7.2. Standard Cost. The Parties shall apply the following process for setting Standard Costs. “Standard Cost” shall be defined as the cost for components and materials based on supplier selling prices as mutually agreed between the Parties. Standard Costs shall be set for all Materials on a Quarterly basis. Standard Costs shall be fixed for each Quarter and shall be adjusted in each subsequent Quarter.

Flextronics shall propose updated Standard Costs to Customer in the first week of the last month of each Quarter which will be calculated as an average of actual open purchase orders with suppliers for the subsequent forty-five (45)-day period and be applied to the subsequent Quarter. Standard Costs for each Quarter shall be mutually agreed between the Parties during the second week of the last month in the Quarter. Product pricing for the next Quarter shall be based on the new Standard Costs and shall become effective on the first day of the Quarter.

In cases where the actual purchase price of any Material exceeds the Standard Cost by more than US$150 during the Quarter, Flextronics shall contact Customer for written approval prior to the purchase of any such Material. Customer shall respond to such purchase price variance (PPV) requests within two (2) business days. Customer shall be deemed to have given its approval unless it delivers Flextronics a clear written advise to the contrary within said period. Flextronics is hereby granted a waiver from requesting written approval if the variant per order line is less than US$150.

7.3. Purchase Price Variance Reconciliation and Inventory Revaluation.

Adverse PPV is the responsibility of Customer on these standards.

There are two types of requests Flextronics can ask for regarding price change: Temporary price change / fixed price change.

Temporary price change could be asked for reasons like rescheduling delivery date, temporary allocation or other reasons, in such cases where Customer approved the change, the Standard Cost will remain the same for the next Quarter and Flextronics will debit Customer's account for the difference in price which will be paid within thirty (30) days from the end of the calendar month on which an invoice therefore was issued.

Fixed price change could be asked for reasons like allocation market price change or other reasons, in such cases where Customer approved the change, the Standard Cost will be changed in the next Quarter and Flextronics will debit Customer's account for the difference in price at the end of the Quarter. The amount will be calculated as the quantity of parts consumed in last Quarter that were purchased in increased price times the difference between the old price and the new price.

An example for temporary price change/fixed price change is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

7.4. WIP & Finished Goods.

At the end of each Quarter after the new Standard Cost of each part was determined, a new price for the Product will be calculated by Flextronics and presented to Customer. Those prices will take effect on the first day of the following Quarter.
