The Nokia Co-op program ( the Co-op program ) is designed to support you, a Nokia Partner, to effectively market Nokia products and solutions to your customers. The Co-op program represents our continued commitment to ensure that you have the tools and resources to create demand, generate sales leads and realize revenue potential. 2. Who is eligible to participate in the Co-op program? The Co-op program is available to all partners who have signed a Partner Program Agreement or have been qualified by Nokia to participate in the Co-op program by written notice. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies for the Co-op program, please 2 / 11 Nokia Internal Use Nokia 2016

contact your Nokia Partner Sales Manager. Your company is eligible to participate in the Program for as long as the Partner Program Agreement is valid, your account with Nokia is current, and you have no overdue invoices. Nokia reserves the right to modify or end the program at any time. You will be notified of any such updates in writing. 3. How does the Co-op program work? Your company earns Co-op accruals that you can use to tailor your advertising, marketing and business development efforts to effectively promote and sell Nokia products and solutions. Your company is reimbursed 50% of an approved activity s actual cost in the form of a credit memo. 4. What are the program benefits for a Partner? Nokia offers the following ongoing commitment to our partners: Nokia redirects a portion of its profit margin in support of co-op activities. The percentage of Sales allocated for co-op is established in an ongoing contract addendum, and is in direct relationship to the customer s purchases. Coordinated Marketing support - a Nokia key marketing contact will work with each customer s marketing team to develop mutually-beneficial activities in addition to those already supported through Sales. Co-op accruals may be used to offset a wide variety of Nokia in-house and third-party vendor expenses. Nokia has contracted Birch Worldwide to create a customized online tool that facilitates planning, budgeting, and provides full visibility of Co-op accruals. Reimbursement requests and proof of performance are also managed through the tool. Accruals may be used to reimburse a wide range of mutually-beneficial marketing activities, from lead generation programs to sales training events to third party market research. 3 / 11 Nokia Internal Use Nokia 2016

5. What is in it for Nokia? Nokia and the Partner mutually benefit in this program in the following ways: revenue generation, branding/recognition/relationship building and shared expertise. 6. What are co-op accruals? Co-op accrual is the percentage earned through product purchases, tracked by Nokia Finance. Nokia offers Co-op only to select partners. Co-op accounts are created and accruals begin as soon as the Co-op Contract Addendum is signed and executed. Co-op accruals are calculated monthly and is one percent (1%) of a Partner s net purchases of Nokia eligible IP Routing & Transport portfolios, less any returns that may apply. 7. How does my company earn Co-op? The Nokia Co-op program is a 12-month rolling program. Co-op accruals are calculated on a monthly basis as 1% of your company s net purchases (taxes and logistics fees excluded) of eligible Nokia products (hardware and software; OEM and services are excluded) less any returns that may apply. Your co-op balance is available to you on the co-op online tool. 8. What is the accrual lifecycle and expiration period? Co-op accruals are available for use for 12 months provided your Partner Program Agreement with Nokia is valid. Each month s accrual expires after one year unless approved activities are properly claimed with all supporting documentation following the co-op program guidelines and processed by Birch. We will notify you, by e-mail, of the accruals that are due to expire 90 and 30 calendar days before their expiration. Claims must be fully audited prior to an accrual expiration date. 9. When do I start accruing co-op amounts? Your Co-op accrual will start the same month you signed your Nokia Partner Program Agreement. 4 / 11 Nokia Internal Use Nokia 2016

10. Are Co-op accruals transferable? No. 11. Do I have a Co-op account and user set up on the online program tool? Your Co-op account is created by Nokia as soon as the Partner Program Agreement becomes effective or as soon as the written notice referred to above is issued. Your PSM must request registration on the Co-op tool of your Partner Administrator in order for you to access your co-op account. 12. Once registered, how do I access the Co-op Program tool?
