TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT ("Agreement") entered into with effect
as of the ______ day of March, 2000 (the "Effective Date").
BY AND BETWEEN:
NORTEL NETWORKS NA INC., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Nortel Networks Inc. ("NNI"), with offices located
at 4401 Great America Parkway, Santa Clara, CA 95052 on behalf of
itself and its Affiliates (hereinafter referred to as "NNNAI"),
AND:
NETGEAR, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of Delaware, with offices located at 4401 Great America Parkway,
Santa Clara, CA 95052 (hereinafter referred to as "NETGEAR").
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, prior to the Effective Date, NETGEAR was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NNNAI; and
WHEREAS, until the Effective Date, NNNAI, together with its parent
companies NNC and NNI (collectively, "Nortel Networks"), have provided
administrative, financial, management and other services to NETGEAR; and
WHEREAS, from and after the Effective Date, NETGEAR desires Nortel
Networks to continue to provide management, consulting and financial services to
NETGEAR and Nortel Networks is willing to provide such services to NETGEAR on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:
SECTION 1
TRANSITION SERVICES
1.1 DEFINITIONS
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
"Affiliate" means any person or entity directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with,
another person or entity.
1
2
"Services" means (i) the services described on Schedule 1.1 attached
hereto, (ii) such other services as may be agreed to in writing from time to
time by NETGEAR and Nortel Networks, as evidenced by an amendment to Schedule
1.1 attached hereto pursuant to Section 8.11 (Amendment) hereof; and (iii) the
Services, with such modifications as are required to reflect changes in Nortel
Networks' procedures, policies and services as described in Section 1.6(c)
(Policies and Procedures) hereof, whether or not evidenced by an amendment.
NETGEAR may unilaterally elect to terminate some or all of the Services, by
delivering written notice to Nortel Networks of its desire to terminate, not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such termination.
1.2 PARTIES
For the convenience of the parties hereto, and/or for more favorable tax
treatment or any other reason, the parties agree that the delivery and
acceptance, respectively, of Services under this Agreement may be made directly
by the parties hereto, and/or indirectly through an Affiliate of such party. In
any instance where a particular Service hereunder is to be either delivered or
accepted by an Affiliate instead of a party hereto, a blanket work order with
respect to such Service substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an
"Order"), shall be executed by NETGEAR (or Affiliate of NETGEAR, as applicable)
and accepted by Nortel Networks (or an Affiliate of Nortel Networks, as
applicable). The entities that issue and accept any such Order shall, upon such
issuance and acceptance, become parties to this Agreement as of such date, as
fully and completely as if they had executed this Agreement on the date hereof.
Such Order shall create contractual rights and obligations under this Agreement
solely between the entity that issues such Order and the entity that accepts it.
Additionally, in the case of Nortel Networks, certain Services may be provided
by a third-party provider with whom Nortel Networks or a Nortel Networks
Affiliate has contracted for such Service. In such instances, Nortel Networks or
the Nortel Networks Affiliate who has contracted with such third-party provider
shall be the party to this Agreement that is deemed to be providing such Service
through its third-party subcontractor.
1.3 AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE SERVICES
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the Term (as
hereinafter defined), NETGEAR hereby engages Nortel Networks, and Nortel
Networks hereby accepts such engagement, to provide Services to NETGEAR, either
directly or through an Affiliate as provided in Section 1.2 (Parties). NETGEAR
acknowledges and agrees that access to and use of the Services is provided
solely for the use of NETGEAR (or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates pursuant to an
Order) during the Term of the Agreement. NETGEAR shall not allow access to or
use of Services by any third party without the prior written consent of Nortel
Networks, which consent may be granted or withheld in Nortel Networks' sole
discretion. NETGEAR shall use its best efforts to become independent of Nortel
Networks with respect to each of the Services as soon as commercially
practicable.
2
3
1.4 TERMINATION TEAM
Nortel Networks and NETGEAR shall each appoint an employee to be
responsible for planning the process through which NETGEAR will become
independent of Nortel Networks with respect to each of the Services by no later
than the end of the Term (or such earlier date as may be specified on Schedule
1.1), through NETGEAR providing the service for itself or directly engaging
third parties to provide such services. These individuals (the "Termination
Team") shall meet no less frequently than monthly.
1.5 PERIODIC REVIEW
NETGEAR and Nortel Networks agree to jointly review the status of the
Termination Team's efforts, the Services and fees listed on Schedule 1.1 on a
regular basis, but in no event less frequently than quarterly. If such review
indicates that amendments are necessary, as a result of changes in scope,
volume, frequency or nature of the Services requested or otherwise, and such
proposed amendments are agreeable to both parties, such amendments shall be
implemented pursuant to Section 9.11 (Amendments) hereof.
1.6 LIMITATIONS
Nortel Networks and/or NETGEAR agree as follows, as applicable, and
NETGEAR hereby acknowledges the following limitations with respect to Nortel
Networks' provision of the Services:
1.6.1 MANNER OF PERFORMANCE
Nortel Networks agrees that it will endeavor to perform the
Services hereunder with the same degree of care, skill and
diligence with which it performs similar services for itself,
consistent with past practices, including, without limitation,
with respect to the type, quality and timeliness of such services,
subject to variation in the provision of such Services that may be
inherent in the plan of Services requested by NETGEAR hereunder
(including without limitation, where a service related to any
Service to be provided hereunder is provided by NETGEAR for itself
or by a third party, or differences in quality and timeliness, if
any, that may be caused by a Firewall (as defined herein.) Other
than the foregoing, Nortel Networks makes no representations or
warranties hereunder with respect to any Service, including
without limitation any warranty of noninfringement.
1.6.2 AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES
If Nortel Networks shall cease to provide a particular Service for
itself, Nortel Networks may cease to provide such similar
Service(s) to NETGEAR, effective as of the later of (i) the time
that Nortel Networks ceases to provide such Service for itself, or
(ii) following thirty (30) days' notice to NETGEAR. NETGEAR
acknowledges that the demand for Services may exceed Nortel
Networks' available capacity to provide such Services, making it
necessary for Nortel
3
4
Networks to prioritize requests for Services or take other steps
to manage efficiently the provision of such Services. The
management of the Services shall be left to the reasonable
judgment of Nortel Networks, provided, however, that, in
prioritizing requests for services, Nortel Networks shall, in the
ordinary course, consider the needs of NETGEAR to be no less
important than its own needs or the needs of its Affiliates.
1.6.3 POLICIES OR PROCEDURES
The Services will be provided by Nortel Networks in accordance
with Nortel Networks' policies and procedures. NETGEAR agrees to
abide by such policies and procedures, which may change from time
to time. Nortel Networks reserves the right to make corresponding
changes to the Services provided hereunder. Any such change shall
be evidenced as soon as practicable by an amendment to Schedule
1.1 pursuant to Section 9.11 (Amendments) hereof, to the extent an
amendment is deemed necessary by Nortel Networks or NETGEAR. When
changes permitted under this Section 1.6.3 are made to the
Services, such Services, as changed, shall immediately be subject
to the provisions of this Agreement and deemed to be "Services"
for all purposes hereunder, whether or not such changes are ever
evidenced by an amendment to this Agreement and/or its Schedules.
1.6.4 NEW AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING AGREEMENTS
NORTEL Networks' obligation to provide Services under this
Agreement shall not be deemed to require Nortel Networks to enter
into any new agreements or amendments to existing agreements
(including without limitation supply, leasing or licensing
agreements), or make any additional purchases, solely to provide
Services to NETGEAR. However, if Nortel Networks or a Nortel
Networks Affiliate elects to enter into any such new agreement or
an amendment to an existing agreement specifically to provide
Services to NETGEAR, the costs of such agreement or amendment that
are allocable to the provision of Services to NETGEAR will be
charged to NETGEAR.
1.6.5 TECHNOLOGY AND IMPROVEMENTS
(i) Nortel Networks Technology.
Except as may be provided in the Intellectual Property
License Agreement between Nortel Networks and NETGEAR dated
as of March _, 2000, any Nortel Networks processes,
techniques, hardware, software, copyrights, patents,
practices or other technical or proprietary matter related
to, arising from, or used in connection with, the
performance of the Services ("Technology"), and any
improvement, modification or new development in the
Technology ("Improvement"), shall be the sole and exclusive
property of Nortel
4
5
Networks. To the extent necessary to give effect to the
foregoing, upon Nortel Networks' request, NETGEAR shall
promptly, and cause its employees, agents and contractors
to promptly: (a) disclose all information and provide
copies of all documents relating to such Improvement to
Nortel Networks; (b) assign all right, title and interest
in any such Improvement to Nortel Networks; and (c) execute
such documents and do such other acts as Nortel Networks
may reasonably request.
(ii) Third Party Technology.
NETGEAR acknowledges that the provision of Services may
require that NETGEAR have access to software licensed by
Nortel Networks or a Nortel Networks Affiliate from a third
party. Accordingly, Nortel Networks, to the extent of its
legal right so to do, if any, hereby grants to NETGEAR a
sublicense under rights Nortel Networks or a Nortel
Networks Affiliate may have, if any, in such third party
software, but only to the extent necessary to effect the
provision of Services hereunder. Nothing herein shall
require Nortel Networks or a Nortel Networks Affiliate to
acquire additional rights to sublicense such rights from
any third party. NETGEAR shall indemnify and hold harmless
Nortel Networks and its Affiliates from any and all claims
and liabilities (including legal fees and expenses) arising
out of NETGEAR'S use of such third party software.
1.7 INSURANCE
Services related to insurance shall be provided for the types of
insurance specified on Schedule 1.7, but only so long as Nortel Networks
continues to own in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the equity of NETGEAR on a
fully-diluted basis. After such time, NETGEAR shall be responsible for obtaining
its own insurance. This Section 1.7 constitutes notice to NETGEAR from Nortel
Networks with respect to these matters, and NETGEAR shall mark its records
accordingly and be responsible for obtaining replacement insurance policies at
the proper time.

shareholder. NETGEAR shall promptly notify Nortel Networks of any such sale,

directly to the performance of the Services, at a summary level, consistent with

be brought against Nortel Networks by NETGEAR as a result of or arising out of
actions, errors or omissions of Nortel Networks in failing to provide the
Services in the manner described in Section 1.6.1 (Manner of Performance)
("Defective Service"), NETGEAR'S sole remedy in such instance shall be (i) to
demand that Nortel Networks provide the Service in the manner described in
Section 1.6.1, whereupon Nortel Networks shall in good faith attempt to provide
the Services in such manner, or, (ii) if such Service cannot, for any reason
except force majeure as described in Section 9.10 hereof, be provided in such
manner, Nortel Networks' reimbursement to NETGEAR for any payment made by
NETGEAR for Defective Service, or, if such Defective Service has not yet been
paid for by NETGEAR, the cancellation of any obligation of NETGEAR to pay the

action that any person or entity (other than NETGEAR) may make or file against
Nortel Networks or its officers, directors, employees, managers, partners or
agents in connection with this Agreement or the Services, regardless of the
standard of negligence or culpability alleged,
SECTION 6
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
In performing the Services hereunder, Nortel Networks shall operate as
and have the status of an independent contractor, subject only to the general
direction of NETGEAR regarding the Services to be rendered, as opposed to the
method of performance of such Services. No party's employees shall be considered
employees or agents of the other party, nor shall the employees of any party be
eligible or entitled to any benefits, perquisites or privileges given or
extended to any of the other party's employees. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a joint venture or partnership
between the parties. No party shall have any power to control the activities
and/or operations of the other party. No party shall have any power or authority
to bind or commit any other party. NETGEAR shall indemnify and hold Nortel

with any claim, suit or proceeding relating to the foregoing.
SECTION 7
CONFIDENTIALITY AND ACCESS
7.1 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
NETGEAR acknowledges that the procedures, operations, processes, computer
programs and facilities used by Nortel Networks or its Affiliates in performing
the Services are proprietary to Nortel Networks (and/or its Affiliates and/or
third party suppliers), have been established and maintained at great expense,
are protected as confidential information and trade secrets, are of great value
to Nortel Networks and provide Nortel Networks with a substantial competitive
advantage in its business. Any information of either party to this Agreement
provided to or accessible by the other party in connection herewith, regardless
of form, including, but not limited to all data, processes, technical drawings,
designs and concepts; software programs, routines, formulae and concepts,
production plans, designs, layouts and schedules; marketing analyses, plans,
customer data and surveys; all matters relating to either party's finances and
personnel and any other information ("Confidential Information") shall be
received and held in strict confidence, used only for purposes related to this
Agreement and shall not otherwise be disclosed by the other party, its agents,
employees, contractors or subcontractors, without the prior written consent of
the other party. "Confidential Information" as defined herein does not include
any information (i) lawfully received from another source free of restriction
and without breach of this Agreement, (ii) that becomes generally available to
the public without breach of this Agreement, (iii) known to the receiving party
at the time of disclosure free from any confidentiality obligations, or (iv)
independently developed by the receiving party without resort to such
confidential or proprietary information. All Confidential Information in
tangible form shall be returned to the disclosing party upon its request. Upon
either party's written request, the other party shall cause each of its agents,
employees, contractors or subcontractors who will have access to the
Confidential Information to sign a written agreement setting forth his or her
individual confidentiality obligations, substantially in the form of Exhibit B,
which Exhibit B is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. All
Confidential Information shall be owned and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the disclosing party, and all rights to Confidential Information
shall be held in trust by the other party. Each party shall take reasonable
precautions to prevent the unauthorized disclosure to outside parties of such
information, except as may be necessary by reason of legal or regulatory
requirements beyond the reasonable control of the recipient party.
7.2 ACCESS
NETGEAR agrees that it shall, without charge, provide Nortel Networks (or
any Nortel Networks Affiliate or third party service provider) with such access
to NETGEAR'S premises and/or personnel, and such assistance as may reasonably be
required for Nortel Networks to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If
NETGEAR has access (either on-site or remotely) to any of Nortel Networks'
computer systems in relation to the Services, NETGEAR
11
12
shall limit such access solely to the use of such systems for purposes of the
Services and shall not access or attempt to access any of Nortel Networks'
computer systems, files, software or services other than those required for the
Services, or those that are publicly available (e.g. public websites). NETGEAR
shall limit such access to those of its employees, agents or contractors with a
bona fide need to have such access in connection with the Services, and shall
follow all of Nortel Networks' security rules and procedures for restricting
access to its computer systems. All user identification numbers and passwords
disclosed to NETGEAR and any information obtained by NETGEAR as a result of
NETGEAR'S access to and use of Nortel Networks' computer systems shall be deemed
to be, and treated as, Nortel Networks' confidential information hereunder.
Nortel Networks and NETGEAR shall cooperate in the investigation of any apparent
unauthorized access to any Nortel Networks computer system. These provisions
concerning computer access shall apply equally to any access and use by NETGEAR
of Nortel Networks' electronic mail system, Nortel Networks' electronic switched
network, either directly or via a direct inward service access (DISA) feature,
or any other property, equipment or service of Nortel Networks, and any third
party software not proprietary to Nortel Networks but that may be accessible by
NETGEAR in connection with this Agreement.
7.3 FIREWALL PROTECTION
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2 (Access) hereof,
prior to Nortel Networks' performance of certain Services, action must be taken
to insulate one party's and/or its Affiliates' operations, assets, proprietary
information, software or data from that of the other party and/or its Affiliates
(such insulation being referred to hereinafter as a "Firewall"). Nortel Networks
shall give notice to NETGEAR indicating what aspects of each party's business
need to be isolated, the nature of the activities necessary to accomplish such
isolation and the expected time and cost involved. Unless NETGEAR advises Nortel
Networks in writing, within seven (7) business days from its receipt of Nortel
Networks' notice, that NETGEAR no longer desires the Service that gave rise to
the need for a Firewall, Nortel Networks shall have the right to undertake the
work involved to construct a Firewall, at NETGEAR'S expense.
7.4 IRREPARABLE HARM: REMEDIES
Each party acknowledges and agrees that any violation or threatened
violation by such party of any of the terms set forth in Section 1.6.5(i)
(Nortel Networks Technology) and Section 7 hereof would cause irreparable injury
to the other party, that the remedies at law for any violation or threatened
violation thereof would be inadequate, and that such other party will, in
addition to and not in limitation of any rights or remedies available at law or
in equity, be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief and specific
performance without the necessity of proving actual damages.

available to Nortel Networks) and such other parts of the Premises as the
parties may agree in writing. NETGEAR shall use and occupy the Licensed Areas
pursuant to the reasonable rules and regulations established by Nortel Networks
for each related Premises, and, if Nortel Networks is a lessee of such Premises,
only as permitted under the related lease. Nortel Networks retains the right to
relocate NETGEAR, at Norte] Networks' expense, to any space in a given Premises
at any time, so long as such space contains at least the same number of square
feet as the original Licensed Area. NETGEAR may not assign any Real Property
License or further license all or any part of any Licensed Area.
8.2 FACILITY-RELATED SERVICES
So long as the NETGEAR is occupying any Licensed Area pursuant to this
Section 8, NETGEAR shall receive or be entitled to use certain facility-related
services that are available at the related Premises to Nortel Networks' other
contractors or venders occupying such Premises, but excluding any health or
exercise-related facilities. Nortel Networks shall have no obligation to provide
any services not provided to its other contractors or vendors occupying the
Premises.
8.3 TERMINATION OF REAL PROPERTY LICENSE
Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1, or in any Schedule and Exhibit
attached hereto or elsewhere in this Agreement, Nortel Networks may terminate
any or all Real Property Licenses at any time (a) if Nortel Networks is a lessee
of such Premises and the related lease expires or is otherwise terminated, or
(b) if Nortel Networks has provided the NETGEAR with written notice that NETGEAR
has violated the rules and regulations established by Nortel Networks or any
third party lessor for any Premises or if the NETGEAR is otherwise in violation
of a related lease, and such breach or violation is not cured within ten (10)
Business Days of NETGEAR'S receipt of such notice; or (c) upon thirty (30) days
written notice by Nortel Networks to the NETGEAR.
8.4 CONDITION OF LICENSED AREAS; ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
The NETGEAR hereby accepts each Premises and Licensed Area in an "as is"
condition. Nortel Networks shall have no obligation to make any alteration or
improvement to any Licensed
13
14
Area for NETGEAR'S use or occupancy thereof. The NETGEAR shall not make any
alterations or additions to any Premises or Licensed Area without the written
consent of Nortel Networks.
8.5 FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
The NETGEAR shall have the right to furnish each Licensed Area with such
furniture, equipment and other assets ("Furnishings") as it sees fit, except
that NETGEAR shall not install any trade fixtures without Nortel Networks' prior
written consent, and Nortel Networks shall have no obligation to install any
trade fixtures for or on behalf of NETGEAR. All Furnishings to be brought onto
the Licensed Areas by NETGEAR are set forth on Schedule 8.5 hereto. All
Furnishings shall remain at all times the property of NETGEAR, except that any
Furnishings remaining in any Licensed Area after the surrender thereof by
NETGEAR, shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Nortel
Networks without payment therefor.
8.6 HOLDING OVER
NETGEAR shall have no right to occupy any Licensed Area after the end of
the respective License Term. If NETGEAR remains in possession of any Licensed
Area after any License Term, NETGEAR shall be responsible for all damages and
costs incurred by Nortel Networks as a result of such unauthorized occupancy. In
addition, NETGEAR shall pay to Nortel Networks a holdover fee in an amount equal
to 150% of the License Fee during the period of its unauthorized occupancy.
Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to grant NETGEAR any right
to occupy any Licensed Area after its respective License Term.

EXHIBIT B
CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT
I, the undersigned, acknowledge that NETGEAR, Inc. ("NETGEAR"), has a
contractual relationship with Nortel Networks Corporation or an affiliate of
Nortel Networks Corporation (each, a "Nortel Networks Company") related to the
performance of certain "Services", as a result of which in the course of my work
as an employee, agent, contractor or subcontractor of NETGEAR, or as an employee
of such agent, contractor or subcontractor of NETGEAR, I may be given access to
information of a Nortel Networks Company.
In consideration of (i) a Nortel Networks Company permitting NETGEAR to
disclose to me, (ii) a Nortel Networks Company's direct disclosure to me, and/or
(iii) access by me to information of a Nortel Networks Company in the course of
performing Services, and in consideration of the compensation paid to me by
NETGEAR or by an agent, contractor or subcontractor of NETGEAR for performance
of Services, I agree as follows:
1. I shall receive and maintain all information disclosed to or accessed
by me (whether orally or in written or other tangible form or otherwise)
relating to a Nortel Networks Company and all work product produced by me in
strictest confidence.
2. I shall not provide copies of any written or other tangible materials
disclosed to, produced by or accessed by me to any parties to other than
authorized employees of NETGEAR or the Nortel Networks Company.
3. I shall return to the Nortel Networks Company any materials provided
by the Nortel Networks Company upon request therefor.
4. Any materials produced by me in connection with Services ("Work
Product") shall be the sole property of the Nortel Networks Company, and I
hereby assign whatever right, title and interest I may have or claim to such
Work Product property and all rights therein, including, but not limited to, any
patent, copyright, right to create derivative works, trademarks, trade secret,
mask works, or other intellectual property rights, to the Nortel Networks
Company, and hereby authorize any Nortel Networks Company and/or any person or
entity obtaining rights directly or indirectly from such Nortel Networks Company
(to the extent of such rights) to make any desired changes to the Work Product
or any part thereof, to combine or use the Work Product with any other goods,
products, materials, services or software in any manner desired, and to withhold
my identity as an author in connection with any distribution or use of the Work
Product in any manner thereof, either alone or in combination with other goods,
products, materials, services or software.
5. I shall not make use of any information disclosed to, produced by or
accessed by me for any purpose other than to perform Services.
30
6. The obligations hereunder are personal to me and shall continue in
effect after the completion of Services, regardless of whether or not I remain
associated in any manner, either directly or indirectly with NETGEAR, its
agents, contractors and/or subcontractors.
7. I acknowledge that damages may not be an adequate remedy for a breach
of this agreement by me and, consequently, that an injunction and/or other
appropriate equitable relief may be obtained to remedy a breach or threatened
breach hereof.
