offered to IBM for [**] hereunder; or if StorageTek
offers to [**] [**] for [**] to [**] on or [**]
and/or [**] than are offered to [**]; then StorageTek
agrees to notify IBM in writing within [**] of making
such offer, and StorageTek agrees to [**] to IBM the
[**] prices, [**].
c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, under no
circumstances shall StorageTek be [**] to offer to
IBM any prices [**] for [**] that StorageTek has
offered to a[**] from StorageTek.
StorageTek grants IBM Audit Rights for purposes of
confirming that IBM is receiving [**] Prices. If the auditor
determines that IBM did not receive such prices, then in
addition to the remedies provided above, StorageTek will
reimburse IBM its costs for the audit. Audits will not exceed

7.8 LOWEST COST SOURCING.
The Parties agree that it is in their mutual interest for
StorageTek to obtain parts for new production and maintenance
purposes at the lowest practicable cost. If IBM identifies a
potential alternative source for any part, StorageTek will
make a good faith reasonable effort to qualify the
alternative. If such bid is comparable with the quality, terms
and conditions and offers a better price compared to the then
current source of such parts, and awarding such alternative
source a supply contract pursuant to such bid does not
adversely impact the terms of StorageTek's purchases of other
parts from the then current source, then the lower cost will
be used in determining prices to IBM for Equipment whether or
not StorageTek actually obtains the part or parts from such
alternative source.
7.9 TAXES/DUTIES
The prices for Equipment supplied under this Agreement are
exclusive of any customs charges and duties and sales, use,
privilege, excise and similar taxes levied by the USA, foreign
territories, or any other governmental entity on the Products,

pay and be responsible for the payment of any such taxes
(excluding taxes based upon StorageTek's net income) or
duties; and, to the extent legally required, StorageTek shall
collect any applicable taxes unless IBM establishes its
exemption therefrom. If StorageTek is required to pay any such
taxes or duties, IBM will reimburse StorageTek pursuant to
StorageTek's invoice.
IBM hereby represents to StorageTek that it is purchasing the
Products hereunder for the purpose of resale, rent, lease or
in-house use, and, if required by applicable law, IBM will
furnish StorageTek with pertinent and valid sales and use tax
exemption certificates.
7.10 PAYMENT TERMS
a. StorageTek will invoice IBM for Equipment on or after
the date on which such Equipment is Delivered. If any
unit of Equipment is Delivered and is not suitable to
be installed, then the Equipment shall not be

9. QUALITY
9.1 MANUFACTURING TESTING
Prior to Delivery, StorageTek shall conduct a mutually
agreed-upon preshipment manufacturing test at its plant on
each unit of Equipment. Notwithstanding such preshipment
manufacturing testing, all Equipment must conform to the
Specifications.
StorageTek will provide IBM on a quarterly basis with a
complete, summarized record of inspection and tests performed
on each unit of Equipment during the term of the Agreement.
Detailed records of inspection and tests (in manual and
electronic form) performed for each unit of Equipment shall
also be kept by StorageTek for three (3) years. Upon IBM's
request, StorageTek will provide IBM with access to an
electronic copy of the specific test results for each unit of
Equipment within two (2) business days after receipt of such
request.
IBM's representative may, if it so requests and at its sole
expense, witness the preshipment tests carried out by
StorageTek, provided such request is made at least three (3)
days prior to the scheduled Delivery of the items being
tested. Any such observation by IBM shall be subject to
StorageTek's reasonable safety and security rules and shall be
conducted to the extent feasible on a noninterference basis.
IBM may also conduct its own testing to the extent feasible on
a non- interference basis either at StorageTek's plant, its
own facilities or IBM's customers' facilities, at IBM's own
expense, to confirm that the Equipment meets the
Specifications. Any testing performed at StorageTek's plant
shall be subject to StorageTek's reasonable safety and
security rules.
9.2 ENGINEERING CHANGES
a. Mandatory Engineering Changes. If changes that may
affect the form, fit, function, interface,
reliability or serviceability of the Equipment
(including interchangeability with previously
purchased FRUs) are required in order to make the
Equipment sold hereunder conform to the
Specifications ("Mandatory Engineering Changes"),
StorageTek shall first obtain IBM's approval. If it
is mutually agreed that the change is to be made,
StorageTek shall make the changes at no charge to IBM
in all units of Equipment which are not yet delivered
to IBM. If such changes are required to make
delivered units of Equipment conform to those
Specifications, they shall be supplied in the form of
mandatory field change kits at no charge to IBM in
accordance with the procedure set forth below.
IBM shall supply labor to install, subject to Section
9.3h, all Mandatory Engineering Changes in delivered
units of Equipment.
15
22
Field change kits resulting from Mandatory
Engineering Changes described above will be
administered as follows:
(1) StorageTek will promptly send an engineering
change notice (ECN) to IBM prior to Delivery
of the first shipment of Equipment that
contains a Mandatory Engineering Change. IBM
shall issue a no-charge purchase order for
all mandatory field change kits that IBM
desires. Such kits and any Equipment
returned which are covered by the Mandatory
ECNs shall be shipped freight prepaid by
StorageTek, at no charge to IBM.
(2) StorageTek will ship the mandatory field
change kits according to the schedule that
is set forth in clause (4), below, and issue
a no-charge invoice to IBM for all parts
ordered and shipped as a part of the
mandatory field change kits.
(3) Subject to the terms of Section 15.3, IBM
will use reasonable efforts to see that
repairable parts (displaced by field change
kits) from Equipment are packaged separately
from other parts returned. IBM will send
Products to StorageTek, freight prepaid, and
Upgrades and FRUs, freight collect.
(4) For each Mandatory Engineering Change the
parties will agree upon an appropriate
round-▇▇▇▇▇ process for distributing field
change kits to the field and securing the
return of displaced FRUs for rework by
StorageTek.
b. Emergency Engineering Changes. Notwithstanding
Section 9.2a, above, StorageTek may issue any
engineering change necessary to remedy an
Equipment-down situation at a customer of IBM or to
make any unit of the Equipment safe (an "Emergency
Engineering Change") upon notice to IBM but without
any prior evaluation or approval by IBM; provided,
however, that StorageTek agrees to follow the
procedures as set forth in Section 9.2a in order to
implement a permanent solution to resolve the safety
or down situation that arose precipitating the need
for the engineering change.
As to any affected Equipment from time to time in
IBM's inventory or control, or already accepted by
IBM, IBM shall use reasonable efforts to promptly
accomplish the installation of such Emergency
Engineering Change. In the event of installation of
Emergency Engineering Changes by IBM hereunder,
StorageTek shall implement a corrective action plan,
including the provision of
16
23
information, materials, tools and parts necessary to
effect the installation of such Emergency Engineering
Changes on the affected Equipment (all without cost
to IBM), subject to Section 9.3h.
c. Optional Engineering Changes. In addition to
Mandatory Engineering Changes, it is recognized by
the Parties that there may be optional changes
requested by either IBM or StorageTek, which are not
required to make the units of Equipment conform to
the Specifications. The cost of implementing such
changes (including kits and labor) on delivered
Equipment shall be divided between the parties as
they mutually agree. StorageTek will deliver field
change kits for such changes to IBM, as specified in
IBM's purchase order, which purchase order shall be
given by IBM to StorageTek within such time period as
the Parties shall mutually agree.
d. Procedures Regarding Proposed Engineering Changes. In
connection with any engineering changes proposed
pursuant to Section 9.2a, above, StorageTek will
forward to IBM, at IBM's request, a minimum of two
(2) samples of each such proposed engineering change,
as well as the details of any proposed change, to
enable IBM to determine whether to approve such
change, including:
(1) the effect of the change on the form, fit,
function, interface, reliability or
serviceability of the Equipment;
(2) StorageTek's reference number for the
proposed change;
(3) StorageTek's identification of the item to
be changed and whether any items should be
returned;
(4) description of and reason for the change
with sufficient engineering detail and
applicable validation data, as endorsed by
StorageTek's quality control process, to
enable the proposal to be assessed;
(5) the date and, if available at the time,
StorageTek's serial number from which
StorageTek proposes to implement the change;
(6) whether retroactive action is proposed and,
if so, the details of any necessary field
action and the initial availability of FRUs
(on Engineering Changes, StorageTek will
advise IBM about the effect on (a)
outstanding orders for Equipment; (b) units
of Equipment which are at the time of such
proposed change in for repair or
replacement; and (c)
17
24
the next batch of units of Equipment to be
delivered from StorageTek's plant on which
the Engineering Change should be
implemented);
(7) intended alterations to FRUs, documentation,
tools and other relevant material supplied
or to be supplied to IBM; and
(8) whether any parts will become obsolete as a
result of the change.
Except for any Emergency Engineering Changes,
StorageTek is required to obtain IBM's prior written
approval for each Engineering Change before
StorageTek's implementation of the same.
e. Revalidation. Upon implementation of each engineering
change, StorageTek agrees to perform revalidation
testing at no charge to IBM to ensure that the
Equipment so changed meets the Specifications.
f. Obsolete Upgrades and FRUs. If StorageTek makes any
Mandatory, Emergency or StorageTek-initiated
Engineering Change which renders any Upgrades and
FRUs obsolete (i.e., unusable), StorageTek shall
replace the obsolete Upgrades and FRUs at no charge
to IBM in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 9.2a, above. No returns are authorized for
field change kits that are requested as a result of
an optional IBM- initiated engineering change which
renders any Upgrade or FRU obsolete.
9.3 QUALITY LEVELS
a. RAS Criteria. StorageTek shall maintain (i)
throughout [**], and (ii) for a period of [**] after
the date of last Delivery of each type of Product
(provided IBM pays for the Product Engineering
Services unless it is not required to do so and
StorageTek is still providing Product Engineering
Services for its own distribution of Equipment or
Devices); the following reliability, availability and
service ("RAS") levels for the Products:
SERVICE CALL CALCULATION

FAILURE RATE [**]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impact Error measurements for Kodiak will not count
toward any criteria until the first quarter in which
[**] units of Kodiak have been installed by IBM.
The RAS measurements shall exclude impacts or
failures of Products where a microcode or engineering
change is available which, if installed, would have
prevented the impact or failure from occurring;
provided, however, that such microcode or engineering
change was made available by StorageTek for
installation pursuant to a nonemergency (i.e.,
generally distributed) engineering change at least
three (3) months prior to the date of an Impact Error
or Service Call. The RAS measurements will exclude
any Impact Errors and Service Calls that arise from
[**] or more concurrent Drive failures in the same
array, and any Service Calls and Impact Errors for
units of Iceberg and Kodiak installed as part of the
ESP, as defined in the SOW.
For the first ninety (90) days following the
availability of a Major Enhancement, IBM will
exercise reasonable efforts to install
19
26
within 30 days engineering changes that StorageTek
designates as "critical."
Calculations of the actual Service Call Rate and
Impact Error Rate will be made based on U.S.
installations only.
IBM will notify StorageTek in writing of an Impact
Error within [**] after an Impact Error occurs. In
order to assist IBM in this notification process,
StorageTek will provide IBM with [**] to StorageTek's
[**]. IBM acknowledges that the [**], and IBM agrees
to keep such information confidential and in
accordance with the AECI between the Parties. If
detailed information about an Impact Error is needed,
then StorageTek will notify IBM in writing of its
need to obtain such information [**] after IBM
reports an Impact Error to StorageTek. Upon receipt
of StorageTek's written request for detailed
information, IBM will obtain and supply to StorageTek
the requested information, if and as available, [**]
after the receipt of StorageTek's written request.
StorageTek will analyze the available information and
determine whether an Impact Error occurred.
StorageTek will then communicate its decision in
writing as to whether it believes an Impact Error has
or has not occurred to IBM. If StorageTek believes
that an Impact Error has not occurred, then it will
provide in writing to IBM, [**] after StorageTek's
receipt of the available information, a reason for
StorageTek's belief that an Impact Error has not
occurred and shall [**]. If IBM fails to notify
StorageTek in writing of an Impact Error or to
provide written information that is available, within
the established time periods, then the [**]. If
StorageTek fails to request information in writing
from IBM, to provide in writing to IBM a reason for
its belief that an Impact Error has not occurred, or
to [**] in writing to the [**], within the
established periods, then the [**].
b. Error Free Installation Criteria. StorageTek shall
maintain a [**] Error Free Installation rate for
Products and Upgrades (separately calculated) until
the date on which IBM no longer markets Products and
Upgrades. These measurements will be calculated
separately for Products and Upgrades. This rate
assumes that an average IBM-customer subsystem
installation is comprised of an Iceberg subsystem, or
a Kodiak control unit and one connecting storage
cabinet. If the average IBM-customer installation for
the Kodiak Product involves more than one connecting
storage cabinet, then the [**] rate for Kodiak will
be reduced by [**] for each connecting storage
cabinet in calculating such average.
c. Levels for Future Functions. Features or functions
added after the initial shipment in volume of Iceberg
and Kodiak will be measured
20
27
against specific reliability, availability and
service criteria that is to be documented and
addressed in each applicable product development plan
and related specification for the future feature or
function, but in any event they must meet the Iceberg
and Kodiak criterion as specified herein.
d. Guardband. StorageTek shall not be considered to be
failing to meet the criterion unless the percentage
by which IBM's actual measurements exceeds the
criterion is at least higher than the Guardband
percentage set forth above in Section 9.3a for
Service Calls or Impact Errors.
e. Action Plan. If StorageTek fails to meet the Service
Call Rate, Impact Error Rate, or Error Free
Installation Rate, then StorageTek shall promptly
investigate the cause of the failures, and generate
and provide to IBM within ten (10) days a root-cause
failure analysis that describes the cause of the
failures. StorageTek will promptly develop and
implement an action plan acceptable to IBM to resolve
such failures, which plan shall include remedies for
failure to meet the Service Call Rate, Impact Error
Rate, or Error Free Installation Rate in such action
plan.
StorageTek shall provide all support necessary to
meet an agreed-upon repair turnaround time that is
established in the action plan to maintain IBM's
customers' satisfaction. StorageTek's plan may
include, but is not limited to increased repair
capacity (i.e., labor, equipment, facilities);
expedited freight; and providing new, repaired and/or
upgraded buffer stock to IBM's stocking locations,
distributors and customer sites.
f. Price Reduction for FRU Costs. StorageTek shall
provide a price reduction to IBM [**] after the date
of last Delivery of each type of Products in an
amount that is equal to [**] ("Excess FRU Cost"). The
calculation of this price reduction shall
specifically exclude [**]. The price reduction
provided hereunder may [**] StorageTek. Any claim to
such price reduction will be deemed waived if not
made by IBM no later than [**] days after the [**] in
which such Excess FRU Cost occurred.
g. Reporting of FRU Consumption. IBM will provide a
quarterly report to StorageTek that summarizes
IBM-reported fault symptom information for the
consumption of FRUs in repair actions that are
undertaken by IBM in the United States. The
summarized information in this report will be
adjusted by IBM to exclude those items which qualify
as Cost Exclusions. This information is considered to
be IBM confidential, and StorageTek agrees to keep
21
28
such information confidential under the terms of the
Agreement for Exchange of Confidential Information
between the Parties.
h. Credit for Labor Costs. The target for labor required
for repair actions (including [**] and those repair
actions related to [**], but excluding labor required
for [**] is [**] for each [**] during a Machine
Month. StorageTek shall provide a credit to IBM on a
[**] basis up through [**] after the date of last
Delivery of Product, upon StorageTek's receipt of
appropriate supporting documentation, for average
labor costs per Machine Month incurred by IBM in
connection with repair actions that are in excess of
[**] of that [**] target ("Excess Labor Cost"). The
amount of this credit will be calculated by
multiplying the number of hours in excess of [**] of
that [**] target by a rate of [**] per hour. In the
event that IBM incurs labor costs in excess of [**]
of that [**] target and the Parties determine that
the incurrence of [**], then a [**] action will be
developed and implemented. This plan shall include
[**]. The calculation of Excess Labor Cost will be
based on [**] and [**]. The credit provided hereunder
may [**] be used by [**], first, by [**] against any
[**] during the [**]; second, against [**]; or third,
[**] after [**]. Any claim to such credit will be
deemed waived if not made by IBM no later than [**]
days after the [**] in which such Excess Labor Cost
occurred.
i. Attainment. The RAS criteria will be separately
calculated and applied to Iceberg and Kodiak. If
StorageTek fails to meet the established RAS criteria
for Service Calls or Impact Error rates set forth in
Section 9.3a for Iceberg or Kodiak in any calendar
quarter (after taking into consideration the
applicable Guardbands), then StorageTek shall be
given until the end of the immediately succeeding
quarter to implement the action plan described in
Section 9.3e, above.
If the RAS criteria is missed again during an
immediately succeeding [**], then an amount equal to
[**] by which the RAS experience for such period was
more than the target RAS criterion set forth in
Section 9.3a., above, for a [**] with [**] shall be
[**] and [**] purchases and any [**] obtained under
this Agreement [**] such [**] to determine the [**]
of [**] to be acquired during [**]. In the event that
this [**] results in a [**] of [**] and [**]
purchases and any [**] obtained under this Agreement
during [**] that is [**], then IBM shall [**] and
[**] in an [**] Section 9.3a., above, for each [**]
toward [**] over [**].
If the Parties agree on a [**] for [**] purchases and
the RAS criteria is missed again during an
immediately succeeding [**], then IBM [**] and/or
[**]. The amount of [**] that IBM
22
29
will obtain will be calculated by [**] set forth in
Section 9.3a, above, for a miss associated with [**].
However, if IBM reaches [**] whereby [**], or if [**]
by the Parties, then IBM will [**] and [**] that is
equal to the [**] and [**] [**] (i) the [**]; and
(ii) [**].
The Parties agree that [**], which will be [**] by
the Parties, shall be available with regard to a RAS
criteria miss [**]. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, no [**] or [**] shall be given to IBM with
respect to any RAS criteria miss for [**] until [**];
or for [**] during [**] and any [**].
The [**] that IBM is [**] will be calculated
separately for "Service Calls" and "Impact Errors."
Such separate amounts will be aggregated to determine
the amount of the credit that IBM is entitled to
receive and [**] of [**] and [**].
9.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE
StorageTek shall maintain at its sole cost and expense an
effective quality control system to maintain under continuous
control the entire process of design, manufacture and FRU
repairs, including the packaging and shipping of Equipment.
This system shall include checks to verify that all
requirements of the Specifications are satisfied.
StorageTek is responsible to insure that workmanship,
construction and other standards specified by this system
satisfy the requirements of the Specifications. StorageTek's
quality assurance shall be applied in a manner that will
maintain a consistent level of quality. StorageTek's quality
control procedures and instructions shall be made available to
StorageTek's employees, agents, contractors and
subcontractors, and to IBM, at the place of manufacture.
Upon request, IBM may conduct inspections on a
non-interference basis at StorageTek's manufacturing and
repair plants at any time during normal working hours provided
that, within 24 hours if an emergency situation exists or at
least three (3) days under non-emergency situations, prior
written notice is given by IBM. StorageTek will use reasonable
efforts to accommodate visits on shorter notice. Such
inspection may, at IBM's option, include the witnessing of
tests and inspection of Equipment, whether completed or not.
StorageTek will promptly take appropriate corrective action
with regard to any deficiencies found by IBM and reasonably
agreed to by StorageTek.
9.5 ISO 9000 CERTIFICATION AND USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS
StorageTek shall maintain ISO 9000 certification, and use
statistical process control systems to monitor quality, for
its manufacturing and
23
30
development processes for Equipment supplied to IBM during the
term of the Agreement.
StorageTek shall ensure that its subcontractors that are
involved with the manufacturing and development of Equipment
shall maintain ISO 9000 certification, and use similar
statistical process control systems to monitor quality.
StorageTek shall also ensure that its suppliers who provide
parts, assemblies or subassemblies that are used in the
manufacturing and development of Equipment shall maintain ISO
9000 certification or use reasonable process control systems
to monitor quality.
It is the sole responsibility of StorageTek to select and
manage its suppliers. StorageTek will make available to IBM,
upon request, a list of all suppliers that are used to supply
parts or components in StorageTek's manufacturing process for
Equipment. StorageTek agrees to use its best efforts to notify
IBM of any additions or changes made in its suppliers. If IBM
reasonably determines that there is a supplier that may be of
concern to it, then StorageTek shall develop and implement a
mutually agreeable plan to address IBM's concerns.
StorageTek shall provide, upon written request by IBM, all
information pertaining to the measurements of quality that are
made for Equipment, and generated or derived from StorageTek's
statistical process control systems.
StorageTek is solely responsible for the quality of Equipment
supplied to IBM. Review and approval by IBM of StorageTek's or
any of its subcontractor's quality process systems does not
relieve StorageTek of this responsibility.
StorageTek agrees to notify IBM of any planned significant
changes that may adversely affect its manufacturing processes
or could adversely affect the form, fit, function, quality,
reliability, serviceability or safety of the Equipment to be
supplied to IBM no later than ninety (90) days before planned
implementation.
10. PRODUCT LEAD TIMES AND FORECAST
10.1 IBM will provide a monthly build forecast to StorageTek for a
[**] period (or a period equal to the remaining term of this
Agreement if less than [**]). The current quarter forecast
will be broken down by week and by Delivery location. Volumes,
specified in units of Product and Upgrades by Delivery
location, for the quarter following the then-current quarter
will be established and provided to StorageTek no later than
[**] prior to the start of any given quarter. At such time,
the forecast for the upcoming quarter will be binding, subject
to the quarterly volume modifications referred to in Sections
10.2 and 10.3. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding
sentence, volume forecasts are provided as good faith
estimates
24
31
of IBM's anticipated requirements for Products and Upgrades
for the periods indicated based on current market conditions
and do not constitute commitments to purchase any fixed
quantity of Products.
10.2 StorageTek agrees to supply, and IBM agrees to issue purchase
orders for and take Delivery of, during any current quarter,
and to pay for in accordance with Section 7 above, [**] of the
[**] units forecasted for the [**] in the binding forecast
provided by IBM to StorageTek pursuant to Section 10.1. Unless
IBM [**] in the [**] by issuing purchase orders therefor,
StorageTek agrees to use such [**] to satisfy the next
quarter's orders. Any units not required under this section to
be purchased and delivered in the then-current quarter will be
applied to and delivered to fulfill the next-following
quarter's forecast before any new orders for such
next-following quarter are fulfilled.
10.3 After IBM provides a binding forecast to StorageTek pursuant
to Section 10.1, IBM may also require StorageTek to Deliver
during the current quarter by issuing purchase orders for [**]
and [**], for which IBM shall pay in accordance with Section
7, above, up to [**] of the units forecasted as of date the
volumes became binding as provided in Section 10.1.
10.4 CURRENT QUARTER
Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3, solely to assist StorageTek
in planning its manufacturing operations for units that are
forecasted for the current quarter, IBM will provide
modifications to the previously submitted weekly schedules in
the current forecast, as follows:
FLEXIBILITY NOTICE PERIOD
TARGET (in days from anticipated
Delivery date)
--------------
+/-[**] within [**]
+/-[**] within [**]
+/-[**} within [**]
StorageTek shall [**] in accordance with the binding forecast
unless IBM issues purchase orders for [**]. Any modifications
that IBM makes to the [**] shall not affect IBM's obligation
to purchase [**] that were originally forecasted for the [**]
unless IBM submits binding purchase orders for additional
units of [**] and [**]. In addition, under no circumstances
shall StorageTek be required to Deliver to IBM per the matrix
above more than [**] of [**] or [**] during the [**] , and the
[**].
10.5 STORAGETEK'S ALLOCATION
a. If StorageTek is unable to meet its Delivery
commitments and must allocate its capacity,
inventory, test equipment, resources, use
25
32
of personnel, parts, components, supplier resources
and capabilities, etc., that are used to produce
Equipment, then StorageTek agrees to:
(1) act in good faith; and
(2) allocate its capacity, supplier resources
and capabilities, inventory, test equipment,
resources, use of personnel, parts,
components, and available supply of [**],
among IBM and other customers based upon the
delivery dates requested in purchase orders
received by StorageTek from IBM and other
customers.
For a given date, StorageTek will allocate production
for shipment to IBM and other customers on a [**]
basis.
b. StorageTek will allocate parts, components and
materials in accordance with the following
priorities:
(1) Code A FRUs order/requirements are filled
first; and
(2) then a fair allocation between manufacturing
orders and nonemergency maintenance parts
order/requirements.
11. PURCHASE ORDERS, ALTERATIONS & RESCHEDULING
11.1 IBM may submit purchase orders at any time; provided, however,
that subject to Section 11.6, any order shall be binding on
both Parties if such order is within the forecast range set
forth in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, and is submitted not less
than ten (10) business days before IBM's requested date of
Delivery. IBM may request that StorageTek deliver in fewer
than ten (10) business days and StorageTek may agree to do so,
which delivery shall hereafter be referred to as "Expedite
Shipment."
11.2 This Agreement does not constitute a purchase order. IBM may
issue purchase orders from time to time during the term of
this Agreement in either electronic (EDI) or written form.
Authorization to StorageTek to perform any work or produce any
Equipment under this Agreement will be through IBM purchase
orders only. Alterations to the quantity, delivery date,
engineering level, or other items on purchase orders may be
made by IBM from time to time, subject to StorageTek's
agreement. Purchase orders will be considered noncancelable
within ten (10) days of the scheduled Delivery date.
11.3 IBM shall submit its purchase orders to StorageTek at the
address set forth in the Notices section of this Agreement.
IBM's purchase orders will include:
26
33
a. IBM's part, model or feature numbers, configuration
and description of Equipment;
b. quantity required;
c. unit or item price and total order price;
d. required delivery date(s);
e. delivery instructions (including a carrier who will
accept delivery at StorageTek's address); and
f. reference to this Agreement.
Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing, additional
terms and conditions on IBM's purchase orders or on
StorageTek's acknowledgment, whether in conflict with this
Agreement or not, are superseded hereby and are of no force
and effect.
11.4 StorageTek agrees to accept conforming IBM purchase orders and
to manufacture, supply and Deliver Equipment in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. StorageTek
agrees to provide written acknowledgment of IBM's purchase
orders within two (2) days, for volumes within IBM's forecast,
or within five (5) days, for volumes in excess of IBM's
forecast, as measured from StorageTek's actual receipt of the
purchase order (without regard to the Notices section of this
agreement, except for EDI) which purchase order may be made
verbally and/or in advance of StorageTek's receipt of a hard
copy confirming such order. If StorageTek's acknowledgment is
not received by IBM within the two (2) or five (5) day period,
as described above, from the date of receipt of the purchase
order from IBM, then the purchase order, including the
requested delivery date(s) will be deemed to be accepted by
StorageTek. StorageTek may not reject any IBM purchase order
that conforms to the requirements of this Agreement and covers
quantities forecasted by IBM, as described in Section 10.
11.5 Orders for FRUs needed on a "Code A" basis (i.e.,
emergency-customer down) will be shipped by StorageTek within
twenty-four (24) hours at a price not to exceed the lesser of
[**] of the price in Exhibit 5 or such price plus [**], with
IBM designating the carrier and being responsible for freight
and insurance costs. However, IBM will not pay any premium
(i.e. pay only 100%) for Code A FRUs necessitated because
StorageTek has failed to deliver nonemergency FRU orders
within the lead times set forth in Exhibit 5.
11.6 Except for any [**] issued by IBM to StorageTek for [**] to be
Delivered after the [**] this Agreement, IBM may cancel
purchase order(s) or any portions thereof for any reason by
notifying StorageTek in writing at least
27
34
ten (10) days prior to the scheduled Delivery date.
Cancellation will be effective upon StorageTek's receipt of
the written cancellation notice from IBM. StorageTek will
immediately cease building such units for the affected
purchase order(s) in accordance with the cancellation notice.
IBM will have no liability for canceled purchase orders other
than as set forth in Section 10.2.
11.7 If for any reason StorageTek is unable to Deliver as required
by accepted IBM purchase order(s), and fails to correct such
inability within [**] of such failure, IBM will have the right
to cancel such purchase order(s) or portions thereof by
notifying StorageTek in writing. If IBM cancels purchase
orders under this Section 11.7, IBM's only obligation will be
to pay for Products or Upgrades already Delivered at the time
of IBM's cancellation notice.
11.8 Due to ongoing and unpredictable market conditions, StorageTek
agrees to permit IBM, upon written notice to StorageTek, to
require StorageTek to reconfigure units of Products and
Upgrades as follows:
a. Configuration changes that do not change a unit model
number may be made without additional cost until [**]
before scheduled Delivery; and
b. Any other configuration changes may be made at any
time (including Product and Upgrades that require
reconfiguration after Delivery) and such
configuration changes will be [**]. StorageTek and
IBM will agree in advance on a schedule of lead times
and costs that will apply to such configurations.
11.9 Subject to Section 10, IBM may reschedule purchase order(s) or
any portions thereof for any reason by notifying StorageTek in
writing at least [**] prior to the Delivery Date specified on
the purchase order(s).
11.10 For the last quarter of this Agreement, the purchase orders
submitted by IBM to StorageTek shall be noncancelable unless
StorageTek is manufacturing Devices.
11.11 Except as otherwise provided in [**] Products and Upgrades
that are supplied to IBM hereunder will consist of new parts
and components. FRUs that IBM returns will be reworked by
StorageTek to an equivalent-to-new reliability level. Such
reworked FRUs will not be used in any new Products or Upgrades
Delivered to IBM hereunder, but may instead be returned to IBM
as reworked FRUs.
28
35
12. CONSIGNMENT
12.1 IBM will consign certain disk drives ("Drives") to StorageTek
for use in Equipment. Except as otherwise provided in [**] of
the ▇▇▇, Drives supplied by IBM to StorageTek shall only be
used by StorageTek to build Equipment for IBM and shall remain
the property of IBM. This Section 12 shall not apply to [**]
StorageTek pursuant to the terms of Section 8 of this
Agreement.
12.2 StorageTek agrees to adhere to the terms and conditions of the
IBM Consignment Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4,
provided, however, that the terms of this Section 12 prevail
over those of Exhibit 4.
12.3 IBM agrees to consign Drives to StorageTek in accordance with
a mutually agreed Profile based on at least a five-day buffer
ahead of StorageTek's build cycle, and including a yield
factor based upon the previous quarter's experience and
calculated using a mutually agreed formula. Any Drives, or
other IBM-supplied parts and components, that are not used by
StorageTek due to integration fall-out will be returned to IBM
within ten (10) days after such fall-out.
12.4 If IBM fails to provide consigned Drives to StorageTek in
accordance with Section 12.3, and StorageTek's manufacturing
line is down such that StorageTek cannot meet its Delivery
dates to IBM, then StorageTek will agree, per Section 10.2, to
hold up to [**], as the case may be, of such undelivered and
forecasted Products and Upgrades, without Drives, in inventory
for up to [**]. If the amount of such Products and Upgrades
held in inventory exceeds [**] of the forecasted volumes then
StorageTek will notify IBM, and IBM will [**].
12.5 If IBM Drives are not available for an extended period of
time, IBM may request assistance from StorageTek in securing
drives from other drive manufacturers in lieu of using IBM
Drives. StorageTek agrees, on a best effort basis, to assist
in securing the most cost effective, high quality alternative,
and with the agreement of IBM, to take the steps necessary to
integrate such drives into the Product. In such event, the
parties will agree in advance on an equitable division of
StorageTek's cost of securing, qualifying and integrating such
drives, including any cost relating to inventory or required
firm purchase commitments even if such substitution is only
temporary in nature.
12.6 StorageTek agrees to return to IBM freight collect any Drives
in StorageTek's inventory, within five (5) days of receipt of
IBM's written (or EDI) request.

13. DELIVERY
13.1 ON-TIME DELIVERY
a. StorageTek shall use its best efforts to ensure that
every scheduled Delivery date is met. StorageTek must
notify IBM in advance if a scheduled Delivery date
will not be met. StorageTek will make every
reasonable effort at its expense to ensure the
earliest possible Delivery date and quantities for
late Equipment, including, but not limited to,
overtime and expedite charges. "On schedule" means
[**]. Unless delay is caused by IBM's delay in its
supply of Drives or IBM-supplied parts and
components, StorageTek will arrange for premium
transportation and pay, at StorageTek's sole cost and
expense, for the difference between normal
transportation and such premium transportation,
including, but not limited to, air transportation and
expedited freight charges. StorageTek also agrees to
provide, at IBM's request, an action plan to correct
late shipments and to resolve any Delivery problems.
b. If, during any [**] period, StorageTek fails, on a
one-time basis only, to Deliver more than [**], but
not more than [**], of the units of [**] and [**]
that are scheduled for Delivery in a calendar month
by their scheduled Delivery dates, then StorageTek
shall be required to expedite shipment of such units
in accordance with Section 13.1. If more than [**] of
such units of [**] and [**] are Delivered late in
[**], then an amount equal to [**] the number of [**]
that were [**] [**] in excess of [**] shall be added
to [**] and [**] purchases and credits obtained under
this Agreement during [**] (i.e., as though IBM had
already purchased such [**]) to determine the [**] to
be [**] during [**] . In the event that this [**]
results in a combined volume of [**] and [**]
purchases and credits obtained under this Agreement
during [**] that is [**], then IBM shall receive a
[**] and [**] in an amount equal to [**] under this
Section 13, On-time Delivery; provided, however, that
under no circumstances shall IBM receive any [**]
hereunder after the combined total of [**] and [**]

Agreement exceeds [**] during the [**].
c. If StorageTek fails to Deliver more than [**] of the
units of [**] and [**] that are scheduled for
Delivery by their scheduled Delivery dates in the
[**] , and except for units subject to the [**]
provision defined in 13.1b, above, then an amount
equal to [**] the number of [**] that were [**] shall
be [**] and [**] obtained under this Agreement during
[**] to determine [**] of future units of [**] to be
acquired during [**]. In the event that this [**]
results in a combined volume of [**] and [**]
purchases and credits obtained under this Agreement
during [**] that is [**], then IBM shall [**] to be
[**] in an amount equal to [**] under this Section
13, On-time Delivery; provided, however, that under
no circumstances shall IBM receive any [**] hereunder
after the combined total of
30
37
[**] and [**] purchases and credits [**] obtained
under this Agreement exceeds [**] during the [**].
d. If, in the [**] following any [**] in which a [**]
was made under this Section 13.1, StorageTek fails to
Deliver more than [**] of the units of [**] and [**]
that are scheduled for Delivery by their scheduled
Delivery dates, then an amount equal to [**] the
number of [**] shall be [**] to [**] and [**]
purchases and credits obtained under this Agreement
during [**] [**] to determine [**] of future units of
[**] to be acquired during [**] . In the event that
this [**] results in a combined volume of [**] and
[**] purchases and credits obtained under this
Agreement during [**] that is [**], then IBM shall
receive a [**] and [**] in an amount equal to [**]
under this Section 13, On-time Delivery; provided,
however, that under no circumstances shall IBM
receive any [**] hereunder after the combined total
of [**] and [**] purchases and credits in [**]
obtained under this Agreement [**] during the [**].
e. If, in the next following month, StorageTek fails to
Deliver more than [**] of the units of [**] and [**]
that are scheduled for Delivery by their scheduled
Delivery dates, then an amount equal to [**] the
number of [**] that were [**] by StorageTek shall be
[**] and [**] purchases and credits obtained under
this Agreement during [**] to determine [**] of
future units of [**] to be acquired during [**]. In
the event that this addition results in a combined
volume of [**] and [**] purchases and credits
obtained under this Agreement during [**] that is
[**] , then IBM shall receive a [**] and [**] in an
amount equal to [**] under this Section 13, On-time
Delivery; provided, however, that under no
circumstances shall IBM receive any [**] hereunder
after the combined total of [**] and [**] purchases
and credits in [**] obtained under this Agreement
[**] during the [**].
f. If, in the next following month, and for each
additional consecutive month, StorageTek fails to
Deliver more than [**] of the units of [**] and [**]
that are scheduled for Delivery by their scheduled
Delivery dates, then an amount equal to [**] the
number of [**] that were [**] by StorageTek shall be
[**] and [**] purchases and credits obtained under
this Agreement during [**] to determine [**] of
future units of [**] to be acquired during [**] . In
the event that this addition results in a combined
volume of [**] and [**] purchases and credits
obtained under this Agreement during 1998 that is
[**], then IBM shall receive a [**] and [**] in an
amount equal to [**] under this Section 13, On-time
Delivery; provided, however, that under no
circumstances shall IBM receive any [**] hereunder
after the combined total of [**] and [**] purchases
and credits in [**] [**] during the [**].
31
38
g. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section, and in lieu of credits provided in other
paragraphs of this Section, if, in any calendar
month, and subject to Section 13.1b. above,
StorageTek fails to Deliver more than [**] of the
units of [**] [**] and [**] that are scheduled for
Delivery by their scheduled Delivery dates, then an
amount equal to [**] the number of [**] that were
[**] by StorageTek shall be added to [**] and [**]
purchases and credits obtained under this Agreement
during [**] to determine [**] of future units of [**]
to be acquired during [**] . In the event that this
addition results in a combined volume of [**] and
[**] purchases and credits obtained under this
Agreement during [**] that is greater than [**] then
IBM shall receive a [**] and [**] in an amount equal
to [**] under this Section 13, On-time Delivery;
provided, however, that under no circumstances shall
IBM receive any [**] hereunder after the combined

[**] of [**] during the [**] .
h. Any credit [**] by StorageTek to IBM [**] such [**]
and [**] [**] by StorageTek [**] credited.
i. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section, units of [**] and [**] which StorageTek
fails to Deliver by the Delivery date will not be
counted as failures to Deliver if StorageTek causes
such units to be delivered to IBM customers by the
delivery date IBM has committed to such customers
(the "Commit Date") or if IBM has requested
StorageTek to Expedite Shipment and StorageTek fails
to do so within the period specified in Section 11.1.
IBM will notify StorageTek in writing prior to the
Commit Date in order to give StorageTek an
opportunity to expedite shipment, [**] . IBM will
also notify StorageTek in writing of each unit of
[**] or [**] which fails to arrive by the Commit
Date.
j. If IBM fails to deliver Drives to StorageTek in
accordance with the [**] in Section [**] of this
Agreement and this delay results in [**] in
accordance with [**], then IBM agrees to [**], and
StorageTek agrees to [**], and such units [**].
k. Subject to Section 13.1(i), if StorageTek fails to
deliver to IBM more than [**] of the units of
Products and Upgrades scheduled for Delivery by the
scheduled Delivery dates in a month, for [**]
consecutive calendar [**] then the payment terms in
Section 7.10a will be immediately extended by [**]
until [**] after the first month in which StorageTek
Delivers 98% or more of [**] and [**] by their
scheduled Delivery dates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 13.1(k) shall not apply [**]
units of [**] and [**] are
32
39
Delivered during each month of any [**] consecutive
calendar month period.
l. If the Parties agree on a [**] for [**], the Parties
agree that similar remedies as those in Sections
13.1(b) through 13.1(g) shall apply to units of [**]
to be Delivered during the [**]. However, if IBM
reaches [**] whereby [**], or if [**] by the Parties,
then IBM will [**] calculated in a manner consistent
with Sections 13.1(b) through 13.1(g).
m. The Parties agree that similar remedies as those set
forth above in this Section 13, which will be [**] by
the Parties, shall apply for units of [**] to be
Delivered through [**] . IBM expressly reserves the
right to assert that any failure to ship [**] and
[**] on a timely basis could constitute a material
breach of StorageTek's obligations under this
Agreement.
13.2 CARRIER
It is understood and agreed that IBM shall make all
arrangements for shipments of the Equipment. It shall be the
responsibility of IBM, at its own expense, to supply
StorageTek with detailed documentation and instructions and
all necessary export licenses, customs declarations and
certificates in properly executed form required for successful
shipment of Equipment from the Manufacturing Site and entry
into foreign territories. StorageTek shall notify IBM when
Equipment is ready for shipment from StorageTek's plant. IBM
will pay all shipping and transportation charges directly to
the carrier or freight forwarder as long as shipped in
accordance with IBM's routing instructions. If IBM requests
that StorageTek arrange shipping, IBM shall reimburse
StorageTek for the shipping charges pursuant to StorageTek's
invoice. In no event will IBM reimburse StorageTek for, or pay
any C.O.D. charges, should StorageTek ship by another carrier
without prior IBM approval. If StorageTek ships using other
than an IBM-approved carrier, StorageTek is responsible for
any incremental increase in freight charges.
13.3 TITLE/RISK OF LOSS
Title to Equipment and risk of loss shall pass to IBM at
StorageTek's plant of manufacture loading dock. [F.O.B. by
UCC/ExWorks by INCOTERMS]; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
title to all Licensed Works will remain with StorageTek,
except as provided in the ▇▇▇ and its related Attachments. All
claims for shipping damage shall be resolved between IBM,
carriers or freight forwarders handling the Equipment and the
insurance companies and agents responsible for adjusting such
claims, and StorageTek shall have no responsibility with
respect thereto. However, at IBM's request,
33
40
StorageTek agrees to cooperate reasonably with IBM in filing
and settling such claims.
13.4 PACKAGING
StorageTek will package each unit of Equipment according to an
agreed-upon Specification for packaging. The prices for
Equipment include all packaging costs.
14. EQUIPMENT WARRANTY
14.1 StorageTek warrants that units of Equipment (excluding Drives
and nonserialized FRUs) that are to be provided to IBM
hereunder conform to the Specifications and are and shall
remain free from defects in materials and workmanship, for the
time periods specified in this Section 14.1.
a. The warranty period for each unit of Products and
Upgrades shall be [**] after the earlier of:
(1) [**]; or
(2) [**].
b. StorageTek will serialize the FRUs identified as
serialized on Exhibit 5, and as to those FRUs the
warranty period shall be [**] after the earlier of:
(1) [**] ; or
(2) [**].
14.2 All warranties provided by StorageTek to IBM hereunder shall
survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance and payment and
shall not be affected by the fact that IBM has resold, rented
or leased units of Equipment to others.
14.3 IBM will maintain failure records for Products and Upgrades to
the same extent as IBM maintains such records for similar
high-end direct access storage device products marketed by it.
If IBM believes failures for a given serial number unit of
Equipment warrants replacement, IBM may request and StorageTek
may agree to replace the same at no cost to IBM. StorageTek's
agreement will not unreasonably be withheld. In order to
improve Equipment quality and minimize costs, StorageTek may
request relevant information from the data which IBM retains
regarding failure by machine serial number. IBM may agree to
provide such information to StorageTek. Such agreement will
not be unreasonably withheld.
14.4 StorageTek's liability under warranty pursuant to Section 14.1
is limited to: Delivery to the IBM regional stocking locations
specified by IBM of retrofit kits (containing FRUs) with
installation instructions (at no charge
34
41
to IBM) as necessary to make Equipment conform to the
Specifications, or otherwise be free from defects in materials
and workmanship; or repair or replacement, at StorageTek's
option, without cost to IBM, of the defective Equipment. IBM
will use reasonable efforts to resolve customer issues through
use of FRUs or retrofit kits before requesting repair or
replacement of the defective Product or Upgrade. Labor to
remove defective FRUs and install replacement FRUs under this
warranty shall be supplied by IBM at no charge to StorageTek,
subject to Section 9.3h. Where warranty can be provided by
replacing a FRU, StorageTek will provide and IBM will install
the replacement FRU.
14.5 All warranty claims shall be made by IBM, regardless of any
transfer of title or possession of the Equipment by IBM to
other parties, and StorageTek agrees that IBM may make
warranty claims against StorageTek on the behalf of any
rightful user or possessor of the Equipment.
14.6 StorageTek's liability to perform warranty under this Section
14 shall not apply to failures of any unit of Equipment
caused by:
a. Physical abuse or use that is not consistent with
operating instructions for the Equipment; or
b. Modification (by other than StorageTek's personnel or
agents) in any way other than approved by StorageTek;
provided, however, that the warranty shall not be
voided by repair or replacement of FRUs or the
attachment of items in the manner described in
maintenance or installation instructions provided by
StorageTek.
14.7 Claims under the terms of this warranty shall be submitted to
StorageTek in writing (including EDI) and shall clearly state
the Product or Upgrade serial number. Where available, IBM
shall send StorageTek its field defect report. Defective FRUs
replaced under this warranty become the property of
StorageTek.
14.8 Both Parties will ensure that FRUs returned to the other Party
are properly and adequately packaged, and IBM agrees to use
the same or equivalent packaging as StorageTek uses to package
such FRUs.
14.9 StorageTek shall use reasonable commercial efforts to complete
repairs of FRUs for in-warranty units within thirty (30)

Agreement by negotiations between executives of the Parties.
If a controversy or claim should arise, the Agreement
Administrators, or their respective successors, or their
superiors, will meet in person or phone, as they decide, at
least once and will attempt to resolve the matter. Either
Agreement Administrator may require the other to meet within
seven days at a mutually agreed upon time and location.
If the matter has not been resolved within ten days of their
first meeting, or a request for such meeting if no meeting
occurs, the Agreement Administrators shall refer the matter to
senior executives, who shall have authority to settle the
dispute (hereafter "Senior Executives"). The Senior Executive
for IBM shall be the General Manager of IBM's Storage System
business or his/her designee and the Senior Executive of
StorageTek shall be its Chief Executive Officer, or his/her
designee. Thereupon, the Agreement Administrators shall
promptly prepare and exchange memoranda stating the issues in
dispute, and their positions, summarizing the negotiations
which have taken place, and attaching relevant documents. The
Senior Executives will meet in person or by telephone within
seven (7) days of the end of the ten (10) day period referred
to above, at a mutually agreed time.
45
52
The first meeting shall be held at the offices of the
Agreement Administrator receiving the request to meet. If more
than one meeting is held, the meetings shall be held in
rotation at the offices of IBM and StorageTek.
If the matter has not been resolved within fifteen (15) days
of the first meeting of the Senior Executives (which period
may be extended by mutual agreement), the Parties will attempt
in good faith to resolve the controversy or claim in
accordance with the following mediation process. During the
course of negotiations between the representatives, all
reasonable requests made by one party to the other for
nonprivileged information will be honored in order that each
of the parties may be fully informed of the circumstances
relevant to the dispute.
22.2 MEDIATION PROCESS
If the escalation process fails to resolve a dispute in
connection with this Agreement, any such dispute shall be
submitted to expedited mediation prior to the commencement of
any litigation with respect to such dispute. In the event
either party intends to seek recourse against the other by an
action at law or in equity, such party shall first give notice
to the other party. Within ten (10) business days of such
notice, the Parties shall attempt to agree on one mediator who
shall be a person mutually agreeable to both Parties and who
shall be experienced in the DASD industry. In the event the
Parties cannot agree on one mediator, each shall have the
right to appoint one mediator, and the two mediators shall
appoint a third. Mediation shall commence within twenty (20)
business days of the notice of request for mediation. Each
party agrees to cooperate fully with the mediator(s) in an
attempt to resolve any disputes. The mediator(s) shall use the
rules of the American Arbitration Association in conducting
the mediation. Any decision reached through mediation shall be
in writing but shall not be legally binding upon the Parties
nor admissible as evidence in any legal proceedings. If the
Parties cannot resolve their differences to their mutual
satisfaction within thirty (30) business days of the request
for mediation, either Party shall be free to pursue any and
all other remedies available to such Party, including, but not
limited to, litigation. Costs of the Mediator shall be born
equally by the Parties.
23. TERMINATION/REMEDIES
23.1 TERMINATION BY MUTUAL CONSENT
This Agreement shall be subject to termination prior to the
expiration of the term at any time by mutual consent of the
parties, evidenced by a written agreement providing for
termination.
46
53
23.2 TERMINATION BY BANKRUPTCY
This Agreement may be immediately terminated by either Party
if any of the following events ("Triggering Events") occur:
(1) the other Party files a voluntary petition under any
provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any similar
insolvency law, makes an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, (2) any involuntary petition in bankruptcy under
any provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any similar
insolvency law is filed against such other Party, or (3) a
receiver is appointed for, or a levy or attachment is made
against all or substantially all of its assets, and such
involuntary petition is not dismissed or such receiver or levy
or attachment is not discharged within sixty (60) days after
the filing, appointment or making thereof.
To the extent that applicable bankruptcy law does not permit
the exercise of rights under the immediately preceding
paragraph, the bankrupt party agrees that adequate assurance
of performance by the bankrupt party of the balance of this
Agreement as a "Debtor-in-possession" or any similar entity
under successor bankruptcy laws will include assurances both
of such entity's ability to adequately produce products for
the specifically permitted Agreement and such entity's
willingness and ability to protect the other party's
proprietary rights. As a personal contract, exercise of rights
by a trustee or assignment of rights hereunder would not be
appropriate and such understanding is an essential part of
each Party's willingness to enter into this Agreement.
23.3 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
a. If either Party is in material breach of this
Agreement, the other Party may give written notice to
the defaulting Party specifying the respects in which
the defaulting Party has failed to perform or comply

remedied by the defaulting Party within sixty (60)
days (ten (10) days as to a failure to pay any
amounts indisputably due) unless a different period
is provided for elsewhere in this Agreement after
such notice, the party not in default may, by written
notice to the defaulting Party, terminate this
Agreement.
b. Either Party may submit disputes related to the
notice of termination to the Escalation Process or
Mediation Process described in Section 22 but such
termination notice shall not be stayed by submission
to escalation or mediation and termination shall take
effect as set forth above. Failure of either Party to
terminate this Agreement due to a breach on the part
of the other Party shall not prejudice its rights to
terminate for a subsequent breach on the part of the
defaulting Party.
47
54
c. The right of a Party to terminate this Agreement, and
the exercise of such right by such Party, shall be in
addition to any other remedies or rights granted in
this Agreement or which a Party would have in law or
equity.

however, that, if StorageTek elects to
maintain or effectuate, whichever the case
may be, the StorageTek [**] Licenses set
forth in Section [**], and in Section [**]
of the Description of Licensed Works [**],
then StorageTek must [**] and also [**] as
set forth in the Description of Licensed
Works for such license, except that [**]
shall be [**] for each [**] following the
date of StorageTek's receipt of IBM's
written notice of termination, and except
that, once StorageTek has [**] pursuant to
this section [**] then such license shall
immediately become [**], and provided
further, that any [**] by StorageTek to IBM
under this section shall be [**] for
products other than as covered in Sections
[**] of the [**], and shall have no effect
on the [**] to be [**] pursuant to Section
[**]; and
(4) Despite such termination, IBM shall have the
[**] for any and all Specified Functions in
process under the ▇▇▇, and if IBM [**],
StorageTek will continue to develop
Specified Functions [**] as specified in the

will have [**] above), provided, however,
that if IBM [**] for any Specified Function
of the Deliverables [**], and StorageTek
[**] completes development of such Specified
Function, then such [**] Specified Function
to the extent [**] will be deemed a [**] and
not [**].
e. If StorageTek terminates this Agreement for cause:
(1) IBM will pay to StorageTek any amounts that
become due under the ▇▇▇ during the ninety
(90) day period following the date on which
StorageTek provides notice of termination to
IBM;
(2) The StorageTek Material Use Licenses set

Section [**] for any StorageTek product
which includes any, all or some of the
Deliverables, StorageTek will provide IBM
with such Product Engineering Services (with
respect to the same portions of the
Deliverables) at [**].
23.4 MATERIAL BREACH
A material breach shall include, but not be limited to, a
material failure to:

(2) StorageTek will track the status of each PTR; and
(3) the tracking system will specify the status as:
"Opened" - a problem has been discovered and
entered into the PTR tracking system;
"Received" - the programmer or engineer
responsible for the code is working on the
PTR;
"Answered" - the programmer or engineer has
fixed and tested the problem; or
"Closed" - the test has been rerun, to verify
that the problem has been corrected and has
not caused any new problems.

requirements to StorageTek, which StorageTek will review and
provide [**] therefor. In addition, StorageTek may also
propose alternative descriptions of such new product
requirements (as well as other new product requirements),
together with [**].
If StorageTek can commit to such new product requirements
without adversely affecting, to a material extent, the
Deliverables already planned, StorageTek shall propose an
ESP/volume shipment plan to be reviewed and negotiated in good
faith by the parties. If StorageTek cannot include the
requested new product requirement within the then-current
commitments, IBM may provide a prioritization and the parties
will negotiate in good faith amended commitments for all or
any affected Deliverables.

STAGE CRITERIA.
Specified Function, ESP and Acceptance Criteria are as follows:
A. ESP Checkpoint. For each Specified Function, other than for the Base
Iceberg Package, StorageTek shall recommend to IBM when each SF is
ready for IBM to conduct an Early Support Program ("ESP"), typically
with a minimum of [**] StorageTek; IBM shall have the right to have up
to [**] be IBM internal customer sites or test installations. Machines
supplied to IBM installations shall be supplied at no charge to IBM
during the ESP test period.
Prior to the ESP start date, an ESP ready review shall be conducted
jointly by the parties; during this review StorageTek will present the
status of the testing that it has completed for the Specified Function,
with an accompanying written report. StorageTek's report will include a
summary of all problems that have been encountered and resolved,
details on all unresolved problems and proposed action plans for their
resolution and status of meeting the agreed to exit criteria for the
function test of this Specified Function.
StorageTek will present its recommendation as to whether to implement
the plan for ESP shipments. If StorageTek has recommended proceeding,
IBM will have [**] working days to conclude whether the SF had met the
criteria in the functional test plan for ESP initiation. IBM will not
unreasonably withhold its agreement that the particular Specified
Function is ready for the ESP.
If StorageTek disagrees with IBM's conclusion, StorageTek may appeal by
means of the Dispute Resolution Process.
For each Specified Function, StorageTek's obligation to be ready to
initiate an ESP at the designated date shall be met upon its delivery
of such Specified Function that is in accordance with the specification
documents for it as listed below:
8
115
o functional specification, as updated in accordance with design
change procedures
o customer documentation readiness
o Functional Test Plan Completion Criteria
o performance measurement results against requirements, substantial
compliance required
B. Volume Shipment Checkpoint. Prior to the volume shipment date, a volume
shipment readiness review shall be conducted jointly by the parties;
during this review StorageTek will present the status of the testing
that it has completed for the Specified Function, with an accompanying
written report. StorageTek's report will include a summary of all
problems that have been encountered and resolved, details on all
unresolved problems and proposed action plans for their resolution and
status of meeting the agreed exit criteria for the ESP test of this
Specified Function ("SF").
StorageTek will present its recommendation as to whether to commence
volume shipments. If StorageTek recommends proceedings with volume
shipments, IBM will have [**] working days to conclude whether the SF
had met the criteria in the ESP test plan for volume shipments.
If StorageTek disagrees with IBM's conclusion, StorageTek may appeal by
means of the Dispute Resolution Process (as that process is defined in
Section 21 of the OEM Agreement).
For each Specified Function, StorageTek's obligation to justify volume
shipments at the designated date shall be met upon its delivery of such
Specified Function that is in accordance with the specification
documents for such Specified Function as listed below:
o functional specification, as updated in accordance with design
change procedures
o customer documentation readiness for volume shipments
o ESP Test Plan Exit Criteria
o performance measurement results against commitment curves,
complete compliance required
o level 1 and level 2 support training completed

delivered SF. Any variation from the performance commitments specified
in Appendix A for the identified "Committed In Plans" Items must be
approved in writing by the Contract Coordinators for the respective
parties, with specific reference being made in the approval to such
approval relating to varying the otherwise applicable performance
commitments.
D. Volume Shipment Compliance. StorageTek shall have met its volume
shipment date if it meets its obligation to justify volume shipments by
the Volume Date specified in Section 6.1 above.
IBM will provide written notification to StorageTek of any failure of
the SF to meet the applicable criteria which notice shall identify the
basis for any such IBM conclusion. IBM shall have the right to verify
compliance to test criteria by independently running tests, and
StorageTek shall have the opportunity to witness any such testing.
If StorageTek fails to deliver the Specified Function by the Volume
date, in accordance with this Volume Shipment Compliance process, then
the consequences shall be as specified in Section E below.
E. Adjustment for Failure to Meet Volume Date.
(1) If StorageTek fails to meet the Volume date for any [**] that
is associated with [**] and scheduled to be delivered prior to
[**] , then an amount equal to [**] for each [**] of delay,
[**], as stated below, for each failure relating to a [**]
associated with [**] shall be added to [**] and [**] purchases
and any [**] obtained under the Agreement during [**] to
determine the price of future units of [**] to be acquired
during [**].
However, if the calculation in the preceding paragraph
results in a combined volume of [**] and [**] purchases and
any credits obtained under the Agreement that is [**] for
each [**] of delay, [**], as stated below, for each such
failure.
If the Parties agree on a [**] for [**] purchases, then the
above calculations will be applied to provide IBM with
purchase credits against the [**] for any [**] that is
associated with [**] and scheduled to be delivered during
[**]. If no such [**], then if StorageTek fails to meet the
Volume date for any [**] that is associated with [**] and
scheduled to be delivered during
10
117
[**], then IBM shall receive a [**] to be used against its
[**] that is equal to [**], as stated below, for each such
failure.
If StorageTek fails to meet the Volume date for any
[**] that is associated with [**] , then IBM shall receive a
[**] to be used against IBM's [**] that is equal to [**], as
stated below, for each such failure.
The following is a summary of factors to be used for a
failure to meet the Volume Date for a [**]:
*[**] for [**] ADJUSTMENT;
*[**] for [**] ADJUSTMENT; and
*[**] for [**] ADJUSTMENT.
(2) If a SF is delivered at any time later than 15 days after Volume date
specified for such SF, then it shall be considered to be delayed by a
full month. If multiple functions fail to be shipped in accordance with
the designated Volume shipment dates, then the highest applicable
ADJUSTMENT factor shall apply.

Summary reports of test progress and problem status shall be updated and sent
to Monterey on a regular basis from this time until ESP on a schedule to be
agreed upon by Oahu and Monterey.
MONTEREY SYSTEM TEST (MST)
For each SF or group of SFs considered by Monterey to be available to the
customer as part of a single announce package with a single availability date,
Monterey shall have the right to waive execution of an MST, participate in a
joint MST with Oahu, or conduct an MST at either an Oahu or Monterey test site
location or locations, the location(s) and expected duration of such testing to
be reasonably determined by Monterey. As the duration of a test is dependent
on, among other things, the complexity of the SF(s), the number of problems
found, the problem fix rate, and the amount of resources applied to the
testing, the expected duration should not be seen as a commitment by Monterey.
It is expected that should an MST be required by Monterey, the test would run a
minimum of 3 weeks at a level of resource applied to the test as mentioned
below.
A typical MST conducted by Monterey would consist of [**], often conducted in
parallel and each utilizing approximately half the allocated test UUTs (Units
Under Test), tools and on-site support personnel.
The Monterey FVT (Functional Verification Test) would execute test scenarios,
the majority of which are run against a multi-host high stress background
(known as "(FVT) vanilla stress") driven by internally developed Monterey test
drivers. Monterey FVT tests include, but are not limited to, the following
subtests:
120
attachment, stress, functional/algorithm, power, error injection (interface
(both internal and external), logic, drive, media), and channel sequence
controls.
The Monterey SLT (System Level Test) would execute test scenarios, the
majority of which are run against a [**] under the MVS operating system [**]
using both externally available applications, access methods and utilities as
well as internally developed jobstreams. Monterey SLT tests include, but are
not limited to, the following subtests:
[**]
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR MST
Receipt of all test resources as described below with adequate time to
install and configure test UUTs
Available schedule windows, CPUs, personnel and other [**] resources to
conduct the MST
No staging of the [**] considered to be part of the [**] to be tested in the
current MST [**] of contiguous [**] stress runs in both the Monterey FVT and
SLT environments
Documentation as described above
[**]
MST REQUIRED RESOURCES
FAST, FASTER, and QUICK machines supplied to MST test locations will be
supplied at [**] to Monterey. These machines will be at hardware, microcode
(including functional, service, et al.), and supporting software levels
approved by Monterey. For a [**], there are usually [**] divided between FVT
and SLT.
On-site support by Oahu personnel will be supplied to Monterey for any MST.
These personnel will be supplied in a quantity and at a skill level mutually
agreed upon by Oahu and Monterey at [**] to Monterey. Monterey will request at
least [**] personnel, [**] testing and [**] training/testing, UUTEC
(Engineering Change) maintenance, and general support including failure data
collection. This does not include any development resource which might be
required for UUT debug or fix testing.
Tools required by Oahu for its own testing of the products (including but no
limited to debug, support, and error injection) will be supplied at a quantity
and level mutually agreed to by Oahu and Monterey for any MST at [**] to
Monterey.
EXIT CRITERIA FOR MST
All MST test variations attempted with [**] successful as determined by
Monterey
All [**] resolved with a mutually agreeable action plan for the resolution of
the remainder of the problems
Resolution of all problems considered by Monterey to be ESP gates with
adequate time to verify the fixes to such problems and ensure no unexpected
side effects of such fixes
Signoff by the Monterey test group that all claims have been met
2
121
SF(s) meets [**] and other Monterey quality criteria
ENTRY CRITERIA FOR ESP
Successful exit of MST or successful Monterey pre-ESP certification of Oahu
testing or the non-default waiving of both of the prior criteria if Monterey
determines that is appropriate
Monterey agrees that all [**] found in any SF test effort by either Oahu or
Monterey do not constitute ESP gates
Monterey agrees that all testing efforts by either Oahu or Monterey (other
than ESP) have been successfully concluded and that [**] met
Appropriate support structures exist to deal in a timely manner with any
field problems which may be found
SF(s) meets Monterey quality criteria for general availability

PART I. DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms in the SCCA have the following meanings. The DEW may define
additional terms.
1.1 CODE is computer programming code including both Object Code and Source
Code.
a) OBJECT CODE is the computer programming code substantially in binary
form. It is directly executable by a computer after processing, but
without compilation or assembly.
b) SOURCE CODE is the computer programming code that may be displayed
in a form readable and understandable by a programmer of ordinary
skill. It includes related source code level system documentation,
comments and procedural code, such as job control language. Source Code
does not include Object Code.
1.2 DERIVATIVE WORK is a work that is based on an underlying work and that would
be a copyright infringement if prepared without the authorization of the
copyright owners of the underlying work.
Derivative Works are subject to the ownership rights and licenses of others in
the underlying work.
1.3 ESCROWED WORKS are the materials that are described in the DEW. They
include:
a) the Source Code in machine-readable form and the source code level
system documentation in hard copy form (for Licensed Works, inclusion
of adequate printing instructions in lieu of hard copy is sufficient);
b) a list of all Source Code modules of the Licensed Work;
c) a directory listing for each machine-readable medium;
d) commentary required to understand and use the Source Code;
e) a list of all Tools;
f) the noncommercially available Tools that Developer is required to
escrow under the License Agreement;
g) the code for initial performance benchmarks that IBM is required
to escrow under the License Agreement;
1.4 LICENSE AGREEMENT is the IBM Developer Agreement in which StorageTek
licenses IBM to its Licensed Works and IBM licenses the initial performance
benchmarks.
3
139
1.5 LICENSED WORKS are those deliverables that StorageTek licenses to IBM under
the License Agreement.
1.6 RELEASE EVENTS are the following occurrences when either IBM or StorageTek
may demand that Custodian deliver a copy of the Escrowed Works to the requesting
party:
a) Either IBM or StorageTek may request Custodian to provide a
copy to the requesting party at any time, but Custodian must
retain the original deposited materials. Custodian is
authorized and shall deliver a copy of the Escrowed Works to
the requesting party.
1.7 Tools include devices, compilers, hardware, software, user and programming
documentation, media or other items required for the development, testing,
maintenance or implementation of a Licensed Work.
PART 2. ESCROWED WORKS DEPOSITS
2.1 StorageTek and IBM will:
a) deposit with Custodian two copies of their respective
Escrowed Works as described in the DEW attached hereto.
StorageTek and IBM will identify each item in the deposit by
labeling it;
b) deliver the Escrowed Works in good condition in sealed
containers;
c) provide Custodian with a notice that shall not be
confidential (hereafter "nonconfidential notice") of all
items contained in each container;
d) replace all lost or damaged Escrowed Works promptly upon
notice from Custodian; and
e) if either party determines that the Escrowed Works are not
complete and accurate, the depositing party shall promptly
rectify the same.
2.2 Custodian will:
a) accept each Escrow Works deposit to be held for the
non-Custodian parties and send the non-delivering party a
notice confirming receipt within ten business days;
b) retain the Escrow Works;
c) match all items on the nonconfidential notice to the labels
on Escrowed Works;
d) take all reasonable steps to protect and store Escrowed
Works in appropriate containers
4
140
and atmospheric conditions, segregated from other materials;
e) promptly provide notice to IBM and StorageTek in the event
of lost or damaged Escrowed Works; and
f) store a copy of this SCCA and the nonconfidential notice
of items with Escrowed Works.
PART 3. ESCROWED WORKS VERIFICATION
3.1 Unless the requesting party and Custodian agree in writing, Custodian is not
responsible for technical verification that Escrowed Works are complete,
accurate and current. Each non-Custodian party may, at its expense, hire a party
qualified to do this verification. StorageTek will reimburse IBM's expenses if
the Escrowed Works do not comply with the requirements of this SCCA, and
mutatis mutandis with respect to StorageTek's expenses.
3.2 Verification includes generating Object Code from Source Code for each
Licensed Work. The verifier will witness the transfer of the verified Source
Code to deposited media. The depositing party will supervise the verification
which will be conducted at the depositing company's facilities unless the other
non-Custodian party advises otherwise.
3.3 One technical employee of the non-depositing, non-Custodian party may
witness verification. To the extent possible, verification will be done in a
way that does not expose the Source Code to this employee. If this is not
possible, this employee will treat the Source Code according to the
IBM/StorageTek Agreement for Exchange of Confidential Information, number
OEM-9447.
PART 4. RELEASE OF ESCROWED WORKS
4.1 Either IBM or StorageTek may demand delivery of Escrowed Works by notice to
Custodian pursuant to Section 1.6, copying the other non-Custodian party.
4.2 If either non-Custodian party determines that it does not have a complete
set of Escrowed Works, it may request them from the other party. The other
party will provide the materials required within three days of requesting
party's request.
4.3 Each non-Custodian party will treat Escrowed Works according to the
IBM/StorageTek Agreement for Exchange of Confidential Information.
PART 5. LICENSE TO ESCROWED WORKS
5.1 The license to Escrowed Works is governed by the ▇▇▇.
5
141
PART 6. WARRANTY
Each depositing party represents and warrants that it has the authority to
deliver the Escrowed Works to the Custodian and that the Escrowed Works (other
than the Licensed Works being escrowed) are complete and accurate.
PART 7. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Custodian will take all reasonable precautions to prevent disclosure of
Escrowed Works to unauthorized third parties.
7.2 Custodian is liable only for its willful misconduct, gross negligence and
fraud in performing its duties under this SCCA. Custodian is not liable if
StorageTek or IBM fails to comply with any provision of the License Agreement or
this SCCA. Custodian is not liable for acting on any notice that it in good
faith believes to be genuine and legitimate.
7.3 If a third party makes a claim against Custodian:
a) StorageTek will defend and indemnify Custodian for any and
all claims, actions, damages, arbitration fees and expenses,
costs, attorneys' fees and other liabilities incurred by
Custodian on behalf of and pursuant to StorageTek's
instructions; and
b) IBM will defend and indemnify Custodian for any and all
claims, actions, damages, arbitration fees and expenses,
costs, attorneys' fees and other liabilities incurred by
Custodian on behalf of and pursuant to IBM's instructions.
These indemnities do no apply where it is found that Custodian acted with
willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.
7.4 The indemnifying party will pay any settlement amount that it authorizes and
all costs, damages and attorney's fees that a court finally awards if Custodian:
a) promptly provides the indemnifying party notice of the
claim; and
b) allows the indemnifying party to control and cooperates
with it in the defense of the claim and settlement
negotiations.
Custodian may participate in (but not control) the proceedings at its option and
expense.

mutual written agreement of the parties or for non-payment of Custodian fees.
Either non-Custodian party may, at
6
142
its option, extend the term of the DEW for additional years as described in
Payment. Custodian may terminate this Agreement if invoice fees aren't paid in
accordance with Part 10.
8.2 Custodian will destroy any remaining Escrowed Works 30 days after the
expiration or termination of the DEW unless IBM or StorageTek provides notice,
otherwise with respect to their Escrowed Works.
8.3 The provisions of Liability and Indemnification will survive the expiration
or termination of this SCCA. These terms will apply to the parties respective
successors and assigns.

9.2 Each of us will assign an Escrowed Work Coordinator in the DEW. These
coordinators are responsible to administer matters associated with the DEW. The
SCCA Coordinator and the Escrowed Work Coordinator may be the same person. A
party will provide notice to the others when coordinators change.
PART 10. PAYMENT
10.1 Each non-Custodian party will pay Custodian within 30 days after receipt
of an acceptable invoice for one-half of the fee for services under the DEW.
All payments will be made in U.S. dollars. The Exhibit: Fee Schedule identifies
the specified period of Custodian's services and the firm fees for that period.
Custodian may propose a revised fee schedule to the SCCA Coordinators no later
than 90 days before the end of the specified period. The SCCA Coordinators will
notify Custodian if they accept or reject the proposed fee schedule. If IBM and
StorageTek choose not to pay the new fees, the SCCA will expire at the end of
its term and IBM and StorageTek in good faith will select a successor custodian.
Subject to 8.2, Custodian will provide all assistance required to move the
Escrowed Works to the successor custodian.
10.2 Custodian will invoice each non-Custodian party for:
a) one-half of the fee for all services to be performed under a DEW
for one year; and
b) renewal of a DEW at least 60 days before it expires. Each non-
Custodian party may renew the DEW for an additional year by paying
the renewal fees. If Custodian does not receive the renewal fees
within 30 days, it will notify the IBM Escrowed Work Coordinator
and the StorageTek Escrowed Works Coordinator. Any party to this
Agreement shall have the right to make payment to the Custodian to
cure the default.
If neither IBM nor StorageTek pay the fees by the expiration date of the DEW,
the Custodian shall thereupon notify the IBM Escrowed Works Coordinator and the
StorageTek Escrowed Works Coordinator in writing that the Parties have thirty
days from the date of the notice to cure such failure to pay, and the Custodian
shall continue to maintain the escrow for that period.
In addition to information required by the DEW, the invoice will identify this
SCCA, the DEW and the services invoiced plus their associated fees. Custodian
will submit all invoices as identified in the DEW.
Each non-Custodian party is liable for one-half of the fee for services through
the [**] year; after that, either party may elect not to pay or to contribute
to the fee (in which case continuance of the SCCA is dependent upon the other
party's actions entirely).
PART 11. GENERAL
11.1 Each party will comply with all applicable laws and regulations at its
expense. This includes
8
144
all export and import laws and regulations.
11.2 Except as provided in the SCCA, none of the parties may assign or transfer
the SCCA or its rights under it or delegate or subcontract its obligations
without the prior written approval of the other parties. Any attempt to do so
is void.
11.3 No party will bring a legal action against another party more than two
years after the cause of action arose. All parties will act in good faith to
resolve disputes. All parties waive their rights to a jury trial in any
resulting litigation. Litigation will only be commenced in the State of
New York.
11.4 All notices must be in writing. Except as provided in the SCCA, for a
change to the SCCA to be valid, IBM, StorageTek and Custodian must sign it.
Other than changes to the Release Events, Custodian must also sign changes that
affect its rights or obligations under the SCCA. IBM will provide Custodian with
copies of all changes that Custodian is not required to sign.
No approval, consent or waiver will be enforceable unless signed by the
granting party.
11.5 The substantive laws of the State of New York govern the SCCA.

STATEMENT OF WORK (ATTACHMENT 1)
APPENDIX F
================================================================================
OVERVIEW
The following document describes the methodology to be used in the
performance evaluation of the STK's ICEBERG and KODIAK DASD I/O
Subsystems.
The performance workload suite has the following attributes:
1. - [**]
2. - [**]
3. - [**]
4. - [**]
5. - [**]
6. - [**]
The following is a summary of the workloads included in the subsystem workload
suite.
1. Random stress test. A set of random access experiments, called
a four-corners test, evaluates performance of [**] conditions,
such as [**] or [**], with either [**] operations, or [**]
writes.
2. Sequential stress tests. A set of sequential experiments are
included that stress the [**] of the subsystem. These tests
include both [**] read and write streams, running between [**]
[**].
3. Data base workload. A data base workload is included that
tests a wide variation in [**]. This workload uses [**], and
has been designed to [**] the type of random access behavior
seen in the [**] data.
4. Batch workload. A batch workload is included that [**] the
[**] seen in customer batch workloads. This workload contains
a mixture of [**] activity.
5. Sort workload. A workload is included that is [**] jobs.
149
6. Utility workload. A utility workload is included that contains
the type of "data mover" applications that might be seen in
many [**].
RANDOM STRESS TEST
The purpose of these experiments is to test variations of read and
write content with high and low reference locality.
Key workload characteristics
1. The workload consists of [**] tests:
- [**]
- [**]
- [**]
- [**]
2. Several measurement points are run for each case. First, a
[**] point is taken at approximately [**] to measure [**]
times. An additional [**] points are taken, ranging from
around [**] to [**] for [**], and from around [**] to maximum
[**] rate for [**].
3. [**] rates are controlled by selecting various [**]. The
maximum rates are tested by establishing a [**].
4. [**] volumes are standardly used, a sufficient number to allow
[**] of [**] subsystems.
5. Access are uniformly distributed across all of the [**]
volumes. [**] are generated by a set of [**].
6. The [**] tests use [**], and the [**] use a [**].
7. The [**] metrics for this [**] are:

KEY WORKLOAD CHARACTERISTICS
1. The experiments are run with [**] to ensure that the [**] to
the device is being [**] by [**]. Each data set is
approximately [**].
2. Experiments are run with [**] number of [**], varying from
[**] to [**] for both [**].
3. The [**] tests transfer roughly [**]. The [**] tests transfer
[**] [**].
4. The [**] tests do not use the [**] in the [**], thereby
testing the [**] capability of the subsystem.
5. The [**] metric for this workload is the [**] rate in [**] per
second.

VSAM DATA BASE WORKLOAD
This test includes a general [**] data base workload. This workload
[**] the [**] characteristics of a variety of [**] systems, and is
implemented as an application program using [**] . This program has the
ability to generate a variety of [**]. Unlike some benchmarks of this
type, it is not tuned to [**], but rather is [**], and matches the [**]
of characteristic data base environments. In this way, it is a
reasonable test of the effects of [**] or the efficiency of [**], with
[**] characteristics similar to [**], and some characteristics of [**]
and [**] data base systems.
KEY WORKLOAD CHARACTERISTICS
1. The workload is run with [**], listed in order of "cache
friendliness".
a. [**]
3
151
b. [**]
c. [**]
d. [**]
In general, the less cache friendly workloads have [**], and [**].
2. With the exception of the [**] workload, these workloads are
run at [**] measurement points, with each measurement point
representing a [**] [**] in variable user population. This
means that [**] are added at higher loads, with each [**]
having a [**]. (Some workloads, including the [**] variation,
[**] user population that [**] at [**] measurement points.) As
a result, as the user population grows at the [**] measurement
points, [**] effects are generally observed for a subsystem at
a specific cache size.
[**]
[**]
[**]
The [**] measurement point generates an average of [**] per
[**] volume in the workload, attempting to drive the workload
to [**] and [**] per volume at the [**] measurement points.
However, since the [**] times are fixed, as response times
increase at the [**], the actual subsystem throughputs [**]
these targets.
3. Each measurement point is run for approximately [**]. The data
bases are [**] (to realistically deal with [**] sizes), and
the [**] run duration is generally not long enough for [**]
design to stabilize into record caching. This is due to the
[**] unique to the [**]. As a result, some of the measurements
of the [**] variation may be pessimistic for the [**].
4. The workload can be configured using multiples of [**]
volumes. The current setup uses [**] volumes, but can be
easily expanded beyond that number. It should be noted than
although most [**] are configured with more than [**] volumes,
at any given time most of those volumes have very little
activity, and most of the data is inactive. In that sense, a
[**] volume experiment with these workloads represents the
performance characteristics of a larger customer
configuration.
5. Except for the [**] variation, [**] are skewed across [**]
volumes. For example, at the [**] measurement point for a set
of [**] volumes, [**] volumes attempt an [**] of approximately
[**] volumes attempt approximately [**] that rate, and [**]
volume attempts approximately [**] that rate.
6. In the cache standard variation, a few volumes have [**]
characteristics, while the rest of the volumes have [**]. In
the other workload variations, all of the [**]
4
152
volumes have [**] characteristics. The standard cache
workload contains [**] volumes that have [**] characteristics.
7. A [**] variation is included to [**] throughput capabilities
of the subsystem. [**] measurement points are run, from
approximately [**] sec per volume at the [**] rate, to a [**]
rate. This workload uses a [**] user population, reducing the
[**] as load increases, to a [**] at the [**] measurement
point. For this workload, [**] tend to remain constant across
the measurement points.
8. The workload uses [**] sizes for all variations.
9. The [**] friendly variations have [**] write content. All
writes are [**] writes, meaning that the record is [**], and
therefore [**] a hit in cache.
10. Each [**] volume in the workload has [**] data set. Each [**]
data set is approximately [**] in size.
-- Table 2 shows some of the key workload characteristics for the
random access tests and the [**] workload. The caching attributes shown
are those measured on a [**] configuration.

BATCH WORKLOAD
The purpose of the batch workload is to create a test which is
representative of customer's [**] batch window [**] characteristics.
The following are the basic workload attributes:
KEY WORKLOAD CHARACTERISTICS
1. Contains a mixture of type of [**] /O activity
[**]
[**]
[**]
[**]
2. The average transfer size is [**] if [**] programs excluded).
The [**] applications transfer either [**] or [**] per [**],
and the [**] applications transfer approximately [**] per
[**].
3. [**]
6
154
4. The primary metrics for the workload are [**] and [**] rates
and [**] times.
WORKLOAD IMPLEMENTATION
1. Contains [**] jobs, each with [**] job steps. The following is
the mixture of [**] by the job steps:
- [**] reads of data sets with either [**] or [**] block
sizes.
- A sequential application [**] that copies data sets with
either [**] or [**] block sizes.
- A [**] application that updates [**] of the records.
- A [**] application. This is in fact the [**] [**] variation
of the data base workload.
- A [**] application.
2. Each job is [**] except for the [**] of the steps. This is
done to allow jobs to finish at roughly the same time, but
creates a mixture of activity at each point in time.
3. Each job has [**] data sets. Except for the data base data
sets, data sets are [**] distributed across [**]. Each of the
[**] data base data sets are distributed across each of the
[**].
SORT WORKLOAD
WORKLOAD CHARACTERISTICS
1. A [**] application is included in the workload. The key
attributes +of the workload are:
- The [**]
- [**]
2. [**] sorting is [**], that is [**] sorting options are used.
This is to ensure that this is truly a DASD benchmark, and
that [**] differences are not a significant factor in the sort
elapsed times.
3. A [**] size of [**] is sued to ensure [**] writes for the sort
work data sets.
4. The [**] attributes for [**] are [**], and [**]

UTILITIES WORKLOAD
A collection of [**] are included in the test. Customers often focus on
these types of applications when conducting [**] benchmarks. The
purpose of these tests are to [**] the various "data mover" type of
utilities. The following are included in this test suite:
1. [**] Physical dump.
- A series of physical dumps are performed, using [**]
and [**] dump operations.
- A [**] has been provided which causes the output to
be [**], thereby eliminating [**] as a bottleneck.
- The volumes dumped are [**] approximately [**] full.
The volumes contain [**] data sets. They are in fact
[**] volumes used for the batch and data base
workloads.
- [**] is used.
2. [**] Physical restore.
- A series of physical restores are performed, using
[**] [**] restore operations. The volumes restored
are the same as the batch and data [**] volumes.
3. [**]
- A series of [**] jobs are executed.
- The data sets used are the [**] as for the [**]
stress tests, [**], with [**].
4. IEBCOPY
- A series of [**] jobs are executed.
- The data sets consist of copies of a source library

IBM AGREEMENT FOR LICENSED INTERNAL CODE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You accept the terms of this Agreement by your initial use of a machine that
contains IBM Licensed Internal Code (called "Code").
These terms apply to Code used by certain machines IBM or your reseller
specifies (called "Specific Machines"). International Business Machines
Corporation or one of its subsidiaries ("IBM") owns copyrights in Code or has
the right to license Code. IBM or a third party owns all copies of Code,
including all copies made from them.
If you are the rightful possessor of a Specific Machine, IBM grants you a
license to use the Code (or any replacement IBM provides) on, or in conjunction
with, only the Specific Machine for which the Code is provided. IBM licenses
the Code only one rightful possessor at a time.
Under each license, IBM authorizes you to do only the following:
1. execute the Code to enable the Specific Machine to function according
to its Official Published Specifications (called "Specifications");
2. make a backup or archival copy of tile Code (unless IBM makes one
available for your use), provided you reproduce the copyright notice
and any other legend of ownership on the copy. You may use the copy
only to replace the original. when necessary; and
3. execute and display the Code as necessary to maintain the Specific
Machine.
You agree to acquire any replacement for, or additional copy of, Code directly
from IBM in accordance with IBM's standard policies and practices. You also
agree to use that Code under these terms.
You may transfer possession of the Code to another partly only with the
transfer of the Specific Machine. If you do so, you must 1) destroy all your
copies of the Code that were not provided by IBM, 2) either give the other
party all your IBM-provided copies of the Code or destroy them, and 3) notify
the other party of these terms. IBM licenses the other party when it accepts
these terms. These terms apply to all Code you acquire from any source.
Your license terminates when you no longer rightfully possess the Specific
Machine.
ACTIONS YOU MAY NOT TAKE
You agree to use the Code only as authorized above. You may not do, for
example, any of the following:
2
169
1. otherwise copy, display, transfer, adapt, modify, or distribute the
Code (electronically or otherwise), except as IBM may authorize in the
Specific Machine's Specifications or in writing to you;
2. reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Code
unless expressly permitted by applicable law without the possibility
of contractual waiver:
3. sublicense or assign the license for the Code; or
4. lease the Code or any copy of it.

SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR MATERIAL HANDLING AND CONTROL
OF IBM CONSIGNED MATERIAL
1. INTRODUCTION
As an IBM Supplier, you arc responsible for IBM's inventory while in
your possession. This agreement has been prepared for handling and control of
IBM consigned material. Most questions that could arise involving consignment
are addressed to aid the supplier. IBM may request space and facilities for an
on site consignment representative to assist.
If questions should arise that have not been explained fully by this
document, please contact Consignment Inventory Control (CIC), Department 617.
2. IBM SHIPMENT OF CONSIGNED MATERIAL TO SUPPLIER
a. Material will be shipped to supplier prepaid unless a
different arrangement has been agreed to in advance.
b. Partial shipment of Consigned material may be made when:
1) The entire quantity is not readily available from IBM
stock (an IBM backorder is automatically created when this situation occurs).
2) If the size or quantity of a given item would cause
storage difficulties, the supplier may notify the IBM buyer and the buyer will
arrange with CIC for partial shipments to be made. The notification must be
made on a timely basis, preferably when the order is placed.
3. RECEIPT AND INSPECTION OF CONSIGNMENT BY SUPPLIER
a. All shipments of consigned material by IBM to the supplier
will be accompanied by two copies of an IBM packing list (see Exhibits A, 13,
and C).
b. Immediately upon receipt, supplier is responsible for checking
all cartons for any sign of visible damage and noting such damage on the
consignee memo/▇▇▇▇ of lading or delivery receipt. Also, note any shortages or
overages of containers, boxes, pallets, etc., if not as already noted on the
freight ▇▇▇▇.
c. Visual external damage - Parts that are received by supplier
in packaging that exhibit external damage must be rejected and held until
disposition is made. Supplier must note damage on the delivery receipt and
have the driver sign that exception is taken. Immediately call the carrier for
a formal inspection of the damage. Carrier should make inspection within five
(5) working days. If the carrier does not respond within the five (5) days,
supplier must notify the IBM Buyer.
187
In the event the carrier elects not to make in inspection. the carrier
must provide the supplier with letter stating that inspection has been waived.
The letter should include the necessary information to identify the damaged
shipment. The inspection report or letter of waiver and a copy of the delivery
receipt must be sent to the appropriate IBM Buyer who will notify the IBM
Traffic Department.
Please Note: Should the part be identified as "CFM", supplier must
notify the IBM Buyer and Traffic Department immediately upon receipt. The
Traffic Department will instruct the carrier to make an expedited 24 hour
disposition.
d. All packing material must be available for the carrier's
inspection.
e. Hidden/concealed damage - Parts that are received with
external packaging intact, but parts inside damaged, must be rejected. If
damage is discovered within ten (10) days of receipt, the carrier must be
notified to make a formal inspection report and a copy of the ▇▇▇▇ of lading or
delivery receipt and carrier's damage inspection report must be forwarded to
the appropriate IBM Buyer, who in turn will notify the Traffic Department. IBM
Material Review must be notified in order to set up the necessary documentation
for the return of the defective parts.
f. Verification of Count - Hand and scale counts must be made on
all receipts of consigned material, rework material, or material purchased from
IBM. A copy of the packing list must be signed and returned to IBM CIC
Department within five (5) days after receipt of materials. It should be noted
on the form (see Exhibit D) that all items received were correct, or items
received were correct with the exception of any shortage, overage or incorrect
part indicated. The method of count should also be indicated. Notify the IBM
CIC Department by telephone if the discrepancy cannot be reported within the
five day period.
g. All shipments received by supplier should be verified against
the Consignment Inventory Listing (CIL) and any discrepancies should be
referenced to a shipment and a CIL.
h. For audit purposes, supplier should return on copy of the
updated packing list, along with the date the receipt acknowledgment was
returned to IBM.
i. If supplier receives part that should not have been consigned,
contact your Consignment Coordinator and set the parts aside. Request an ARCM
(Authorization to Return Consigned Material) so that they may be returned to
IBM.
j. Supplier should notify the IBM CIC Department immediately of
parts movement to and from supplier premises without authorization, i.e., at
the direction of the Buyer or Engineer.
4. DROP SHIPMENT (Interplant & Supplier)
a. IBM may instruct other IBM plants or another supplier to ship
parts directly to a consigned supplier.
2
188
b. The IBM Buyer will notify your company of this condition. Any
attempt to ship to you without this prior notification should be handled as
explained in Section 3 Item A.
c. Upon receipt of an authorized drop shipment, receive the
material as a normal consigned shipment.
NOTE: All drop shipments must be source stamped signifying
good parts. If you receive unstamped part, set aside
and contact the Buyer immediately. Parts should not
be used until inspected.
d. Once quantities are verified, the receiving supplier should
indicate the actual quantity received on packing slip. Sign and date the
packing slop and DELIVERY RECEIPT, staple the original packing slip to the
delivery receipt and forward to the IBM Receiving Department within 24 hours.
Retain a copy of the packing slip and delivery receipt for audit purposes.
e. If there are count discrepancies or defective parts on an
interplant drop shipment, notify the CIC Department immediately. If
discrepancies or defective parts are received on a drop shipment from another
supplier, contact the Buyer immediately.
f. Drop shipments from another supplier must have a drop ship
sequence number assigned by the sending supplier. A separate series of numbers
should be used if parts are drop shipped to more than one supplier.
*g. All drop shipments must be labeled in accordance with IBM
packing specifications GA21-9261-08 as indicated below:
All articles must be marked with the country of origin. Country
Customs Organizations require every article of foreign origin be marked in a
conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the
article will permit. The country of origin is defined as that manufacturing
country wherein the article obtained its present identity as a part,
sub-assembly or finished product.
All domestic and foreign shipping containers must be identified as
described below, this includes bagged or boxed parts within a container or
containers within a unit loan shipper.

*h. Audit all (100%) world trade receipts and maintain
documentation by month.
1) Review receipts for container identification of
Country of Origin. In those instances where COO is not obvious, annotate the
packing list and forward to IBM receiving in your normal manner.
5. STOCKING AND CONTROL OF CONSIGNED MATERIAL BY SUPPLIER
a. Store IBM San ▇▇▇▇ consigned material in an area separate from
your own material, another company's material, IBM rework material, or another
IBM plant's material.
1) If parts are required for a rework purchase order,
these must be provided. Consigned inventory should not be used.
2) Contact the IBM buyer if this situation exists.
b. Maintain adequate inventory records on all IBM consigned
material including quantity of each part number received by job number,
assembly number and purchase order number.
c. It is recommended that a withdrawal system from the stock room
to the production line be set up and controlled, including a parts inventory
location system. Parts should be issued on a First In, First Out basis (FIFO).
This location file can be either computer system or card file for warehouse
locations and card file within assembly areas. IBM identifies suppliers by
supplier number. If your physical location has been assigned more than one
supplier number, you must segregate IBM's inventory at your location by
supplier number.
d. Selected suppliers will be required to prepare a critical
parts list reflecting parts that will represent a shortage problem within a
specified number of working days. This notification is not to be used for
parts required for rework or reconditioning. These lists are to be forwarded
to IBM CIC Department. Contact you IBM Buyer when delivery problems arise (see
Exhibit E).
e. Discrepant parts found during the manufacturing process are to
be held until dispositioned by IBM. When this condition exists, contact IBM
CIC, Material Review or the IBM Buyer.
6. RETURN OF CONSIGNED MATERIAL TO IBM
4
190
a. All consigned material returned to IBM must be listed on an
Authorization for Return of Consigned Material (ARCM), Form Number 927-0342
(see Exhibit F). A separate ARCM Document for each category of material
(excess, defective, down level, wrong part issue or parts requested by IBM
Analyzer) must be attached to all parts. The only exception is when parts have
been authorized to be scrapped on supplier's location. See page 7, Section 8d.
When this condition exists, only the ARCM document is returned to IBM.
All Returns:
1) An ARCM document will be prepared by CIC upon notification
from supplier that wrong part, excess, down level or defective material exists
at its location.
2) Periodically (at a minimum of twice per year), contact IBM CIC
to review the current IBM consigned part number list to the established IBM
manufacturing process. Any down level parts currently resident in your
facility should be dispositioned via ARCM documents.
3) CIC will send the ARCM document to supplier with authorized
signature within 24 hours of notification (see Exhibit F).
4) When appropriate, CIC will notify IBM Inspector to schedule a
review of the material at suppliers location.
5) The IBM inspector will inspect the material and indicate on
the ARCM document if it is acceptable for IBM stock. Damaged material will be
routed to IBM Material Review.
6) Include the number of boxes shipped to IBM on bottom of form.
Remove and return pink copy of ARCM document for your records.
7) Package individual parts in separate containers with separate
packing list. All parts listed on an ARCM must accompany the ARCM and
preferably unitized. The ARCM document number must be clearly marked on the
outside of each container. Containers should be identified by number of boxes,
i.e., 1 of 6, 2 of 6, etc.
8) Return remaining copies (white, green and yellow) of the ARCM
document along with the material (within five days of receipt of the ARCM
document) to IBM receiving. A ▇▇▇▇ of lading should be enclosed and a notation
that an ARCM is enclosed.
9) Damaged parts listed on the ARCM document that supplier agrees
are supplier's responsibility must be signed and dated by supplier. Any
disagreement will be resolved through the IBM Buyer.
10) All parts are to be packaged in accordance with IBM General
Packaging Specifications. Transportation charges will be paid by IBM.
5
191
11) If a part is sent on a rework purchase order, the document to
return unreworkable parts is the Request for Return Material (RRM), Form Number
9267-8671 (see Exhibit II). The RRM is provided by the responsible Buyer.
7. INVENTORY AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS
a. A yearly physical inventory is required on all IBM consigned
material.
b. Additional audits may be required and will be arranged by the
IBM Buyer and/or the IBM Consignment Auditor.
c. RICS (Rotating Inventory Counts) may be performed on a weekly
or monthly basis by CIC. These may be handled over the telephone or in person
by the Consignment Coordinator.
d. Actual inventory counts will be compared to the IBM
Consignment records and a percent-of-variance record will be kept. The control
of consignment may be a factor in IBM's determination of supplier's ability to
perform current and future subcontract work for IBM San ▇▇▇▇.
e. IBM requires that supplier keep inventory records. These
records should indicate current IBM inventory and a record of finished
assemblies shipped to IBM as well as that inventory received on consignment
from IBM or an IBM supplier. These records are commonly referred to as
in-transit records (i.e. receipts, shipments, returned parts on the ARCM
Documents, drop shipments and hand carried parts). Maintenance of these
records is an indication of supplier's ability to control IBM's assets. An
acceptable same log is attached for your review (Exhibit G).
f. When a subcontractor is used to complete operations on IBM
material at supplier's direction or based upon an agreement with IBM, supplier
is responsible for being able to account for that portion of the inventory that
may be at the subcontractor's location. Supplier is also responsible for
informing IBM auditors of the subcontractor, its location and what port of
IBM's inventory is located at subcontractor's premises or at a subsequent
location of supplier's.
g. Domestic Subsidiary - This involves assists that are given to
a domestic supplier who in turn gives it to their foreign subsidiary for use in
the production of goods to be imported into the U.S. with the U.S. supplier as
the Importer of Record.
If you are the Importer of Record for goods benefiting from this
consignment, you may have value declaration responsibilities to U.S. customs.
Contact the IBM Buyer for customs valuation information.
8. SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOST OR DAMAGED GOODS
6
192
a. IBM Consigned material is insured by IBM; however, supplier
will be held liable for loss occasioned by supplier's fault or negligence. It
is the supplier's responsibility to obtain insurance to protect itself from
loss due to its negligence.
b. Control and reporting as described in this instruction is
necessary to properly account for all IBM consigned material and to prevent
audit discrepancies.
c. IBM consigned parts are to be used only on new production
purchase orders. Special arrangements with IBM buyers are necessary to use
consigned parts for other orders, i.e. rework, engineering jobs, etc.
d. There are occasions when IBM desires to scrap good or
defective parts at supplier location versus return the inventory to IBM. No
parts are to be scrapped until supplier receives written authorization from an
IBM Buyer or IBM Material Review (MR). The physical destruction of the
inventory must be witnessed by an IBM representative and documented on an ARCM.
9. SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS - IBM PARTS
a. Supplier acknowledges that all consigned material described in
the Consignment Agreement (Consignment Inventory Listing) has been received in
good condition and in the quantities stated thereon except when supplier has
notified IBM, in writing and within five days following the receipt of the
materials, or specific damage or quantity discrepancies. IBM acknowledges that
Supplier may not discovery defects that are not reasonable apparent until the
consigned material is integrated into systems and tested.
b. Title to all consigned materials shall remain in IBM.
c. For all material lost, destroyed, or damaged through the fault
or negligence of the supplier, supplier will pay IBM, at IBM's option, either
the cost of such materials or the cost of replacement materials required to
complete the performance of this order.
d. Supplier at its own expense will:
1) Separately account for all IBM Material.
2) Maintain current and accurate inventory records.
3) Take an accurate physical inventory thereof as
required by IBM (not more often than once each three months).
4) Return all unused materials to the consigning IBM
location promptly upon completion, cancellation, or expiration unless otherwise
agreed, or at any time after completion, cancellation, or expiration of this
order upon IBM's request.
5) IBM shall have the right to examine and audit said
records and to verify said inventories at any time upon reasonable notice.
7
193
10. EC - ENGINEERING CHANGES
IBM may require supplier to change the parts or process used in
assemblies. Supplier should maintain records related to which purchase orders
the change affects.
If this change affects orders where IBM has already shipped supplier
parts, contact your Consignment Coordinator to make sure correct parts have
been forwarded to these orders.
Supplier should call CIC if any problems occur with implementing an
Engineering Change, including completing the phase-in within the agreed upon
time frame and/or quantity.
11. SHIPMENTS TO IBM
When supplier completes assemblies to be shipped to IBM, supplier will
prepare the shipment and assign a control number in a sequential manner. The
purchase order number for the particular assemble must be shown.
