IBM may, in the ordinary course of business, utilize third party services or products that are not dedicated to performance of Services for Solectron, that are not material to a particular Function constituting a part of the Services, and that do not result in a material change in the way IBM conducts its business, provided such utilization does not adversely affect Solectron. If Solectron expresses concerns to IBM about a third party provider covered by this paragraph, IBM will discuss such concerns with Solectron and work to resolve Solectron’s concerns on a mutually acceptable basis.

	(c)		Except as provided in Sections 4.7(a) and 4.7(b), Solectron will have a right of prior approval of all IBM Subcontractors and to require IBM to replace any previously approved Subcontractor found, in the reasonable judgment of Solectron, to be unacceptable.

	(d)		As of the Effective Date, IBM has existing subcontracts in place with a number of Subcontractors IBM plans to use in performing the Services. A list of IBM’s Subcontractors that have been approved by Solectron (“*Approved Subcontractors*”) is set forth as Schedule L (Approved Subcontractors).

	(e)		In any subcontracts entered into by IBM after the Effective Date for performance of the Services, IBM will require the Subcontractor to be bound to IBM by all applicable terms of the Agreement and to assume toward IBM all of the applicable obligations and responsibilities that IBM, by the Agreement, has assumed toward Solectron. Unless approved otherwise by Solectron, IBM will also include in each such subcontract provisions (i) in the case of subcontracts dedicated to the provision of the Services to Solectron, permitting IBM to assign (without requiring Subcontractor’s approval) such subcontract to Solectron if IBM ceases to provide the subcontracted Services to Solectron, and (ii) using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to appoint Solectron an express third party beneficiary of any Solectron-specific SOW or work order under any such subcontract, or if there is no Solectron-specific SOW or work order then an express third party beneficiary of such subcontract, and en

EXECUTION COPY		Page 13 of 68

Solectron/IBM Confidential

titling Solectron to enforce the terms of such SOW, work order or subcontract, as the case may be, against the Subcontractor, provided that if, despite such efforts, IBM is unable to so appoint Solectron, IBM will notify Solectron and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to find a substitute Subcontractor or negotiate with such Subcontractor a resolution reasonably acceptable to Solectron. Prior to entering into any such subcontract, IBM will give Solectron reasonable prior written notice specifying the components of the Services affected, the scope of the proposed subcontract, the identity and qualifications of the proposed Subcontractor and the results of any due diligence carried out with regard to the proposed Subcontractor. At Solectron’s request, IBM will forward to Solectron a description of the scope and material terms (other than financial terms) of the proposed subcontract. Solectron may approve or reject proposed Subcontractors.

	(f)		IBM may use Approved Subcontractors to perform the Services to the extent permitted by Solectron’s approval. IBM is responsible for managing all Subcontractors. IBM remains responsible for all Functions delegated to Subcontractors to the same extent as if such Functions were retained by IBM and, for purposes of the Agreement, such Functions will be deemed Functions performed by IBM. IBM will be Solectron’s sole point of contact regarding the Services, including with respect to payment.

	(g)		IBM may disclose Solectron Confidential Information only to Subcontractors who have agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in a manner substantially equivalent to that required of IBM under the Agreement.

5.		SOLECTRON RESPONSIBILITIES

5.1		Appointment of Solectron Program Management Office (PMO) Personnel

Solectron/IBM Confidential

	(c)		“*Transfer Date*” means, in relation to each Transferred Person, the date on which his or her employment transfers to IBM (or its Affiliate).

	(d)		During the time period specified in the relevant Local Adoption Agreement, IBM may not, without Solectron’s prior written approval: (i) terminate, except for cause, the employment of any Key Transferred Personnel; or (ii) transfer or reassign any Key Transferred Personnel from Solectron’s account.

	(e)		The contracts for any Affected Personnel who are contractors, not employees of Solectron (or its Affiliates) will be terminated or, subject to receipt of any Required Consents in the manner provided in Section 7.2 (Required Consents), assigned to IBM. Actions to terminate or assign such contracts will be in accordance with a plan prepared by IBM and approved by Solectron. The Party responsible for any costs, charges and fees associated with such actions will be specified in the relevant Local Adoption Agreement.

7.2

Required Consents

	(a)		Solectron, with the cooperation of IBM, is responsible for identifying and resolving any confidentiality obligations or other restrictions on the disclosure to IBM of existing contracts and supplier relationships that are to be managed by IBM as part of the Services.

	(b)		If any third party consents are required to permit Solectron to disclose or assign to IBM, or permit IBM to use, any Software, third party service contracts or other resources for the purposes of this Agreement, IBM shall be responsible for obtaining such consents with the assistance of Solectron.

The agreed IBM solution is described in Annex A5 (IBM Solution).

	(b)		Working with Solectron, IBM has developed a plan describing the Projects and associated activities necessary to accomplish the Transition successfully. That plan (the “*Transition Plan*”) is set forth or described in Annex A7 (Transition Plan).

	(c)		As part of the Transition, IBM will also assume responsibility for completing the Projects listed or described in Annex A6 (In-flight Projects), which are in progress as of the Effective Date (the “*In-flight Projects*”).

8.3		Conduct of the Transition

		Beginning on the Effective Date, IBM will carry out and complete the Transition in accordance with the Transition Plan, including its time schedule. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transition Plan, IBM’s responsibilities with respect to the Transition include:

	(a)		Performing and managing the Transition and In-flight Projects;

	(b)		Establishing, setting up, configuring, and testing, prior to their use, any communications lines, network connections, Equipment, Software, tapes, records and supplies, as made necessary by the Transition; and

	(c)		performing the Services without material interruption, and without adversely disrupting Solectron’s business operations.

8.4		Solectron Cooperation and Support

* Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

it to cause) a problem or delay in the Transition and work with Solectron to prevent or circumvent the problem or delay.

	(b)		Solectron may elect to suspend the Transition at any time, including in the event the Transition is not proceeding substantially in accordance with the requirements of the approved Transition Plan or is causing unplanned disruptions or other material adverse effects to Solectron’s (or its Affiliates’) businesses. During any suspension period, IBM will continue to perform the Services as required under the Agreement in the manner the Services were performed prior to the commencement of the applicable phase of the Transition. Suspension of the Transition, where caused by IBM’s failure to perform material obligations in respect of the Transition in accordance with the requirements of the approved Transition Plan or the Agreement, will be at no additional charge to Solectron and will continue until IBM demonstrates, to Solectron’s reasonable satisfaction, that IBM is ready to comply with such requirements and/or end any disruptions or adverse effects. IBM will be responsible, at no additional expense, for achieving the Transition schedule notwithstanding the suspension; provided, however, that if Solectron suspends or stops the Transition due to no fault of IBM, and if the suspension would cause IBM to incur incremental costs or expenses, IBM may so notify Solectron, providing a good faith estimate of such costs and expenses IBM expects to incur. In that case, Solectron’s right to continue the suspension will be subject to Solectron agreeing to reimburse IBM for its incremental costs and expenses incurred as a direct result of the suspension

	(c)		Delays In Transition

			Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there are delays to the Transition, Solectron shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as specified below:

	(i)		If the delays, whether or not material, to the Transition are due to the fault of IBM and constitute a material breach, Solectron shall have the right, subject to IBM’s right to cure such delay within 15 days of notice from Solectron, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3(c).

	(ii)		If the material delays to the Transition are due to the actions or failures of Solectron, its Affiliates or their contractors, as described in Section 5.3 (Savings Clause), Solectron shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3(c). Solectron shall be responsible for the applicable Wind Down Costs, Unamortized Costs [*], if any, as set forth in Schedule C (Charges).

Solectron/IBM Confidential

to IBM Independent IP set forth in this Section 10.3 (IBM Independent IP) will terminate upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.

	(f)		Solectron will have the right to engage a third party to access and use the IBM Independent IP on behalf of Solectron and its Affiliates solely for benefit of Solectron and its Affiliates to the extent necessary for Solectron to receive and use the Services. In such event, Solectron will be responsible for causing such third party to comply with the applicable terms of the Agreement and, as between Solectron and IBM, for purposes of the Agreement, such access and use by a third party for Solectron will be deemed access and use by Solectron.

	(g)		If IBM embeds any IBM Independent IP in a Deliverable under this Agreement, and this Agreement or a Project, Work Order or Statement of Work issued hereunder, does not expressly identify such IBM Independent IP and does not either specify the license Solectron would have in and to such IBM Independent IP or make Solectron responsible for obtaining a license to such IBM Independent IP, IBM hereby grants to Solectron and its Affiliates an irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free, nonexclusive license to: maintain, modify, and enhance, use, access, execute, display, perform, reproduce and distribute copies of such IBM Independent IP solely in their imbedded form and solely for the purpose of exercising any and all of Solectron’s and its Affiliates’ intended rights pursuant to the Agreement in the Deliverables containing them. Modifications to and enhancements of any such embedded IBM Independent IP shall be and be treated as IBM Independent IP.

10.5		Ownership of Deliverables

	(a)		During performance of the Services, IBM Personnel may produce Deliverables. One or more Schedules to this Agreement will identify the Deliverables as being “Type I Materials,” “Type II Materials,” “Type III Materials” or otherwise as the Parties may agree. If not so identified, Deliverables will be deemed to be Type I Materials. Deliverables that are modifications or enhancements to IBM Independent IP will be treated as Type II Materials.

	(b)		“*Type I Materials*” are those Deliverables in which Solectron will own all right, title and interest (including ownership of copyright), and IBM hereby grants and assigns to Solectron all such right, title and interest

(including ownership of copyright). IBM will retain one copy of the Type I Materials. Solectron hereby grants IBM (1) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, paid-up license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, distribute (internally and externally) copies of, maintain, modify and enhance, and prepare Derivative Works based on, Type I Materials, and (2) the right to authorize others to do any of the former. IBM’s license rights to Type I Materials will be subject to any and all obligations of confidentiality with respect to any Solectron Confidential Information that may be contained therein. Modifications to, enhancements of and Derivative Works from any such Type I Materials will be, and be treated as Type I Materials.

	(c)		“*Type II Materials*” are those Deliverables in which IBM (or third parties) will have all right, title and interest (including ownership of copyright). To the extent Solectron would retain any such right, title and interest (including ownership of copyright) under applicable law, Solectron hereby grants and assigns to IBM all such right, title and interest (including ownership of copyright). IBM will deliver one copy of any Deliverables that are Type II Deliverables to Solectron, or such other number as the Parties may agree. IBM hereby grants to Solectron and its Affiliates (1) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, paid-up license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, distribute, maintain, modify, enhance and create Derivative Works of (within Solectron’s Enterprise) copies of Type II Materials and (2) the right to authorize others to do any of the foregoing solely for purposes of providing services to Solectron or one or more of its Affiliates. Any modifications, enhancements or Derivative Works of Type II Materials will be, and be treated as, Type II Materials.

	(d)		“*Type III Materials*” are those Deliverables in which Solectron will have all right, title and interest (including ownership of copyright) without IBM having any right of reuse. IBM hereby grants and assigns to Solectron all such right, title and interest (including ownership of copyright).

Solectron/IBM Confidential

restricted right to grant licenses (including the right for any licensees to grant sublicenses) to third parties thereunder without the consent of or accounting to the other Party.

	(b)		Where one Party seeks patent protection on an Invention, it will do so at its own expense and will have full control and discretion over the prosecution and maintenance of such protection, even though title to any patent issuing thereon will be and will remain joint without any consent or accounting, as provided in Section 10.6(a), above. In the event that the Party responsible for the maintenance of a patent elects to discontinue maintenance of any such jointly owned patent, or otherwise take any action that could reasonably lead to the invalidation or material diminishment in the scope of such patent, such Party grants the other Party the right to take any reasonable action with regard to the continued maintenance of such patent in such circumstances.

	(c)		Each Party (and their respective Affiliates) will be solely liable for any compensation that may be due to any employees of such Party (or its Affiliates) who first conceive or reduce to practice Inventions that are subject to the provisions of Section 10.6(a), above.

(c)

All licenses and rights of Use granted under or pursuant to the Agreement shall be deemed to be, for the purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses to rights in “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the licensee of such rights shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against either Party under the Bankruptcy Code, the other Party shall be entitled to retain all of its license rights and Use rights granted under the Agreement.

10.9

Solectron/IBM Confidential

11.3

Termination By Solectron

(a)

Termination for Cause. Solectron may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, for cause and effective as of a date specified in a written notice of termination given to IBM in any of the following circumstances:

	(i)		a material breach of the Agreement by IBM that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days after the date IBM receives notice of the breach from Solectron (the *“Notice Period”*) (in which case Solectron’s termination shall become effective within five (5) business days of Solectron’s notice);

	(ii)		a material breach of the Agreement by IBM that can reasonably be cured within the Notice Period but which has not been cured within the Notice Period unless IBM (A) has submitted to Solectron within the Notice Period a commercially reasonable plan to cure the breach within sixty (60) days after the date IBM receives notice of the breach from Solectron (the *“Extended Cure Period”*), (B) proceeds diligently according to the plan and (C) cures the breach within the Extended Cure Period (in which case Solectron’s termination shall become effective when IBM fails to perform any one of steps (A) through (C)); or

	(iii)		a series of multiple breaches of its duties or obligations, none of which individually need constitute a material breach of the Agreement, but which, in view of IBM’s history of breaches, whether or not cured, collectively constitute a material breach of the Agreement, provided that Solectron’s notice to IBM shall be provided within a maximum of 6 months after the last such breach upon which Solectron bases its termination. For the purposes of clarity, the cure periods set forth in Sections 11.3(a)(i) or 11.3(a)(ii), as appropriate, shall apply to a notice given under this Section 11.3(a)(iii);

(b)

Removal of Services in Lieu of Termination. If Solectron is entitled to terminate the Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 11.3(a), Solectron may instead cancel or remove from scope any Functions that are the subject of the breach or breaches giving rise to the right to terminate and any other Functions that are materially affected by such breach or breaches; provided that if such Functions form part of the P2P Operations Services, such cancellation or removal will be accomplished via the Change Management Process. In such case, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to identify equitable adjustments to the Charges and other relevant terms necessary to reflect appropriately the removed portion of the Services.



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 31 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

* Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

Any such cancellation or removal will be without prejudice to any other rights available to Solectron with respect to the breach or breaches entitling Solectron to terminate the Agreement.

(c)

Termination for Convenience.

	(i)		Solectron may terminate the Agreement for convenience (i.e., for any reason or no reason), in whole or in part, effective twenty-four months after the Master Agreement Effective Date by giving IBM at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice specifying the terminated Services and designating the termination date. In such event, Solectron will pay to IBM on the effective date of termination any applicable Wind Down Costs, Unamortized Costs [*], if any, set forth in Schedule C (Charges). If a purported termination for cause by Solectron under Section 11.3(a) is found by a competent authority not to be a proper termination for cause, then such termination will be deemed to be a termination for convenience by Solectron under this paragraph.

	(ii)		Solectron may terminate the Strategic Sourcing Services provided under this Agreement for convenience by paying the Wind Down Costs and Unamortized Cost, if any, associated with such Services [*](as specified in Schedule C) if IBM fails in any Contract Year to achieve Actual Savings equal to at least 40% or more of Committed Savings for that Contract Year, after any applicable adjustments to Committed Savings that are required in accordance with Annex B-1 (Savings Calculation Methodology).

	(d)		Termination Following an IBM Change of Control. If (i) another entity acquires Control, or all or substantially all of the assets, of IBM (or any Affiliate of IBM involved in performance of a material portion of the Services), whether directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or (ii) IBM (or any Affiliate of IBM involved in performance of a material portion of the Services) is merged with or into another entity, then, at any time during (but not after) the 180-day period following the Change in Control and subject to applicable Wind Down Costs, Unamortized Costs [*], if any, set forth in Schedule C (Charges), Solectron may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part by giving IBM at any time during such 180-day period at least ninety (90) days prior written notice specifying the terminated Services and designating the termination date.

	(e)		Termination in Other Circumstances.



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 32 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

	(i)		Force Majeure. Solectron may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 19.3 (Force Majeure).

	(ii)		Bankruptcy/Insolvency. Solectron may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, if IBM becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they come due or enters into or files (or has filed or commenced against it) a petition, arrangement, application, action or other proceeding seeking relief or protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or similar laws of the United States, any state of the United States or any other Country Location (in which case Solectron’s termination shall become effective within five (5) days of Solectron’s notice).

	(iii)		Termination for Cause of Local Adoption Agreements. Without limiting its rights pursuant to Section 11.3(a), Solectron may terminate the Agreement in whole or in part if Solectron terminates for cause one or more Local Adoption Agreements that, individually or collectively, constitute at least 40% of the total value of Services then contemplated to be provided to Solectron and its Affiliates under the Agreement and all Local Adoption Agreements (including the Local Adoption Agreement(s) to be terminated) during the remainder of the Term as of the date that notice of termination of such Local Adoption Agreement(s).

11.4

Termination By IBM

(a)

If, and only if, Solectron fails to pay IBM when due undisputed charges totaling at least one (1) months’ charges under the Agreement, or withholds amounts in excess of those authorized by Section 9.4(c) (Disputed Charges) of Schedule C (Charges), and does not cure the failure by the end of the notice period set forth below, IBM may terminate the Agreement as of a date specified in the notice of termination

(b)

IBM’s notice of overdue payment will be sent to the attention of Solectron’s Global Program Manager, with a copy to Solectron’s General Counsel, will expressly reference this Section 11.4 (Termination By IBM), will set forth the overdue amount, and will expressly state that IBM may terminate the Agreement if such failure to make payment is not cured within ten (10) business days after Solectron’s receipt of such notice.

11.5		Extension of Termination Date

		Solectron may extend the effective date of termination/expiration once in its discretion. The extension may not exceed 180 days following the effective date of termination/expiration in place immediately prior to the initial extension under this Section. If any extension notice provided to IBM within 60 days of the then-scheduled date of termination/expiration would cause IBM to incur Out-of-



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 33 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

Pocket Expenses, IBM may so notify Solectron, providing a good faith estimate of such Out-of-Pocket Expenses IBM expects to incur. In that case, the extension of the Agreement’s Term pursuant to the notice will be subject to Solectron agreeing to reimburse IBM for its additional Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred as a result of the extension notice being provided within 60 days of the then-scheduled date of termination/expiration.

11.6

Partial Termination

If the Agreement is terminated in part pursuant to this Section 11 (TERM AND TERMINATION), the portions of the Agreement not terminated will continue in force according to the terms of the Agreement. If the Agreement does not otherwise provide or specify the basis for determining IBM’s charges for the continuing Services that are not terminated, the charges payable under the Agreement will be equitably adjusted to reflect the Services that have been terminated.

11.7

Disengagement Assistance

	(a)		“*Disengagement Assistance*” means, collectively, the additional Functions (i.e., in addition to the continued performance of the Services) that IBM is required to carry out in connection with the cessation of any Services or the expiration or earlier termination (for any reason) of the Agreement, in whole or in part, to facilitate the orderly wind-down or, as applicable, migration of the affected Services from IBM’s operating environment(s) to the replacement operating environment(s) of Solectron and/or its designee(s), as directed by Solectron as necessary to permit Solectron and/or its designee(s) to assume and take over the performance of the Functions or to perform services similar to the terminated Services.

	(b)		Upon Solectron’s request, which in the case of expiration may be made up to one year prior to the scheduled expiration of the Agreement, IBM will provide such Disengagement Assistance as Solectron may reasonably request, including the assistance described in Schedule K (Disengagement Assistance). The Parties will develop and agree on a plan for the performance of the Disengagement Assistance, which will indicate staffing levels and additional IBM Personnel, as well as additional charges due IBM if applicable according to Schedule C (Charges). If



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 34 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

Solectron is entitled under the Agreement to a sublicense or other right not previously granted to Use after the termination or expiration of the Agreement any Software owned or licensed by IBM (or its Subcontractors, if any), IBM will timely grant such sublicense or other right in order to fully comply with its obligations with respect to the grant of such license.

	(c)		In the process of deciding whether to undertake or allow termination, expiration or renewal of the Agreement, in whole or in part, Solectron may consider or seek offers for performance of services similar to the Services following termination or expiration. As and when reasonably requested by Solectron for use in such a process, IBM will provide to Solectron such information and other cooperation regarding performance of the Services as would be reasonably necessary for a third party to prepare an informed offer for such services. The types of information and level of cooperation to be provided by IBM pursuant to this paragraph will be no less than those initially provided by Solectron to IBM prior to commencement of the Agreement and do not extend to the publication of IBM Confidential Information or the disclosure of any information listed in Annex A-9 (“IBM Competitive Content”).

	(d)		Subject to (and in addition to any extensions arising from Solectron’s exercise of its rights under) Section 11.5 (Extension of Termination Date), the Disengagement Assistance will continue, as requested by Solectron, for up to six (6) months following the initially scheduled effective date of termination/expiration. Charges (if any) for such activities by IBM will be as provided in Schedule C (Charges).

11.8		Survival

		Any provision of the Agreement that contemplates or governs performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of the Agreement will survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason.

12.		GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

12.1		Governance Structure and Processes

	(a)		IBM acknowledges that it is a key business requirement of Solectron that IBM provide the Services in a consistent, integrated manner globally across all Country Locations. To meet that requirement, IBM has organized its Solectron relationship and service delivery team as described in Schedule F (Governance Structure and Processes).

	(b)		Schedule F (Governance Structure and Processes) also contains a description of the committees and governance processes the Parties have formed and will use to govern their relationship and activities under the Agreement.

Solectron/IBM Confidential

12.2		Meetings

		Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, the Parties will determine an appropriate set of meetings to be held between their representatives, which will include at least a quarterly meeting of IBM’s Global PE with Solectron’s Global PM and at least a monthly meeting of each IBM Regional PE with his or her counterpart Solectron Regional PM. IBM will prepare and circulate an agenda sufficiently in advance of each meeting to give the participants an opportunity to prepare for the meeting. IBM will make such changes to the agenda as Solectron may request. Solectron will chair all such meetings. At Solectron’s request, IBM will prepare and circulate minutes promptly after each meeting. Minutes of the meetings will not be binding on either Party to the extent they are inconsistent with the Agreement.

12.3		Reports

	(a)		Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, the Parties will determine an appropriate set of periodic reports to be issued by IBM to Solectron, which will include the reports described in Annex F-2 (Reports) and which be issued at the frequency reasonably requested by Solectron.

	(b)		Reports provided by IBM, including the reports described in Annex F-2 (Reports), will be modified during the Term as reasonably requested by Solectron to enable Solectron to achieve the objectives specified in Section 1.2 (Objectives).

12.4

Procedures Manual

	(a)		The “*Procedures Manual” is a document (or set of documents) to be prepared by IBM describing how IBM will perform and deliver the Services under the Agreement, the Equipment and Software used, and the documentation (e.g.*, operations manuals, user guides, specifications) that provide further details of the activities. The Procedures Manual will describe the activities IBM proposes to undertake in order to provide the Services, including those direction, supervision, monitoring, staffing, reporting, planning and oversight activities normally undertaken to provide services of the type IBM is to provide under the Agreement. The Procedures Manual will include any Interaction Models developed to document specific processes or interactions between the Parties. The Procedures Manual also will include descriptions of the acceptance testing procedures approved by Solectron, IBM’s problem management and escalation procedures, and the other standards and procedures of IBM pertinent to Solectron’s interactions with IBM in obtaining the Services. The Procedures Manual must be suitable for use by Solectron to understand the Services.

	(b)		Attached as Annex F5 (Draft Procedures Manual Table of Contents) is a draft table of contents for the Procedures Manual. Working in consulta-



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 36 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

tion with Solectron, IBM will deliver a draft Procedures Manual to Solectron within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date for review and comment. The draft Procedures Manual must be comprehensive (addressing all relevant components of the Services) and customized to the Solectron engagement (i.e., neither generic nor high level), and must include drafts of the Interaction Models. The Procedure Manual will be organized generally in accordance with Annex F5 (Draft Procedures Manual Table of Contents), but may include additional sections or provisions as appropriate. IBM will incorporate or address reasonable comments or suggestions of Solectron and will finalize the Procedures Manual within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date. The final Procedures Manual will be subject to the approval of Solectron. The initial and final versions of the Procedures Manual will be Deliverables under the Agreement.

	(c)		The Procedures Manual will be considered an operational document, which IBM may revise with the written approval of Solectron’s Global PM without the need to amend the Agreement. IBM will periodically update the Procedures Manual to reflect changes in the operations or procedures described in it. Updates of the Procedures Manual will be provided to Solectron for review, comment and approval.

	(d)		IBM will perform the Services in accordance with the most recent Solectron-approved version of the Procedures Manual. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Agreement and the Procedures Manual, the provisions of the Agreement will control.

	(e)		Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Contract Year, IBM will provide a status report to Solectron indicating the most recent date on which the Procedures Manual was updated by IBM.

	(f)		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10 (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS), Solectron (and its Affiliates) may retain and Use the Procedures Manual in their businesses and for their benefit both during the Term and following the expiration or termination (for any reason) of the Agreement. Subject to appropriate non-disclosure agreements for the limited purpose of protecting any Independent IP of IBM incorporated into the Procedures Manual, Solectron (and its Affiliates) may permit any of their other service providers to use the Procedures Manual during and after the Term, but solely in connection with the provision of services for Solectron (and its Affiliates) other than services similar to the Services, and solely to the limited extent, if any, necessary for such service provider to provide such services. Following the termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, or Solectron’s election to terminate the Strategic Sourcing Services as authorized by this Agreement, and subject to appropriate non-disclosure agreements for the limited purpose of protecting any Independent IP of IBM incorporated into the Procedures Manual, Solectron (and its Affili-



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 37 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

ates) may permit any of their other service providers to use the Procedures Manual to perform services similar to the terminated Services. If IBM considers any Independent IP incorporated into the Procedures Manual to be highly confidential, it may so notify Solectron. In that case, Solectron will cooperate with IBM to permit IBM to prepare a special version of the Procedures Manual redacting and/or otherwise masking the sensitive information that Solectron will use when disclosing the Procedures Manual to other service providers in a fashion designed to preserve to the fullest extent possible the usefulness of the procedures manual for its primary intended purposes. In addition, the content of Annex A-9 (“IBM Competitive Content”) shall not be included in any version of the Procedures Manual provided to any third party.

13.

AUDITS AND RECORDS

13.1

Audit Rights

(b)

Audits will be conducted during business hours and upon reasonable written advance notice to IBM, which notice may be in the form of an email to the IBM Global PE, but in any event not less than ten (10) busi-

Solectron/IBM Confidential

ness days, except in the case of Audits by regulators, emergency or security Audits, and Audits investigating claims of illegal behavior (in which cases Solectron shall provide such advance written notice as is reasonable under the circumstances). Audits will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with IBM’s (or, as applicable, its Affiliate’s or Subcontractor’s) business. Solectron and its Auditors will comply with IBM’s security and reasonable confidentiality requirements when accessing facilities or other resources owned or controlled by IBM. IBM will cooperate fully with Solectron and its Auditors in conducting Audits and provide such assistance as they reasonably require to carry out the Audits, including installing and operating audit software and providing such other assistance as is reasonably requested by Solectron to enable Solectron to comply with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to disclosure controls and procedures and other similar laws (the “Control Rules”).

(c)

IBM will, at its cost and expense (except as otherwise provided in this Section), maintain financial and operational controls and procedures (the “Controls”) with respect to the Services for review and approval by Solectron in accordance with the then-applicable Solectron standards. IBM will:

	(i)		update the Controls in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Procedures Manual, as such procedures may be modified by Solectron from time to time, such updates to be reviewed and approved by Solectron;

	(ii)		cooperate with Solectron’s Auditors in connection with executing Solectron’s testing procedures in a manner that complies with Solectron’s then current policies for the Controls and such other Solectron disclosure controls and procedures for which such cooperation is reasonably necessary, to ensure that the Controls function as documented;

	(iii)		cooperate with Solectron and its Auditors in their design, documentation and implementation of any changes in the Controls requested by Solectron to comply with the Control Rules; and

	(iv)		promptly notify Solectron of and remediate within a reasonable amount of time any significant deficiency (as that term in defined by the PCAOB) in the performance of the Controls.

(d)

The implementation of, and any changes to, the Controls will be subject to Solectron’s prior approval. If Solectron requests any change to any previously-approved Controls and such change would give rise to a non-trivial increase in the cost to IBM of rendering the Services, IBM’s compliance with the requested change will be subject to the Change Control Process.

Solectron/IBM Confidential

(e)

If any Audit of IBM’s charges determines that IBM has incorrectly invoiced Solectron, IBM will issue, on the next invoice submitted to Solectron, a credit or debit, as appropriate, to correct the inaccuracy. Audits will be conducted at Solectron’s expense; provided, however, that if any Audit of IBM’s charges determines that IBM has over-charged Solectron by an amount equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of IBM’s total invoiced charges for the period being audited, and IBM does not successfully dispute the discrepancy identified by such Audit, then IBM will reimburse Solectron upon request for the reasonable cost of the Audit, if such Audit was conducted on a non-contingent basis.

13.2

Audit Follow-up

	(a)		Following an Audit, Solectron may provide IBM a written report summarizing the Audit’s findings as to any actual or potential errors, weaknesses in controls, or other problems affecting the Services or Solectron Data, violations of the Agreement or other issues pertaining to IBM (or its Subcontractors) (each, an “*Audit Finding*”).

	(b)		Within thirty (30) days after receiving a report from Solectron containing Audit Findings, IBM will submit a corrective action plan to Solectron addressing each Audit Finding and describing the steps IBM has taken or plans to take to rectify it, including the timetable for completing each step. If IBM disputes any Audit Findings, the corrective action plan will explain the basis on which IBM’s disputes them.

	(c)		IBM will incorporate or address any reasonable comments or suggestions of Solectron concerning IBM’s corrective action plan.

13.3

Records Retention

	(a)		In support of Solectron’s Audit rights, IBM will keep and maintain (at its own expense) (i) financial records relating to the Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, (ii) records substantiating IBM’s invoices, (iii) records pertaining to IBM’s compliance with the Service Levels, including root cause analyses, (iv) records pertinent to verifying the integrity of Solectron Data under the possession or control of IBM (and its Affiliates and Subcontractors) and such entities’ compliance with the data privacy, data protection, confidentiality, intellectual property and security requirements of the Agreement, (v) such records pertaining to performance of the Services as are necessary for Solectron to comply and demonstrate compliance with the Control Rules, and (vi) such other operational records pertaining to performance of the Services as IBM keeps in the ordinary course of its business.

	(b)		IBM will retain such records and provide access to them upon request for Audits until the last to occur of the following: (i) five (5) years after ex-



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 40 of 69

piration or termination of the Agreement; (ii) all pending matters relating to the Agreement (including disputes) are closed; and (iii) the information is no longer required to meet Solectron’s records retention policy as disclosed to IBM, as such policy may be revised from time to time. Before destroying or otherwise disposing of such records, IBM will provide Solectron with sixty (60) days prior notice and offer Solectron the opportunity to recover the records or to request IBM to deliver the records to Solectron, with Solectron paying IBM’s Out-of-Pocket Expenses based on IBM’s good faith estimate of the Out-of-Pocket Expenses IBM expects to incur.

13.4

IBM Audits and Other Internal Reviews

	(a)		IBM will perform a security Audit at least annually and will cause a Type II Statement of Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 Audit (or equivalent audit) to be conducted annually for each primary shared services facility at or from which Services are provided. IBM shall, at its expense, no later than November 15 of each Contract year, provide to Solectron a multi-client SAS 70 Type II report covering the common processes performed by IBM at primary shared service locations in controlling and administering client accounts. In the year of transition, a SAS 70 will be provided only if transition is completed in sufficient time to allow six months of IBM performance prior to September 30.

	(b)		If IBM conducts other formal internal reviews, then to the extent the results or findings of any such internal reviews or related reports of IBM (or its Affiliates or Subcontractors) disclose information that reasonably could have a material adverse impact on the Services, IBM will promptly provide a summary of the report or finding from such internal review to Solectron and its independent auditors for review and comment. IBM will also correct any errors or problems identified by the review or in the report as soon as reasonably possible.

(d)

As necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Agreement, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Furnishing Party to any employee, officer, director, contractor, Service Recipient, agent or representative of the Receiving Party who has a legitimate need to know the information in question and who is bound to the Receiving Party to protect the confidentiality of the information in a manner substantially equivalent to that required of the Receiving Party under the Agreement. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, each Party will limit disclosure of any of the other Party’s information to the receiving Party’s Personnel (in the case of IBM providing the Services, and in the case Solectron, receiving the Services) who have a need to know such information.

(e)

Special Restrictions Regarding Certain Solectron Data.

	(i)		Without limiting the foregoing, IBM acknowledges that certain Solectron Data comprising (i) cost savings and related financial benefits achieved for Solectron in the course of providing the Services (ii) the terms and conditions (including pricing) of any third party contracts entered into by Solectron in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement, contains commercially sensitive information that is relevant to Solectron’s business dealings as a supplier of products and services to Solectron’s customers including IBM and IBM’s Affiliates.

16.8		Duration of Confidentiality Obligations

		The Receiving Party’s obligations under this Section 16(CONFIDENTIALITY) apply to Confidential Information of the Furnishing Party disclosed to the Receiving Party in connection with the Services before or after the Effective Date and will continue during the Term and survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement as follows:

		If any item used by IBM to provide the Services becomes, or in IBM’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation Claim that would be the subject of an indemnity from IBM pursuant to Section 18.2(e), IBM will, in addition to indemnifying Solectron Indemnitees as provided in this Section 18(INDEMNIFICATION) and to the other rights Solectron may have under the Agreement, (i) promptly at IBM’s expense secure the right to continue using the item, or (ii) if this cannot be accomplished with Commercially Reasonable Efforts, then at IBM’s expense, replace or modify the item to make it non-infringing or without misappropriation, provided that any such replacement or modification will not degrade the performance or quality of the affected components of the Services or disrupt Solectron’s business operations, or (iii) if both of the foregoing are commercially impracticable, and only in such event, then upon at least sixty (60) days’ notice to Solectron, unless otherwise compelled by a court or governmental order or agreed in writing by the parties, IBM may remove the item from the Services, in which case IBM’s charges will be equitably adjusted to reflect such removal. If removal of the item from Services causes the loss or material degradation of the Services or any portion of the Services, or disruption of Solectron’s business operations, Solectron may assert such loss or deg-

Solectron/IBM Confidential

radation or disruption constitutes a material breach of the Agreement by IBM in respect of which Solectron may exercise its termination rights under Section 11.3(a) with only 15 days for IBM to cure, and pursue its available remedies under the Agreement, at law or in equity.

18.4		Indemnification By Solectron

		Solectron will at its expense indemnify, defend and hold harmless IBM, any of its Affiliates and its/their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “*IBM Indemnitees*”) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them arising from, in connection with or based on any of the following, whenever made:

	(a)		Any Claim alleging unlawful discrimination, sexual harassment or wrongful termination by Solectron, its Affiliates or contractors, or any of their respective employees, based upon any protected class characteristic and occurring in connection with performance under this Agreement;

	(b)		Any Claim relating to an alleged breach of Solectron’s obligations under Section 16 (CONFIDENTIALITY) to not disclose the Confidential Information of the Furnishing Party to any person, or appropriate it, for the Receiving Party’s own use or for any other person’s use or benefit except as specifically permitted by the Agreement or approved in writing by the Furnishing Party;

	(c)		Any Claim for death or bodily injury, or the damage, loss or destruction of real or tangible personal property of third parties (including employees of Solectron and IBM and their respective subcontractors) brought against a IBM Indemnitee to the extent alleged to have been caused by the tortious acts or omissions of Solectron, Solectron personnel or anyone else for whose acts Solectron is legally responsible under applicable law; and

	(d)		Any Claim of alleged infringement as a result of Solectron’s failure to secure appropriate rights to the applicable patents held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Technology Licensing, L.P., including those relating to automated transaction processing utilizing communication facilities and/or computer telephony integration with respect to the operation of any service desk or call center in a facility owned or leased by Solectron and used on or after the Effective Date in connection with the Services.

	(e)		Any Claim by, on behalf of a Solectron employee or contractor arising in connection with this Agreement, or Solectron’s performance or non-performance or its responsibilities, hereunder, except to the extent, if any, that IBM is required under Section 18.2(Indemnification By IBM) to indemnify Solectron in respect of the Claim. In the case of a Claim by employees of Solectron, Solectron’s indemnification of IBM Indemnitees




Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 53 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

will be to the same extent as if the Claim was made by a person who is not an employee of Solectron;

	(f)		Any Claim that an item provided to IBM by on behalf of Solectron, or their use by IBM as authorized by this Agreement, infringes or constitutes misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. If any item provided to IBM becomes, or in IBM’s or Solectron’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation Claim, IBM will promptly cease using such materials and, at Solectron’s direction, either return or destroy such materials. For the avoidance of doubt, IBM’s ceasing to use such materials shall be subject to Section 5.3(Savings Clause).

	(g)		Any Claim for taxes (including interest and penalties) assessed against IBM that are the responsibility of Solectron under the Agreement or according to applicable law (except to the extent that Solectron’s failure to pay such taxes was due to a failure by IBM to perform the Services as specified in the Agreement);

	(h)		Any claim by a governmental entity for penalties, interest or other governmental sanctions resulting from Solectron’s breach of its obligations under Section 2.10(a)

18.5		Indemnification Procedures

		The following procedures will apply to Claims for which a Party seeks to be indemnified pursuant the Agreement:

(a)

Notice.Promptly after an indemnitee receives notice of any Claim for which it will seek indemnification pursuant to the Agreement, the indemnitee will promptly notify the indemnitor of the Claim in writing. No failure to so notify the indemnitor will abrogate or diminish the indemnitor’s obligations under this Section 18(INDEMNIFICATION) if the indemnitor has or receives knowledge of the Claim by other means or if the failure to notify the indemnitor does not materially prejudice its ability to defend the Claim. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving an indemnitee’s notice of a Claim, but no later than ten (10) days before the date on which any formal response to the Claim is due, the indemnitor will notify the indemnitee in writing as to whether the indemnitor acknowledges its indemnification obligation and elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (a “Notice of Election”). In issuing a Notice of Election, the indemnitor waives any right of contribution against the indemnitee unless the Notice of Election expressly states that indemnitor believes in good faith that the indemnitee may be liable for portions of the Claim that are not subject to indemnification by the indemnitor, in which case the indemnitee will have the right to participate jointly in the defense and settlement of the Claim at its own expense using counsel selected by it.




Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 54 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

	(b)		Procedure Following Notice of Election.If the indemnitor timely delivers a Notice of Election, it will be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of the Claim except as provided in Section 18.5(a)(Notice). After delivering a timely Notice of Election, the indemnitor will not be liable to the indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnitee in defending or settling the Claim. In addition, the indemnitor will not be required to reimburse the indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by the indemnitee in settlement of the Claim if the settlement was agreed to without the written consent of the indemnitor.

	(c)		Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered.If the indemnitor does not deliver a timely Notice of Election for a Claim, the indemnitee may defend and/or settle the Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the indemnitor, including payment of any settlement, judgment or award and the costs of defending or settling the Claim. The indemnitor will promptly reimburse the indemnitee upon demand for all Losses suffered or incurred by the indemnitee as a result of or in connection with the Claim.

18.6		Subrogation

		Upon fulfilling all of its obligations under this Section 18(INDEMNIFICATION) with respect to a Claim, including making payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to its indemnification obligations, the indemnitor will be subrogated to the rights of the indemnitee(s) with respect to that Claim.

19.		LIABILITY

19.1		General Intent

		Subject to the specific provisions of this Section 19 (LIABILITY), it is the intent of the Parties that if a Party fails to perform its obligations in the manner required by the Agreement, that Party will be liable to the

	(b)		Liability Cap.Except as provided in Section 19.2(d),each Party’s total liability to the other, whether in contract or in tort (including breach of warranty, negligence and strict liability in tort) or otherwise will be limited in the aggregate for all claims and causes of action to an amount (the “Liability Cap”) equal to twelve (12) times the average monthly fees paid or payable to IBM for the previous twelve (12) months. No Savings Credits, Service Level Credits or any fees due and payable for Services rendered hereunder (including Wind Down Costs, Unamortized Costs [*], if any, as specified in Schedule C (Charges)) will be considered damages subject to the foregoing exclusion of damages in Section 19.2(a) (Excluded Types of Damages) or the Liability Cap in this Section 19.2(b) and will not count against or reduce the amounts available under it.

	(c)		[*]

	(d)		Exceptions to Limitations of Liability.The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 19.2(Limitations of Liability) will not apply to any of the following: (i) Claims and Losses that are the subject of indemnification pursuant to Section 18(INDEMNIFICATION); or (ii) damages attributable to a Party’s breach of its obligations under Section 16(CONFIDENTIALITY) to not disclose the Confidential Information of the Furnishing Party to any person, or appropriate it, for the Receiving Party’s own use or for any other person’s use or benefit except as specifically permitted by the Agreement or approved in writing by the Furnishing Party, or a Party’s misappropriation or infringement of the other Party‘s Intellectual Property Rights.

	(e)		Stipulated Direct Damages.The Parties acknowledge and agree that the following will be considered direct damages and that neither Party will assert that they are types of damages that are excluded under Section 19.2(a) to the extent they result from a Party’s failure to perform in accordance with the Agreement:

(i)

Solectron/IBM Confidential

make backups as required under the Agreement (including failure to accurately or completely make such backups) or fails to maintain and store such backups;

	(iii)		Costs and expenses of replacing lost, stolen or damaged Equipment, Software or materials;

	(iv)		Incremental straight time, overtime and related expenses incurred by either Party, including overhead allocations for employees, wages and salaries of additional employees, travel expenses, overtime expenses, telecommunications charges and similar charges, incurred in connection with clauses (i) through (iii) above due to IBM’s failure to provide any Services as required by the Agreement or to otherwise perform in accordance with the Agreement;

	(v)		Costs and expenses incurred for Solectron (or its Affiliates) to bring the Services in-house or to contract to obtain services similar to the Services from an alternate source, including the costs and expenses associated with the retention of external consultants and legal counsel to assist with any re-sourcing;

	(vi)		Damages suffered by any Solectron Affiliate that would be direct damages if they had instead been suffered by Solectron; and

	(vii)		Payments, fines, penalties or interest imposed by a governmental body or regulatory entity for failure to comply with requirements or deadlines to the extent they are the subject of Sections 18.2(h) or 18.4(h).

(f)

Duty to Mitigate.Each Party has a duty to mitigate the damages suffered by it for which the other Party is liable.

19.3

Force Majeure

	(a)		“*Force Majeure Event*” means a fire, flood, earthquake, other act of God or nature, riot, civil disorder, act of terrorism or other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of a Party that delays or prevents the Party, directly or indirectly, from performing its obligations under the Agreement.

	(b)		A Party will not be liable for any default or delay in performing its obligations under the Agreement to the extent the default or delay is attributable to a Force Majeure Event provided (i) the non-performing Party (and any other vendors or contractors of the non-performing Party to




Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 57 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

* Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

whom the performance has been delegated) are without material fault in causing the default or delay, and (ii) the default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the affected Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means (including, with respect to IBM, by IBM meeting its obligations under the Agreement with respect to disaster recovery and business continuity).

	(c)		In such event the affected Party will be excused from further performance or observance of the obligations so affected for as long as the Force Majeure Event continues and the affected Party continues to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform whenever and to whatever extent is commercially reasonable without delay. A Party so hindered in its performance will immediately notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing the delay (to be confirmed in writing within twenty- four (24) hours after inception of the delay). That Party will also notify the other Party promptly when the Force Majeure Event has abated.

	(d)		If a Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders or delays performance of Services necessary for the performance of Functions reasonably identified by Solectron as critical for more than three (3) consecutive days following the end of the Recovery Time Objective specified in Section 2.7 (DRP Commitments) of Schedule J (Disaster Recovery), then at Solectron’s option: (i) Solectron may procure such Services from an alternate source for so long as the delay in performance continues, in which case IBM will be liable for reasonable payment for such Services from the alternate source, with Solectron continuing to pay IBM for the Services as if the Services provided by the alternate source were provided by IBM; (ii) if IBM has not instituted a reasonable plan and related measures designed to promptly restore performance of all affected Services as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty-one (21) days, Solectron may terminate all or any portion of the Agreement and Services so affected, in which case IBM’s charges under the Agreement will be equitably adjusted as necessary to reflect the terminated Services; and/or (iii) until such time as IBM has fully restored performance of the Services, Solectron may suspend the entire Agreement as of a date specified by Solectron in a written notice of suspension to IBM and shall only owe IBM compensation for Services performed prior to the Force Majeure Event. If Solectron terminates the Agreement under clause (ii) or

(iii)

above, Solectron will pay IBM’s charges for all Services performed under the Agreement, and any applicable Wind Down Costs, Unamortized Cost [*], if any, as specified in Schedule C (Charges). IBM will not be entitled to any additional payments from Solectron for costs or expenses incurred by IBM as a result of any Force Majeure Event.

20.13		Severability

		If any provision of the Agreement conflicts with the law under which the Agreement is to be construed or if any provision of the Agreement is held invalid by a competent authority, such provision will be severed from the Agreement. In any event, the remainder of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

20.14		Counterparts

		The Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, all of which taken together constitute a single agreement between the Parties. Each signed counter-part, including a signed counterpart reproduced by facsimile or other reliable means, will be considered an original.

21.		DISPUTE RESOLUTION

		Any material dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to the Agreement, including with respect to the interpretation of any provision of the Agreement or with respect to performance or non-performance under the Agreement, will be resolved as provided in this Section 21(DISPUTE RESOLUTION).

21.1		Informal Dispute Resolution

(a)

Subject to Sections 21.1(b) and 21.1(c), the Parties initially will attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement informally in accordance with the following:

	(i)		Within five (5) days after a Party receives notice of a dispute from the other Party (“*Dispute Date”), it will designate a senior representative (i.e.*, a person whose rank within the company is superior to that Party’s Global PE/PM) who does not devote substantially all of his time to performance under the Agreement, who will offer to meet with the designated senior representative of the other Party for the purpose of attempting to resolve the dispute amicably.

	(ii)		The appointed representatives will meet promptly to discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve it without the necessity of any formal proceeding. They will meet as often as the Parties deem necessary in order that each Party may be fully advised of the other’s position. During the course of discussion, all reasonable requests made by one Party to the other for non-privileged information reasonably related to the matters in dispute will be honored promptly.

	(iii)		The specific format for the discussions will be left to the discretion of the appointed representatives.




Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 62 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

(iv)

If the dispute has not been resolved within twenty-five (25) days after the Dispute Date, upon the request of either Party, the presidents or chief operating officers of IBM and Solectron will promptly meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute.

	(b)		Within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Date, if neither Party has commenced formal dispute resolution as permitted under Section 21.1(c), then either Party may initiate non-binding mediation of the dispute by submitting a written request for mediation describing the subject of the dispute and the relief requested to JAMS, the dispute mediation entity, with a copy to the other Party. The Parties will cooperate with JAMS and each other in the mediation process. The mediation will be conducted in accordance with the applicable practices and procedures of JAMS. If formal dispute resolution is commenced as permitted under Section 21.1(c), either Party may terminate the mediation process by so notifying JAMS and the other Party. Each Party will bear its own expenses in the mediation process and will share equally the charges of JAMS.

	(c)		Litigation of a dispute may be commenced by a Party upon the first to occur of any of the following:

	(i)		the appointed representatives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution of the dispute through continued negotiation does not appear likely;

	(ii)		ninety (90) days have passed from the Dispute Date if neither Party has requested mediation under Section 21.1(b), or ninety (90) days have passed from the date that one of the Parties requested mediation (these periods will be deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section 21.1 Informal Dispute Resolution) was not followed or completed); or

	(iii)		commencement of litigation is deemed appropriate by a Party to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith determination, including as provided in Section 21.4 (Equitable Remedies), that a breach of the Agreement by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive or conservatory relief is necessary.

21.2		Litigation

		For any litigation arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the transactions and relationships contemplated by the Agreement, regardless of the form of action or the Party that initiates it, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the United States District




Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		General Terms and Conditions Page 63 of 69

Solectron/IBM Confidential

Court for the Northern District of California or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any proceeding arising out of or relating to the Agreement in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California or the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County. The Parties further consent to the jurisdiction of any state court located within a district that encompasses assets of a Party against whom a judgment (or award) has been rendered for the enforcement of the judgment (or award) against the assets of such Party.

21.3		Continued Performance

		Each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under the Agreement while a dispute is being resolved except to the extent performance is prevented by the other Party or the issue in dispute precludes performance. For the avoidance of doubt, Solectron’s withholding payment of disputed charges as permitted under the Agreement will not be considered to prevent IBM from performing the Services, nor will this Section be interpreted to limit either Party’s right to terminate the Agreement as provided in Section 11 (TERM AND TERMINATION).

21.4		Equitable Remedies

		Each Party acknowledges that a breach of any of its obligations under the Sections of the Agreement listed below, or its infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party, may irreparably harm the other Party in a way that could not be adequately compensated by money dam-ages. In such a circumstance, the aggrieved Party may proceed directly to a court of competent jurisdiction notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 21(DISPUTE RESOLUTION). If such court should find that a Party has breached (or attempted or threatened to breach) any such obligations, such Party agrees that it will not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling its performance of such obligations and restraining it from any further breaches (or attempted or threatened breaches) of such obligations, even if such court does not make any findings of irreparable injury (provided the other required conditions to injunctive relief are satisfied). The following Sections are subject to this paragraph:

(a)

Section 9(DATA SECURITY AND PROTECTION);

Solectron/IBM Confidential

	(b)		Section 10 (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS);

22.		MISCELLANEOUS

22.1		Binding Nature and Assignment

		The Agreement is binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. IBM acknowledges that the Services are personal in nature and that, as a result, IBM may not assign the Agreement or delegate its rights or obligations under the Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Solectron except to an IBM Affiliate, subject to IBM retaining ultimate responsibility for any assigned obligations. Solectron may not assign the Agreement or delegate its rights or obligations under the Agreement without the prior written consent of IBM except to a Solectron Affiliate, subject to Solectron retaining ultimate responsibility for any assigned obligations, or to the successor in a merger or reorganization of Solectron or an entity that acquires Control of Solectron or acquires all or substantially all of Solectron’s business or assets. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section will be void and will constitute a material breach of the Agreement by the Party attempting the assignment. A Party assigning the Agreement or delegating its rights or obligations under the Agreement must provide notice of the assignment or delegation to the other Party within ten (10) business days after its effective date.

EXHIBIT 4
TO
INDIRECT SOURCING SERVICES AGREEMENT

IBM Supplier Conduct Principles

Forced or Involuntary Labor

IBM Suppliers will not use forced or involuntary labor of any type (e.g., forced, bonded, indentured or involuntary prison labor); employment is voluntary.

Child Labor

IBM Suppliers will not use child labor. The term “child” refers to any person employed under the age of 15 (or 14 where the law of the country permits), or under the age for completing compulsory education, or under the minimum age for employment in the country, whichever is greatest.We support the use of legitimate workplace apprenticeship programs which comply with all laws and regulations applicable to such apprenticeship programs.

Wages and Benefits

IBM Suppliers will, at a minimum, comply with all applicable wage and hour laws and regulations, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours, piece rates and other elements of compensation, and provide legally mandated benefits.

Working Hours

IBM Suppliers will not exceed prevailing local work hours and will appropriately compensate overtime. Workers shall not be required to work more than 60 hours per week, including overtime, except in extraordinary business circumstances with their consent. In countries where the maximum work week is less, that standard shall apply. Employees should be allowed at least one day off per seven-day week.

Nondiscrimination

IBM Suppliers will not discriminate in hiring and employment practices on grounds of race, religion, age, nationality, social or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, pregnancy, political affiliation, or disability.

Respect and Dignity

IBM Suppliers will treat all employees with respect and will not use corporal punishment, threats of violence or other forms of physical coercion or harassment.

Freedom of Association

Suppliers shall respect the legal rights of employees to join or to refrain from joining worker organizations, including trade unions. Suppliers have the right to establish favorable employment conditions and to maintain effective employee communication programs as a means of promoting positive employee relations that make employees view third-party representation as unnecessary.

Health and Safety

Suppliers will provide their employees with a safe and healthy workplace in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Consistent with these obligations, IBM Suppliers must have and implement effective programs that encompass life safety, incident investigation, chemical safety, ergonomics, etc., and provide the same standard of health and safety in any housing that is provided for employees.

INTRODUCTION

1.1

General Approach.

	(a)		This Schedule A describes the portions of Solectron’s indirect sourcing operations that are within the scope of the Agreement. It does so by means of the Scope Model set out in Annex A1 – matrices that map the standard processes (i.e., the functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks) performed by procurement organizations (referred to as the “Procurement Value Chain Processes” or “Processes”) against various categories of procured item and services (“Categories”) and the geography (“GEO”) to which the Categories are to be delivered (the combination of a Category and a GEO is referred to as an “Element”). This mapping is completed through the use of two matrices or sets of matrices. The first matrix (Matrix A2-1 entitled “Process — Service Group Matrix”) maps the Processes to standard Services Groupings. As an example: the “Issue PO” process is one of the processes that makes up the “P2P” Service Grouping. The second set of similar matrices (Matrices A2-1-a through e entitled “Service Group — Element Matrix Pass Through, P2P, Assess, Source and OCM” respectively) defines the Elements for which IBM is designated as the Actor for the identified Service Grouping. Each cell of a Service Grouping — Element Matrix represents the intersection of an Element with a Service Grouping and designates the Actor responsible for performing that Service Grouping with respect to such Element. As an example; IBM is the Actor responsible for the Source” Service-Groupings” for the “Contract Labor GL Code (#5050) in the EMEA GEO during Wave 1” Element and Solectron is responsible for the “P2P Service-Grouping” for the “Travel GL Code (5301) for the EMEA GEO” Element Element.

	(b)		The Actor designated in a Service Grouping — Element intersection is responsible not only for performing the indicated Service Grouping with respect to such Element, but also for providing the resources necessary to perform that Service Grouping, except to the extent (if any) that this Agreement expressly designates another Actor as having responsibility for providing any of those resources. Where IBM is the designated Actor for a Service Grouping in an Element intersection and the Agreement designates another Actor as having responsibility for providing resources, IBM’s responsibility to perform is subject to IBM receiving such resources from the Actor designated as having responsibility for providing those resources.

	(c)		Where an Interaction Model exists for a certain Service Grouping — Element intersection, each Actor is responsible for performing its identified responsibilities as described in that Interaction Model.

1.2

Manner of Performance.

(a)

As to the manner in which IBM is to perform the Services (the ‘How’), IBM shall perform the Services in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and its Schedules, that specify or otherwise regulate the manner of IBM’s performance of the Services.

	(b)		References to specific resources (e.g., tools, systems) in this Schedule A and the Annexes attached hereto that are used by IBM in performing the Services shall be deemed to include successor or replacement resources at no additional charge unless agreed via the Change Management Process.

	(c)		IBM shall perform the Services without regard to the technology platform used by IBM. Any changes to the technology platform shall be at IBM’s discretion to the extent such changes do not increase Solectron’s cost or adversely impact the performance of the Services, and shall be at IBM’s cost, unless agreed via the Change Management Process.

	(d)		Except as otherwise specified, references to time in this Schedule A shall be in local time for the Solectron location where the Services are performed.

1. Overview and General Approach

	1.1.		IBM will provide to Solectron, the managed procurement operations services that comprise (a) Strategic Sourcing Services and (b) P2P Operations Services. IBM will deliver Strategic Sourcing Services in two initial waves, as described in Annex A-7 (Transition Plan) and then continue to strategically source the Categories by providing Ongoing Category Management Services, as described in Annex A-1 (Scope Model) and Annex A-2 (Process Definitions). IBM will implement the P2P Operations Services in two waves, as described in Annex 7 (Transition Plan). Wave 1 will include the U.S and Canada and Wave 2 will include China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, UK, France, Hungary, Romania, Mexico, Sweden, Germany and Taiwan.

	1.2.		IBM’s procurement solution is based on the following key principles:

	1.2.1.		utilization of IBM’s P2P Platform and IBM’s standard P2P processes to provide standardization across the Solectron organization globally while maintaining the appropriate balance between local and global needs;

	1.2.2.		limited P2P Platform configuration to meet Solectron business requirements as described in the Preamble to the Agreement and as further specified in the Agreement;

	1.2.3.		leveraging IBM’s global scale, sourcing expertise and market knowledge; and

	1.2.4.		leveraging IBM’s skills and resources that have helped position procurement as a core competency within IBM; and

	1.2.5.		using the Emptoris suite of e-sourcing and contract management modules.

1.3.

Common Business Processes — Except for unique business processes required by local country laws, common business processes will be implemented on a global basis.

	1.3.1.		There will be: one common tax solution using standard SAP tax functionality (e.g. pay as presented); one common set of commodity codes; one common set of layout sets (five per company code (PO, Contract, PO Alteration, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and RTV)); and one common set of general ledger and cost center information providing financial and accounting information for a single financial legacy system accepting HR data from a single HR system and providing invoice information to a single consolidated payment system (Harbor).

	1.3.2.		IBM will set up User IDs for Solectron Users pursuant to Annex A-7 (Transition Plan), and IBM will make up to 100 User IDs available to Solectron that grant access to the P2P Business Warehouse functionality.

	1.3.3.		There will be a standard approval process employed with three hierarchy-based approvers. There will be three levels of hierarchical management approval (i.e. an HR-driven approval structure specified by Solectron), and a special approver at the company-code level for a maximum of twenty limited commodities to be specified by Solectron.

	1.3.4.		Language Support for Solectron and supplier interactions will be as set out in the below table.

	1.4.		Reporting and Performance Measures — IBM’s solution provides for web-based reporting to authorized Solectron employees for the operational reports listed in Annex F2 (Operational Reports). Upon completion of the Transition, IBM will populate its business warehouse with the data from requisitions, purchase orders, non-PO requests, and invoices, for contracts and suppliers that are loaded onto the P2P Platform, after which, defined reports may be run on-demand by Solectron licensed users. The data in the business warehouse will be updated on a nightly basis. Data will be maintained online for a period of three years, and will be archived after such three year period in accordance with a mutually agreed data-archiving plan.

	1.5.		Compliance — Compliance is comprised of two factors: (1) contractual compliance (i.e. use of strategically sourced contracts) and (2) process compliance (i.e. adherence to the procurement process.) IBM’s solution is designed to capture 100% of actual indirect spend.

1.5.1.

Contractual Compliance — IBM’s approach is to direct as much commodity spend and transactional volume as is practical to strategically sourced catalogs and contracts.

	1.5.1.1.		Requisitions for purchases that can not be executed through an available contract or catalog will be routed to a professional buyer. The buyer will seek to understand and clarify the requirements for the purchase. When the requirements are clear, the purchase will be sourced in accordance with the preferred sourcing strategy and suppliers. If, in clarifying the requirements, it becomes clear that an existing catalog or contract purchase can be used, the requisition will be modified accordingly.

	1.5.1.2.		Buyers who perform Full Buyer Purchases are responsible for analyzing why a Full Buyer Purchase was necessary, and when appropriate, interacting with strategic sourcing teams to confirm that the available catalogs and contracts are expanded and updated to keep the system current and applicable to Solectron’s business needs. Buyers who perform Full Buyer Purchases are measured and rewarded as a result of how effectively they source a one-off custom


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-4

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

purchase and also in terms of actions taken to avoid repeat events in the future.

1.5.2.

Process Compliance — The key to managing non-compliant spend is the IBM centralized management of indirect invoices. IBM’s solution is designed so that the only way to have an invoice paid for indirect spend is through the IBM process. Invoices received by IBM directly that do not have a matching PO, and are not from a specified list of Non-PO categories, people etc, will be noted and followed up in accordance with the process set out in Section 1.5.2.1. Invoices received directly by Solectron employees must be submitted for payment authorization through IBM’s solution via a Web Payment Request.

	1.5.2.1.		IBM will route such invoices to the appropriate supplier (based upon the supplier information on the invoice), notify such supplier that a purchase order is needed for the invoice and that the supplier should contact their requester. The requester must then generate a proper requisition, which is routed for approvals and bridges over to the buyer. The IBM buyer is then responsible for contacting the requester to understand why the purchase was made outside the procurement process The IBM buyer will generate a corresponding purchase order. and will code the PO as a non-compliant procurement (a “Bypass”), allowing for subsequent reporting metrics. IBM will measure process Bypasses on a monthly basis and will educate the appropriate Solectron employees and management regarding the value of adhering to the established procurement processes. IBM buyers will also contact and educate the supplier who provided the goods or services without a purchase order, implementing corrective actions with the supplier as well.

	1.5.2.2.		These interactions with users and suppliers typically provide for “low key education” in the initial weeks and months. However, as Bypass events are recorded and reported, users and/or suppliers with repeated events without justifiable reasons, will require additional and firmer action. Regarding suppliers, IBM will take increasingly firm positions with the supplier, advising on and implementing agreed consequences around payment of the invoices due to process delays (late payment), as well as consequences of being an unreliable supplier when strategic sourcing waves are undertaken.

	1.5.2.3.		Regarding Solectron employees, IBM will provide reports on commodities and individuals who purchase items outside the procurement processes to Solectron through the regular governance process. To maximize the value of the Services to Solectron, IBM recommends that Solectron implement strong, consistent and effective management policies to prevent such activities in the future, recognizing that 100% compliance is typically not feasible due to local conditions and one-off situations. As above, this will typically take the form of communications from executives to verify the business process requirements are understood by these individuals, but as time elapses, and repeat Bypass occurrences continue, IBM recommends that Solectron Management implement management actions to handle and reduce Bypasses, including disciplinary action proportionate to the event.


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-5

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

	1.5.3.		Communication and Assistance — To reinforce the above processes and reports, IBM will provide a Customer Assistance Center so that a simple, single point of contact exists so that Solectron users and suppliers can make easy contact to clarify requisitions, purchase orders, specifications, delivery requirements, etc. This Customer Assistance Center is the hub of the integrated solution and has the responsibility to provide usability assistance, resolve queries and/or connect requisitioners and/or suppliers with appropriate buyers.

	1.5.4.		Management and Business Model — IBM Committed Savings is based on an assumed range of compliance levels over the Term. Such compliance levels are lower in the first two years, increasing as the systems and processes are rolled out. For clarity, the assumed compliance levels also assume that strategic sourcing contracts and catalogs are in place for those contracts that have been negotiated.

2. Strategic Sourcing and P2P Operations Services

2.1.

Strategic Sourcing

	2.1.1.		IBM will assume responsibility for the strategic sourcing processes for assigned Categories and Geographies as of the Effective Date of the Agreement. There will be a mix of dedicated and non-dedicated strategic sourcing resources placed on the Solectron account. Such resources will be skilled in specific in-scope indirect commodities. The majority of these resources will reside regionally and globally, while some may be co-located (as required) at Solectron sites for a period of time in order to meet Solectron’s business requirements defined in the Preamble to the Agreement and as further specified in the Agreement.

	2.1.2.		The strategic sourcing group will liaise with key Solectron stakeholders, in developing and executing Solectron’s commodity strategies, and with the IBM Procurement buyers to implement and manage Solectron’s commodity fulfillment channel strategies. The strategic sourcing group will provide leadership to guide Solectron stakeholders through the strategic sourcing process and to elicit information from Solectron as required allowing strategic sourcing projects to proceed efficiently. This group will also work closely within their respective commodity markets to understand industry trends and relate them to the supply base for integration into their ongoing commodity strategies.

	2.1.3.		IBM will conduct strategic sourcing activities for in-scope commodities utilizing the Emptoris suite of e-sourcing and contract management modules.

	2.1.4.		Approach and Commodity Groupings — IBM utilizes a proven six step strategic sourcing methodology, which IBM has used both internally and with external clients. The approach is to form commodity teams, comprised of IBM commodity subject matter experts (SMEs) and key Solectron stakeholders, who will define and execute detailed commodity sourcing strategies tailored to Solectron’s business requirements.

	2.1.5		Measuring Compliance During The Migration Period — During the migration period, IBM will conduct strategic sourcing activities that may generate commodity savings. Pending implementation of an automated method to calculate and track compliance via the P2P Platform, IBM will utilize a manual approach to measure Solectron’s user compliance to the strategically sourced contracts.


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-6

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

2.1.5.1

Committed Savings from these initial strategic sourcing activities are based on certain levels of Solectron user compliance. To increase the probability of Solectron user compliance:

	2.1.5.1.1		Solectron will distribute IBM-provided education materials related to the strategic sourcing services and will consider IBM guidance and suggestions with regard to effective and reasonable enforcement policies.

	2.1.5.1.2		IBM will, as part of it’s strategic sourcing methodology, develop and implement a comprehensive transition plan to newly sourced contracts that includes Solectron management and user involvement.

	2.1.5.1.3		In the absence of a fully implemented P2P Platform, IBM will measure User compliance to strategically sourced contracts through a combination of supplier data, cross-checked against Solectron legacy system data for the contracted suppliers and commodity codes where data is available.

2.2

P2P Operations

	2.2.1		In addition to the ongoing Strategic Sourcing Services described above, IBM will assume responsibility for Solectron’s indirect procurement and accounts payable operations for each in-scope country effective upon completion of the applicable Wave.

	2.2.2		There will be fifteen legal entities on the P2P Platform, one legal entity per country will be implemented in accordance with Annex A-7 (Transition Plan).

	2.2.3		Requisitioning — The IBM solution will direct all in-scope Solectron spend through six (6) commodity-specific fulfillment channels:

	2.2.3.1		Method 1 — Hosted Catalogs — This method will be used for low value, high volume purchases. Catalog content is strategically sourced by IBM on Solectron’s behalf. Solectron requesters will select goods or services from these catalogs and the ensuing requisitions will be routed for management approval via established workflow within EBP. Approved requisitions are sent automatically to IBM’s SAP 4.7 system, which will automatically issue a corresponding purchase order to the supplier.

	2.2.3.2		Method 2 — Punch Out Catalogs — This method will be used for suppliers where the catalog is too large to host internally or where the supplier has a ‘configuration engine’ built into their website. Catalog content is strategically sourced by IBM on Solectron’s behalf. The requester will be automatically routed to the supplier website for purposes of filling the shopping cart, but the completed shopping cart is pulled back into EBP and then routed for approvals via established workflow. Approved


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-7

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

			requisitions are sent automatically to IBM’s SAP 4.7 system, which will automatically issue a corresponding purchase order to the supplier.

	2.2.3.3		Method 3 — Contract Purchasing — This method will be used where orders are to be tied to strategically sourced contracts. IBM buyers will load these contracts into EBP for incorporation in the hosted catalog, which will provide only authorized groups and individuals visibility to specific supplier content which can be used to automate the population of a requisition which is then routed for approvals within EBP via established workflow. Approved requisitions are sent automatically to IBM’s SAP 4.7 system, which will automatically issue a corresponding Purchase order to the supplier.

	2.2.3.4		Method 4 — Full Buyer (Tactical Buying) — This method (a “Full Buyer Purchase”) will be utilized where there are no supplier catalogs or contracts in place for the required commodity. This may be because the requester requires items that are custom or one-off goods or services, or are to be sourced from non-standard suppliers. The Solectron requester will complete a purchase requisition in EBP, which is then routed for approvals based upon established workflow. Approved requisitions are sent automatically to IBM’s SAP 4.7 system, which routes the requisition to the proper IBM buyer, based on commodity grouping or location. The buyer will verify that no existing contract or catalog covers the required goods or services and if applicable based on established business rules, the IBM buyer will perform Tactical sourcing and issue a corresponding Purchase order to the chosen supplier.

	2.2.3.5		Method 5 — Non PO (Web Based Payment Request (WPR) — Certain in-scope commodities may not be suitable to direct through a purchase requisition/purchase order process due to limited potential value-add of the procurement process. For example, honorariums for guest speaker engagements would not benefit from a purchasing process, yet the spend may be considered in-scope. IBM’s solution offers an alternate (non-PO) process called Web Payment Request, which allows Solectron requesters to input invoice details into EBP to enable payment of suppliers. It is important to note that IBM and Solectron will agree on which specific sub-commodities will be approved only for this process. This process is intended for use on a strictly controlled basis and is not intended to be an approved procurement bypass mechanism. This facility validates that 100% of spend is visible through the procurement system for reporting and audit purposes.

	2.2.3.6		Method 6 — Corporate Procurement Card — This method is available only to the extent Solectron selects and utilizes American Express as the Solectron Procurement card provider. IBM will use the existing Solectron Procurement card provider, American Express. Each P-card holder will require a profile with default accounting information populated. IBM will work with American Express to obtain sufficient file download


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-8

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

			that can be fed into to the P2P Platform as a non-PO interface. No account checking will be performed prior to the electronic upload. American Express will send an invoice statement to the American Express cardholder with as much invoice detail as American Express is able to provide. Managers will also be able to obtain a copy of the statement by pulling it from an access controlled American Express website.

			The file for P-Card will be consolidated by American Express and come into P2P as one single electronic batch invoice file without any account validation. Reporting information from IBM BW will be limited to what is provided by American Express on the batch file into IBM.

			American Express will either (1) send an invoice statement to the Solectron Requester based on employee serial number with as much invoice detail as American Express is able to provide or (2) provide an online statement for the requestor to review. The statement to the employee will be a negative confirmation; if there are invoice discrepancies, the employee will need to resolve with the supplier. In such a case, the supplier will have to issue a credit to the card account which will be posted on the next monthly feed from American Express. Managers will also be able to obtain a copy of the statement by pulling it from an access controlled American Express website.

2.2.4

Requisition Tool — The key attributes of the requisition tool are:

	2.2.4.1		Requesters may select from a list of family codes available for use based on type of buy, as well as selecting from a list of Sub-Commodities based on family code. Requesters may search for an item by Text, Supplier Part Number, Buying Company Part Number or Manufacturing Part Number. A fuzzy search capability is also provided.

	2.2.4.2		Requesters may buy on behalf of another person.

	2.2.4.3		Based on commodity or commodity code, requisitions will be automatically populated with the correct accounting information. Split accounting can be specified. Accounting validation will be performed.

	2.2.4.4		Requesters will be able to select the desired type of accounting: capital accounting, expense accounting.

	2.2.4.5		Requesters may expedite a requisition or identify it as an emergency requisition.

	2.2.4.6		Requesters may enter a suggested supplier on the requisition, except if a Preferred Supplier already exists.

	2.2.4.7		Requesters may add notes to suppliers or buyers when submitting a requisition, or they may attach documents to a requisition at the line item level. Requesters may also add additional fields for individual line items.


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-9

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

	2.2.4.8		Special approvers can be configured to meet Solectron business needs (tax, financial, capital, safety, chemical, corporate).

	2.2.4.9		An Approver may delegate responsibility to another Approver.

	2.2.4.10		Anyone in the approval chain may add another, non-standard approver.

	2.2.4.11		If a requisition has been rejected, notification of the rejected requisition will be sent to the requester together with the reason for the rejection.

2.2.5

Catalog Management — IBM will create and maintain online supplier catalogs as the result of the initial migration and strategic sourcing efforts. As part of the ongoing Strategic Sourcing Services, IBM will support and maintain additional catalogs as a result of the ongoing strategic sourcing efforts. IBM will bring new supplier catalogs into the system, test and stage those catalogs prior to moving them to production, and will set up the proper authorizations to allow Solectron requesters to buy from them. Authorized IBM buyers must approve each catalog for use in the production environment.

	2.2.5.1		The IBM catalog manager will have the ability to establish user access controls to catalogs and contracts through the establishment and maintenance of user views at the global, company, plant, and department levels. The IBM catalog manager will also have the ability to modify the catalog content to improve fuzzy search capabilities.

	2.2.5.2		Hosted catalogs will be received and loaded into EBP. Multiple supplier catalogs can be merged into a single EBP hosted catalog (for example, a single commodity catalog), and requesters will be able to search individual supplier catalogs inside the main hosted catalog. Catalogs will display graphic images of items if provided by the suppliers.

2.2.6

Procurement — The procurement delivery organization is aligned across six delivery centers located in Endicott, New York; Greenock, Scotland; Bangalore, India; Budapest, Hungary; Hortolandia, Brazil and Shanghai, China.

2.2.6.1

IBM’s approach to tactical procurement covers a wide continuum and extends far beyond traditional transaction execution.


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-10

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

	2.2.6.2		IBM’s tactical buyers will communicate regularly and coordinate with the strategic sourcing teams to collaborate on new opportunities and to assist in deploying contracts. Also, the tactical buyers will provide input to the teams regarding compliance issues, supplier performance issues, and operational trends.

	2.2.6.3		IBM buyers manage to the established procurement policies and procedures. Records and documentation of controls are maintained in a manner that will allow independent assessment of overall compliance posture. Quarterly self-audits are performed and exceptions must have management signoff.

	2.2.6.4		IBM manages the approved requisitions that require Full Buyer Purchases (as described in Method 4 above) according to a dollar clip level which will be specified in the Procedures Manual. Below the clip level, IBM buyers will drive to place the order with a contracted supplier. Above the clip level, should there be no strategic contract in place, IBM buyers will perform tactical sourcing on behalf of Solectron to establish fair value determination and select the best supplier for the specific requisition.

	2.2.6.5		Prior to conducting a tactical sourcing exercise, IBM will analyze commodity data, validate any existing contractual obligations, seek to leverage the spend opportunity, and identify and validate the potential supply base.


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-11

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

2.2.6.6

IBM uses four primary approaches in tactical sourcing to evaluate pricing and select the best supplier for a specific requisition:

	2.2.6.6.1		Competitive Evaluation — A competitive evaluation is performed by cross-functional teams, including Solectron stakeholders. The approach is collaborative with IBM and Solectron stakeholders to pre-define scoring criteria and weighting and may include factors other than price (i.e. delivery performance, technical advantages, etc).

	2.2.6.6.2		Competitive Bid — A competitive bid process includes collaboration with Solectron stakeholder to pre-define the evaluation criteria; communication of defined scope and project specifications; arranging site visits and pre-bid meetings; receiving and evaluating bid proposals and summarizing proposals for review with Solectron stakeholders.

	2.2.6.6.3		Auctions — An auction involves creating standard RFQ/Auction templates, which include standard terms and conditions, contact information, specifications, financing/payment preferences & terms and delivery tolerances or auction length. Under this approach, IBM will establish criteria for supplier selection, in accordance with business rules provided by Solectron, and, to the extent the business rules do not specify or are not appropriate, the criteria may include credit rating, contact information and area of expertise; circulate the RFQ/Auction to internal Solectron organizations such as legal, finance, engineering and management for review and approval, as required. There are multiple RFQ/Auctions scheduled at the same time. The process includes utilizing auction tools to execute on line bidding process.

	2.2.6.6.4		Analytic Techniques — IBM will leverage its market intelligence database resources; use spend analysis benchmarking and cost-build-up analysis.

	2.2.6.7		IBM buyers will access the Emptoris e-Sourcing Portfolio for the purpose of creating RFx documents in support of the buyer-initiated RFx process. Qualified suppliers can also access the Emptoris application via web browser, for the purpose of reviewing and responding to RFx documents, via direct access to the application and/or via the IBM Supply Portal. Suppliers will be allowed to discount bids with flexible pricing schedules, bundled pricing and volume discounts.

	2.2.6.8		IBM buyers will use Emptoris to perform bid analysis, establish and exercise “what if” award scenarios, and to finalize supplier award. Emptoris will automatically send win/loss notices to participants via e-mail. IBM buyers can indicate whether


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-12

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

			awarded bids, RFx or Auction, are to be satisfied by issuing a Purchase order or creating a Contract.

	2.2.6.9		IBM will manage the day-to day routine purchasing functions, including review of requisitions, preparing the necessary documentation on each purchase order, verifying hat price and payment terms are consistent with Solectron requirements, placement of purchase orders, processing alterations and cancellations, delivery expediting, and managing blocked invoices. IBM buyers will act as the day-to-day focal point for supplier relations and will liaise between suppliers and Solectron requestors, addressing supplier performance issues, managing returns, clarifying requirements, and addressing miscellaneous business issues. In the United States, IBM buyers will identify and engage qualified minority (MWBE) suppliers and drive appropriate spend to them consistent with the overall commodity strategy established by the strategic sourcing teams.

	2.2.6.10		The tactical buying team will develop and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ relationships with key stakeholders through on-site presence and quarterly reviews.

2.2.7

Accounts Payable Processing — The Accounts Payable delivery organization is aligned across six (6) delivery centers located in Endicott, New York; Bangalore, India; Budapest, Hungary; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Shanghai, China; and Dalian, China.

2.2.7.1

A single chart of accounts will be implemented globally.

The following diagram describes the accounts payable activities that occur in each center

The following diagram depicts the accounts payable General Process Overview.

2.2.7.2

There will be six scanning locations (as set out in the table below) and resources setup at IBM in-country facilities. Those countries without a scanner will need to receive the invoices from the supplier and mail the invoice to an IBM shared delivery center. Negative confirmation will be used for goods receipt matching for indirect non-receivable type of invoices, but there will be positive confirmation for items exceeding a specified value (to be determined). SAP’s EBP will be used globally by Solectron to submit non-PO check requests for indirect payables.

2.2.7.3

IBM’s electronic invoicing tools will be used for indirect invoices on the P2P Platform for countries where it is applicable. IBM will utilize a global imaging and workflow technology as well as scanners.

2.2.8

IBM’s Enabling Technology for Accounts Payable — The following tools will be incorporated into the P2P Platform :

2.2.8.1.1

Electronic Invoice Processing

	2.2.8.1.1.1		Supply Portal — IBM’s Supply Portal solution is a web application for vendors that hosts the WOI (Web Order and Invoicing) application. In addition, the portal offers a number of features for suppliers: (1) Supplier registration and administration; (2) Display PO, PO Confirmation, Invoice Data, Rejected Invoice; (3) Sort and search for specific (invoicing) documents; (4) Collect invoice data via a browser; (5) Ability to allow a supplier to accept, reject or recommend changes to a purchase order and generate an order response transaction back to SAP; (6) Displaying general contact information like phone number and email address including feedback function via email to a help desk to report problems and get questions answered and (7) Generating e-mail alerts for suppliers’ action.

	2.2.8.1.1.2		WOI (Web Order and Invoice) — WOI is an invoicing application accessed by the supplier via the Supply Portal. It uses the purchase orders generated in IBM’s EBP and SAP systems to pre-populate a standard invoice form which the supplier can then finalize and submit as an electronic invoice. This process avoids the invoicing errors typically encountered, thereby greatly reducing the number of invoices that need to be returned to suppliers.

	2.2.8.1.1.3		WPR (Web Payment Request) — WPR is a web-based application which will allow Solectron personnel to request payments and reimbursements for non-purchase order-related purchases. It will be used for invoices directly received by / sent to the requester.

2.2.8.1.2

Paper Invoice Processing — Invoice Scanning & Archiving via ‘Content Manager’ — In the absence of electronic invoices, the IBM platform offers a

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

			manual, paper-based invoicing process. In this case the supplier will send the invoice to a central mailbox. The invoice will be imaged and electronically stored in the archive (Content Manager). After approval and invoice posting, the SAP document number will be automatically attached to the imaged document.

	2.2.8.1.3		Confirmation of Receipt — Positive or Negative Confirmation of Goods Receipt — IBM’s platform includes either a positive or negative confirmation, by the requestor, of ordered indirect goods and services. Once an invoice is received, an approval (which may be either a positive or negative confirmation) is required to validate the 3-way match (for PO-based invoices only). Depending on the commodity type, the system requires either a positive confirmation (after being informed via workflow the requestor has to confirm the goods receipt in EBP) or a negative confirmation (the receipt is assumed, the requestor will only intervene if the goods were not received). The advantage of utilizing the negative confirmation process is a more efficient end-to-end ‘no touch’ process. It is important to note that IBM and Solectron will agree on which specific sub-commodities will require a positive confirmation.

2.2.9

Vendor Master Maintenance — Accuracy of vendor master data is one of the key factors to achieving efficient, timely and accurate transactional supplier management. As such, this solution assumes that the platform will hold the primary vendor master file for Solectron’s indirect suppliers.

Technical Solution — For the post-migration strategic platform operations, global IT support will be provided primarily from the IBM sites located in Poughkeepsie, New York, and Endicott, New York. Application Maintenance Services will be conducted in Endicott, and Application Hosting services will be conducted in Poughkeepsie. These two sites will also provide appropriate ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ and Level 3 support to the global Customer Assistance Center. Solectron users will access the hosted IBM environment via the internet.

	3.1.1		Provided in local currency for in-scope countries.

	3.1.2		Configured to handle catalog purchases (either hosted or “shop-out/roundtrip”), on-line contracts based on SAP outline agreement capabilities, free-form requisitions for ad-hoc purchases, and Web Payment Requests for non-purchase order activity.

	3.1.3		Desktop Receiving will be enabled only for specific commodities which require a positive confirmation of delivery.

	3.1.4		Approval workflow and commodity code structure are targeted to be consistent across the Solectron enterprise.

	3.1.5		Accounting structures will be configured to meet Solectron’s business requirements.

	3.1.6		Standard requester query capabilities.

3.2

SAP 4.7 — SAP 4.7 will function as the Purchasing and Invoice Matching engine. Key attributes are follows:

	3.2.1		Purchase order creation and transmission

	3.2.2		Configuration to allow invoice imaging and Web Order Invoicing

	3.2.3		Cost element validation (cost center, G/L, etc.)


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Annex A-5 Page A-5-17

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

	3.2.4		Vendor master replication

	3.2.5		Purchasing organization and company code assignment validation

	3.2.6		Invoice matching

	3.3		SAP BW Version 3.5 — IBM has an SAP BW platform configured and in use. A Solectron-specific data cube will be built enabling Solectron end-users to access reports on demand.

	3.4		e-Sourcing and Contract Management — IBM’s solution includes Emptoris as an e-sourcing tool in order to facilitate RFP/RFI and auction capabilities or as a stand-alone tool for sourcing engagements.

	3.5		Data/File Transfer — As of the first Go-live date, the IBM solution will deploy a hub to hub architecture to achieve integration between Solectron and IBM systems. The hub to hub solution will allow structured data to be sent and received between each environment. Appendix B attached hereto lists a description of the data/files to be exchanged. The Parties will agree on the necessary data and file formats as specified in Annex A-7. For clarity, on the receiving end, IBM is responsible for providing the data/file standards to which the Solectron-provided data must comply. On the sending end, IBM will provide data in accordance with the data/file standards provided by Solectron; Solectron is responsible for loading this data into Oracle.

Customer Assistance Center (CAC)— The IBM BTO Procurement Customer Assistance Center is a customer focused contact center designed to deliver a high quality service in an efficient, cost effective manner. The Solectron Global Customer Assistance Contact Center service will encompass supplier management, an end user helpdesk dealing both with employee and supplier queries, as well as service management. Performance measures will be tracked and reported monthly.

	4.1		Support Details — Solectron users and suppliers may contact the CAC via telephone, fax and email. They will reach a dedicated desk in one of the center’s three locations, supporting the following activities: (1) Single point of contact for user and supplier enquiries throughout the procurement process; (2) “How to” usability questions on procurement applications; (3) First point of contact for technical support on procurement applications and (4) Supplier status inquiries.

	4.2		On calling the Solectron CAC, should there be any major issues affecting a significant number of users, users will initially hear a service status message advising of the problem and the anticipated resolution. This means that a significant number of users calling about that major incident will immediately receive the information they require without the need to speak with a customer service agent.

	4.3		Following any status message, users will be routed to a skilled agent. Routing is automatic for language, but users will be offered an options menu in their local language to enable their call to be directed to an appropriately skilled agent. Solectron’s users can also choose to create their service request by email.

	4.4		Support will be provided for the following Geographies/Countries and associated languages as described below.

	4.5		A group leader will monitor incoming customer interactions on a real time basis deploy staff to cover peaks, particularly on incoming telephone contacts.

	4.6		Calls will be routed primarily via the telephony system to the agent best equipped to resolve the issue the first time. IBM’s customer service agents will be trained on the procurement systems and processes. To achieve this, IBM has invested heavily on training program within IBM’s contact centers that not only provide technical expertise in core roles but also cross training to broaden the agents’ personal skills and to offer additional flexibility and increased utilization. IBM will operate a multi-skilled team of agents, group leaders and managers who will support Solectron’s users, providing an end-to-end Solectron Customer Assistance Center service via phone, fax and email.

1. Introduction

This Annex 7 (Transition Plan) to Schedule A (Services) outlines the activities and describes the specific objectives of the work necessary to implement the P2P Platform and complete the initial sourcing (the work is referred to as the “Transition” and this outline is referred to as the “Transition Plan”)) including Solectron’s and IBM’s respective responsibilities, the required time frames, and people responsible for individual tasks necessary for the migration of the Services from Solectron to IBM. Within 30 days after the Effective Date, IBM will draft the detailed Transition Plan for Solectron’s review and approval. The detailed Transition Plan will be consistent in all respects with this Annex 7, including the activities and deliverables described herein.

1.1 Transition Overview

Transition activities will commence as of the Effective Date and shall include certain sourcing activities performed under the LOA (signed January 9, 2006). From the start of the Transition activities through the completion of the Wave 2 P2P implementation (the “Transition Period”), IBM will migrate the Services from Solectron to IBM. The graph below depicts the transition overview.
[*]

Within the Transition Plan, the following applies:

	•		Transition of the Services shall occur in two waves, each ending with a common Go Live Date for the countries included in as in scope for that wave;

	•		The first wave (“Wave 1”) shall include Canada and the U.S., and the second wave (“Wave 2”) includes China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, UK, France, Hungary, Romania, Mexico, Sweden, Germany, Taiwan. Wave 2 may also include certain other countries in which Solectron operates.

			The Parties anticipate that Operational Service Levels will improve during the Term, and be adjusted (i) as set forth in this section, and (ii) in addition by mutual agreement through a periodic review process.

	4.2		Annual Improvement

	(a)		For each twelve (12) consecutive month period where IBM has not failed a given Critical Service Level, the Critical Service Level metrics for that Critical Service Level shall be improved by an amount equal to [*] of the difference between such then-current Critical Service Levels and IBM’s actual performance (as defined below) of such Critical Service Levels.

	(b)		As used in this Section 4.2 and Section 5.2(c), below, “*IBM’s Actual Performance*” means the average monthly performance achieved by IBM during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.

NEW OPERATIONAL SERVICE LEVELS

5.1

Specification by Solectron

	(a)		Solectron shall have the right to have new Operational Service Levels established in response to changes in Solectron’s business or technology needs, changes in the Services, and similar circumstances. Solectron shall exercise such right by providing written notice to IBM, via the Change Management Process, identifying the new Operational Service Levels to be established.

	(b)		Not later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of Solectron’s notice, IBM and Solectron shall meet to discuss (i) the new Operational Service Level, (ii) the tool, software, or other method to be used to measure the new Operational Service Level, (iii) whether such new Operational Service Levels is eligible is to be a Critical Service Level, and (iv) such other matters as are necessary to establish the new Operational Service Level. Solectron shall, based on historical attainment, information provided by IBM or another process, specify the performance level (the “*Initial Service Level*”) for any new Operational Service Level.

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

(c)

If IBM agrees with the Initial Service Level proposed by Solectron, such new Operational Service Level will become effective on the first day of the third month following the month in which the new Operational Service Level is agreed, or such other date as the Parties agree. If IBM does not agree with the Initial Service Level, then the Initial Service Level will be revised based on the process specified in Section 5.2, below.

5.2

Baselining Process

	(a)		In the event that IBM does not agree with the Initial Service Level specified by Solectron for the new Operational Service Level, then not later than thirty (30) days after such meeting, IBM shall submit to Solectron (i) industry-standard benchmarks for such Operational Service Level, to the extent available to IBM, or (ii) performance measurements for such Operational Service Level based on IBM’s experience, to the extent available, or (iii) a baselining plan for generating statistically valid samples of performance measurements for such new service level (each, a “*Baselining Plan*”). Baselining Plans shall be subject to Solectron’s approval.

	(b)		Upon approval of a Baselining Plan, IBM shall collect the measurements for the new Operational Service Level for a period not to exceed six (6) months, or such other period as is agreed to by the Parties, (the “*Baselining Period*”). During the Baselining Period, IBM will use reasonable efforts to meet or perform superior to the Initial Service Level but will be excused from any Service Level Credits for failure to perform the Service at the Initial Service Level.

	(c)		After the Baselining Period, if IBM has satisfied the Initial Service Level specified by Solectron in any 3 consecutive months during the Baselining Period, the actual measurement(s) shall be averaged to determine such Initial Service Level. If for any five (5) months during the Baselining Period IBM did not meet or perform superior to the Initial Service Level, IBM shall propose to Solectron a modification to the Initial Service Level based on one of the following: (i) IBM’s Actual Performance during the Baselining Period unless the Parties agree that a longer period is required to statistically represent the Solectron environment, (ii) the industry benchmark provided by IBM pursuant to Section 5.2, or (iii) the performance level based on IBM’s experience provided by IBM pursuant to Section 5.2.

	(d)		If the Parties are unable to agree on a Baselining Plan within forty (40) days after the meeting denoted in Section 5.2(a), above, or if the Parties are unable to agree upon an Operational Service Level within thirty (30) days after the Baselining Period, the Parties shall take such matter to the dispute resolution process described in the Agreement.

5.3

Designation as Critical Service Level

Annex B1

Savings Measurement Methodology

1. INTRODUCTION

This Annex B1 (Savings Measurement Methodology) describes the method by which Actual and Committed Savings will be calculated.

2. DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise defined in the Agreement, the following capitalized terms used in this Annex B2 shall have the meanings specified below:

	(a)		“*Actual Savings*” shall mean the sum of the Actual Strategic Sourcing Savings plus Actual Tactical Savings.

	(b)		“*Actual Strategic Sourcing Savings*” shall mean the actual savings produced through IBM’s strategic sourcing activities, as calculated in accordance with Section 4 (Savings Calculation) as and when realized and as validated and agreed to by Solectron in Sections 7.3 (Review & Agreement) and 7.6 (Savings Opportunities Rejected by Solectron). These savings will be compared to Committed Strategic Sourcing Savings to determine any savings shortfall or excess.

	(c)		“*Actual Tactical Saving*s” shall mean the actual savings produced through IBM’s tactical sourcing activities as calculated in accordance with Section 4 (Savings Calculation) as and when realized and as validated and agreed to by Solectron in Sections 7.3 (Review & Agreement) and 7.6 (Savings Opportunities Rejected by Solectron). The Actual Tactical Savings will be compared to Committed Tactical Savings to determine any savings shortfall or excess.

	(d)		“*Actual P2P Savings*” means the actual level of P2P Savings achieved in a period. Actual P2P Savings shall be calculated in accordance with Section 4 and shall be validated and agreed to by Solectron.

	(e)		“*Addressable Spend*” is defined in Schedule C (Charges).

	(f)		*“Addressable Strategic Sourcing Spend”* mean Addressable Spend as defined in Schedule C.

	(g)		*“Addressable Tactical Sourcing Spend”* means the spend that IBM has estimated, as being Tactically Sourced during the Term.

	(h)		“*Baseline*” shall mean the measure of the price of a category that Solectron would have paid but for IBM’s Strategic or Tactical Sourcing actions, as determined pursuant to Section 6 (Baseline).

*		Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

	(i)		“*Category*” shall mean a grouping of similar goods or services.

	(j)		“*Committed Savings*” shall mean the sum of Committed Strategic Sourcing Savings and Committed Tactical Sourcing Savings. Committed Savings may be adjusted in accordance with Section 7.5 (Adjustment of Committed Savings).

	(k)		“*Committed Strategic Sourcing Savings*” are the savings that IBM commits to achieving by its efforts to strategically source the Addressable Spend. IBM’s Committed Strategic Sourcing Savings as of the Effective Date are shown in Table B of Section 3.1 (IBM Responsibilities).

	(l)		“*Committed Tactical Sourcing Savings*” are the savings that IBM commits to achieving by its efforts to tactically source the Addressable Tactical Souring Spend. IBM’s Committed Tactical Sourcing Savings are shown in Table B of Section 3.1 (IBM Responsibilities).

	(m)		“*Compliance Rate*” shall mean the Compliant Spend for the period of interest divided by the sum of Compliant Spend for the period of interest plus non-Compliant Spend for the period of interest, with the resulting amount expressed as a percentage.

	(n)		“*Compliant Spend*” shall mean with respect to (i) an IBM strategically sourced contract and (ii) a Solectron strategically sourced contract renegotiated by IBM, (individually the “SSC” and collectively the “SSCs”), spend placed through the SSCs after notice of each is provided to the applicable organization or personnel within Solectron, and, if applicable, once each SSC is fully functionally represented on the P2P platform. Compliant Spend shall mean, with respect to a period of interest, all compliant spend made with respect to all SSCs in place during the period of interest and while the SSCs were in place during the period of interest. Spend during the period of interest that should have been placed through the SSCs but for the actions or insistence of Solectron, was not placed through the SSCs is “non-Compliant Spend” during the period of interest. Spend is neither Compliant Spend nor non-Compliant Spend during the period of interest if (A) there are no SSCs in place covering the supply of the applicable good or service for the geography involved or (B) the spend is not placed with an SSC because the good or service is not in stock, or is unavailable within the time period required if ordered through the SSC or (C) a Solectron strategically sourced contract.

	(o)		“*Expected P2P Savings*” are the P2P Savings that IBM has projected as the likely result of the implementation of this Agreement. Solectron has included these Expected P2P Savings in its business case for this Agreement.

4. SAVINGS CALCULATION

4.1 Actual Strategic Sourcing Savings Calculation.


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-4

Confidential to Solectron and IBM


*		Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

(a)

Actual Strategic Sourcing Savings will be calculated based on actual spend during the term of the contract in which the newly negotiated pricing is in place by multiplying the variance between:

(i)

[*]

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

	(i)		For any contract strategically sourced by IBM, except as specified in Sections 4.1(b)(ii) or 4.1(b)(iii), no savings will be calculated to accrue against such contract after the earlier of (A) 12 months following the effective date of such contract, (B) the effective date of a new contract which replaces such contract, or (C) the date upon which such contract expires.

	(ii)		Renegotiated Contracts. In the event that during a 12-month period following the effective date of a contract that IBM has strategically sourced, IBM renegotiates that contract to achieve additional savings for Solectron, and provided that the contract and renegotiation has been negotiated and structured by IBM in good faith to maximize the savings to Solectron and not to circumvent the provisions of Section 4.1(b)(i) above, and provided the provisions of Section 6 respecting current market pricing are adhered to, IBM will be allowed to accrue savings equal to the sum of the discounts achieved by IBM from the initial negotiation and the subsequent negotiation until the end of the initial 12-month period. After the end of the initial 12-month period, the limitations imposed by Section 4.1(b)(i) would apply to the renegotiated pricing.

			[*]

	(iii)		Multi-Year Contracts. In the event that IBM strategically sources a contract for Solectron that has a term that exceeds 12 months and that provides for multiple period over period reductions in the price to Solectron and provided further that the contract has been negotiated and structured by IBM in good faith to maximize the savings to Solectron and not to circumvent the provisions of Section 4.1(b)(i), above, IBM will be entitled to accrue savings to this contract after the limitations imposed by Section 4.1(b)(i) until such period over period reduction ends. For the purposes of Section 6 (Baseline), and in a manner consistent with Section 6.1 (Prior Period Price), the Baseline applicable to the savings that accrue after the limitation of Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be the price paid during the previous period, assuming the then-current market price for the product remains above the price paid during the previous period.

4.2 Actual Tactical Savings Calculation

(a)

Actual Tactical Savings shall be calculated using processed invoices with prices from newly negotiated agreements that result from tactical sourcing activities. Such Savings represent actual compliance and are calculated by multiplying the variance between:

(i)

[*]

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

	(i)		For any contract tactically sourced by IBM, except as specified in Sections Error! Reference source not found. or 4.1(b)(iii)4.2(b)(iii), no savings will be calculated to accrue against such contract after the earlier of (A) 12 months following the date notice of each is provided to the applicable organization or personnel within Solectron, and, if applicable, once such tactically sourced contract is fully functionally represented on the P2P platform, (B) the effective date of a new contract which replaces such contract or (C) the date upon which such contract expires.

	(ii)		Renegotiated Contracts. In the event that during a 12-month period following the effective date of a contract that IBM has strategically sourced, IBM renegotiates that contract to achieve additional savings for Solectron, and provided that the contract and renegotiation has been negotiated and structured by IBM in good faith to maximize the savings to Solectron and not to circumvent the provisions of Section 4.1(b)(i) above, and provided the provisions of Section 6 respecting current market pricing are adhered to, IBM will be allowed to accrue savings equal to the sum of the discounts achieved by IBM from the initial negotiation and the subsequent negotiation until the end of the initial 12-month period. After the end of the initial 12-month period, the limitations imposed by Section 4.1(b)(i) would apply to the renegotiated pricing.

			[*]

	(iii)		Multi-Year Contracts. In the event that IBM tactically sources a contract for Solectron that has a term that exceeds 12 months and that provides for multiple period over period reductions in the price to Solectron and provided further that the contract has been negotiated and structured by IBM in good faith to maximize the savings to Solectron and not to circumvent the provisions of Section 4.2(b)(i), above, IBM will be entitled to accrue savings to this contract after the limitations imposed by Section 4.2(b)(i) until such period over period reduction ends. For the purposes of Section 6 (Baseline), and in a manner consistent with Section 6.1 (Prior Period Price), the Baseline applicable to the savings that accrue after the


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1

limitation of Section 4.2(b)(i) shall be the price paid during the previous period, assuming the then-current market price for the product remains above the price paid during the previous period.

[*]

4.3 Actual P2P Savings

The parties intend to maximize Actual P2P Savings. IBM will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify, quantify and report Actual P2P Savings in a manner consistent with the methods underlying the representations of similar savings made in IBM’s various proposals leading up to this agreement. IBM will formulate the calculation and submit it for Solectron review within 30 days following the execution of this Agreement. Once acceptable IBM will begin to quantify and report on Actual P2P Savings.

5. GENERAL ITEMS RELATED TO SAVINGS CALCULATIONS

5.1 Timing

	(a)		Actual Savings and Actual P2P Savings are calculated at the time an invoice is processed and approved in P2P or other applicable platform (e.g., Travel).

	(b)		Savings calculations shall be made in the currency of the governing Local Country Agreement and also expressed in US dollars based on the exchange rate methodology set out in Schedule C (Charges).

	(c)		IBM will make the Savings calculation and present it to Solectron for their review, comment and, as appropriate, approval.

5.2 Specific Item Calculation.

Specific Item Calculation is the preferred Actual Savings calculation method. The “Specific Item Calculation” applies to price Savings achieved via strategic sourcing and/or a tactical buy. The calculation utilizes new price vs. old price for each specific item to determine change in price. The change in price is then be multiplied by actual current period volume to determine Actual Savings.

[*]

5.3 Alternative Methods of Savings Calculations

(a)

The practicalities associated with the nature of the purchases may necessitate alternate methods of determining Savings. There are several alternative calculations methods that have been identified (below), that maintain the spirit of


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-7

Confidential to Solectron and IBM


*		Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

			the Specific Item Calculation and address the practical necessities. These methods can be applied to calculations for Actual Savings, targets, and forecasts. Where the methods contain discretionary elements, IBM will provide justification and will secure Solectron’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, to the elements prior to their use.

	(b)		Market Basket Calculation. The market basket calculation utilizes geographically representative “market basket samples” of indirect goods or services and is the preferred approach to use where there are too many items in a sourcing transaction to track Savings on each item. In this calculation, IBM shall identify a geographically representative sample or basket of the goods or services, price the basket using Baseline and new unit prices and then calculate a weighted average expected Savings percentage of the Baseline. Savings will then be determined by applying this percentage to the actual spend of the entire group of items.

			[*]

	(c)		Lump-Sum Spend Calculation. The lump sum calculation is used primarily for like services that have been previously purchased. Savings are calculated as previous amount paid versus newly negotiated amount paid. The Baseline for this methodology shall be the price paid in the prior year for the like service.

			[*]

6. BASELINE

Baselines will be calculated by IBM, reviewed by Solectron and agreed during the sourcing process for the good or service in question. The methods of determining and adjusting the Baseline appear below. Except for adjustments for TCO Elements the Baseline may never at any time exceed the then current market price for the good or service in question.

6.1 Prior Period Price

Prior period actual price is the preferred method for determining the Baseline for indirect goods and services. In this case, for any new contract, the Prior Year Price Baseline is the volume weighted average price paid for the good or service purchased during the lesser of (a) the 12 months prior to the point of interest (i.e. effective date of supplier contract) or (b) for purchases made against agreements that have been in place for less than 12 months, the duration of such agreement to be replaced by the new contract. This Baseline can be developed from various data (e.g., from invoice level detail, purchase order detail (if utilized), or by requesting the information from the Supplier).

6.2 New Item Purchases —Acceptable Bid


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-8

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

Frequently, new indirect goods or services may be procured for the first time or they may have been purchase intermittently and historical pricing may not be representative of the market and thus an apples-to-apples price and product comparison may not be available. For these purchases, the Baseline will be the second lowest acceptable bid that meets the required specifications for the indirect good or service when IBM has obtained three or more bids for the purchase.

For Example: IBM requests bids from three Suppliers for a piece of capital equipment that has not been purchased before:

	o		Supplier A bids $10,000 for equipment that meets Solectron’s specifications;

	o		Supplier B bids $9,000 for equipment that meets the Solectron’s specifications;

	o		Supplier C bids $5,000 for equipment that meets the Solectron’s specifications.

Thus Supplier B has the second-lowest acceptable bid that meets the required specifications. Therefore $9,000 will be the Baseline. In the case where only two satisfactory bids are obtained the Baseline will be the average of the two bids. In cases where only one bid is obtained, this single bid will serve as a Baseline.

6.3 Indexing Adjustment.

IBM may propose to adjust the otherwise determined Baseline by use of an industry trend indicator that can be identified that reasonably reflects the market trend for that category.

Example: Weighted average historical hotel room rate is $100 per night (the otherwise determined Baseline); representative market index for hotel rates indicates a 5% price increase in the marketplace; and the adjusted Baseline (assuming Solectron concurs with the correctness of the index) is $105 ($100 time 1.05).

6.4 Incremental Discounts

For a number of indirect purchases (for example, airlines and vehicles), negotiations are typically focused around discounts off of list price. The Baseline in this case would be the (weighted average list price) times (1 minus the previously negotiated discount).

6.5 Baseline adjustments for TCO Elements

The Baseline for goods and services may be adjusted to reflect the TCO Elements listed below when it is anticipated that sourcing activities may uncover improvements which can contribute to savings. While this list represents the elements with the highest probability of occurrence, other elements may become relevant to Solectron’s business, or Category requirements in the future may be included subject to mutual agreement to adjustment of the Baseline.


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-9

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

	(a)		Delivery or transport charges as part of the landed cost of the good or service. For selected services (e.g., professional & labor-based services), these cost may be in the form of travel expenses on top of negotiated hourly rates.

	(b)		Deployment or Installation costs or Service charges negotiated as part of the purchased price of a good. As an example if a supplier quotes a price for a piece of equipment that is higher than a competitive supplier quote, but offers a substantial reduction on the installation fees (assuming the installation service meets specifications) this can result in an overall better value and for Solectron. This may also apply to selected services where a Supplier may offer measurable value-added deployment support services.

	(c)		Product specification changes may be identified which, while meeting Solectron’s performance requirements, may represent changes in Solectron’s TOC. Examples include:

	(i)		Substitution materials (for example generics for brand names);

	(ii)		Specification optimization: Savings arising from specification optimization that provides measurable Savings while meeting Solectron requirements (Example: IBM and Solectron key stakeholders agree that a current requirement for service response time for specific machine maintenance is over-specified for Solectron’s actual requirements. IBM proposes a measurable Savings based on the revised specifications);

	(iii)		Returnable Containers: IBM may identify incremental Savings identified through IBM and arising out of lower costs based on a combination of the unit cost and the refund for returned containers;

	(iv)		Reductions of internal material handling charges. (Example: Supplier delivers goods to point of use therefore reducing Customer’s internal handling costs);

	(v)		Additional valued added services. (Example: IBM negotiates skills upgrading/training with a Supplier of temporary labor services that provides Customer with a measurable benefit);

7. SAVINGS TRACKING

7.1 Responsibility

IBM and Solectron will manage the Savings tracking process in accordance with Schedule F (Governance), with both parties identifying a person to act as Finance Manager in their respective project offices. These roles will serve as the primary point of contact between Solectron and IBM for analysis of Savings achievement, discussion of issues related to Savings achievement, and initial efforts to resolve any disputes arising between the parties associated with Savings initiatives.

7.2 Measurement

Using the calculation methods identified in Section 4 (Savings Calculation), on a monthly and annual basis IBM shall measure, track, report on and forecast Actual Savings for each category and/or subcategory for which IBM has Strategic Sourcing responsibility and shall compare such Actual Savings to the Committed Savings and prior year Actual Savings (the “Savings Contribution Report”).

7.3 Review & Agreement

	(a)		Except as specified in the Section 7.3(b) below, the Savings Contribution Report for each Category will be made available by IBM for review by Solectron on a monthly basis by the 10^th business day of the month. Solectron will have up to ten (10) business days, following receipt of the monthly Savings Contribution Reports, to review and question the Savings contributions declared by IBM. During this time IBM will support Solectron’s requests for information or evidence of achievement. During that period, Solectron will identify any specific areas of dispute and document the rationale for such dispute. Those areas undisputed will be considered accepted by Solectron. The disputed items will first be discussed at the Management Committee meeting and, if still unresolved, will be escalated in accordance with the Dispute Resolution process.

	(b)		Prior to P2P Platform implementation:

(i)

Within thirty (30) days after the end of each month (or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties), Solectron will provide to IBM a report, in a format substantially similar to the template provided in Annex B-4 that provides IBM with data related to Solectron’s spend amounts for indirect purchases. IBM will obtain reports from suppliers on contracts it has sourced with data elements such as SKU consumption, unit price and total price. IBM will manually reconcile the Solectron reports and supplier reports to determine and measure Actual Addressable Spend and associated Actual Savings.

(ii)

If the spend amount for a specific supplier as reported on the Solectron report and the supplier report is within 10% of the supplier-reported


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-11

Confidential to Solectron and IBM


*		Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

			amount, IBM will use the amount specified on the supplier report to determine Actual Addressable Spend and calculate Actual Savings.

	(iii)		If the spend amount for a specific supplier as reported on the Solectron report and the supplier report does not match and the discrepancy is greater than 10% of the supplier-reported spend amount, with Solectron’s assistance, IBM will reconcile the two reports and identify root causes of the discrepancy. As necessary to reconcile the spend amounts specified in the Solectron report and a supplier report, Solectron will identify all contracts between Solectron and the relevant supplier and will provide such data as is reasonably available to Solectron related to Solectron’s purchases from that supplier. IBM will obtain from the supplier a summary of amounts invoiced to Solectron by the supplier under contracts not sourced by IBM. Solectron will reimburse IBM for any Out-of-Pocket Expenses associated with obtaining such summary from such supplier. IBM will use the reconciled spend to determine Actual Addressable Spend and calculate Actual Savings.

	(iv)		If AP data is unavailable, IBM will use relevant Solectron PO data and any relevant supplier reports to determine Actual Addressable Spend in order to calculate Actual Savings based on the supplier reports. If the Parties agree that the PO data is consistently inaccurate or inconsistent, the Parties may elect to rely solely on the supplier reports where no AP data is available.

	(v)		Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, IBM will provide the Savings Contribution report within sixty (60) days after the end of each month.

7.4 Addressable Spend and Compliant Spend

	(a)		IBM will report on Addressable Spend, Compliance Rates and Compliant Spend.

	(b)		[*]

7.5 Adjustment of Committed Savings

	(a)		Committed Strategic Sourcing Savings and Committed Tactical Sourcing Savings will vary respectively with Actual Addressable Strategic Sourcing Spend and Actual Addressable Tactical Sourcing Spend. In addition Committed Strategic Sourcing Savings will vary with the actual Compliance Rates achieved.

	(b)		[*]

	(c)		[*]


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-12

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

7.6 Savings Opportunities Rejected by Solectron

	(a)		IBM will notify Solectron of sourcing opportunities that have been rejected by End Users and the Savings from such opportunity IBM believes should still be accepted as Actual Savings. IBM will not be entitled to claim Actual Savings under any contract until after notice of each is provided to the applicable organization or personnel within Solectron, and, if applicable, once each contract is fully functionally represented on the P2P platform.

	(b)		Without restricting “for cause” rejection, Solectron may reject IBM request that the Saving which might have accrued to such opportunity be accepted as Actual Savings if there is a reasonable good faith belief that pursuit of the opportunity will be detrimental to its business. Solectron will provide supporting documentation of this determination to IBM. The reasons for such a good faith belief could include:

	(i)		Past experience with the proposed supplier or source of the commodity (e.g., poor quality or responsiveness);

	(ii)		The terms and conditions proposed to the extent they depart significantly from the terms and conditions specified in the request;

	(iii)		Solectron’s contractual commitments to or business relationships with Solectron clients or business partners;

	(iv)		An anticipated negative competitive or strategic impact on Solectron, such as sourcing from a competitor of Solectron or a potential business partner of Solectron; or

	(v)		Reasonable anticipation of a negative impact on quality or service as compared to the request or specification.

(c)

Solectron will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to disclose and IBM will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to solicit, at the time of the sourcing request, information pertaining to the items above and any other items which IBM may take into account in its sourcing to facilitate acceptance of the Savings opportunity. Lessons learned and corrective actions with Solectron and IBM will also be defined and implemented in order to minimize the recurrence of future rejections for the same or similar circumstances. IBM will also report on Savings opportunities that have been rejected by Solectron at the regular Management Committee meetings.

(d)

The Savings believed by IBM to have been achieved by the opportunities rejected by Solectron will be handled as follows:

(i)

For each purchase request submitted by an End User or other sourcing opportunity identified by IBM, IBM will complete the Functions necessary to present the relevant End User with an executable transaction


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-13

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

* Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

			that satisfies the requirements of the purchase request or an executable sourcing strategy to implement the sourcing opportunity. This presentation may include providing Solectron with a supportable calculation of the Savings to be achieved through execution of such transaction or sourcing strategy in the manner proposed by IBM. If Solectron, for reasons other than for cause or those reasons specified in Section 7.6(b), rejects the transaction or otherwise directs IBM to execute the transaction with a supplier other than that proposed by IBM, IBM may request credit for the savings that would have been achieved through execution of the transaction as proposed by IBM. Solectron will promptly evaluate the request for Savings credit.

	(ii)		[*]If Solectron believes the End User’s rejection was fair and the anticipated Savings invalid and IBM requests, the issue will be escalated within two (2) business days to the Management Committee for review and determination. If the Management Committees determination is unacceptable to IBM, IBM may at its option further escalate the issue to the Dispute Resolution process.

	(iii)		[*]

7.7 Committed Savings Quarterly Adjustment and Annual True Up

	(a)		Adjustments to Committed Savings provided for in this Section 7.7 will be determined quarterly with an overall annual true-up to occur as part of the fourth quarter analysis.

	(b)		Actual Savings will be compared with the Committed Savings (as adjusted) on a quarterly basis to calculate any credit or bonus to be provided to or paid by Solectron, respectively, for that quarter in accordance with Schedule B. Any quarterly credit/bonus will be credited/invoiced to Solectron on the next monthly invoice following the completion of the quarter.

	(c)		At year-end, annual Actual Savings will be compared with annual Committed Savings to calculate any adjustments to the quarterly credits/bonuses provided to or paid by Solectron necessary to reflect Actual Savings for the entire year (the “True Up Amount”).

	(d)		Upon Solectron’s reasonable request, IBM will make data available to support Solectron’s year-end accrual process

	(e)		The True-Up Amount will be invoiced (or credited) to Solectron within thirty (30) days after the completion of the process specified in Section (b) (the “True Up Process”).


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex B-1
EXECUTION COPY		Page B-1-14

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

	(f)		The True Up Process shall be completed within two weeks of the date that Solectron receives the Savings Contribution Report applying to the third month of each calendar quarter. If agreement on the Committed Savings, the Actual Savings and True Up Amount is not achieved by the IBM and Solectron Responsible Executives by the end of such period, then the Dispute Resolution Process shall be invoked to complete the True-Up Process.

	(g)		Invoices for the True Up Amount shall be paid or credited in accordance with the payment terms set forth in Schedule C (Charges).

	(h)		Notwithstanding the above, the Parties agree as follows with respect to Contract Year 1: (a) there will be no annual True-Up; and (b) adjustments to Committed Savings will be determined for quarter 3 and quarter 4.

7.8 Solectron Timeliness Responsibility

In case the start of the realization of a savings is delayed because of Solectron’s failure to discharge their responsibilities in a timely manner, IBM shall be credited with the lost savings (as a result of the delay) as Actual Savings unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. IBM shall notify Solectron in writing within seven (7) business days of Solectron not fulfilling a responsibility that is causing or is likely to cause the delay. If IBM fails to notify Solectron that their actions caused a delay within seven (7) business days of Solectron not fulfilling a responsibility, IBM shall not be credited with the lost savings (as a result of the delay) to count towards Actual Savings. If the Parties do not agree on the responsibility of the delay, they may invoke the dispute resolution procedure as appropriate.

Definitions Specific to Strategic Sourcing.

	(a)		“Addressable Spend” means the fees and charges paid to Commodity suppliers by Solectron (stated in U.S. dollars) for Commodities included within all In-scope Categories included in a Complexity Level in a GEO. It is the spend that can be strategically sourced by IBM — i.e., where the existing supplier arrangements can be changed or terminated without any significant financial consequences due to existing contractual obligations, and where Solectron does not have any other business need to continue existing supplier relationships. The Addressable Spend for a Category will be determined by the Parties at the time that IBM assumes responsibility for Strategic Sourcing of that Category and will be the Parties’ best estimate of the actual addressable fees and charges paid by Solectron in the twelve months preceding the transfer of sourcing responsibility to IBM, adjusted for any known changes in volumes.

	(b)		“In-scope Categories” means the commodity Categories (as defined in Schedule A) for which IBM provides Strategic Sourcing Services to Solectron from time to time within a particular GEO. A Category may be



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Schedule C Page C-5

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

			included in scope for Initial Sourcing and then subsequently removed from scope; alternatively a Category may be included in scope for Ongoing Category Management Services only, without an Initial Sourcing.

	(c)		“GEO” means each of the geographical regions listed in the Pricing Tables.

	(d)		“Complexity Level” means the level of complexity and associated work effort and cost required to provide Strategic Sourcing Services for a particular Category. As of the Effective Date, Solectron’s general ledger codes for indirect materials and services have been allocated to High, Medium and Low Complexity Levels as shown in Schedule A, Annex A-1.

	(e)		“OCM Spend” for a Category means the total dollar value of the fees and charges paid by Solectron to suppliers under contracts that are strategically sourced by IBM or by Solectron and that are included in IBM’s Ongoing Category Management Services. OCM Spend includes Addressable Spend and other non-Addressable Spend for which IBM performs Ongoing Category Management at Solectron’s request, but does not include spend for which IBM provides tactical sourcing Services as part of P2P Operations Services.

	(f)		“OCM Spend Estimate” means the estimate of OCM Spend by Complexity Level, by GEO as of the Effective Date, as set forth in the Pricing Tables in Annex C1.

	(g)		“Trigger Value” means the change in spend that will trigger an adjustment to the OCM Charge for a Complexity Level, as set forth in the Pricing Tables. The Trigger Values for changes to the OCM Charge are expressed in dollars of OCM Spend.

3.3

OCM Charge.

	(a)		OCM Spend. The price for Ongoing Category Management Services is based on the dollar value of OCM Spend managed by IBM each month.

	(b)		Volume Adjustment. The OCM Charge for each In-Scope Category and GEO is set forth in the Pricing Tables. That charge is based on the OCM Spend Estimate. The charge will be adjusted each month based on the actual OCM Spend within that Category and GEO using the following method:

	(i)		Determine the actual total OCM Spend for all In-Scope Categories within the Complexity Level and GEO (the “OCM Actual").

	(ii)		Calculate the difference between the OCM Actual and the OCM Estimate (the “OCM Variance") — positive (if OCM Actual exceeds the OCM Estimate) or negative (if OCM Actual is less than the OCM Estimate).

	(iii)		The price adjustment factor is the OCM Variance divided by the Trigger Value for the relevant Complexity Level and GEO, rounded down to the nearest whole integer number. If the Trigger Value



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Schedule C Page C-6

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

* Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

			exceeds the Volume Baseline and the Complexity Level is removed from scope, the Trigger Value is deemed to equal the Volume Baseline (so that the entire charge for that Complexity Level is eliminated).

	(iv)		The price adjustment equals the price adjustment factor multiplied by the applicable Volume Adjustment Rate stipulated in the Pricing Tables in Annex C1-4. If the OCM Variance is positive, the price adjustment increases the charges payable by Solectron. If the OCM Variance is negative, the price adjustment reduces the charges payable by Solectron.

Example:

•

[*]

(c)

Calculation of Monthly Invoiced Charges. The OCM Charge will be calculated and billed in arrears based on the actual volume of OCM Spend processed through the P2P System in that month.

	3.4		Strategic Sourcing Fixed Charge.

			During the continuance of IBM’s performance of Strategic Sourcing Services, Solectron shall pay IBM the fixed charge as specified in the Pricing Tables, Annex C1-2. The fixed charge compensates IBM for all work performed by IBM in connection with strategic sourcing activity as contemplated within Annex A-1 of the Agreement as of the Effective Date, regardless of the volume of Addressable Spend involved in such activity, and certain other fixed costs associated with Strategic Sourcing Services.

3.5

Applicability of Volume Based Adjustments and Volume Band Limits for OCM Services.

(a)

For the avoidance of doubt, the typical circumstances in which the Volume Adjustment Rates for Ongoing Category Management Services do and do not apply are summarized below:


	Covered by
	Adjustment
Events as applied to	Methodology
OCM Services	(Y/N)	Comment
Change in OCM Spend (including “Organic” increase/decrease in spend) within in-scope Category	Yes, subject to Volume Band Limits.	Adjustment calculated against Volume Baseline for applicable Complexity Level and ▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇ in rolling Category into scope (e.g., Category anticipated in month 13, but not approved until month 18)	Yes, subject to Volume Band Limits.	Adjustment calculated against Volume Baseline for applicable Complexity Level and GEO. Decision by Solectron to delay requires 30 days’ notice.



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Schedule C Page C-7

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

* Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request


	Yes, subject to Volume Band Limits.	Parties agree on case by case categorization of new category — H/M/L Complexity Level and GEO classification

Add New Category (only those Categories identified in Annex A-1 as of the Effective Date)		Entirely new categories (i.e., not identified in Annex A-1 as of the Effective Date) will be subject to separate negotiation (the Change Management Process) and are not covered by the Volume Adjustment Rates.

Remove Category	Yes, subject to Volume Band Limits	Decision by Solectron to remove a Category from scope requires 30 days’ notice.

Add New Country	No	Subject to separate negotiation via the Change Management Process. Not covered by Volume Adjustment Rates.

Remove Country	Yes, subject to Volume Band Limits	Decision by Solectron to remove a Category from scope requires 30 days’ notice.

	(b)		OCM Volume Band Limits. The OCM Volume Adjustment Rate applicable to each Complexity Level and GEO is subject to a Variable Fee Ceiling and a Variable Fee Floor which are calculated by reference to the dollar value of the variable charge payable for that Complexity Level and GEO. While the parties are negotiating an equitable adjustment, the Volume Adjustment Rate will be [] of the rate published in Schedule C1-4 for the volumes below the [] threshold. Once the negotiations are complete a retroactive adjustment will be invoiced dating back to the quarter when volumes fell below the floor. The “Variable Fee Ceiling” equals [] of the variable charge that would be payable for that Complexity Level and GEO at the applicable Volume Baseline. The “Variable Fee Floor”* equals [*] of the variable charge that would be payable for that Complexity Level and GEO at the applicable Volume Baseline.

	(c)		Rate Adjustment outside Ceiling and Floor. If, during any quarter, the actual OCM variable charge for a Complexity Level/GEO exceeds the applicable Variable Fee Ceiling or falls below the Variable Fee Floor, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding an equitable adjustment to the Volume Adjustment Rate for that Complexity Level/GEO. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon such equitable adjustments within a reasonable amount of time, but no more than sixty (60) days, then the matter shall be referred to the dispute resolution process set out in the Agreement.

3.6

Removal of Strategic Sourcing Services from Scope.

(a)

If the aggregate value of all actual OCM variable charges for a quarter falls below the aggregate value of all OCM variable charges that would be payable at the aggregate Variable Fee Floor for all OCM In-scope Categories (the “Aggregate OCM Floor") for that quarter, Solectron may elect to:

	(i)		continue to pay IBM the variable charges equating to the Aggregate OCM Floor; or

	(ii)		discontinue the Strategic Sourcing Services, subject to providing IBM sixty (60) days prior written notice in accordance with the following:

	(A)		If Solectron’s election to discontinue the Strategic Sourcing Services is due to Solectron’s right to terminate pursuant to Section 11.3(c) (ii) of the Agreement, then Solectron may discontinue the Strategic Sourcing Services and pay IBM its reasonable Wind Down Costs and Unamortized Costs, if any.

	(B)		If Solectron’s election to discontinue the Strategic Sourcing Services is due to any other reason, then Solectron shall pay IBM Termination for Convenience Charges, its reasonable Wind Down Costs, and Unamortized Costs.

P2P OPERATIONS SERVICES

4.1 P2P Operations Services.

(a)

Summary. The charges for the P2P Operations Services will be:

	(i)		A fixed annual service charge, as specified in the Pricing Tables, payable in equal monthly installments each year; plus

	(ii)		Volume-based variable charges based on the actual Managed Spend each month, as specified in the Pricing Tables.

(b)

Variable Charge calculation. The unit of measure used to calculate the P2P Operations Volume Baseline and variable charge is the Managed Spend, which is a single global Volume Baseline for all countries, as shown in the Pricing Tables. The Volume Adjustment Rate specified in the Pricing Tables is expressed as a percentage of Managed Spend and is used to calculate the variable P2P Operations charge on a monthly basis.

(i)

“Managed Spend” means the total fees and charges paid to third party suppliers that is processed through the P2P platform by IBM, excluding spend associated with Pass Through Processing. Managed Spend is measured as the dollar value of purchased goods and services authorized for payment using the P2P system (excluding Pass Through Processing), and will be reported monthly from the P2P Business Warehouse system.

* Omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request

(ii)

“Pass Through Processing” is defined in Schedule A.

Example:

•

[*]

	(c)		Volume Band. The Volume Adjustment Rate shall be valid for application up to [] over or under the P2P Operations Volume Baseline as specified in the Pricing Tables (the “Volume Band”). If, during any month, the Managed Spend exceeds [] of, or is less than [*] of, the P2P Operations Volume Baseline, and is expected to continue outside the Volume Band for at least 90 days, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding an equitable adjustment to the Volume Adjustment Rate. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon such equitable adjustments within a reasonable amount of time, but no more than sixty (60) days, then the matter shall be referred to the dispute resolution process set out in the Agreement.

	(d)		The charges calculated pursuant to this Section fully compensate IBM for providing the P2P Operations Services.

	4.2		Inclusion of Additional Countries.

			The Parties agree to include P2P Operations Services for The Netherlands, India, Indonesia and Puerto Rico within the scope of the P2P Operations Services for an additional P2P Operations charge not exceeding [] in the aggregate for all of those locations, assuming a go-live date of April 2007 and Managed Spend of [] per year. Such additional not-to-exceed charge includes any additional transition and setup costs, fixed charges and variable charges for the Term, Within 14 days after the execution of the Agreement, IBM will provide detailed pricing that is valid for 60 days for those locations that is, to the extent possible, consistent with the pricing methodology and pricing structure used for the other in-scope countries. If that pricing is approved by Solectron, IBM will prepare additional Local Adoption Agreements for Solectron’s approval and execution by the parties.

Annex C-3
Economic Change Adjustment

This Annex outlines the process by which annual adjustments to the Service Charges, Volume Baselines, Trigger Values and Volume Adjustment Rates may be made to allow for inflation during the Term (an “Economic Change Adjustment” or “ECA”). Beginning in March 2007 and on each anniversary thereof during the Term, the Parties will apply the methodology described in this Annex to determine the ECA for the ensuing Contract Year.

1.0 ECA for Contract Year 2 (beginning 1 March, 2007)

The Parties will determine an ECA for the second Contract Year, beginning March 1^st, 2007 (the “2007 ECA”), using the methodology and formulas set forth below.

(a)

Indices. The following indices will be used to calculate the 2007 ECA (each an “Index”):

(c)		Index Change. The Parties will determine the change in each of the Indices (“Index Change”) from December 2006 to December 2007 (or using the nearest available publication date if the Index is not published in that month). The Index Change may be negative or positive, resulting in a negative or positive impact on the charges and other items being adjusted pursuant to this methodology.

Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Annex C-3
EXECUTION COPY		Page C-3-2

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

Prior to the beginning of each of those Contract Years, the Parties will negotiate an appropriate Economic Change Adjustment that takes account of:

	1.		The indices, inflation sensitivity factor and methodology set out in Section 1.0 above;

	2.		Changes in independent published indices of costs and prices that are relevant to the delivery of the Services;

	3.		Changes in the compensation paid by IBM to employees located in delivery centers from which services are delivered to Solectron, during the preceeding twelve month period on a global basis, as verified by IBM’s VP of the Industrial Sector; and

	4.		Such other factors as a Party believes relevant, including opportunities to avoid cost increases (for example, by transferring work to lower-cost locations where such transfers are commercially reasonable, operationally practicable and Solectron has consented, or is willing to consent, to the transfers as provided in the Agreement).

If the Parties fail to agree on an ECA for the ensuing Contract Year within 45 days after the commencement of that Contract Year, the matter will be referred within 15 days to binding arbitration to be conducted by JAMS/Endispute within 30 days after such referral and in accordance with that organization’s rules. The arbitrator’s jurisdiction will be limited solely to determining the ECA to be applied for the upcoming year in dispute, having regard to any or all of the factors described above, to the extent submitted by the Parties. Pending final determination of the dispute, IBM will invoice Solectron at the rates applicable to the prior Contract Year and a true-up will be made once the final determination is made.

Standard Operational Reports available in IBM Platform Business Warehouse

This Section sets forth the standard operational reports that Solectron will be able to obtain from IBM as on demand reports. These reports will be generated through a web- based Table of Contents that will extract the data from the IBM Platform Business Warehouse.

The reports will be available for each Solectron Country as each Solectron County achieves its Go-Live Date after Transition.

The reports are standard and will be accessible only to those Solectron employees who have been issued a license by IBM. Licenses shall be issued at the request of Solectron. IBM has planned for, and shall issue at the request of Solectron, licenses for one hundred (100) Solectron employees. Solectron may substitute employees from time to time.

In general, the reports will be made available by Service Beneficiary and Division. All reports extracted will then allow drill downs on the fields available within the report, according to the SAP business warehouse extracting capabilities.


		Description

SCHEDULE G

IBM DELIVERY EXCELLENCE


Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement		Schedule G
EXECUTION COPY		Page G-1

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

1. QUALITY MANAGEMENT

1.1 Delivery Excellence Defined

Delivery Excellence is the measurable level of work quality delivered by our client teams across all phases of a project lifecycle in order to satisfy our clients and be the leader in the marketplace.

Delivery excellence consists of two distinct and important elements when it comes to successful completion of any major project: “Starting it right, and executing it right .” Supporting these two elements is the structural framework embodied in our proprietory Seven Keys to Success project health evaluation tool. Before we examine these delivery excellence elements, let’s explore the details associated with the Seven Keys to Success health indicators. This will provide an understanding of how the Seven Keys to Success is used to support “Starting it right and Executing it right.”

Each of the Seven Keys represents a single dimension or view of a project’s health for a particular category, for example, risk mitigation or project team performance. We have learned that the comprehensive health of any significant project at any point in time can be represented by analyzing each of these dimensions. As a result of the health analysis of each dimension, a color code (Green, Yellow, or Red) is assigned with the following indicated actions:



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Schedule G Page G-1

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

l		Stay the course — no corrective action required

l		WARNING- Corrective action required in the Near Term

l		URGENT- Indicates significant problems that are likely to impact the ability to maintain scope and deliver the project on time and within budget

Corrective actions are then planned and executed to address those dimensions that have a “yellow” or “Red” status health indicator. By examining past projects, we know that delivery failures do not happen “overnight,” but by failing to recognize warning signs along the way and take appropriate corrective actions before recovery is too late.

Stakeholders are committed — Identifying, evaluating, informing, and influencing the individuals and groups who are affected by or who influence the program or project.

Partial list of attributes:

	¡		Effective project steering committee

	¡		Project is expected to enhance personnel skills and depth of experience

1.2 Delivery Excellence “Starting it right”

All major projects begin with common project initiation activities—clarify scope boundaries, confirm staffing assignments, develop detailed work schedules, etc.—as a necessary requirement for launching the project. IBM has established a formal Project Launch process that each major project must execute during the first 45 days of the start of the project. This process is designed to help all projects benefit from a common launch process.

There are two internal IBM actions generated from this process, (1) Pre-launch Seven Keys Assessment (to be completed within the first 10 business days of project start, and (2) Work Products and Tools Assessment (to be completed within the total 45 day period).

1.2.1 Pre-launch Seven Keys Assessment

This assessment, based upon the Seven Keys mentioned above, is intended to document the “as-is” condition of the project so that early indicators of potential issues can be acted upon promptly. Accordingly, the evaluation criteria are slightly different in each category, for example:

Stakeholders are Committed -

	¡		Have key client stakeholders been identified?

	¡		Has a steering committee for the project been identified?

Scope is realistic and managed –

	¡		Has the delivery contract/Statement of Work (SOW) been reviewed with the client sponsor?

	¡		Are client/IBM expectations regarding scope in agreement?

Team is high performing -

Is the required infrastructure to support the project team in place or being fulfilled?



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Schedule G Page G-4

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

Are key project start-up personnel (both IBM and client) identified and available as required?

These are just a few of the questions to be answered. Although early in the project life cycle, the assessment does identify potential problem areas that can be quickly resolved.

1.2.2 Work Products & Tools Assessment

This second action of the Project Launch process is intended to confirm that the key project control tools and processes are in place to support the project until completion. Project managers are allowed to introduce additional tools/templates and processes, but at a minimum, the Project Manager is required to establish the following components within the 45 day launch period:

	¡		Communications Management Plan – The plan describes the key reporting relationships and meeting requirements between the client and IBM management teams.

	¡		Detailed Project Schedule and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) – work activities and dependencies, key milestones, task assignments.

	¡		Deliverable Definition Process – Describes the deliverables and the associated delivery and acceptance process. This information is typically provided in the SOW, and is discussed with the client as part of the SOW review process in the Project Launch activities.

	¡		Seven Keys to Success Status Report – The Project manager is expected to establish a monthly process for completing this internal IBM project status report. This report is made available to IBM Sector leadership and the Risk management person assigned to this project for the entire project life cycle.

	¡		Change Management Process – This process is established to help manage project scope. IBM employ’s a rigorous approach to the change control process to prevent unauthorized changes in scope and the potential cost/schedule impacts.

	¡		Human Resource Plan – This is a staffing plan for both client and IBM resources, including project organization chart with identified roles and responsibilities.

	¡		Issue Management Process – This process is established to provide a comprehensive approach to managing the identification, recording, tracking and resolution of project issues that will occur throughout the project life cycle.

	¡		Conditions of Satisfaction – It is important that the IBM team understands what the client expects from IBM in this project. Once established with the client, the conditions of satisfaction attendant IBM actions are periodically reviewed by the project partner/manager as



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Schedule G Page G-5

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

			well as in independent discussions with the client conducted by the assigned Risk manager (RM)¹.

	¡		Risk Management Plan – This plan identifies the initial project risks that might occur and is periodically updated throughout the project life cycle. The plan identifies the risk, probability of occurrence, potential impacts and risk mitigating actions.

As stated above, the IBM project manager will establish additional project controls or project support tools and processes including those desired by the client where applicable.

Once these two deliverables are complete, the assigned Risk Manager will review the assessments with the project manager and project partner to determine if additional support is needed to complete the Project Launch process or the review indicates that the launch is completed. Once completed, the assigned Risk Manager reviews the Seven Keys Status Report each month to stay informed regarding project progress and to monitor action plans associated with any identified “yellow” or “red” health indicators.

1.3 Delivery Excellence “Executing it right”

Following the completion of the Project launch, the project status is identified as “in delivery” and will continue that way until the project is officially closed by obtaining, if necessary, final client sign-off that the project is complete, deliverable materials (subject to the SOW or IBM Customer Agreement) are complete and signed-off, and financial obligations between IBM and the client have been completed.

During the “in delivery” period, the assigned Risk Manager will conduct periodic on-site Project Management Reviews (PMR) to meet with IBM project management, client project management and client project sponsor to perform a project health check based upon the Seven Keys framework discussed earlier. The frequency and duration of the on-site PMRs will vary based upon project size/complexity, and is typically linked to key milestone delivery dates. The PMR schedule will be discussed with IBM project management upon completion of the Project Launch process, but may be adjusted as needed during the project.


¹		The assigned Risk Manager is an experienced project manager with many years of hands-on project management for large/complex projects. The RM understands the challenges inherent in projects and this knowledge enables the RM to evaluate the impacts of project dynamics and offer help and recommendations when needed.



Indirect Sourcing Services Agreement EXECUTION COPY		Schedule G Page G-6

Confidential to Solectron and IBM

The PMR process routinely includes the following activities:

	¡		Conducting a general status overview with the project manager and partner

	¡		Conducting one-on-one interviews with IBM and client team leads (if client resources are assigned in this role) to understand their perspective on the project; issues or concerns; the project control process they support and their role in supporting them; project risks and recommended actions.

	¡		Conducting one-on-one interviews with the client sponsor to understand the sponsor’s view of the project; concerns and issues; IBM performance to date; what IBM is doing well, areas where IBM needs to improve; Conditions of Satisfaction, etc.

	¡		Reviewing the various project control processes including project schedule status and maintenance procedures; issues/risks; change control; key deliverables and the agreed approval process; project status reports, etc.

	¡		The RM analyzes the information gathered in the interviews and document reviews, and then records key findings, recommended actions and health indicators in a draft report to the project manager and partner. They are expected to provide feedback, including correcting misunderstandings and errors. Recommendations and health indicator decisions remain in the purview of the RM as an independent reviewer.

	¡		Once approved, the report is issued in a final status to designated IBM Sector executives for follow-up action if required.

	¡		Recommended actions are reviewed in the next scheduled on-site PMR to insure that recommendations are implemented.

The project partner or manager may share selected summary results from the report with the client depending upon arrangements between IBM project management and the client.

Summary

The Delivery Excellence process as described herein is followed by all IBM sectors under the Business Consulting Services (BCS) umbrella. We have realized substantial benefits from this process in areas of:

	¡		project portfolio management

	¡		project performance “dashboard” reporting

	¡		better controlled and managed projects

	¡		improved client satisfaction

	¡		consistency across projects

	¡		improvements in project management processes and controls

	¡		tool/template improvements

As the DRP provided by IBM will be made available to IBM P2P Platform Clients on a standard basis, Solectron might require IBM to implement some specific changes. Such updates to the DRP that are necessary as a result of actions by or changes requested by Solectron which materially change the scope of the DRP will be considered out-of-scope Services and will be handled as Change Requests within the Change Control Process as set forth in Schedule F (Governance). IBM will evaluate if the Change request will be compatible with the DRP for the IBM Platform and will submit to Solectron the results of the analysis and its proposal for implementing the same (which proposal shall include the cost, if any, to Solectron).

2.6 Services to Be Provided under the DRP.

In the event a Disaster is declared pursuant to the terms of this Schedule J, which interrupts the Services, IBM shall implement the DRP and provide the disaster recovery services described in the DRP at a level of performance that will allow Solectron to use and receive the Services.

In the event the point of origin of any Disaster occurs on the IBM Platform or at any point from the IBM Platform to any IBM or IBM-subcontracted facility or network used to provide Services (an “IBM Disaster”), IBM will remain responsible for meeting the Service Levels during such IBM Disaster unless such IBM Disaster constitutes a Force Majeure Event.

In the event the origin of any Disaster occurs at a point from within any Solectron facility or from a Solectron facility to the IBM Platform (a “Solectron Disaster”), IBM will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Service Levels during such Solectron Disaster; provided, however, that IBM will be relieved of any Service Level Credits to the extent that because of such Solectron Disaster IBM does not achieve the applicable Service Levels using commercially reasonable efforts during a Solectron Disaster. Solectron shall be responsible for business continuity services with respect to the Solectron facilities.

The Parties agree that the DRP will allocate responsibility as follows:

Network Recovery

•

Solectron will be responsible for all network services for which Solectron has control, including any costs associated with connectivity and support.

•

IBM will be responsible for all network services of which IBM has control (including those services contracted with Third Parties), including any costs associated with connectivity and support.

2.7 DRP Recovery Committments

IBM commits to recover the Services within fifty-six (56) hours from the Disaster declaration (which is the RTO – Recovery Time Objective), as follows:

•

Within twenty-four (24) hours from the declaration of a Disaster, IBM will make available the DRP Alternative Site;

•

Within thirty-two (32) hours from access to the DRP Alternative Site, IBM will restore the functional environment and the Services.

IBM will backup the IBM Platform and Solectron data and information used in the provision of the Services on a twenty-four (24) hour basis and transfer those backups to the DRP Alternative Site, accordingly, Solectron data will be recovered as of the point of the most recent backup.

Non-Disaster Situations: Severity Standards and Service Restoration Objectives for P2P Platform

Continuous efforts to address any Services interruption, including those for which IBM is responsible or are under its control, shall be undertaken in non-disaster situations as well. The severity of a problem is based on the initial impact of the problem and can be determined by the criteria set forth in the table below. The Service Restoration Objectives indicate the expected resolution time for such Services interrruptions (“Service Restoration Objectives”).


		Service Restoration
Severity	Characteristics	Objective	Problem Examples
1 Severe Business Impact	- Critical System, network or key application outage (or imminent outage) with critical impact on service delivery or - Total loss of production service to all P2P Platform Client or - Impacts one or more service level commitments or - Revenue or delivery schedule impact	Continuous effort aimed to restore service within 24 hours	- Server down - IBM network component down preventing access to production application - Application down

2 Major Business Impact	- Key component, application, critical P2P Platform Client computer or network is down, degraded, or unusable or - Potential critical impact on service delivery or - Service performance degradation; service delivery impacted or - Some P2P Platform Clients affected	3 calendar days	- Degraded performance - Intermittent problem

3 Minor Business Impact	- A component, minor application or procedure is down, unusable, or difficult to use or - Some operational impact, but no immediate impact on service delivery or - Service outage but alternative workaround available or - Problems that degrade service but do not prevent delivery of service or - Potential exposure to ability to deliver service or - Scattered P2P Platform Clients affected	7 calendar days	- automated monitoring problem (require manual monitoring until problem is resolved)

4 Minimal or No Business Impact	- Component, procedure not critical to customer is unusable or - Alternative is available; deferred maintenance is acceptable or - No impact to service or - No Production affected or - Individual P2P Platform Client (such as Solectron) affected	30 calendar days	- Development or test environment problem

Operational Centers: Business Continuity

A situation may arise which affects continuity of Services provided by the Procurement Operations Centers, Customer Assistance Centers, and Accounts Payable Operations Centers with respect to the P2P Platform. Specifically, there could be a situation in which an event such as flood or a fire renders an IBM Operational center unusable yet does not impact the availability of the P2P infrastructure. In this event, IBM will invoke its existing contingency plans to relocate the affected team(s) and/or workload to other IBM facilities or Locations, in accordance with the Agreement, which can provide the necessary connectivity to the P2P Platform infrastructure and Services. IBM has multiple Procurement Operations Centers, Customer Assistance Centers, and Accounts Payable Operations Centers around the globe. The restoration objective is to restore services for emergency services within twenty- four (24) hours of such an event, and to restore normal services within fifty-six (56) hours of such an event.

Emergency Communications Procedures

IBM maintains a Standard Emergency Communications Procedure which describes the emergency communications procedures to follow in the event of either a natural disaster or a technical problem which results in any component of the P2P Platform infrastructure being unavailable and which prevents P2P Platform Clients and / or IBM support teams from fully using the P2P Platform infrastructure for an extended period of time, such as a period in excess of four (4) hours.

The key focal point for communications with Solectron will be the IBM Global Project Executive (described In Schedule F (Governance)). The IBM Global Project Executive will be responsible for informing Solectron of the event and for providing regular status reports to the Management Committee and/or the Executive Steering Committee during the period of Services interruption. These status reports will be provided on a weekly basis at a minimum, or on a more frequent basis as mutually agreed by the Parties, or is otherwise apporpriate given the nature of the problem.
