COMPONENTS<\/p>\n<p>         Because the Equipment purchased by IBM from StorageTek is likely to be<br \/>\n         associated with the IBM brand, IBM wishes to be assured that such<br \/>\n         Equipment, when sold to its customers, will have the quality that its<br \/>\n         customers expect from items so branded. Accordingly, IBM believes that,<br \/>\n         to the extent that StorageTek can utilize components in such Equipment<br \/>\n         that are manufactured by or for IBM under its high quality standards,<br \/>\n         it would be desirable for StorageTek to obtain such components from IBM<br \/>\n         for use in manufacturing the Equipment. On receipt of IBM&#8217;s written<br \/>\n         request, StorageTek agrees if such [**], it will [**]. StorageTek<br \/>\n         agrees to [**] if IBM [**], and if such [**], and such [**].<\/p>\n<p>5.

Except for any changes that are made to the<br \/>\n         Statement of Work and agreed to in writing by an authorized<br \/>\n         representative from IBM&#8217;s procurement function and StorageTek&#8217;s<br \/>\n         Agreement Administrator, the Agreement Administrators may not amend the<br \/>\n         terms of this Agreement.

Reporting of FRU Consumption. IBM will provide a<br \/>\n                           quarterly report to StorageTek that summarizes<br \/>\n                           IBM-reported fault symptom information for the<br \/>\n                           consumption of FRUs in repair actions that are<br \/>\n                           undertaken by IBM in the United States. The<br \/>\n                           summarized information in this report will be<br \/>\n                           adjusted by IBM to exclude those items which qualify<br \/>\n                           as Cost Exclusions.

Credit for Labor Costs. The target for labor required<br \/>\n                           for repair actions (including [**] and those repair<br \/>\n                           actions related to [**], but excluding labor required<br \/>\n                           for [**] is [**] for each [**] during a Machine<br \/>\n                           Month. StorageTek shall provide a credit to IBM on a<br \/>\n                           [**] basis up through [**] after the date of last<br \/>\n                           Delivery of Product, upon StorageTek&#8217;s receipt of<br \/>\n                           appropriate supporting documentation, for average<br \/>\n                           labor costs per Machine Month incurred by IBM in<br \/>\n                           connection with repair actions that are in excess of<br \/>\n                           [**] of that [**] target (&#8220;Excess Labor Cost&#8221;). The<br \/>\n                           amount of this credit will be calculated by<br \/>\n                           multiplying the number of hours in excess of [**] of<br \/>\n                           that [**] target by a rate of [**] per hour. In the<br \/>\n                           event that IBM incurs labor costs in excess of [**]<br \/>\n                           of that [**] target and the Parties determine that<br \/>\n                           the incurrence of [**], then a [**] action will be<br \/>\n                           developed and implemented. This plan shall include<br \/>\n                           [**]. The calculation of Excess Labor Cost will be<br \/>\n                           based on [**] and [**]. The credit provided hereunder<br \/>\n                           may [**] be used by [**], first, by [**] against any<br \/>\n                           [**] during the [**]; second, against [**]; or third,<br \/>\n                           [**] after [**].

DISPUTE RESOLUTION<\/p>\n<p>         22.1     ESCALATION PROCESS<\/p>\n<p>                  The Parties will attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any<br \/>\n                  controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this<br \/>\n                  Agreement by negotiations between executives of the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>                  If a controversy or claim should arise, the Agreement<br \/>\n                  Administrators, or their respective successors, or their<br \/>\n                  superiors, will meet in person or phone, as they decide, at<br \/>\n                  least once and will attempt to resolve the matter. Either<br \/>\n                  Agreement Administrator may require the other to meet within<br \/>\n                  seven days at a mutually agreed upon time and location.<\/p>\n<p>                  If the matter has not been resolved within ten days of their<br \/>\n                  first meeting, or a request for such meeting if no meeting<br \/>\n                  occurs, the Agreement Administrators shall refer the matter to<br \/>\n                  senior executives, who shall have authority to settle the<br \/>\n                  dispute (hereafter &#8220;Senior Executives&#8221;). The Senior Executive<br \/>\n                  for IBM shall be the General Manager of IBM&#8217;s Storage System<br \/>\n                  business or his\/her designee and the Senior Executive of<br \/>\n                  StorageTek shall be its Chief Executive Officer, or his\/her<br \/>\n                  designee. Thereupon, the Agreement Administrators shall<br \/>\n                  promptly prepare and exchange memoranda stating the issues in<br \/>\n                  dispute, and their positions, summarizing the negotiations<br \/>\n                  which have taken place, and attaching relevant documents. The<br \/>\n                  Senior Executives will meet in person or by telephone within<br \/>\n                  seven (7) days of the end of the ten (10) day period referred<br \/>\n                  to above, at a mutually agreed time.<\/p>\n<p>                                       45<br \/>\n   52<\/p>\n<p>                  The first meeting shall be held at the offices of the<br \/>\n                  Agreement Administrator receiving the request to meet. If more<br \/>\n                  than one meeting is held, the meetings shall be held in<br \/>\n                  rotation at the offices of IBM and StorageTek.<\/p>\n<p>                  If the matter has not been resolved within fifteen (15) days<br \/>\n                  of the first meeting of the Senior Executives (which period<br \/>\n                  may be extended by mutual agreement), the Parties will attempt<br \/>\n                  in good faith to resolve the controversy or claim in<br \/>\n                  accordance with the following mediation process. During the<br \/>\n                  course of negotiations between the representatives, all<br \/>\n                  reasonable requests made by one party to the other for<br \/>\n                  nonprivileged information will be honored in order that each<br \/>\n                  of the parties may be fully informed of the circumstances<br \/>\n                  relevant to the dispute.<\/p>\n<p>         22.2     MEDIATION PROCESS<\/p>\n<p>                  If the escalation process fails to resolve a dispute in<br \/>\n                  connection with this Agreement, any such dispute shall be<br \/>\n                  submitted to expedited mediation prior to the commencement of<br \/>\n                  any litigation with respect to such dispute. In the event<br \/>\n                  either party intends to seek recourse against the other by an<br \/>\n                  action at law or in equity, such party shall first give notice<br \/>\n                  to the other party. Within ten (10) business days of such<br \/>\n                  notice, the Parties shall attempt to agree on one mediator who<br \/>\n                  shall be a person mutually agreeable to both Parties and who<br \/>\n                  shall be experienced in the DASD industry. In the event the<br \/>\n                  Parties cannot agree on one mediator, each shall have the<br \/>\n                  right to appoint one mediator, and the two mediators shall<br \/>\n                  appoint a third. Mediation shall commence within twenty (20)<br \/>\n                  business days of the notice of request for mediation. Each<br \/>\n                  party agrees to cooperate fully with the mediator(s) in an<br \/>\n                  attempt to resolve any disputes. The mediator(s) shall use the<br \/>\n                  rules of the American Arbitration Association in conducting<br \/>\n                  the mediation. Any decision reached through mediation shall be<br \/>\n                  in writing but shall not be legally binding upon the Parties<br \/>\n                  nor admissible as evidence in any legal proceedings. If the<br \/>\n                  Parties cannot resolve their differences to their mutual<br \/>\n                  satisfaction within thirty (30) business days of the request<br \/>\n                  for mediation, either Party shall be free to pursue any and<br \/>\n                  all other remedies available to such Party, including, but not<br \/>\n                  limited to, litigation. Costs of the Mediator shall be born<br \/>\n                  equally by the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>23.

[**] rates are controlled by selecting various [**]. The<br \/>\n                  maximum rates are tested by establishing a [**].<\/p>\n<p>         4.       [**] volumes are standardly used, a sufficient number to allow<br \/>\n                  [**] of [**] subsystems.<\/p>\n<p>         5.

The workload is run with [**], listed in order of &#8220;cache<br \/>\n                  friendliness&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>         a.       [**]<\/p>\n<p>                                       3<br \/>\n   151<\/p>\n<p>         b.       [**]<\/p>\n<p>         c.       [**]<\/p>\n<p>         d.       [**]<\/p>\n<p>         In general, the less cache friendly workloads have [**], and [**].<\/p>\n<p>         2.       With the exception of the [**] workload, these workloads are<br \/>\n                  run at [**] measurement points, with each measurement point<br \/>\n                  representing a [**] [**] in variable user population. This<br \/>\n                  means that [**] are added at higher loads, with each [**]<br \/>\n                  having a [**]. (Some workloads, including the [**] variation,<br \/>\n                  [**] user population that [**] at [**] measurement points.) As<br \/>\n                  a result, as the user population grows at the [**] measurement<br \/>\n                  points, [**] effects are generally observed for a subsystem at<br \/>\n                  a specific cache size.<\/p>\n<p>                  [**]<br \/>\n                  [**]<br \/>\n                  [**]<\/p>\n<p>                  The [**] measurement point generates an average of [**] per<br \/>\n                  [**] volume in the workload, attempting to drive the workload<br \/>\n                  to [**] and [**] per volume at the [**] measurement points.<br \/>\n                  However, since the [**] times are fixed, as response times<br \/>\n                  increase at the [**], the actual subsystem throughputs [**]<br \/>\n                  these targets.<\/p>\n<p>         3.       Each measurement point is run for approximately [**]. The data<br \/>\n                  bases are [**] (to realistically deal with [**] sizes), and<br \/>\n                  the [**] run duration is generally not long enough for [**]<br \/>\n                  design to stabilize into record caching. This is due to the<br \/>\n                  [**] unique to the [**]. As a result, some of the measurements<br \/>\n                  of the [**] variation may be pessimistic for the [**].<\/p>\n<p>         4.       The workload can be configured using multiples of [**]<br \/>\n                  volumes. The current setup uses [**] volumes, but can be<br \/>\n                  easily expanded beyond that number. It should be noted than<br \/>\n                  although most [**] are configured with more than [**] volumes,<br \/>\n                  at any given time most of those volumes have very little<br \/>\n                  activity, and most of the data is inactive. In that sense, a<br \/>\n                  [**] volume experiment with these workloads represents the<br \/>\n                  performance characteristics of a larger customer<br \/>\n                  configuration.<\/p>\n<p>         5.       Except for the [**] variation, [**] are skewed across [**]<br \/>\n                  volumes. For example, at the [**] measurement point for a set<br \/>\n                  of [**] volumes, [**] volumes attempt an [**] of approximately<br \/>\n                  [**] volumes attempt approximately [**] that rate, and [**]<br \/>\n                  volume attempts approximately [**] that rate.<\/p>\n<p>         6.       In the cache standard variation, a few volumes have [**]<br \/>\n                  characteristics, while the rest of the volumes have [**]. In<br \/>\n                  the other workload variations, all of the [**]<\/p>\n<p>                                       4<br \/>\n   152<\/p>\n<p>                  volumes have [**] characteristics. The standard cache<br \/>\n                  workload contains [**] volumes that have [**] characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>         7.       A [**] variation is included to [**] throughput capabilities<br \/>\n                  of the subsystem. [**] measurement points are run, from<br \/>\n                  approximately [**] sec per volume at the [**] rate, to a [**]<br \/>\n                  rate. This workload uses a [**] user population, reducing the<br \/>\n                  [**] as load increases, to a [**] at the [**] measurement<br \/>\n                  point. For this workload, [**] tend to remain constant across<br \/>\n                  the measurement points.<\/p>\n<p>         8.       The workload uses [**] sizes for all variations.<\/p>\n<p>         9.       The [**] friendly variations have [**] write content. All<br \/>\n                  writes are [**] writes, meaning that the record is [**], and<br \/>\n                  therefore [**] a hit in cache.<\/p>\n<p>         10.      Each [**] volume in the workload has [**] data set. Each [**]<br \/>\n                  data set is approximately [**] in size.<\/p>\n<p>         &#8212;       Table 2 shows some of the key workload characteristics for the<br \/>\n         random access tests and the [**] workload.

Contains [**] jobs, each with [**] job steps. The following is<br \/>\n                  the mixture of [**] by the job steps:<\/p>\n<p>                  &#8211; [**] reads of data sets with either [**] or [**] block<br \/>\n                  sizes.<\/p>\n<p>                  &#8211; A sequential application [**] that copies data sets with<br \/>\n                  either [**] or [**] block sizes.<\/p>\n<p>                  &#8211; A [**] application that updates [**] of the records.<\/p>\n<p>                  &#8211; A [**] application.

Each job has [**] data sets. Except for the data base data<br \/>\n                  sets, data sets are [**] distributed across [**].

INTRODUCTION<\/p>\n<p>         As an IBM Supplier, you arc responsible for IBM&#8217;s inventory while in<br \/>\nyour possession.  This agreement has been prepared for handling and control of<br \/>\nIBM consigned material.  Most questions that could arise involving consignment<br \/>\nare addressed to aid the supplier.  IBM may request space and facilities for an<br \/>\non site consignment representative to assist.<\/p>\n<p>         If questions should arise that have not been explained fully by this<br \/>\ndocument, please contact Consignment Inventory Control (CIC), Department 617.<\/p>\n<p>2.       IBM SHIPMENT OF CONSIGNED MATERIAL TO SUPPLIER<\/p>\n<p>         a.      Material will be shipped to supplier prepaid unless a<br \/>\ndifferent arrangement has been agreed to in advance.<\/p>\n<p>         b.      Partial shipment of Consigned material may be made when:<\/p>\n<p>                 1)       The entire quantity is not readily available from IBM<br \/>\nstock (an IBM backorder is automatically created when this situation occurs).<\/p>\n<p>                 2)       If the size or quantity of a given item would cause<br \/>\nstorage difficulties, the supplier may notify the IBM buyer and the buyer will<br \/>\narrange with CIC for partial shipments to be made.  The notification must be<br \/>\nmade on a timely basis, preferably when the order is placed.<\/p>\n<p>3.       RECEIPT AND INSPECTION OF CONSIGNMENT BY SUPPLIER<\/p>\n<p>         a.      All shipments of consigned material by IBM to the supplier<br \/>\nwill be accompanied by two copies of an IBM packing list (see Exhibits A, 13,<br \/>\nand C).<\/p>\n<p>         b.      Immediately upon receipt, supplier is responsible for checking<br \/>\nall cartons for any sign of visible damage and noting such damage on the<br \/>\nconsignee memo\/bill of lading or delivery receipt.  Also, note any shortages or<br \/>\noverages of containers, boxes, pallets, etc., if not as already noted on the<br \/>\nfreight bill.<\/p>\n<p>         c.      Visual external damage &#8211; Parts that are received by supplier<br \/>\nin packaging that exhibit external damage must be rejected and held until<br \/>\ndisposition is made.  Supplier must note damage on the delivery receipt and<br \/>\nhave the driver sign that exception is taken.  Immediately call the carrier for<br \/>\na formal inspection of the damage.  Carrier should make inspection within five<br \/>\n(5) working days.  If the carrier does not respond within the five (5) days,<br \/>\nsupplier must notify the IBM Buyer.<br \/>\n   187<br \/>\n         In the event the carrier elects not to make in inspection. the carrier<br \/>\nmust provide the supplier with letter stating that inspection has been waived.<br \/>\nThe letter should include the necessary information to identify the damaged<br \/>\nshipment.  The inspection report or letter of waiver and a copy of the delivery<br \/>\nreceipt must be sent to the appropriate IBM Buyer who will notify the IBM<br \/>\nTraffic Department.<\/p>\n<p>         Please Note:  Should the part be identified as &#8220;CFM&#8221;, supplier must<br \/>\nnotify the IBM Buyer and Traffic Department immediately upon receipt.  The<br \/>\nTraffic Department will instruct the carrier to make an expedited 24 hour<br \/>\ndisposition.<\/p>\n<p>         d.      All packing material must be available for the carrier&#8217;s<br \/>\ninspection.<\/p>\n<p>         e.      Hidden\/concealed damage &#8211; Parts that are received with<br \/>\nexternal packaging intact, but parts inside damaged, must be rejected.  If<br \/>\ndamage is discovered within ten (10) days of receipt, the carrier must be<br \/>\nnotified to make a formal inspection report and a copy of the bill of lading or<br \/>\ndelivery receipt and carrier&#8217;s damage inspection report must be forwarded to<br \/>\nthe appropriate IBM Buyer, who in turn will notify the Traffic Department.  IBM<br \/>\nMaterial Review must be notified in order to set up the necessary documentation<br \/>\nfor the return of the defective parts.<\/p>\n<p>         f.      Verification of Count &#8211; Hand and scale counts must be made on<br \/>\nall receipts of consigned material, rework material, or material purchased from<br \/>\nIBM.  A copy of the packing list must be signed and returned to IBM CIC<br \/>\nDepartment within five (5) days after receipt of materials.  It should be noted<br \/>\non the form (see Exhibit D) that all items received were correct, or items<br \/>\nreceived were correct with the exception of any shortage, overage or incorrect<br \/>\npart indicated.  The method of count should also be indicated.  Notify the IBM<br \/>\nCIC Department by telephone if the discrepancy cannot be reported within the<br \/>\nfive day period.<\/p>\n<p>         g.      All shipments received by supplier should be verified against<br \/>\nthe Consignment Inventory Listing (CIL) and any discrepancies should be<br \/>\nreferenced to a shipment and a CIL.<\/p>\n<p>         h.      For audit purposes, supplier should return on copy of the<br \/>\nupdated packing list, along with the date the receipt acknowledgment was<br \/>\nreturned to IBM.<\/p>\n<p>         i.      If supplier receives part that should not have been consigned,<br \/>\ncontact your Consignment Coordinator and set the parts aside.  Request an ARCM<br \/>\n(Authorization to Return Consigned Material) so that they may be returned to<br \/>\nIBM.<\/p>\n<p>         j.      Supplier should notify the IBM CIC Department immediately of<br \/>\nparts movement to and from supplier premises without authorization, i.e., at<br \/>\nthe direction of the Buyer or Engineer.<\/p>\n<p>4.       DROP SHIPMENT (Interplant &amp; Supplier)<\/p>\n<p>         a.      IBM may instruct other IBM plants or another supplier to ship<br \/>\nparts directly to a consigned supplier.<\/p>\n<p>                                       2<br \/>\n   188<br \/>\n         b.      The IBM Buyer will notify your company of this condition.  Any<br \/>\nattempt to ship to you without this prior notification should be handled as<br \/>\nexplained in Section 3 Item A.<\/p>\n<p>         c.      Upon receipt of an authorized drop shipment, receive the<br \/>\nmaterial as a normal consigned shipment.<\/p>\n<p>         NOTE:            All drop shipments must be source stamped signifying<br \/>\n                          good parts.  If you receive unstamped part, set aside<br \/>\n                          and contact the Buyer immediately.  Parts should not<br \/>\n                          be used until inspected.<\/p>\n<p>         d.      Once quantities are verified, the receiving supplier should<br \/>\nindicate the actual quantity received on packing slip.  Sign and date the<br \/>\npacking slop and DELIVERY RECEIPT, staple the original packing slip to the<br \/>\ndelivery receipt and forward to the IBM Receiving Department within 24 hours.<br \/>\nRetain a copy of the packing slip and delivery receipt for audit purposes.<\/p>\n<p>         e.      If there are count discrepancies or defective parts on an<br \/>\ninterplant drop shipment, notify the CIC Department immediately.  If<br \/>\ndiscrepancies or defective parts are received on a drop shipment from another<br \/>\nsupplier, contact the Buyer immediately.<\/p>\n<p>         f.      Drop shipments from another supplier must have a drop ship<br \/>\nsequence number assigned by the sending supplier.  A separate series of numbers<br \/>\nshould be used if parts are drop shipped to more than one supplier.<\/p>\n<p>        *g.      All drop shipments must be labeled in accordance with IBM<br \/>\npacking specifications GA21-9261-08 as indicated below:<\/p>\n<p>         All articles must be marked with the country of origin.  Country<br \/>\nCustoms Organizations require every article of foreign origin be marked in a<br \/>\nconspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the<br \/>\narticle will permit.  The country of origin is defined as that manufacturing<br \/>\ncountry wherein the article obtained its present identity as a part,<br \/>\nsub-assembly or finished product.<\/p>\n<p>         All domestic and foreign shipping containers must be identified as<br \/>\ndescribed below, this includes bagged or boxed parts within a container or<br \/>\ncontainers within a unit loan shipper.<\/p>\n<p>         IBM P\/N<br \/>\n                   &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n         E\/C LEVEL<br \/>\n                   &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n         PKG TY<br \/>\n                   &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n         COUNTRY OF ORIGIN<br \/>\n                            &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n         Figure 1.  Identification required on each individual package.<\/p>\n<p>         *       In addition, the date of manufacture is required on each<br \/>\ncontainer when shipping shelf-life items.<\/p>\n<p>                                       3<br \/>\n   189<br \/>\n         If size permits, this information should appear on two adjacent,<br \/>\nvertical sides of the container when it is in the normal shipping position.<\/p>\n<p>         Figure 2.

In those instances where COO is not obvious, annotate the<br \/>\npacking list and forward to IBM receiving in your normal manner.<\/p>\n<p>5.       STOCKING AND CONTROL OF CONSIGNED MATERIAL BY SUPPLIER<\/p>\n<p>         a.      Store IBM San Jose consigned material in an area separate from<br \/>\nyour own material, another company&#8217;s material, IBM rework material, or another<br \/>\nIBM plant&#8217;s material.<\/p>\n<p>                 1)       If parts are required for a rework purchase order,<br \/>\nthese must be provided.  Consigned inventory should not be used.<\/p>\n<p>                 2)       Contact the IBM buyer if this situation exists.<\/p>\n<p>         b.      Maintain adequate inventory records on all IBM consigned<br \/>\nmaterial including quantity of each part number received by job number,<br \/>\nassembly number and purchase order number.<\/p>\n<p>         c.      It is recommended that a withdrawal system from the stock room<br \/>\nto the production line be set up and controlled, including a parts inventory<br \/>\nlocation system.  Parts should be issued on a First In, First Out basis (FIFO).<br \/>\nThis location file can be either computer system or card file for warehouse<br \/>\nlocations and card file within assembly areas.  IBM identifies suppliers by<br \/>\nsupplier number.  If your physical location has been assigned more than one<br \/>\nsupplier number, you must segregate IBM&#8217;s inventory at your location by<br \/>\nsupplier number.<\/p>\n<p>         d.      Selected suppliers will be required to prepare a critical<br \/>\nparts list reflecting parts that will represent a shortage problem within a<br \/>\nspecified number of working days.  This notification is not to be used for<br \/>\nparts required for rework or reconditioning.  These lists are to be forwarded<br \/>\nto IBM CIC Department.  Contact you IBM Buyer when delivery problems arise (see<br \/>\nExhibit E).<\/p>\n<p>         e.      Discrepant parts found during the manufacturing process are to<br \/>\nbe held until dispositioned by IBM.  When this condition exists, contact IBM<br \/>\nCIC, Material Review or the IBM Buyer.<\/p>\n<p>6.       RETURN OF CONSIGNED MATERIAL TO IBM<\/p>\n<p>                                      4<br \/>\n   190<br \/>\n         a.      All consigned material returned to IBM must be listed on an<br \/>\nAuthorization for Return of Consigned Material (ARCM), Form Number 927-0342<br \/>\n(see Exhibit F).  A separate ARCM Document for each category of material<br \/>\n(excess, defective, down level, wrong part issue or parts requested by IBM<br \/>\nAnalyzer) must be attached to all parts.  The only exception is when parts have<br \/>\nbeen authorized to be scrapped on supplier&#8217;s location.  See page 7, Section 8d.<br \/>\nWhen this condition exists, only the ARCM document is returned to IBM.<\/p>\n<p>         All Returns:<\/p>\n<p>         1)      An ARCM document will be prepared by CIC upon notification<br \/>\nfrom supplier that wrong part, excess, down level or defective material exists<br \/>\nat its location.<\/p>\n<p>         2)      Periodically (at a minimum of twice per year), contact IBM CIC<br \/>\nto review the current IBM consigned part number list to the established IBM<br \/>\nmanufacturing process.  Any down level parts currently resident in your<br \/>\nfacility should be dispositioned via ARCM documents.<\/p>\n<p>         3)      CIC will send the ARCM document to supplier with authorized<br \/>\nsignature within 24 hours of notification (see Exhibit F).<\/p>\n<p>         4)      When appropriate, CIC will notify IBM Inspector to schedule a<br \/>\nreview of the material at suppliers location.<\/p>\n<p>         5)      The IBM inspector will inspect the material and indicate on<br \/>\nthe ARCM document if it is acceptable for IBM stock.  Damaged material will be<br \/>\nrouted to IBM Material Review.<\/p>\n<p>         6)      Include the number of boxes shipped to IBM on bottom of form.<br \/>\nRemove and return pink copy of ARCM document for your records.<\/p>\n<p>         7)      Package individual parts in separate containers with separate<br \/>\npacking list.  All parts listed on an ARCM must accompany the ARCM and<br \/>\npreferably unitized.  The ARCM document number must be clearly marked on the<br \/>\noutside of each container.  Containers should be identified by number of boxes,<br \/>\ni.e., 1 of 6, 2 of 6, etc.<\/p>\n<p>         8)      Return remaining copies (white, green and yellow) of the ARCM<br \/>\ndocument along with the material (within five days of receipt of the ARCM<br \/>\ndocument) to IBM receiving.  A bill of lading should be enclosed and a notation<br \/>\nthat an ARCM is enclosed.<\/p>\n<p>         9)      Damaged parts listed on the ARCM document that supplier agrees<br \/>\nare supplier&#8217;s responsibility must be signed and dated by supplier.  Any<br \/>\ndisagreement will be resolved through the IBM Buyer.<\/p>\n<p>         10)     All parts are to be packaged in accordance with IBM General<br \/>\nPackaging Specifications.  Transportation charges will be paid by IBM.<\/p>\n<p>                                      5<br \/>\n   191<br \/>\n         11)     If a part is sent on a rework purchase order, the document to<br \/>\nreturn unreworkable parts is the Request for Return Material (RRM), Form Number<br \/>\n9267-8671 (see Exhibit II).  The RRM is provided by the responsible Buyer.<\/p>\n<p>7.       INVENTORY AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS<\/p>\n<p>         a.      A yearly physical inventory is required on all IBM consigned<br \/>\nmaterial.<\/p>\n<p>         b.      Additional audits may be required and will be arranged by the<br \/>\nIBM Buyer and\/or the IBM Consignment Auditor.<\/p>\n<p>         c.      RICS (Rotating Inventory Counts) may be performed on a weekly<br \/>\nor monthly basis by CIC.  These may be handled over the telephone or in person<br \/>\nby the Consignment Coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>         d.      Actual inventory counts will be compared to the IBM<br \/>\nConsignment records and a percent-of-variance record will be kept.  The control<br \/>\nof consignment may be a factor in IBM&#8217;s determination of supplier&#8217;s ability to<br \/>\nperform current and future subcontract work for IBM San Jose.<\/p>\n<p>         e.      IBM requires that supplier keep inventory records.  These<br \/>\nrecords should indicate current IBM inventory and a record of finished<br \/>\nassemblies shipped to IBM as well as that inventory received on consignment<br \/>\nfrom IBM or an IBM supplier.  These records are commonly referred to as<br \/>\nin-transit records (i.e. receipts, shipments, returned parts on the ARCM<br \/>\nDocuments, drop shipments and hand carried parts).  Maintenance of these<br \/>\nrecords is an indication of supplier&#8217;s ability to control IBM&#8217;s assets.  An<br \/>\nacceptable same log is attached for your review (Exhibit G).<\/p>\n<p>         f.      When a subcontractor is used to complete operations on IBM<br \/>\nmaterial at supplier&#8217;s direction or based upon an agreement with IBM, supplier<br \/>\nis responsible for being able to account for that portion of the inventory that<br \/>\nmay be at the subcontractor&#8217;s location.  Supplier is also responsible for<br \/>\ninforming IBM auditors of the subcontractor, its location and what port of<br \/>\nIBM&#8217;s inventory is located at subcontractor&#8217;s premises or at a subsequent<br \/>\nlocation of supplier&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>         g.      Domestic Subsidiary &#8211; This involves assists that are given to<br \/>\na domestic supplier who in turn gives it to their foreign subsidiary for use in<br \/>\nthe production of goods to be imported into the U.S. with the U.S. supplier as<br \/>\nthe Importer of Record.<\/p>\n<p>         If you are the Importer of Record for goods benefiting from this<br \/>\nconsignment, you may have value declaration responsibilities to U.S. customs.<br \/>\nContact the IBM Buyer for customs valuation information.<\/p>\n<p>8.       SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOST OR DAMAGED GOODS<\/p>\n<p>                                      6<br \/>\n   192<br \/>\n         a.      IBM Consigned material is insured by IBM; however, supplier<br \/>\nwill be held liable for loss occasioned by supplier&#8217;s fault or negligence.  It<br \/>\nis the supplier&#8217;s responsibility to obtain insurance to protect itself from<br \/>\nloss due to its negligence.<\/p>\n<p>         b.      Control and reporting as described in this instruction is<br \/>\nnecessary to properly account for all IBM consigned material and to prevent<br \/>\naudit discrepancies.<\/p>\n<p>         c.      IBM consigned parts are to be used only on new production<br \/>\npurchase orders.  Special arrangements with IBM buyers are necessary to use<br \/>\nconsigned parts for other orders, i.e. rework, engineering jobs, etc.<\/p>\n<p>         d.      There are occasions when IBM desires to scrap good or<br \/>\ndefective parts at supplier location versus return the inventory to IBM.  No<br \/>\nparts are to be scrapped until supplier receives written authorization from an<br \/>\nIBM Buyer or IBM Material Review (MR).  The physical destruction of the<br \/>\ninventory must be witnessed by an IBM representative and documented on an ARCM.<\/p>\n<p>9.       SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS &#8211; IBM PARTS<\/p>\n<p>         a.      Supplier acknowledges that all consigned material described in<br \/>\nthe Consignment Agreement (Consignment Inventory Listing) has been received in<br \/>\ngood condition and in the quantities stated thereon except when supplier has<br \/>\nnotified IBM, in writing and within five days following the receipt of the<br \/>\nmaterials, or specific damage or quantity discrepancies.  IBM acknowledges that<br \/>\nSupplier may not discovery defects that are not reasonable apparent until the<br \/>\nconsigned material is integrated into systems and tested.<\/p>\n<p>         b.      Title to all consigned materials shall remain in IBM.<\/p>\n<p>         c.      For all material lost, destroyed, or damaged through the fault<br \/>\nor negligence of the supplier, supplier will pay IBM, at IBM&#8217;s option, either<br \/>\nthe cost of such materials or the cost of replacement materials required to<br \/>\ncomplete the performance of this order.<\/p>\n<p>         d.      Supplier at its own expense will:<\/p>\n<p>                 1)       Separately account for all IBM Material.<\/p>\n<p>                 2)       Maintain current and accurate inventory records.<\/p>\n<p>                 3)       Take an accurate physical inventory thereof as<br \/>\nrequired by IBM (not more often than once each three months).<\/p>\n<p>                 4)       Return all unused materials to the consigning IBM<br \/>\nlocation promptly upon completion, cancellation, or expiration unless otherwise<br \/>\nagreed, or at any time after completion, cancellation, or expiration of this<br \/>\norder upon IBM&#8217;s request.<\/p>\n<p>                 5)       IBM shall have the right to examine and audit said<br \/>\nrecords and to verify said inventories at any time upon reasonable notice.<\/p>\n<p>                                      7<br \/>\n   193<br \/>\n10.      EC &#8211; ENGINEERING CHANGES<\/p>\n<p>         IBM may require supplier to change the parts or process used in<br \/>\nassemblies.  Supplier should maintain records related to which purchase orders<br \/>\nthe change affects.<\/p>\n<p>         If this change affects orders where IBM has already shipped supplier<br \/>\nparts, contact your Consignment Coordinator to make sure correct parts have<br \/>\nbeen forwarded to these orders.<\/p>\n<p>         Supplier should call CIC if any problems occur with implementing an<br \/>\nEngineering Change, including completing the phase-in within the agreed upon<br \/>\ntime frame and\/or quantity.<\/p>\n<p>11.      SHIPMENTS TO IBM<\/p>\n<p>         When supplier completes assemblies to be shipped to IBM, supplier will<br \/>\nprepare the shipment and assign a control number in a sequential manner.  The<br \/>\npurchase order number for the particular assemble must be shown.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE:            Suppliers are not authorized to overship on Consignment<br \/>\n                 Purchase Orders.  Packing slip and invoice quantities must<br \/>\n                 match shipment quantity.<\/p>\n<p>                                      8<br \/>\n   194<br \/>\n                   Exhibit 5:  RVA1 FRU Prices and Lead Times<\/p>\n<table>\n<caption>\n<p>                                                              UNIT          REPAIR       CURRENT       INA<br \/>\nP\/N         IBM P\/N       R\/C          DESCRIPTION            PRICE         PRICE         P\/N          DATE<br \/>\n<s>         <c>          <c>            <c>                    <c>          <c>          <c>           <c><br \/>\n                                         [**]<br \/>\n<\/c><\/c><\/c><\/c><\/c><\/c><\/c><\/s><\/caption>\n<\/table>\n<p>   195<br \/>\n                                   EXHIBIT 6<br \/>\n                             LIST OF COUNTRIES FOR<br \/>\n                        INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY<\/p>\n<p>                         COUNTRIES FOR INDEMNIFICATION<br \/>\n                         &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>                                      [**]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_stopmodifiedupdate":true,"_modified_date":"","_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false},"corporate_contracts_companies":[7886,8959],"corporate_contracts_industries":[9508],"corporate_contracts_types":[9613,9619],"class_list":["post-42606","corporate_contracts","type-corporate_contracts","status-publish","hentry","corporate_contracts_companies-international-business-machines-corp","corporate_contracts_companies-storage-technology-corp","corporate_contracts_industries-technology__hardware","corporate_contracts_types-operations","corporate_contracts_types-operations__sales"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts\/42606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/corporate_contracts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"corporate_contracts_companies","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts_companies?post=42606"},{"taxonomy":"corporate_contracts_industries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts_industries?post=42606"},{"taxonomy":"corporate_contracts_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts_types?post=42606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
