4.7.2 Any information regarding Materials Declaration Requirements compliance of parts, components, packaging or materials used in the Products shall come from the relevant supplier.

4.8 Equitable Adjustment. In the event Jabil’s cost of performance significantly changes (either increases or decreases) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, Jabil or Company shall be entitled to request an equitable adjustment to price and/or schedule on any open Build Schedules.

In the event Jabil commences manufacturing of products at the Jabil Facility for the Company identified competitors, Jabil and Company agree to review Jabil’s processes for adhering to Section 13, Confidentiality.

4.11 Rush Orders. Company may, at its option, submit orders requesting immediate delivery within three (3) working days (“Rush Orders”).

Jabil shall provide Company with as much notice as possible if it anticipates or has reason to believe that Jabil’s output of the Product shall not be sufficient to meet all of Company’s requirements for any period.

If Jabil is shipping Products directly to Company, such delivery will be at Jabil’s expense, and title and risk of loss with respect to those Products pass to Company upon receipt at Company’s dock (DAP Company’s dock, per Incoterms 2010). For any shipments where Jabil acts as an agent in completing the Shipper’s Export Declaration and managing Company’s exports on behalf of Company, where the Company is the exporter of record (Principal Party in Interest - PPI), the Company hereby grants Jabil Power of Attorney to act on its behalf solely in managing those exports.

7.1 Delivery. Company reserves the right to refuse delivery of any quantity of Products in excess of that specified in its order or any delivery made more than five (5) days in advance of the delivery date.

7.2 Late Deliveries. In the event a shipment does not meet the delivery date, due to Jabil’s negligence, specified in the order, unless mutually agreed upon, Company may change shipping to premium transportation upon request. In that event, Jabil shall bear the expense of any difference in freight costs for the premium transportation. In the event the delay is due to a Supplier’s failure to perform and/or deliver or Gigamon’s failure to perform or deliver, then Gigamon shall bear the expense of any difference in freight costs for the premium transportation.

7.3 Expedited Deliveries. In the event premium freight is required, for either incoming material to Jabil or shipment of product to Company, Company’s customers, and/or Company’s designated third party distributors, that is required due to Forecast changes, ECO’s, MCO’s, but not due to Jabil’s negligence, Company shall bear the expense or any difference in freight costs for the premium transportation.

Any equipment, tooling, component, material or other goods or property, which is purchased by Jabil in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement, shall become the property of Company once Jabil is reimbursed for all NRE Costs. Jabil shall invoice Company for NRE Costs as it is incurred (or at other intervals agreed to by Jabil) during the term of this Agreement and upon cancellation, termination or expiration of this Agreement. Jabil agrees to request advance written approval from Company should resource requirements, and thereby NRE Costs, increase materially relative to estimated NRE Costs initially agreed by the Parties. Upon such request, Jabil shall provide to Company reasonably detailed supporting documentation and/or descriptions of the NRE Costs for which Jabil seeks reimbursement.

7.6 Taxes. Company shall be responsible for all federal, foreign, state and local sales, use, excise and other taxes (except taxes based on Jabil’s income, or property taxes on fixed assets or inventories), all delivery, shipping, and transportation charges and all foreign agent or brokerage fees, document fees, custom charges and duties except for those taxes incurred on the import and transportation of raw materials, which shall be included in the per unit price quoted.

In such cases Jabil will include all non-U.S. Dollar based content within cost detail submitted at the time of quote, and the cost will be decreased or increased to reflect currency fluctuations. At every FX Period, Jabil and Company will meet to establish the prices for the next FX Period for Products, Components and/or materials and value add services. The Company and

Additionally, in the event that Company is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or other duly authorized government entity to have failed to fully comply with laws applicable to its business operations, Company shall indemnify and defend Jabil for any fines or penalties paid and resulting directly from the failure of Company’s non-compliance. Jabil may employ counsel, at its own expense, to assist Jabil with respect to any such claims, provided that if such counsel is necessary because of a conflict of interest with Company or its counselor because Company does not assume control of the defense of a claim for which Company is obligated to indemnify Jabil hereunder, Company shall bear such expense. Company shall not enter into any settlement that affects Jabil’s rights or interests without Jabil’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
