(a) The parties agree that Motorola's equipment set forth on Schedule 2.2
(the "Bailed Equipment") shall be delivered and installed by Motorola
at its expense to and in the Dublin Facilities, to be held by
Celestica Ireland and used solely by it in the performance of its
obligations under the Dublin Business Unit Agreement. Such Bailed
Equipment shall be delivered by Motorola to Celestica Ireland on a
timetable mutually agreed upon by Motorola and Celestica Ireland and
shall be held pursuant to the terms of the Dublin Business Unit

ARTICLE 3
PURCHASE PRICE
--------------
3.1. PURCHASE PRICE. The aggregate purchase price payable by Celestica and
Celestica Ireland to Motorola and Motorola B.V. for the Purchased Assets (the
"Purchase Price") shall be the sum of (i) the net book value of the Machinery
and Equipment as of the Closing
-11-
Date, as set forth on Schedule 2.1(a), which Schedule 2.1(a) shall be
adjusted at the Effective Time to reflect the depreciation of such Machinery and
Equipment from the date hereof through the Effective Time in a manner consistent
with Schedule 2.1(a), (ii) the book value of the Inventory as determined as of
the Closing Date in the manner described in section 3.2 (items (i) and (ii)
above being collectively referred to as the "Asset Amount"), (iii) $17,000,000
for the Real Property (which shall be paid by Celestica Ireland to Motorola
B.V.) as described in the Real Estate Contract (Dublin) and (iv) the amount of
the prepaid expenses set out in Schedule 2.1(h), plus (v) the assumption by
Celestica and Celestica Ireland of the Assumed Liabilities. Schedule 3.1 sets
forth the amount of the Purchase Price to be paid by Celestica and Celestica
Ireland to Motorola and Motorola B.V., respectively, in accordance with the
Purchased Assets being purchased or sold by each entity. In accordance with
Schedule 3.1, the Purchase Price shall be satisfied by cash payment by Celestica
to Motorola (for that portion of the Purchase Price attributable to the U.S.
Purchased Assets) and by Celestica Ireland to Motorola B.V. (for that portion of
the Purchase Price attributable to the Irish Purchased Assets) of an aggregate
amount equal to the amounts referred to in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above in
this section 3.1 less the Motorola Liabilities, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the Motorola and Motorola B.V. accounts provided to Celestica
and Celestica Ireland at least two Business Day's prior to the Closing Date. The
amount to be paid on the Closing Date by Celestica and Celestica Ireland in
respect of the Asset Amount shall be the amount equal to the Estimated Asset
Amount less the estimated Motorola Liabilities, in each case as calculated in
accordance with Section 3.2(a), which amounts shall be subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 3.3.
3.2. DETERMINATION OF ASSET AMOUNT.
(a) At least seven days prior to the Closing Date, Motorola and Motorola
B.V. shall deliver to Celestica and Celestica Ireland a statement (the
"Estimated Asset Statement"), setting out the estimated Asset Amount
as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated Asset Amount"), and including
(i) an itemized breakdown of the Estimated Asset Amount broken down
between the U.S. Purchased Assets and the Irish Purchased Assets, (ii)
an itemized breakdown of the estimated Motorola Liabilities as at the
Effective Time broken down between the U.S. Purchased Assets and the
Irish Purchased Assets and (iii) a summary of the basis upon which the
Estimated Asset Amount was calculated. Representatives of Motorola,
Motorola B.V., Celestica and Celestica Ireland shall (a) on the day
prior to the delivery of the Estimated Asset Statement, conduct a
physical count of the Machinery and Equipment to assist in determining
the Estimated Asset Amount and (b) on or immediately after the Closing
Date conduct a physical inventory of the Machinery and Equipment and
Inventory to determine the Asset Amount.
(b) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the
Closing Date, Celestica and Celestica Ireland will cause to be
prepared and delivered to Motorola and Motorola B.V. a statement (the
"Closing Date Asset Statement") setting out the calculation of the
final Asset Amount (the "Closing Date Asset Amount") and the Motorola
Liabilities as at the Effective Time, together with officer's
certificates of each of Celestica and Celestica Ireland certifying the
calculation thereof. The Closing Date Asset Statement shall fairly
present in reasonable detail the Closing Date Asset Amount.
-12-
(c) If Motorola disagrees with Celestica's and Celestica Ireland's
calculation of any amount contained in the Closing Date Asset
Statement, Motorola may, within 45 days after delivery of the Closing
Date Asset Statement, deliver a notice to Celestica disagreeing with
such calculation and setting forth Motorola's calculation of such
amount. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or
amounts as to which Motorola disagrees, and Motorola shall be deemed
to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the
Closing Date Asset Statement. If Motorola fails to deliver such notice
within such 45-day period, then Motorola shall be conclusively
presumed to agree to the calculation of the Closing Date Asset Amount
as set out in the Closing Date Asset Statement, which shall be deemed
to be the Closing Date Asset Amount for all purposes of this
Agreement.
(d) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to
subsection 3.2(c), Celestica and Motorola shall, during the 45 days
following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to
reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to
determine, as may be required, the Closing Date Asset Amount. If,
during such period, Celestica and Motorola are unable to reach such
agreement, they shall promptly thereafter jointly cause independent
accountants of internationally recognized standing reasonably
satisfactory to Celestica and Motorola (who shall not have any
material relationship with Celestica, Celestica Ireland, Motorola or
Motorola B.V. or any of their respective subsidiaries) (the
"Accounting Referee") to promptly review this Agreement and the
disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Closing
Date Asset Amount. In making such calculation, the Accounting Referee
shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Date Asset
Statement as to which Motorola has disagreed. The Accounting Referee
shall deliver to Celestica and Motorola, as promptly as practicable, a
report setting forth any required calculations, including the Closing
Date Asset Amount and the final Motorola Liabilities as determined by
the Accounting Referee. Such report shall be final and binding upon
Celestica, Celestica Ireland, Motorola and Motorola B.V. and the
Closing Date Asset Amount and the final Motorola Liabilities as
determined by the Accounting Referee shall be deemed to be the Closing
Date Asset Amount and the final Motorola Liabilities for all purposes
of this Agreement. The cost of such review and report shall be borne:
(i) by Celestica if the difference between Closing Date Asset Amount
as determined by the Accounting Referee and Closing Date Asset Amount
as determined by Celestica is greater than the difference between the
Closing Date Asset Amount as determined by the Accounting Referee and
the Closing Date Asset Amount as determined by Motorola; (ii) by
Motorola if the first difference referred to in (i) above is less than
the second difference referred to in (i) above; and (iii) otherwise
equally by Celestica and Motorola.
(e) Celestica, Celestica Ireland, Motorola and Motorola B.V. agree that
they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants
to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Date Asset
Statement and in the conduct of the audits and reviews referred to in
this section 3.2, including without limitation, the
-13-
making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work
papers and personnel.
3.3. ADJUSTMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE. Within five Business Days after the
final determination of the Closing Date Asset Amount in accordance with section
3.2, an adjustment to the Purchase Price, if any, shall be made as follows:
(a) if the amount equal to the Closing Date Asset Amount less the final
Motorola Liabilities exceeds the amount equal to the Estimated Asset
Amount less the estimated Motorola Liabilities, Celestica shall pay to
Motorola an amount equal to such excess amount, together with interest
thereon at the Rate from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the date of payment, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to accounts provided by Motorola and Motorola B.V. at
least two Business Days prior to such payment; and
(b) if the amount equal to the Estimated Asset Amount less the estimated
Motorola Liabilities exceeds the amount equal to the Closing Date
Asset Amount less the final Motorola Liabilities, Motorola shall pay
to Celestica an amount equal to the amount of such excess, together
with interest thereon at the Rate from and including the Closing Date
to but excluding the date of payment, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to accounts provided by Celestica and Celestica
Ireland at least two Business Days prior to such payment.
3.4. ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE.
(a) The Purchase Price payable at the Time of Closing, and any adjustment
to the Purchase Price pursuant to section 3.3, shall be allocated for
tax purposes among the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with
Section 3.1.
(b) Each of Motorola, Motorola B.V., Celestica and Celestica Ireland will,
and each of them shall cause their respective Affiliates to:
(i) complete and file all returns required by applicable federal,
state, provincial, municipal and local laws, statutes,
regulations and ordinances relating to Taxes in a manner
consistent with Section 3.1; and
(ii) not take a position on any such return that is inconsistent with
the allocation provided for in this Section 3.4 without the
consent of the other party.
3.5. TRANSFER TAXES. Celestica shall be liable for and shall pay any
payable sales Taxes (including any retail sales Taxes) and any other Taxes (but
excluding any Taxes on income and capital gains and excluding any Taxes relating
to Bailed Equipment or the transfer, delivery and installation thereof at the
Dublin Facilities) properly payable in any jurisdiction in connection with the
transfer of the Purchased Assets by Motorola and Motorola B.V. to Celestica and
Celestica Ireland. For greater certainty, (i) Motorola B.V. shall be liable for
and shall pay all Taxes, arising in the Netherlands on the transfer of the Irish
Purchased Assets to Celestica
-14-
Ireland and (ii) Celestica Ireland shall be liable for and shall pay all
stamp duty with respect to the transfer of the Real Property pursuant to the
Real Estate Contract (Dublin).

------------------------------------------------------------
Each of Motorola and Motorola B.V. jointly and severally represents and
warrants to Celestica and Celestica Ireland as follows and acknowledges that
each of Celestica and Celestica Ireland is relying on such representations and
warranties in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Assets:

5.4. NO VIOLATION. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.4, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and each of the Principal Agreements by Motorola and
Motorola B.V., as the case may be, and the consummation of the transactions
herein provided for do not and will not result in: (a) the breach or violation
of any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, or conflict with or

and are not the subject of any factoring arrangement, hire-purchase, conditional
sale or credit sale agreements.
5.7. LOCATION OF REAL PROPERTY. Schedule 5.7 and the Real Estate Contract

the Leased Property until the expiration of the respective Lease. Except as set
forth in Schedule 5.8, each of the Leases is in good standing and in full force
and effect with respect to Motorola or Motorola B.V., as the case may be,
assuming the other party thereto is bound which, to Motorola's Knowledge, is the
case for each lease, and neither Motorola, Motorola B.V. nor, to Motorola's

improvements and appurtenances situated on the Real Property or the Leased
Property (collectively, the "Premises") are in good operating condition and in a
state of good maintenance and repair, subject in each case to normal wear and
tear, and are sufficient to permit the operation of the Celestica Operation.
Except with respect to maintenance conducted in the normal course of business
consistent with past practices, to Motorola's Knowledge, there are no
alterations, repairs, improvements or other work required in respect of the
Premises, including any repairs to, or replacements of, the roof or the
mechanical, electrical, elevating, heating, ventilating, air conditioning,
plumbing work, drainage equipment or systems which are reasonably necessary to
permit the operation of the Celestica Operation. There are no alterations or
renovations to the Premises currently in progress, nor is any such alteration or
renovation contemplated. Motorola and Motorola B.V. have adequate rights of
ingress and egress to the Real Property and the Leased Property and the Premises
for the operation of the Motorola Operation and each material part thereof. None
of the Real Property and the Leased Property, nor the use, operation or
maintenance thereof, violates in any material respects any restrictive covenant
or any provision of any federal, state or municipal law, ordinance, rule or
regulation, including those dealing with zoning, parking, access, loading

facilities, landscaped areas, building construction and fire, or encroaches on
any property owned by others. The replies to the Requisitions are true and
accurate in all respects.

(a) Schedule 2.1(e) lists all agreements, contracts, leases, licenses,
instruments or other commitments (whether written or oral) and
amendments thereto which set forth the terms of the Assigned Third
Party Software Licenses. The Assigned Third Party Software Licenses
govern the rights of Motorola and Motorola B.V., if any, to assign the
Assigned Third Party Software Licences.

with third party insurers the Purchased Assets against loss or damage by all
insurable hazards or risks in accordance with standard industry practice on a
replacement cost basis, and such insurance coverage will be continued in full
force and effect until and including the Effective Time. Motorola and Motorola
B.V. are not in default with respect to any of the provisions contained in any
such insurance policy.
5.12. NO EXPROPRIATION. No notice or proceeding in respect of an action by
a Governmental Authority to expropriate any of the Purchased Assets has been
given or commenced, and Motorola is not aware of any intent or proposal to give
any such notice or commence any such proceedings.

Celestica Ireland pursuant to the Business Unit Agreements, neither Motorola nor
Motorola B.V. is a party to or bound by any Contract that will be required for
the operation of the Celestica Operation. Schedules 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) list and
describe the Assigned Contracts and the Assigned Third Party Software Licenses,
respectively (collectively, the "Assigned Agreements"). Motorola or Motorola
B.V., as applicable, has performed in all material respects all of the
obligations required to be performed by it and, except as set forth in Schedule
5.13, is entitled to all benefits under, and is not in default, in any material
respects, or (to Motorola's Knowledge), alleged to be in default in respect of
any of the Assigned Agreements. All of the Assigned Agreements are in good
standing and in full force and effect as to Motorola or Motorola B.V., as
applicable, assuming the other party thereto is bound which, to Motorola's
Knowledge, is the case for each Assigned Agreement, and to Motorola's Knowledge,
no event, condition or occurrence exists which, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute a default under any of the Assigned Agreements. Motorola
has provided to Celestica or will provide to Celestica prior to the Closing Date
a true and complete copy of each material Assigned Agreement.
-18-
5.14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS. Except as set
forth on Schedule 5.14(a), Motorola has complied in all material respects with
all laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules, judgments, decrees,
franchises or other governmental authorizations, guidelines, policies or orders
applicable to or necessary for the Motorola Operation, the Real Property, the
Leased Property, the Premises and/or to the Purchased Assets. The Transferred
Permits and the Non-Transferred Permits (collectively, the "Permits"), as set
out in Schedules 2.1(f) and 5.14(b), respectively, are all the (a) government

Motorola B.V. which are applicable to the Motorola Operation, the Real Property,
the Leased Property, the Premises and/or the Purchased Assets, and there are no
other (i) government permits (including Environmental Permits), and (ii) other
licenses, approvals, consents, registrations, certificates or authorizations
(including Environmental Permits), in each case necessary for Celestica to
conduct the Celestica Operation or to own or lease any of the Real Property, the
Leased Property, the Premises and/or the Purchased Assets. Each Permit is valid,
subsisting and in full force and effect, and neither Motorola nor Motorola B.V.
is in violation, default or breach, in each case, in any material respect, of
any Permit, and no proceeding is pending or, to Motorola's Knowledge, threatened
for violation of or to revoke or limit any Permit. Motorola and Motorola B.V.
agree to provide to Celestica and Celestica Ireland as soon as possible after
the date hereof and in any event within 30 days of the date hereof true and
complete copies of each Permit and all amendments thereto where reasonably
practicable.
5.15. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. There is no requirement to make any filing

described in Schedule 5.15, or (ii) which relate solely to the identity of
Celestica or the nature of any other business carried on by Celestica. Except as

or before or by any court, Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, or
before or by an arbitrator or arbitration board.
5.18. CUSTOMERS. Motorola is the sole customer of the Motorola Operation.
5.19. NO LIABILITIES. To Motorola's Knowledge, there are no liabilities or

5.20. TAX MATTERS. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, investigations
or claims pending or to Motorola's Knowledge, threatened against Motorola in
respect of Taxes, government charges or assessments, whether paid or unpaid, nor
are any material matters under discussion with any Governmental Authority
relating to Taxes, governmental charges or assessments, whether paid or unpaid,
asserted by any such authority which could result in a claim against or
Encumbrance on any of the Purchased Assets or the Motorola Operation. Motorola
has paid or caused to be paid all sales and use Taxes incurred in connection
with the Motorola Operation. Motorola has withheld from each payment made to any
of its past or present employees, officers or directors of the Motorola
Operation, the amount of all Taxes and other deductions required to be withheld
therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper Tax or other receiving officers
within the time required under any applicable legislation. There are no liens
for Taxes on the Purchased Assets. Motorola is not required to treat any of the

as Tax-exempt bond financed property or Tax-exempt use property within the
meanings of section 168 of the Code. None of the Purchased Assets is subject to
any joint venture, partnership or other agreement or arrangement that is treated
as a partnership for federal income Tax purposes. Motorola has filed all Tax
returns that it was required to file with regard to the Motorola Operation. All
such Tax returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes
owed by Motorola with regard to the Motorola Operation (whether or not shown on
any Tax return) have been paid. Motorola is not the beneficiary of any extension
of time within which to file any Tax return with regard to the Motorola
Operation. No director or officer (or employee responsible for Tax matters) of
Motorola expects any authority to assess any additional Taxes for any period for
which Tax returns for the Motorola Operation have been filed. There is no
dispute or claim concerning any liability for Taxes of the Motorola Operation
either (a) claimed or raised by any authority in writing or (b) as to which any
of directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax matters) of
Motorola has knowledge based upon personal contact with any agent of such
authority. Motorola has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of
Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or
deficiency with regard to the Motorola Operation. None of the Assumed
Liabilities is an obligation to make a payment that will not be deductible under
section 280G of the Code.
5.21. [Intentionally omitted]

5.22. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. To Motorola's Knowledge: (a) the Assigned
Third Party Software Licenses; (b) the other software licenses listed on
Schedule 2.1(e); and (c) the Intellectual Property rights to which Celestica is
to be granted access under the Relationship Agreement, the Business Unit
Agreements and the Transition Services Agreements, include all Intellectual
Property required for Celestica and Celestica Ireland to manufacture for
Motorola the products contemplated by the Business Unit Agreements as of the
Effective Time. To Motorola's Knowledge, the operations and activities of the
Motorola Operation, and the use by Celestica and Celestica Ireland of the
Assigned Third Party Software Licenses and the Intellectual Property to which
Celestica is to be granted access under the Relationship Agreement, the Business
Unit Agreements and the Transition Services Agreements for the manufacture of
products for Motorola under the Business Unit Agreements in the same manner as
previously manufactured by Motorola in the Motorola Operation, do not infringe,
violate or constitute a misappropriation of Intellectual Property of any other
person.
5.23. MOTOROLA SUPPLIER QUALITY STANDARDS. At the Effective Time, the
Motorola Operation will be in full compliance with the Motorola Supplier Quality
Standards.

Ireland, Celestica and Celestica Ireland, by notice to Motorola and
Motorola B.V., may rescind and terminate this Agreement in circumstances
where the failure to satisfy any such condition is not the result, directly
or indirectly, of a breach of this Agreement by Celestica and/or Celestica
Ireland and, in such circumstances, the obligations of Celestica and
Celestica Ireland under this Agreement, other than the obligations
contained in sections 12.12, 12.13, 12.14 and 12.15, shall be terminated

non-fulfillment of the relevant condition is as a result of a breach of
this Agreement by Motorola and/or Motorola B.V. (it being understood that
if the relevant condition is the condition contained in subsection 9.2(a),
Celestica and Celestica Ireland may only bring such action if the
fulfillment of such condition was within the control of Motorola and/or
Motorola B.V.). Any such condition which is waived in whole or in part by

warranties of Celestica and Celestica Ireland contained in this
Agreement and the Employee Matters Agreement which are not so

its jurisdiction), as to the corporate capacity and authority of each
of Celestica and Celestica Ireland to execute, deliver and perform its

it is a party; the due authorization, execution and delivery by each

The foregoing conditions are for the benefit of Motorola and Motorola B.V. and
may be waived, in whole or in part, by any Motorola and Motorola B.V. at any
time. If any of the conditions contained in this section 9.3 shall not be
performed or fulfilled or waived at or prior to May 31, 2001 to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Motorola and Motorola B.V., Motorola and Motorola B.V., by
notice to Celestica and Celestica Ireland, may rescind and terminate this
Agreement in circumstances where the failure to satisfy any such condition is
not the result, directly or indirectly, of a breach of this Agreement by

Motorola and Motorola B.V. under this Agreement, other than the obligations
contained in sections 12.12, 12.13, 12.14 and 12.15, shall be terminated and
thereafter the parties hereto shall have no obligation or liability to any other
party hereunder; provided that in circumstances where (A) neither Motorola nor
Motorola B.V. is then in breach of this Agreement and (B) the conditions
contained in Section 9.1 have been satisfied or waived by all the parties
hereto, Motorola and Motorola B.V. may also bring an action pursuant to Article
11 against Celestica and/or Celestica Ireland for damages (other than

-33-
condition is as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Celestica and/or
Celestica Ireland (it being understood that if the relevant condition is the
condition contained in subsection 9.3(a), Motorola and Motorola B.V. may only
bring such action if the fulfillment of such condition was within the control of
Celestica and/or Celestica Ireland). Any such condition which is waived in whole
or in part by Motorola and Motorola B.V. shall be with prejudice to any claims
they may have for a breach of this Agreement by Celestica and/or Celestica
Ireland.

11.3. NOTICE OF CLAIM. In the event that any party (the "Indemnified
Party") shall assert a First Party Claim (as hereinafter defined) or become
aware of any Third Party Claim (as hereinafter defined) in respect of which
another party (the "Indemnifying Party") agreed to indemnify the Indemnified
Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the
Claim arises as a result of a claim asserted by a third person against the
Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim") or whether the Claim is asserted by
another party hereto (a "First Party Claim"), and shall also specify with
reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):
(a) the factual basis for the Claim; and
(b) the amount of the Claim, if known.
If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not
receive notice of any Claim in time to contest effectively the determination of
any liability susceptible of being contested, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to set off against the amount claimed by the
-36-
Indemnified Party the amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying
Party resulting from the Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice on a
timely basis.
11.4. FIRST PARTY CLAIMS. With respect to any First Party Claim, following
receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall have 60 days to make such investigation of the Claim as is
considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information
relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with
all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If
both parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 60-day period (or any
mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such
Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the
full agreed upon amount of the Claim, failing which the matter shall be referred
to dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of section 12.2.
11.5. THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. With respect to any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party must give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of the Third
Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may, at its sole cost and expense, upon
notice to the Indemnified Party within sixty (60) days after the Indemnifying
Party receives notice of the Third Party Claim, assume the defense of the Third
Party Claim, with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party shall not
consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third
Party Claim, unless (i) the settlement or judgment is solely for money damages,
or (ii) the Indemnified Party consents thereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall provide the Indemnified
Party with thirty (30) days prior notice before it consents to a settlement of,
or the entry of a judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim. The Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of (but not control) any
Third Party Claim, the defense of which is assumed by the Indemnifying Party,
with its own counsel and at its own expense. The parties shall cooperate in the
defense of any Third Party Claim and the relevant records of each party shall be
made available on a timely basis. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the
defense of any such claim or proceeding resulting therefrom in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend such claim or proceeding in a
reasonable manner, including settling such claim or proceeding on such terms as
the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate after giving thirty (30) days' notice
of the same to the Indemnifying Party and obtaining the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. To the
extent applicable, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party
reasonably informed, in writing, as to the defense of any such matter hereunder.
11.6. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(a) The Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying
Party of the facts and circumstances giving rise to any claim for
indemnification as soon as reasonably possible but in any event within
thirty (30) days after it obtains knowledge of the basis for a claim
for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall take all
reasonable steps to mitigate all indemnifiable liabilities and damages
upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be
expected to give rise to any liabilities and damages that are
indemnifiable hereunder. No party shall be entitled to indemnification
to the extent of any insurance, Tax or other benefits (if applicable,
computed on a

AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

present value basis using a 6% discount rate) resulting
from or which may be claimed as a result of the facts and
circumstances relating to any indemnifiable claim. If any Losses are
covered by insurance, Celestica and/or Celestica Ireland, as the case
may be, shall use all reasonable efforts to recover the amount of such
Losses from the insurer of such insurance which recovery (net of any
retroactive premium adjustments and the aggregate amount of reasonably
anticipated (based or written advice from insurance brokers or
providers) increased insurance premiums over the following two policy
years) shall reduce the amount of Losses hereunder; provided, however,
that neither Celestica nor Celestica Ireland shall be required to
obtain such recovery as a condition to making a claim against Motorola
and/or Motorola B.V. pursuant to this Article 11.
(b) Neither party shall have any obligation to indemnify the other party
or otherwise have liability to the other party for consequential
damages, special damages, incidental damages, indirect damages,
collateral damages, punitive damages, lost profits or similar items.
(c) Each of Motorola and Motorola B.V. shall have no liability under this
Article 11 to the extent arising from actions taken or not taken by
Celestica, Celestica Ireland or their Affiliates after the Closing
Date (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve Motorola
or Motorola B.V. of any obligations hereunder unless, and to the
extent, Celestica's or Celestica Ireland's actions or inactions expand
or increase Motorola's or Motorola B.V.'s obligations and liabilities
hereunder).
(d) To the extent that Motorola and/or Motorola B.V. discharges any claim
for indemnification hereunder, Motorola and Motorola B.V. shall be
subrogated to all rights of Celestica and Celestica Ireland against
third parties.
(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate fully
with each other with respect to Third Party Claims and shall keep each
other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies
of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).
11.7. THRESHOLD AND CAP ON INDEMNIFICATION. No Claim shall be made
pursuant to subsections **** until the aggregate Losses suffered or incurred
by the Indemnified Party in respect of all matters which could be the subject
of such a Claim (collectively, the "**** Losses") exceed $****, at which time
the Indemnified Party may make Claims in respect of all Losses, including for
greater certainty, the first **** thereof. The maximum liability of Motorola
and Motorola B.V. in the aggregate, for **** Losses shall not exceed the
amount equal to ****.
11.8. EXCLUSIVITY. The provisions of this Article 11 shall apply to any
Claim for breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or other provision
of this Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement, the Real Estate Contract
(Dublin), the Agreement referred to in Section 12.8 or any certificate or
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith
(other than a claim for specific performance or injunctive
-38-
relief) with the intent that all such Claims shall be subject to the
limitations and other provisions contained in this Article 11.
ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
12.1. ALLIANCE AGREEMENT. Motorola agrees to give Celestica primary
consideration for the next significant "Alliance Agreement" that Motorola enters
into with any contract manufacturer during the three (3) years following the
execution of this Agreement, it being agreed that Celestica shall be offered
such Alliance Agreement if Celestica satisfies Motorola's business criteria
(defined as meeting or exceeding competitors' cost, technical and managerial
capabilities, and satisfying capacity, cost and quality considerations
(including, but not limited to, satisfactory performance under all existing
Business Unit Agreements)). In each case, the criteria imposed by Motorola will
be reasonable and fairly applied. For purposes of this Agreement, an Alliance
Agreement does not include agreements with an original design manufacturer where
the primary intent is to acquire design capability, or other agreements to sell
excess manufacturing capacity that are similar to this Agreement where the
primary intent is to sell the capacity and not to create a broader alliance. For
purposes of this section, "Motorola" shall not include Motorola's Semiconductor
Products Sector. This section 12.1 shall terminate and cease to be of any
further force or effect in the event that the closing of the transaction of
purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets contemplated herein does not occur in
accordance with the terms hereof and this Agreement is terminated.
12.2. DISPUTE. All disputes which arise under this Agreement shall be
submitted to the Steering Committee which members will use their good faith
efforts to resolve such disputes. To the extent that any misunderstanding or
dispute cannot be resolved by the Steering Committee in a friendly manner, the
dispute will be mediated by a mutually-acceptable mediator to be chosen by the
parties within 45 days after written notice by one of the parties demanding
mediation. No party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a
mediator, however, by mutual agreement the parties may postpone mediation until
each has completed specified but limited discovery with respect to a dispute.
The parties may also agree to attempt some other form of alternative dispute
resolution ("ADR") in lieu of mediation, including by way of example and without
limitation, neutral fact-finding or a mini-trial. Any dispute which the parties
cannot resolve through negotiation, mediation or other form of ADR within six
(6) months of the date of the initial demand for it by one of the parties may
then be submitted to the courts for resolution. The use of any ADR procedures
will not be construed under the doctrines of laches, waiver or estoppel to
affect adversely the rights of any party. Nothing in this section 12.2 will
prevent any party from resorting to judicial proceedings if (i) good faith
efforts to resolve the dispute under these procedures have been unsuccessful or
(ii) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable
injury to one party or to others.
12.3. NOTICES.
(a) All notices, request, demands and other communications required or

any financing required in connection with such transaction or otherwise and
counsel to such investment bank, dealer or financial institution, or as may be
required by any applicable law or any regulatory authority or stock exchange
having jurisdiction. In no event shall any party publicly disclose this
Agreement or any Principal Agreement without the prior written consent of the
other parties not to be unreasonably withheld.
12.14. CONFIDENTIALITY. Neither party shall disclose to any other person
(other than to such party's employees, representatives and agents on a
need-to-know basis, who are bound by confidentiality agreements or other
confidentiality obligations) the terms or conditions hereof or the fact that
an acquisition transaction with respect to the Motorola Operation is being
considered by the parties unless, in the opinion of such party's counsel and
subject, in the case of a filing or publication of this Agreement or any of
the Principal Agreements, to section 8.10, such disclosure is required by law
or applicable stock exchange regulations, in which case notice of such
disclosure shall be given to the other party. In the event any such
disclosure is required, the disclosing party shall give the other party prior
written notice. Subject to each party's approval, the relationship
established by this Agreement may be described in any press release or other
public dissemination as a strategic relationship between the parties.

and the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
12.16. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect such determination shall not impair or affect the validity, legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and each provision is hereby
declared to be separate, severable and distinct. To the extent that any such
provision is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto
shall act in good faith to substitute for such provision, to the extent
possible, a new provision with content and purpose as close as possible to the
provision so determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
12.17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of
and shall be binding on and enforceable by the parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.
12.18. AMENDMENT AND WAIVERS. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement shall be binding on either party unless consented to in writing
by such party. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a
waiver of any other provision, and no waiver shall constitute a continuing
waiver unless otherwise provided.
12.19. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
12.20. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except as specifically provided
herein, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies on any person
other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.

Celestica Ireland and Motorola B.V. appoints CT Corporation System, in each case
to act as its process agent to receive on each of their behalf service of
process in any proceedings in New York. Service upon the process agent shall be
deemed to be good service upon Celestica Ireland or Motorola B.V., as
appropriate. If for any reason the process agent ceases to be able to act as
process agent or no longer has an address in New York, each of Celestica Ireland
and Motorola B.V. agrees to appoint a substitute process agent with an address
in New York acceptable to the other party and to deliver to that party a copy of
the substitute process agent's acceptance of that appointment prior to the first
process agent ceasing to act. In the event that either Celestica Ireland or
Motorola B.V. fails to appoint a substitute process agent in accordance with
this Article, it shall be effective service for the other party to serve the
process upon the last known address in New York of the last known process agent
of the defaulting party notified to it notwithstanding that such process agent
is no longer found at such address or has ceased to act.
