Confidential Treatment Requested
(A) Upon request from SYNNEX, Customer may, at its election, consign Materials to SYNNEX. All consigned Materials shall be delivered to SYNNEX in a mutually agreed package type, and in sufficient time and in sufficient quantities to allow SYNNEX to meet scheduled delivery dates for the applicable Products.

3.2 Purchase Order and Forecast Releases. SYNNEX may make purchase commitments to vendors based upon the Purchase Orders or Forecasts received from Customer. Customer shall only be obligated to SYNNEX for Materials ordered by SYNNEX, as specifically provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Purchased Materials and Custom Materials, in quantities essential to meet a then projected delivery date for the related Product in the Purchase Order or then most recent Forecast. SYNNEX may give Customer written notice, from time to time, of the necessary advance order period for any Purchased Materials or Custom Materials that must be ordered more than ninety (90) days prior to receipt thereof by SYNNEX and any material change in such advance order period.
3.3 Rescheduling of Released Orders. Customer may reschedule delivery of units of Products up to two (2) weeks after the agreed delivery date by sending SYNNEX a written change order. Rescheduling of delivery of a Product beyond this two (2) week limitation may only be made with the approval of each of the parties. Customer may not reschedule delivery of units of Products before the agreed delivery date, except with the prior written consent of SYNNEX. Any fees for rescheduling, including resulting premium costs associated with Materials, labor or handling, must also be mutually agreed upon, in writing, by the parties.
3.4 Impact of Rescheduling. At any time after the Required Completion Date, SYNNEX may move any inventory of Products rescheduled beyond the limits specified in Section 3.3 to an internal secured consigned inventory location and bill to Customer an additional consignment fee to be mutually agreed upon by the parties, with payment terms as provided in Section 4.1. SYNNEX shall give Customer prompt written notice of its consignment election.
Inventory of Products not consumed after forty-five (45) days in the consigned inventory location shall be the responsibility of Customer and, five (5) days after the end of such forty-five (45) day period, in the sole discretion of SYNNEX, such inventory of Products may be shipped from the SYNNEX location to the non-SYNNEX location designated by Customer, at the expense of Customer.
3.5 Forecasts. At the request of SYNNEX, Customer shall provide SYNNEX, by the fifth business day of each month, with a three (3) month rolling forecast (the “Forecast”) of Customer’s purchase requirements of Products for such period, indicating the number of Products to be purchased during each month of the period of the Forecast. Forecasts shall be prepared in good faith and shall represent Customer’s reasonable expectation of its purchase requirements of Products for such period. Each Forecast shall be submitted in writing to SYNNEX by postal delivery, courier delivery, facsimile transmission, or electronic transmission, and shall supersede prior Forecasts to the extent the Forecast overlaps with prior Forecasts. Forecasts shall not be legally binding on Customer, except with respect to the obligations of Customer under this Agreement to purchase Purchased Materials and Custom Materials (as specified in Section 6.1), WIP and finished Products. Customer acknowledges and agrees that SYNNEX may place orders for Materials as required to meet the Forecast
5

within Material lead time plus two (2) weeks, taking into consideration any minimum order quantities, and may manufacture Products in reliance on the quantity requirements specified for the first two (2) weeks of any Forecast.
3.6 Engineering Design Changes. If Customer should request any engineering change order for any Product, SYNNEX shall give Customer written notice, within three (3) business days of receiving written notice of such request, of the date by which, and at what cost, such engineering change order could be implemented. Customer shall be responsible for any increase in such costs (net of any savings of costs), due to an engineering change order, to which Customer agrees in writing.
3.7 Quality Program. If applicable, each of the parties shall comply with the quality program requirements described in Exhibit C hereto.
3.8 Cancellations. In the event that Customer wishes to cancel some quantity of units of Products ordered pursuant to a Purchase Order or Forecast, SYNNEX, upon receipt of such written notice of such cancellation, shall stop work on such units of Products to the extent specified therein. Customer’s termination liability for a cancellation shall be limited to the following:
(A) Payment for all units of Products delivered to Customer, or in the process of being delivered at the time, plus finished units of Products in inventory prior to, and including, the effective date of cancellation, at then applicable unit prices for such Products;
(B) Payment for all WIP on units of Products based upon (i) percentage of completion, as reasonably determined by SYNNEX and (ii) written notice, in reasonable detail, of which is given to Customer within two (2) business days of the effective date of cancellation, multiplied by the then applicable unit price of such Products, including units of Products which were in progress prior to receipt of notice of cancellation and that could not be completed by the cancellation date (Customer has the right to require SYNNEX to complete any such units on a reasonable schedule acceptable to both parties.); and
(C) Payment for Purchased Materials and Custom Materials as specified in Section 6.1.
SYNNEX shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize cancellation charges by returning Purchased Materials for credit (with Customer’s approval), reselling Purchased Materials to third parties (with Customer’s approval), canceling Purchased Materials and Custom Materials on order, applying Purchased Materials and Custom Materials to other SYNNEX projects (when possible, at the sole discretion of SYNNEX), and minimizing all WIP and finished Products in support of the final production schedule.

The parties, as business requirements dictate, may mutually agree upon the use of blanket Purchase Orders for specific Materials, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(B) From time to time as requested by either party, but no less than semi-annually, the parties shall jointly review overall cost and volume performance of SYNNEX and Customer, respectively, and other performance parameters to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Both parties may mutually pursue alternative pricing in order to retain the original cost. If such an alternative cannot be attained within a reasonable period of time, the purchase prices for units of the affected Product shall be adjusted to reflect the actual amount of such increase.
As appropriate in the circumstances, as determined by Customer in its sole discretion, Customer shall commit such engineering resources as may be necessary to qualify an alternative source Material if its preliminary review of the engineering specifications for such alternative source Material shows that it provides enhanced management of supply or cost improvements or adequately addresses any end-of-life issues for a then utilized Material.

Each of the parties agrees not to solicit, hire or engage any employees of the other party that are directly involved in the activities of the other party in connection with this Agreement during the period such employees are employed by the other party and for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of such employee’s termination of employment from the other party. Each party acknowledges that any material violation of the rights and obligations provided in this Section 11.1 may result in immediate and irreparable injury to the other party, and hereby agrees that the aggrieved party shall be entitled to immediate temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief against any such continued violations upon adequate proof, as required by applicable law.

SECTION 12 CONFIDENTIALITY.
12.1 Confidentiality Obligations. The receiving party shall protect the confidentiality and secrecy of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and shall prevent any improper disclosure or use thereof by its employees, agents, contractors or consultants, in the same manner and with the same degree of care (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care) as it uses in protecting its own information of a confidential nature for a period of three (3) years from the date of such disclosure. Each party must inform its employees having access to the other’s Confidential Information of restrictions required to comply with this Section 12.1. Each party agrees to provide notice to the other immediately after learning of or having reason to suspect a breach of any of the restrictions of this Section 12.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information if and to the extent that such disclosure is required by applicable law, provided that the receiving party uses reasonable
14
Confidential Treatment Requested
efforts to limit the disclosure and provides the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to review the disclosure before it is made and to interpose its own objection to the disclosure.
Each party retains for itself all proprietary rights it possesses in and to all of its own Confidential Information. Accordingly, Confidential Information which the disclosing party may furnish to the receiving party shall be in the receiving party’s possession pursuant only to a restrictive, nontransferable, nonexclusive license under which the receiving party may use such Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement, solely for the purposes of satisfying its obligations hereunder. Each party understands that the party receiving Confidential Information may now or in the future be developing proprietary information internally, or receiving proprietary information from third parties in confidence that may be similar to disclosed Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a representation or inference that the receiving party will not develop products, for itself or others, that compete with the products, processes, systems or methods contemplated by disclosed Confidential Information.
Each party acknowledges that any material violation of the rights and obligations provided in this Section 12.1 may result in immediate and irreparable injury to the other party, and hereby agrees that the aggrieved party shall be entitled to immediate temporary, preliminary, and, permanent injunctive relief against any such continued violations upon adequate proof, as required by applicable law. Notwithstanding Section 13.6, each party hereby submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of competent subject matter jurisdiction for purposes of entry of such injunctive relief.
SECTION 13 MISCELLANEOUS.
13.1 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties relating to such transactions. The Exhibits attached hereto are considered to be a part of this Agreement; provided, however, in the event of conflict between the documents comprising this Agreement, the order of precedence shall be (1) the Purchase Order, (2) the then most recent Forecast, (3) these General Terms and Conditions, and (4) the remaining Exhibits. No modification of this Agreement shall be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party.
13.2 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party hereto shall in any way sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of any of the rights, privileges, duties and obligations granted or imposed upon it under this Agreement; provided, however, SYNNEX shall have the right to assign its rights, duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to an affiliate of SYNNEX; provided further, however, SYNNEX shall remain obligated under this Agreement and Customer shall
15

have the right to approve any change of the manufacturing facility for any Product. An affiliate of SYNNEX means any corporation, partnership or other business entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with SYNNEX.
13.3 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, except in those instances where removal or elimination of such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision or provisions would result in a failure of consideration under this Agreement, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall be severed and shall not affect any other provision hereof. Furthermore, the severed provision shall be replaced by a provision which comes closest to such severed provision, or part thereof, in language and intent, without being invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
13.4 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay in performance or failure to perform, in whole or in part, due to labor dispute, strike, war or act of war (whether an actual declaration is made or not), insurrection, riot, civil commotion, act of public enemy, accident, fire, flood, earthquake, or other act of God, act of any governmental authority, judicial action, computer virus or worm, or similar causes beyond the reasonable control of such party. If any event of force majeure occurs, the party affected by such event shall promptly notify the other party of such event and take all reasonable actions to avoid the effect of such event. Regardless of the excuse of Force Majeure, if such party is not able to perform within forty-five (45) days after such event, the other party may terminate the affected purchase order(s).
13.5 Independent Contractor. SYNNEX and Customer are and shall be independent contractors to one another, and nothing herein shall be deemed to cause this Agreement to create an agency, partnership, or joint venture between the parties.
13.6 Disputes. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith the settlement of any disputes that may arise under this Agreement. If necessary, such disputes shall be escalated to appropriate senior management of each party. In the event that such good faith settlements fail, excluding any and all disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with Sections 11.1 or 12.1, any and all other disputes and controversies of every kind and nature between the parties arising out of or in connection with the existence, construction, validity, interpretation, or meaning, performance, non-performance, enforcement, operation, breach, continuance, or termination of this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration, pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator in Alameda County, California. In the event the parties cannot agree on the arbitrator, then an administrator of the American Arbitration Association shall select an appropriate arbitrator from among arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association with experience in manufacturing disputes for technology products. In the event of any litigation arising out of this Agreement or its enforcement by either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as part of any judgement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
