5.  Order and Shipment of HP Products

    5.1  Orders. Each delivery of HP Products will be initiated by an Order
         issued to EMS by HP. Each Order will include: (i) unit quantity;
         (ii) unit price; (iii) shipping destination; (iv) Delivery Date; and
         (v) other instructions or requirements pertinent to the Order. Orders
         must specify quantities of HP Products and must meet ship pack
         quantity (SPQ) and minimum order quantity (MOQ) as defined in Exhibit
         H. HP may schedule regular intervals for deliveries by an appropriate
         Order setting forth the intervals, provided each of the interval
         deliveries is in a quantity that is an integer multiple of the ship
         pack quantity.  To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms
         of an Order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms specified in
         this Agreement will control and take precedence.   EMS and HP will
         work together to establish the mechanics of Prototype Orders and
         shipments.

    5.2  Purchase and Sale of Products.  HP shall purchase and EMS shall sell
         the HP Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

    5.3  Order Acknowledgment.  An Order will be deemed to have been placed as
         of the date of receipt of the Order by EMS.  EMS will promptly review
         and confirm and acknowledge the receipt of an HP order in its entirety
         electronically or through facsimile to HP within three (3) working
         days, for orders within the latest accepted Forecast. Orders shall be
         accepted upon receipt by EMS if they meet the following criteria:

            **

            **

         5.3.1  Supply Constraint.  If EMS's supply of the HP Product,
                Prototype and/or services ordered hereunder becomes
                constrained, EMS will reduce the quantities of HP Product,
                Prototypes and/or services to be supplied to HP in proportion
                to the reduction in quantities of products, prototypes and/or
                services of the same technology or utilizing the same
                manufacturing process to be supplied to satisfy others. Receipt
                of such allocated supply and later delivery of all undelivered
                ordered quantities shall constitute HP's exclusive remedy in
                the event of such a supply constraint  EMS shall provide
                written notification to HP within two (2) weeks of beginning
                and ending a supply constraint period that effects HP Products.

                                   Page-25
<PAGE>
         5.3.2  Upon written request from HP, EMS will arrange to have its
                independent auditor complete a review of relevant EMS records
                to determine whether EMS has complied with its obligations
                under this supply constraint provision.  The auditor shall be
                subject to the terms of an EMS confidentiality agreement and
                shall issue a EMS confidential report to both EMS and HP.  The
                report shall only specify whether EMS did or did not comply
                with its obligations and, to the extent EMS did not comply,
                identify the amount of HP Products, Prototype and/or services
                EMS should have provided to HP during the constraint.  No other
                information will be provided in the report.  For the avoidance
                of doubt, in no event shall the report provide, or be based
                upon, any information that is confidential to any third party.
                If EMS's independent auditor is unable to determine compliance
                because necessary information is restricted by third party
                confidentiality agreements, the report shall so state, and
                EMS's reporting and auditing obligations shall thereafter be
                deemed fully discharged.  HP shall only be entitled to request
                an audit within thirty (30) days after EMS has invoked its
                rights under this supply constraint provision.  The audit will
                be conducted at HP's expense.  However, if it is determined
                that EMS has not complied with its obligations, then EMS shall
                be responsible for the costs of the audit.  If an audit reveals
                that EMS has not complied with its obligations, then EMS shall
                discuss with HP the rescheduling dates for providing the
                quantity of Product identified by the auditor.  Such compliance
                and correction shall be HP's sole and exclusive remedy for
                EMS's non-compliance with the supply constraint provisions of
                this Section 5.3.1.

    5.4  Emergency Orders. If HP deems it necessary, HP may order HP Products
         by facsimile on an emergency basis (Emergency Order) subject to the
         availability of such HP Products in inventory.  EMS will use
         reasonable efforts to ship the Emergency Order to HP's stipulated
         destinations within forty-eight (48) hours after the receipt by EMS.
         HP shall be advised by EMS in advance of shipment of any additional
         expenses related to such emergency orders, which shall be subject to
         HP prior approval. EMS's fulfillment of such request shall be
         contingent on receiving HP's acceptance to pay the additional expenses
         prior to shipment.

    5.5  Forecasts. HP will provide a rolling twelve (12) month Forecast for
         Products, updated  quarterly, of its projected quantities. The initial
         Forecast is provided in Exhibit I.  All subsequent Forecasts shall
         follow this same format.  EMS shall acknowledge in writing the HP
         Forecast within ten working days of its receipt.  HP may revise any
         forecasts in its sole discretion and EMS shall use commercially
         reasonable efforts to accept such revised Forecast.  EMS will
         accept, at a minimum, the following quantities in the HP Forecast for
         Products:

                                   Page-26
<PAGE>
         Month 1:      **

         Month 2:      **

         Month 3:      **

         Month 4:      **

         Month 5:      **

         Month 6:      **

         Month 7 and beyond:  **

    5.6  Lead Time. Without HP's prior written consent within a twelve
         (12) month rolling Forecast, the maximum Lead Time between the date of
         Order placement and the Delivery Date shall in no event exceed the
         guidelines set forth in Exhibit E.  In the event that Lead Time is
         shortened, EMS shall use reasonable efforts to adjust the process
         described above so that HP can benefit from the shortened Lead Time.

    5.7  Buffer Inventory Requirement. EMS will maintain a single buffer
         inventory for the HP Product, including any related to HP
         subcontractors authorized hereunder, at EMS's site based initially on
         an average   **   weeks worth of HP Products from the most recent
         twelve (12) month rolling Forecast accepted by EMS. Thereafter, the
         quantity of buffer inventory will be reviewed and mutually agreed to
         by both parties on a quarterly basis.  If the buffer inventory
         associated with HP Products is depleted, and EMS has sufficient
         capacity to do so, EMS will replenish the depleted inventory to the
         current agreed upon level within    **    weeks.  If the parties
         cannot agree on the quantity of buffer inventory to be held, EMS will
         cease to maintain a buffer inventory for HP Products and deplete the
         existing inventory against existing Orders.  EMS will rotate its
         supply of buffer inventory used to make the HP Product on a first in
         first out basis.  HP agrees to purchase all remaining inventory at the
         expiration or early termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.
         The parties agree to work together to deplete inventory levels against
         existing Orders for HP Products by the end of each calendar year, and
         to replenish that inventory as soon as commercially reasonable after
         the start of the next calendar year.

    5.8  Order Changes. HP may decrease or cancel any Order by written notice
         to EMS prior to wafer start.  If HP decreases or cancels an Order at
         or after wafer start, EMS shall be entitled to be reimbursed by HP as
         set forth below:

                                   Page-27
<PAGE>
         (a)  **

         (b)  **

         HP may increase an Order subject to EMS's reasonable ability to meet
         the increased amount.

         5.8.1  Rescheduling. HP may request a one-time deferral of the
         committed Delivery Date for HP Product or services by providing
         written notice to EMS at least thirty (30) days in advance of the
         original Delivery Date. Delivery Dates can be rescheduled up to 90
         days later than the original Delivery Date, but not beyond the
         expiration of this Agreement, with no cancellation charge imposed.
         However, if the rescheduled Order is subsequently deferred or
         cancelled, then the cancellation charges specified above will become
         immediately due and payable.

    5.9  Shipments. All Orders are required to be shipped complete.  However,
         if EMS is unable to ship a complete Order, Manufacturer will give HP
         notice, within three (3) business days, if it knows that it cannot
         meet a Delivery Date or that only a portion of the HP Products will be
         available for shipment to meet a Delivery Date.  For partial
         shipments, EMS will ship the available HP Products unless directed by
         HP to reschedule shipment.

         If EMS ships any HP Products by a method other than as specified in
         the corresponding Order, EMS will pay any resulting increase in the
         cost of freight. HP may utilize drop shipment options to any HP
         designated delivery destination.

         If HP designates a drop shipment location outside the country in which
         the Order is placed, HP agrees to pay any additional costs associated
         with the shipment.

   5.10  Meeting Delivery Dates. If due to EMS's failure to make a timely
         shipment, the specified method of transportation would not permit EMS
         to meet the Delivery Date, the HP Product affected will be shipped by
         air transportation or other expedient means acceptable to HP.  EMS
         will pay for any resulting increase in the freight cost over that
         which HP would have been required to pay by the specified method of
         transportation.

         EMS's delivery performance shall be measured against the goal of one
         hundred percent (100%) On-Time Delivery.  In the event that EMS fails
         to make an On-Time Delivery on three or more occasions per quarter, to
         HP or its authorized subcontractors, EMS shall submit a corrective
         action plan to HP upon HP's request.  HP and EMS shall then meet to
         determine the corrective action measures which will be implemented by
         EMS, at EMS's request.  HP will adjust reported On-Time Delivery
         performance data to account for HP's actions that contribute to late
         deliveries by EMS.

                                   Page-28
<PAGE>
   5.11  No Advance Shipment. If HP Products are delivered more than three days
         in advance of the Delivery Date, HP may, at its option, either return
         the HP Products pursuant to Section 8 (Return of Products)  below or
         keep the HP Products with payment due as provided in Section 6.3
         (Payment Procedure) below.

   5.12  Overshipments/Undershipments/Partial Shipments. EMS shall make every
         reasonable attempt to ship all orders complete for the exact order
         quantity.  If EMS ships in excess of the quantity ordered, the amount
         of the over shipment may, at HP's discretion, be kept by HP, with HP
         and EMS initiating change orders to either add a line item for the
         excess quantity on the Order in question or initiating a change order
         to net against a future order.  HP, at its sole discretion, may delay
         processing of invoices for over shipped HP Product until the Delivery
         Date set forth on such future Order.

         At HP's discretion the amount in excess may be returned to EMS,
         pursuant to Section 8 (Return of Products), below.  EMS will be
         responsible for freight costs for all excess quantities returned.

         If EMS under ships an Order, EMS and HP shall work together to resolve
         the under shipment by either initiating change orders to close the
         Order short or initiating change orders to reschedule the shortage
         quantity to a new Delivery Date.  This reschedule would be considered
         a late shipment by EMS.

   5.13  Drop Shipments. HP may use the option to drop ship Products to any
         destination specified by HP.

   5.14  Title and Risk of Loss.  Unless otherwise specified in writing by HP,
         shipments will be F.O.B. origin. If HP designates the carrier,
         shipments will be F.O.B. carrier, except for HP Products shipped
         outside the United States which will be shipped Ex Works as defined by
         ICC Incoterms of 1990.  Title to HP Products and media ordered under
         this Agreement and risk of loss or damage will pass from EMS to HP
         upon EMS's delivery of the HP Products to the common carrier specified
         by HP, subject to the provisions below with respect to packing and
         handling.

   5.15  Packing List. Each delivery of HP Products to HP must include a
         packing list that contains at least:

         5.14.1  The Order number and the HP part number;

         5.14.2  The quantity of HP Products shipped; and

         5.14.3  The date of shipment.

                                   Page-29
<PAGE>
   5.16  Packaging. EMS must preserve, package, handle, and pack all HP
         Products so as to protect the HP Products from loss or damage, in
         conformance with good commercial practice and government regulations.
         Special static protection must be provided for HP Products requiring
         such packaging.

   5.17  Responsibility for Damage.  EMS will be liable for any loss or damage
         due to its failure to properly preserve, package, handle, or pack HP
         Products.  HP will not be required to assert any claims for such loss
         or damage against the common carrier involved. Further, HP will not be
         liable for any loss or damage due to a release of chemicals or other
         hazardous materials to the environment prior to HP's actual receipt of
         the corresponding HP Products.

6.  Prices and Payment Terms

    6.1  HP Product Prices.  EMS's prices for the HP Products are listed in
         Exhibit J, in U.S. currency unless otherwise stated, and may not be
         increased without HP's consent.  The prices for HP Products will be
         EMS's published prices, less any applicable discounts, unless the
         parties agree to a price schedule for HP Products.  EMS and HP agree
         to review HP Product prices quarterly.

    6.2  Changed Prices.  If during the Term changed prices or price formulas
         are put in effect by mutual agreement of HP and EMS, or reduced prices
         or price formulas are otherwise put in effect by EMS, such prices or
         price formulas (if resulting in lower prices than the then current
         price) will apply to all Orders issued by HP after the effective date
         of such prices or price formulas and to all unshipped Orders;
         provided, however, that such prices or pricing formulas shall not
         apply to any unshipped orders that include order backlogs of greater
         than    **    weeks.

    6.3  Payment Procedure.  Payment for HP Products will be net (30) days,
         after the latest of:  (i) receipt by HP of an appropriate invoice from
         EMS; (ii) receipt by HP of the corresponding HP Products; or (iii) the
         Delivery Date.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
         associated freight expenses and duties will be paid directly by HP.
         HP will not be liable for any costs related to or payments for
         unordered HP Products.  In addition, if HP's account balance exceeds
         its credit limit with EMS, or becomes delinquent, EMS may stop
         shipments to HP or ship to HP on a prepaid basis until the account is
         current again.

    6.4  **

                                   Page-30
<PAGE>
    6.5  Sales Taxes and Duties.  Prices are exclusive of all taxes or duties
         after delivery to the common carrier at the plant of manufacture
         (other than taxes levied on EMS's income) that EMS may be required to
         collect or pay upon shipment of the HP Products.  Any such taxes or
         duties must appear as a separate item on EMS's invoice.  HP agrees to
         pay such taxes or duties unless HP is exempt from such taxes or
         duties.  Where applicable, HP will provide EMS with an exemption
         resale certificate.

7.  Nonconforming Products

    7.1  Repair, Replacement, or Credit.  Subject to the limitations in Section
         12.2, HP may elect in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions
         of Section 8 (Return of Products) below, to return a Nonconforming
         Product for repair, replacement (subject to EMS's reasonable ability
         to repair or replace) or credit at EMS's expense.  Title to returned
         Nonconforming Products will pass to EMS upon delivery to the carrier.
         EMS will return replacement or repaired HP Products as soon as
         possible but in no event later than ten (10) work days after receipt
         of the Nonconforming Product from HP, or provide credit if unable to
         repair or replace within this time period.

    7.2  Nonconforming Product Remedy.  In the event that the HP Products are
         identified by HP as Nonconforming Products and are within warranty, HP
         will use EMS's Return Material Authorization (RMA) process to return
         suspected Nonconforming Products to EMS.  Upon receipt of suspected
         Nonconforming Product, EMS agrees to retest the HP Products to
         determine whether HP Product is Nonconforming Product.  If a no defect
         found situation occurs, EMS and HP will cooperate and use joint
         resources to find a solution to remedy the problem.  When a solution
         is achieved, EMS and HP will use commercially reasonable efforts to
         incorporate the solution for all future HP Products manufactured and
         delivered to HP, with financial responsibility for such
         implementations assigned based on the level of responsibility each
         party has for the Nonconforming Product.  In the event a solution
         cannot be agreed upon within 60 days from the date the HP Products are
         returned to EMS, both parties agree to escalate disputes to the proper
         level of management for resolution.

    7.3  Incremental Expenses.  In addition to the remedy in Section 12, if, as
         a result of receiving Nonconforming Product from EMS, HP incurs non-
         recoverable incremental expenses directly related to EMS's
         Nonconforming Product, EMS and HP agree to meet, within thirty (30)
         days after HP identifies the non-compliance and associated expenses,
         to discuss with best efforts the appropriation of fault for the
         Nonconforming Products and fairly apportion the resulting financial
         liability.  Any EMS sharing would take the form of an HP Product
         credit to HP.  If EMS and HP come to any agreement, they will do so in
         writing signed by each party.  Neither party is under any obligation
         unless and until an agreement is so documented.

                                   Page-31
<PAGE>
         Unless HP and EMS agree otherwise, the maximum timeframe allowed for
         financial resolution of any agreements made between EMS and HP for
         liability issues shall not exceed the actual lead-time of the HP
         Product plus thirty (30) days from the date of such an agreement.

8.  Return of Products

    8.1  Return Materials Authorization.  All HP Products returned by HP to EMS
         must be accompanied by a Return Materials Authorization ("RMA").
         Unless further verification is reasonably required by EMS, EMS will
         supply an RMA within two working days of HP's request.

    8.2  Return Charges.  All Nonconforming Products returned by HP to EMS, and
         all replacement or repaired HP Products shipped by EMS to HP to
         replace Nonconforming Products, will be at EMS's risk and expense,
         including transportation charges (round trip charges for replacement
         or repaired HP Products).

    8.3  Duty Regarding Nonconforming Products. EMS agrees not to represent
         that  rejected, returned, or unpurchased HP Products are built for HP
         or to HP specifications.

9.  Engineering Process Or Design Changes

    9.1  Notice of Change.  Except for Safety Standard Changes, below, EMS will
         give HP    **    days notice of any proposed changes affecting
         form, fit, function, reliability, site of manufacture or part number
         and shall provide evaluation samples, if requested by HP, at least
            **    days prior to the first proposed shipment of any HP Products
         involving such a proposed change.   Regardless of whether HP approves
         such a proposed change, Lead Time will not be changed except as
         provided in Lead Time Section 5.6 above.  With the exception of
         changes in site of manufacture, there shall be no implementation of
         any proposed changes without the written consent of HP, which consent
         shall not be unreasonably withheld.

    9.2  Proposed Changes.  HP may change HP-supplied drawings, designs, or
         other Specifications at any time prior to manufacture of corresponding
         released HP Products.  If any such change affects prices or delivery
         schedules of HP Products, an equitable adjustment will be made,
         provided that EMS shall make a written claim for an adjustment within
            **   from the date HP gives notice to EMS of the change.  EMS shall
         not be obligated to make changes until equitable adjustment is agreed
         upon.

    9.3  Option To Terminate.  If the parties are unable to agree upon any
         adjustment pursuant to Section 9.2 above, HP may terminate this
         Agreement as to the HP Products affected and shall pay EMS NRE
         incurred up to the point of cancellation, on a pro-rata basis, based
         on the amounts set forth in Exhibit K and/or cancellation charges
         specified in Section 5.8.

                                   Page-32
<PAGE>
    9.4  Safety Standard Changes.  EMS will give reasonable notice to HP if any
         upgrade, substitution or other change to an HP Product is required to
         make that HP product meet applicable safety standards or other
         governmental statutes, orders or regulations, even those that are not
         defined as changes affecting form, fit, function, reliability, site of
         manufacture or part number.

10.  Migration To New Or Supplemental Manufacturing Process

    10.1  Migration To New Process.  Other than planned process migrations, as
          described or outlined in Exhibit K, during the term of this
          Agreement, in the event that EMS decides to stop production of the
          manufacturing process used to manufacture HP Products ("End of
          Life"), EMS agrees to provide for migration of the HP Products to the
          new EMS process that replaces the existing process and to provide HP
          with one year's advance notice of EMS's intent to replace the
          existing process with a new process for continued manufacture of HP
          Product at EMS.  In such event, EMS and HP will meet to discuss
          whether to migrate the HP Products to the new process, or continue
          manufacturing under the current process and maintain support stock of
          the HP Products for the remainder of the HP product life.  Upon
          agreement, EMS agrees that services covered as part of EMS's standard
          NRE charges, as identified in Exhibit K, or those, which are
          substantially similar, as agreed by the parties, shall not be charged
          to HP for such process migration during the term of this contract
          period.  Such services shall apply only to the migration of the
          existing design as described by the net list used for manufacture of
          the existing design, without HP modification.  EMS's financial
          obligation with respect to NRE for such process migration shall be
          limited to the NRE required to perform those services.  HP shall
          provide resources for the migration effort at a level no less than
          what was needed to perform HP tasks and produce HP deliverables for
          the existing design.

    10.2  Samples. Other than planned process migrations, as described or
          outlined in Exhibit K, during the initial term of this Agreement, in
          the event that any of the HP Products will be migrated to the new
          process, EMS will fabricate and deliver at no charge to HP up to
              **      samples of affected HP Product for evaluation.  For
          purposes of qualification of the HP Product, HP may request samples
          of one or more Prototypes at least six (6) months prior to
          discontinuing production with the existing process.  EMS may, at a
          price to be negotiated, provide skew parts representing slow, fast
          and normal process variation.

    10.3  Performance.  If Prototypes of the HP Product produced using the new
          process fail to meet the performance of the HP Product produced with
          the existing process as agreed to by the parties, EMS will continue
          to manufacture such HP Products using the existing process for a
          period of one (1) year, or as otherwise reasonably agreed, from the
          date the parties determine that EMS cannot produce Prototypes of such
          HP Product using the new process and must provide for a last time buy
          as provided in Section 13.

                                   Page-33

11.  Quality

    11.1  Quality Program.  EMS agrees to maintain an objective quality program
          for all technologies it supplies to HP, or uses in connection with
          manufacturing of HP Products.  EMS's program will be in accordance
          with the current revision of HP's EMS Quality System Requirements,
          attached as Exhibit L, and, if applicable, any additional or
          substitute quality requirements agreed to by the parties.

    11.2  HP's Right To Inspect.  HP has the right to inspect, at EMS's plant,
          the HP Products and may, upon reasonable notification (minimum of  2
          weeks) and justification, conduct an audit of the associated
          manufacturing, assembly and test processes used to produce the HP
          Product.  The scope, duration and agenda of such audits shall be
          agreed to in advance by the Parties a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the
          audit.  Information that is non-proprietary and non-confidential that
          is agreed upon by HP and EMS to be reasonably critical to the success
          of the audit shall be provided to HP a minimum of 1 week in advance.
          For information that is proprietary or confidential to EMS (and
          expressly excluding third party proprietary or confidential
          information, which is hereafter referred to as Third Party
          Information) and where such information is agreed upon by HP and EMS
          to be reasonably critical to the success of the audit, EMS shall
          provide for HP's review of such information at EMS's premises in
          advance of the audit.  EMS personnel agreed upon to be critical to
          the success of the audit shall be identified in advance as part of
          the agenda discussions and shall be reasonably available to HP for
          review of relevant information during the audit.  In the event that
          such personnel are not reasonably available, EMS shall provide a
          competent alternative representative.  During such audits, EMS will,
          upon HP's request, provide HP with reasonable amounts of relevant
          documentation and data (and expressly excluding Third Party
          Information) that allows HP to evaluate EMS's compliance with its
          quality program.  HP shall abide by EMS's site security procedures
          and the terms of a valid confidential disclosure agreement, or
          equivalent, must be in place for HP to inspect HP Product at EMS's
          facility or audit EMS's manufacturing, assembly and test processes
          used to produce the HP Product.  To the extent review of Third Party
          Information is requested by HP in connection with an inspection, EMS
          shall use reasonable efforts to secure agreement from the third party

           hereunder infringes a mask work, patent or copyright or
           misappropriates a trade secret of a third party in any country in
           which EMS sells or provides similar products or services; provided
           that HP:

           14.1.1  promptly notifies EMS in writing, of the charge of

                        it non-infringing or remove any misappropriated trade
                        secret, or

                        HP's purchase price for the HP Product, provided HP has
                        followed generally accepted accounting principles.  In
                        no event will HP be required to recall the HP product

                        provide;

                   (c)  infringement by a non-EMS product alone, as opposed to

          supplied by the warranting party to the other party hereunder, and
          expressly excludes any subject matter supplied by the other party.

    14.4  Entire Obligation and Exclusive Remedy.  The foregoing provisions of
          this Section 14 state the entire obligation and exclusive remedy of
          EMS and HP regarding any claim of mask work, patent or copyright

    23.5  HP Termination.  If HP terminates this Agreement or an Attachment
          hereto due to EMS's breach under this Section 23, EMS will fill all
          applicable previously accepted purchase orders for Products, but EMS
          shall not be obligated to accept further applicable purchase orders
          after receiving notice.  HP may cancel any previously accepted
          purchase orders. HP may procure, upon such terms and in such manner
          as HP reasonably deems appropriate, products similar to the HP
          Product as to which this Agreement is terminated.  EMS agrees to
          reimburse HP upon demand for   additional costs incurred by HP in
          purchasing, qualifying and testing such similar products pursuant to
          Section 4.2.5. In no event, shall EMS pay mutually agreed upon NRE
          costs in excess of those NRE payments made to EMS by HP.  EMS further
          agrees to continue the performance of this Agreement to the extent
          not terminated under the provisions of this Section.

          If HP terminates this Agreement for any reason other than due to
          EMS's breach under this Section 23, EMS shall retain the rights
          provided in Section 23.4.  HP will pay EMS for actual NRE charges
          incurred by EMS, not to exceed NRE charges defined in Exhibit K.

    23.6  Transfer Of Deliverables.  EMS acknowledges that, upon termination of
          this Agreement, all Deliverables designed, developed or manufactured
          under this Agreement, but not delivered as of the effective date of
          termination, and belonging exclusively to HP must be transferred to
          HP within 30 days after the effective date of termination, except as
          required by surviving provisions.  HP acknowledges that, upon
          termination of this Agreement, all Deliverables belonging to EMS and
          still in the possession of HP and not returned to EMS as of the
          effective date of termination must be transferred to EMS within 30
          days after the effective date of termination, except as required by
          surviving provisions.  Payments due EMS for the Deliverables will be
          subject to the terms of Section 6.3.  Unless otherwise mutually
          agreed, or as defined herein, any licenses granted by either party to
          the other with respect to the Deliverables will terminate upon the
          effective date of termination of this Agreement.

          made.

    24.4  Independent Contractors.  The relationship of the parties established

    24.5  Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any right, license, privilege
          or obligation provided herein may be assigned, transferred or shared
          by either party without the other party's prior written consent, and
          any attempted assignment or transfer is void, except for payments due
          EMS and change of ownership as defined in section 4.5.  Any merger,
          consolidation, reorganization, transfer of substantially all assets
          of a party, or other change in control or ownership will be
          considered an assignment for the purposes of this Agreement, unless
          the surviving entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of a party.  This
          Agreement will be binding on the successors and permitted assignees
          of the parties and the name of the party appearing herein will be
          deemed to include the names of such party's successors or permitted
          assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this
          Agreement.

    24.6  No Waiver.  The waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this
          Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized
          representative of the waiving party.  Any such waiver will not be
          construed as a waiver of any other term, condition, or provision
          except as provided in writing, nor as a waiver of any subsequent
          breach of the same term, condition, or provision.

    24.7  Reference To Days.  All references in this Agreement to "days" will,
          unless otherwise specified herein, mean calendar days.

    24.8  Headings.  The Section headings used in this Agreement are for
          convenience of reference only.  They will not limit or extend the
          meaning of any provision of this Agreement, and will not be relevant
          in interpreting any provision of this Agreement.

    24.9  No Publication.  Neither party may publicize or disclose to any third
          party, without the written consent of the other party, the terms of
          this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
          sentence, no press releases may be made without the mutual written
          consent of each party.

   24.10  Severability.  If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or
          unenforceable by a body of competent jurisdiction, such provision
          will be construed, limited or, if necessary, severed to the extent
          necessary to eliminate such invalidity or unenforceability.  The
          parties agree to negotiate in good faith a valid, enforceable
          substitute provision that most nearly effects the parties' original
          intent in entering into this Agreement or to provide an equitable
          adjustment in the event no such provision can be added.  The other
          provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

          between the parties with respect to its subject matters and
          supersedes any previous communications, representations, or
          agreements, whether oral or written. For purposes of construction,
          this Agreement will be deemed to have been drafted by both parties.
          No modification of this Agreement will be binding on either party
          unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each
          party.

   24.12  Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed in all respects by
          the laws of New York without reference to any choice of laws
          provisions. Both parties agree to waive their right to a jury trial
          in any dispute arising out of this Agreement and agree any action
          concerning this Agreement shall be brought in a court of competent
          jurisdiction in the State of New York.  The prevailing party in any
          legal action hereunder shall be entitled to reimbursement by the
          other party for its expenses, including without limitation,
          reasonable attorney's fees.

   24.13  Non-Restrictive Agreement.  Each party agrees that this Agreement
          will not restrict the right of either party to enter into agreements
          with other parties for same or similar work, or to make, have made,
          use, sell, buy, develop, market or otherwise transfer any products or
          services, now or in the future, so long as confidential information
          is not disclosed.  EMS shall not sell, market or otherwise transfer
          to any third party any HP Products using the trademark or trade name
          of HP without prior written consent.

          International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.
