  <B>  <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">THIS LOAN 
AND SECURITY AGREEMENT</B> is entered into on the above date between SILICON 
VALLEY BANK,  COMMERCIAL FINANCE DIVISION ('Silicon'), whose address 
is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California  95054 and the borrower(s) named 
above (jointly and severally, the 'Borrower'), whose chief executive 
office is located at the above address ('Borrower's Address').  The 
Schedule to this Agreement (the 'Schedule') shall for all purposes be 
deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and the same is an integral part of this 
Agreement.  (Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth 
in Section 8 below.)</P>
<B><I><P>1.&#9;LOANS.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">1.1  Loans. </B></I> Silicon will make loans * to Borrower 
(the 'Loans'), in amounts determined by Silicon in its sole 
discretion, up to the amounts (the 'Credit Limit') shown on the 
Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is 
continuing, and subject to deduction of any Reserves for accrued interest and 
such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper from time to time.    </P>
<B><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">* and other credit extensions</P>
<I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">1.2  Interest.</B></I>  All Loans and all other monetary 
Obligations shall bear interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where 
expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement.  Interest shall be 
payable monthly, on the last day of the month.  Interest may, in Silicon's 
discretion, be charged to Borrower's loan account, and the same shall thereafter 
bear interest at the same rate as the other Loans.  Silicon may, in its 
discretion, charge interest to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with 
Silicon.  Regardless of the amount of Obligations that may be outstanding from 
time to time, Borrower shall pay Silicon minimum monthly interest during the 
term of this Agreement in the amount set forth on the Schedule (the 
'Minimum Monthly Interest').</P>
<B><I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">1.3  Overadvances. </B></I> If at any time or for any 
reason * the total of all outstanding Loans and all other Obligations exceeds 
the Credit Limit (** an 'Overadvance'), Borrower shall 
<STRIKE>immediately</STRIKE> *** pay the amount of the excess to Silicon, 
without notice or demand.  Without limiting Borrower's obligation to repay to 
Silicon on demand the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Silicon 
interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at a rate 
equal to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable to the 
Overadvance <STRIKE>, plus an additional 2% per annum</STRIKE>.</P>
<B><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">* either (A) the total of all outstanding Loans and all 
other Obligations (other than the Celestica Letter of Credit) exceeds the amount 
set forth in clause (a) of Section 1 of the Schedule, or (B)</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">** in either case, </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">*** promptly (and in any event within 3 days)</P>
<I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">1.4  Fees.</B></I>  Borrower shall pay Silicon the fee(s) 
shown on the Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums 
payable to Silicon and are not refundable.</P>
<B><I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">1.5  Letters of Credit.</B></I>  At the request of 
Borrower, Silicon may, in its sole discretion, issue or arrange for the issuance 
of letters of credit for the account of Borrower, in each case in form and 
substance satisfactory to Silicon in its sole discretion (collectively, 
'Letters of Credit').  The aggregate face amount of all outstanding 
Letters of Credit * from time to time shall not exceed the amount shown on the 
Schedule (the 'Letter of Credit Sublimit'), and shall be reserved 
against Loans which would otherwise be available hereunder.  **  Borrower shall 
pay all bank charges (including charges of Silicon) for the issuance of Letters 
of Credit, together with such additional fee as Silicon's letter of credit 
department shall charge in connection with the issuance of the Letters of 
Credit.  Any payment by Silicon under or in connection with a Letter of Credit * 
shall constitute a Loan hereunder on the date such payment is made.  Each Letter 
of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than thirty days prior to the 
Maturity Date.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold Silicon 
harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments made by 
Silicon, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon arising 
out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit.  Borrower agrees to be bound 
by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit 
guarantied by Silicon and opened for Borrower's account or by Silicon's 
interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Silicon for Borrower's 
account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Silicon shall not be liable 
for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in 
following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or 
any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.  Borrower understands 
that Letters of Credit may require Silicon to indemnify the issuing bank for 
certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such 
issuing bank.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Silicon harmless 
with respect to any loss, cost, expense, or liability incurred by Silicon under 
any Letter of Credit as a result of Silicon's indemnification of any such 
issuing bank.  The provisions of this Loan Agreement, as it pertains to Letters 
of Credit, and any other present or future documents or agreements between 
Borrower and Silicon relating to Letters of Credit are cumulative.</P>
<B><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">* (other than the Celestica Letter of Credit)</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">** The Celestica Letter of Credit is fully cash-secured by 
the Celestica LC Cash Collateral, and therefore is not counted against the

performance of all of the Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to 
Silicon a security interest in all of Borrower's interest in the following, 
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located:  All Inventory, 
Equipment, Receivables, and General Intangibles, including, without limitation,

any time in the future in Silicon's possession (including claims and credit

all of the Obligations arising out of or in connection with the Celestica Letter 
of Credit, Borrower hereby grants to Silicon a security interest in all of 
Borrower's interest in the Celestica LC Cash Collateral.</P>

representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date), and 
shall be true, correct, and complete in all material respects at and as of the 
date of delivery of each executed Compliance Certificate required under Section 
6(6) of the Schedule, as though made on and as of the date of such delivery 
(except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate 
solely to an earlier date)</P>
<I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">3.1  Corporate Existence and Authority.</B></I>  Borrower, 
if a corporation, is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing 
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.  
Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all 
jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would have a material adverse effect 
on Borrower.  The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this 
Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and 
validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with 
their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by 
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to 
creditors' rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Borrower's articles or 
certificate of incorporation, or Borrower's by-laws, or any law or any  material 
agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (iv) 
do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or 
obligation under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon 
Borrower or its property.</P>

Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name.  Listed 
on the Schedule are all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower's present 
and prior trade names.  Borrower shall give Silicon 30 days' prior written 
notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name.  
Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, with all laws relating to 
the conduct of business under a fictitious business name.</P>
<B><I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">3.3  Place of Business; Location of Collateral. 
</B></I> The address set forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's 
chief executive office.  In addition, Borrower has places of business and

of the Collateral to a location other than Borrower's Address or one of the 
locations set forth on the Schedule.</P>
<B><I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">3.4  Title to Collateral; Permitted Liens.</B></I>  
Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all 
the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased by Borrower.  The 
Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, 
security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens.  
Silicon now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and 
enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the 
Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and the 
Collateral against all claims of others.  None of the Collateral now is or will 
be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to 
become a fixture.  Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real 
property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the 
Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, 
restrain or impair Borrower's right to remove any Collateral from the leased 
premises.  Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third 
party has an interest (whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of 
trust, lien or otherwise), Borrower shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use 
its <STRIKE>best</STRIKE> * efforts to cause such third party to execute and 
deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to Silicon, such waivers and 
subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to ensure that Silicon's rights 
in the Collateral are, and will continue to be, superior to the rights of any 
such third party.  Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply

now or in the future may be located.</P>

maintain the Collateral in good working condition, and Borrower will not use the 
Collateral for any unlawful purpose.  Borrower will immediately advise Silicon 
in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.</P>
<B><I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">3.6  Books and Records.</B></I>  Borrower has 
maintained and will maintain at Borrower's Address complete and accurate books 
and records, comprising an accounting system in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles.</P>
<B><I><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">3.7  Financial Condition, Statements and 
Reports.</B></I>  All financial statements now or in the future delivered to 
Silicon have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles and now and in the future will completely and accurately 
reflect the financial condition of Borrower, at the times and for the periods 
therein stated.  Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to 
Silicon and the date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in the 
financial condition or business of Borrower.  Borrower is now and will continue

returns and reports required by foreign, federal, state and local law, and 
Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and 
local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions now or in the future owed 
by Borrower.  Borrower may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes, 
provided that Borrower (i) in good faith contests Borrower's obligation to pay 
the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and 
conducted, (ii) notifies Silicon in writing of the commencement of, and any 
material development in, the proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any 
other steps required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any 
of the Collateral.  Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed 
for any of Borrower's prior tax years which could result in additional taxes 
becoming due and payable by Borrower.  Borrower has paid, and shall continue to 
pay all amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing 
and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has 
not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete 
termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any 
such plan which could result in any liability of Borrower, including any 
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any 
other governmental agency.  Borrower shall, at all times, utilize the services 
of an outside payroll service providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll 
taxes payable by Borrower.  </P>

therefor known to Borrower) which may result, either separately or in the 
aggregate, in any material adverse change in the financial condition or business 
of Borrower, or in any material impairment in the ability of Borrower to carry 
on its business in substantially the same manner as it is now being conducted.  
Borrower will promptly inform Silicon in writing of any claim, proceeding, 
litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted by or against 
Borrower involving any single claim of <STRIKE>$50,000</STRIKE> * or more, or

</I> </B>Borrower shall deliver to Silicon transaction reports and loan 
requests, schedules and assignments of all Receivables, and schedules of 
collections, all on Silicon's standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower's 
failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Silicon's 
security interest and other rights in all of Borrower's Receivables, nor shall 
Silicon's failure to advance or lend against a specific Receivable affect or 
limit Silicon's security interest and other rights therein.  Loan requests 
received after 12:00 Noon will not be considered by Silicon until the next 
Business Day.  *  Together with each such schedule and assignment, or later if 
requested by Silicon, Borrower shall furnish Silicon with copies (or, at

"blocked account" as Silicon may specify, pursuant to a blocked account 
agreement in such form as Silicon may specify.  Silicon or its designee may, at 
any time, notify Account Debtors that the Receivables have been assigned to

Silicon in payment of any Receivables.</P>

failure to collect any Receivable, or for settling any Receivable in good faith 
for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Silicon be deemed to be 
responsible for any of Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement 
giving rise to a Receivable.  Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Silicon 
from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.</P>

recover its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not limited to) 
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution
